In the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, ideals of technological progress and mass consumerism shaped the print cultures of countries across the globe. Magazines in Europe, the USA, Latin America, and Asia inflected a shared internationalism and technological optimism. But there were equally powerful countervailing influences, of patriotic or insurgent nationalism, and of traditionalism, that promoted cultural differentiation. In their editorials, images, and advertisements magazines embodied the tensions between these domestic imperatives and the forces of global modernity. Magazines and Modern Identities explores how these tensions played out in the magazine cultures of ten diff...
The first comprehensive history in English of film at the Bauhaus, exploring practices that experimented with film as an adaptable, elastic “polymedium.” With Design in Motion, Laura Frahm proposes an alternate history of the Bauhaus—one in which visual media, and film in particular, are crucial to the Bauhaus’s visionary pursuit of integrating art and technology. In the first comprehensive examination in English of film at the Bauhaus, Frahm shows that experimentation with film spanned a range of Bauhaus practices, from textiles and typography to stage and exhibition design. Indeed, Bauhausler deployed film as an adaptable, elastic “polymedium,” malleable in shape and form, unfo...
The purpose of this edited volume is to explore the contributions of women to European, Mexican, American and Indian film industries during the years 1900 to 1950, an important period that signified the rise and consolidation of media technologies. Their pioneering work as film stars, writers, directors, designers and producers as well as their endeavors to bridge the gap between the avant-garde and mass culture are significant aspects of this collection. This intersection will be carefully nuanced through their cinematographic production, performances and artistic creations. Other distinctive features pertain to the interconnection of gender roles and moral values with ways of looking, whic...
Bringing together an international team of scholars, this book offers new perspectives on the impact that the Bauhaus and its teaching had on a wide range of artistic practices. Three of the fields in which the Bauhaus generated immediately transformative effects were housing, typography, and photography. Contributors go further to chart the surprising relation of the school to contemporary developments in hairstyling and shop window display in unprecedented detail. New scholarship has detailed the degree to which Bauhaus faculty and students set off around the world, but it has seldom paid attention to its impact in communist East Germany or in countries like Ireland where no Bauhäusler settled. This wide-ranging collection makes clear that a century after its founding, many new stories remain to be told about the influence of the twentieth century’s most innovative arts institution. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, design history, photography, and architectural history.
In 1919, the program of the State Bauhaus promised a modern education for the talented, regardless of age and gender, which drew many young women to apply. The "Bauhaus-Girl Type," described in a January 1930 issue of the magazine The Week, knew what she wanted and would succeed. This volume's essays question the euphoria of the time period with the knowledge of Bauhaus members' subsequent destinies. These essays take as exemplary the biographies of Gertrud Arndt, Marianne Brandt, Margarete Heymann, and Margaretha Reichardt, both during their training and as Bauhaus graduates.

Akademische Arbeit aus dem Jahr 2021 im Fachbereich Kunst - Deutsche Kunst, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Sichtbarkeit der Frauen am Bauhaus ist erst in der gegenwärtigen Forschungsliteratur überhaupt in ihrer Fülle herausgestellt worden. Natürlich gab es auch zuvor schon einzelne, herausragende Frauengestalten, denen man ihre historische Bedeutung für das 20. Jahrhundert und darüber hinaus zugestand, wie bspw. Marianne Brandt, Gunta Stölzl oder Alma Siedhoff-Buscher. Jedoch sind die vielfältigen, kreativen und außerordentlich facettenreichen Frauengestalten des Bauhauses erst in den letzten Jahren auch in der Literatur populär geworden und man hat sich ihnen in besonderer Weis...
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2005 im Fachbereich Medien / Kommunikation - Printmedien, Presse, Note: 5 (Schweiz, Universität Zürich (Institut für Publizistikwissenschaft und Medienforschung), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Schon in seinen frühesten Tagen war das Kino eine populärkulturelle Erscheinung, die grosse Menschenmengen anzusprechen vermochte. Bereits als das Kino noch in erster Linie ein Spektakel war, das kaum künstlerische Ansprüche hatte, war es ein Medium der Massen. Natürlich sind sein künstlerischer Anspruch und seine Akzeptanz als Kunstform seither stetig gewachsen, dennoch hat das Kino auch seine enorme populärkulturelle Relevanz beibehalten. Die Filmindustrien machen h...

Visual images have been a central component of propaganda for as long as propaganda has been produced. But recent developments in communication and information technologies have given terrorist and extremist groups options and abilities they never would have been able to come close to even 5 or 10 years ago. There are terrorist groups who, with very little initial investment, are making videos that are coming so close to the quality of BBC or CNN broadcasts that the difference is meaningless, and with access to the web they have instantaneous access to a global audience. Given the broad social science consensus on the power of visual images relative to that of words, the strategic implications of these groups¿ sophistication in the use of images in the online environment is carefully considered in a variety of contexts by the authors in this collection.
