After the White House : Former Presidents as Private Citizens

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description What exactly has Bill Clinton been doing since he left office? What can he expect to accomplish? What have his predecssors in his position done? Many presidents have had enormous impacts on the course of history after their terms ended, but not until After the White House has their role been examined. Thirty-two completed their terms. Four became presidential candidates again (one was even elected), two served in Congress, one abandoned his country to accept election to the Confederate Congress, one became Chief Justice, and the most recent former president has the unique distinction of having his First Lady become a United States senator. Former presidents almost always remain influential, but their post-term activities have received little attention or scrutiny until now. [detailed...]

After-Images of the City

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionCriticism on the textual and iconographic construction of the city is extensive, yet the problem of historical change in representations of `the urban` has received little attention. Believing traditional accounts are limited by their reflection of a specific historical moment, Joan Ramon Resina and Dieter Ingenschay focus, by contrast, on transition. In essays written for this volume, scholars of literary and visual studies, the history of architecture, cultural theory, and urban geography explore the ways perceptual or conceptual paradigms of the city supersede or replace others, while at the same time retaining the `after-image` of what went before. The writers touch on a wide variety of issues related to contemporary urban cultures as they journey through cities including New York, Barcelona, Madrid, Paris, Tijuana, Berlin, and London. Drawing on the work of Roland Barthes, Walter Benjamin, Camilo Jose Cela, Honore de Balzac, and Alfred… [detailed...]

Jane Hirshfield
After: Poems

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: `Words are not the end of thought, they are where it begins,` ends the first poem in After , Jane Hirshfield`s extended investigation into incarnation, transience, and our intimate connection with others and with all existence. These alert, incisive, and compassionate poems examine the human condition through subjects ranging from spareness, possibility, judgment, and hidden grief to global warming, insomnia, the meanings to be found in generally over-looked parts of speech, and the metaphysics of sneezing. In respective series of `assays` (meditative imaginative accountings) and `pebbles` (each a `brief, easily pocketable perception that remains incomplete until the reader`s own response awakens inside it`), Hirshfield explores a poetry-making that looks simultaneously outward and inward, finding resonant and precise containers for the deepest currents of our inner life. After is also a book of elegies, both overt and implicit, both personal and culturally… [detailed...]

Publisher: Phaidon Press
Description: After the destruction of the World Trade Center in New York on September 11th 2001, the world-renowned photographer Joel Meyerowitz felt compelled to visit the site. In his own words, he was `overcome by a deep impulse to help, to save, to soothe, but, being far away, there was nothing I could do. On his return, Meyerowitz soon made his way to the scene where, upon raising his camera, he was reminded by a police officer that this was a crime scene and that no photographs were allowed. Meyerowitz duly left the scene but within a few blocks the officer`s reminder had turned into consciousness. To Meyerowitz, `no photographs meant no history` and he decided at that moment to find a way in and make an archive for the City of New York. Within days, he had established strong links with many of the firefighters, policemen and construction workers contributing to the clean up. With their assistance he became the only photographer to be granted unimpeded access to Ground Zero. Once there, he… [detailed...]

Ag4 Media Facades (+DVD-ROM)

2006 y.
Publisher: daab
Description: Ag4 mediatecture company first developed the idea of a transparent media facade as early as 1992. In order to be able to realise this idea and put it into practice, LED technology had to advance to satisfy the special requirements of a media facade. Around the same time there was a rising demand for the number of projects requiring facades to act as communicative interfaces. ag4 thus increasingly faced the challenge of having to motor the development in this direction. However, it was to take eight years until the appropriate ideas could be put into practice and a further four years until the first project of a transparent media facade was realised. Maintaining transparency while being able to medialise large areas in an economically viable way are parameters which guarantee the success of the transparent media facade. Be it as stainless steel wire mesh or panels - compared to the standard LED screen the transparent media facade is superior in terms of size, cost efficiency and… [detailed...]

Against All England: Regional Identity and Cheshire Writing, 1195-1656 (ND ReFormations: Medieval &, Early Modern)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Against All England examines a diverse set of poems, plays, and chronicles produced in Cheshire and its vicinity from the 1190s to the 1650s that collectively argue for the localization of British literary history. These works, including very early monastic writing emanating from St. Werburgh`s Abbey, the Chester Whitsun plays, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, seventeenth-century ceremonials, and various Stanley romances, share in the creation and revision of England`s cultural tradition, demonstrating a vested interest in the intersection of landscape, language, and politics. Barrett`s book grounds itself in Cestrian evidence in order to offer scholars a new, dynamic model of cultural topography, one that acknowledges the complex interlacing of regional and national identities within the longue duree extending from the post-Conquest period to the Restoration. Covering nearly five centuries of literary production within a single geographical location, the book challenges still… [detailed...]

Against All Odds: Keith Haring in the Rubell Family Collection / A pesar de todo: Keith Haring en la colecction de la familia Rubell (Spanish Edition)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Against All Odds reproposes Keith Haring as a political artist who incorporated issues around consumerism, drug addiction and AIDS into his concerns, and casts his art as a joyous expression of Nietzsche`s `will to power,` surmounting cultural malaise with graphic boldness. Haring`s relationship with Don and Mera Rubell began early on in his career, when the Rubells visited the Mudd Club (one of New York`s earliest discos) in 1981, to see an exhibition of graffiti art which Haring had co-curated. This volume contains the entirety of their collection, much of which is reproduced for the first time, and which is contextualized alongside works by Haring`s mentors and friends, Andy Warhol, Francesco Clemente, Jean-Michel Basquiat, George Condo and Tseng Kwong Chi. Mark Coetzee provides a long interview with the Rubells, in which they reminisce on their relationship with Haring. [detailed...]

Against Capitalism

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book is a completely rewritten version of the author`s earlier Capitalism or Worker Control? (first published in 1980). Its central thesis is that, despite the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe and the break-up of the Soviet Union, capitalism cannot be justified on either economic or ethical grounds. There is in fact an alternative to capitalism that promises greater efficiency, and equality, and more rational growth, democracy and meaningful work. This alternative, Economic Democracy, is market socialism with decentralised investment planning and workplace democracy. Professor Schweickart compares this model with other models - laissez-faire conservatism, the Keynesian welfare state, and `neo-liberalism` - and argues that it is really superior on every count. He also sketches out a possible transition from advanced capitalism, from what is left of the centrally planned economies, and from Third World underdevelopment, to Economic Democracy. The author concludes with… [detailed...]

Against Fashion: Clothing as Art, 1850-1930

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe late nineteenth-century invention of `fashion` as we understand it today inspired avant-garde artists of the period to create an art form to counter commercial fashion. These artists saw clothing not as a symbol of class distinction but as a force for shaping experience -- an opportunity to make things new, to go beyond the traditional boundaries of art. For many artists, therefore, dress design was too important to be left to the fashion designers, they would appropriate clothing as an art form that could break through the traditional boundaries of `pure` art to act directly on life. Against Fashion is the history of the modern relationship between artists and this ideal `anti-fashion.` Radu Stern traces the development of clothes as art by artists of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He discusses contributions to the new art form by various artistic movements of the historical avant-garde, including Art Nouveau, the Werkbund,… [detailed...]
