Download or read book To Make Their Own Way in the World written by Ilisa Barbash and published by Aperture. This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To Make Their Own Way in the World is a profound consideration of some of the most challenging images in the early history of photography. The fifteen daguerreotypes--made in 1850 by photographer Joseph T. Zealy--portray Alfred, Delia, Drana, Fassena, Jack, Jem, and Renty, men and women of African descent who were enslaved in South Carolina. Since 1976, when the daguerreotypes were rediscovered at Harvard University's Peabody Museum, the photographs have been the subject of intense and widespread study. To Make Their Own Way in the World features essays by prominent scholars who explore everything from the photographs' historical context and the "science" of race to the ways in which photography created a visual narrative of slavery and its effects. Multidisciplinary, deeply collaborative, and with more than two hundred illustrations, including new photography by contemporary artist Carrie Mae Weems, this book frames the Zealy daguerreotypes as works of urgent contemporary inquiry.

Download or read book HOW TO CREATE YOUR OWN WORLD BOOK 1 written by Kamal Mahalingam and published by Kamal Mahalingam. This book was released on 2022-08-22 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since you’re reading this, I will assume that you are looking for a way to achieve success, peace, and happiness in your life. Well, I believe you have come to the right place. Most definitions of success focus on attaining wealth. While I will not discount the importance of that, my definition of success also includes being in harmony with your nature, being happy with your relationships, and being satisfied with your vocation. Some people instinctively know how to achieve success. Consequently, they have figured out ‘how’ to create their own world. Maybe you've met some of these people. What they all seem to have in common is a fulfillment within themselves, their mates and especially with their calling. Unfortunately, most people do not share that feeling of success especially as it relates to their job or career. If this is a concern for you, then maybe it’s time to consider changing the way you’ve managed your work life. Let me be frank. The intent of this book is to help you find success by teaching you ‘how’ to Create Your Own World. Although you can apply the concepts for Creating Your Own World to many facets of life, however, since a satisfying work life is so essential for happiness, much of what I will focus on is ‘how’ to discover a rewarding work life, often referred to as your ‘Calling’. To achieve success, I believe you need to become enlightened in three distinct areas. First, you need to understand applied psychology, attitudes and how your conscious and sub-conscious minds work. Next, you need to know ‘how’ to harmonize with your true nature. In other words ‘finding your calling’. By finding your ‘calling’, I mean discovering the career you should have, experiencing the peace you should embrace, and doing those activities that you conclude are enjoyable. Finally, to help you discover and actualize your calling you need a successful process. Give me your undivided attention and I will show you exactly what you need to do to discover and achieve an exciting career, and a wonderful life.

Download or read book A World of Its Own written by Matt Garcia and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2010-01-27 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tracing the history of intercultural struggle and cooperation in the citrus belt of Greater Los Angeles, Matt Garcia explores the social and cultural forces that helped make the city the expansive and diverse metropolis that it is today. As the citrus-growing regions of the San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys in eastern Los Angeles County expanded during the early twentieth century, the agricultural industry there developed along segregated lines, primarily between white landowners and Mexican and Asian laborers. Initially, these communities were sharply divided. But Los Angeles, unlike other agricultural regions, saw important opportunities for intercultural exchange develop around the arts and within multiethnic community groups. Whether fostered in such informal settings as dance halls and theaters or in such formal organizations as the Intercultural Council of Claremont or the Southern California Unity Leagues, these interethnic encounters formed the basis for political cooperation to address labor discrimination and solve problems of residential and educational segregation. Though intercultural collaborations were not always successful, Garcia argues that they constitute an important chapter not only in Southern California's social and cultural development but also in the larger history of American race relations.
Download or read book Fantasy World Building written by Mark Nelson and published by Dover Publications. This book was released on 2019-02-13 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When artists and designers explore or create a fictional setting, the milieu must be completely fleshed out, explained, and designed. In this book, comic and gaming art veteran Mark A. Nelson explores and demonstrates his methods for fashioning visually stunning, believable environments for fantasy creatures and characters. Scores of images and step-by-step examples illustrate how variation and experimentation lead to fresh, original designs for otherworldly beings, their environments, and their stories. Nelson discusses how to find ideas and borrow from history to add the strength of realism to a fantasy world. In describing the best ways to establish a habitat, he offers specifics about climate, terrain, flora, and wildlife. He shares insights into founding societies in terms of their means of survival, manner of warfare, spiritual practices, style of dress, and levels of technology. All visual creatives who work with imaginative material — illustrators, comic artists, and writers — will take a lively interest in this source of inspiration and practical knowledge.

Download or read book Making the New World Their Own written by Qiong Zhang and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-05-26 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Making the New World Their Own, Qiong Zhang offers a systematic study of how Chinese scholars in the late Ming and early Qing came to understand that the earth is shaped as a globe. This notion arose from their encounters with Matteo Ricci, Giulio Aleni and other Jesuits. These encounters formed a fascinating chapter in the early modern global integration of space. It unfolded as a series of mutually constitutive and competing scholarly discourses that reverberated in fields from cosmology, cartography and world geography to classical studies. Zhang demonstrates how scholars such as Xiong Mingyu, Fang Yizhi, Jie Xuan, Gu Yanwu, and Hu Wei appropriated Jesuit ideas to rediscover China’s place in the world and reconstitute their classical tradition. Winner of the Chinese Historians in the United States (CHUS) "2015 Academic Excellence Award"
