Travel & See

Autor: Kobena Mercer

Número de Páginas: 384

Over the years, Kobena Mercer has critically illuminated the visual innovations of African American and black British artists. In Travel & See he presents a diasporic model of criticism that gives close attention to aesthetic strategies while tracing the shifting political and cultural contexts in which black visual art circulates. In eighteen essays, which cover the period from 1992 to 2012 and discuss such leading artists as Isaac Julien, Renée Green, Kerry James Marshall, and Yinka Shonibare, Mercer provides nothing less than a counternarrative of global contemporary art that reveals how the “dialogical principle” of cross-cultural interaction not only has transformed commonplace perceptions of blackness today but challenges us to rethink the entangled history of modernism as well.

Surrealism

Autor: Elza Adamowicz

Número de Páginas: 222

This collection of essays, inspired by André Breton's concept of the limites non-frontières of Surrealism, focuses on the crossings, intersections and margins of the surrealist movement rather than its divides and exclusion zones. Some of the essays originated as papers given at the colloquium 'Surrealism: Crossings/Frontiers' held at the Institute of Romance Studies, University of London, in November 2001. Surrealism is foregrounded as a trajectory rather than a fixed body of doctrines, radically challenging the notion of frontiers. The essays explore real and imaginary journeys, as well as the urban dérives of the surrealists and situationists. The concept of crossing, central to a reading of the dynamics at work in Surrealism, is explored in studies of the surrealist object, which eludes or elides genres, and explorations of the shifting sites of identity, as in the work of Joyce Mansour or André Masson. Surrealism's engagement with frontiers is further investigated through a number of revealing cases, such as a political reading of 1930s photography, the parodic rewriting of the popular 'locked room' mystery, or the surrealists' cavalier redrawing of the map of the world....

Next Steps to a Free Cuba

Autor: Marc S. Ellenbogen , Jochen Wittmann

Número de Páginas: 236

The Global Panel Foundation and The Prague Society for International Cooperation are committed to bringing people together to discuss and broaden our knowledge. We will use our experience to apply new concepts and frameworks for sustainable development in Cuba. During a series of public policy sessions in Berlin, Germany, diverse groups of Cuban human rights activists and dissidents, politicians, businessmen and academics were brought together. They discussed concepts, frameworks, cases, tools, and the best practices to cope with the emerging challenges to Cuba. Building on the foregoing, this work collects contributions by authors covering Cuban as well as Central European perspectives. The articles have been grouped into six parts according to the schedule of public policy sessions: Cubans meet Bundestag; Leadership in Cuba; Lessons learnt from 1989/90; The Cuba Strategy from a German perspective, and Cuba from a Czech and Latvian perspective. Initiatives for Change in Cuba close the publication. This work gives an outlook for further activities relating to democratize Cuba.

El devenir de las civilizaciones: interacciones entre el entorno humano, natural y cultural

El presente libro, de amplio corte temporal y espacial pretende crear un espacio de diálogo y debate crítico entre estudiosos, especialistas, como así también jóvenes investigadores cuyo objeto de estudio es el devenir de la humanidad y su interacción con los diversos medios que la rodean. El análisis y comprensión de los comportamientos humanos desde múltiples perspectivas posibilitan un conocimiento y una reflexión más profunda sobre problemáticas pretéritas y presentes, y al mismo tiempo permite plantear retos futuros. Consientes que sólo a través de las acciones pretéritas podremos comprender el desarrollo actual y plantear sociedades inclusivas y potencialmente seguras en un futuro sustentable, nuestro propósito es mirar a las civilizaciones desde las Ciencias Humanas planteando nuevas preguntas, revisitando las fuentes, buscando nuevos caminos de análisis y fundamentalmente estableciendo un diálogo pluridisciplinar que no implica la suma de saberes, sino la interacción de los mismos para enriquecer el análisis y potenciar los resultados.

Two Million Miles

Autor: Andrew MacPherson

Número de Páginas: 240

Dans une société de plus en plus mobile, il est devenu courant de parcourir le globe plusieurs fois en un seul mois. Les voyages qui duraient autrefois des semaines, se font maintenant en quelques heures. Tous ces périples sont comme une métaphore qui résume l'ascension professionnelle d'Andrew Macpherson, photographe de mode propulsé au rang des photographes de célébrités. Il parcourt littéralement le monde pour réaliser le portrait des personnes les plus connues de notre époque. Il s'embarque également dans un voyage artistique pour apporter une note fraîche et stimulante à chacune de ses photographies. Dans sa quête, il emploie une multitude de techniques variées, jouant avec la forme, le contexte et la couleur. Son œuvre est assombrie par un détail tragique : un grand nombre de ses négatifs originaux ont été perdus dans l'incendie d'un entrepôt. C'est un témoignage de la force de l'œuvre de Macpherson que même reproduites à partir de pages de magazines - comme le sont certaines de ces photographies - le résultat rayonne encore de vitalité et d'intensité. Le profit tiré de la vente de cette collection remarquable sera versé au Fonds de recherche...

All great novels are critical novels (that is to say, experimental novels) wich, under the pretense of telling a story, of bringing characters to life, of interpreting situations, slide under our eyes the mirage of a tangible form.
