The ArtsSeptember 2021Building reputations
Architecture and the artisan, 1750–1830
by Conor Lucey
Taking a cue from revisionist scholarship on early modern vernacular architectures and their relationship to the classical canon, this book rehabilitates the reputations of a representative if misunderstood building typology - the eighteenth-century brick terraced house - and the artisan communities of bricklayers, carpenters and plasterers responsible for its design and construction. Opening with a cultural history of the building tradesman in terms of his reception within contemporary architectural discourse, chapters consider the design, decoration and marketing of the town house in the principal cities of the eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century British Atlantic world. The book is essential reading for students and scholars of the history of architectural design and interior decoration specifically, and of eighteenth-century society and culture generally.

September 2016The Pervert’s Guide to Ideology
Präsentiert von Slavoj Žižek
by Slavoj Žižek, Sophie Fiennes
In John Carpenters Science-Fiction-Klassiker Sie leben findet der Protagonist eine Schachtel mit Sonnenbrillen. Als er eine davon aufsetzt, sieht er die »wahre« Botschaft hinter Plakaten, Anzeigen und Leuchtreklamen. »Gehorcht«, steht da nun. Und auf der Dollar-Note heißt es: »Ich bin Dein Gott.« Ideologie – laut Marx ist sie das »falsche Bewusstsein«. Und die Traumfabrik Hollywood ist das Herz der Bewusstseinsindustrie. In Sophie Fiennes' Film setzt sich Slavoj Žižek stellvertretend für uns alle die ideologiekritische Röntgenbrille auf. Mit vollem Körpereinsatz – und mitunter in den Originalkulissen – durchleuchtet er Propagandafilme, Werbespots und Kinoklassiker wie Titanic, Der weiße Hai und Taxi Driver auf ihren ideologischen Gehalt.

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2006Gentry culture in late-medieval England
by Raluca Radulescu, Steve Rigby, Alison Truelove
Essays in this fascinating and important collection examine the lifestyles and attitudes of the gentry in late medieval England. They consider the emergence of the gentry as a group distinct from the nobility, and explore the various available routes to gentility. Through surveys of the gentry's military background, administrative and political roles, social behaviour, and education, the reader is provided with an overview of how the group's culture evolved, and how it was disseminated. Studies of the gentry's literacy, creation and use of literature, cultural networks, religious activities and their experiences of music and the visual arts more directly address the practice and expression of this culture, exploring the extent to which the gentry's activities were different from those of the wider population. Joining the editors in contributing essays to this collection is an impressive array of eminent scholars, all specialists in their respective fields: Christine Carpenter, Peter Fleming, Maurice Keen, Philippa Maddern, Nicholas Orme, Tim Shaw, Thomas Tolley and Deborah Youngs. As a whole, the book offers a broad view of gentry culture that explores, reassesses, and sometimes even challenges the idea that members of the gentry cultivated their own distinctive cultural identity. It will appeal to students looking for a comprehensive introduction to late medieval gentry culture, as well as to researchers interested in gentry studies more generally. ;
