        Träume

        Aufzeichnungen 1928-1985

        by Meret Oppenheim, Christiane Meyer-Thoss, Christiane Meyer-Thoss

        Statt Tagebuch zu führen protokolliert Meret Oppenheim in allen Lebensabschnitten ihre Träume. Bei der Niederschrift vermeidet sie jede Poetisierung. Ihr Blick ist auf die Wirklichkeit, das Ereignis, die Normalität des Traums gerichtet. In dieser bewußten Zurückhaltung ist ein künstlerisches Credo enthalten; die eigentliche Leistung sieht die Künstlerin in Disziplin und Intensität ihrer Aufnahmebereitschaft. Die Traumtechniken des Kopierens, Imitierens, der Mimikry, die im Traum am Werk sind, wendet sie auf allen Arbeitsfeldern an. Ebenso wie die Gedichte (2002) können die Traumaufzeichnungen den Blick auf die traumanalogen, kinematographischen Verfahren ihrer Arbeit an den Objekten (»Pelztasse«) und Bildern lenken. Erweiterte Neuausgabe des 1986 im Verlag Gachnang & Springer erschienenen Bandes; mit einem neuen Nachwort der Herausgeberin.

        Surrealist women artists and mental illness

        by Jenny Anger

        Female mental illness has been a prominent and complicated theme in surrealist cultural traditions, including the idealization of women with mental illness in works such as André Breton's Nadja (1928). Art historians have examined this tendency before, but to date there has been no comprehensive study of the lived reality of women surrealist artists with mental illness. How did women's experience and their work intersect with this romanticized vision? Was the masculine dream of feminized, "mad" genius prohibitive or productive for these women artists? After establishing the ideological field within which these women worked, the book turns to case studies of well-known and some lesser-known artists, including Ángeles Santos, Leonora Carrington, Dora Maar, Claude Cahun, Frida Kahlo, Meret Oppenheim, Sonja Sekula, and Unica Zürn. This collection of essays contains a wide range of responses, revealing surrealism's generative as well as restrictive force.

        In der Sache J. Robert Oppenheimer

        Ein szenischer Bericht

        by Heinar Kipphardt

        Eine historische Begebenheit liegt diesem szenischen Bericht zu Grunde: der Fall Oppenheimer. Am 12. April 1954 begann in Washington die Untersuchung gegen den Physiker und langjährigen Leiter der amerikanischen Atomforschung J. Robert Oppenheimer. Der Untersuchungsausschuß, von der Atomenergiekommission der USA eingesetzt, sollte prüfen, ob sich der Wissenschaftler der Regierung seines Landes gegenüber loyal verhalten habe. Das drei Wochen währende Verhör, Beispiel und Ausdruck des Konflikts zwischen Individuum und Gesellschaft, Wissenschaft und Staat, zählt zu den denkwürdigen Ereignissen der Zeitgeschichte.

        What the dresses know

        A women's history of modernism told through clothes

        by Sophie Oliver

        An exciting new history of modernism that re-examines the movement through some of its most brilliant female artists. Pioneering women were at the heart of the movement known as modernism. In What the dresses know, Sophie Oliver offers a new account of their radical experiments and extraordinary lives, told through the clothes they made and wore. From a dress Vanessa Bell rescued from the London Blitz to Frida Kahlo's huipiles and a waistcoat embroidered for Gertrude Stein by Alice B. Toklas, these special objects tell a story of artists seeking transformation. But getting dressed is rarely straightforward. Modernist women used clothes to think through the contradictions of the modern world: the inequalities of industrialisation, the terrible conformities demanded by fascism and racism and the call of feminists, socialists and avant-gardists to act differently and take up new forms of art. What the dresses know is an exhilarating account of women's bold attempts to make history during years of tumultuous change. A distinctive new voice in cultural criticism, Sophie Oliver uses clothes to explore the challenges modernist women faced - and to understand her own impulses in writing about them.

        Beirut. Fragments of a metropolis

        by Meret Michel

        The tragic history of a cosmopolitan city: Beirut and the fate of LebanonOn August 4, 2020, the port of Beirut is shaken by a massive explosion that was to have an impact on the entire city: Hundreds of thousands of houses are destroyed, more than 200 people killed and thousands injured. This was not to be the first and last catastrophe for a country shaken by multiple crises. In this book, ten people tell their stories from their city - a city that has been the hub of the Middle East region for many decades. They live in the once glamorous district of Hamra or in the south of the city, which is controlled by Hezbollah. They are devout Muslims or atheists, come from the upper classes or have been struggling to survive for a long time.

        Beveridge and Voluntary Action in Britain and the Wider British World

        by Melanie Oppenheimer, Nicholas Deakin

        The relationship between the state and the voluntary sector has changed significantly since 1948 when Beveridge's major report, Voluntary Action, was first published. Sixty years later, a group of historians analyse and reassess the impact of Beveridge's ideas about voluntary action for social advance in this timely volume. Using examples from the UK, Australasia and Canada, this book clearly articulates the importance and significance of Beveridge's ideas on voluntary action within an international context. With the emphasis of governments on the importance of the voluntary or 'third sector' and the development of policies and practices to enhance social capital, build civil society and engage communities, this book will be invaluable for those interested in how the third sector has evolved over time. It will be of interest to historians, social policy researchers, political theorists, economists and educationalists. ;
