Remaking the Readymade Duchamp Man Ray and the Conundrum of the Replica

Remaking the Readymade Duchamp Man Ray and the Conundrum of the Replica

Replication and originality are central concepts in the artistic oeuvres of Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray. Remaking the Readymade reveals the underlying and previously unexplored processes and rationales for the collaboration between Duchamp Man Ray and Arturo Schwarz on the replication of readymades and objects. The 1964 editioned replicas of the readymades sent shock waves through the art world. Even though the replicas undermined ideas of authorship and problematized the notion of identity and the artist they paradoxically shared in the aura of the originals becoming stand-ins for the readymades. Scholar-poet-dealer Arturo Schwarz played a crucial role opening the door to joint or alternate authorship—an outstanding relationship between artist and dealer. By unearthing previously unpublished correspondence and documentary materials and combining this material with newly conducted exclusive interviews with key participants Remaking the Readymade details heretofore unrevealed aspects of the technical processes involved in the (re)creation of iconic long-lost Dada objects. Launched on the heels of the centenary of Duchamp’s Fountain this new analysis intensifies and complicates our understanding of Duchamp and Man Ray’ initial conceptions and raises questions about replication and authorship that will stimulate significant debate about the legacy of the artists the continuing significance of their works and the meaning of terms such as creativity originality and value in the formation of art. | Remaking the Readymade Duchamp Man Ray and the Conundrum of the Replica

Revival: Economic Planning in Soviet Russia (1935) Socialsm and the Market (Volume III)

Revival: Economic Planning in Soviet Russia (1935) Socialsm and the Market (Volume III)

The ideas set forth in these pages matured in the authors mind during the early years of constructive communism in Petrograd. The communist government intoxicated by its successes in the counter-revolution had promised to deal promptly with all economic problems now that its hands where free to do so. It was at this moment of its greatest triumphs that the author put forward his contention that the system of Marxian communism as then conceived was-intrinsically unsound and must inevitably break down. | Revival: Economic Planning in Soviet Russia (1935) Socialsm and the Market (Volume III)

Constructing the East African Community Diffusion from African and European Regional Organizations

Constructing the East African Community Diffusion from African and European Regional Organizations

This book provides a systematic analysis of the establishment and decision-making processes concerning the institutional design of the East African Community (EAC) throughout the 1990s and discusses to what extent these were impacted and inspired by other regional organizations from Africa and Europe. Analysing the decision-making processes that led to the set-up of the EAC the book explores the extent to which they were impacted by several other regional organizations namely the Organization of African Unity (OAU) the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) the Southern African Development Community (SADC) the European Union (EU) and the first EAC. The findings indicate that the relevant east African state and non-state actors adopted substantial aspects from the first EAC the EU and the COMESA and adapted them to set up the current EAC. This book demonstrates that the perception of other regional organizations and their institutional design considerably effected the construction of the EAC; here its own past provided crucial learning objectives which challenges the notion of mimicry or replica regional organizations of the EU in the Global South. This work will be of particular interest to scholars and students of regional and international organizations international relations multilevel governance approaches as well as diffusion literature. | Constructing the East African Community Diffusion from African and European Regional Organizations
