Vienna by Richard Cockett Pdf
How can one European capital be responsible for most of the West’s intellectual and cultural achievements in the twentieth century? Viennese ideas saturate the modern world. From California architecture to Hollywood Westerns, modern advertising to shopping malls, orgasms to gender confirmation surgery, nuclear fission to fitted kitchens—every aspect of our history, science, and culture is in some way shaped by Vienna. The city of Freud, Wittgenstein, Mahler, and Klimt was the melting pot at the heart of a vast metropolitan empire. But with the Second World War and the rise of fascism, the dazzling coteries of thinkers who squabbled, debated, and called Vienna home dispersed across the world, where their ideas continued to have profound impact. Richard Cockett gives us the entirety of this extraordinary story. Tracing Vienna’s rich intellectual history from psychoanalysis to Reaganomics, Cockett encompasses everything from the communist rebels of Red Vienna to the neoliberal economists of the Austrian School. This is the panoramic account of how one city made the modern world—and how we all remain inescapably Viennese.

The History of Meteoritics and Key Meteorite Collections by Gerald Joseph Home McCall,A. J. Bowden,Richard John Howarth Pdf
This Special Publication has 24 papers with an international authorship, and is prefaced by an introductory overview which presents highlights in the field. The first section covers the acceptance by science of the reality of the falls of rock and metal from the sky, an account that takes the reader from BCE (before common era) to the nineteenth century. The second section details some of the world's most important collections in museums - their origins and development. The Smithsonian chapter also covers the astonishingly numerous finds in the cold desert of Antarctica by American search parties. There are also contributions covering the finds by Japanese parties in the Yamato mountains and the equally remarkable discoveries in the hot deserts of Australia, North Africa, Oman and the USA. The other seven chapters take the reader through the revolution in scientific research on meteoritics in the later part of the twentieth century, including terrestrial impact cratering and extraordinary showers of glass from the sky; tektites, now known to be Earth-impact-sourced. Finally, the short epilogue looks to the future.

Sounds of the Metropolis by Derek B. Scott Pdf
The phrase "popular music revolution" may instantly bring to mind such twentieth-century musical movements as jazz and rock 'n' roll. In Sounds of the Metropolis, however, Derek Scott argues that the first popular music revolution actually occurred in the nineteenth century, illustrating how a distinct group of popular styles first began to assert their independence and values. He explains the popular music revolution as driven by social changes and the incorporation of music into a system of capitalist enterprise, which ultimately resulted in a polarization between musical entertainment (or "commercial" music) and "serious" art. He focuses on the key genres and styles that precipitated musical change at that time, and that continued to have an impact upon popular music in the next century. By the end of the nineteenth century, popular music could no longer be viewed as watered down or more easily assimilated art music; it had its own characteristic techniques, forms, and devices. As Scott shows, "popular" refers here, for the first time, not only to the music's reception, but also to the presence of these specific features of style. The shift in meaning of "popular" provided critics with tools to condemn music that bore the signs of the popular-which they regarded as fashionable and facile, rather than progressive and serious. A fresh and persuasive consideration of the genesis of popular music on its own terms, Sounds of the Metropolis breaks new ground in the study of music, cultural sociology, and history.

Stories of Traumatic Pasts by Marina Gržinić,Jovita Pristovšek,Sophie Uitz,Christina Jauernik Pdf
Belgischer Kolonialismus im Kongo, Antisemitismus in Österreich, Turbo-Nationalismus im ehemaligen Jugoslawien – diese drei historischen Stränge von Gewalt und Vernichtung erzwangen und stützten einen Prozess des Vergessens, der bis heute eine Aufarbeitung der durch sie verursachten Genozide verhindert. Heute droht eine unfreiwillige oder ausgeübte Amnesie all das zu zerstören, was bereits in Hinblick auf ein mögliches Zusammenleben erreicht wurde. Der Ausstellungskatalog geht zu diesen traumatischen Ereignissen der Geschichte sowie der jüngsten Vergangenheit mit ihrer zerstörerischen Wirkung auf Gemeinschaften und Völker, Staaten und Territorien zurück und stellen sie einem System von Interventionen gegenüber. Die nach Gräueltaten zurückbleibenden Narben sind zwar oft versteckt und ausgelöscht, lassen sich aber durch künstlerische, wissenschaftliche und politische Reflexionen zurückholen.
