Jacobean City Comedy (Routledge Library Editions: Renaissance Drama)

by Brian Gibbons

The first decade of the Jacobean age witnessed a sudden profusion of comedies satirizing city life; among these were comedies by Ben Jonson, John Marston and Thomas Middleton, as well as the bulk of the repertory of the newly-established children’s companies at Blackfriars and Paul’s. The playwrights self-consciously forged a new genre which attracted London audiences with its images of folly and vice in Court and City, and hack-writing dramatists were prompt to cash in on a new theatrical fashion. This study, first published in 1980, examines ways in which the Jacobean city comedy reflect on the self-consciousness of audiences and the concern of the dramatists with Jacobean society. This title will be of interest of students of Renaissance Drama, English Literature and Performance.

Kind und Fernsehen: Theoretische und empirische Untersuchung zum Kinderfernsehen (Forschungsberichte des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen #2954)

by Gerhard Augst

Einer der ersten öffentlichen Auftritte des neu gegründeten For­ schungsschwerpunktes 'Massenmedien und Kommunikation' an der GH Siegen war im Mai 1976 eine Vortrags- und Diskussionsveranstal­ tung, bei der der Kommunikationstheoretiker Horst Holzer (München) und der Kinderfilmautor Sven Severin (Wiesbaden) sprachen. Severin zeigte einen Film, den das ZDF als dritten Teil der Rappelkistensendung 'Kinder machen nicht alles kaputt' sonntags zuvor gesendet hatte. Die Meinungen prallten hart aufeinander, die Urteile über den Film schwankten von "völlig unzureichend" bis "großartig". Viele Diskussionsbei­ träge gingen dabei von Vermutungen über die Wirkung dieses Films auf Kinder und Erwachsene aus. Dies war der Punkt, an dem wir uns angesprochen fühlten. Ein Ur­ teil über die Güte des Films muß auch davon abhängen, ob die Kinder und auch die Erwachsenen, denn mit deren Hilfe rechnet das Rappelkistenteam,den Film inhaltlich verstehen, ob sie den Sinn und damit auch die Intentionen des Films begreifen, ob si~ bereit sind, die Intentionen, Handlungsanweisungen bzw. die nor­ mativen (präskriptiven) Aussagen des Films zu akzeptieren, so daß die Kinder in Zukunft danach handeln und die Erwachsenen ihre Kinder in Zukunft danach handeln lassen.

The Language of Images (A Critical Inquiry Book)

by W. J. Mitchell

"A remarkably rich and provocative set of essays on the virtually infinite kinds of meanings generated by images in both the verbal and visual arts. Ranging from Michelangelo to Velazquez and Delacroix, from the art of the emblem book to the history of photography and film, The Language of Images offers at once new ways of thinking about the inexhaustibly complex relation between verbal and iconic representation."—James A. W. Heffernan, Dartmouth College

Mao Zedong’s “Talks at the Yan’an Conference on Literature and Art”: A Translation of the 1943 Text with Commentary (Michigan Monographs In Chinese Studies #39)

by Bonnie S. McDougall Zedong Mao

The writings of Mao Zedong have been circulated throughout the world more widely, perhaps, than those of any other single person this century. The “Talks at the Yan’an Conference on Literature and Art” has occupied a prominent position among his many works and has been the subject of intense scrutiny both within and outside China. This text has undoubted importance to modern Chinese literature and history. In particular, it reveals Mao’s views on such questions as the relationship between writers or works of literature and their audience, or the nature and value of different kinds of literary products. In this translation and commentary, Bonnie S. McDougall finds that Mao was in fact ahead of many of his critics in the West and his Chinese contemporaries in his discussion of literary issues. Unlike the majority of modern Chinese writers deeply influenced by Western theories of literature and society (including Marxism), Mao remained close to traditional patterns of thought and avoided the often mechanical or narrowly literal interpretations that were the hallmark of Western schools current in China in the early twentieth century. Many of the detailed discussions on the “Talks” in the West have been concerned with their political and historical significance. However, since Mao is a literary figure of some importance in twentieth-century China, McDougall finds it worthwhile to follow up his published remarks on the nature and source of literature and the means of its evaluation. By better understanding the complex and revolutionary ideas contained in the “Talks,” McDougall suggests we may acquire the necessary analytical tools for a more fruitful investigation into contemporary Chinese literature.

The Perception of Pictures: Dürer's Devices: Beyond the Projective Model of Pictures

by Margaret A. Hagen

Durer's Devices: Beyond the Projective Model of Pictures is a collection of papers that discusses the nature of picture making and perception. One paper presents a perceptual theory of pictorial representation in which cultural and historical options in styles of depiction that appear to be different are actually closely related perceptually. Another paper discusses pictorial functions and perceptual structures including pictorial representation, perceptual theory, flat canvass, and the deep world. One paper suggests that perception can be more a matter of information "make up" than "pick up." Light becomes somewhat informative and the eye, correspondingly, becomes less or more presumptive. Another paper notes that human vision is transformed by our modes of representation, that image formation can be essentially incomplete, false, or misleading (primarily as regards dramatic performance and pictorial representation). One paper makes three claims that: (1) the blind have untapped depiction abilities; (2) haptics, involving the sense of touch, have an intuitive sense of perspective; and (3) depiction is perceptual based on graphic elements and pictorial configurations. The collection is suitable for psychologists, physiologists, psychophysicists, and researchers in human perception or phenomenology.

Steel-Engraved Book Illustration in England (Routledge Revivals)

by Basil Hunnisett

First published in 1980, Steel-Engraved Book Illustration in England is a detailed and comprehensive survey of the steel engravings that were so popular in the nineteenth century. With an extensive range of illustrations, the book refutes the assumption that steel engravings are of little artistic value or importance, a common attitude rooted largely in the connection between steel engravings and mass-produced books. Beginning with an exploration of the identification problems and early history of steel engravings, it moves through the production and printing of the plates and on to a study of several engravers and artists, as well as of the books themselves. Steel-Engraved Book Illustration in England will appeal to anyone interested in the history of printing and illustration.

Subculture: The Meaning of Style

by Dick Hebdige

'Hebdige's Subculture: The Meaning of Style is so important: complex and remarkably lucid, it's the first book dealing with punk to offer intellectual content. Hebdige [...] is concerned with the UK's postwar, music-centred, white working-class subcultures, from teddy boys to mods and rockers to skinheads and punks.' - Rolling Stone With enviable precision and wit Hebdige has addressed himself to a complex topic - the meanings behind the fashionable exteriors of working-class youth subcultures - approaching them with a sophisticated theoretical apparatus that combines semiotics, the sociology of devience and Marxism and come up with a very stimulating short book - Time Out This book is an attempt to subject the various youth-protest movements of Britain in the last 15 years to the sort of Marxist, structuralist, semiotic analytical techniques propagated by, above all, Roland Barthes. The book is recommended whole-heartedly to anyone who would like fresh ideas about some of the most stimulating music of the rock era - The New York Times
