Book Description
Du site de l'éd.: The displays were presented in amusement parks, zoological gardens and even at Munich's Oktoberfest beer festival. The viewers could travel "around the world for fifty Pfennig" and experience "typical" Samoan culture in the form of dances, music and weapon performances. This shaped the ways in which people saw (and continue to see) foreign cultures. This beautifully illustrated volume also explores the echoes of the Völkerschauen to be found in works of art created during the German Empire, including by the Brücke (Bridge) artists based in Dresden and Erich Heckel's drypoint Samoanischer Tanz (Samoan Dance), 1910; and traces German and Samoan interests.

Unmaking Love
Author: Ashley T. Shelden
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 0231543158
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
The contemporary novel does more than revise our conception of love—it explodes it, queers it, and makes it unrecognizable. Rather than providing union, connection, and completion, love in contemporary fiction destroys the possibility of unity, harbors negativity, and foregrounds difference. Comparing contemporary and modernist depictions of love to delineate critical continuities and innovations, Unmaking Love locates queerness in the novelistic strategies of Ian McEwan, Zadie Smith, Hanif Kureshi, Alan Hollinghurst, and Hari Kunzru. In their work, "queer love" becomes more than shorthand for sexual identity. It comes to embody thwarted expectations, disarticulated organization, and unnerving multiplicity. In queer love, social forms are deformed, affective bonds do not bind, and social structures threaten to come undone. Unmaking Love draws on psychoanalysis and gender and sexuality studies to read love's role in contemporary literature and its relation to queer negativity.

The Summons of Love
Author: Mari Ruti
Publisher: Columbia University Press

Pages : 194
Book Description
We are conditioned to think love's purpose is to heal wounds, make us happy, and give our lives meaning. When the opposite occurs, and love causes us to feel fractured, disenchanted, and full of existential turmoil, our suffering is compounded by the sense that love has failed us, or that we've failed to experience what so many others effortlessly enjoy.In this eloquently argued, psychologically-informed book, Mari Ruti portrays love as a much more complex, multifaceted phenomenon prompting us to access the depths of human existence. Love's ruptures are as important as its triumph.
