Brighton has transformed itself several times since the Middle
Ages: once a small fishing village, it became the most fashionable
seaside resort in the 18th century, a thriving tourist destination
in the railway age and a liberal, multicultural university city in
the 20th century. 200 years ago the party-loving King George IV
built himself the playground of all royal playgrounds here: an
oriental fantasy of a palace with onion-shaped domes and an exotic
faux-Chinese interior, the Royal Pavilion. Today Brighton, together
with its surroundings, is culturally one of the most exciting
places in Britain, boasting an impressive coast, lined with chalk
cliffs and the rolling South Downs as a backdrop. Just 10
kilometres east of Brighton is the picturesque county town of
Lewes, with a stunning array of historic buildings, including an
11th-century Norman castle. The people of Lewes are known for their
revolutionary spirit, and host the biggest bonfire celebration in
the country every year on 5 November.
A Cultural History of Color in the Age of Industry covers the
period 1800 to 1920, when the world embraced color like never
before. Inventions, such as steam power, lithography, photography,
electricity, motor cars, aviation, and cheaper color printing, all
contributed to a new exuberance about color. Available pigments and
colored products - made possible by new technologies, industrial
manufacturing, commercialization, and urbanization - also greatly
increased, as did illustrated printed literature for the mass
market. Color, both literally and metaphorically, was splashed
around, and became an expressive tool for artists, designers, and
writers. Color shapes an individual's experience of the world and
also how society gives particular spaces, objects, and moments
meaning. The 6 volume set of the Cultural History of Color examines
how color has been created, traded, used, and interpreted over the
last 5000 years. The themes covered in each volume are color
philosophy and science; color technology and trade; power and
identity; religion and ritual; body and clothing; language and
psychology; literature and the performing arts; art; architecture
and interiors; and artefacts. Alexandra Loske is Curator at the
Royal Pavilion and Museums, Brighton, UK Volume 5 in the Cultural
History of Color set. General Editors: Carole P. Biggam and Kirsten

Discover the story of colour through the significant scientific
discoveries and key artist's works over 400 years. From Isaac
Newton's investigations through to Olafur Eliasson's experiential
creations, this stunning book documents the fascinating story of
colour with an extraordinary collection of original colour material
that includes charts, wheels, artists' palettes, swatches and
schemes. "In 1704, the scientist Isaac Newton published Opticks,
the result of many years of researching light and colour. By
splitting white light, Newton identified the visible range of
colours, or the rainbow spectrum. In Opticks, he built a colour
system around his findings, and he visualised this system in a
circular shape, making it one of the first printed colour wheels.
The influence of Newton and his followers, combined with the
invention of many new pigments as well as watercolours in moist
cake form, had made painting with colour an exciting occupation not
just for serious artists but also for a much wider audience. The
colour revolution had begun." Contents Introduction 1. Unravelling

Magisterarbeit aus dem Jahr 1997 im Fachbereich Sozialpadagogik /
Sozialarbeit, Note: 2,0, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitat Munchen
(unbekannt, Musikpadagogik), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract:
Inhaltsangabe: Einleitung: Einleitend wird der Begriff Jugend als
sozialpadagogisches Aufgabenfeld umrissen und eine mogliche
Anwendung von Musik aufgezeigt. Daraufhin werden die Wirkungen von
Musik allgemein und fur den Jugendlichen insbesondere aufgezeigt.
Dabei finden die Aspekte Personlichkeitsentwicklung, psychische und
physische Musikauswirkungen, Musik als Kommunikationsphanomen sowie
der Zusammenhang von Musikerleben und Korpersprache Beachtung. Als
Hauptaspekte sozialpadagogischer Arbeit kristallisieren sich
soziale Interaktion und kommunikative Moglichkeiten durch
Musikerleben heraus, deren Ursachen im besonderen Verhaltnis der
Jugendlichen zur Musik liegen. Die sozialpadagogisch initiierte
Diskothek der offenen Jugendarbeit kann als Ort gezielter
sozial-kompensatorischer Einflussnahme, einen Ausgangspunkt fur
eine Reihe von Aktionen mit Musik, wie beispielsweise eigentatiges
Musizieren auf selbstgebauten Instrumenten, bieten. Die Projekte
mit Jugendlichen aus den Bereichen Obdachlosensiedlung,
Jugendstrafanstalt und Heimerziehung verdeutlichen hingegen die
Arbeit in geschlossenen Institutionen sowie deren restriktiven
Bedingungen. Empirische Feldforschung in Form von Interviews in
einer sozialpadagogisch initiierten Jugenddiskothek sowie einer
Fragebogenaktion im Jugendtreff Hasenbergl, einem sozialen
Brennpunkt Munchens, bestatigte die Hypothese der Losung von
Alltagsproblemen durch Musikkonsum bei Jugendlichen im Sinne der
Verdrangung oder Sublimierung. Inhaltsverzeichnis:
