Zustand: Wie Neu. Zustandsbeschreibung: Mängelexemplar/near mint. Feminism's Flirtation with Patriarchy. In this volume, the author continues the exploration of her Hestian/Hermean Dual Systems Paradigm. Drawing on two ancient Greek mythemes - Hestia, guardian of the «homeplace» and Hermes, guardian of the «marketplace» - she in…troduces a metaphorical language with which to examine the private/public, civic/domestic, familial/political aspects of the human condition to reclaim the family ecosystem as a site for feminist theory. She challenges «one size fits all» theories based on patriarchal paradigms (the «bed of Procrustes») and suggests how a Hestian feminist perspective can be applied to the academic disciplines of classics, philosophy, history, political science, sociology, psychology, economics, and ethics.

Zustand: Wie Neu. Zustandsbeschreibung: Mängelexemplar/near mint. The Parallogics of Everyday Life. Adopting the analytic lenses of the Hestian/Hermean Dual Systems Paradigm, this volume critiques paradigms that are baised in favor of the political at the expense of the familial. Thompson challenges conventional «ways of seeing»… the private/public and expands the metaphor of the double helix of everyday life to include the parallogics of the dual domains of human action. She invites the reader to compare and contrast homeplace/marketplace activities from a dual systems - instead of a gender - perspective. She suggests that the domestic/civic aspects of everyday life be recognized as co-responsible options and offers a case study of the demise of a Hestian home economics department in the Hermean environment of higher education to illustrate her points. The book concludes with a Hestian feminist plea for domestic literacy based on a reappraisal of «hearth and home» in antiquity and modernity. Thompson suggests that a gender-equitable approach to the private/public demands of everyday life is an essential first step to achieving a «new humanism».

In den WarenkorbMoscow: OGIZ-Molodaia gvardiia, 1931. Octavo (17 × 12.5 cm). Original illustrated staple-stitched wrappers; 14, [2] pp. Illustrations throughout. Light soil to wrappers, else very good. Second freestanding edition of this Vladimir Mayakovsky poem written for the International Youth Day in 1926, with the first edition published p…osthumously in 1930, illustrated by the Constructivist graphic artist Vera Ivanova (1896-1948). The simplified illustration style in this volume appears to be Ivanova's tribute to Mayakovsky's laconic designs for the ROSTA (Russian State Telegraph Agency) windows. The satirized silhouettes of clergy, police, and the bourgeoisie in Ivanova's illustrations are typical of the satirical posters of the Russian Civil War period (1918-1922) which Mayakovsky produced for ROSTA starting in 1919. The graphic artist Vera Ivanova studied at the Stroganov Art Academy prior to the Revolution, completing her studies at VKhUTEMAS in 1920. She would go on to design numerous children's books, often in the Constructivist style, including illustrations for Lev Zilov's "Shokolad" (Chocolate; 1928), Agniia Barto's "Devochka chumazaiia" (Grimy girl; 1931), and a collaboration with fellow avant-garde artist David Shterenberg on a collection of poems by Vedenskii, Kharms, and Mayakovsky titled "Pesnia molniia" (Lightning bolt song; 1930). International Day of Youth was a Soviet holiday celebrated annually on September 1st. The holiday was part of a Socialist pacifist project, established during WWI in Bern, and first celebrated in 1915 in Switzerland, Netherlands, US, Italy and a number of other nations, with the first celebration in Soviet Russia in 1917. The Komsomol (Communist Socialist Youth) organization, founded in 1918, presided over the holiday in the Soviet Union until its final celebration in 1945. No. 367 of the Lur'e collection (Kniga dlia detei 1881-1939, Moscow: ULEI, 2009). As of March 2025, KVK, OCLC show two copies of the second edition in North America. The first edition is held by six institutions.

In den WarenkorbZustand: Very Good. First Edition. A Constructivist version of a "Trades of ____" plate book, Soviet-style, with the Soviets' Manichean outlook on Society -- the division of people into good guys and bad -- at its heart, and part of the propagandist element of this suite. Folio, 34.5 by 25.5 cm. 19 loose plates of various profes…sions and types. Following the text leaf, which was written by Mayakovsky, come 18 plates with illustrations by four different artists, in a style akin, in our view, to the Expressionist caricaturing by George Grosz. As to Mayakovsky, he had been a leading Futurist in Russian letters and art, for he was a creative figure who wore many hats -- poet, graphic artist, actor. Unlike his counterparts say in Italy, whose Futurist adherents generally embraced Facism, Mayakovsky was drawn to Communism and joined the Bolsheviks early on. His enthusiasm for the Revolution is manifestly demonstrated by this suite. In time his view about the Soviet system and leadership became more ambivalent and complicated, as reflected in his works scorned by the Soviet officialdom. But following his suicide in 1930, Stalin took to championing Mayakovsky. Leaves, of a thin, acidic pulp paper, are heavily age toned and brittle, as the norm for Russian publications in the Revolutionary period. Some edge chips, but given the paper, this is minor, with none affecting the illustration, or even coming close. The outer portfolio has a light layer of soiling virtually everywhere. This, with effort, can be further mitigated with an eraser, but not eradicated completely, based on our testing. Also, there is around most of its edges, including the flaps within, a lighter sliver with an irregular, or jagged, edge to it, which we haven't figured out its origins. It doesn't look like a repair, given its uneven borderline, and while it in places looks almost like a sloppily applied coat of paint, we don't think it is that. We tend to think it is something about how the portfolio was first constructed, but we haven't handled other copies of this suite to know what their portfolios are like. Despite the shortcomings, we perceive this copy as Very Good based on a comparison of other early Soviet publications, almost all of which have aged poorly because of the cheap paper they used. Portfolio. Three flaps to hold contents within. Portfolio, including flaps, made of a heavy card stock. K. L. Boguslavskaia, V. Kozlinski, S.Makletsov and Puni. (illustrator).

In den Warenkorb90+ (with a few additional duplicates) pieces of ephemeral material ranging from page copiously illustrated tour guides produced in the US on behalf of the USSR tourist initiatives, to single sheet recital tickets and programs clearly produced to the lowest costs and standards, many of which were not intended to last more than a… single occasion. Condition is largely Very Good, with a few of the pieces having some wear or damp staining, a number of pieces have small "Book Sale" ink stamps, presumably pieces that originated in the same collection and were then donated somewhere for sale. A fascinating and varied collection of theatrical and tourist ephemera, with much of it originating in one of the most dynamic and experimental periods in Soviet performing arts. "Good intentions do not play a role in art. In art, only achievements play a role." A.V. Lunacharski. Intourist was originally formed in 1929 as "????????????? ??????????? ???????? ?? ?????? ??????????? ???????? ??? «????????»" which more or less translates as the "All-Russian Joint-Stock Company for the Acceptance of Foreign Tourists". It was far more than a travel agency, however, controlling as it did almost all tourist access from the West into the USSR, and operating on a number of levels to carefully control and curate the view of Soviet Russia that was presented to the rest of the world. The president of Intourist in 1933, Wilhelm Kurz of the Central Committee, was the first USSR visitor to be formally accepted by the US when he visited immediately after the nation had been granted recognition. Higher officials in Intourist (actually "??????????? ??????", with the popular name simply being a contraction of the Russian language phrasing of "Foreign Tourist", or "Innostrannyy Turist") tended to be secure and solid party officials whose loyalty to the state was rarely questioned, the main reason for this being that their interactions with foreign nations (and nationals) increased the possibility of defection; something Intourist learned early on when their UK representative in London, Aron Sheinman, declined to return to the Motherland when summoned, and became a British citizen in 1939, which was probably rather good timing. Intourist in the 1930's, midway through another Soviet Five Year Plan, was given the brief to attract wealthy Western culture vultures and businesspeople to the USSR, and display to them (with astonishing attention to detail), how much better the Soviet people were doing than their Western counterparts, whilst also planting the seeds for future collaboration. The US was in the midst of the Depression, not that the people paying $465 for their trip tickets in 1934 needed to worry much about that, but being met from your luxurious "Soviet Ship" and ferried to your Moscow hotel by a fleet of brand new Lincoln town cars for two solid weeks of high culture and fine dining, being escorted every step of the way by guides and assistants, must have made quite an impression. The number of Americans who could afford a new Lincoln was pretty small at that point, and the number who could travel even smaller, so the Intourist agenda was aimed to within a minute of accuracy at the Westerners who could do them the most good; the rich, the famous, and the culturally influential. There's nothing accidental about the Intourist literature being filled with Margaret Bourke White's photographs, and commentaries from notable Western culture critics and authorities. Tales abound, from the Western tourists able to take advantage of Intourist's services, of constant surveillance, an absence of any freedom of movement (usually disguised by the concept that there was so much to see in the Wonderland of the USSR that wandering off would just mean you missed the best parts), and some very strict non-fraternisation policies that only eased off after 1953 when Stalin's strictures against marrying non-Soviet citizens were rolled back. At the height of the Cold War, a period parts of this collection span, Intourist was essentially an arm of the KGB rather than a tour company; hotels were bugged, drivers recorded all conversations, the guides reported even the most casual of disclosures to their superiors, and no opportunity was lost to gather information on the one hand, and disseminate pro-soviet propaganda on the other. Itineraries of Intourist tours for the period show very clearly that even the First Class tourists paying an eye-watering premium were not permitted anything other than the most token periods of 'freedom', with one Moscow-Leningrad tour timetabling only 8 hours of 'unsupervised' time spread across 10 days beginning at 8am and ending at around 11pm. All forms of Soviet culture from collective farm visits, to mountain hikes, to visits to the Bolshoi served a concrete purpose; to showcase the USSR's successes whilst concealing any of its blemishes. Impromptu hangouts with the actors at the Moscow State Theatre were in fact carefully scripted and choreographed encounters with no dissonant (or dissident) notes, night life was restricted to a carefully chosen list of venues, and wherever possible visitors were kept moving from one location to another in quick succession, emphasizing the cavalcade of wonders whilst denying any insights that might be gathered by more leisurely viewing. Looking behind the scenery, would only result in you seeing more scenery. "in the alternate universe that was the Soviet Union, the 'giant squid' of the Soviet state [would] engulf the traveler. [There were] myriad ways in which the Soviet tourist monopoly, Intourist, both hindered the foreigner and shielded him from the vagaries of Soviet material life, and above all, the psychological costs of 'routine surveillance'. and the barriers the Soviets erected between foreigners and unvarnished (and uncomfortable) truths about the Soviet Union."
