Beschreibung

Statues in Cities explores the profound connection between urban sculptures and the identity of cities. It examines how these works of public art contribute to a city's historical narrative and collective memory, acting as more than mere decorations.

 
The book argues that statues embody a city's values and power structures, prompting ongoing conversations about commemoration and evolving identity. For instance, the book will discuss how some statues, initially erected to celebrate historical figures, have become focal points of controversy, sparking debates about historical accuracy and representation.

 
The book progresses logically, beginning with foundational concepts of art history and urban planning, before delving into case studies that analyze the historical, social, and artistic contexts of statues in various cities. It investigates the political use of statues and the contemporary debates surrounding their presence.

 
By understanding how these urban sculptures shape cultural landscapes and influence public perception, readers can gain a deeper appreciation for the complex layers of urban history. This fresh perspective treats statues as active agents in shaping urban life, offering valuable insights for city planners, policymakers, and anyone interested in the cultural landscape.

Social Character in a Mexican...

Erich Fromm

“[A] groundbreaking study combining psychoanalytical and anthropological methods to analyse the impact of industrialization on ‘peasants.’” —Booknews The renowned psychoanalyst Erich Fromm analyzed more than just general society and societal processes. Together with Michael Maccoby, he completed a study of Mexican villagers to empirically illustrate how historical, economic, and social requirements determine behavior.Social Character in a Mexican Village does much more than introduce a new approach to the analysis of social phenomena. It throws new light on one of the world’s most pressing problems, the impact of the industrialized world on the traditional character of the laboring class. Unanimously, the book is an outstanding introduction to Fromm’s concept of social character. “Fromm and Maccoby have written a study of crucial importance.” —Richard J. Barnet, Institute for Policy Studies

The Conquest of Byzantium

Stefan Zweig

The conquest of Constantinople in 1453 by a besieging army of around 80,000 men led by the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II ended the Byzantine Empire. The city's defense was in the hands of Emperor Constantine XI, who had 7,000 to 10,000 soldiers at his disposal and, likely, fell during the last storm on the city. The fall of the Byzantine Empire also marked the final rise of the Ottoman Empire to become a major power. The conquest has a high symbolic value in both Turkish and Western European reception; Depending on one's perspective, it is viewed as evidence of imperial greatness or as a beacon of decay and demise. In historiography, the conquest of Constantinople is sometimes cited as one of the events that marked the transition from medieval Europe to modern times.
