Download or read book Collections Care and Stewardship written by Juilee Decker and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-07-15 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collections Care and Stewardship: Innovative Approaches for Museums considers best practices and innovations related to documenting collections with regard to movement and safe handling of items for transport, display, photography, and treatment; collections storage; and information-sharing within and beyond the museum. The case studies in this volume examine best practices and innovations related to collections with regard to display, interpretation, engagement, storage, conservation treatment, and preservation. Several chapters address undergraduate and graduate coursework and internship experiences in a variety of contexts to offer best practices as well as evaluation of such training opportunities. All of these case studies ask us to think about the responsibilities that we have, as museum professionals, to be stewards—a challenge for all of us in terms of the obligations and responsibilities therein, but also in terms of the challenge to frame our collections as having the capacity to reflect as well as inspire. The Innovative Approaches for Museums series offers case studies, written by scholars and practitioners from museums, galleries, and other institutions, that showcase the original, transformative, and sometimes wholly re-invented methods, techniques, systems, theories, and actions that demonstrate innovative work being done in the museum and cultural sector throughout the world. The authors come from a variety of institutions—in size, type, budget, audience, mission, and collection scope. Each volume offers ideas and support to those working in museums while serving as a resource and primer, as much as inspiration, for students and the museum staff and faculty training future professionals who will further develop future innovative approaches.

Download or read book Derivative Lives written by Virginia Newhall Rademacher and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2022-07-14 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title of this book, Derivative Lives, alludes to the challenge of finding one's way within the contemporary market of virtually limitless information and claims to veracity. Amid this profusion of options, it is easy to feel lost in spaces of uncertainty where biographical truth teeters between the real and the imaginative. The title thus also points to the prolific market of biographical novels that openly and intentionally play in the speculative space between the real and the fictional. Drawing on theories of risk and uncertainty, Derivative Lives considers the surge in biofiction in Spain and globally, relating literary expression to concepts such as circumstantiality, derivatives, speculation, and game studies.
Download or read book Invisible Reality written by Juan Ramón Jiménez and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-03-24 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great Spanish poet Juan Ramón Jiménez, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1956, was a mystic as will as a poet, and the deep spirituality which infuses so much of his writing makes itself felt with special fervor throughout this remarkable new collection of poems. Composed by Jiménez between the years 1917 to 1920, the works in this grouping vanished mysteriously, only to be rediscovered a half-century later among the author's private papers. Published in Spain for the first time in 1983, they appear now at last in a bilingual edition, the English lovingly rendered by the scholar and poet Antonio T. de Nicolás, and introduced by the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Louis Simpson. This is a book of verse for the poet in all of us it sings of the invisible realities which we carry in our hearts and which carry us through a life filled with symbols, toil and beauty. Juan Ramón Jiménez, an early twentieth century pioneer in the use of free verse and author of over 70 books has been hailed by The New Republic as not only the dean of Hispanic poets, but the pioneer and the source of all those who wrote in the Spanish tongue after him. Antonio T. de Nicolás is widely known for his translation of the Jiménez classic, Platero and I, which will also be republished through iUniverse.com.
Download or read book Sexual Diversity in Young Cuban Cinema written by Margaret G. Frohlich and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-02-10 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how young Cuban filmmakers have expanded the range of sexual subjectivities on screen. It analyzes cine joven (films made by young directors) from the late 1980s to the early 2020s, film reviews, articles, and materials from the Cinematheque of Cuba's archive to illustrate the confluence of sexuality, cinema, and discourses of youth. While sexual and cinematic cultures have their own unique relation to the public sphere, state institutions, and transnational flows, this book explores tensions, debates, and expressions that unite them. In an investigation of how young filmmakers employ queer strategies of self-making to bring sexual diversity to the screen, Margaret G. Frohlich shows us how cine joven takes part in the socialization of power in Cuba.
Download or read book Los dobles written by E. T. A. Hoffman and published by Libros del Zorzal. This book was released on 2021 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A punto de entrar a su habitación, se dio vuelta una vez más, su mirada recayó sobre Deodatus y, con el picaporte en la mano, ¡se quedó como petrificado! Sus lúgubres ojos irradiaban un fuego salvaje, al tiempo que una palidez cadavérica recubría su convulsivo y trémulo rostro. Unánimemente reconocido por la historia de la literatura como el gran precursor del relato fantástico moderno, E. T. A. Hoffmann ha gozado de una oscilante fortuna en el mundo de habla hispana, que ciertamente lo menciona mucho más de lo que lo lee. Pero su obra, a veces relegada al ámbito de la literatura infantil y juvenil, y a menudo publicada en forma de cuentos aislados y sin mayor cuidado filológico, es mucho más consecuente y extensa de lo que suele suponerse. E. T. A. Hoffmann (1776-1822), figura principal del romanticis mo alemán, cultivó sobre todo la literatura fantástica y de horror. Fue, además, un notable compositor y crítico musical, jurista, y artista plástico. En sus cuentos crea una atmósfera de pesadilla alucinante, y aborda temas como el desdoblamiento de la personalidad, la locura, y el mundo de los sueños, que ejercieron gran influencia en escritores como Edgar Allan Poe, Guy de Maupassant y Fiodor Dostoievski.
Download or read book Spanish Laughter written by Antonio Calvo Maturana and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2022-06-10 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting a cultural and interdisciplinary study of humor in Spain from the eighteenth century to the present day, this book examines how humour entered public life, how it attained a legitimacy to communicate ‘serious’ ideas in the Enlightenment and how this set the seed for the key position that humor occupies in society today. Through a range of case studies that run from Goya’s paintings, humor, and gender representations in radio programmes during the first Franco regime, developmentalist cinema of the sixties and seventies, to the transformation of female humor in social media, the book traces the core role that the comical has played in the public sphere. The contributors to this volume represent a wide range of disciplines including gender studies, humour studies and Hispanic studies and offer international perspectives on Spanish laughter.

Download or read book Beetle Trilogy Y Otras Obras written by Damián Ortega and published by California Institute of the Arts/Redcat. This book was released on 2005 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first North American monograph on Mexican artist Damian Ortega documents 10 years of work focused on conceptual practice, social organization, and humor, including the installations and performances that make up his acclaimed Beetle Trilogy, several works never before exhibited and a great deal of unpublished material. Most of what's here hasn't been seen before. The first episode of the trilogy, "The Cosmic Thing," a disassembled Volkswagen suspended in the air, was featured in Gabriel Orozco's Il Quotidiano Alterato at the 2003 Venice Biennale, and was one of the most widely reproduced images of that year's exhibition. "Moby Dick," a heroic action involving the artist's Beetle, a live band, ropes and pulleys, followed, and then "Beetle '83 Escarabajo," a ritual return to the vehicle's place of birth, closed the cycle. The Beetle Trilogy and Other Works includes a new comic, 150 color images and an original essay by Hari Kunzru, author of The Impressionist and one of Granata's 20 "Best Young British Novelists" in 2003.
