Reintroducing the Past by G.V. Loewen Pdf

“We have established what our general expectations of ‘the past’ are to be, given that it is our creation and thus it ‘owes’ something or other to us. It is at first motivated by resentment, tends toward reification, and divulges reconciliation. It has the character of a ‘space,’ it is something more ‘moral’ than we, and is also possessed of the variety of other traits, including it being a space of acts rather than action and also of the mystery of hiddenness. The past is, in its essence, something occlusive and worthy of inspection along this line alone. The query that begins all of it at this moment is simply, ‘why did this occur?’ To comprehend the presence of the past in this more radical manner – the object, especially if it is art, objects to us and thus as well to all of our nostalgic and romantic desires of it – we find we must engage in both memorial imagination as well as memorial recollection.” (From the book.) In this first volume of a three-part study, a phenomenology of how we understand the presence of time in the world begins with the question: How do we understand the concept of the past? This question has a number of aspects to it: What is “the past?” How does the past retain its presence in the present? What is the temporal character of that which no longer fully exists? And so on. This analysis attempts to capture the curious amalgam of memory, biography, and history, and subject it to the objection of the present. Herein, the dead must answer to the living inasmuch as the inverse has also ever been the case.

Representing the Past in the Art of the Long Nineteenth Century by Matthew C. Potter Pdf

This edited collection explores the intersection of historical studies and the artistic representation of the past in the long nineteenth century. The case studies provide not just an account of the pursuit of history in art within Western Europe but also examples from beyond that sphere. These cover canonical and conventional examples of history painting as well as more inclusive, ‘popular’ and vernacular visual cultural phenomena. General themes explored include the problematics internal to the theory and practice of academic history painting and historical genre painting, including compositional devices and the authenticity of artefacts depicted; relationships of power and purpose in historical art; the use of historical art for alternative Liberal and authoritarian ideals; the international cross-fertilisation of ideas about historical art; and exploration of the diverse influences of socioeconomic and geopolitical factors. This book will be of particular interest to scholars of the histories of nineteenth-century art and culture.

Representing the Sporting Past in Museums and Halls of Fame by Murray G. Phillips Pdf

We live in a "museum age," and sport museums are part of this phenomenon. In this book, leading international sport history scholars examine sport museums including renowned institutions like the Olympic Museum in the Swiss city of Lausanne, the Babe Ruth Birthplace and Museum in Baltimore, the Marylebone Cricket Club Museum in London, the Croke Park Museum in Dublin, and the Whyte Museum in Banff. These institutions are examined in a broad context of understanding sport museums as an identifiable genre in the "museum age", and more specifically in terms of how the sporting past is represented in these museums. Historians explain, debate and critique sport museums with the intention of understanding how this important form of public history represents sport for audiences who see museums as institutions that are inherently reliable and trustworthy.

Long Past Slavery by Catherine A. Stewart Pdf

From 1936 to 1939, the New Deal's Federal Writers' Project collected life stories from more than 2,300 former African American slaves. These narratives are now widely used as a source to understand the lived experience of those who made the transition from slavery to freedom. But in this examination of the project and its legacy, Catherine A. Stewart shows it was the product of competing visions of the past, as ex-slaves' memories of bondage, emancipation, and life as freedpeople were used to craft arguments for and against full inclusion of African Americans in society. Stewart demonstrates how project administrators, such as the folklorist John Lomax; white and black interviewers, including Zora Neale Hurston; and the ex-slaves themselves fought to shape understandings of black identity. She reveals that some influential project employees were also members of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, intent on memorializing the Old South. Stewart places ex-slaves at the center of debates over black citizenship to illuminate African Americans' struggle to redefine their past as well as their future in the face of formidable opposition. By shedding new light on a critically important episode in the history of race, remembrance, and the legacy of slavery in the United States, Stewart compels readers to rethink a prominent archive used to construct that history.

Reintroduction by Emanuel Jones Pdf

As a Reintroduction, I’m here to offer and help as a positive guide to get our minds back to thinking, back to fighting, back to handling day-to-day life challenges. Yes, I, too, have been beaten, broken to pieces, laughed at, and had life pull me apart like puzzle. One thing I can say is I’m thankful to have my right mind, health, strength, breath in my body, the ability to speak, walk, and give someone some of what’s in me. The Reintroduction is introduced to help find that champion, that winner to bring out the best you. To help you understand God has not left you. He is waiting for you. Many of us, including myself, have asked the question, “If God wants me to do something, why he won’t do it himself?” Well, I’m here as a witness to say on behalf of God, when you want some new clothes or shoes, they don’t just come to you. You have to go get them. When someone needs you, they come get you and you assist until the job or calling is done. So you have to pray, meditate, and talk to God every day to develop your peace of mind for yourself.

In the Garden of Iden by Kage Baker Pdf

Kage Baker's In the Garden of Iden is the first novel in what has become one of the most popular series in contemporary SF--The Company--now back in print from Tor. In the 24th century, the Company preserves works of art and extinct forms of life (for profit of course). It recruits orphans from the past, renders them all but immortal, and trains them to serve the Company, Dr. Zeus. One of these is Mendoza the botanist. She is sent to Elizabethan England to collect samples from the garden of Sir Walter Iden. But while there, she meets Nicholas Harpole, with whom she falls in love. And that love sounds great bells of change that will echo down the centuries, and through the succeeding novels of The Company. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Queerly Remembered by Thomas R. Dunn Pdf

An interdisciplinary examination of the strategies GLBTQ communities have used to advocate for political, social, and cultural change Queerly Remembered investigates the ways in which gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer (GLBTQ) individuals and communities have increasingly turned to public tellings of their ostensibly shared pasts in order to advocate for political, social, and cultural change in the present. Much like nations, institutions, and other minority groups before them, GLBTQ people have found communicating their past(s)—particularly as expressed through the concept of memory—a rich resource for leveraging historical and contemporary opinions toward their cause. Drawing from the interdisciplinary fields of rhetorical studies, memory studies, gay and lesbian studies, and queer theory, Thomas R. Dunn considers both the ephemeral tactics and monumental strategies that GLBTQ communities have used to effect their queer persuasion. More broadly this volume addresses the challenges and opportunities posed by embracing historical representations of GLBTQ individuals and communities as a political strategy. Particularly for a diverse community whose past is marked by the traumas of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, the forgetting and destruction of GLBTQ history, and the sometimes-divisive representational politics of fluid, intersectional identities, portraying a shared past is an exercise fraught with conflict despite its potential rewards. Nonetheless, by investigating rich rhetorical case studies through time and across diverse artifacts—including monuments, memorials, statues, media publications, gravestones, and textbooks—Queerly Remembered reveals that our current queer "turn toward memory" is a complex, enduring, and avowedly rich rhetorical undertaking.

Animals, Plants and Afterimages by Valérie Bienvenue,Nicholas Chare Pdf

The sixth mass extinction or Anthropocene extinction is one of the most pervasive issues of our time. Animals, Plants and Afterimages brings together leading scholars in the humanities and life sciences to explore how extinct species are represented in art and visual culture, with a special emphasis on museums. Engaging with celebrated cases of vanished species such as the quagga and the thylacine as well as less well-known examples of animals and plants, these essays explore how representations of recent and ancient extinctions help advance scientific understanding and speak to contemporary ecological and environmental concerns.

Views of Violence by Jörg Echternkamp,Stephan Jaeger Pdf

Twenty-first-century views of historical violence have been immeasurably influenced by cultural representations of the Second World War. Within Europe, one of the key sites for such representation has been the vast array of museums and memorials that reflect contemporary ideas of war, the roles of soldiers and civilians, and the self-perception of those who remember. This volume takes a historical perspective on museums covering the Second World War and explores how these institutions came to define political contexts and cultures of public memory in Germany, across Europe, and throughout the world.
