Anton Ginzburg

Blue Flame: Constructions and Initiatives

By: Anastasia Osipova,Ksenia Nouril,Meghan Forbes,R. H. Quaytman,Charles Renfro

Es begann mit der Erforschung des Hyperborea-Mythos. Es schloss sich eine Erkundung des Aralsees an. Nun richtet Anton Ginzburg seinen Blick auf die Epoche des Konstruktivismus und beschließt damit eine faszinierende Trilogie von Büchern. Als Künstler und Forscher blickt Ginzburg kritisch auf die Arbeiten bekannter Konstruktivisten wie Rodtschenko und Tatlin oder der VkhUTEMAS. Er entdeckt in ihren Werken die antreibende Kraft ihrer Utopien zugleich mit den Gefahren auch die Grenzen dieser Ambitionen. Aus diesen Erkenntnissen gehen Ginzburgs Werke hervor. Sie sind inspiriert von der vorgefundenen Ästhetik und lassen diese aufleben. Sie wahren dennoch die Distanz eines Kommentars. Wie in den beiden vorangegangenen Installationen stellt Ginzburg auch hier die Frage nach dem Werden: Welche Bedeutung haben die vergangenen Phänomene für die Gegenwart, welche Gestalt nehmen sie heute an? Ginzburgs Skulpturen, Malerei und Video sind die eindrucksvolle Antwort.

Outlaw Music in Russia

The Rise of an Unlikely Genre

By: Anastasia Gordienko

The Russian shanson can be heard across the country today, on radio and television shows, at mass events like political rallies, and even at the Kremlin. Yet despite its ubiquity, it has attracted almost no scholarly attention. Anastasia Gordienko provides the first full history of the shanson, from its tenuous ties to early modern criminals’ and robbers’ folk songs, through its immediate generic predecessors in the Soviet Union, to its current incarnation as the soundtrack for daily life in Russia. It is difficult to firmly define the shanson or its family of song genres, but they all have some connection, whether explicit or implicit, to the criminal underworld or to groups or activities otherwise considered subversive. Traditionally produced by and popular among criminals and other marginalized groups, and often marked by characters and themes valorizing illegal activities, the songs have undergone censorship since the early nineteenth century. Technically legal only since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the shanson is today not only broadly popular but also legitimized by Vladimir Putin’s open endorsement of the genre. With careful research and incisive analysis, Gordienko deftly details the shanson’s history, development, and social meanings. Attempts by imperial rulers, and later by Soviet leaders, to repress the songs and the lifestyles they romanticized not only did little to discourage their popularity but occasionally helped the genre flourish. Criminals and liberal intelligentsia mingled in the Gulag system, for instance, and this contact introduced censored songs to an educated, disaffected populace that inscribed its own interpretations and became a major point of wider dissemination after the Gulag camps were closed. Gordienko also investigates the shanson as it exists in popular culture today: not divorced from its criminal undertones (or overtones) but celebrated for them. She argues that the shanson expresses fundamental themes of Russian culture, allowing for the articulation of anxieties, hopes, and dissatisfactions that are discouraged or explicitly forbidden otherwise.

The Development of an E-Commerce Model in the Luxury Industry

By: Anastasia Sobolev

The demand for luxury goods is continuously increasing. As the population in most cities rises, the number of potential buyers increases, too. Additionally, most social classes steadily grow wealthier which is why more people can afford luxury goods. Still, luxury brands stand for exclusivity, elegance and scarcity. But in the recent past, a conflicting development changes traditional business. The innovative approach of digitalization exerts pressure on luxury brands and still is determined as one of the most influential trends in the whole industry. The internet is accessible to everyone and represents a retail channel that sells mass products at discounted prices. Luxury industry has to find possibilities to manage the growing phenomenon of e-commerce while preserving the brand image from dilution. But how can the luxury industry benefit from the technological innovation? Is it possible to integrate this growing and profitable mass market channel into the privacy of the exclusive luxury strategy? Anastasia Sobolev examines how the incongruences between the internet and the luxury industry can be solved. She develops an e-commerce model which offers useful solutions for luxury brands in order to expand their distribution network. In this book: -luxury industry; -e-commerce; -digitalization; -luxury brands; -mass media

Disease Pathways

An Atlas of Human Disease Signaling Pathways

By: Anastasia P. Nesterova,Anton Yuryev,Eugene A. Klimov,Maria Zharkova,Maria Shkrob,Natalia V. Ivanikova,Sergey Sozin,Vladimir Sobolev

Disease Pathways: An Atlas of Human Disease Signaling Pathways is designed to fill a void of illustrated reviews about the cellular mechanisms of human diseases. It covers 42 of the most common non-oncologic diseases and illustrates the connections between the molecular causes of the disease and its symptoms. This resource provides readers with detailed information about the disease molecular pathways, while keeping the presentation simple. Pathway models that aggregate the knowledge about protein–protein interactions have become indispensable tools in many areas of molecular biology, pharmacology, and medicine. In addition to disease pathways, the book includes a comprehensive overview of molecular signaling biology and application of pathway models in the analysis of big data for drug discovery and personalized medicine. This is a must-have reference for general biologists, biochemists, students, medical workers, and everyone interested in the cellular and molecular mechanisms of human disease. - Over 145 full-color illustrations of the molecular and cellular cascades underlying the disease pathology. - Disease pathways are based on computational models from Elsevier's Disease Pathway Collection, published for the first time outside of Pathway Studio® commercial software. - Each relationship on the pathway models is supported by references to scientific articles and can be examined at freely available online resources.
