Asian Jewellery - Ethnic Rings, Bracelets, Necklaces, Earrings, Belts, Head Ornaments from the Gysels collection | Bérénice Geoffroy-Schneiter usato

The ultimate reference book on the ethnic jewellery of Asian peoples. A comprehensive picture of jewellery beginning with prehistory and continuing into the 20th century with the works of contemporary designers. Ivory, beads, leather, shells, enamel work, precious metals, and stones, alone or in combination, are all illustrated throughout. Pieces chosen for their exceptional quality and historical importance, through wonderfully composed photographs, come to life here. It is rare for jewellery to have a solely aesthetic purpose, for above all it is anchored in the social, religious and political contexts that lend it meaning. Differing attitudes are explained by the function assigned to jewellery in the traditional societies from which the examples in the book are drawn.

Dennis Oppenheim. Explorations | Germano Celant usato Arte Contemporanea

Dennis Oppenheim. Explorations | Germano Celant usato Arte Contemporanea

One of the most adventurous American artists working today, Dennis Oppenheim has centered his artistic investigations on the dialogue between art and the self. An active innovator since the sixties, Oppenheim has pioneered both body art and so-called land art. Most famous for his whimsical, large-scale installation pieces, Oppenheim has worked with a variety of mediums: from performance and video art, to three dimensional moving machine pieces, and sculptural works employing unorthodox materials. This book is a comprehensive compendium of Oppenheim's art, his most complete monograph to date, and includes an interview with the artist. From a giant metallic upside-down church, to a group of human-sized hot dogs in sleeping bags gathered around a campfire, Oppenheim's work is alternately strange, humorous, and fascinating.

Silkscreens | John Stezaker usato Arte Contemporanea

Silkscreens | John Stezaker usato Arte Contemporanea

Although best known for his small-scale intimate collages of film stills, postcards and other found imagery, John Stezaker's silkscreens reveal another side of the artist. A comprehensive group of these mid- to large-scale silkscreens (1977-94) are brought together here for the first time. They include manipulated imagery of kissing couples, disembodied men and woman, floating baby-heads as well as film stills. While, at first, this body of work seems to stand in contrast to the collages, the silkscreens employ many of the same techniques - cutting out, cropping, slicing and over-laying - that are seen throughout Stezaker's practice. Over 80 images are accompanied by an essay Caoimh n Mac Giolla L ith, the first text to discuss the artist's silkscreens as a whole body of work.

Twentieth-century American painting | Gail Levin usato Arte Contemporanea

Twentieth-century American painting | Gail Levin usato Arte Contemporanea

Spanning the range of important twentieth century American artists the Thyssen Bornemisza Collection is unique in Europe. Although American contemporary artists beginning with the Abstract Expressionists and Pop Artists have been widely exhibited and collected in Europe, 20th century American painting before the Second World War was virtually unknown to Europeans until the last decade.In her introduction, Gail Levin has written a comprehensive overview of the history of twentieth century American painting. She examines the American fascination with both the European tradition and Avant-Garde, and the American artists search for a native style. She follows this essay with detailed analyses of the 127 paintings and drawings in the collection, all reproduced in colour and accompanied by comparative illustrations. Brief biographies of the artists follow the catalogue section, and the volume concludes with a general index.

Līlāvatī of Bhāskarācārya - A Treatise of Mathematics of Vedic Tradition | Krishnaji Shankara Patwardhan, S. A. Naimpally , Shyam Lal Singh usato

Līlāvatī of Bhāskarācārya - A Treatise of Mathematics of Vedic Tradition | Krishnaji Shankara Patwardhan, S. A. Naimpally , Shyam Lal Singh usato

In 1150 AD, Bhaskaracarya (b. 1114 AD), renowned mathematician and astronomer of Vedic tradition composed Lilavati as the first part of his larger work called Siddhanta Siromani, a comprehensive exposition of arithmetic, algebra, geometry, mensuration, number theory and related topics. Lilavati has been used as a standard textbook for about 800 years. This lucid, scholarly and literary presentation has been translated into several languages of the world. Bhaskaracarya himself never gave any derivations of his formulae. N.H. Phadke (1902-1973) worked hard to construct proofs of several mathematical methods and formulae given in original Lilavati. The present work is an enlargement of his Marathi work and attempts a thorough mathematical explanation of definitions, formulae, short cuts and methodology as intended by Bhaskara. Stitches are followed by literal translations so that the reader can enjoy and appreciate the beauty of accurate and musical presentation in Lilavati. The book is useful to school going children, sophomores, teachers, scholars, historians and those working for cause of mathematics.

Rites of Power - Symbolism, Ritual, and Politics Since the Middle Ages | Sean Wilentz usato Storia Storiografia Temi

Rites of Power - Symbolism, Ritual, and Politics Since the Middle Ages | Sean Wilentz usato Storia Storiografia Temi

Rites of Power provides a sweeping overview of the symbolism of power from tenth-century France to modern Britain. Approaching their topic from an eclectic range of intellectual traditions, the authors turn the study of politics, social relations, and cultural creation into a single endeavor.The essays begin with three assumptions: that all societies are ordered and governed by "master fictions" (divine right, equality for all) which make political hierarchy appear natural; that political rhetoric includes nonverbal communication (royal portraits, statistics on crop yields); and that common rhetoric can mean different things to various segments of a culture ("states' rights" during the American Civil War).Societies studied include France and Spain in the Middle Ages, post-Revolutionary France, the modern British monarchy, tsarist Russia, colonial Virginia, and industrial Germany. The essays were selected to provide methodological as well as historical coverage; the result is a comprehensive treatment along the cutting edge of several disciplines. This book will appeal to scholars and students in the fields of history, political science, sociology, anthropology, and art history.

Symbols and Rebuses in Chinese Art - Figures, bugs, beasts, and flowers | Fang Jing Pei usato Arte Moderna

Symbols and Rebuses in Chinese Art - Figures, bugs, beasts, and flowers | Fang Jing Pei usato Arte Moderna

Almost every early culture once had a system of symbols that was eventually replaced with a spoken and then written language. In Chinese culture, the evolution of symbols and their meanings took a slightly different and unique path. Rather than the visual symbols being replaced by the written language, in China, the symbols themselves evolved into the written language. In SYMBOLS AND REBUSES IN CHINESE ART, author Fang Jing Pei catalogs the hundreds of symbols in Chinese artistry, and describes each of their meanings. (A rebus is a pictorial representation of a word or syllable.) He explains, for instance, why a depiction of a bat can mean happiness, and why some beautiful images, such as sparrows and pears, are rarely seen. Using myths, folklore, history, and religion to explore the significance of each symbol, Fang presents a comprehensive understanding of the important role symbolism has played, and continues to play, in Chinese culture.An A-to-Z catalog of the hundreds of symbols represented in the Chinese arts, with images and text to explore their meanings.Includes more than 200 color and black-and-white images of ceramics, porcelains, carvings, lacquers, embroidery, paintings, and wood blocks depicting the various symbols.

The Enemy - An Intellectual Portrait of Carl Schmitt | Gopal Balakrishnan usato Storia Biografie Diari e Memorie

The Enemy - An Intellectual Portrait of Carl Schmitt | Gopal Balakrishnan usato Storia Biografie Diari e Memorie

The writings of Carl Schmitt form what is arguably the most disconcerting, original, and yet still unfamiliar body of twentieth-century political thought. In the English-speaking world, he is terra incognita, a name associated with Nazism, the author of a largely untranslated oeuvre forming no recognizable system, coming to us from a disturbing place and time in the form of fragments. The Enemy is a comprehensive intertextual reconstruction and analysis of all of Schmitt's major works—his books, articles and pamphlets from 1919–1950—presented in an arresting narrative form. This form reveals the complex ways in which his ideas took shape in the intertwining time lines of civil and world wars and retraces the path of his interventions on the constantly shifting battlefield of the inter-war era. The lines of thought which emerge out of this meticulous study on democracy, constitutional law and international law will be startling to those who know nothing about Schmitt, as well as to those who have had to rely on the existing secondary literature to form an opinion of him. For the first time, the stature and topicality of this disturbing figure is incontrovertibly demonstrated.

Quentin Skinner - History, Politics, Rhetoric | Kari Palonen usato Storia Storiografia Temi

Quentin Skinner - History, Politics, Rhetoric | Kari Palonen usato Storia Storiografia Temi

This book is the first comprehensive exposition of the work of one of the most important intellectual historians and political theorists writing today.Quentin Skinner's treatment of political theory as a dimension of political life marks a revolutionary move in the historical as well as the philosophical study of political thought. Skinner brings the study of political theory closer to the language of agents and treats theorists as politicians of a special kind. This is as true of his accounts of his contemporaries, such as Rawls, Rorty, Geertz and Habermas, as it is of his interpretations of classical thinkers such as Machiavelli and Hobbes. Skinner has become internationally renowned for this approach, which ties together historical and contemporary analysis in order to integrate the study of the past and the present, and which tries fully to uncover the historical context and development of key concepts in political theory such as freedom and the state.This volume charts Skinner's work from the early 1960s right up to the present, including his most recent studies in the theory of persuasive speech, and is organized around five major themes: history, linguistic action, political thought, liberty and rhetoric. It pays particular attention to Skinner's work in relation to that of continental thinkers, especially Max Weber and Reinhart Koselleck.The book will be essential reading for students and scholars of political and social theory, history, philosophy and cultural studies.

La rivolta dei figli dello stato | Michael D'Antonio usato Storia Contemporanea

La rivolta dei figli dello stato | Michael D'Antonio usato Storia Contemporanea

A partire dall'inizio del XX secolo, i funzionari del servizio sanitario degli USA hanno impiegato i test per calcolare il QI per la selezione dei bambini definiti "deficienti mentali", rinchiudendoli in speciali scuole statali istituite all'occorrenza. Il libro è la storia drammatica e minuziosamente ricostruita di un gruppo di ragazzi rinchiusi nella Scuola Statale Fernald, nello Stato del Massachusetts, i quali non accettarono mai la loro condizione di reclusi e rivendicarono la propria normalità. Ispirati da quello che appresero sui movimenti nazionali per i diritti civili, si ribellarono ai loro carcerieri prendendo il controllo del reparto in cui erano stati rinchiusi e reclamando i propri diritti.

The art of the nasty | Nigel Wingrove, Marc Morris usato Spettacolo Cinema

The art of the nasty | Nigel Wingrove, Marc Morris usato Spettacolo Cinema

A stunning visual record of a unique design legacy. The most comprehensive collection of video nasty and pre-certificate video sleeves ever reproduced in one volume. FULLY REVISED AND UPDATED. This brand new FAB Press edition has more than 100 new video nasty sleeves, which were not included in the original pressing, to increase the total number of videos covered in the book to almost 450. In addition, the text has been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect the knowledge gained about this era in the intervening 10 years since the book was first published. And this time the book is in hardback format to ensure its long-lasting durability. The Art of the Nasty explains and conveys the media furore, fear and the rush for political legislation that greeted the arrival of uncensored horror films on video in the UK. The hysteria was generated and fuelled as much by the sleeves and marketing as by the films themselves. In fact, many of the biggest critics of the 'nasties' only ever saw the sleeves. Some of the early video sleeves are indeed an unbelievably bold and over-the-top mixture of outrageous graphics and in-your-face visual shock tactics, guaranteed to offend. Banned by an Act of Parliament after a frenzied and hysterical press campaign, the video nasty was deemed at the time to be a threat to society as we know it, even being implicated by career politicians and journalists as a catalyst for murder. The Art of the Nasty reproduces almost 450 pre-certificate video covers in all their lurid glory, from the ludicrous and extreme imagery of SS Experiment Camp and the gross savagery of Cannibal Holocaust to the powerful and confrontational image of a rape victim used to promote I Spit on Your Grave. Covering the whole gamut of pre-certificate video sleeves, from the 'Official' 39 nasties which were found obscene by the Director of Public Prosecutions through to sleaze epics like Killer Nun and Violation of the Bitch, The Art of the Nasty is an invaluable visual record of a time the mainstream video industry would like to forget.

Come nasce un'idea - Intelligenza, creatività, genio nell'era della distrazione | Alberto Oliverio usato Scienze umane Psicologia

Come nasce un'idea - Intelligenza, creatività, genio nell'era della distrazione | Alberto Oliverio usato Scienze umane Psicologia

Creativi si nasce o si diventa? Cosa distingue il genio artistico di Picasso o di Mozart dall'abilità con cui Darwin o Keplero hanno saputo guardare alla realtà con occhi nuovi? In che modo è possibile sviluppare una mente creativa? Come mettere a frutto le idee dei singoli, così da potenziare le capacità di innovazione e adattamento di un gruppo produttivo e di una società? Alberto Oliverio traccia un panorama completo dei diversi aspetti della creatività: le sue radici biologiche e culturali, le caratteristiche della personalità creativa, i meccanismi percettivi e neuronali attraverso cui il cervello è in grado di elaborare idee innovative. Dalle vicende storiche di personaggi come Galileo, Beethoven, Proust, Freud, apprendiamo che il genio è in gran parte innato, ma che la creatività è anche tecnica e disciplina: possiamo svilupparla, e soprattutto occorre tenerla allenata. A questo scopo, Oliverio propone accanto alla riflessione teorica un'ampia gamma di esercizi, test ed esperimenti pratici studiati per stimolarci a pensare fuori dagli schemi, e soprattutto al di là delle distrazioni che continuamente "dirottano" l'attività della mente verso le mille piccole emergenze della nostra vita lavorativa e familiare.

Manabō! Nihongo - Corso di giapponese per principianti (Livello 1) | Francesco Comotti, Andrea Maurizi, Francesco Vitucci usato Manualistica Varia

Manabō! Nihongo - Corso di giapponese per principianti (Livello 1) | Francesco Comotti, Andrea Maurizi, Francesco Vitucci usato Manualistica Varia

"Manabò! Nihongo" è un corso per imparare il giapponese rivolto a principianti, che fornisce le conoscenze grammaticali e lessicali utili al raggiungimento del livello 5 previsto dal Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT N5). Ha una struttura modulare divisa in unità tematiche, con esercizi che pongono l'accento sulle costruzioni sintattiche e sull'acquisizione immediata di un ricco lessico. Tutti gli esercizi sono preceduti da un esempio. La sezione dedicata ai dialoghi e ai fumetti è un'ottima occasione per stimolare la pratica del rephrasing e l'uso della lingua in situazioni di vita quotidiana attraverso l'immedesimazione in un gruppo di studenti stranieri in Giappone, ciascuno dei quali apprende la lingua con finalità diverse. Pubblicato per la prima volta nel 2005 dall'editore giapponese Senmon Kyòiku, questo corso si è dimostrato molto efficace per gli studenti stranieri. I curatori dell'edizione italiana lo hanno dapprima adottato nella versione originale per i propri percorsi didattici e poi arricchito con le osservazioni scaturite da queste esperienze, senza alterarne l'impostazione pedagogica. In particolare, per facilitare gli studenti italiani sono stati introdotti: gli specchietti grammaticali in italiano tra un argomento e le frasi di esempio; le consegne degli esercizi in italiano; i titoletti in italiano; la traduzione in italiano delle tavole e del glossario.
