Book excerpt: Although much has been written on the aesthetic value of color, there are other values that adhere to it with economic and social values among them. Through case studies of particular colors and colored objects, this volume demonstrates just how complex the history of color is by focusing on the diverse social and cultural meanings of color; the trouble, pain, and suffering behind the production and application of these colors; the difficult technical processes for making and applying color; and the intricacy of commercial exchanges and knowledge transfers as commodities and techniques moved from one region to another. By emphasizing color's materiality, the way in which it was produced, exchanged, and used by artisans, artists, and craftspersons, contributors draw attention to the disjuncture between the beauty of color and the blood, sweat, and tears that went into its production, circulation, and application as well as to the complicated and varied social meanings attached to color within specific historical and social contexts. This book captures color's global history with chapters on indigo plantations in India and the American South, cochineal production in colonial Oaxaca, the taste for brightly colored Chinese objects in Europe, and the thriving trade in vermilion between Europeans and Native Americans. To underscore the complexity of the technical knowledge behind color production, there are chapters on the 'discovery' of Prussian blue, Brazilian feather techn?and wallpaper production. To sound the depths of color's capacity for social and cultural meaning-making, there are chapters that explore the significance of black ink in Shakespeare's sonnets, red threads in women's needlework samplers, blues in Mayan sacred statuary, and greens and yellows in colored glass bracelets that were traded across the Arabian desert in the late Middle Ages. The purpose of this book is to recover color's complex-and sometimes morally troubling-past, and in doing so,

Download or read book Second Finding written by Barbara Folkart and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 2007-09-06 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The translation of poetry has always fascinated the theorists, as the chances of "replicating" in another language the one-off resonance of music, imagery, and truth values of a poem are vanishingly small. Translation is often envisaged as a matter of mapping over into the target language the surface features or semiotic structures of the source poem. Little wonder, then, that the vast majority of translations fail to be poetry in their own right. These essays focus on the poetically viable translation - the derived poem that, while resonating with the original, really is a poem. They proceed from a writerly perspective, eschewing both the theoretical overkill that spawns mice out of mountains and the ideological misappropriation that uses poetry as a way to push agendas. The emphasis throughout is on process and the poem-to-come.to move forward in theory and practice and opens new paths in land policy research.

Download or read book Jean Jacques Rousseau Et la Lecture written by Tanguy L'Aminot and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rousseau et la lecture est un livre collectif, fruit d'un s minaire de l'Equipe J.-J. Rousseau anime par Tanguy L'Aminot l'Universit de Paris IV-Sorbonne. Compose d'une vingtaine d'articles, il se propose d'examiner le rapport que Jean-Jacques Rousseau a entretenu avec les livres, la litt rature, la philosophie, la science et l'esth tique de son temps.Plus que les sources de son uvre ce qui est analyse ici, c'est le dialogue qui s' tablit dans les crits de Jean-Jacques avec un ou plusieurs auteurs ou avec un sujet particulier, Celui qui dans l'Emile d clarait ha r tous les livres, s'est r v l un lecteur tonnant, au fait de la pens e et de l'art sous leurs aspects les plus divers. Les auteurs de ce recueil se sont donc demande non seulement quels taient les ouvrages qui avaient marqu Rousseau et quelle valeur ou quel int r t pr sentait telle ou telle lecture pour lui, mais aussi comment Rousseau souhaitait tre lu lui-meme. Lire appara t comme un v ritable r v lateur de tout l' tre et peut avoir des cons quences funestes ou perverses dont il convient de se pr munir. En aucun cas, chez Rousseau, la lecture n'est un rite innocent ou gratuit. Quatre tudes pr sentent d'ailleurs quelques-unes des lectures qui ont t faites de Rousseau depuis sa mort. De Sade Jean Starobinski, Pierre Burgelin, Jacques Derrida, Paul de Man et au lecteur ordinaire des ann es 1980, on peut appr cier les multiples portraits qui ont t faits d'un auteur qui tenait ce qu'on le voit, le lise et le comprenne sa fa on. Rousseau qui avait lu Leibniz, Spinoza ou Helv tius selon son cur et son syst me, n'etait-il pas a son tour victime de la trahison de ses lecteurs? Mais lire, ne serait-ce pas avant tout trahir, traduire et contredire celui qui est lu? Le conduire au-del de lui dans l'univers d'autrui?

Download or read book Adventures with the Theory of the Baroque and French Philosophy written by Nadir Lahiji and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-09-22 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analysing the reception of contemporary French philosophy in architecture over the last four decades, Adventures with the Theory of the Baroque and French Philosophy discusses the problematic nature of importing philosophical categories into architecture. Focusing particularly on the philosophical notion of the Baroque in Gilles Deleuze, this study examines traditional interpretations of the concept in contemporary architecture theory, throwing up specific problems such as the aestheticization of building theory and practice. Identifying these and other issues, Nadir Lahiji constructs a concept of the baroque in contrast to the contemporary understanding in architecture discourse. Challenging the contemporary dominance of the Neo-Baroque as a phenomenon related to postmodernism and late capitalism, he establishes the Baroque as a name for the paradoxical unity of 'kitsch' and 'high' art and argues that the digital turn has enhanced the return of the Baroque in contemporary culture and architectural practice that he brands a pseudo-event in the term 'neobaroque'. Lahiji's original critique expands on the misadventure of architecture with French Philosophy and explains why the category of the Baroque, if it is still useful to keep in architecture criticism, must be tied to the notion of Post-Rationalism. Within this latter notion, he draws on the work of Alain Badiou to theorize a new concept of the Baroque as Event. Alongside close readings of Walter Benjamin, Theodor Adorno and Michel Foucault related to the criticism of the Baroque and Modernity and discussions of the work of Frank Gehry, in particular, this study draws on Jacque Lacan's concept of the baroque and presents the first comprehensive treatment of the psychoanalytical theory of the Baroque in the work of Lacan.
