First broadcast in 1969 in Britain, the series consisted of thirteen programmes, each fifty minutes long, outlining the history of Western civilisation from the Early Middle Ages to the early twentieth century. Opening with the collapse of the Roman Empire and the image of wild barbarians at the gates \u0026ndash; the invasion the civilisation survived \u0026ldquo;by the skin of our teeth\u0026rdquo; \u0026ndash; the series presents a classical Western-orientated approach to art history with the traditional focus on great male artists over the centuries. The overview excluded non-European civilisations. Although \u003cem\u003eCivilisation \u003c/em\u003ewas widely praised at the time, the cultural canon presented by Clark was soon questioned by another BBC series \u0026ndash; John Berger\u0026rsquo;s \u003cem\u003eWays of Seeing\u003c/em\u003e (1972).\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCivilisation: A Personal View\u003c/em\u003e is de boekversie van de beroemde \u003ca href=\"http://ensembles.mhka.be/items/civilisation-a-personal-view-f3212570-c835-4ed8-a9d1-d0b6778ede2c/assets/87284\"\u003egelijknamige televisiereeks\u003c/a\u003e, geschreven en gepresenteerd door de Britse kunsthistoricus Kenneth Clark. De reeks werd in 1969 uitgezonden in Groot-Brittanni\u0026euml;. Ze bestaat uit dertien programma\u0026#39;s van elk vijftig minuten waarin de geschiedenis van de westerse beschaving van de vroege middeleeuwen tot het begin van de twintigste eeuw wordt geschetst. De reeks opent met de val van het Romeinse rijk en het beeld van wilde barbaren aan de poorten, een invasie die \u0026#39;de beschaving\u0026#39; slechts op het nippertje zou overleefd hebben. Ze presenteert een klassieke westers geori\u0026euml;nteerde benadering van de kunstgeschiedenis, met een traditionele focus op de grote mannelijke kunstenaars door de eeuwen heen. Niet-Europese beschavingen worden uitgesloten.
