Summary:
On ne présente plus Tomi Ungerer. Les Trois Brigands, le Géant de Zéralda, Pas de baiser pour maman et tant d'autres histoires à succès l'ont hissé depuis longtemps au panthéon des auteurs pour enfants. Ses satires acérées de la société américaine, qui défraient la chronique dans les années 1970, n'ont guère perdu de leur actualité ; ses dessins publicitaires explosifs ont fait date ; ses œuvres érotiques continuent d'évoquer avec ambivalence et délectation la place de la femme dans nos sociétés. Tomi Ungerer est aussi l'affichiste virulent de la lutte contre le sida, le nucléaire, le racisme. Mais il sait être tendre envers ce qui lui est cher: en témoignent ses illustrations de contes et de chansons populaires qui accompagnent l'imaginaire de plus d'un lecteur. A l'occasion de l'ouverture du Musée Tomi Ungerer, Centre international de l'Illustration, cet ouvrage présente pour la première fois une analyse rétrospective de son œuvre. Parmi les huit mille dessins et sculptures, les mille trois cents livres, les archives, les revues, les photographies dont Tomi Ungerer a fait donation à sa ville natale, ce livre propose quelques chemins de traverse dans la production protéiforme de l'artiste.

Summary:
Woodcutter, painter, cosmopolitan and anti-militarist, Belgium-born Masereel (1889-1972) was an extremely popular artist in 1920s Germany. A contemporary of Kathe Kollwitz and George Grosz, his "novels-without-words"--completely composed of woodcuts--have been neglected in the States. Here, 165 striking woodcuts generate the visual narrative of a young man's initiation into the urban milieu. The raw power and diversity of the city's day to day events continually expand his understanding of life's possibilities. The hero's fascination with the city's abundance of art and culture, political debate and industrial glory combine with observations on an equal profusion of poignant social trauma. The protagonist travels to distant lands; this journey of vibrant percipience propels him toward an enlarged comprehension of his role in a world of good and evil, love and tenderness and clashing social interests. Mann's effusive introduction discusses Masereel's life and influences and details the ideas that motivated and enliven this vivid work.

Summary:
In 1930s Bolivia, self-described Anarchist Cholas form a libertarian trade union. In the Northern Highlands of Vietnam, the songs of one girl’s youth lead her to a life of activism. In the Philippines, female elders from Kalinga blaze a trail when pushed into impromptu protest. Equally striking accounts from Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, India, Nepal, Peru and Thailand weave a tapestry of trauma and triumph, shedding light on not-too-distant histories otherwise overlooked. Indigenous Peoples all over the world have always had to stand their ground in the face of colonialism. While the details may differ, what these stories have in common is their commitment to resistance in a world that puts profit before respect, and western notions of progress before their own. Movements and Moments is an introductory glimpse into how Indegenous Peoples tell these stories in their own words. From Southeast Asia to South America, vibrant communities must grapple with colonial realities to assert ownership over their lands and traditions. This project was undertaken in cooperation with the Goethe-Institut Indonesien in Jakarta. These stories were selected from an open call across 42 countries to spotlight feminist movements and advocacies in the Global South.
