Sommario/riassunto |
|
Melancholy is not only about sadness, despair, and loss. As Renaissance artists and philosophers acknowledged long ago, it can engender a certain kind of creativity born from a deep awareness of the mutability of life and the inevitable cycle of birth and death. Drawing on psychoanalysis, philosophy, and the intellectual history of the history of art, The Melancholy Art explores the unique connections between melancholy and the art historian's craft. Though the objects art historians study are materially present in our world, the worlds from which they come are forever lost to time. In this eloquent and inspiring book, Michael Ann Holly traces how this disjunction courses through the history of art and shows how it can give rise to melancholic sentiments in historians who write about art. She confronts pivotal and vexing questions in her discipline: Why do art historians write in the first place? What kinds of psychic exchanges occur between art objects and those who write about them? What institutional and personal needs does art history serve? What is lost in historical writing about art? The Melancholy Art looks at how melancholy suffuses the work of some of the twentieth century's most powerful and poetic writers on the history |

of art, including Alois Riegl, Franz Wickhoff, Adrian Stokes, Michael Baxandall, Meyer Schapiro, and Jacques Derrida. A disarmingly personal meditation by one of our most distinguished art historians, this book explains why to write about art is to share in a kind of intertwined pleasure and loss that is the very essence of melancholy.

Sommario/riassunto |

Der Roman spielt im Sommer 1926. Hauptfigur ist Christine Hoflehner, eine junge Postassistentin in einem österreichischen Dorf. Eines Tages wird sie von Verwandten per Telegramm in ein feudales Hotel in Pontresina eingeladen, wo sie vorgibt, die reiche Nichte Christiane van Boolen zu sein, und das gesellschaftliche Leben genießt. Durch eine Intrige wird schließlich ihre wahre Identität bekannt, woraufhin sie in ihr Dorf zurückgeschickt wird. Mit dem Leben dort kommt sie nicht mehr zurecht und fällt in einen depressiven und aggressiven Zustand. Sie geht regelmäßig nach Wien, wo sie schließlich Ferdinand kennenlernt, der seine Jugend durch den Krieg verloren hat. Die beiden planen einen gemeinsamen Suizid, zu dem es jedoch nicht kommt. Ferdinand schlägt vor, einen Postraub zu begehen und anschließend gemeinsam weiterzuleben. (Auszug aus Wikipedia) |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book presents the recent developments in the field of geometric inequalities and their applications. The volume covers a vast range of topics, such as complex geometry, contact geometry, statistical manifolds, Riemannian submanifolds, optimization theory, topology of manifolds, log-concave functions, Obata differential equation, Chen invariants, Einstein spaces, warped products, solitons, isoperimetric problem, Erdös-Mordell inequality, Barrow's inequality, Simpson inequality, Chen inequalities, and q-integral inequalities. By exposing new concepts, techniques and ideas, this book will certainly stimulate further research in the field. |
