Explorations of the "formering" of the West in contemporary art in the post-communist, postcolonial, posthuman, post-ideological, and posthistorical era.What has become of the so-called West after the Cold War? Why hasn't the West simply become "former," as has its supposed counterpart, the "former East"? In this book, artists, thinkers, and activists explore the repercussions of the political, cultural, and economic events of 1989 on both art and the contemporary. The culmination of an eight-year curatorial research experiment, Former West imagines a world beyond our immediate condition. The writings, visual essays, and conversations in Former West-more than seventy diverse contributions with global scope-unfold a tangled cartography far more complex than the simplistic dichotomy of East vs. West. In fact, the Cold War was a contest not between two ideological blocs but between two variants of Western modernity. It is this conceptual "Westcentrism" that a "formering" of the West seeks to undo.The contributions revisit contemporary debates through the lens of a "former West." They rethink conceptions of time and space dominating the legacy of the 1989-1990 revolutions in the former East, and critique historical periodization of the contemporary. The contributors map the political economy and social relations of the contemporary, consider the implications of algorithmic cultures and the posthuman condition, and discuss notions of solidarity-the difficulty in constructing a new "we" despite migration, the refugee crisis, and the global class recomposition. Can art institute the contemporary it envisions, and live as if it were possible?Contributors include Nancy Adajania, Edit Andras, Athena Athanasiou, Zygmunt Bauman, Dave Beech, Brett Bloom, Rosi Braidotti, Susan Buck-Morss, Campus in Camps, Dipesh Chakrabarty, Chto Delat?/What is to be done?, Jodi Dean, Boaventura de Sousa Santos, Angela Dimitrakaki, Dilar Dirik, Marlene Dumas, Keller Easterling, Charles Esche, Okwui Enwezor, Silvia Federici, Mark Fisher, Federica Giardini and Anna Simone, Boris Groys, Gulf Labor Coalition, Stefano Harney, Sharon Hayes, Brian Holmes, Tung-Hui Hu, Wendy Hui Kyong Chun, Sami Khatib, Delaine Le Bas, Boaz Levin and Vera Tollmann, Isabell Lorey, Sven Lutticken, Ewa Majewska, Suhail Malik, Artemy Magun, Teresa Margolles, Achille Mbembe, Laura McLean, Cuauhtemoc Medina, Sandro Mezzadra, Walter D.

An evocative, glamorous look at the golden years of Las Vegas, captured in more than 125 lush color and black-and-white photographs. "I love that town. No clocks. No locks. No restrictions."-Marlene Dietrich The playground in the desert built by the mob and transformed by Howard Hughes, the "fabulous, extraordinary madhouse," that is Las Vegas, Nevada, has long been regarded as the Entertainment Capital of the World. During the post-war boom years, no place was as fascinating as Vegas. Distinguished by millions of colorful neon lights, the sounds of rhumba music, and the clink of silver dollars, Vegas was a recreational colony for Hollywood's most glamorous and a dream destination for thousands of ordinary Americans. Vegas Gold vividly showcases the glitz, glamour, and charm of Sin City's golden years, from the 1950s to the 1980s. An adoring ode to this ultimate adult playground, it celebrates the best of old Las Vegas-the Sands Hotel, the Stardust, Fremont Street, the Golden Nugget, the Riviera Hotel, the Desert Inn, and the Horseshoe-and its legendary headliners, including Frank Sinatra, Marlene Dietrich, Elvis Presley, Liberace, Ann-Margret, Sammy Davis Jr.,Eartha Kitt, Noel Coward, and of course, the gorgeous Vegas showgirls. Framed by quotes and short essays that profile the marquee names that made Las Vegas the ultimate destination, the legendary years of this magical city live on in all their glory in Vegas Gold.

Marlene thinks the eighties are going to be stupendous. Her sister Joyce has her doubts. Her daughter Angie is just frightened. Since its premiere in 1982, Top Girls has become a seminal play of the modern theatre. Set during a period of British politics dominated by the presence of the newly elected Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, Churchill’s play prompts us to question our notions of women's success and solidarity. Its sharp look at the society and politics of the 1980s is combined with a timeless examination of women's choices and restrictions regarding career and family. This new Student Edition features an introduction by Sophie Bush, Senior Lecturer at Sheffield Hallam University, UK prepared with the contemporary student in mind.

Når vennskap blir et mareritt.Min venn, Alice er en psykologisk thriller som utforsker forstyrrede menneskesinn og de fatale konsekvensene dette kan utløse. Fortellingen er visuell og fengslende. I sentrum står en uløst babyforsvinningssak fra 90-tallet, og venninnene Jessie og Alice, som sammen har en ekstrem interesse for True Crime-saker. Men når Alice blir helt besatt av å løse «den sovende baby-saken», opplever Jessie at vennskapet med Alice blir mer og mer truende. Parallelt følger vi historien om lille Izzy som 5 år gammel blir bortført av en tenåring. Kidnapperens mor har som mål at Izzy skal delta og vinne de store pengepremiene i skjønnhetskonkurransene for barn. Norske Mally Marlene debuterte med den selvpubliserte spenningsromanen Dr. Stravinsky (2021), som ble innkjøpt av Kulturrådet og var delfinalist i Årets Ulest. Hun har en BFA (bachelor of fine arts) i film fra Long Island University i New York og tar for tiden en master i screenwriting i London.

It was the decade of daring Expressionist canvases, of brilliant book design, of the Bauhaus total work of art, of pioneering psychology, of drag balls, cabaret, Metropolis, and Marlene Dietrich's rising star in theater and silent film. Between the paroxysms of two world wars, Berlin in the 1920s was a carpe diem cultural heyday, replete with groundbreaking art, invention, and thought.This book immerses readers in the freewheeling spirit of Berlin's Weimar age. Through exemplary works in painting, sculpture, architecture, graphic design, photography, and film, we uncover the innovations, ideas, and precious dreams that characterized this unique cultural window. We take in the jazz bars and dance halls; the crowded kinos and flapper fashion; the advances in technology and transport; the radio towers and rumbling trams and trains; the soaring buildings; the cinematic masterworks; and the newly independent women who smoked cigarettes, wore their hair short, and earned their own money.Featured works in this vivid cultural portrait include Hannah Hoech's The Journalists; Lotte Jacobi's Hands on Typewriter; Otto Dix's Portrait of the Journalist Sylvia von Harden; Peter Behrens's project of theAlexanderplatz; and Josef von Sternberg's The Blue Angel, starring Dietrich as cabaret performer Lola Lola. Along the way, we explore both the utopian yearnings and the more ominous economic and political realities which fueled the era's escapist, idealistic, or reactionary masterworks. Behind the bright lights and glitter dresses, we see the inflation, factory labor, and fragile political consensus that lurked beneath this golden era and would eventually spell its savage end with the rise of National Socialism.

Dr. Stravinsky satte foten ned på det ujevne underlaget av brostein, kjente etter om grunnen var stabil nok til å bygge en fremtid på. Han lot blikket saumfare den travle handlegaten og menneskemylderet. Innbyggerne ville snart komme krypende - til kontoret hans for å dempe smertene på dagtid, og til The Scope for å slukke sorgene sine så fort mørket hadde falt. Livet i den lille engelske kystbyen vil aldri bli som før, særlig ikke for danseren Miriam. Velkommen inn i et moderne 1920-tallsunivers, hvor ryktene er syrligere enn drinkene, drivkraften sterkere enn medisinene og drømmene større enn mulighetene. Dr. Stravinsky er en historie om hengivenhet, identitet og rotløshet. Om det å holde ut, gi slipp og ikke miste kontrollen, selv under de mest ukontrollerbare omstendigheter. Dr. Stravinsky er en lunefull og gripende roman, med et snev av det bisarre, der komplekse karakterer møter etiske kvaler du sent vil glemme.

Boka handler om gymnaslærer Ditten, kalt "Dritten". Hans muligheter til å ta igjen overfor elevene er små, og det er ham selv som rammes hardest når han omsider vil ta hevn. Han rammes av forelskelse i kabaretsangerinnen Rosa Frølich. Historien om den borgerlige lektors fall og moralske oppløsning er en satire over forfatterens samtidige Tyskland. Filmatisert i 1930, med Marlene Dietrich i en av hovedrollene.

Først tok Torgrim Eggen Manhattan, og nå erobrer han Berlin. Boken Berlin er på samme måte som boken Manhattan fra 2007 et byportrett og moderne kulturhistorie, og han følger Berlin fra keiserens fall i 1918 fram til i dag. Men historien er av en slik natur at den er mindre lystig denne gangen, mer melodrama enn komedie. I det 20. århundret var Berlin verdens brennpunkt. Fra revolusjonen, via nazismen og den kalde krigen til en gjenforent by. Fremdeles er det ingen europeisk hovedstad som angår oss mer. Boka skildrer byens brutale historie, men også noen av dens usedvanlige personligheter. Du møter skurker og helter, genier og gudinner: Marlene Dietrich, Joseph Goebbels, Rosa Luxemburg, Andreas Baader, Leni Riefenstahl, Bertolt Brecht, Hildegard Knef, Kurt Tucholsky, Fritz Lang, Käthe Kollwitz, Willy Brandt, Albert Speer, Nina Hagen, Erich Mielke, David Bowie og Blixa Bargeld.

For Edvard Munch (1863-1944), painting was an act of self-liberation. His treatments of fear, desperation, and death still exert a powerful visual and psychological effect on modern viewers. Of all Munch's paintings, "The Scream" (1893), representing a figure tortured by horror, is the most well-known-and certainly one of the most expressive. The artist reflected his innermost feelings in his work: "In reality, my art is a free confession, an attempt to clarify to myself my own relation to life..." Although Edvard Munch cannot be clearly identified with any single movement, he is deemed a pioneer of Expressionism. Every book in TASCHEN's "Basic Art Series" features: a detailed chronological summary of the artist's life and work, covering the cultural and historical importance of the artist; approximately 100 color illustrations with explanatory captions; and a concise biography.
