| gilt raf simons: Making It Modern Linda Nochlin, 2022-03-08 A selection of key essays on art from the nineteenth century to the present day by one of the most influential voices in art history. This illustrated collection of essays brings together some of art historian Linda Nochlin’s most important writings on modernism and modernity from across her six-decade career. Before the publication of her seminal essay on feminism in art, “Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?,” she had already firmly established herself as a major practitioner of a politically sophisticated and class-conscious social art history. Nochlin was part of an important cohort of scholars writing on modernity, determined to rethink the narratives of the subject under the pressure of contemporary events such as student uprisings, the women’s liberation movement, and the Vietnam War, with the help of politically engaged literary criticism that was emerging at the same time. Nochlin embraced Charles Baudelaire’s conviction that modernity is meant to be of one’s time—and that the role of an art historian was to understand the art of the past not only in its own historical context but according to the urgencies of the contemporary world. From academic debates about the nude in the eighteenth century to the work of Robert Gober in the twenty-first, whatever she turned her analytic eye to was conceived as the art of the now. Including seven previously unpublished pieces, this collection highlights the breadth and diversity of Nochlin’s output across the decades, including discussions on colonialism, fashion, and sex. |

It narrates Dior's rich history, including Christian Dior's early influences, insights into the Dior atelier workrooms, the role that accessories and perfume have played in expressing the complete Dior look and the milestones of its six successive designers following Dior's sudden death in 1957. Highlights include examples from Christian Dior's iconic spring 1947 New Look collection, magnificent displays of Dior's signature ball gowns and evening dresses, as well as designs from the inaugural couture collection of the House's first female head designer, Maria Grazia Chiuri. Sumptuous in its design, this large-format hardback is led by full-page photography of works, and historical and contextual imagery.

Alicia Kühl zeigt, dass das Neue nicht mehr im Modedesign, sondern im Modenschaudesign behauptet wird. In ihrer modetheoretisch fundierten Arbeit, für die sie zudem Theorien des Performativen, des Raumes, der Atmosphären und des Neuen hinzuzieht, untersucht sie Modenschauen ausgewählter Haute-Couture-und Prêt-à-porter-Designer_innen der letzten 30 Jahre und zeichnet nach, inwieweit die in ihnen erzeugten Atmosphären als Lösung einer vestimentären »Inventionsbredouille« eingesetzt werden. Die Studie hinterfragt erstmals die Funktion und Position der Modenschau innerhalb des Modezyklus, was auch eine Neubewertung der Rolle der Kleidung nach sich zieht. |

| gilt raf simons: Minimale Männlichkeit Nora Weinelt, 2016-05-23 Ein modischer Mann – schon die Formulierung wirkt unpassend. Das ist kein Zufall, sondern historisch bedingt: Seit Ende der Aristokratie in Europa hat Mode immer das Andere der Moderne und damit das Andere der Männlichkeit dargestellt. Während die Frau sich herausputzte, um den Reichtum ihres Mannes der Öffentlichkeit zu präsentieren, trug er schmucklose Dreiteiler in gedeckten Farben. Was damals als 'große männliche Entsagung' galt, hat sich lange Zeit kaum verändert. Sinnbildlich für diese Entwicklung der Männermode steht der Anzug als männliches Kleidungsstück par excellence. Minimale Männlichkeit zeichnet die Geschichte des Anzugs bis zu den jüngsten Kollektionen der Designer Raf Simons und Hedi Slimane nach. Ihre Designs bedeuten mehr als die Hinwendung zu einer androgynen Ästhetik: Sie greifen auf Prinzipien zurück, die bis dato der Frauenmode vorbehalten waren. Damit ist der Anzug als Anti-Mode selbst modisch geworden. Der Essay zeigt, weshalb dem Anzug als Form seine Konstanz historisch eingeschrieben ist, und skizziert die soziale und politische Dominanz eines 'männlichen Prinzips' in der Mode. Schließlich analysiert er die Veränderungen des Anzugs in den letzten beiden Jahrzehnten und deren Auswirkungen auf ein zeitgenössisches Männerbild. |

But with a diminishing role to play in world affairs, and a reduction in the number of aircraft carriers, the Navy disposed of its Buccaneers to the RAF, where they went on to become one of the Force's most successful and best-loved aircraft. This complete history of the Buccaneer takes the reader from first proposals and the original production S.1 to the final fling of the type as a laser target aircraft during the first Gulf War. |

In this insightful new biography of Anne Lefroy, Judy Stove investigates the life of a writer who had a direct and undeniable influence on the life and works of Jane Austen. Jane shared some of her earliest writings with Anne, who became a devoted confidant; it is believed that their friendship was an essential component in their creativity. As a published female writer, Anne was an immense source of inspiration to Jane as she developed her own talents. Judy Stove, a member of the Jane Austen Society of Australia, brings a wealth of insight to this illuminating history of a literary friendship. She has uncovered fascinating snippets of information relating to Anne Lefroy’s circle, and her book addresses developments across a period of great social and political change. Setting Lefroy’s life in context, she looks at the war against Napoleon and illustrates evolutions in healthcare as well as changes in religious beliefs and practices that shaped the world of these remarkable women. |
| gilt raf simons: A Phoenician-Punic Grammar Charles R. Krahmalkov, 2015-11-02 Carefully selected examples from texts and dialects of the whole Phoenician-Punic period bring to life the grammatical description of this language. Included are fully vocalized Punic and Neo-Punic inscriptions of Roman Tripolitiana in Latin orthography as well as the literary fragments of Punic drama as found in Plautus' comedy Poenulus. This classical descriptive grammar of the Phoenician-Punic language (1200 BCE - 350 CE) presents the reader with a full picture: its phonology, orthography, morphology, syntax and usage. Its history and its various dialects are dealt with in an introduction. Hebraists and Semitists will find the description of the verbal system of particular interest to them, especially that of the literary language, which holds that tense and aspect reference of a given form of the verb is largely a function of syntax, not morphology. Much of this grammatical material is presented here for the first time. |

| gilt raf simons: Genius at Play Siobhan Roberts, 2024-10-29 A multifaceted biography of a brilliant mathematician and iconoclast A mathematician unlike any other, John Horton Conway (1937–2020) possessed a rock star’s charisma, a polymath’s promiscuous curiosity, and a sly sense of humor. Conway found fame as a barefoot professor at Cambridge, where he discovered the Conway groups in mathematical symmetry and the aptly named surreal numbers. He also invented the cult classic Game of Life, a cellular automaton that demonstrates how simplicity generates complexity—and provides an analogy for mathematics and the entire universe. Moving to Princeton in 1987, Conway used ropes, dice, pennies, coat hangers, and the occasional Slinky to illustrate his winning imagination and share his nerdish delights. Genius at Play tells the story of this ambassador-at-large for the beauties and joys of mathematics, lays bare Conway’s personal and professional idiosyncrasies, and offers an intimate look into the mind of one of the twentieth century’s most endearing and original intellectuals. |

[Our Young Man] speeds you along with its winningly hectic prose. --The New York Times Book Review Our Young Man follows the life of a gorgeous Frenchman, Guy, as he goes from the industrial city of Clermont-Ferrand to the top of the modeling profession in New York City's fashion world, becoming the darling of Fire Island's gay community. Like Wilde's Dorian Grey, Guy never seems to age; at thirty-five he is still modeling, still enjoying lavish gifts from older men who believe he's twenty-three--though their attentions always come at a price. Ambivalently, Guy lets them believe, driven especially by the memory of growing up poor, until he finds he needs the lie to secure not only wealth, but love itself. Surveying the full spectrum of gay amorous life through the disco era and into the age of AIDS, Edmund White (who worked at Vogue for ten years) explores the power of physical beauty--to fascinate, to enslave, and to deceive--with sparkling wit and pathos. |
