First answer: ‘One’s real nature’ can be taken to be the sum of one’s animal impulses and instincts, and what one tries to appear as is the social- cultural ‘model’ of a certain historical epoch that one seeks to become. Second answer: It seems to me that ‘one’s real nature’ is determined by the struggle to become what one wants to become. ‒ Antonio Gramsci, Selections from the Cultural Writings This content downloaded from 132.229.156.144 on Tue, 05 Feb 2019 10:42:33 UTC All use subject to https://about.jstor.org/terms Acknowledgments This book has been in the making for about five years. Some chapters appear for the first time in this book (Chapters 1, 5, and 9), other chapters have parts that are new. For the rest I used previously published articles: some almost entirely, some taken apart and distributed, and all reconsidered and when needed, rewritten. Most importantly, I reconsidered arguments and the precision of terms used in earlier publications in order to come to a more systematic consideration of the notions theatricality, dramatiza- tion, moment, and event. I thank editors and journals, in order of time of publication, for their permission to use or re-use: ‘Moments of Indecision, Sovereign Possibilities: Notes on the Tableau Vivant’ (part of chapter 8); ‘The Invention of the Moment: Telescope, Literalness and Baroque Theatricality of the World’ (part of chapter 6); ‘Mundus Dramaticus: a School Drama and Dramatization – Franciscus van den Enden’ (chapter 7); ‘Rehearsal in Occurrent Art: Zdjelar’s Don’t Do it Wrong, One or Two Songs..., Shoum, Everything Is Gonna Be, and My Lifetime – Malaika’ (a small part of chapter 5); ‘What Roman Paradigm for the Dutch Republic? – Baroque Tragedies and Ambiguities Concerning Dominium and Torture’ (chapter 2); ‘The comedic sublime: the work of Frans Hals in a Dutch Baroque’ (chapter 4); and ‘Theatrical Torture versus Dramatic Cruelty: Subjection through Representation or Praxis’ (chapter 3 and parts of chapter 2 and 8). I am very grateful to a greater number of scholars than I can thank here. I thank Inge ’t Hart and Tyler Sage as the intelligent, sharp, thorough, and attentive editors of this book. And I thank the peer reviewers of AUP and AUP’s editorial board, especially Inge van der Bijl, Victoria Blud and Chantal Nicolaes. I want to thank my inspiring group of PhD students in Leiden as a whole, and more specifically those with whom I talked about chapters or who commented on some of them: Marijn van Dijk and Tessa de Zeeuw.

    Plekken van plezier Open Monumentendagen 14 & 15 september Haarlem - 1 Welkom in Haarlem Op de voorkant van dit programmaboekje prijkt zwembad De Houtvaart. Een prachtige plek van plezier in onze monumentenstad Haarlem. Dit jaar staat dan ook de amusementswaarde van monumenten centraal tijdens Open Monumentendagen, met als thema ‘Plekken van plezier’. Naar welke monumentale plekken gingen en gaan mensen voor hun plezier? Ik vind het belangrijk dat onze monumenten bewaard en beschermd blijven. Dat ze bezocht en bewonderd kunnen worden en dat ze ons leren wie we zijn en waar we vandaan komen. Veel vrijwilligers werken actief mee aan de organisatie en uitvoering van de Open Monumentendagen; vanaf deze plek wil ik iedereen hartelijk bedanken voor hun inzet. In dit boekje vindt u informatie over bijzondere monumenten in Haarlem die hun deuren voor u openen. Een mooie selectie van monumenten voor ontspanning, vermaak en vrije tijd. Ik wens u een plezierig weekend vol verrassende ervaringen toe! Floor Roduner, wethouder Monumenten en Erfgoed - 2 Plekken van plezier Hoe hebben mensen zich in de loop der eeuwen vermaakt en welke monumenten zijn daarvoor het decor of het podium geweest? Deze vragen zijn leidend geweest bij het samenstellen van dit programma boekje. In Haarlem zijn volop historische ‘plekken van plezier’ te vinden zoals theaters, musea, parken, markten en sportclubs. Al in de middeleeuwen zijn er plekken in Haarlem aan te wijzen die centraal staan voor vermaak. Zo had Haarlem als eerste stad ter wereld een heus sportveld, de ‘Baen’. Hier werden vanaf de 14de eeuw Oudhollandse spellen gespeeld. Een andere bekende plek van plezier is de Haarlemmerhout, een immense groene oase aan de zuidkant van de stad.

  • Evolution and Ambition in the Career of Jan Lievens (1607-1674)
    ABSTRACT Title: EVOLUTION AND AMBITION IN THE CAREER OF JAN LIEVENS (1607-1674) Lloyd DeWitt, Ph.D., 2006 Directed By: Prof. Arthur K. Wheelock, Jr. Department of Art History and Archaeology The Dutch artist Jan Lievens (1607-1674) was viewed by his contemporaries as one of the most important artists of his age. Ambitious and self-confident, Lievens assimilated leading trends from Haarlem, Utrecht and Antwerp into a bold and monumental style that he refined during the late 1620s through close artistic interaction with Rembrandt van Rijn in Leiden, climaxing in a competition for a court commission. Lievens’s early Job on the Dung Heap and Raising of Lazarus demonstrate his careful adaptation of style and iconography to both theological and political conditions of his time. This much-discussed phase of Lievens’s life came to an end in 1631when Rembrandt left Leiden. Around 1631-1632 Lievens was transformed by his encounter with Anthony van Dyck, and his ambition to be a court artist led him to follow Van Dyck to London in the spring of 1632. His output of independent works in London was modest and entirely connected to Van Dyck and the English court, thus Lievens almost certainly worked in Van Dyck’s studio. In 1635, Lievens moved to Antwerp and returned to history painting, executing commissions for the Jesuits, and he also broadened his artistic vocabulary by mastering woodcut prints and landscape paintings. After a short and successful stay in Leiden in 1639, Lievens moved to Amsterdam permanently in 1644, and from 1648 until the end of his career was engaged in a string of important and prestigious civic and princely commissions in which he continued to demonstrate his aptitude for adapting to and assimilating the most current style of his day to his own somber monumentality.

A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History by Ingrid Frederika DeSanto 2018 ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Righteous Citizens: The Lynching of Johan and Cornelis DeWitt, The Hague, Collective Violence, and the Myth of Tolerance in the Dutch Golden Age, 1650-1672 by Ingrid Frederika DeSanto Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles Professor Margaret C Jacob, Chair In The Hague, on August 20 th , 1672, the Grand Pensionary of Holland, Johan DeWitt and his brother Cornelis DeWitt were publicly killed, their bodies mutilated and hanged by the populace of the city. This dissertation argues that this massacre remains such an unique event in Dutch history, that it needs thorough investigation. Historians have focused on short-term political causes for the eruption of violence on the brothers’ fatal day. This work contributes to the existing historiography by uncovering more long-term political and social undercurrents in Dutch society. In doing so, issues that may have been overlooked previously are taken into consideration as well.

A series of samples was taken and cross-sections were prepared. The pigments and the binding medium were identified and compared to the materials readily available in 17th century Holland. Black and white, infra-red and ultra-violet photographs as well as X-radiographs were taken and are discussed. The results of this study were compared to 17th c. materials and techniques and to the literature. 3 INTRODUCTION The "Man with a Beer Keg" (oil on canvas 83cm x 66cm), painted around 1630 - 1633) appears in the literature in 1932. [1] It was discovered in London in 1930. It had been in private hands and was, at the time, celebrated as an example of an unsuspected and startling find of an old master.

Set in the late 1980s, as AIDS hammered New York City, MINYAN is a powerful story of rebellion and self-discovery, sexual and spiritual awakening — and survival. LONG SYNOPSIS David (Samuel H. Levine) is a teenager at a strict yeshiva in Brighton Beach at the height of the 1980s. While helping his grandfather (Ron Rifkin) settle into a retirement facility in the tight-knit Russian Jewish enclave he calls home, he meets Itzik and Herschel, two elderly closeted gay men who open him up to the possibility of connection, community — and love.
