Baudelaire's Le Spleen de Paris Shifting Perspectives

Baudelaire's Le Spleen de Paris Shifting Perspectives

Maria Scott's study of the operation of irony in Baudelaire's Le Spleen de Paris contends that the principal target of the collection's spleen is its own readership. Baudelaire as one of the most perceptive cultural commentators of the nineteenth century was naturally very keenly aware of the growing dominance of the bourgeoisie in France not least as a market for art and literature. Despite being dependent on this market for his own writing the poet was highly critical of bourgeois values and attitudes. Scott builds on existing criticism of the collection to argue that these are indirectly mocked in Le Spleen de Paris often in the person of the poet's supposed textual alter ego. The contention is that the prose poems betray the trust of readers by way of an apparent transparency of meaning that functions to blind us to their embedded irony. Though focused on Le Spleen de Paris Scott's study engages with the full range of Baudelaire's writings including his art and literary criticism. Her book will be of interest not only to Baudelaire scholars but also to those engaged more generally with nineteenth-century French culture. | Baudelaire's Le Spleen de Paris Shifting Perspectives

Architecture and the Historical Imagination Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc 1814–1879

Architecture and the Historical Imagination Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc 1814–1879

Hailed as one of the key theoreticians of modernism Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc was also the most renowned restoration architect of his age a celebrated medieval archaeologist and a fervent champion of Gothic revivalism. He published some of the most influential texts in the history of modern architecture such as the Dictionnaire raisonné de l’architecture fran§aise du XIe au XVIe siècle and Entretiens sur l’architecture but also studies on warfare geology and racial history. Martin Bressani expertly traces Viollet-le-Duc’s complex intellectual development mapping the attitudes he adopted toward the past showing how restoration in all its layered meaning shaped his outlook. Through his life journey we follow the route by which the technological subject was born out of nineteenth-century historicism. | Architecture and the Historical Imagination Eugène-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc 1814–1879

German Façade Design Traditions of Screening from 1500 to Modernism

German Façade Design Traditions of Screening from 1500 to Modernism

German architecture prior to the modern period has received less systemic analytical study than that of Italy France and Britain. Scholarly discussion of broad traditions or continuities within Germanic or Central European façade design is even sparser. Baroque era studies of the region mostly devote themselves to isolated architects monuments or movements. Modernism's advent decisively changed this: Germanic architecture enjoyed sudden ascendancy. Yet even so study specifically of that region's façades still lagged – nothing compares to the dozens of treatments of Le Corbusier's façade systems for example and how these juxtapose with French neoclassical or Italian Renaissance methods. Given the paucity of multi-period studies one can be forgiven for believing Germany's effervescence of radical modern works seems unprecedented. This book takes up these multiple quandaries. It identifies and documents a previously unrecognized compositional tradition - characterized here as the 'screen façade' – and posits it as a counter-narrative critiquing the essentialist 'authentic' canon currently dominant in Western architectural history. By crossing evenly over the dividing line between the historical and modern periods it offers valuable insights on indigenous roots underlying some aspects of Germany's invigorating early twentieth-century architectural developments. The book chronologically examines 400 years of closely related facades concentrated in Germany but also found in Austria the Czech Republic German-speaking Switzerland and nearby areas of Central Europe. While nearly 75 buildings are mentioned and illustrated a dozen are given extensive analysis and the book focuses on the works of three architects – Schinkel Behrens and Mies. Relationships between examples of these three architects' façades far transcend mere homage amongst masters. Glimmers of the system they eventually codify are apparent as early as at Heidelberg Castle in 1559 and Nürnberg's Rathaus in 1622. The book argues that in Germany northern Gothic affinities for bisection intense repetition and rote aggregation intersected with southern Classical affinities for symmetry hierarchy and centrality thereby spawning a unique hybrid product – the screen. Instead of graphic formality this study is guided by on-site perceptions propositional contrasts means of approach interpretive conflicts and emotion and it relates the design of these façades to concepts proposed by contemporary philosophers including Novalis Hegel Nietzsche Freud Adorno and most importantly Gadamer on hermeneutics. | German Façade Design Traditions of Screening from 1500 to Modernism
