Cutting and the Pedagogy of Self-Disclosure

2007 y.
Publisher: Univ. of Massachusetts Press
Description: A candid look at a form of self-injury that is increasingly prevalent but rarely discussed. Cutting, a form of self-mutilation, is a growing problem in the United States, especially among adolescent females. It is regarded as self-destructive behavior, yet paradoxically, people who cut themselves generally do not wish to die but to find relief from unbearable psychological pain. Cutting and the Pedagogy of Self-Disclosure is the first book to explore how college students write about their experiences as cutters. The idea behind the book arose when Patricia Hatch Wallace, a high school English teacher, wrote a reader-response diary for a graduate course taught by Professor Jeffrey Berman in which she revealed for the first time that she had cut herself twenty years earlier. At Berman`s suggestion, Wallace wrote her Master`s thesis on cutting. Not long after she finished her thesis, two students in Berman`s expository writing course revealed their own experiences as… [detailed...]

Cutting the Wire: Gambling Prohibition And the Internet (The Gambling Studies Series)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The story of the Wire Act and how Robert Kennedy`s crusade against the Mob is creating a new generation of Internet gaming outlaws. Gambling has been part of American life since long before the existence of the nation, but Americans have always been ambivalent about it, what David Schwartz calls the `pell-mell history of legal gaming in the United States` is a testament to our paradoxical desire both to gamble and to control gambling. It is in this context that Schwartz examines the history of the Wire Act, passed in 1961 as part of Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy`s crusade against organized crime and given new life in recent efforts to control Internet gambling. Cutting the Wire presents the story of how this law first developed, how it helped fight a war against organized crime, and how it is being used today. The Wire Act achieved new significance with the development of the Internet in the early 1990s and the growing popularity of online wagering through… [detailed...]

Cutting-edge issues in Business Ethics: Continental Challenges to Tradition and Practice (Issues in Business Ethics)

Publisher: —
Description: This volume is one of the very few publications dedicated to the challenges that Continental philosophy poses to the field of Business Ethics. The authors want to draw attention to the work of Continental philosophers who have been relegated to the fringes of Business Ethics scholarship, and present some critical perspectives that have been ignored within Business Ethics practice. As such, this volume provides a critique of many of the assumptions that underpin traditional approaches to Business Ethics, and urges its readership to rethink moral agency and epistemology, as well as Business Ethics pedagogy.

Cy Twombly: A Monograph

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The pictorial creations by American artist Cy Twombly have represented, for more than 50 years, a sort of enigma that reinforces the mythic status of the artist. This book, takes into consideration Twombly’s immense and complex body of work from the 1950s up through his current works, offers a thematic and chronological interpretation of his paintings, drawings, sculptures, and collages. Richard Leeman’s study elucidates the symbols found in Twombly’s paintings?pictograms, numbers, words, colors?that, at first glance, constitute diverse and unique entities, but then assemble to form a veritable language, where their often primitive forms mix on the canvas with allusive fragments of a vast culture. From scribbles and drawings to words, Twombly’s work profoundly articulates a language and memory of desire where painting, drawing, and writing meld into a single art form. This exquisitely produced volume, complete with six gatefolds, is an important… [detailed...]

Cy Twombly: Cycles and Seasons

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A serious comprehensive overview of Cy Twombly`s art has been much in demand for many years, and in this publication we at last have one. Accompanying a major touring retrospective to mark Twombly`s eightieth year, it surveys a vast output of paintings, drawings and sculpture by an artist whose indifference to supposed distinctions between Pop and abstraction, between writing, drawing and painting, and between literature and art had, for many years, brought his work severe neglect. Twombly`s art upsets the prudish purist with its hybridism, as he declares, `I`m not a pure, I`m not an abstractionist completely. There has to be a history behind the thought.` For Twombly, this history entails a wealth of literary and mythic allusion and an openness to all kinds of forms. Alongside contributions from Richard Shiff, Nicolas Cullinan and Tacita Dean, this essential volume also presents a rare and revealing interview with the artist by Nicholas Serota, an illustrated chronology, an… [detailed...]

Cy Twombly: Fifty Years of Works on Paper: The Drawings at the Hermitage

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionCy Twombly`s gestures are some of the most beloved in 20th century art. The painter, graphic artist, sculptor and photographer is prized above all for the sweeping, scribbled marks that he makes with his drawing instruments. Though mostlyindecipherable, at least on a literal level, Twombly`s colorful, dense gestures are compellingly articulate in their rhythm, line, allusion and mood. Deeply sophisticated and sensual, they follow in the footsteps of Western tradition while speaking resolutely in the hushed and tentative tones of the modern age, defying prevailing stylistic cliches and mediating between the old and new worlds. This exceptional volume presents 50 years of drawings by the artist, most taken from his own personal collection. Foreword by Mikhail Piotrovsky.~Introduction by Simon Schama.

Cy Twombly: New Sculptures 1992-2005

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Cy Twombly: New Sculptures 1998-2005 Primarily known for his paintings and drawings, Cy Twombly has been creating sculpture during his entire career. His characteristic use of poetic and mythic elements is also evident in this field. Out of `mundane` objects such as crates, broomsticks, paper napkins, mashers, stools, string and paper he composes white-painted sculptures. Retaining their everyday identity and materiality the constituent objects take on a condition oblivious to time and change and a life of their own. Fanciful, witty, and at times sarcastic, Twombly transforms his objects, lending them a mythic meaningfulness and a whole new beauty. This publication is the catalog to an exhibition at Munich`s Alte Pinakothek in spring 2006 presenting 33 new sculptures created between 1998 and 2005.

Cy Twombly: Photographs

2002 y.
Publisher: Schirmer/Mosel
Description: This world premiere is an aesthetic sensation. Since his student days in the early 50s, American painter and sculptor Cy Twombly, one of the greatest artists alive today, has concerned himself with photography. In this volume, he presents his photographic work of 50 years to the public for the first time ever. Taking up 19th-century Pictorialist traditions, Twombly`s photographs are, just like his paintings, drawings and sculptures, documents of a profound personal poetry. Studio shots, details of his own statuary, sculptures from his collection, romantic landscapes, flowers, and portraits of friends constitute the cosmos of his photographic oeuvre. Printed with matte colors on matte paper, a special `dryprint` process lends these images a velvety, porous, almost grainy quality. On the stage of today`s art, they touch long-lost chords. Resonant of the concepts of fin de si?cle art they are, yet, thoroughly contemporary in their minimalism, creating an aesthetic vision by the commonest… [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: The American artist Cy Twombly is regarded as one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Starting off from abstract expressionism, he developed his own original style using writing-like signs which he exaggerated in size into monumental,large-format canvases. The presentation at the MUMOK the first in Austria brings together worksfrom all periods of his oeuvre and presents a new cycle of works specially created for the show. Twombly s pictures and sculptures evoke the ancient myths of the Mediterranean world though it is the incidental and underlying that is the focal point.The alternation between sensitivity and vulgarity, filigree technique and expressivity constitute the enormous tension in the works. The exhibition,presented as a retrospective, brings together genres that, up until now, have generally been shown separately sculpture, painting, drawing, graphic works, and photographs.
