Download or read book Tango written by Robert Farris Thompson and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2006-12-05 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this generously illustrated book, world-renowned Yale art historian Robert Farris Thompson gives us the definitive account of tango, "the fabulous dance of the past hundred years–and the most beautiful, in the opinion of Martha Graham.” Thompson traces tango’s evolution in the nineteenth century under European, Andalusian-Gaucho, and African influences through its representations by Hollywood and dramatizations in dance halls throughout the world. He shows us tango not only as brilliant choreography but also as text, music, art, and philosophy of life. Passionately argued and unparalleled in its research, its synthesis, and its depth of understanding, Tango: The Art History of Love is a monumental achievement.

Download or read book Charles Sanders Peirce written by Joseph Brent and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Sanders Peirce was born in September 1839 and died five months before the guns of August 1914. He is perhaps the most important mind the United States has ever produced. He made significant contributions throughout his life as a mathematician, astronomer, chemist, geodesist, surveyor, cartographer, metrologist, engineer, and inventor. He was a psychologist, a philologist, a lexicographer, a historian of science, a lifelong student of medicine, and, above all, a philosopher, whose special fields were logic and semiotics. He is widely credited with being the founder of pragmatism. In terms of his importance as a philosopher and a scientist, he has been compared to Plato and Aristotle. He himself intended "to make a philosophy like that of Aristotle." Peirce was also a tormented and in many ways tragic figure. He suffered throughout his life from various ailments, including a painful facial neuralgia, and had wide swings of mood which frequently left him depressed to the state of inertia, and other times found him explosively violent. Despite his consistent belief that ideas could find meaning only if they "worked" in the world, he himself found it almost impossible to make satisfactory economic and social arrangements for himself. This brilliant scientist, this great philosopher, this astounding polymath was never able, throughout his long life, to find an academic post that would allow him to pursue his major interest, the study of logic, and thus also fulfill his destiny as America's greatest philosopher. Much of his work remained unpublished in his own time, and is only now finding publication in a coherent, chronologically organized edition. Even more astounding is that, despite many monographic studies, there has been no biography until now, almost eighty years after his death. Brent has studied the Peirce papers in detail and enriches his account with numerous quotations from letters by Peirce and by his friends. This is a fascinating account of a prodigious talent who, though unable to find a suitable accommodation within his own society, nevertheless managed to produce an enormous body of brilliant work. Brent's analysis uncovers a double tragedy: that of a flawed genius, and of a society unwilling or unable to recognize and support its own best son.

Book excerpt: "'Irmgard Bartenieff has a profound knowledge of the human body and how it moves. I am delighted that this will now be made available to many more people.'." -- George Balanchine of Director, New York City Ballet "'Irmgard Bartenieff's pioneering work in the multiple applications of Labananalysis has had a transforming influence on many areas of movement training. Her careful and detailed development of the spatial principles into active corrective work has illuminated and altered the training of people as varied as dancers, choreographers, physical therapists, movement and dance therapists, and psychotherapists. Anthropologists and non-verbal communication researchers have found their world view necessarily altered by her fundamental innovations. The field of body/mind work will need to adapt to include her clear working through of basic principles.'." -- Kayla Kazahn Zalk of President, American Dance Guild

Download or read book Geometr a descriptiva Sistemas de proyecci n cil ndrica written by Sánchez Gallego, Juan Antonio and published by Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. Iniciativa Digital Politècnica. This book was released on 2010-04-10 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El libro estudia los sistemas basados en la proyección cilíndrica -diédrico, axonométrico y acotado-, su interrelación y sus características perceptivas y operativas, adecuadas al pragmatismo instrumental del dibujo técnico. Plantea el diédrico-directo como racionalizador general de la geometría de la representación y lo desarrolla prescindiendo de las clásicas introducciones conocidas como "alfabetos", y fundamenta su operatividad en la síntesis espacial de sus imágenes bidimensionales y en los movimientos con sus procesos de reconducción de una amplia generalidad a modelos claramente codificados. Desarrolla la axonometría distanciando su claro objetivo del dibujo perspectivo, con sus temas perceptivos de visualización espacial, del contenido teórico propio de su tratamiento equívovo como sistema autónomo. Centra el dibujo propio del sistema acotado en el ámbito de la planta diédrica y desarrolla sus aplicaciones a la resolución de cubiertas básicas de vertientes planas y a la representación del terreno. Aplica la lectura diédrica al estudio de las figuras básicas (cubo, circunferencia, esfera, pirámide, prisma, cono y cilindro) y sus intersecciones, que desarrolla en su aplicación a la generación de formas y concreta en las bóvedas más habituales. Incluye un capítulo dedicado al dibujo de cónicas en el cual presenta distintas opciones en función del objetivo de los trazados. El libro se desarrolla en un marco de rigor geométrico bien conciliado con el alcance de las necesidades del usuario para cada aplicación, de modo que los temas se conducen por los caminos más operativos y acordes con la fluidez del dibujo.

Book excerpt: Con esta publicación se pretende que los futuros graduados en Ingeniería que han de tener un conocimiento profundo de la representación del terreno y sus aplicaciones conozcan la herramienta imprescindible para ese fin: el sistema acotado (o de planos acotados). Para ello, en los temas primero (Generalidades) y decimocuarto (Anejos) del libro, se estudian los principios de geometría que son la base para construir dicho sistema; del tema segundo al sexto se muestra la teoría, propiamente dicha, del sistema acotado utilizando el abatimiento del plano proyectante , en primer lugar, y el abatimiento de un plano cualquiera, al final, como herramienta fundamental de estudio; del tema sexto hasta el noveno se aplica el sistema acotado a la resolución de problemas de intersección de rectas y planos con poliedros, con cilindros, con conos y con esferas por su importancia pedagógica; y del tema décimo al decimotercero, se estudian las aplicaciones más importantes del sistema acotado en ingeniería como son la resolución de cubiertas de edificaciones, la elaboración de planos y mapas topográficos, la realización de perfiles longitudinales y transversales, el estudio gráfico de las explanaciones necesarias en una obra, etc. Para facilitar, en lo posible, el aprendizaje del sistema acotado el libro contiene un número importante de figuras (trescientas), de problemas resueltos (veinticinco) y de problemas propuestos (cincuenta).

Download or read book The Mechanism of Human Facial Expression written by G. -B. Duchenne de Boulogne and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-11-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Mecanisme de la Physionomie Humaine, the great nineteenth-century French neurologist Duchenne de Boulogne combined his intimate knowledge of facial anatomy with his skill in photography and expertise in using electricity to stimulate individual facial muscles to produce a fascinating interpretation of the ways in which the human face portrays emotions. This book was pivotal in the development of psychology and physiology as it marked the first time that photography had been used to illustrate, and therefore "prove," a series of experiments. Duchenne's book, which contained over 100 original photographic prints pasted into an accompanying Album, was rare, even when it first appeared in 1862. Duchenne was a superb clinical neurologist and in this study he applied his enormous experience in neurological research to the question of the mechanism of human facial expression. Duchenne has been little cited and little known in this century; his book has been virtually unobtainable, and copies are available in only a few libraries in the United States and Europe.

Download or read book Detour and Access written by François Jullien and published by Mit Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploration of the central role of indirect modes of expression in ancient China. In what way do we benefit from speaking of things indirectly? How does such a distancing allow us better to discover--and describe--people and objects? How does distancing produce an effect? What can we gain from approaching the world obliquely? In other words, how does detour grant access? Thus begins Francois Jullien's investigation into the strategy, subtlety, and production of meaning in ancient and modern Chinese aesthetic and political texts and events. Moving between the rhetorical traditions of ancient Greece and China, Jullien does not attempt a simple comparison of the two civilizations. Instead, he uses the perspective provided by each to gain access into a culture considered by many Westerners to be strange--"It's all Chinese to me"--and whose strangeness has been eclipsed through the assumption of its familiarity. He also uses the comparison to shed light on the role of Greek thinking in Western civilization. Jullien rereads the major texts of Chinese thought--The Book of Songs, Confucius's Analects, and the work of Mencius and Lao-Tse. He addresses the question of oblique, indirect, and allusive meaning in order to explore how the techniques of detour provide access to subtler meanings than are attainable through direct approaches. Indirect speech, Jullien concludes, yields a complex mode of indication, open to multiple perspectives and variations, infinitely adaptable to particular situations and contexts. Concentrating on that which is not said, or which is spoken only through other means, Jullien traces the benefits and costs of this rhetorical strategy in which absolute truth is absent.
