Bøger om Postmodernisme

Der er i dag ingen tvivl om, at den nu afdøde franske filosof Jean-François Lyotard på godt og ondt er uløseligt knyttet til og identificeret med begrebet 'det postmoderne', samt at dette begreb - ligeledes på godt og ondt - har bevæget sig fra human- og samfundsvidenskabelige diskussioner og ind i dagligsproget. Helt centralt i disse to bevægelser står Lyotards bog fra 1979 Viden og det postmoderne samfund. Men hvordan blev Lyotards mest kendte bog læst, diskuteret og kritiseret i sin umiddelbare samtid? Det er emnet for Lyotard og det postmoderne samfund. Elementer til en receptionshistorie. Bogen præsenterer i kort og overskuelig form de væsentligste positioner i 1980ernes human- og samfundsvidenskabelige diskussioner af Lyotards bog i henholdsvis Danmark, Frankrig og hos Lyotard selv. Således præsenteres de franske teoretikere Gilles Lipovetsky, Alain Badiou, Michel Foucault, Jacques Bouveresse samt Luc Ferry og Alain Renaut, mens der fra Danmark bl.a. optræder Hans-Jørgen Schanz, Johan Fjord Jensen og Ole Thyssen.

Man mærker tydeligt, at dette er personlige digte og fortællinger, der stammer fra en barndom præget af svigt og en opvækst i det vestjyske. Når begivenheder i Danmark og verden samt personlige oplevelser er med til at forme synspunkter.Bogen udforsker en række temaer, lige fra kærlighed, angst, sygdom og seksualitet til venskaber, forelskelser, og ikke mindst håb. Disse emner bliver fortalt ærligt og uden filter, så læseren får en direkte indlevelse i forfatterens oplevelser. Når vi følger hans selvudvikling fra barn til voksen, tages læseren med på en rejse fra Esbjerg til Aarhus og videre ud i Europa.Bogen formår uden tvivl at berøre, men den byder også på humor. Med digte og fortællinger, der skaber eftertanke, bliver den ikke blot bevægende, men også interessant og inspirerende. Det er derfor ikke tilfældigt, at K. D. Holmborgs debutbog bærer titlen: Lys i mørket

Set within a speculative geography that is and is not Utah's past, present, and future, the panoramic collage of stories and flash fictions in Salt Folk explore the eco-fabulist environs of the American West at the intersections of history and myth. The Yeti, recently deported from the Himalayas, finds himself in a Mormon retirement community. A glacier grows in the toxic valley left behind by the evaporated Great Salt Lake. A librarian collects the residue of a decayed rainbow on the outskirts of Salt Lake City. Melancholically absurd, the salty women and foolhardy men in Ryan Habermeyer's reimagined American West confront catastrophes large and small, magical and mundane, with grotesque optimism and quixotic tenderness.

Die Fotoserien "Connoisseurs & Academies" von Karen Knorr lösen ein Kaleidoskop von Erinnerungen aus: Die zwischen 1986 und 2005 mit einer analogen Kamera aufgenommenen Bilder lassen uns in die komplexe Welt der Geschichte von Museen und Herrenhäusern, von Objekten, Gemälden und Kennerschaft sowie von Akademien eintauchen. DieVerwendung von Tieren als allegorisches Motiv ist heute fester Bestandteil von Knorrs Praxis, doch tauchen sie erstmals in "Connoisseurs" auf, wo ein Schimpanse zum Genius of the Place wird.Knorrs (* 1954) Werke befinden sich unter anderem in den Sammlungen der Tate und des Victoria & Albert Museum, London, des Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris und des Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, des SFMOMA, San Francisco, des National Museum of Modern Art, Kyoto, und des Museum of Art and Photography (MAP) in Bangalore.

Über das Buch: Während der Vor- und Nachbereitungsphase der legendären Bücherei-Lesung "POESIEPANDEMIE - LYRIK LEBT WEITER!" (www.LyrikLebt.de) entstanden in einem einzigartigen Schaffensrausch derart viele extrem "ungesunde" lyrische Manifeste, dass es für 2023 nicht beim Gedichtband "SYMPTOMFREI OFFLINE" bleiben konnte. Seit 2014 erschienen bislang über 30 Publikationen im BoD-Verlag. Das vorliegende Buch zeugt von der gnadenlosen Ehrlichkeit einer brutalen Neuropoesie, die sich über weit mehr empört und für viel mehr engagiert als es sowohl dem klassischen Neurotiker als auch dem klimafizierten Demonstranten bewusst ist: Schockierende Wahrheiten, die im literarischen Underground kursieren und die normalen Bestseller als Mängelexemplare enttarnen! Alles 100% Erstveröffentlichungen, u.a. vom satirischen "PAMPHLET ZUR RETTUNG DER KULTURÄMTER" und dem Nobelpreis-kritischen Langgedicht "GLASFASERLYRIK", für das De Toys eigentlich den Nobelpreis verdient hätte! Beide Texte wurden vom Autor bereits für seine YouTube-Playlist eingesprochen, siehe www.Lyrikperformance.de / TEXTBEISPIEL: ...das wäre wahrscheinlich ein kleines wunder zu viel für den deutschen literaturbetrieb und fällt dann unter die kategorie "gesunde gedichte" die nicht im lyrikregal da hinten in der ecke stehen sondern da vorne am ausgang auf den großen tischen ja ja genau da wo sich die geilen kunstkalender lebensratgeber thematischen anthologien sexy yogastile skandalbiografien von bundeskanzler:innen und bestsellerromane von fußballlegenden befinden... aus: "SPRACHFETISCHISMUS" (De Toys, 24.+30.4.2023)

In der Postmoderne zeichnen sich Konflikte der Gegenwart, vom Rechtspopulismus bis zur Identitätspolitik, bereits ab. Spektakuläre Beispiele aus Design, Architektur, Kino, Pop, Philosophie, Kunst und Literatur erzählen vom Beginn der Informationsgesellschaft, von der Entfesselung der Finanzmärkte, von Subkulturen, Disco, Punk, Techno-Pop, Schulterpolstern und Memphis-Möbeln.1967 begann unsere Gegenwart: Die Moderne, die glaubte, alles sortieren zu können mit gleichen Häusern, Möbeln und Rechten für alle, wurde verabschiedet, und aus ihren Ruinen entstand eine bizarre, exzentrische Welt. Architekt*innen erklärten den Vergnügungspark zur idealen Stadt, Designer*innen befreiten sich vom guten Geschmack, Selbstverwirklichung trat an die Stelle der Systemkämpfe, und neue Medien synchronisierten den Globus. Der Band ist ein Standardwerk zur Postmoderne, opulent und breit angelegt in Bildern und Texten verschiedener Disziplinen.Künstler*innen:Aldo Rossi, Alessandro Mendini, Andy Warhol, Arata Isozaki, Charles Jencks, Charles Moore, Coop Himmelb(l)au, David Byrne, David Hockney, David Lynch, Denise Scott Brown, Donald Barthelme, Donna Haraway, Ed Ruscha, Ettore Sottsass, Félix Guattari, Frank Gehry, Frederic Jameson, Gaetano Pesce, General Idea, Gilles Deleuze, Gustav Peichl, Hans Hollein, Harumi Yamaguchi, J.G.

Runoja eläinten oikeuksista, oikeudettomuudesta ja ihmisten tavasta kohdella eläimiä.

Presents a new multidisciplinary perspective on portraiture in the era of post-digital media As technological practices of the portrait have proliferated across the media ecosystem in recent years, this canonical genre of identity and representation has provoked a new wave of scholarly attention and artistic experimentation. This collection of essays explores the stakes of that seemingly anachronistic comeback. It reframes portraiture as a set of cultural techniques for the dynamic performance of subjects entangled in specific medial configurations. Tracking the portrait across a wide range of media - literature, drawings, paintings, grave stelae, films, gallery installations, contemporary music videos, deep fakes, social media, video games and immersive VR interfaces - the contributors interrogate and transform persistent metaphysical and anthropocentric assumptions inherited from traditional notions of portraiture. Abraham Geil is Senior Lecturer in the Media Studies Department at the University of Amsterdam. Tomás Jirsa is Associate Professor of Literary Studies in the Department of Theatre and Film Studies at Palacký University Olomouc.

Dare experiments! The book documents the teaching philosophy developed at the chair of experimental design by Frank Stepper and his team at the University of Kassel. The approach places an emphasis on fostering and developing aesthetic and formal imagination through experimentation. Thinking the "impossible" helps to formulate architectural concepts that progress beyond predictable causalities and functional constraints. For the emergence of innovative designs and novel construction typologies analogue models are augmented with computational strategies and digital fabrication methods. 20 Years of teaching Experimental Architecture, from introductory to thesis level projects Experimental videos with QR code links With contributions by Hitoshi Abe, Marie Therese Harnancourt-Fuchs, Steffanie Hennecke and others

On the occasion of its 60-year anniversary, CIMAM, the International Committee for Museums and Collections of Modern Art, its directors, and curators publish Museums from the Inside. From Suzanne Pagé and Rudi Fuchs, to David Elliott, Toshio Hara, Maria de Corral, Ken Lum to Manolo Borja-Villel and Patricia Phelps de Cisneros, this publication contains more than twenty interviews giving an insider's look at the 60 years in which modern art changed to post-modern art, and the term contemporary art, in turn, began to look almost obsolete.Following a historical introduction, looking back at fierce debates and controversies, a selection of important texts written since 2005 on decolonization, on Arte Útil, and on indigenous art gives insight into more recent fields of research.

The general public's image of Mondrian is of a serious man in a suit and tie with a reserved, rather aloof look. It is the same group of some ten photographs that shaped this image over time, although there are around 400 known photographs of the artist and his studios that provide a far more balanced and livelier image of Mondrian.This gorgeous book is not a biography, but rather a visual and emotional reference work for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the world of this extraordinarily modern artist. The studios in Amsterdam, Paris, and New York are works of art themselves, as fascinating as the guests in these rooms. There are snapshots showing his private life, taken during journeys or visits, photographs of vernissages and dinners as well as formal portraits that he uses to promote the image of a serious, uncompromising artist.Detailed captions and richly illustrated essays on the significance of photography in the context of Mondrian's work make this book an extraordinary document of his time.PIET MONDRIAN (1872-1944) was one of the pioneers of abstract art. Hailing from a strict Calvinist family, the artist became famous for his compositions of black lines and rectangular fields in primary colors, but his early work was influenced by 19th century Dutch landscape painting.

Chisinau, today the capital and largest city of the Republic of Moldova, has undergone tumultuous changes under the successive political regimes that marked the twentieth century. Once part of the territory seized by the Russian Empire, it was integrated into the Romanian Kingdom during the interwar period, before being annexed by the USSR, like all of Bessarabia, and radically transformed into a socialist city.This guide focuses on the latter period. The distinct urbanistic and architectural tendencies after the Second World War are reflected in the five segments of the book: the Stalinist Empire, Soviet Modernism, Postmodernism, Soviet Brutalism, and the Industrial City. Each reflects the essential Soviet mandate to build not only a new city, but also a new society.In addition to photographic documentation and critical analysis of socialist architecture, the guide also includes essays on Chisinau's development between 1945 and 1989, devoted among other things to the city's cinemas and life in 'microraions'.

(please scroll down for english version)It's All One Song versammelt Architekturfotografien des Italienischen Fotografen Marco Zanta die im Laufe der letzten Jahrzehnte auf seinen Reisen durch Europa, die USA, Asien und Afrika entstanden. In einer nur scheinbar zusammenhangslosen Sequenz springen die Bilder von Kontinent zu Kontinent, von Innen- zu Außenraum, von Epoche zu Epoche, von der Postmoderne zu marode vor sich hin bröckelndem Baubestand und wieder zurück zu Beton, Stahl und Glas gewordenem urbanen Größenwahn. Im stetig wechselnden Rhythmus der oft kaum sichtbar ineinander übergehenden Bilder, offenbaren sich so Seite für Seite Länder- und kulturübergreifende Motive, Themen und urbane Topografien. In diesem »Song«, den Zanta anstimmt, verschmelzen die Städte bei der Betrachtung zu einem einzigen Bewusstseinstrom, einem globalen Raum, von verheißungsvoller Utopie bis zum spätkapitalistischen Albtraum.Marco Zanta (*1962) ist einer der bekanntesten Architekturfotografen Italiens. Seit den 1980er Jahren untersucht er, wie der urbane und industrielle Raum fotografisch abgebildet werden kann. Daneben arbeitet er auch für renommierte Architekturbüros wie John Pawson Studio, Afra e Tobia Scarpa und Tadao Ando. Zanta nahm an mehreren Ausgaben der Biennale Venedig teil, seine Werke wurden weltweit institutionell ausgestellt und sind in öffentlichen und privaten Sammlungen vertreten.It's All One Song brings together architectural photographs by Italian photographer Marco Zanta taken during his travels through Europe, the USA, Asia and Africa over the course of the last decades. In a seemingly random sequence, the images jump from continent to continent, from interior to exterior spaces, from era to era, from postmodernism to dilapidated buildings and back again to urban megalomania made out of concrete, steel and glass. In the constantly changing rhythm of images merging subtly into one another, transnational and transcultural motifs, themes, and urban topographies are revealed page after page. In this "song" that Zanta invokes, the cities depicted merge into a single stream of consciousness, a global space that ranges from promising utopia to late capitalist nightmare.Marco Zanta (*1962) is one of Italy's best-known architectural photographers. Since the 1980s he has been exploring how urban and industrial space can be depicted photographically. In addition he has also worked for renowned architectural firms such as John Pawson Studio, Afra e Tobia Scarpa and Tadao Ando. Zanta has participated in several editions of the Venice Biennale. His works have been exhibited institutionally worldwide and are represented in numerous public and private collections.

A design monograph on architect Frank Gehry. Contains a historical-critical essay discussing the life and work of Gehry, followed by an illustrated appreciation of his work.

Using artist statements, theoretical writings, statistical data, historical analysis and insider testimony, British art critic Alexander Adams examines the origins, aims and spread of artivism (activism through art). His findings suggest the perception of artivism as a grassroots humanitarian movement could not be more misleading.

A radical new history of a dangerous idea

50 years Learning from Las Vegas From the bustle of Johannesburg to the neon of Las Vegas, Denise Scott Brown's advocacy for "messy vitality" has transformed the way we look at the urban landscape. Unconventional, eloquent, and with a profound sociopolitical message, Scott Brown is one of our era's most influential thinkers on architecture and urbanism. The anthology Denise Scott Brown. In Other Eyes - marking the 50th anniversary of the seminal treatise Learning from Las Vegas - paints a portrait of Scott Brown as seen through the eyes of leading architectural historians and practitioners. It features new scholarship on her education on three continents, her multidisciplinary teaching, and her use of urban patterns and forces as tools for architectural design - a practice documented in a new comment by Scott Brown, noting that sometimes "1+1>2." With contributions by Mary McLeod, Joan Ockman, Sylvia Lavin, Stanislaus von Moos, Jacques Herzog, Robin Middleton, and Denise Scott Brown, among others A comprehensive portrait of one of contemporary architecture's most significant personalities
