Download or read book The Aesthetic Border written by Brantley Nicholson and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2022-05-22 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking study examines how modern Colombian literature—from Gabriel García Márquez to Juan Gabriel Vásquez—reflects one of the world’s most tumultuous entrances into globalization. While these literary icons, one canonical, the other emergent, bookend Colombia’s fall and rise on the world stage, the period between the two was inordinately violent, spanning the Colombian urban novel’s evolution into narco-literature. Marking Colombia’s cultural and literary manifestations as threefold, this book explores García Márquez’s retreat to a rural romanticism that paradoxically made him a global literary icon; the country’s violent end to the twentieth century when its largest economic export was narcotics; and the contemporary period in which a new major author has emerged to create a “literature of national reconstitution.” Harkening back to the Regeneration movement and extending through the early twenty-first century, this book analyzes the cultural implications of Colombia’s relationship to the wider world.

Download or read book Approximation Theory written by Ole Christensen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2004-03-18 with total page 1080 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This concisely written book gives an elementary introduction to a classical area of mathematics—approximation theory—in a way that naturally leads to the modern field of wavelets. The exposition, driven by ideas rather than technical details and proofs, demonstrates the dynamic nature of mathematics and the influence of classical disciplines on many areas of modern mathematics and applications. Key features and topics: * Description of wavelets in words rather than mathematical symbols * Elementary introduction to approximation using polynomials (Weierstrass’ and Taylor’s theorems) * Introduction to infinite series, with emphasis on approximation-theoretic aspects * Introduction to Fourier analysis * Numerous classical, illustrative examples and constructions * Discussion of the role of wavelets in digital signal processing and data compression, such as the FBI’s use of wavelets to store fingerprints * Minimal prerequisites: elementary calculus * Exercises that may be used in undergraduate and graduate courses on infinite series and Fourier series Approximation Theory: From Taylor Polynomials to Wavelets will be an excellent textbook or self-study reference for students and instructors in pure and applied mathematics, mathematical physics, and engineering. Readers will find motivation and background material pointing toward advanced literature and research topics in pure and applied harmonic analysis and related areas.
Download or read book Creativity and Time A Sociological Exploration written by Juan A. Roche Cárcel and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-15 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book defends that the pursuit of originality constitutes one of the most important characteristics of creativity, but that originality refers, etymologically, to both origin and originary. Hence, the book is structured into two parts, dedicated, respectively, to the creative categories of origin and the creative categories of originary. Within the former are creation myths, games – the origin of all cultural activity, the dialectic chaos-order, axial civilizations – the germ of our time, and the struggle between generations – a factor of social transformation, and, within the second, creative capitalism, creative work in the context of the global economy of risk and uncertainty, and representative democracy. However, these two concepts are not isolated, but deeply interrelated, in a way that explains how creative originality builds a temporal narrative. It has been dislocated in late modernity and, with it, creativity has been broken.

This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 820 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Estética y teoría del arte son disciplinas -y actividades- que desarrollan su marco teórico en el Siglo de las Luces, en estrecho contacto con la historia y la crítica de arte, con la progresiva difusión y popularización de las obras en salones y exposiciones, el auge del periodismo, etc. Fenómenos que hoy son cotidianos tuvieron entonces su punto de partida e incidieron de manera decisiva en la configuración de las diferentes teorías. Este primer volumen de la Historia de las ideas estéticas y de las teorías artísticas contemporáneas analiza ese proceso tal como se produjo a lo largo de los siglos xviii y xix, procurando destacar los momentos, temas y autores que constituyen sus ejes fundamentales y relacionando aspectos que son tratados habitualmente de forma independiente. El resultado es una historia que propone, también, una concepción de la estética y la teoría del arte diferente de la habitual. En este primer volumen de la Historia de las ideas estéticas y de las teorías artísticas contemporáneas se abordan los principales problemas y se analiza a los más destacados autores en este campo. Se inicia con un análisis de los importantes cambios habidos en el siglo xviii, en especial el desarrollo de la estética empirista y el movimiento ilustrado, pero también las teorías arquitectónicas y fenómenos como el de la crítica de arte y el desarrollo de los salones. Los autores fundamentales para la comprensión de la historia de la estética son motivo de una especial atención: Kant, Addison, Burke, Hume, etcétera.
Download or read book The Dilemma of Modernity written by John A. McCulloch and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2007 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dilemma of Modernity is a study of the evolution of Ramón Gómez de la Serna's narrative fiction within the context of European Modernism. At a time when Joyce, Kafka, Proust, and Woolfe were experimenting with prose fiction, very little is known about Spain's contribution to the novel. Despite his years in Paris, when it was still considered the cultural capital of Europe, and his championing of the avant-garde in Spain in the 1920s through his literary salon Pombo, which attracted figures such as Borges, Picasso, Huidobro, Buñuel and Lorca, Ramón Gómez de la Serna's work has suffered from critical neglect. The Dilemma of Modernity sets Gómez de la Serna's work within the cultural and historical context of the time and traces his evolution from aesthete to promoter of the avant-garde, modernist, and existentialist.
Download or read book Horizontal Art History and Beyond written by Agata Jakubowska and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-07-08 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is devoted to the concept of horizontal art history—a proposal of a paradigm shift formulated by the Polish art historian Piotr Piotrowski (1952–2015)—that aims at undermining the hegemony of the discourse of art history created in the Western world. The concept of horizontal art history is one of many ideas on how to conduct nonhierarchical art historical analysis that have been developed in different geopolitical locations since at least the 1970s, parallel to the ongoing process of decolonization. This book is a critical examination of horizontal art history which provokes a discussion on the original concept of horizontal art history and possible methods to extend it. This is an edited volume written by international scholars who acknowledge the importance of the concept, share its basic assumptions and are aware both of its advantages and limitations. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, art historiography and postcolonial studies.

Book excerpt: La referencia goyesca que da título al libro supone un retrato académico y personal del profesor Leonardo Romero, a quien un grupo de colegas y discípulos ofrece esta colección de estudios: compromiso con la investigación filológica y la transmisión del saber de forma permanente. Las aportaciones reunidas abordan líneas de trabajo que él ha seguido con excelencia: para empezar, el siglo XIX, con atención prioritaria al romanticismo y a la novela realista; pero también, a la historiografía de la literatura, los epistolarios y las literaturas del yo, y las relaciones entre lo literario y las artes visuales.

Download or read book Theology of Contemporary Art written by Felix Hernandez Mariano and published by ATF Press. This book was released on 2018-11-01 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's world we want everything to be clear, effective and instantaneous, a useless desire that, in addition, locks the human being into only appearance. Contemporary art, as a reflection of the concerns and needs of today's humanity demands attention, silence, reflection and a discerning eye. For this reason, it becoems a privileged platform for the encounter with Mystery, with a God who escapes all configurations or concepts. This function is what makes the work of the Dominican, Kim En Joong OP, an internationally recognised artist, so remarkbale. These pages deepen, from a novel theologhical perspewctive, the different elements that nmake up his work: colour, shape, light, composition ... a persoewctrive that guides us towards the contemplation of the Mystery that the painter shows us. A fascinating book, which is one and the same time accesible and a gift for all, believer or not, who feels the thirst for depth.
