        Die amerikanische Ausdruckswelt

        by José Lezama Lima, Gerhard Poppenberg, José Prats Sariol, Carlos Fuentes

        José Lezama Lima (1910 - 1976) wurde in La Habana geboren. Er studierte Jura und praktizierte als Rechtsanwalt - lebenserhaltender Nebenberuf dieses umfassend gebildeten und belesenen Dichters. Er wurde später zum Leiter der Literatur- und Publikationsabteilung des Consejo Nacional de Cultura, des kubanischen Kulturrates, und ab 1962 betätigte er sich als Vizepräsident des kubanischen Schriftsteller- und Künstlerverbandes (UNEAC). Außerdem wurde er zum Assessor im Literaturinstitut der Academia de Ciencias, der Wissenschaftsakademie, ernannt. Er verließ Kuba insgesamt nur zweimal, als er 1949 Jamaika und 1950 Mexiko besuchte. Seinem Roman Paradiso (1966), der ihm weltweite Anerkennung einbrachte, waren seit 1937 avantgardistische Lyrik und Essays vorausgegangen. Lezama Lima gab die literarische Zeitschrift Orígenes heraus, die bald zu den wichtigsten hispanoamerikanischen Kulturzeitschriften zählte. Sowohl Paradiso als auch Orígenes waren von außerordentlich hoher Bedeutung für das kubanische Geistesleben und entwickelten sich zu starken Bezugspunkten für das literarische Schaffen in Kuba und Lateinamerika. Lezama Lima gab außerdem die Zeitschriften Verbum (1937), Espuela de Plata (1939- 41) und Nadie parecía (1942- 44) heraus. In seinem ebenfalls berühmten Essay La expresión americana (dt. Die amerikanische Ausdruckswelt) - wie alle Werke von Lezama Lima sehr komplex und außerordentlich gebildet - geht er der lateinamerikanischen kulturellen Identität nach und prägt für sie den Begriff des "Barocken". Julio Cortázar und Mario Vargas Llosa haben, was seine Bedeutung für die Weltliteratur angeht, den Roman Paradiso mit Marcel Prousts Auf der Suche nach den verlorenen Zeit und James Joyces Ulysses verglichen

        Complete Works of Yungang Grottoes

        by Zhang Zhuo

        The Complete Works of Yungang Grottoes is a collection of photographic materials reflecting different periods, different caves, different artistic styles and artistic characteristics of Yungang Grottoes. It contains 20 volumes, each presenting a single Yungang cave with more than 400 pictures and several professional academic papers on the cultural and artistic characteristics of caves.   As a royal art project symbolizing the imperial power of Tuoba in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Yungang Grottoes are large in scale, rich in content, exquisite in carving, and vivid in appearance. They absorb and integrate the diverse cultures of ancient nationalities, and represent the highest level of carving in the world in the 5th century. In 2001, the Yungang Grottoes were listed on the World Heritage List.   The Complete Works of Yungang Grottoes displays the treasures of the Yungang Grottoes in an unprecedented scale, high-definition, and panoramic view, which is regarded as a recording and preserving archive of great values. For more than 1500 years, the statues of the Yungang Grottoes have been weathered and ruined by wind and rain. In the past, most of the photography focused on the contemporarily perfect Buddha statues, but the remaining statues, even the best-preserved ones, are disappearing year by year from people's sight. The Complete Works of Yungang Grottoes collects image data of them, makes the documentary files, and has them published to the public, in this way retaining the perfect art in changes.

        Music, scholasticism and reform

        Salian Germany 1024–1125

        by T. J. H. McCarthy

        This fascinating study looks at music and its intellectual context in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. Drawing on a rich body of theoretical literature and manuscript sources, this book paints a detailed picture of the study of music in eleventh-and early twelfth-century Germany. It focuses on the activity of a group of prominent intellectuals based in the monastic and cathedral schools of the German Kingdom, charting their sources and shared concerns, while subtly examining their reception and modification of each others' ideas. Distilling a considerable amount of German scholarship, it situates music in its proper place among other intellectual developments that took place in eleventh-century Germany. This book is above all a study of motivations and thought processes of a group of medieval thinkers: it and will appeal to specialist and non-specialist ecclesiastical, intellectual and cultural historians, as well as to historians of music and of medieval culture.
