В статье освещается творческая эволюция живописца Молдавии Ольги Орловой, чье искусство основано на принципах реализма, допускающего цветовую экспрессию. Материалом исследования стали многочисленные живописные произведения художника с 1950-х годов по настоящее время, которые впервые введены в широкий международный искусствоведческий оборот. Автор анализирует динамику тем и мотивов, композиционных особенностей, колорита картин, отмечая их тональность, декоративность и гармонию. В результате исследования определено, что при всем разнообразии задач Ольга Орлова верна традициям, которые близки ей с 1960-х годов. Это интерес к проявлению сущностного в человеке и в природном мире, лаконизм языка пластики, эмоциональная содержательность колорита. The article elucidates the creative evolution of the Moldavian painter Olga Orlova, whose art is based on the principles of realism, but allowing also color expression. The research material is the artists numerous paintings from the 1950s to the present, which were first introduced into a wide, international art history circulation. The author analyzes the dynamics of themes and motives, compositional features, color of paintings, noting their tonality, decorativeness and harmony. As a result of the study, it is determined that, with all the variety of tasks, Olga Orlova is true to the traditions that have become close to her since the 1960s. It is her interest for manifestation of the human essence and for the world of nature, as well as the laconism of the plastic language and the emotional content of color.

This chapter outlines three examples of how secular theology was put into practice in the 1960s: Nick Stacey’s innovations in the parish of Woolwich; the radicalization of the ‘Parish and People’ organization; and the radicalization of Britain’s Student Christian Movement, which during the 1950s was the largest student religious organization in the country. The chapter argues that secular theology contained an inherent dynamic of ever-increasing radicalization, which irresistibly propelled its adherents from the ecclesiastical radicalism of the early 1960s to the more secular Christian radicalism of the late 1960s. Secular theology promised that the reunification of the church and the world would produce nothing less than the transformative healing of society. As the 1960s went on, this vision pushed radical Christian leaders to sacrifice more and more of their ecclesiastical culture as they pursued their goal of social transformation.

The introduction of the long-playing record in 1948 was the most aesthetically significant technological change in the century of the recorded music disc. The new format challenged record producers and recording artists of the 1950s to group sets of songs into marketable wholes and led to a first generation of concept albums that predate more celebrated examples by rock bands from the 1960s. Two strategies used to unify concept albums in the 1950s stand out. The first brought together performers unlikely to collaborate in the world of live music making. The second strategy featured well-known singers in songwriter-or performer-centered albums of songs from the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s recorded in contemporary musical styles. Recording artists discussed include Fred Astaire, Ella Fitzgerald, and Rosemary Clooney, among others.

Religious Crisis

Since most chapters contain individual summaries, they are not reproduced in the conclusion. Rather, there is a holistic overview of religious allegiance and churchgoing across seven micro-periods between 1880 and 1980, with reference to a hybrid measure of adult ‘active church adherence’ relative to population. This declined continuously and gradually, undermining arguments for ‘revolutionary’ secularization in the 1960s. A second section considers six dimensions of ‘diffusive religion’, a basket of alternative performance indicators cited by some scholars who contend religion has not declined but simply changed, moving away from institutional expressions. Such claims are not judged evidentially strong. The third section updates secularization’s historiography, critiquing previous work on the alleged religious crisis of 1890–1914, the religious impact of the world wars, and the so-called religious revival of the 1950s and crisis of the 1960s. The causation of secularization is discussed, and weakening Sabbatarianism and religious socialization of children are emphasized.

Second World

This chapter locates the immediate origins of British Christian radicalism in the early 1940s. The Second World War was frequently interpreted by Christian commentators as evidence of a profound spiritual crisis in Western civilization. The resulting quest for a new Christianity was pursued, amongst others, by J.H. Oldham, Kathleen Bliss, Ronald Gregor Smith, Alec Vidler, and John Robinson. Many of these figures went on to become leading figures in the Christian radicalism of the 1960s. The perception that Western civilization was experiencing an unprecedented crisis encouraged readings of modern history influenced by Christian eschatology, which argued that the Church’s central mission was to help transform the world. In the 1950s, the memory of this crisis encouraged British theology’s engagement with American and German radical theologians, including Bonhoeffer, Bultmann, and Tillich. This tradition only required fresh imagined crises to regain its momentum in the 1960s.

The Rise of Investment Treaties and ISDS in the 1990s and Since

In the early 1980s, many countries had not signed investment treaties or joined the ICSID Convention. Neither was there any ISDS practice. This situation changed quickly, however, as the views of the norm entrepreneurs of the 1950s and 1960s became part of the global consensus on development thinking. In the 1990s, the World Bank and UNCTAD put themselves at the forefront of efforts to promote investment treaties and ISDS, a task for which they had the support of organizations such as the American Bar Association. The investment treaty network rapidly expanded, most states joined ICSID, and the first ISDS cases emerged. Some arbitrators acted as pioneers of a new legal field, while others wrote in celebration of the fact that the proposals of the 1960s had now become law. Crucially, they also resolved the disputes in the background of the legal imagination.

Religion And Sexuality

Revisiting Godfrey Hodgson’s conceptualization of the “liberal consensus,” this chapter finds that during the postwar era a large majority of Americans had come to believe that this state ought to be strong enough to manage capitalism and cushion its destructive effects; to maintain a large enough standing military to contain communism wherever it reared its head in the world; and to operate a system of mass taxation that would yield revenues ample enough to manage capitalism and contain communism. But Americans in the 1950s had reached little agreement about the use of public power in three other major areas of life, race, religion, and sexuality, domains that state governments, not the federal government, traditionally possessed the authority to govern. Once an emboldened federal government began moving in the 1950s to assert its authority over matters of race, religion, and sexuality, it ran into fierce resistance. On these matters there was no consensus, and in consequence conflict emerged as the major theme of American history in the 1960s and beyond.

Although the different phases of each country's development are far from being synchronous, in general Latin America's growth in the postwar period began to change pace and pattern around the mid- 1960s, then again following the oil crisis of 1973, which ushered in a slowdown of the world economy, only to plunge into crisis anew early in the 1980s.As discussed in Altimir (1994a), during the 1950s and 1960s, growth — i.e., at substantial rates, greater than 2%per capita — was either unequal (as in Brazil or Chile in the 1960s) or else involved an increase in inequality in the 1950s that was followed by a phase of inequality that remained essentially unchanged throughout the 1960s (as in Argentina, Colombia or Mexico).

The New Deal

This chapter traces the changes in federal and state protective policies from the New Deal through the 1950s. In contrast to the setbacks of the 1920s, the New Deal revived the prospects of protective laws and of their proponents. The victory of the minimum wage for women workers in federal court in 1937 and the passage in 1938 of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), which extended labor standards to men, represented a peak of protectionist achievement. This achievement rested firmly on the precedent of single-sex labor laws for which social feminists—led by the NCL—had long campaigned. However, “equal rights” gained momentum in the postwar years, 1945–60. By the start of the 1960s, single-sex protective laws had resumed their role as a focus of contention in the women's movement.

This essay focuses on a body of photoconceptual works from the 1960s and 1970s in which the automobile functions as a prosthetic-like aperture through which to view the world in motion. I argue that the logic of the “automotive prosthetic“ in works by Paul McCarthy, Dennis Hopper, Ed Ruscha, Jeff Wall, John Baldessari, Richard Prince, Martha Rosler, Robert Smithson, Ed Kienholz, Julian Opie, and Cory Arcangel reveals a techno-genetic understanding of conceptual art, functioning in addition and alternatively to semiotics and various philosophies of language usually associated with conceptual art. These artworks show how the automobile, movement on roads and highways, and the automotive landscape of urban sprawl have transformed the human sensorium. I surmise that the car has become a prosthetic of the human body and is a technological force in the maieusis of the posthuman subject. I offer a reading of specific works of photoconceptual art based on experience, perception, and a posthumanist subjectivity in contrast to solely understanding them according to semiotics and linguistics.
