Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - 'Conflicts With Oblivion' is a collection of insightful biographical essays that explore the themes of historical reputation and the enduring struggle of individuals to be remembered by posterity. Written by the noted historian Wilbur Cortez Abbott, this work presents a series of meticulously crafted portraits of various historical figures, examining how their legacies have been shaped, distorted, or preserved over time.The volume delves into the lives of diverse personalities, including Samuel Pepys, Benjamin Disraeli, and other significant figures, focusing on the tension between their contemporary impact and their eventual place in the historical record. Abbott's analysis goes beyond simple biography; he investigates the nature of fame itself and the arbitrary forces that decide which names remain in the public consciousness and which fade into obscurity. With a scholarly yet accessible prose style, the author provides a profound meditation on the art of history and the persistence of the human spirit against the tides of time.

Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Over the past three years, monuments have been toppled or re-coded around the world, the latest against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine. The contributions in this volume address the complex network of relations between monuments - memory - city in Central- and South-Eastern Europe from a long-term perspective. Their focus is on the significance and use of (national) art from the nineteenth century onwards, especially during the Second World War and in the individual (socialist) countries. The critical examination of the different visual articulations of historical memory and of different complexes of 'dissonant heritage' follows a multidisciplinary approach, including art history, cultural memory studies, historical visual studies, literary criticism, architectural history and heritage protection.The case studies on cities located today in Croatia, Georgia, Germany, Italy, Northern Macedonia, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovenia and Ukraine were written by: Robert Born (Oldenburg), Daria Brasca (Milano & Zürich), Dragan Damjanovic (Zagreb), Irene Giviashvili (Tbilisi & Florence), Donata Levi (Udine), Nenad Makuljevic (Belgrade), Barbara Kristina Murovec (Florence & Munich), Patricia Pocanic (Zagreb), Milan Popadic (Belgrade), Helena Rozman (Krsko), Giovanni Rubino (Rome), Anke Schlecht (Nürnberg), Svetlana Smolcic (Belgrade), Dirk Suckow (Berlin), Iain B. Whyte (Edinburgh), and Tanja Zimmermann (Leipzig).Erscheint zugleich als Bd. 72 in der Reihe Veröffentlichungen des Zentralinstituts für Kunstgeschichte in München.…
