Humanities & Social SciencesFebruary 2017Scottishness and Irishness in New Zealand since 1840
by Angela McCarthy, Andrew Thompson, John M. MacKenzie
This book examines the distinctive aspects that insiders and outsiders perceived as characteristic of Irish and Scottish ethnic identities in New Zealand. When, how, and why did Irish and Scots identify themselves and others in ethnic terms? What characteristics did the Irish and the Scots attribute to themselves and what traits did others assign to them? Did these traits change over time and if so how? Contemporary interest surrounding issues of ethnic identities is vibrant. In countries such as New Zealand, descendants of European settlers are seeking their ethnic origins, spurred on in part by factors such as an ongoing interest in indigenous genealogies, the burgeoning appeal of family history societies, and the booming financial benefits of marketing ethnicities abroad. This fascinating book will appeal to scholars and students of the history of empire and the construction of identity in settler communities, as well as those interested in the history of New Zealand.

The ArtsDecember 2007J. M. W. Turner
The making of a modern artist
by Sam Smiles, Alan Rutter
Alone of his contemporaries, J.M.W. Turner is commonly held to have prefigured modern painting, as signalled in the existence of The Turner Prize for contemporary art. Our celebration of his achievement is very different to what Victorian critics made of his art. This book shows how Turner was reinvented to become the artist we recognise today. On Turner's death in 1851 he was already known as an adventurous, even baffling, painter. But when the Court of Chancery decreed that the contents of his studio should be given to the nation, another side of his art was revealed that effected a wholescale change in his reputation. This book acts as a guide to the reactions of art writers and curators from the 1850s to the 1960s as they attempted to come to terms with his work. It documents how Turner was interpreted and how his work was displayed in Britain, in Europe and in North America, concentrating on the ways in which his artistic identity was manipulated by art writers, by curators at the Tate and by designers of exhibitions for the British Council and other bodies. ;

March 1977Wanderungen mit Robert Walser
by Carl Seelig, Carl-Seelig-Stiftung, Elio Fröhlich
Carl Seeligs Aufzeichnungen seiner Wanderungen mit Robert Walser haben in der Literatur nicht ihresgleichen. Sie entwerfen das Porträt eines Verstummten, eines Dichters, der, wie Hölderlin, »taktvoll« genug war, dem Leben zu entsagen. Nach seinem 50.Geburtstag hörte Walser mit Schreiben auf und gab sich mit dem Leben eines Irrenhauspatienten zufrieden. Carl Seelig, der ihm und seinem zu scheinbarer Dauer-Erfolglosigkeit verurteilten Werk helfen möchte, besucht Walser in der Anstalt, zwanzig Jahre ist ihnen »beschieden, spazierenzugehen«.
