DeFrantzOxford [etc.]Oxford University Press2004Testo elettronico (PDF) (XVII, 300 p.)ill.Base dati testualeAll'inizio degli anni '60, l'Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre era una piccola compagnia multirazziale di ballerini che eseguiva le opere del suo coreografo fondatore e di altri artisti emergenti. Alla fine degli anni '60, la compagnia era diventata un noto gruppo artistico afroamericano strettamente legato alla lotta per i diritti civili. In Dancing Revelations, Thomas DeFrantz racconta il viaggio della troupe da una piccola compagnia di danza moderna a una delle principali istituzioni della cultura afroamericana. Non solo traccia questa ascesa alla fama nazionale e internazionale, ma contestualizza anche questo progresso all'interno delle lotte per i diritti civili, i diritti delle donne e i diritti dei gay della fine del XX secolo.Ailey,AlvinBNCF792.8028092DEFRANTZ,Thomas F.628645cbaITcbaREICAT996457353203316EBERDancing Revelations1227197UNISA03931nam 2200685 450 991080745600332120200520144314.00-8122-9173-510.9783/9780812291735(CKB)3710000000274996(OCoLC)896849990(CaPaEBR)ebrary10962111(SSID)ssj0001380004(PQKBManifestationID)11773236(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001380004(PQKBWorkID)11365471(PQKB)11646978(MdBmJHUP)muse41911(DE-B1597)451297(OCoLC)979631290(DE-B1597)9780812291735(Au-PeEL)EBL3442444(CaPaEBR)ebr10962111(CaONFJC)MIL682679(OCoLC)932313319(MiAaPQ)EBC3442444(EXLCZ)99371000000027499620071019h20082008 uy| 0engurcnu||||||||txtccrPlace and memory in the Singing Crane Garden /Vera SchwarczPhiladelphia :University of Pennsylvania Press,[2008]©20081 online resource (273 p.)Penn studies in landscape architectureBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph1-322-51397-X 0-8122-4100-2 Includes bibliographical references (pages [241]-250) and index.Front matter --Contents --Preface --Introduction: A Garden Made Of Language And Time --1.

Built by the Manchu prince Mianyu in the mid-nineteenth century, the garden was intended to serve as a refuge from the clutter of daily life near the Forbidden City. In 1860, during the Anglo-French war in China, the garden was destroyed. One hundred years later, in the 1960's, the garden served as the "ox pens," where dissident university professors were imprisoned during the Cultural Revolution. Peaceful Western involvement began in 1986, when ground was broken for the Arthur Sackler Museum of Art and Archaeology. Completed in 1993, the museum and the Jillian Sackler Sculpture Garden stand on the same grounds today. In Place and Memory in the Singing Crane Garden, Vera Schwarcz gives voice to this richly layered corner of China's cultural landscape. Drawing upon a range of sources from poetry to painting, Schwarcz retells the garden's complex history in her own poetic and personal voice. In her exploration of cultural survival, trauma, memory, and place, she reveals how the garden becomes a vehicle for reflection about history and language. Encyclopedic in conception and artistic in execution, Place and Memory in the Singing Crane Garden is a powerful work that shows how memory and ruins can revive the spirit of individuals and cultures alike.Penn studies in landscape architecture.ARCHITECTURE / LandscapebisacshMing He Yuan (Beijing, China)HistoryArchitecture.Fine Art.Garden History.ARCHITECTURE / Landscape.712/.6 0951156Schwarcz Vera1947-1666892MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910807456003321Place and memory in the Singing Crane Garden4026399UNINA
