Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - The essays collected in Contemporary Painting in Context examine the transformation and expansion of the field of painting over the last decades in relation to the more general lines of development in contemporary culture and visuality. The contributors pose questions, such as: How do paintings present themselves to us today How are they 'framed' experientially, institutionally, and culturally In which way can paintings of today be said to reflect, and reflect upon, the historical transformations of culture, visuality, image production, and consumption Is it possible to explain some of the changes and extensions of the field of painting by placing it in the wider context of cultural history or visual culture studies The book is divided into five parts, with each pursuing a distinct line of inquiry: how to situate painting in a wider cultural context \* how to rethink the question of the ontology of painting \* how to define 'painting' today by taking into consideration that the disci.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - 2 books & a CD. This study provides a comprehensive description of the rich song culture of the people in the Thule area in Greenland, the Inughuit. In 1937 the archaeologist and folklorist Erik Holtved recorded 134 traditional songs in Thule. Transcriptions and scientific processing of this collection constitute the nucleus of the work. Another collection of Inughuit songs was recorded in 1962 for The Danish Folklore Archives by Bent Jensen and the author. The songs from both collections are presented and notated in full length and also with analyses of a representative stanza from each song. Descriptions are given of performing habits, singing methods, drum construction and handling, as well as historical and recent data. Searching for resemblances among other Inuit groups produced transcriptions and analyses of many traditional Inuit Songs from different localities in Canada. It was discovered that characteristic traits of the form and melody types of the Inughuit are linked to Canadian Inuit groups in southern Baffin Island and among the Copper Inuit in northern Canada, documenting particular areas of origin, and also giving information about migration routes. Many of the songs are presented on the enclosed CD.
