The Religious Art of Andy Warhol

Autor: Jane D. Dillenberger

Número de Páginas: 136

Two images of Andy Warhol exist in the popular press: the Pope of Pop of the Sixties, and the partying, fright-wigged Andy of the Seventies. In the two years before he died, however, Warhol made over 100 paintings, drawings, and prints based on Leonardo da Vinci's The Last Supper. The dramatic story of these works is told in this book for the first time. Revealed here is the part of Andy Warhol that he kept very secret: his lifelong church attendance and his personal piety. Art historian and curator Jane Daggett Dillenberger explores the sources and manifestations of Warhol's spiritual side, the manifestations of which are to be found in the celebrated paintings of the last decade of Warhol's life: his Skull paintings, the prints based on Renaissance religious artwork, the Cross paintings, and the large series based on The Last Supper.>

Death

Autor: Nicolae Sfetcu

Número de Páginas: 219

About death, grief, mourning, life after death and immortality. Why should we die like humans to survive as a species. "No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new."

Sémiotique du portrait

Autor: Anne Beyaert-geslin

Número de Páginas: 259

"L'ouvrage reconstitue les règles fondamentales du genre, les méthodes de la signification qui dépassent la diversité des supports, des époques et des styles. La sémiotique dialogue ici avec la philosophie, les sciences de l'information et de la communication et les théories de l'art, notamment, pour saisir un double mouvement d'extraction par lequel le monde se transforme en un fond tandis que le visage devient une figure offerte à l'observation. Cinq approches sont successivement adoptées: la figuralité, la figurativité, la présence, l'énonciation et la réflexivité. Chacune débouche sur une analyse de corpus contemporains: des portraits d'adolescents, des photos de presse et de paparazzi, des portraits électoraux et des photos officielles, des autoportraits peints et des selfies. Le genre du portrait est donc envisagé dans ses formes les plus actuelles et rapporté à diverses pratiques sociales."--Page 4 de la couverture.

Cuadernos de Hiroshima

Autor: José Toro

Número de Páginas: 97

Cuadernos de Hiroshima es un poemario visceral y evocador que indaga en la experiencia del viaje exterior e interior. A lo largo de sus más de cincuenta poemas, el autor explora el desplazamiento constante de sus voces poéticas —turistas, amantes, viajeros desencantados— que recorren calles, love hotels y ruinas atómicas, buscando sentido en un mundo que oscila entre la belleza y el caos. El libro se sumerge en la memoria colectiva, con Hiroshima como epicentro simbólico de la devastación y la resiliencia, mientras desmitifica el Japón idealizado de las postales turísticas. A través de una mirada cruda y sensual, Toro aborda el cuerpo y el deseo como ejes centrales: los encuentros sexuales en moteles efímeros y las relaciones amorosas se convierten en metáforas de la vulnerabilidad y la búsqueda de conexión en un paisaje de soledad urbana. Esta poética de la carne dialoga con una crítica sutil a la mercantilización del placer en sociedades capitalistas. Rico en intertextualidad, Cuadernos de Hiroshima teje puentes con la generación beat, la literatura japonesa contracultural y la tradición universal —de Dante a Lorca, de Kerouac a Kawabata—, dotando al...

Puedes encontrar las respuestas a estas y muchas otras preguntas en Siempre en pie. Cómo el estoicismo puede ayudarte a alcanzar una felicidad imperturbable.

The Honest Art Dictionary

Autor: The Art History Babes

Número de Páginas: 243

From the popular @arthistorybabespodcast, “a tidy, helpful and informative guide to what can be a Tower of Babel of art jargon” (Republican American). In this art dictionary like no other, The Art History Babes (the hosts behind the prolific podcast) break down the elitist world of art with definitions of over three hundred essential art terms. Art speak is infamously alienating, strange, and confusing as hell. Think stereotypical, stylish art dealers who describe art as ‘derivative’ and ‘dynamic’—or stuffy auction houses filled with portraits of dead white people called ‘Old Masters’. What do these words mean? Where did they come from? And how can you actually use them? The Honest Art Dictionary spans art history, iconic movements, peculiar words, and pretentious phrases. After reading this book, you’ll be able to lay down that art jargon with the best of them. From avant-garde to oeuvre, the Harlem Renaissance to New Objectivity, museum fatigue to memento mori—the Babes use their whip-smart humor, on-point knowledge, and a heavy dose of candor to explain even the most complex ideas in bite-sized, relatable and often humorous definitions. With illustrations...

Anatomy Museum

Autor: Elizabeth Hallam

Número de Páginas: 523

The wild success of the traveling Body Worlds exhibition is testimony to the powerful allure that human bodies can have when opened up for display in gallery spaces. But while anatomy museums have shown their visitors much about bodies, they themselves are something of an obscure phenomenon, with their incredible technological developments and complex uses of visual images and the flesh itself remaining largely under researched. This book investigates anatomy museums in Western settings, revealing how they have operated in the often passionate pursuit of knowledge that inspires both fascination and fear. Elizabeth Hallam explores these museums, past and present, showing how they display the human body—whether naked, stripped of skin, completely dissected, or rendered in the form of drawings, three-dimensional models, x-rays, or films. She identifies within anatomy museums a diverse array of related issues—from the representation of deceased bodies in art to the aesthetics of science, from body donation to techniques for preserving corpses and ritualized practices for disposing of the dead. Probing these matters through in-depth study, Anatomy Museum unearths a strange and...

The Anatomy Museum

Autor: Elizabeth Hallam

Número de Páginas: 446

Anatomy museums around the world showcase preserved corpses in service of education and medical advancement, but they are little-known and have been largely hidden from the public eye. Elizabeth Hallam here investigates the anatomy museum and how it reveals the fascination and fears that surround the dead body in Western societies. Hallam explores the history of these museums and how they operate in the current cultural environment. Their regulated access increasingly clashes with evolving public mores toward the exposed body, as demonstrated by the international popularity of the Body Worlds exhibition. The book examines such related topics as artistic works that employ the images of dead bodies and the larger ongoing debate over the disposal of corpses. Issues such as aesthetics and science, organ and body donations, and the dead body in Western religion and ritual are also discussed here in fascinating depth. The Anatomy Museum unearths a strange and compelling cultural history that investigates the ideas of preservation, human rituals of death, and the spaces that our bodies occupy in this life and beyond.

Law, Bubbles, and Financial Regulation

Autor: Erik F. Gerding

Número de Páginas: 560

Financial regulation can fail when it is needed the most. The dynamics of asset price bubbles weaken financial regulation just as financial markets begin to overheat and the risk of crisis spikes. At the same time, the failure of financial regulations adds further fuel to a bubble. This book examines the interaction of bubbles and financial regulation. It explores the ways in which bubbles lead to the failure of financial regulation by outlining five dynamics, which it collectively labels the "Regulatory Instability Hypothesis." . The book concludes by outlining approaches to make financial regulation more resilient to these dynamics that undermine law.

Brain Art and Neuroscience

Autor: David Gruber

Número de Páginas: 221

The first of its kind, this book examines artistic representations of the brain after the rise of the contemporary neurosciences, examining the interplay of art and science and tackling some of the critical-cultural implications. Weaving an MRI pattern onto a family quilt. Scanning the brain of a philosopher contemplating her own death and hanging it in a museum. Is this art or science or something in-between? What does it mean? How might we respond? In this ground-breaking new book, David R. Gruber explores the seductive and influential position of the neurosciences amid a growing interest in affect and materiality as manifest in artistic representations of the human brain. Contributing to debates surrounding the value and/or purpose of interdisciplinary engagement happening in the neuro-humanities, Gruber emphasizes the need for critical-cultural analysis within the field. Engaging with New Materialism and Affect Theory, the book provides a current and concrete example of the on-going shift away from constructivist lenses, arguing that the influence of relatively new neuroscience methods (EEG, MRI and fMRI) on the visual arts has not yet been fully realised. In fact, the very...

Learning and Persuasion in the German Middle Ages

Autor: Ernst Ralf Hintz

Número de Páginas: 232

Augustine as a point of departureThis study examines Christian education in early vernacular texts of the German Middle Ages on the basis of Latin traditions of learning and teaching from Late Antiquity. The point of departure is Augustine's De doctrina christiana in which Augustine not only consolidated Christian and pagan traditions but combined them into a program of Christian education. Illuminates continuity of traditionsThe author considers the continuity of these traditions in the late sixth century in Gregory the Great's treatise on pastoral care, Regula pastoralis, the early ninth-century work of Hrabanus Maurus, De institutione clericorum, in the Old High German poem, the Muspilli also from the ninth century, then in the Middle High German works, the Memento Mori from the late 11th century, and the poems of Frau Ava and Von den Letzten Dingen from the early and late 12th century, respectively. Translations of the Latin and early German texts generally appear together with a version of their original texts. A bibliography and index conclude the volume.

One day Memento Mori realises that he is a character in a book who has the power to travel from one book to another. He decides to strike against evil writers who sentence their characters to death. He persuades Romeo and Juliet that suicide is not the best solution and that when they are adults they will remember these days with laughter. To save many others from an untimely death he travels to the Reichenbach Falls to push Professor Moriarty to his death. Memento Mori's efforts to save more characters from their authors is interrupted when he learns that his author plans to kill off a character.

Mini Filosofía

Autor: Jonny Thomson

Número de Páginas: 384

¿Por qué la gente disfruta viendo películas de terror? ¿Debemos creer en la existencia de Dios? ¿Por qué el placer es mejor que el dolor? ¿Y cuándo un pato no es un pato? Mini Filosofía es un fascinante viaje por lo que algunas de las mentes más brillantes de los últimos 2.500 años opinan respecto las grandes cuestiones de la vida, y sobre por qué aún son relevantes para nosotros hoy en día. Desde la estrategia de Sun Tzu para ganar en los juegos de mesa hasta las reflexiones de Freud sobre nuestra «pulsión de muerte»; pasando por las razones por las cuales De Beauvoir creía que el instinto maternal era un mito o por las que Schopenhauer probablemente no se divertía mucho en las fiestas, estas minimeditaciones ampliarán tu mente (y también la doblarán).
