Jean Sibelius

Jean Sibelius

Glenda Dawn Goss

CRC Press Inc
1997
sidottu
First Published in 1998. This book is a comprehensive annotated bibliography of writings about the life, times, and music of Jean Sibelius (1865-1957). Over 1,000 sources in 11 different languages are represented, from the earliest writings, which appeared in the 1890s, to studies published through 1994. Historical information and background are supplied together with an indication of the reliability of each source. Translations of studies into English, German, and French are noted, particularly important in a field where so many items are in Finnish and Swedish. Introductory essays to each section discuss Sibelius in different contexts: for example, vis--vis his contemporaries in Scandinavia, in relation to folk music, in reception history, and in the scholarly literature. Individual musical compositions have their own sections with bibliography. Comprehensive indexes cover the musical works, authors, and people and subjects mentioned.

Jean Toomer's Years with Gurdjieff

Jean Toomer's Years with Gurdjieff

Rudolph P. Byrd

University of Georgia Press
2010
pokkari
Jean Toomer (1894–1967) earned his place in American literary history with Cane (1923), a brilliant modernist collage of fiction, poetry, and drama about black life in rural Georgia and the urban North. Although Toomer continued to write prodigiously, his work went largely unpublished as he turned away from an exploration of his African American roots he had employed so powerfully in Cane. Rudolph P. Byrd examines the central reason behind Toomer’s literary decline: his enthusiasm for the theories of George Gurdjieff, a contemporary Russian psychologist, philosopher, and mystic. As Toomer’s work degenerated into propaganda for Gurdjieff’s theories on human development and spiritual reforms, publishers turned away. Yet, Byrd makes clear that the works Toomer wrote after 1923 do not represent the total break from his earlier concerns that critics have generally assumed. Examining both Cane and the body of writings Toomer produced after it, Byrd finds a distinct thematic unity in the Toomer canon—a consistent, optimistic faith in human possibility and wholeness.

Jean de Boschere ou le Chemin Du Retour

Jean de Boschere ou le Chemin Du Retour

Monique Fol

Peter Lang Publishing Inc
1987
sidottu
L'univers poetique de Jean de Boschere s'articule sur les memes themes que l'oeuvre en prose, themes suscites par des reseaux d'association communs. Il s'explique par l'alternance de deux fantasmes; d'une part, celui de la mere et celui de la soeur (etres inseparables), d'autre part, celui du pere, presence masquee (qui est un Autre). Poete, Jean de Boschere convertit la realite ou tenta de l'exorciser en cherchant a exprimer dans son oeuvre des visions d'un autre monde; la soeur et surtout la mere, figures devorees et devoreuses, s'irradierent dans le roman et le poeme. L'Obscur ecrivit parce qu'elles avaient laisse en lui des traces indelebiles, qui le motiverent a faire de l'ecriture un souvenir de leurs morts et une affirmation de sa vocation d'inventeur d'images bousculees, torturees, sublimes.

Jean Lemaire De Belges's Les Illustrations De Gaule Et Singularitez De Troye

Jean Lemaire De Belges's Les Illustrations De Gaule Et Singularitez De Troye

Judy Kem

Peter Lang Publishing Inc
1994
sidottu
This study compares Lemaire's treatment of the Trojan legend in his three-volume "Les Illustrations de Gaule et singularitez de Troye" (1511-1513) to this sources as well as to medieval French and Latin versions of the legend that he wished to correct. It also examines Lemaire's moral and political objectives in writing the work, as well as his view of history. It demonstrates that Lemaire reinterprets the past by offering complementary yet widely divergent moral lessons to his female and male readers while he attempts to influence the future by promoting European unity and a crusade against the Turks.

Jean Giono

Jean Giono

Ibrahim H. Badr

Peter Lang Publishing Inc
1998
sidottu
Jean Giono est un ecrivain bien connu, mais mal reconnu. Ce livre lui rend, en partie, ce qui lui est du. Il examine a fond la violence et ses manifestations dans son oeuvre, notamment les horreurs de la guerre et leurs retombees psychologiques, vecues et subies par le romancier. Cette etude originale, approfondie, demontre comment Giono, pacifiste, condamnant la violence, finit par l'adopter pour en faire un motif litteraire. C'est une analyse moderne, detaillee, des images dynamiques, frappantes, des symboles vivants, ambivalents, des mythes sous-jacents, toujours presents, qui s'expriment a travers des elements terrestres et des phenomenes cosmiques: elle revele une veritable esthetique de la violence chez Giono.

Jean D'Espagnet's The Summary of Physics Restored (Enchyridion Physicae Restitutae)

Jean D'Espagnet's The Summary of Physics Restored (Enchyridion Physicae Restitutae)

Garland Publishing Inc
1998
sidottu
First published together in Latin in 1623, these two tracts, Enchyridion Physicae Restitutae and Arcanum were at once recognized to be among the clearest descriptions ever written of the hermetic cosmology and the alchemical work. They were translated into English by two leading occultists, John Everard and Elias Ashmole, and the translations are printed together here for the first time. The introduction provides the fullest biographical notice ever written about d'Espagnet, a retired public official who published the works under strict anonymity. It also traces the influence these works had on later generations of practical alchemists like Eirenaeus Philalethes and spiritual alchemists like Thomas Vaughan. The commentary traces the d'Espagnet's extensive references to classical philosophy and poetry as well as to earlier works in alchemy. The introduction discusses the life, publications, and critical reception of d'Espagnet, and suggests why the book became required reading for members of an English hermetic society. Following the text itself, a set of annotations indicates variants in the Latin original and a French translation that Everard may have seen, notes obvious mistakes in the text, suggests alternate readings, expands d'Espagnet's marginal notes into meaningful citations, and identifies further sources when possible. This edition will be of interest to scholars of alchemy, early modern science, French literature, and English literature. An index of names follows the annotations.

Jean-Marie Tjibaou, Kanak Witness to the World

Jean-Marie Tjibaou, Kanak Witness to the World

Eric Waddell

University of Hawai'i Press
2008
sidottu
Jean-Marie Tjibaou is arguably the most important post-World War II Oceanic leader. His intellectual abilities, acute understanding of both Melanesian and European civilizations, stature as a statesman, commitment to nonviolence, and vision for Melanesia's potential contributions to the global community have all contributed to the creation of a remarkable and enduring legacy. Until now, no substantial English-language study has existed of Tjibaou, who was assassinated in 1989. This intellectual biography of the Kanak (New Caledonia) leader takes an essentially chronological approach to his life - from his beginnings in the mountains of northern New Caledonia and his studies at the Sorbonne to his leadership of the independence movement in the Territory.

Jean-Frederic Waldeck

Jean-Frederic Waldeck

Esther Pasztory

University of New Mexico Press
2011
sidottu
One of the first artists to visit the Mayan ruins at Palenque after Mexican independence, Jean-Frederic Waldeck has long been dismissed as unreliable, his drawings of pre-Columbian art marred by his excessive interest in European styles of beauty. With this fresh look at Waldeck's entire output, including his desire to exhibit at Paris salons, his reconstructions of Mayan and Aztec subjects can be understood as art rather than illustration. Pasztory sees him as a unique Neoclassicist who has never been fully appreciated. In addition to illustrating Maya antiquities in the days before photography, Waldeck painted imaginary reconstructions of pre-Columbian life and rituals and scenes of everyday life in nineteenth-century Mexico. Most his contemporaries looking for exotic subject matter went east and are now referred to as Orientalists. Waldeck went west and found the exotic in the New World, but as Esther Pasztory suggests, he is an Orientalist in spirit. Waldeck's work was not considered interesting or important in its day, but twenty-first century viewers can appreciate his sensibility, which combines the modern domestic with the ancient mythic and features a theatrical version of Neoclassicism that looks forward to a Hollywood that would not exist until decades after the artist's death in 1875 at the age of 109.

Jean Baudrillard: Live Theory

Jean Baudrillard: Live Theory

Paul Hegarty

BLOOMSBURY PUBLISHING PLC
2004
sidottu
Jean Baudrillard's work on how contemporary society is dominated by the mass media has become extraordinarily influential. He is notorious for arguing that there is no real world, only simulations which have altered what events mean, and that only violent symbolic exchange can prevent the world becoming a total simulation. An ideal introduction to this most singular cultural critic and philosopher, Jean Baudrillard: Live Theory offers a comprehensive, critical account of Baudrillard's unsettling, visionary and often prescient work. Baudrillard's relation to a range of thinkers as diverse as Nietzsche, Marx, McLuhan, Foucault and Lyotard is explained, and the impact of his thought on contemporary politics, popular culture and art is analysed. Finally, in the new interview included here, Baudrillard outlines his own position and responds to his critics.

Jean-Michel Basquiat Drawing

Jean-Michel Basquiat Drawing

Fred Hoffman

Rizzoli International Publications
2014
sidottu
Published on the occasion of an exhibition of the same name, Jean-Michel Basquiat Drawing is the first book on the Schorr Collection of Basquiat's works on paper. Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988) was barely out of his teens when he rocketed to the center of New York's art scene; he was 27 when he died of a heroin overdose. A friend of Keith Haring and Andy Warhol, and always controversial, Basquiat is now established as a major contemporary painter whose unique work continues to enthrall. Herbert and Lenore Schorr began collecting the work of Basquiat in 1981, before his first New York exhibition. During the artist's seminal years of 1982-83, the Schorrs acquired several of his most important paintings, but in contrast to virtually every other early collector, the Schorrs also pursued and acquired a great number of works on paper both directly from the artist and from his first dealer. Their collection demonstrates the focus and ambition that the artist invested in the medium of drawing.

Lee Jaffe, a cross-disciplinary visual artist, musician, and poet, took photos of his friend, Jean-Michel Basquiat, when they travelled abroad in 1983. As a photographer, Jaffe had a connection to Basquiat, and their time spent together resulted in an archive of imagery that captured one of the art world s true legends through an unfiltered and authentic lens. Basquiat and Jaffe connected over reggae music at a mutual friend s art show. It was the early 1980s in New York, when the art scene was raw, complicated, and thriving, and Jaffe cultivated strong connections with cultural figures such as Basquiat, Bob Marley, and Peter Tosh. For me, watching him [ Jean] paint reminded me of the times I would sit and play harmonica while Bob Marley, with his acoustic guitar, would be writing songs that were eventually to become classics, Jaffe says. With Jean and Bob, it seemed like they were channelling inspiration coming from an otherworldly place. This beautiful volume presents snapshots of Basquiat: from the artist smiling on a bullet train to Kyoto and behind-the-scenes documentation of Basquiat creating artwork in St. Moritz, to poignant portraits that mirror his undeniable magnetism. These rare depictions of Basquiat come to life with Jaffe s unforgettable experiences of their friendship, collaborations, and travels detailed in private written memories and anecdotes. This insightful and moving illustrated volume captures the soul of the unedited, ambitious, young artist during the height of his short yet unprecedented artistic career.
