In and Out of Focus: Images from Central Africa, 1885-1960

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description This book accompanies an exhibition at the National Museum of African Art, Smithsonian Institution, on the role of photography in Central Africa. This is the first book to link two related themes: the role of photographic images in constructing and circulating fantasies, ideas, and sentiments in Europe and the US relating to the peoples of Central Africa, and the role of photography in enabling Africans to project images of themselves by becoming familiar with photographic technology. Broad in thematic and temporal scope, the book focuses on several time periods, especially on the years before and between the two world wars. This is also the first publication devoted to the important holdings of the Eliot Elisofen PhotographicArchives, a department of the National Museum of African Art, Smithsonian Institution and a unique repository with more than 200,000 historical and contemporary images from all over Africa. This book raises important issues… [detailed...]

Sara Midda
In and Out of the Garden

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Sara Midda`s richly illustrated In and Out of the Garden has delighted readers and critics alike. Diana Vreeland praised it as `delightful and delicious,` and Laura Ashley called it `pure inspiration.` The most elegant and subtle of books to give and to have, it evokes the English gardens of Sara Midda`s childhood, sowing the imagination with glorious images. Dozens and dozens of illustrations and tender reflections recall a hut in the wood, or a topiary maze, a summer day spent podding peas, or an herb patch that yields Biblical fragrances. Ruby-red radishes are the jewels of the underworld. Myriad colors fall upon warm green moss. Painted with Sara Midda`s fine brush, it is a book of lasting enchantment. [detailed...]

In den spaten Jahren begehr ich nur die Stille (German Edition)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Die vorliegende Gedichtsammlung ist das Ergebnis eines neuen Versuches, Lyrik aus dem alten China ins Deutsche zu ubertragen. Der Autor, sinologisch geschult, hat sich die Aufgabe gestellt, die formalen Elemente der originalen chinesischen Gedichte bei einer Ubertragung ins Deutsche nachzuempfinden, eingedenk der Tatsache, dass die Chinesen die Qualitat eines klassischen Gedichtes weniger durch den Inhalt definierten als durch die Form. Anders als zahlreiche Vorganger vermeidet er dabei bewusst jede Uberhohung, jeden Versuch, eine Bedeutungsschwere in die Gedichte zu legen, die ihnen nicht zukommt. Der Autor nahert sich den chinesischen Gedichten in einer nuchternen, kritischen und wenig schwarmerischen Art und scheut sich auch nicht, das Formelhafte in den Versen offen zu legen. Auf diese Art stellt er das lebensnahe, nuchterne Element als das besonders Reizvolle chinesischer Gedichte heraus. [detailed...]

In the Belly of the Beast: Holding Your Own in Mass Culture

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe Beast in the title refers to the crude materialistic culture that is so pervasive in a society dominated by mass media. Gulbekian shows spiritual seekers that, rather than shunning this perceived evil, you can actively and spirituallyengage it, thereby transforming it from the inside out. Part 1 introduces this concept of getting within the skin of pop culture in order to change it and yourself for the better. Part 2 examines a diverse blend of pop culture happenings from the past decade and shows you how cultural events can be transformed into an opportunity for spiritual growth. From Gangsta Rap and `Beavis and Butt-head` to Prince Charles and Princess Diana, to media coverage of the Persian Gulf War, `In the Belly of the Beast` illustrates how these mainstream cultural trends are symptoms of larger undercurrents in the spiritual world and so need to be understood rather than avoided.

In the Blink of an Ear: Toward a Non-Cochlear Sonic Art

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Polemical, revisionist, prescriptive: In The Blink of an Ear argues for a reassessment of the short history of sound art, rejecting the tendency toward sound-in-itself in favour of a reading of sound s expanded situation and its uncontainable textuality.It has been nearly a century since Marcel Duchamp famously proposed a non-retinal visual art, rejecting judgments of taste and beauty. In The Blink of an Ear asks why the sonic arts did not experience a parallel turn toward a non-cochlear sonic art, imagined as both a response and a complement to Duchamp s conceptualism. Rather than treat sound art as an artistic practice unto itself, or as the unwanted child of music, In The Blink of an Ear relates the post-War sonic arts to contemporaneous movements in the gallery arts.Key ideas from art history, poststructuralism and deconstruction are leveraged to suggest that the sonic arts have been subject to the same cultural pressures that have shaped the most important post-war movements in… [detailed...]

In the Break: The Aesthetics of the Black Radical Tradition

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIn his controversial essay on white jazz musician Burton Greene, Amiri Baraka asserted that jazz was exclusively an African American art form and explicitly fused the idea of a black aesthetic with radical political traditions of the African diaspora. In the Break is an extended riff on `The Burton Greene Affair,` exploring the tangled relationship between black avant-garde in music and literature in the 1950s and 1960s, the emergence of a distinct form of black cultural nationalism, and the complex engagement with and disavowal of homoeroticism that bridges the two. Fred Moten focuses in particular on the brilliant improvisatory jazz of John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, Albert Ayler, Eric Dolphy, Charles Mingus, and others, arguing that all black performance-culture, politics, sexuality, identity, and blackness itself-is improvisation. For Moten, improvisation provides a unique epistemological standpoint from which to investigate the provocative connections between… [detailed...]

Description: Book DescriptionWe`re filling up the world with technology and devices, but we`ve lost sight of an important question: What is this stuff for? What value does it add to our lives? So asks author John Thackara in his new book, In the Bubble: Designing for a Complex World . These are tough questions for the pushers of technology to answer. Our economic system is centered on technology, so it would be no small matter if `tech` ceased to be an end-in-itself in our daily lives. Technology is not going to go away, but the time to discuss the end it will serve is before we deploy it, not after. We need to ask what purpose will be served by the broadband communications, smart materials, wearable computing, and connected appliancesthat we`re unleashing upon the world. We need to ask what impact all this stuff will have on our daily lives. Who will look after it, and how? In the Bubble is about a world based less on stuff and more on people…. [detailed...]
