Beatriz Milhazes

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Colorful as Carmen Miranda, the paintings of Beatriz Milhazes are a mA©lange of iconographic Brazilian imagery, drawing from folk art, crafts, jewelry, tropical nature, and the splash of carnival, all funneled through a modernist sensibility. Vibrant swirls, bold stripes, and intricate rosettes show both delicacy and sweep in a practice situated somewhere between figuration and abstraction. `Color is the core of my work,` Milhazes says in an extensive interview with fashion designer Christian Lacroix included in this compact catalogue covering paintings from 1996 to 2004, originally exhibited at the Domaine de Kerguehennec in Bignon, France. An essay by Simon Wallis of the Institute of Contemporary Art in London and an introduction by FrA©dA©ric Paul place this recent work within the context of her oeuvre. Essays by Simon Wallis, Christian Lacroix and FA©dA©ric Paul. Hardcover, 7 x 9.5 in./136 pgs / Illustrated throughout. [detailed...]

Beautiful Boys/Outlaw Bodies : Devising Kabuki Female-Likeness

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description This book is a feminist reading of the history of gender performance and construction of the female role players, onnagata, of the Kabuki theater. It is not limited to a `theater arts` focus, rather it is a mapping and close analysisof transformative genders through several historical periods in Japan (the seventeenth through the twentieth centuries). In particular, the work focuses on undoing of binary genders, the sensual ambiguity of boy-ness, youth, and female-likeness and the cultural development of the aesthetics of eroticism, nostalgia, and cruelty based in female-like transformative gender acts. The work is also a visual cultures study as it draws not only on literary sources but also prints, photographs, film, and video documentation. [detailed...]

Beautiful Cosmos: Performance and Belonging in the Caribbean Diaspora

2007 y.
Publisher: Pluto Press
Description: What are the musical sounds that people remember in the diaspora? What are the sounds they create? Recognizing the importance that people attach to musical performances, this book explores the significance of widespread Caribbean genres in diaspora politics. Ramnarine uses ethnographic approaches to unravel creative processes of memory, innovation and production and to interrogate geographies of musical canons, hybridity discourses and culture theory. She challenges us to rethink diaspora as only being about displacement, to move beyond the limits of marginalization and otherness, and to imagine the possibilities of `beautiful cosmos`. Asking `where is home in the diaspora?` this book presents radical perspectives in the study of diaspora. [detailed...]

Andrew Epstein
Beautiful Enemies: Friendship and Postwar American Poetry

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Although it has long been commonplace to imagine the archetypal American poet singing a solitary `Song of Myself,` much of the most enduring American poetry has actually been preoccupied with the drama of friendship. In this lucid and absorbing study, Andrew Epstein argues that an obsession with both the pleasures and problems of friendship erupts in the `New American Poetry` that emerges after the Second World War. By focusing on some of the most significant postmodernist American poets-the `New York School` poets John Ashbery, Frank O`Hara, and their close contemporary Amiri Baraka-Beautiful Enemies reveals a fundamental paradox at the heart of postwar American poetry and culture: the avant-garde`s commitment to individualism and nonconformity runs directly counter to its own valorization of community and collaboration. By situating his extensive and revealing readings of these highly influential poets against the backdrop of Cold War cultural politics and within the context of… [detailed...]

Beautiful Game Is over: The Globalisation of Football

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In 1930 the great Conservative statesman Arthur James Balfour lay dying at Fishers Hill, the Surrey home of his brother, Gerald Balfour. Among those who visited him was the medium `Mrs Willett` - Winfred Coombe-Tennant - whose powerful vision of a young woman watching lovingly over the ailing politician she subsequently recorded. For a group of psychical researchers, the death of Arthur Balfour marked the culmination of one of the most famous incidents in the history of mediumship - the so-called Palm Sunday Case. In his youth, Arthur Balfour had fallen in love with the vivacious Mary Catherine Lyttelton, only for her to die of typhus on Palm Sunday, 1876, soon after he had decided to propose when next they met. Then, in the early 1900s, a number of mediums began to produce automatic scripts that purported to be dictated by `entities` from beyond the grave, including Mary Lyttelton. Through a rich skein of poetic and Classical allusions, the souls spoke of survival after… [detailed...]

Beautiful Jim Key: The Lost History of the World`s Smartest Horse

Description: Beautiful Jim Key -- the one-time ugly duckling of a scrub colt who became one of the most beloved heroes of the turn of the century -- was adored not for his beauty and speed but rather for his remarkable abilities to read, write, spell, do mathematics, even debate politics. Trained with patience and kindness by one of the most renowned horse whisperers of his day -- former slave, Civil War veteran, and self-taught veterinarian Dr. William Key -- Jim performed in expositions across the country to wildly receptive crowds for nine glorious years, smashing box office records, clearing towering hurdles of skepticism and prejudice, and earning the respect and admiration of some of the most influential figures of the era, from Booker T. Washington to President William McKinley. This is the remarkable true saga of a truly exceptional animal -- and the no less exceptional man who led him to greatness. [detailed...]

Beautiful Losers: Contemporary Art And Street Culture

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The greatest cultural accomplishments in history have never been the result of the brainstorms of marketing men, corporate focus groups, or any homogenized methods, they have always happened organically. More often than not, these manifestations have been the result of a few like-minded people coming together to create something new and original for no other purpose than a common love of doing it. In the 1990s, a loose-knit group of American artists and creators, many just out of their teens, began their careers in just such a way. Influenced by the popular underground youth subcultures of the day, such as skateboarding, graffiti, street fashion, and independent music, artists like Shepard Fairey, Mark Gonzales, Spike Jonze, Margaret Kilgallen, Mike Mills, Barry McGee, Phil Frost, Chris Johanson, Harmony Korine, and Ed Templeton began to create art that reflected the lifestyles they led. Many had no formal training and almost no conception of the inner workings of the art world. They… [detailed...]

Beautiful Mates: Applying Principles of Beauty to Computer Chess Heuristics

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: A synopsis of eminent computer chess programs reveal that they are designed around a `brute force` approach. An argument is made that by continuing the `brute force` search approach, computer chess development is moving away from human evaluation methods. Research is done into studies of evaluation methods, and a discovery is made that humans use a form of intuition, called their `sense of beauty`, to choose the best chess move. A paper by Margulies is cited which formulates principles of beauty whichapply to chess. Three versions of a chess program are developed, using no heuristics, standard chess heuristics, and beauty heuristics formulated from Margulies principles. The performance of the three versions of the program are compared using chess puzzles, and rated for how quickly they find the solution, and how few nodes they evaluate. Graphs are produced from the results of these tests, showing that beauty heuristics are, on average, 15% faster at finding the solution, and… [detailed...]
