Dreams of Freedom

Product Information

Russian students with pensions from the Academy of Fine Arts came from chilly St. Petersburg and its strict educational routines to the carefree atmosphere of sunny Rome, where they lived with only minimal control from the bureaucrats. Some members of the Russian community of artists were recently emancipated serfs, hailing from quiet provincial parts of Russia (Vasily Raev, Anton Ivanov) or Little Russia (Ivan Shapovalenko). It was these artists who enjoyed the atmosphere of liberty in Italy to its fullest. “In the joyful captivity” of Italian life, Russian art students found themselves in a unique cultural space.

The closing minutes directly state that if Western humans are ever to find their way out of the "trap" described in the series, they would have to realise that Isaiah Berlin was wrong, and that not all attempts to change the world for the better necessarily lead to tyranny. There is nothing wrong with the goals Marx outlined for Communism. The big problem as I see it is that one of the steps along the way was for the state to take over the factors of production from the capitalists (thus centralizing economic power and control). They were supposed to let go of it as the economy moved away from private property altogether and achieved Communism, but no government was ever willing to relinquish power and control and take this step. The work by Russian and German artists presented in this section of the exhibit features landscapes of the Eternal City and its environs, as seen through the eyes of Romantics (Raev's “Rome in the Evening. A View of the Mausoleum of Hadrian (Castel Sant'Angelo) and St. Peter's Basilica”, 1843, Tretyakov Gallery; Carl Maria Nicolaus Hummel's “Landscape of Campagna in Evening Lighting”, about 1845, Albertinum), as well as landscapes of the Amalfi Coast, where the mild coastal climate and scenic views held special appeal for landscape artists. Sylvester Shchedrin was the first Russian painter to begin using oil paints en plein air. The piece “Terrace in Pozzuoli” (1828, Tretyakov Gallery) is an example of this landscape artist's impeccable mastery of this new artistic form. Shchedrin chose the time in the afternoon when Italy showed off all its radiant natural splendour and magnificence. The painter's colour scheme, enriched due to his regular painting sessions en plein air, acquired a wealth of grey-blue and silvery hues, conveying the peculiar characteristics of Italy's air, which art historians have rightfully called “the air of Romanticism”. Most genre paintings clearly demonstrate the German and Russian artists' shared interest in the Italian way of life, and in uniquely Italian customs and mores. Combining portraiture and genre scenes, these paintings include characters representing ethnic groups from different regions of Italy, their colourful costumes and accessories. Although McDonnell was not involved in the first (1980) hunger strike, he joined Bobby Sands and the others in the second (1981) hunger strike. During the strike he fought the general election in the Republic of Ireland, and only narrowly missed election to the Sligo-Leitrim constituency.

Notes

Angelina Jolie sent a special video message to the children on the night, celebrating their rights and the Convention on the Rights of the Child. In industry and public services, this way of thinking led to a plethora of targets, quotas and plans. It was meant to set workers free to achieve these targets in any way they chose. What the government did not realise was that the players, faced with impossible demands, would cheat. Similarly, one shouldn't use a Prisoner's Dilemma (PD) unless 1) you have two players trying to maximize their payoff and 2) they are presented with a situation where their payoff is always higher if they defect, no matter what their opponent does.

Chris: "What you are doing is disagreeing with Curtis' assessment of the situation, that's different from misinforming. Misinforming would be him making up facts, not assessing them." He misrepresents the prisoner's dilemma model as being 1) representative of what game theory says about people 2) a model that applies broadly to how people act in most, if not all situations. His characterization of game theory as having a dark view of people having to screw each other over -- upon which his entire premise from part I rests upon -- derives from this misapplication of the prisoner's dilemma. McDonnell agreed with the goals of the 1981 Irish hunger strike, namely: the right not to wear a prison uniform; the right not to do prison work; the right of free association with other prisoners; the right to organize their own educational and recreational facilities and the right to one visit, one letter and one parcel per week. He doubted, however, the need to go on hunger strike, believing that a campaign of disobedience would achieve the objective. As far as asserting facts unsubstantiated by evidence, the series contains numerous examples but one, in particular. It is asserted as a fact that a result of the widespread use of objective assessment and diagnostic criteria in psychiatry is that an entire generation of people took to applying such tests to themselves and as a result presented for psychiatric treatment of their behaviour. Thereby producing a self-imposed conformity effect. The only support for this assertion in the series is an anecdotal comment by a psychiatrist, in his office, that this was his personal observation. This clip is shown twice in the series. No other support for this contention is offered.Yes, Curtis is not theorizing a new approach for the social sciences. If anything, his documentaries oppose the manipulation of much of the what the social scientists attempt. His point of view is that from a moral vantage point." A Romantic's rebellious soul causes him to wander the globe in search of his spiritual homeland. Through painter Karl Gottfried Faber's eyes, even the view through his window betrays a wistful melancholy. Dresden appears truly minuscule, its silhouette melting into the horizon (“A View of Dresden”, 1824, Albertinum, DSAC).

a b "The Trap – What Happened to Our Dreams of Freedom – BBC Two England – 11 March 2007". BBC Genome. 11 March 2007. The exhibition “Dreams of Freedom. Romanticism in Russia and Germany” is one of the key events of the Year of Germany in Russia because it was during the Romantic period (1800-1848) that Russia and Saxony were struggling to find freedom in the domains of state, society and art. The project is a cooperative effort of the Tretyakov Gallery and the Dresden State Art Collections (Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden) (DSAC), the institution in which it will be presented in 2021. The programme describes how the Clinton administration gave in to market theorists in the US and how New Labour in the UK decided to measure everything it could by introducing such arbitrary and unmeasurable targets as: Scene d'Amour", "Interlude", "The Reunion", "The Match Box" and other movements from the Vertigo and North by Northwest scores by Bernard Herrmann As a true Romantic poet, Holderlin dreamt of a time when the sun of freedom would shine on his own country as well. Because the idea of the homeland (“Heimat” in German) had great significance for Romantic artists, this exhibit features an entire section devoted to it.This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Irish history, so if you enjoy the songs and music look up the history of Ireland for an indept view into why we still sing our rebel songs!! One, he confuses a model's prediction as a prescription. The prisoner's dilemma (PD) says people will screw each other over in certain specific situations. It does not say that people should screw each other over. We want to break the connection between this country and the British Empire, and to establish an Irish Republic. " Good grief. What this documentary shows is that despite all the mathematical/game theories etc. based on Hayek et al, unfettered self-interest DOESN'T work. Scholars of history ALREADY KNOW THIS as we know what the policies that preceded the last Great Depression were and that they resulted in the same mess. THE STUPIDITY OF ASSUMING THAT GREEDY HAS BOUNDS IS THE FALLACY. In my experience, those that have the most are generally the greediest and they will KEEP ON TAKING until there is nothing left for anybody else which, naturally destabilizes the system. They aren't governed by the same rules BECAUSE they aren't as exposed to REALITY as the rest of us are.

In addition to misrepresenting game theory, he is unfair to public choice. This school, unlike game theory, is quite libertarian conservative, being an offshoot of the Austrian school (Hayek). However, in part 1, Curtis twists Buchanan's point on zealots. He's not talking about idealists, but those who think they know best what people should be doing. This applies to liberals who want to legislate civil rights, but also to the Santorums of the world who want to legislate family values. Also, in part 2, he conveniently leaves out the fact that the campaign contributions and lobbying in the wake of the accounting scandals was something public choice shined a light upon with its study of rent-seeking. In a section called 'The Death of Social Mobility', Curtis describes how the theory of the free market was applied to education. In the UK, the introduction of school performance league tables was intended to give individual schools more power and autonomy, to enable them to compete for pupils, the theory being that it would motivate the worst-performing schools to improve; it was an attempt to move away from the rigid state control that had offered little choice to parents while failing to improve educational standards, and towards a culture of free choice and incentivisation, without going as far as privatising the schools. Following publication of the school league tables, wealthier parents moved into the catchment areas of the best schools, causing house prices in those areas to rise dramatically—ensuring that poor children were left with the worst-performing schools. This is just one aspect of a more rigidly stratified society which Curtis identifies in the way in which the incomes of working class Americans have actually fallen in real terms since the 1970s, while the incomes of the middle class have increased slightly, and those of the highest one percent of earners (the upper class) have quadrupled. Similarly, babies in the poorest areas in the UK are twice as likely to die in their first year as children from prosperous areas. I am not arguing that Curtis is using social ideas at all. I am arguing that he is badly mischaracterizing and misrepresenting some of these ideas. Misrepresenting is a subset of misinforming. To be sure, my example below about friction was a better analogy in regards to Curtis misrepresenting economic models that assume rational actors rather than game theory. My apologies. A better example for Curtis misrepresenting game theory would be, say, physics modeling used for a moon mission. The Trap: What Happened to Our Dream of Freedom is a BBC television documentary series by English filmmaker Adam Curtis, well known for other documentaries including The Century of the Self and The Power of Nightmares. It originally aired in the United Kingdom on BBC Two in March 2007. [1] [2] The series consists of three 60-minute programmes which explore the modern concept and definition of freedom, specifically, "how a simplistic model of human beings as self-seeking, almost robotic, creatures led to today's idea of freedom." [3] Production [ edit ]When Romantics began to paint nature and reality, the goals of the genre of landscape changed. Artists began to specify not only the locations they painted, but also the time of day. New themes were introduced, like “Morning”, “Evening”, “Night”, as well as sunny or stormy landscapes, reflecting different natural conditions. Studyi ng the variable character of nature, the artists changed their approach to composition (which became simpler, more natural looking), drawing patterns and colour schemes. The system of alternating planes, so typical of classicism, had outlived its usefulness. By studying nature, the artists introduced light and air into the images they created, drawing closer to the method of plein air painting. Chiaroscuro became a vital element in paintings. Light, as an immaterial element, helped bring the spiritual foundation of a given painting into relief.
