Download or read book Puro Arte written by Lucy Mae San Pablo Burns and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2012-12-03 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2012 Outstanding Book Award in Cultural Studies, Association for Asian American Studies Puro Arte explores the emergence of Filipino American theater and performance from the early 20th century to the present. It stresses the Filipino performing body's location as it conjoins colonial histories of the Philippines with U.S. race relations and discourses of globalization. Puro arte, translated from Spanish into English, simply means “pure art.” In Filipino, puro arte however performs a much more ironic function, gesturing rather to the labor of over-acting, histrionics, playfulness, and purely over-the-top dramatics. In this book, puro arte functions as an episteme, a way of approaching the Filipino/a performing body at key moments in U.S.-Philippine imperial relations, from the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair, early American plays about the Philippines, Filipino patrons in U.S. taxi dance halls to the phenomenon of Filipino/a actors in Miss Saigon. Using this varied archive, Puro Arte turns to performance as an object of study and as a way of understanding complex historical processes of racialization in relation to empire and colonialism.

Download or read book The Arte of English Poesie written by George Puttenham and published by Kent State University Press. This book was released on 1970 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in 1589, The Arte of English Poesie can be considered the first full-scale work of poetic criticism in England--"a noble monument," in Professor Hathaway's words, "astraddle the rude beginnings of the speculative aspects of English literary culture." Its three main parts are a treatise on poets and poetry, an analysis of English prosody, and a discussion of rhetorical ornamentation--all treated compactly and thoroughly. While little of its thought was strikingly new for its time, since it drew on traditions going back through the Middle Ages to classical roots, its value lay in its synthesis of these ideas and its summation of an aesthetic movement. As such it provides important insights into the aesthetic philosophy of the English Renaissance.
Download or read book The Green Arte written by Josh Williams and published by Aeon Books. This book was released on 2022-10-25 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploration of the magic of plants, which exists far deeper than the green and nourishing existence we experience above ground. Through the lenses of animism, folk magic, herbal medicine, plant lore, land connections, and rituals aligned with tides of nature, The Green Arte explores the magic of plants. Hidden below, in dark and mysterious depths, are the roots of these beings, which connect to something primordial, raw, wild and complex; this is the mystery which Josh Williams explores in his second book. Within these pages, Josh introduces readers to the plant spirits, allowing us to work with them, in spiritual ways, to create magic and medicine. The Green Arte will act as a workbook, for the engaged reader - from herbalists and ritualists, to anyone wanting to deepen their relationship with the natural world - to grow their own work in the wonderful and magical bounty that nature and the plants have to offer.
Download or read book Ungainefull Arte written by Richard A. McCabe and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-02-05 with total page 415 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From antiquity to the Renaissance the pursuit of patronage was central to the literary career, yet relationships between poets and patrons were commonly conflicted, if not antagonistic, necessitating compromise even as they proffered stability and status. Was it just a matter of speaking lies to power? The present study looks beyond the rhetoric of dedication to examine how traditional modes of literary patronage responded to the challenge of print, as the economies of gift-exchange were forced to compete with those of the marketplace. It demonstrates how awareness of such divergent milieux prompted innovative modes of authorial self-representation, inspired or frustrated the desire for laureation, and promoted the remarkable self-reflexivity of Early Modern verse. By setting English Literature from Caxton to Jonson in the context of the most influential Classical and Italian exemplars it affords a wide comparative context for the reassessment of patronage both as a social practice and a literary theme.

He taught as a professor at the university in Padua. In his book De arte gymnastica he divided exercise into three groups: regular exercise which includes medical use, military exercise and athletic exercise. He describes many forms of exercise like dancing, ball games, walking, running, jumping, discus exercise, dumbbell exercise, throwing, singing, riding, swimming, wrestling, boxing and even fishing and hunting. Every form is described with its benefits.
