Download or read book Incomplete written by Dr. Alix Beeston and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-06-06 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This field-defining collection establishes unfinished film projects—abandoned, interrupted, lost, or open-ended—as rich and underappreciated resources for feminist film and media studies. In deeply researched and creatively conceived chapters, scholars join with film practitioners in approaching the unfinished film as an ideal site for revealing the lived experiences, practical conditions, and institutional realities of women's film production across historical periods and national borders. Incomplete recovers projects and practices marginalized in film industries and scholarship alike, while also showing how feminist filmmakers have cultivated incompletion as an aesthetic strategy. Objects of loss and of possibility, incomplete films raise profound historiographical and ethical questions about the always unfinished project of film history, film spectatorship, and film studies.

Highlights include a rare group of 17th-century portraits, along with important paintings by Robert Feke, John Singleton Copley, Charles Willson Peale, Gilbert Stuart, and Washington Allston, in addition to works depicting western and Native American subjects by Alexandre de Batz, Henry Inman, and Alfred Jacob Miller, among others. Each work is accompanied by scholarly commentary that draws on extensive new research, as well as a complete exhibition and reference history. An introduction by Theodore E. Stebbins Jr. describes the history of the collection. Lavishly illustrated in color, this compendium is a testament to the nation's oldest collection of American art, and an essential resource for scholars and collectors alike.
Download or read book Promoting Equitable Classroom Practices in Higher Education written by Heidi L. Hallman and published by IAP. This book was released on 2024-06-01 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current interest in diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) in higher education emerges from a reality that higher education now serves an increasing diversity of college students. An increasingly diverse student body brings to campuses various backgrounds, linguistic variations, political and religious affiliations, and sexual orientations; therefore, colleges and universities have been prompted to select content, assessment measures, and instructional strategies to not only welcome and support diversity, but to also position students’ diverse backgrounds as assets in the classrooms. This edited volume seeks to put theory into practice by inviting contributions by scholars who aim to transform the higher education classroom through equitable classroom practices premised on culturally sustaining pedagogy. Contributors to the edited volume are faculty in higher education who depict change in instruction that fosters a more inclusive and equitable learning environment. Seeking to create an understanding of how we can more fully humanize our students within historically dehumanizing institutions, we invite readers to consider equitable teaching practices through a variety of lenses. Under the canopy of access, connectedness, and belonging, this volume features initiatives that will hopefully inspire change in higher education.

Download or read book Winter Hues A Harvest of Solitude written by Cina K S and published by Prowess Publishing. This book was released on 2024-04-25 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Winter Hues: A Harvest of Solitude" is an exquisite collection that transcends the conventional boundaries of poetry and art, inviting readers into a realm where words and colors intertwine in a dance of ethereal beauty. The title itself, "Winter Hues," hints at the subtle, unseen colors that emerge amidst the misty landscapes of winter, colors that are perhaps more enchanting than those visible to the naked eye. In this collection, the poet crafts verses that capture the elusive and intangible essence of winter hues. These hues, like scattered brushstrokes on a canvas, create a tapestry of emotions and imagery that goes beyond the literal interpretation of the season. The poems offer a surrealistic treatment, weaving a dreamscape that blurs the lines between reality and imagination. What sets "Winter Hues" apart is the seamless integration of poetry and paintings, forming a harmonious symbiosis that elevates the reader's experience. The poet, akin to a skilled painter, uses words as strokes to bring forth emotions, memories, and dreams. The result is a visual and literary feast, where each poem is a brushstroke, and every painting a stanza in the symphony of solitude. The thematic core of the collection lies in the concept of solitude as a fertile ground for creativity. The poems and paintings are portrayed as fruits, a bountiful harvest cultivated in the quietude of introspection. The solitude becomes a sanctuary where the artist delves into the recesses of the soul, unearthing the rich tapestry of thoughts and emotions that find expression in both verse and imagery. As readers journey through the pages of "Winter Hues," they embark on a contemplative exploration of the subtle nuances of winter's beauty. The collection beckons them to appreciate the unseen, the abstract, and the hidden treasures concealed within the cold embrace of the season. It encourages a pause, a reflection, as one immerses oneself in the intricate dance of words and colors meticulously choreographed by the artist. In "Winter Hues: A Harvest of Solitude," the poet beckons us to embrace the solitude, to revel in the beauty of the unseen, and to savor the fruits of introspection. It is an invitation to experience the winter hues, not just as a season, but as a metaphor for the profound depths of the human experience.
Download or read book The Architecture of Community written by Leon Krier and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2009-05-08 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leon Krier is one of the best-known—and most provocative—architects and urban theoreticians in the world. Until now, however, his ideas have circulated mostly among a professional audience of architects, city planners, and academics. In The Architecture of Community, Krier has reconsidered and expanded writing from his 1998 book Architecture: Choice or Fate. Here he refines and updates his thinking on the making of sustainable, humane, and attractive villages, towns, and cities. The book includes drawings, diagrams, and photographs of his built works, which have not been widely seen until now. With three new chapters, The Architecture of Community provides a contemporary road map for designing or completing today’s fragmented communities. Illustrated throughout with Krier’s original drawings, The Architecture of Community explains his theories on classical and vernacular urbanism and architecture, while providing practical design guidelines for creating livable towns. The book contains descriptions and images of the author’s built and unbuilt projects, including the Krier House and Tower in Seaside, Florida, as well as the town of Poundbury in England. Commissioned by the Prince of Wales in 1988, Krier’s design for Poundbury in Dorset has become a reference model for ecological planning and building that can meet contemporary needs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATO's bombing of Yugoslavia was justified. NATO violated the United Nations Charter - but nations have used armed force so often that the ban on non-defensive use of force has been cast into doubt. Dangerous cracks in the international legal order have surfaced - widened, ironically, by the UN Security Council itself, which has ridden roughshod over the Charter's ban on intervention. Yet nations remain hopelessly divided on what the rules should be. An unplanned geopolitical order has thus emerged - posing serious dilemmas for American policy-makers in a world where intervention will be judged more by wisdom than by law.
Download or read book Mondrian written by Nicholas Fox Weber and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2024-10-22 with total page 665 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The extraordinary and surprising life of Piet Mondrian, whose unprecedented geometric art revolutionized modern painting, architecture, graphic art, fashion design, and more—from acclaimed cultural historian Nicholas Fox Weber In the early 1920s, surrounded by the roaring streets of avant-garde Paris, Piet Mondrian began creating what would become some of the most recognizable abstract paintings of the 20th century. With rectangles of primary colors against a dazzling white background, this was geometric abstraction in its purest form. These revolutionary compositions exhilarated, intoxicated, confused, and enraged the international public—and changed the course of modern art forever. Now, for the first time, Mondrian emerges alongside his thrilling art. Here is the life of an elusive modern master: from his youth in a religious household in the Netherlands where he first began painting Dutch farmhouses and sand dunes, to his move to Paris where he embraced the work of Pablo Picasso, Georges Seurat, and Cézanne, to the 1920s and onward where, surviving the turmoil of two world wars and embracing a rapidly shifting culture, Mondrian challenged the concept of art and invented a new world of undiluted colors and rhythmic straight lines. His work would go on to affect painting, architecture, fashion, and design in decades to come. Here is also an intimate portrait of a complex artist, his solitude and avoidance of intimacy, his eccentricities and his philosophy, his passion for ballroom dancing, and his unwavering belief in art as a vehicle to reveal universal truths.

Download or read book Confession of an Immortal Lover written by Mr. Benoi Nair and published by Partridge Publishing Singapore. This book was released on 2015-10-22 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once in a lifetime, everyone falls in love, and if your feelings are true, the entire universe conspires in your fairy tale. However, I wish to reflect on the dark part of love and how the pain is equally enjoyable when you have an incomplete story to tell. Yes, its not poetry or a sonnet but a story that I wish readers to experience, especially the youth. As the title does not suggest, the book is actually a collection of heart-written poems that portray honest confession of an immortal lover. The words deployed in this book are true feelings garnered in the most beautiful and simple manner in a language that only a lover can understand. The book is dedicated to the one who left an imperfect me in this perfect world that still fails to accept me and to the madness that made me write through these sleepless nights. Some stories remain incomplete . . . incomplete forever. Writing these stories is an immortal lover.
Download or read book An Imaginary Cinema written by Dustin Condren and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2024-12-15 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Imaginary Cinema is the first systematic study of Sergei Eisenstein's unrealized films as well as a deeply informed historical and theoretical inquiry into the role and meaning of the unmade in his oeuvre. Eisenstein directed some of the twentieth century's most important films, from the early classic of montage, Battleship Potemkin, to his late masterpiece, Ivan the Terrible. Alongside these, however, the Soviet filmmaker also toiled over a compelling array of unrealized projects, from ideas that never grew beyond complex, passionate notebook scrawls and sketches to productions that were mounted and shot to some degree of completion without ever being finished. Working from the archival remnants of several of the director's most fascinating unrealized projects—from his bold vision to film Marx's Das Kapital to his time in Hollywood struggling to adapt Dreiser's An American Tragedy—Dustin Condren's book reveals new aspects of Eisenstein's genius, showing the filmmaker in a constant state of process, open to working toward impossible and sometimes utopian ends, and committed to the pursuit of creative and theoretical discovery. Condren's analysis of these unrealized projects in An Imaginary Cinema reveals Eisenstein at crucial moments of his personal and artistic biography, and it also tells the wider story of a canonical artist negotiating the political labyrinths of Stalinist Russia, the economic pitfalls of Hollywood, and the technological shifts of early cinema.
