Book Description
This publication considers how cinema, as a major modern art form, has covered topics relating to the Holocaust in documentaries and fiction, historical reconstructions and more symbolic films, focusing on the question of realism in ethical and artistic terms. It explores a range of issues, including whether cinema is an appropriate method for informing people about the Holocaust compared to other media such as CD-ROMs, video or archive collections; whether it is possible to inform and appeal to the emotions without being explicit; and how the medium can nurture greater sensitivity among increasingly younger audiences which have been inured by the many images of violence conveyed in the media. Films discussed include Schindler's List, Life is Beautiful, The Pianist, Sophie's Choice, Shoah, Au revoir les enfants, The Great Dictator and To Be or Not to Be.
Sogdian Traders
Author: Étienne de la VaissièrePublisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9047406990
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 432
Book Description
The Sogdian Traders were the main go-between of Central Asia from the fifth to the eighth century. From their towns of Samarkand, Bukhara, or Tashkent, their diaspora is attested by texts, inscriptions or archaeology in all the major countries of Asia (India, China, Iran, Turkish Steppe, but also Byzantium). This survey for the first time brings together all the data on their trade, from the beginning, a small-scale trade in the first century BC up to its end in the tenth century. It should interest all the specialists of Ancient and Medieval Asia (including specialists of Sinology, Islamic Studies, Iranology, Turkology and Indology) but also specialists of Medieval Economic History.

Book Description
The Burrell Collection in Glasgow houses more than twenty paintings, pastels, and drawings by Edgar Degas (1834-1917) that include his most recognisable motifs: ballet dancers, bathers, jockeys, and women at work. Together with a selection of the National Gallery's oils and pastels, they represent every stage of Degas's career. The authors show how the immediacy of these works is enhanced by the artist's energetic technique. These are not so much spontaneous sketches as daring experiments in form and color. Essays explore Degas's innovative use of pastels; his career and the ongoing critical assessment of his art; and the life and milieu of his contemporary Sir William Burrell, the wealthy Scottish shipping magnate and philanthropist, for whom forming this impressive collection of Degas's works was an unusual foray into contemporary art.

Category : China
Languages : fr
Pages : 468
Book Description
Les Sogdiens en Chine ne furent pas seulement ces grands marchands internationaux, tels que les sources unanimes les décrivent, qui assurèrent pendant plusieurs siècles les échanges commerciaux entre la Chine et l'Asie centrale ; ces iranophones, venus de Samarcande ou Boukhara comme agriculteurs, soldats, artisans, diplomates ou traducteurs, participèrent également â tous les aspects de la vie sociale, artistique, économique et politique des grandes villes de Chine du Nord du Ve au VIIIe siècle. Cet ouvrage utilise l'ensemble des découvertes les plus récentes, aussi bien archéologiques que textuelles, pour proposer un large panorama de l'histoire de ces communautés influentes. Il regroupe 21 communications d'auteurs chinois, occidentaux et japonais.
