Wanderlust Burton Holmes, the man who brought the world home It was the Belle Époque, a time before air travel or radio, at the brink of a revolution in photography and filmmaking, when Burton Holmes (1870-1958) began a lifelong journey to bring the world home. From the grand boulevards of Paris to China's Great Wall, from the construction of the Panama Canal to the 1906 eruption of Mount Vesuvius, Holmes delighted in finding "the beautiful way around the world" and made a career of sharing his stories, colorful photographs, and films with audiences across America. He coined the term "travelogue" in 1904 to advertise his unique performance and thrilled audiences with two-hour sets of stories timed to projections of multihued, hand-painted glass-lantern slides and some of the first "moving pictures." Paris, Peking, Delhi, Dubrovnik, Moscow, Manila, Jakarta, Jerusalem: Burton Holmes was there. He visited every continent and nearly every country on the planet, shooting over 30,000 photographs and nearly 500,000 feet of film. This book represents the best of the Holmes archive, brimming with brilliant color photographs. A rare window onto the world of 100 years ago, it is also the ultimate inspiration to strike out on a travel adventure of your own. Text in English, French, and German

C'est pendant la Belle Epoque, avant les voyages en avion ou la radio, à la veille d'une révolution photographique et cinématographique, que Burton Holmes (1870-1958) a commencé son long périple pour rapporter le monde chez lui. Des Grands Boulevards de Paris à la Grande Muraille de Chine, de la construction du canal du Panama à l'éruption du Vésuve en 1906, Holmes prenait plaisir à trouver "le plus beau chemin autour de la Terre" , et présenter ses récits, ses photographies colorisées et ses films à travers les Etats-Unis devint son métier. C'est lui qui a trouvé inventé le mot "travelogue" (journal de voyage) en 1904 pour mettre en avant le caractère unique de son spectacle qui captivait le public avec des récits de deux heures rythmés par la projection de diapositives en verre peintes à la main et de quelques-unes des premières "images animées" . Paris, Pékin, Dehli, Dubrovnik, Moscou, Manille, Djakarta, Jérusalem : Burton Holmes est passé partout. Il a visité tous les continents et presque tous les pays de la planète, réalisant plus de 30. 000 photographies et 150. 000 mètres de pellicule. Ce livre rassemble les plus belles archives d'Holmes, débordant de superbes photographies couleur. Exceptionnelle fenêtre ouverte sur le monde d'il y a un siècle, c'est aussi une formidable invitation au voyage.

This is a book by and about Frank O. Etheridge, an African-American musician from an age of cultural explosion. The decade after World War II saw the coming-of-age of marginalized cultures, and in North America a new voice emerged among peoples of African descent. Etheridge performed in a period when some of the greatest cultural producers of the African-American heritage assumed center-stage. From Shanghai to Singapore; from India to Africa and beyond, Frank Etheridge left us a detailed record of his travels in his unpublished manuscript. The book contains his views, insights, and international itinerary during the 1920s. His book is an important volume in the annals of African-American history, not just for its content, but for what it means and symbolizes. Its readers will journey with him, see through his eyes, understand race and racial prejudice as lived in ordinary skin, and sample culture. Some of Etheridge’s reflections and personal biases will seem like unpleasant contradictions from the way we think about racial prejudice today. However, these jarring moments of dissonance are rich learning opportunities that will connect us to his times, while unraveling a greater understanding of ourselves in our current moment. This manuscript, published for the first time, will be accompanied by editorial commentary written by Professor Ben Vinson III, and will be of great interest to students and scholars of African American history.

This book presents a chronology of thirty definitions attributed to the word, term, phrase, and concept of “documentary” between the years 1895 and 1959. The book dedicates one chapter to each of the thirty definitions, scrutinizing their idiosyncratic language games from close range while focusing on their historical roots and concealed philosophical sources of inspiration. Dan Geva's principal argument is twofold: first, that each definition is an original ethical premise of documentary; and second, that only the structured assemblage of the entire set of definitions successfully depicts the true ethical nature of documentary insofar as we agree to consider its philosophical history as a reflective object of thought in a perpetual state of being-self-defined: an ethics sui generis.
