Bndicte Savoy (251 results)

Hardback. Condition: Good. A major new history of how African nations, starting in the 1960s, sought to reclaim the art looted by Western colonial powers For decades, African nations have fought for the return of countless works of art stolen during the colonial era and placed in Western museums. In Africa?s Struggle for Its Art, Bénédicte Savoy brings to light this largely unknown but deeply important history. One of the world?s foremost experts on restitution and cultural heritage, Savoy investigates extensive, previously unpublished sources to reveal that the roots of the struggle extend much further back than prominent recent debates indicate, and that these efforts were covered up by myriad opponents.Shortly after 1960, when eighteen former colonies in Africa gained independence, a movement to pursue repatriation was spearheaded by African intellectual and political classes. Savoy looks at pivotal events, including the watershed speech delivered at the UN General Assembly by Zaire?s president, Mobutu Sese Seko, which started the debate regarding restitution of colonial-era assets and resulted in the first UN resolution on the subject. She examines how German museums tried to withhold information about their inventory and how the British Parliament failed to pass a proposed amendment to the British Museum Act, which protected the country's collections. Savoy concludes in the mid-1980s, when African nations enacted the first laws focusing on the protection of their cultural heritage.Making the case for why restitution is essential to any future relationship between African countries and the West, Africa?s Struggle for Its Art will shape conversations around these crucial issues for years to come.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Als die achtzehnjährige Berlinerin Helmina von Chézy im Jahre 1801 in Paris eintrifft, hat die Absicherung ihres Lebensunterhalts höchste Priorität. So etabliert sie sich rasch als kompetente Journalistin, verfasst für deutsche Blätter, darunter Schlegels Europa, unzählige Beiträge über das quirlige Leben in der französischen Hauptstadt, befreundet sich dabei mit allen, die in Paris den kulturellen Ton angeben, bis sie 1804 beschließt, das große zusammenhängende Buch zu schreiben: Leben und Kunst in Paris seit Napoleon I. Dieses Werk, erschienen in Weimar in den bewegten Jahren 1805/07, erzählt aus der Perspektive und mit dem jugendlichen Ernst einer Anfang zwanzigjährigen Deutschen eine aufregende Geschichte von ästhetischem Suchen und Finden in den gigantischen, aus ganz Europa nach Paris zusammengebrachten Sammlungen im Louvre, der Nationalbibliothek und den kaiserlichen Schlössern. Es gibt Einblicke in die junge Malerszene der napoleonischen Jahre, formuliert gewagte Überlegungen zur Stellung von Frauen, Müttern und armen Leuten im post-revolutionären Frankreich, begeistert sich für mittelalterliche und orientalische Dichtung . Chézys jugendliches Werk ist die bedeutendste Quelle in deutscher Sprache über das kulturelle Leben in Paris um 1800, das einzigartige Porträt einer neuen Hauptstadt des öffentlichen Wissens und der freien Kunstwahrnehmung. Nach zweihundert Jahren wird dieses gewaltige Buch hier nun mit ausführlichen Kommentaren dem Leser und der Forschung wieder zugänglich gemacht.
