Face to Face: Portraits of Artists by Tacita Dean, Brigitte Lacombe, and Catherine Opie
Face to Face presents a selection of portraits of artists by three of the most prominent portrait artists of our time. Bringing together the diverse and distinctive work of Tacita Dean, Brigitte Lacombe, and Catherine Opie, this book forms an investigation into the charged genre of portraiture and its various approaches, navigating tensions between intimacy and publicity. While the three artists collected here share a wide set of historical touchstones, each deploys the camera differently: Dean exploits cinema's capacity for duration; Lacombe takes her cameras out on assignment; Opie works in the tradition of the studio photograph. Often overlapping in the subjects depicted, Face to Face offers an opportunity to look closely at bracing, intimate, and resonant portraits of the seminal thinkers and makers that these artists have encountered across the fields of music, painting, photography, film, and literature, among them Hilton Als, Maya Angelou, Richard Avedon, Joan Didion, David Hockney, Joan Jonas, Fran Lebowitz Patti Smith, Kara Walker, and many others. Published in conjunction with an exhibition at the International Center of Photography (ICP), New York, the book includes essays by the exhibition's curator, Helen Molesworth, and the artist and writer Jarrett Earnest
Winihilf des 3. Reiches oder Die nationalsozialistische Mutter Gottes - Kritische Auseinandersetzung mit Brigitte Hamanns fragwurdiger Hagiographie von Winifred Wagner
Essay aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich Theaterwissenschaft, Tanz, Veranstaltung: Musiktheaterwissenschaft und Zeitgeschichte, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Im Jahre 1997, dem 100. Geburtstag von Richard Wagners Schwiegertochter Winifred, hatte Festspielleiter Wolfgang Wagner eine gro e Winifred Wagner-Ausstellung angek ndigt, dann zur ckgezogen und auf unbestimmte Zeit verschoben, bis die Materialien kritisch aufgearbeitet w ren. Die Ausstellung fand bis heute nicht statt. Wolfgang Wagner forderte die Historikerin Martha Schad auf, eine Biographie seiner Mutter zu verfassen, zog allerdings seine Bereitschaft, ihr alle Materialien zug nglich zu machen, zur ck, als Brigitte Hamann, die er bereits 1997 erfolglos um einen Vortrag ber seine Mutter gebeten hatte, sich bereit erkl rte, als Fortsetzung Ihres Buches "Hitlers Wien" eine Biographie ber die Festspielchefin von 1930 bis 1944 zu schreiben. Schad ver ffentlichte daraufhin "Frauen gegen Hitler," eine lesenswerte Erg nzung zu Hamanns Publikation (Heyne Verlag, M nchen 2001). Hamanns umfangreiche Arbeit, die sich auf zahlreiche verstreute Quellen st tzt, aber auf ein Literaturverzeichnis ebenso verzichtet wie auf die Quellenangabe ihrer Abbildungen (etwa Adolf Hitlers Entwurf eines B hnenbildes zu "Lohengrin"), erweist sich als leicht lesbare Anekdotensammlung. Worum ging es der Autorin? Um eine Hagiographie der Beschriebenen oder gar um ein Werben um den Nachvollzug, es "m sse doch allerlei Gutes an Hitler gewesen sein" (593)? Kritische Distanz vermisst der Leser oft, etwa wenn Hamann von "Hitlers Erfolgserie" (226) spricht. Sie steht auf der Seite der harten Nazidoktrin, wenn sie einen Fackelzug des Bayreuther Bundes der Deutschen Jugend, 1926 in Weimar, als "h chst altv terisch" klassifiziert, "verglichen mit den kraftvollen Aufm rschen der SA-Jugend" (151). Zahlreiche offensichtliche Errata der gerade in historischer Hinsicht h chst fragw rdigen Abhandlung werden ebenso aufgedeckt und klar gestellt wie eine Re
Sicherungsverwahrung. Was u.a. Brigitte Zypries dazu sagt
Wie wurde und wird das Thema "Sicherungsverwahrung" in der deutschen Politik diskutiert? Der vorliegende Quellenband enthält die Protokolle der im Deutschen Bundestag zur Thematik gehaltenen ungekürzten Reden ab 1998 (14. Legislaturperiode). Diese parteiübergreifende Dokumentation, ermöglicht dem Leser einen direkten Blick auf die parlamentarische Debatte zu "Sicherungsverwahrung" und die Diskussionen der Abgeordneten im politischen Tagesgeschäft.
Live Fast

Live Fast

HARPERCOLLINS PUBLISHERS INC

sidottu
Winner of the Prix Goncourt A powerful autobiographical novel of loss, the incandescent love that remains, and the small decisions that define the course of fatePaced and structured with the inevitable suspense of a countdown, Brigitte Giraud’s tense and haunting novel follows one woman’s quest to comprehend the motorcycle accident that took the life of her partner Claude at age 41.The narrator of Live Fast recounts the chain of events that led up to the fateful accident, tracing the tiny, maddening twists of fate that might have prevented its tragic outcome. Each chapter asks the rhetorical question, “what if,” departing from an image or memory from early years in Algeria during the war, to moving to the suburbs of Lyon, buying and renovating a home where they could “put down their suitcase for a whole life.” A sensitive elegy to her husband and a subtle, precise vision of a lasting love, Live Fast is a moving and electrifying portrait of two people caught up in the mundane activities of life, forgetting that living itself can be dangerous.
The Emergence and Development of SVO Patterning in Latin and French

The Emergence and Development of SVO Patterning in Latin and French

Brigitte L. M. Bauer

Oxford University Press Inc
1995

This book analyses--in terms of branching--the pervasive reorganization of Latin syntactic and morphological structures: in the development from Latin to French, a shift can be observed from the archaic, left-branching structures (which Latin inherited from Proto-Indo-European) to modern right-branching equivalents. Brigitte Bauer presents a detailed analysis of this development based on the theoretical discussion and definition of "branching" and "head." Subsequently she relates the diachronic shift to psycholinguistic evidence, arguing that the difficuly of LB complex structures as reflected in their painstaking and delayed acquisition accounts for the extensive typological shift from left to right branching that took place in Latin/French and the other Indo-European languages. The author uses data from child language acquisition studies to support her thought-provoking claim.
Murder in the Courtroom

Murder in the Courtroom

Answers to many legal questions often depend on our understanding of the relationship between the human brain and behavior. While there is no evidence to suggest that violence is the sole result of cognitive impairment, research does suggest that frontal lobe impairment in particular may contribute to the etiology of violent behavior. Murder in the Courtroom presents a comprehensive and detailed analysis of issues most relevant to answering questions regarding the link between cognitive functioning and violence. It is the first book to focus exclusively on the etiology and assessment of cognitive impairment in the context of violent behavior and the challenges courts face in determining the reliability of neuroscience evidence; provide objective discussions of currently available neuropsychological tests and neuroimaging techniques, and their strengths and limitations; provide a methodology for the assessment of cognitive dysfunction in the context of violent behavior that is likely to withstand a Daubert challenge; and include detailed discussions of criminal cases to illustrate important points. Clinical and forensic psychologists and psychiatrists, cognitive neuroscientists, and legal professionals will be able to use this book to further their understanding of the relationship between brain function and extreme violence.
Selling Fear

Selling Fear

University of Chicago Press
2011

While we've long known that the strategies of terrorism rely heavily on media coverage of attacks, "Selling Fear" is the first detailed look at the role played by media in counterterrorism - and the ways that, in the wake of 9/11, the Bush administration manipulated coverage to maintain a climate of fear. Drawing on in-depth analysis of counterterrorism in the years after 9/11 - including the issuance of terror alerts and the decision to invade Iraq - the authors present a compelling case that the Bush administration hyped fear, while obscuring civil liberties abuses and concrete issues of preparedness. The media, meanwhile, largely abdicated its watchdog role, choosing to amplify the administration's message while downplaying issues that might have called the administration's statements and strategies into question. The book extends through Hurricane Katrina, and the more skeptical coverage that followed, then the first year of the Obama administration, when an increasingly partisan political environment presented the media, and the public, with new problems of reporting and interpretation. "Selling Fear" is a hard-hitting analysis of the intertwined failures of government and media - and their costs to our nation.

What Ails France?

What Ails France?

As evidenced by the yellow vests protest movement that began in France in 2018, the state of the French nation inspires gloom among many of its citizens. Brigitte Granville views this malaise as a peculiarly French symptom of the difficulties experienced by many advanced industrial democracies in the face of globalization, technology, and mass immigration.Granville brings trenchant criticism to bear in this wide-ranging survey of the political economy of contemporary France, building her case for the prosecution on the self-reinforcing rigidity produced by a narrow Parisian oligarchy that is both entitled and intellectually hidebound. What Ails France? applies an economist's vision to the monetary and fiscal pathologies flowing from this ideologically motivated technocratic rule, reflected in Europe's flawed monetary union, runaway indebtedness, and chronically high structural unemployment. The author marshals academic research from a wide range of disciplines to fuel a provocative and at times contentious analysis, proposing various treatments for French ailments that would reinvigorate the republican value of liberté with a new local slant.A refreshing, ideologically freewheeling discussion, What Ails France? provides a positive take on the innovations of our digital age, exploring their potential to bring about a more representative democracy and a fairer society.
