Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject American Studies - Literature, grade: 2, University of Bamberg, language: English, abstract: In this essay the author analyzes Kurt Vonnegut's novel 'Slaughter-House Five'. The essay will examine both its form and content and analyzes how these components are willingly put in a contradictory relationship and how Vonnegut unexpectedly relies on ironic devices in order to describe the horrible conditions of the American soldiers in Germany. After that, the author argues how the character of Billy Pilgrim, with his anti-heroic aptitude, serves as a means of criticism to the indifference and the rampant materialism getting hold of the American society and how Billy purports an unconventional (and for some aspects controversial) life philosophy that still wants to bring about a deeper reflection on the responsibility of the individual in the process of social change.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Literature - Basics, grade: 1, National University of Ireland, Galway, language: English, abstract: 'The Trilogie des Wiedersehens' is surely a controversial play: there is no real plot but just a series of characters brought together into the space of an art exhibition. The audience is put in a critical position as they are asked to observe the attitude of the characters towards the works of art on stage as well as to analyze their own attitude towards the play. Taking the title given to the exhibition as a starting point, the main question I want to address is how the Trilogie depicts the effects of capitalism on the way art is experienced by the individual and how the function of the artist has changed with the emergence of a profit-centered society. Confronting the Trilogie with Steiner's text Real Presences, I will see how the capitalistic process of commodification of reality can be understood in terms of the logic of the secondary, which aims at hampering the directness of art and at stifling its communicative power. In the light of these considerations I will also try to delineate the two opposite options that the play suggests about the development of art in a capitalistic society: either it succumbs to being objectified and turned into intellectual merchandise, or it becomes a means through which the self can transcend his individuality and thus reach a spiritual and moral liberation. Eventually, taking into account Theodor Adorno's theories about cultural industry, I will try to analyze how some characters in the play seem to warn against the danger, in a society dominated by mechanized production, for the subject to be alienated from their own subjectivity.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Literature - General, grade: 1, University of Bamberg, course: Postcolonial Literature, language: English, abstract: With the use of the word 'grotesque' a whole range of different meanings is called into question. The cultural history of this word has crossed centuries, adopting for each epoch a different nuance of significance, so that it is virtually impossible to establish fixed, universal attributes to it. The very first examples of grotesques were the 'bizarre wall paintings' found in Nero's Domus Aurea, which represented 'elaborate knots and festoons of floral decoration' and 'designs oddly transforming into snakes, satyrs [and] mythological animals' (Clark). The essence of this art was later developed according to different interpretations, being associated to caricature and caprices in the seventeenth century and to horror and repulsion in the nineteenth century (Connelly). It is therefore important to consider that the grotesque is to be understood primarily as a cultural and social phenomenon, constantly changeable and subjected to the spirit of the times.…

Brossura. Condizione: new. Atti del convegno, Lausanne, 10 dicembre - 11 dicembre 2004.A cura di S. Romano e Enckell Julliard J.Testo Italiano e Francese.Roma, 2007; br., pp. 440, ill. b/n, cm 17x24.(I Libri di Viella. Arte). Nei decenni finali dell'XI secolo e all'inizio del successivo le arti figurative conoscono a Roma un momento di grande fioritura, che è stato interpretato come uno straordinario fenomeno di propaganda da parte della Chiesa riformata e rinnovata. Le immagini, secondo la secolare e resistentissima tradizione della Chiesa romana, sono strumento di primaria importanza in questa accresciuta politica di comunicazione. Attraverso l'esame di episodi nodali - relativi alla liturgia, alla 'teoria dell'arte", all'epigrafia, alla scultura, e naturalmente alla pittura a mosaico e a fresco -, nel volume si delinea un ritratto della città papale negli anni ancora 'oscuri" attorno alla metà dell'XI secolo, al tempo delle aspre lotte tra papi e antipapi; in quelli del pontificato di Gregorio VII, che alla Riforma ha prestato il nome; e infine - iniziato il nuovo secolo - nel momento della 'Roma trionfante", quando il successo del partito papale genera un'ondata di linguaggio raffinatamente antiquario.
