The Cord Keepers - Frank L. Salomon - Bog - Duke University Press - Plusbog.dk

None of the world’s “lost writings” have proven more perplexing than the mysterious script in which the Inka Empire kept its records. Ancient Andean peoples encoded knowledge in knotted cords of cotton or wool called khipus . In The Cord Keepers , the distinguished anthropologist Frank Salomon breaks new ground with a close ethnography of one Andean village where villagers, surprisingly, have conserved a set of these enigmatic cords to the present day. The “quipocamayos,” as the villagers call them, form a sacred patrimony. Keying his reading to the internal life of the ancient kin groups that own the khipus, Salomon suggests that the multicolored cords, with their knots and lavishly woven ornaments, did not mimic speech as most systems of writing do, but instead were anchored in nonverbal codes. The Cord Keepers makes a compelling argument for a close intrinsic link between rituals and visual-sign systems. It indicates that, while Andean graphic representation may differ radically from familiar ideas of writing, it may not lie beyond the reach of scholarly interpretation. In 1994, Salomon witnessed the use of khipus as civic regalia on the heights of Tupicocha, in Peru’s central Huarochirí region. By observing the rich ritual surrounding them, studying the village’s written records from past centuries, and analyzing the khipus themselves, Salomon opens a fresh chapter in the quest for khipu decipherment. He draws on a decade’s field research, early colonial records, and radiocarbon and fiber analysis. Challenging the prevailing idea that the use of khipus ended under early Spanish colonial rule, Salomon reveals that these beautiful objects served, apparently as late as the early twentieth century, to document households’ contribution to their kin groups and these kin groups’ contribution to their village. The Cord Keepers is a major contribution to Andean history and, more broadly, to understandings of writing and literacy.

Charlotte Salomon Paints Her Life - Pamela Reitman - Bog - Sibylline Press - Plusbog.dk

Charlotte Salomon Paints Her Life Inspired by the life and work of Charlotte Salomon, this novel shows an artist intent on pursuing her art against all odds. As a young German-Jewish art student at The Berlin Art Academy during Hitler’s rise to power in 1938, Charlotte’s first place prize is denied because she is a Jew, her enrollment annulled. After Kristallnacht, she is sent from Berlin into exile with her grandparents. When Charlotte’s grandmother leaps to her death, her Old World grandfather shocks her with the family secret, a legacy of female suicides. She struggles against her grandfather’s insistence that suicide, not art, is her destiny too. Haunted by the encroaching terror of the Third Reich and the threat of psychological disintegration, Charlotte clings to her determination to become a serious modernist painter, to complete her monumental work “Life? Or Theater?” and get it into safekeeping in a race against time before capture by the Nazis.

Shifting Priorities - Nanette Salomon - Bog - Stanford University Press - Plusbog.dk

This ground-breaking book offers the first sustained examination of Dutch seventeenth-century genre painting from a theoretically informed feminist perspective. Other recent works that deal with images of women in this field maintain the paradoxical combination of seeing the images as positivist reflections of “life as it was” and as emblems of virtue and vice. These reductionist practices deprive the works of their complex nature and of their place in visual culture, important frameworks that the book attempts to restore to them. Salomon expands the possibilities for understanding both familiar and unfamiliar paintings from this period by submitting them to a wide range of new and provocative questions. Paintings and prints from the first half of the century through to the second are analyzed to understand the changing social roles and values attributed to the sexes as they were introduced and reflected in the visual arts.

Charlotte Salomon. Life? or Theatre? - Evelyn Benesch - Bog - Taschen GmbH - Plusbog.dk

When German artist Charlotte Salomon (1917–1943) handed her gouache series Life? or Theater? over to a friend, she beseeched him to “take good care of it, it is my entire life.” A few months later, the five-months pregnant Charlotte was picked up by a Gestapo truck, deported to Drancy, and then on to Auschwitz, where she died upon arrival at the age 26.The work Salomon left behind is, in a very real sense, her pièce de résistance – in her own words, “something wildly eccentric.” A cycle of nearly 1,300 autobiographical gouaches, it combines creative force with pioneering personal narrative into one shattering document of self-expression.Divided into three sections, the gouaches unveil a vivid self-portrait spanning across all facets of Charlotte''s existence: from a complicated family life, marked by the suicides of nearly all female relatives; growing up in Berlin; her close relation to singing teacher Alfred Wolfsohn; the rise of the Nazis; to her exile to France in 1939. Throughout, the artist challenges these destructive forces by deploying playful pseudonyms and fantastical elements alongside emotional candor, remarkable observation, and a meticulous visual memory. Her film strip-like sequences are interspersed not only with words but also musical suggestions, making Life? or Theater? the storybook for a whole musical, years before the heyday of that genre.Without comparison, the gouaches are a triumph of personal truth and individual expression. Published here with a selection of the 400 most important pieces, Life? Or Theatre? is an unrivaled opus magnum from a great and ambitious artist, dark with her early death, but luminous with her precision, her lyricism, and her courage.

English Trade and Adventure to Russia in the Early Modern Era - Maria Salomon Arel - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

In English Trade and Adventure to Russia in the Early Modern Era, Maria Salomon Arel revisits Anglo-Russian trade in first half of the seventeenth century. Drawing on largely neglected Russian and English sources, she reconstructs the history of the Muscovy Company in a period of expanding opportunities for foreigners in Russia and of tightening links between regional markets across the globe. In her strongly revisionist telling, the Company successfully rebuilt in the aftermath of the devastating Time of Troubles, securing its uniquely privileged position in the Russian market at the hands of a newly installed tsar and Romanov dynasty keen to revive the country’s decimated economy through the stimulus of foreign trade. Meanwhile, on the London end of a trade clearly deemed relevant to commercial and shipping interests increasingly dependent on Russian naval stores and invested in the Russian re-export trades to and from the Mediterranean and Asia, the Company restructured its organization and finances with crucial royal support in furtherance of the ‘public good’ and early Stuart dynastic honor. As Arel documents, by the 1630s-40s, English trade to Russia was flourishing, as seen in the growing number of Muscovy Company men active all along the Moscow-Archangel route, their substantial commercial infrastructure, extensive supply networks among a broad swath of Russian merchants and traders, and prominent role in the exploitation of monopoly trades established to fill the tsar’s coffers with specie. The picture drawn by Arel overturns a traditional narrative on the Russia trade that has relegated the English to the shadows, demonstrating the tenacity and continued development of their enterprise at the intersection of English commercial expansion, Russian economic growth, and advancing globalization processes. Taking the narrative even further, the book opens up new perspectives and research directions by pointing to an incipient link between the Russian and transatlantic markets, while shifting the lens on the Anglo-Dutch relationship in the Russia trade away from the time-worn dichotomy of cutthroat competition to a more nuanced understanding of mutual cooperation and business association between merchants on the ground, even in the face of commercial and territorial competition between nations.

Salomons Tempel - Kevin L. Gest - Bog - Lemuel Books - Plusbog.dk

KUN NØGLEN MANGLERHVIS DU IKKE KAN FORSTÅ DISSE TING, VÉD DU NOK ...Således lyder en del af en frimurerceremoni. - Nøglen til hvad? - At vide nok om hvad? Salomon er nøglefiguren i bibelhistorien og frimureriets ceremonier. De lærde fortæller os, at Salomon ikke var hans virkelige navn, men et han blev tildelt efter sin død....... - Hvem var så Salomon? - Hvorfor blev hans navn ændret? - Hvordan påvirker det templets navn efter ham? - Hvad er/var Salomons Segl? - Hvorfor indgår Salomon, templet og seglet som dele i frimureriet? - Hvorfor bliver dette for længst ødelagte tempel stadig holdt i ære? - Var der nogen hellig viden, som religiøse organisationer ønskede at undertrykke? - Findes der en virksom understrøm, der påvirker os i dag? Tempelridderne nød Vatikanets beskyttelse. De indførte Salomons navn med dets fulde titel i deres Orden, over tusinde år efter han døde. Har det nogen betydning? Efterhånden som denne bog udvikler sig, afdækkes der en række mysterier, henvisninger findes, ubehagelige informationer afsløres.Og det hele begyndte – for længe, længe siden. * * * * * I denne bog begiver forfatteren Kevin L. Gest sig ud på en videnskabelig søgen efter frimureriets rødder og afslører, hvorledes frimureriets ceremonier og ritualer er iført antikkens slør. Det spegede væv af viden, der er indkodet i frimureriets ceremonier og bygninger, går tilbage til vores tidligste forståelse af makrokosmos – Sol, Måne, stjerner og planeterne; en viden som vore forfædre akkumulerede og gav videre. Ud af alt dette præsenterer han en indsigt i hemmelighederne omkring Salomons Tempel, Salomons visdom og Salomons Segl. Kevin Gest stiller nogle basale spørgsmål om frimurertemplet, hvor hans egen loge mødes. Svarene viser sig at være en del af guddommelig information og hellig geometri, som afsløres i de store religiøse bygninger i Europa, Afrika og Mellemøsten samt gammel visdom af den slags, der knytter sig til Pythagoras.Forfatteren brugte 12 år på den forskning, som nu er givet videre i denne bog. Han er klar over, at hans synspunkter sætter spørgsmålstegn ved nogle af de fundamentale ting, vi har lært af tidligere generationers syn og tolkning af for eksempel visse sider af Det Gamle Testamente og i særdeleshed de forhold, der relaterer sig til legenderne omkring Salomon og hans tempel.

Desperate Storytelling - Roger B. Salomon - Bog - University of Georgia Press - Plusbog.dk

Demonstrates how writers from Byron to Saul Bellow have embraced Cervantes’s vision of the artist as creative exile, born to tell tales of valor and nobility yet doomed to recognize the world’s banal reality. Forced to portray adventure in a reductive voice, these writers have immersed heroism in madness and narrative in mockery.

A Voice of Hope - Nadia Salomon - Bog - Penguin Putnam Inc - Plusbog.dk

The remarkable life of Myrlie Evers-Williams is honored and celebrated in this stunningly illustrated picture book biography of a civil rights hero--the very first of its kind. Myrlie Evers-Williams’ voice is gentle yet strong, soft yet powerful. It is a soaring song of hope. Myrlie’s voice didn’t start out that way. She was born into the segregated South and the beautiful brown color of her skin made her a target for hate. It meant she didn’t have the same opportunities as white children, and that meant her dream of playing music onstage one day would be harder to achieve. But this didn’t stop Myrlie. As she grew, she marched for equal rights alongside her husband and activist, Medgar Evers. She fought against Jim Crow laws and for voting rights. She became the chair of the NAACP, and finally she realized her dream of performing at Carnegie Hall. After that, as a voice for hope and change, Myrlie spoke at President Obama’s second inauguration, inspiring a nation. Nadia Salomon’s lyrical text and London Ladd’s exquisite artwork honor and celebrate the legendary life of Myrlie Evers-Williams and share her message of hope with the world.

The Logics of Madness - Salomon Resnik - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

In this book, the author describes his psychoanalytic work with psychotic patients and the logic that underlies their often-delusional constructions. He explores how the concept of psychosis has evolved over time and shows how the delusional world, with its proto-symbolic equations, may amount to a philosophy of life. Clinical examples taken from his own clinical work, both in individual psychoanalysis and in group therapy with schizophrenic patients, illustrate his theses. In his exploration of the psychotic ego and multi-dimensionality, he shows how his work is a continuation of the ideas initially put forward by psychoanalysts such as D. W. Winnicott, Melanie Klein and Hanna Segal, as well as how much it owes to his own analysis with Herbert Rosenfeld and supervision with Wilfred Bion. For Resnik, working with psychotic patients amounts to an "archaeology of the present". He discusses in detail such concepts as narcissistic depression, the atmosphere of the psychoanalytic encounter, the role and impact of dreams in psychosis, and the dimensionality of the psychotic universe.
