Download or read book The Latin Dialect of the Ager Faliscus written by Gabriël C. L. M. Bakkum and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 742 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation. Although the Ager Faliscus lay between the areas where Etruscan, Latin and Sabellic languages were spoken, the inscriptions from the area from before c.150 bce show that it used a speech of its own, known as Faliscan. Most scholars agree that Faliscan is linguistically very close to Latin, but the hypothesis that it is in fact a Latin dialect has not been the subject of a major publication until now. In this work, the linguistic data on Faliscan provided by the inscriptions are analyzed and compared to the languages of the surrounding areas. Sociolinguistic aspects such as language contact and local identity are discussed as well. The main conclusion is that Faliscan can indeed be regarded as a dialect of Latin. The work includes a re-edition of all inscriptions, in many cases based on autopsy. This title can be previewed in Google Books - http://books.google.com/books?vid=ISBN9789056295622.

Book excerpt: "Evidentiary Realism aims to articulate a particular form of realism in art that portrays and reveals evidence from complex social systems. ...Evidentiary Realism focuses on artworks that prioritize formal aspects of visual language and mediums; diverging from journalism and reportage, they strive to provoke visual pleasure and emotional responses. The evidence is presented through photography, film, drawing, painting, and sculpture, with strong references to art history. In particular, these artists also theoretically articulate the aesthetic, social and documentary functions of their mediums in relation to the subject matter they investigate"--Page 1.

Download or read book FOUNDATIONS written by Paolo Cirio and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2020-01-28 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foundations reflects on the aesthetics and history of conceptual art concerning social complexity. Jack Burnham's seminal defining of "systems aesthetics" in 1968, followed by the exhibitions Software at the Jewish Museum and Information at MoMA in New York in 1970, mark a turn in art addressing social and technological systems. Foundations focuses on the ontologies of conceptual art examining social fields, rather than solely the making of images, forms, or gestures driven by ideas. Informed by systems, cybernetics, and communication theories, this project reckons with today's complexity in the age of algorithms, big data, and the Internet. This study and timelines by Paolo Cirio research on the genesis of the growing intersections among the domains of art, economics, politics, law, sociology, media, and technology.

Download or read book The Invisible God written by Paul Corby Finney and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1997 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This revisionist study challenges the received opinion that in its earliest manifestations Christianity was a form of religiosity opposed both on principle and in fact to the use of pictures. Paul Corby Finney argues that the well-known absence of Christian pictures before A.D. 200 is due to a complex interplay of social, economic, and political factors, and is not, as is commonly assumed, a result of an anti-image ideology. The book documents the origins of Christian art based on some of the oldest surviving Christian archaeological evidence, and it seeks to show how the Christian products conformed to the already-existing pagan types and models. This study will interest scholars and students in the fields of church history, ancient history, archaeology, art history, classics, and historical theology.

Download or read book Public Private Secret written by Charlotte Cotton and published by Aperture. This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public, Private, Secret explores the roles that photography and video play in the crafting of identity, and the reconfiguration of social conventions that define our public and private selves. This collection of essays, interviews, and reflections assesses how our image-making and consumption patterns are embedded and implicated in a wider matrix of online behavior and social codes, which in turn give images a life of their own. Within this context, our visual creations and online activities blur and remove conventional separations between public and private (and sometimes secret) expression. The writings address the various disruptions, resistances, and subversions that artists propose to the limited versions of race, gender, sexuality, and autonomy that populate mainstream popular culture. They anticipate a future for our image-world rich with diversity and alterity, one that can be shaped and influenced by the agency of self-representation.
