Rudolph Burckhardt: An Afternoon In Astoria
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 24.26 $One afternoon in February of 1940, Rudolph Burckhardt took the train from Manhattan to the borough of Queens. While there he took pictures of gas stations, cars and children playing. Revealing the photographer's delight in the uncelebrated and the everyday, these four subjects appear repeatedly, from different distances and varying points of view. Later dry-mounted into a hand-made, spiral-bound album titled An Afternoon in Astoria in neatly printed letters, Burckhardt's photographic sequences take the viewer on a semi-narrative walk through a quiet, spread-out neighborhood, far away from everything. More than 60 years after its creation, An Afternoon in Astoria is now finally made available to an audience larger than the photographer, his family, and his friends. Printed to capture the unassuming nature of the original album, with its careful, filmic sequencing of photographs mounted on neutral gray board, this volume celebrates a long-ago afternoon spent in the borough of Queens, the temporary new home of The Museum of Modern Art, New York.

Jacob Burckhardt's Social and Political Thought
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 40.00 $Contrary to his usual portrayal as a disinterested aesthete, Swiss cultural historian Jacob Burckhardt is characterised as an original social and political thinker in Richard Sigurdson's timely book Jacob Burckhardt's Social and Political Thought. Burckhardt's thinking on a number of ideas - including the relationship between the individual and the mass, the tension between the ideals of equality and human excellence, and the role of the intellectual in the modern state - is the subject of insightful analysis, thus providing a rare investigation into Burckhardt's culture-critique of the nineteenth century. Other important aspects of Burckhardt's life that undoubtedly influenced both his historical and political thought, such as his ambiguous relationship with Friedrich Nietzsche, are carefully scrutinised in this groundbreaking analysis of the Swiss historian.Known primarily as an historian, Burckhardt's historical writings provide not only a powerful critique of his own times, but also a broad ranging political philosophy that can be placed within the larger German tradition of evaluating politics according to the values and standards of art and culture. Although Burckhardt himself expressed his scepticism towards general theories and claimed to be devoid of a personal philosophical position, through an examination of his works Sigurdson argues that both implicit and explicit political reflections and theories are recognisable.

Rudy Burckhardt--New York Moments: Photographs and Films
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 25.00 $The Swiss photographer and filmmaker Rudolph Burckhardt (1914–99) came to New York City in 1935 and experienced the awe that many first-time visitors to the city share. The grandeur, the energy, the vitality, the sheer movement of this American metropolis all drew Burckhardt in, and he made New York his home for the rest of his life. Equally inflecting his career as a photographer and filmmaker, the city and its vibrant cultural life became Burckhardt's muse. Rudy Burckhardt—New York Moments is a rare collection of his photographs from the 1940s and 1950s. It includes not only street scenes and details of city life—“The tremendous difference in scale between the soaring buildings and the people in the street astonished me,” he wrote—but also the portraits he made of the New York School painters, most notably Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Willem de Kooning. As a photographer for ArtNews in the 1950s, Burckhardt had an insider’s view of the burgeoning art scene. But he also recognized the limits of photography—“a photograph, when it gets printed and comes out a picture, becomes like a fact, you know”—and turned his hand to filmmaking. For the rest of his career, photography and film would work together to capture his unique vision. Including photographs, film stills, and interpretive essays, Rudy Burckhardt accompanies an exhibition of Burckhardt's work at the Kunstmuseum Basel in Basel, Switzerland, and is a fitting tribute to the Swiss photographer who most poignantly captured the energy of mid-century New York.

Basel in the Age of Burckhardt: A Study in Unseasonable Ideas
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 84.84 $This remarkable history tells the story of the independent city-republic of Basel in the nineteenth century, and of four major thinkers who shaped its intellectual history: the historian Jacob Burckhardt, the philologist and anthropologist Johann Jacob Bachofen, the theologian Franz Overbeck, and the philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche."Remarkable and exceptionally readable . . . There is wit, wisdom and an immense erudition on every page."—Jonathan Steinberg, Times Literary Supplement"Gossman's book, a product of many years of active contemplation, is a tour de force. It is at once an intellectual history, a cultural history of Basel and Europe, and an important contribution to the study of nineteenth-century historiography. Written with a grace and elegance that many aspire to, few seldom achieve, this is model scholarship."—John R. Hinde, American Historical Review

Judgments on History and Historians by Burckhardt, Jacob [Hardcover ]
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 22.97 $Renowned for his Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy and Reflections on History (published by Liberty Fund), Jacob Burckhardt (1818–1897) has well been described as "the most civilized historian of the nineteenth century." Judgments on History and Historians consists of records collected by Emil Dürr from Burckhardt's lecture notes for history courses at the University of Basel from 1865 to 1885. The 149 brief sections span five eras: Antiquity, the Middle Ages, History from 1450 to 1598, the History of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries, and the Age of Revolution. As Walter Goetz observed of the work a generation ago, "It is impossible to imagine a more profound introduction to world history and its driving forces." Alberto R. Coll is a Professor of Strategy and Policy at the United States Naval War College, Newport, Rhode Island.

achtung: die Schweiz - Der Urtext von Lucius Burckhardt über die Idee einer neuen Stadt
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 20.61 $Neuware -In den 1950er Jahren setzen die großen Fehler der Entwicklungen ein, deren Bewältigung das 21. Jahrhundert leisten muss. Dieses Buch versammelt Texte von Lucius Burckhardt (1925-2003) über Architektur, Stadt- und Landesplanung aus dieser Anfangszeit. Die kritische Haltung des Schweizer Soziologen beeinflusste die Diskussionen bereits 1955 auf der Dortmunder Tagung 'Der Stadtplan geht uns alle an'. Nur bruchstückhaft aber sind seine Gedanken in das berühmte Pamphlet 'achtung: die Schweiz' von Max Frisch, Markus Kutter und Lucius Burckhardt zur Idee, eine neue Stadt zu bauen, eingeflossen. Daher nimmt das Manuskript von Lucius Burckhardt, das Max Frisch 1954 zur Grundlage für seine umfassende Neuformulierung diente, in diesem Buch eine besondere Stellung ein: Der 'Urtext' wird hier vollständig publiziert. Die Herausgeber kommentieren die Entstehungsgeschichte im zeitgenössischen Umfeld. Und sie arbeiten die Anschlussfähigkeit zahlreicher Positionen an kritische Diskurse heraus, die unsere Gegenwart über Zukunftsfragen bewegen. So ist ein Sammelband mit Beiträgen entstanden, der einen vorausschauenden Rückblick gestattet. 276 pp. Deutsch
