REININK, WESSEL AND JEROEN STUMPEL.: Memory & Oblivion. Proceedings of the XX1Xth International Congress of the History of Art held in Amsterdam, 1-7 September, 1996.
Dordrecht, Kluwer, 1999. 27cm. 1114pp, hundreds of b/w ills. Memory is a subject that recently has attracted many scholars and readers not only in the general historical sciences, but also in the special field of art history. However, in this book, in which more than 130 papers given at the XXIXth International Congress of the History of Art (Amsterdam) 1996 have been compiled, Memory is also juxtaposed to its counterpart, Oblivion, thus generating extra excitement in the exchange of ideas. The papers are presented in eleven sections, each of which is devoted to a different aspect of memory and oblivion, ranging from purely material aspects of preservation, to social phenomena with regard to art collecting, from the memory of the art historian to workshop practices, from art in antiquity, to the newest media, from Buddhist iconography to the Berlin Wall. The book addresses readers in the field of history, history of art and psychology. Wrappers.
