TOKYO VERTIGO

TOKYO VERTIGO

Autor: Stephen Barber

Número de Páginas: 131

In TOKYO VERTIGO, Stephen Barber explores the most mesmerising and precarious of all contemporary world cities: Tokyo: the megalopolis, in extremis. Barber probes the multiple ways in which Tokyo projects and hides itself, focusing upon its filmic, photographic and media cultures as well as its extraordinary urban history of destruction, unrest and reconfiguration. Dividing his analysis into three parts, the author first interrogates the disparate urban ‘zones’ of Tokyo, from the image-screen constellated districts of Shinjuku and Shibuya to the desolate peripheries where the megalopolis falls apart, then examines Tokyo’s sexual and media cultures, through which the city’s compulsive fascinations and obsessions exert their power. Finally, the book looks at the ways in which European culture collides with Tokyo’s urban formations, often generating unprecedented, hybrid images and texts.

La vida desde mi ventana

La vida desde mi ventana

Autor: Juan Antonio Pacheco

Número de Páginas: 126

Es un relato de la vida cotidiana durante la pandemia. Entre La crónica y el diario es un ejercicio catártico, urgente y necesario, cíclico. ¿Por qué tomar la pluma en plena pandemia? Puede que no sea para narrar la pandemia en sí, tal vez es para ver lo que la pandemia te hace narrar.

Porno? Chic!

Porno? Chic!

Autor: Brian Mcnair

Número de Páginas: 202

Porno? Chic! examines the relationship between the proliferation of pornography and sexualised culture in the West and social and cultural trends which have advanced the rights of women and homosexuals. Brian McNair addresses this relationship with an analysis of trends in sexualised culture since 2002 linked to a transnational analysis of change in sexual politics and sex/gender relations in a range of societies, from the sexually liberalised societies of advanced capitalism to those in which women and homosexuals remain tightly controlled by authoritarian, patriarchal regimes. In this accessible, jargon-free book, Brian McNair examines why those societies in which sexualised culture is the most liberalised and pervasive are also those in which the socio-economic and political rights of women and homosexuals have advanced the most.

Art and Obscenity

Art and Obscenity

Autor: Kerstin Mey

Número de Páginas: 325

Explicit material is more widely available in the internet age than ever before, yet the concept of 'obscenity' remains as difficult to pin down as it is to approach without bias: notions of what is 'obscene' shift with societies' shifting mores, and our responses to explicit or disturbing material can be highly subjective. In this intelligent and sensitive book, Kerstin Mey grapples with the work of twentieth-century artists practising at the edges of acceptability, from Hans Bellmer through to Nobuyoshi Araki, from Robert Mapplethorpe to Annie Sprinkle, and from Hermann Nitsch to Paul McCarthy. Mey refuses sweeping statements and 'knee-jerk' responses, arguing with dexterity that some works, regardless of their 'high art' context, remain deeply problematic, whilst others are both groundbreaking and liberating.

Striptease Culture

Striptease Culture

Autor: Brian Mcnair

Número de Páginas: 257

From advertising to health education campaigns, sex and sexual imagery now permeate every aspect of culture. Striptease Culture explores the 'sexualization' of contemporary life, relating it to wider changes in post-war society. Striptease Culture is divided in to three sections: * Part one - traces the development of pornography, following its movement from elite to mass culture and the contemporary fascination with 'porno-chic' * Part two - considers popular cultural forms of sexual representation in the media, moving from backlash elements in straight male culture and changing images of women, to the representation of gays in contemporary film and television * Part three - looks at the use of sexuality in contemporary art, examinging the artistic 'striptease' of Jeff Koons, and others who have used their own naked bodies in their work. Also considering how feminist and gay artists have employed sexuality in the critique and transformation of patriarchy, the high profile of sexuality as a key contributor to public health education in the era of HIV and AIDS, and the implications of the rise of striptease culture for the future of sexual poltics, Brian McNair has produced an...

Las divertidas memorias de un librero excéntrico y apasionado que lucha por sobrevivir en plena era amazónica. Shaun Bythell regenta The Bookshop, la librería de viejo más grande de Escocia. Contiene 100.000 volúmenes, dos kilómetros de estanterías, pasillos laberínticos y acogedoras chimeneas, todo ello en un hermoso pueblo situado a orillas del mar. ¿El paraíso de un bibliófilo, verdad? Bueno, no exactamente... "Cuando compré The Bookshop en 2001 tenía una vaga idea sobre el funcionamiento de una librería. Ninguna de mis expectativas se cumplió. A diario me sorprenden las preguntas que formulan los clientes y sus cábalas en torno a la gestión del negocio (extrañas conjeturas para explicar la procedencia de los libros o la manera como les ponemos precio). Por la tienda desfila el más amplio espectro de la especie humana: unos regatean, otros recomiendan libros; unos son espectacularmente groseros, otros te cuentan su vida o quieren conocer la tuya... En este diario se narran algunos de los encuentros más memorables." " Diario de un librero es una obra cálida y asombrosamente entretenida.

Número de Páginas: 9

“10×10 Japanese Photobooks is a sushi counter of information about the Japanese photo books published in the last 60 years: 20 international specialists each highlight 10 titles, one of which is then given an expanded treatment—including enough pictures to give a sense of what the work is actually like. Photo books have been an important aspect of Japanese culture since the end of World War II, documenting the country’s seismic social transformations, and most of the country’s best known photographers— Daido Moriyama, Nobuyoshi Araki, Eikoh Hosoe, Hiroshi Sugimoto —are represented. The advantage of this extensive listing is that many little known artists are also on view.” —The Wall Street Journal Published in association with the traveling 10x10 Japanese Photobooks Reading Room.

Nobuyoshi Araki und Henry Miller - eine japanisch-amerikanische Analogie

Nobuyoshi Araki und Henry Miller - eine japanisch-amerikanische Analogie

Autor: Katrin Burtschell

Número de Páginas: 231

Wo endet Kunst und wo beginnt Pornographie? Diese Frage entlarvt die Autorin Katrin Burtschell anhand der Werke von Nobuyoshi Araki und Henry Miller als falschen Ausgangspunkt. Kontroverse, als pornographisch eingestufte Kunst ist in ihren Augen vielmehr obszön. Obszön im Sinne von Tabubrüchen sowie in der Tradition der sexuellen Darstellung. Es werden Brücken geschlagen zwischen Literatur und Bildender Kunst, zwischen unterschiedlichen kulturellen und religiösen Aspekten im Umgang mit Sexualität und Zensur.

As a soldier’s wife awaits information about his whereabouts overseas, he descends further into the madness of war in this “memorable and moving” novel (Benjamin Myers, author of Pig Iron). Reeling from the terrorist attack that killed her father, Lorna lurches through an inebriated adolescence until she finds love and redemption in a young soldier named Danny. But her dream of a stable life is once again shattered when Danny is called to serve overseas—and soon lost in the desert. Most of Danny’s unit is dead. They are victims, it would seem, of a brutal ambush. With their equipment destroyed and food running out, the small band of men stumble through the sand and shadows, desperate to find salvation. As their hope fades, they begin to turn on each other. When it finally becomes clear that only the most vicious will survive, what will Danny be if he ever does return to Lorna?

Going Down for Air

Going Down for Air

Autor: Derek Sayer , Charles C. Lemert

Número de Páginas: 214

What is hidden in the taste of a madeleine - or in snatches of Bob Dylan songs, operatic arias, and the remembered sting of a rattan cane? An exploration of memory, Going Down for Air artfully combines two very different yet connected texts. A Memoir is richly evocative not only of times past, but also of a very English, imperial, queerly masculine subjectivity, caught on the cusp of the extinction of the world in and of which it made sense. Derek Sayer's allusive writing succeeds as few have done before in capturing the leaps and bounds of memory itself. Rich in its detail, unstinting in its honesty, this beautifully written memoir is a considerable literary achievement. The memoir is complemented by Sayer's provocative theoretical essay on memory and social identity. Drawing on linguistic and psychoanalytic theory, photographic images, and literary texts, In Search of a Subject argues that it is memory above all that maintains the imagined identities upon which society rests. Going Down for Air is a bold and strikingly successful literary and sociological experiment, which makes a major contribution to understanding how our memories work - and gives them social meaning far beyond

Infrared

Infrared

Autor: Nancy Huston

Número de Páginas: 199

“A woman explores complex family relationships and discovers truths about herself in this sensual, intricately woven offering from award-winning Huston.”—Kirkus Reviews Nancy Huston follows her bestselling novel, Fault Lines, winner of the Prix Femina, with an intensely provocative story about a passionate yet emotionally wounded woman’s sexual explorations. After a troubled childhood and two failed marriages, Rena Greenblatt has achieved success as a photographer. She specializes in infrared techniques that expose her pictures’ otherwise hidden landscapes and capture the raw essence of deeply private moments in the lives of her subjects. Away from her lover, and stuck in Florence, Italy, with her infuriating stepmother and her aging, unwell father, Rena confronts not only the masterpieces of the Renaissance but the banal inconveniences of a family holiday. At the same time, she finds herself traveling into dark and passionate memories that will lead to disturbing revelations. Infrared is both an explicitly bold story of how sexuality is influenced by childhood, family, and culture, and a portrait of a woman coming to terms with the end of her father’s life. With...

Tokyo

Tokyo

Autor: Jeremy Seymour Eades

Número de Páginas: 344

The Tokyo region of Japan is, in terms of population, the largest urban area on earth. Its centre comprises the 23 wards of Tokyo itself but the urban sprawl has long since extended to include the other major cities of Kawasaki and Yokohama. From the early 16th century, when the Tokugawa rulers of Japan established their administrative headquarters there, Edo, as it was known, developed quickly into one of the largest cities in the world. It was renamed Tokyo, or 'Eastern Capital', when the Emperor moved there in 1868. In the 20th century most of Tokyo was destroyed first by the Kanto earthquake of 1923 and then by the American bombing of 1945. Nonetheless, it was rapidly rebuilt, and is now, along with London and New York, one of the major control centres of the global economy. Yet behind the ultramodern facade of the main commercial areas, Tokyo remains largely a city of narrow streets and small, intimate neighbourhoods. However, the threat of serious earthquakes remains and the relocation of the capital is being increasingly discussed. This is the first annotated, critical survey of the English-language literature on Tokyo and its region.

Love, Nina meets Black Books: a wry and hilarious account of life in Scotland's biggest second-hand bookshop and the band of eccentrics and book-obsessives who work there 'The Diary Of A Bookseller is warm (unlike Bythell's freezing-cold shop) and funny, and deserves to become one of those bestsellers that irritate him so much.' (Mail on Sunday) 'Utterly compelling and Bythell has a Bennett-like eye for the amusing eccentricities of ordinary people ... I urge you to buy this book and please, even at the risk of being insulted or moaned at, buy it from a real live bookseller.' (Charlotte Heathcote Sunday Express) Shaun Bythell owns The Bookshop, Wigtown - Scotland's largest second-hand bookshop. It contains 100,000 books, spread over a mile of shelving, with twisting corridors and roaring fires, and all set in a beautiful, rural town by the edge of the sea. A book-lover's paradise?

Although only recently recognized by American and European audiences, the Japanese photographer Nobuyoshi Araki is a cult figure in his birthplace. His predominantly black-and-white images always revolve around Tokyo, the preferred stage for his photography, which explores life 'in the shadow of death'. In addition to his trademark nudes, "Tokyo Nouvelle" is a kaleidoscope of images that capture the spirit of Tokyo through still lifes, architecture, and everyday objects.

Poems for Guys

Poems for Guys

Autor: Bill Kaluza

Número de Páginas: 148

Lust isn't the only driving force behind this book—also factoring in are rage, regret, humiliation, longing, affection, and an appreciation of the folly of existence—but it plays the biggest role. In largely rhyming, rhythmic verse, the author narrates a series of erotic vignettes that, while arousing, are always more than a little literary. And his forays into other subject matter sometimes even get serious. Each poem features an illustrated cover page; much of the artwork is original and is itself worth much more than a passing glance.

On Mirrors! Philosophy—Art—Organization

On Mirrors! Philosophy—Art—Organization

Autor: Luc Peters , Anthony R. Yue

Número de Páginas: 269

This is a book about mirrors, philosophy, art and organization. It arises from the recognition that we are caught in the mirror. We are under its spell and enchanted by its reflections. Mirrors direct us without our awareness, largely because we do not perceive them as mirrors. This is problematic because mirrors are everywhere. This book explores a philosophy of mirrors, one that investigates the art of painting, cartoons, architecture, music, photography and film, as well as belching and boozing robots, ‘geil’ photographers, monkish cells, cesspools, hairy auditions and clauding. Throughout, the book uses, mutilates and expands the thoughts of philosophers like Heidegger, Sloterdijk, Deleuze, Serres, Baudrillard and Rancière. The philosophic journey offered here results in new insights and unique viewpoints, which open up the hidden, secretive world of mirrors and help us to engage in unexplored and exciting relations with them, offering a critical challenge to contemporary organization theory.
