The Artemisia Files : Artemisia Gentileschi for Feminists and Other Thinking People

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description One of the first female artists to achieve recognition in her own time, Artemisia Gentileschi (1593-1653) became instantly popular in the 1970s when feminist art historians `discovered` her and argued vehemently for a place for her in the canon of Italian baroque painters. Featured alongside her father, Orazio Gentileschi, in a recent exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Artemisia has continued to stir interest though her position in the canon remains precarious, in part because her sensationalized life history has overshadowed her art. In The Artemisia Files , Mieke Bal and her coauthors look squarely at this early icon of feminist art history and the question of her status as an artist. Considering the events that shaped her life and reputation--her relationship to her father and her role as the victim in a highly publicized rape case during which she was tortured into giving evidence--the authors make the case that Artemisia`s importance… [detailed...]

Mark Turner
The Artful Mind: Cognitive Science and the Riddle of Human Creativity

2006 y.
Publisher: Oxford University Press
Description: All normal human beings alive in the last fifty thousand years appear to have possessed, in Mark Turner`s phrase, `irrepressibly artful minds.` Cognitively modern minds produced a staggering list of behavioral singularities--science, religion, mathematics, language, advanced tool use, decorative dress, dance, culture, art--that seems to indicate a mysterious and unexplained discontinuity between us and all other living things. This brute fact gives rise to some tantalizing questions: How did the artful mind emerge? What are the basic mental operations that make art possible for us now, and how do they operate? These are the questions that occupy the distinguished contributors to this volume, which emerged from a year-long Getty-funded research project hosted by the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford. These scholars bring to bear a range of disciplinary and cross-disciplinary perspectives on the relationship between art (broadly conceived), the mind, and… [detailed...]

The Articulated Peasant: Household Economies in the Andes

Publisher: —
Description: Based on Enrique Mayer`s 30 years of research in Peru, this collection of new and revised essays presents in one accessible volume Mayer`s most significant statements on Andean peasant economies from precolonial times to the present. As a result, The Articulated Peasant is noteworthy as a sustained examination of household economies through changing historical circumstances, while considering also the relationship of the environment to systems of land use and agricultural production, notably through `verticality models` of exchange between environmental zones. Though the volume stresses the Andean context, its relevancy is wider. It will resonate with people and organizations struggling with issues of development in Latin America or elsewhere where the units of production and consumption are largely household based.

The Artisan of Ipswich : Craftsmanship and Community in Colonial New England

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description Thomas Dennis emigrated to America from England in 1663, settling in Ipswich, a Massachusetts village a long day`s sail north of Boston. He had apprenticed in joinery, the most common method of making furniture in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Britain, and he became Ipswich`s second joiner, setting up shop in the heart of the village. During his lifetime, Dennis won wide renown as an artisan. Today, connoisseurs judge his elaborately carved furniture as among the best produced in seventeenth-century America. Robert Tarule, historian and accomplished craftsman, brilliantly recreates Dennis`s world in recounting how he created a single oak chest. Writing as a woodworker himself, Tarule vividly portrays Dennis walking through the woods looking for the right trees, sawing and splitting the wood on site, and working in his shop on the chest -- planing, joining, and carving. Dennis inherited a knowledge of wood and woodworking that dated back centuries before… [detailed...]

The Artist as Monster: The Cinema of David Cronenberg

2006 y.
Publisher: University of Toronto Press
Description: David Cronenberg is one of the most fascinating filmmakers in the world today. His provocative work has stimulated debate and received major retrospectives in museums, galleries, and cinematheques around the world. William Beard’s The Artist as Monster was the first book-length scholarly work in English on Cronenberg’s films, analyzing all of his features from Stereo (1969) to Crash (1996). In this paperback edition, Beard includes new chapters on eXistenZ (1999) and Spider (2002). Through close readings and visual analyses, Beard argues that the structure of Cronenberg’s cinema is based on a dichotomy between, on the one hand, order, reason, repression, and control, and on the other, liberation, sexuality, disease, and the disintegration of self and of the boundaries that define society. The instigating figure in the films is a scientist character who, as Cronenberg evolves as a filmmaker, gradually metamorphoses into an artist, with the ground of… [detailed...]

The Artist as Producer : Russian Constructivism in Revolution

2005 y.

Description: Book Description The Artist as Producer reshapes our understanding of the fundamental contribution of the Russian avant-garde to the development of modernism. Focusing on the single most important hotbed of Constructivist activity in the early 1920s--the Institute of Artistic Culture (INKhUK) in Moscow--Maria Gough offers a powerful reinterpretation of the work of the first group of artists to call themselves Constructivists. Her lively narrative ranges from famous figures such as Aleksandr Rodchenko to others who are much less well known, such as Karl Ioganson, a key member of the state-funded INKhUK whose work paved the way for an eventual dematerialization of the integral art object. Through the mining of untapped archives and collectionsin Russia and Latvia and a close reading of key Constructivist works, Gough highlights fundamental differences among the Moscow group in their handling of the experimental new sculptural form--the spatial construction--and of their… [detailed...]
