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 By unearthing previously unpublished correspondence and documentary materials and combining this material with newly conducted exclusive interviews with key participants Remaking the Readymade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

Tree of Jesse Iconography in Northern Europe in the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Centuries

Tree of Jesse Iconography in Northern Europe in the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Centuries

This book is the first detailed investigation to focus on the late medieval use of Tree of Jesse imagery traditionally a representation of the genealogical tree of Christ. In northern Europe from the mid-fifteenth to the early sixteenth centuries it could be found across a wide range of media. Yet as this book vividly illustrates it had evolved beyond a simple genealogy into something more complex which could be modified to satisfy specific religious requirements. It was also able to function on a more temporal level reflecting not only a clerical preoccupation with a sense of communal identity but a more general interest in displaying a family’s heritage continuity and/or social status. It is this dynamic and polyvalent element that makes the subject so fascinating. | Tree of Jesse Iconography in Northern Europe in the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Centuries

Love Under the Skin Interracial Marriages in the American South and France

Love Under the Skin Interracial Marriages in the American South and France

The rising visibility of interracial couples calls for increased attention to the overlapping of culture and race in safe spaces centered on small-group dynamics or in public spaces where peoples of African descent are under the public gaze. This comparative study seeks to de-center the U. S-centered viewpoint common to much of the literature on black/white relations. Based on nine years of fieldwork in the American South and in France Coquet shows many unexpected parallels between the two societies. Gendered perceptions of cultural authenticity and sexual ethics are a guiding thread being inseparable from the historical and political contingencies (re-)defining acceptable forms of dating marrying and parenting among cis-heterosexual couples in both societies. Her account emphasizes resilience and agency as couples seek to protect themselves and their children while their extended or symbolic kinship networks help white partners acknowledge the existence of racial privilege. | Love Under the Skin Interracial Marriages in the American South and France

The Psychology of Political Communication Politicians Under the Microscope

The Psychology of Political Communication Politicians Under the Microscope

Contemporary politics is mass-communication politics. Politicians are not only seen and heard they are seen and heard in close-up through television appearances speeches interviews and on social media. In this book the authors analyse the ways in which politicians communicate with each other the media and the electorate; they also discuss the implications of contemporary political discourse on the democratic process as a whole. Politicians in interviews are typically castigated for their evasiveness. However microanalytic research shows that there is more to political discourse than this apparent ambiguity. This book reveals how equivocation interruptions and personal antagonism can offer valuable insights into a politician’s communicative style. The authors review their empirical research not only on political interviews but also on speeches parliamentary debates and political journalism. Further insights include how political speakers interact with their audiences how party leaders engage in adversarial discourse at PMQs and how the spoken messages of politicians can be affected by modern journalistic editing techniques. Thereby this research generates greater awareness of communicative practices in a diverse range of political contexts. While the interviews and parliamentary debates analysed pertain to UK politics the speeches also draw on the USA and European and Far Eastern nations. This engaging book is a fascinating resource for students and academics in psychology politics communication and other related disciplines such as sociology and linguistics. The research is also extremely relevant to policy makers and practitioners in politics and political journalism. | The Psychology of Political Communication Politicians Under the Microscope

Vagrancy in Law and Practice under the Old Poor Law

Vagrancy in Law and Practice under the Old Poor Law

In eighteenth-century England the law surrounding vagrancy was complicated and practice stood in complex relationship to law. Drawing on extensive archival research and in-depth study of both statute law and local administrative records this book examines the complexities of vagrancy law and the realities of its practice during the long eighteenth century. It shows how settlement law and poor law provision failed to address both the changing demographic situation and the impact of wars leaving significant numbers without support. Focusing on the 1744 Vagrant Act the study traces how and why the law evolved from 1700 when vagrancy was first made a county charge and what changes followed in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. It explores how vagrancy law was used and to what effect how it was extended and adapted to plug gaps in both poor law provision and in dealing with petty crime not covered by statute law and how law and practice intersected with social reality. Using the Quarter Sessions records of six counties: Westmorland Cambridgeshire Dorset Hampshire Lancashire and Middlesex the book is able to give the first account of vagrancy law in provincial England rather than focusing on metropolitan areas thus also demonstrating the tensions between parishes justices and counties over the use of law and its financial impact. By detailed reference to cases of individual vagrants the book also shows what sorts of people were dealt with under vagrancy law what happened to them and how and why the justices discriminated between the unfortunate and the criminal elements among them. This analysis reveals the principal causes of the vagrancy problems and the misfit between the law and social reality with particular emphasis on the impact of wars and immigration from Ireland and Scotland. As the first full-length study of vagrancy law and practice in the eighteenth century this book will constitute an essential item in any collection of books on the old poor law. | Vagrancy in Law and Practice under the Old Poor Law
