Aaron Copland. The Life and Work of an Uncommon Man | Howard Pollack usato Musica Musica

Aaron Copland. The Life and Work of an Uncommon Man | Howard Pollack usato Musica Musica

One of America's most beloved and accomplished composers, Aaron Copland played a crucial role in American music's coming of age. Indeed, Copland masterworks like Appalachian Spring and A Lincoln Portrait only begin to tell the epic story of a career spent composing a wealth of music for opera, ballet, chorus, orchestra, chamber ensemble, band, radio, and film. Howard Pollack's expansive biography examines Copland's long list of accomplishments while also telling the story of the composer's musical development, political sympathies, personal life, relationships as an openly gay man, and tireless encouragement of younger composers. A winner of the Pulitzer Prize and an Academy Award, Copland played a vital role in the Yaddo Festival and as a beloved teacher at Tanglewood, Harvard, and the New School for Social Research. He turned to conducting later in life and via tours promoted American classical music overseas while taking it to appreciative audiences across the United States.

Blackout | Dan Holdsworth, Oliver Morton usato Fotografici Fotografia

Blackout | Dan Holdsworth, Oliver Morton usato Fotografici Fotografia

Occupying a space between the documentary and the make-believe, Dan Holdsworth's photographs transform Icelandic glaciers into a strange and futuristic landscape. In Blackout the landscape is present only as a brooding, eerie image of itself: the blue of the sky has become the deep black of space, while the earth appears in pale negative. This lunarlike terrain humbles the viewer before a foreign, awe-inspiring nature and repositions the notion of the romantic sublime.

In Freud's tracks - Conversations from the Journal of European Psychoanalysis | Sergio Benvenuto, Anthony Molino usato Scienze umane Psicologia

In Freud's tracks - Conversations from the Journal of European Psychoanalysis | Sergio Benvenuto, Anthony Molino usato Scienze umane Psicologia

The privileged link of psychoanalysis to spoken language does not necessarily facilitate communication among analysts and psychotherapists of different mother tongues. The Journal of European Psychoanalysis-published since 1995-has long sought to overcome these linguistic barriers. Traditionally, it has introduced English readers to important European authors, as well as to authors of Latin American countries whose paradigms are close to European "styles." Freed of the editorial and political constraints that often govern the official organs of schools and institutions, the Journal of European Psychoanalysis has, for many years, regularly featured conversations with some of the most prominent and brilliant figures in contemporary psychoanalysis: highlighting debates and trends within psychoanalysis and related fields while remaining ever-sensitive to the practical, ethical, and theoretical implications of clinical practice. In Freud's Tracks collects some of the most engaging and provocative of these conversations, thus tracing a recent history of psychoanalysis in Europe while also evidencing the discipline's vital and vibrant connections with the fields of politics and social policy, science and philosophy, cultural studies and the social sciences.

Sophy Rickett | AA.VV. usato Arte Contemporanea

Sophy Rickett | AA.VV. usato Arte Contemporanea

Sophy Rickett's work explores the competing forces of light and darkness in defining and articulating space, often alluding to a sense of the infinite. Made mainly at night, and often in peripheral or mundane environments, her work ponders the potential of photography to conceal as much as reveal. In both color and black & white, her photographs cohere around strong formal properties, and are often minimal in character, playing on the latent narrative possibilities of place. This book surveys Rickett's work from the mid-nineties to the present; from her early performative series through to the successive series of nocturnal landscapes, made in the UK, Italy and Japan, for which she has achieved international recognition.

Knots and Surfaces | N. D. Gilbert, T. Porter usato Scienze Matematica e Ingegneria

It expertly introduces several topics critical to the development of pure mathematics while providing an account of math "in action" in an unusual context. Beginning with a simple diagrammatic approach to the study of knots that reflects the artistic and geometric appeal of interlaced forms, Knots and Surfaces takes the reader through recent research advances. Topics include topological spaces, surfaces, the fundamental group, graphs, free groups, and group presentations. The authors skillfully combine these topics to form a coherent and highly developed theory to explore and explain the accessible and intuitive problems of knots and surfaces to students and researchers in mathematics.

Dopo il fumo - Sono il n. A 5384 di Auschwitz Birkenau | Liana Millu usato Storia Biografie Diari e Memorie

A collection of writings and talks given by Millu to audiences on different occasions. During the war she was interned in Auschwitz. She relates to the importance of witnessing the Holocaust, to the process of dehumanization in the Lager, and to the effect of the camp experience on the survivor. The discovery of a little piece of pencil just after the liberation, and the writing of her name in a diary, means for Millu the re-appropriation of her humanity and her liberty, while emphasizing the importance of memory and testimony. In the preface (pp. 7-12) and in three essays (pp. 61-66, 85-94) Stefani reflects on the importance of survivor testimony and the meaning of faith for camp prisoners.

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.

Talk and Social Structure - Studies in Ethnomethodology and Conversation Analysis | Deirdre Boden, Don H. Zimmerman usato Scienze umane Antropologia

Talk and Social Structure is an up-to-date and provocative survey of current developments combining the complementary fields of ethnomethodology and conversation analysis. The book provides a distinctive debate that relates these innovative areas to important issues in the social sciences. Including contributions from many of the world leaders in these fields, the book offers both new theoretical depth and an extensive range of empirical studies that focus on the reflexive relation of everyday talk and social structure. Contributors include Emanuel A. Schegloff, John Heritage, Thomas P. Wilson, Hugh Mehan, Douglas W. Maynard, George Psathas, Paul ten Have, Robert Hopper, Hanneke Houtkoop-Steenstra, Graham Button, and David Greatbatch, with a thematic chapter from the editors. Through the use of many examples, they demonstrate that studies of talk are important in their own right, while also having fundamental theoretical significance for social analysis.
