Download or read book The Call and the Response written by Jean-Louis Chrétien and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, the philosopher, theologian, and poet Jean-Louis Chretien revisits one of his enduring themes: how human life is shaped by the experience of call and response. Using art as a context, Chretien argues that imaginative works are acts of response to what the creator sees or hears, and to the ways in which viewers, readers, and other participants themselves respond to the experience of art: by voice, sight, hearing, touch, silence. Ranging broadly across philosophy, literature, and theology, from the Platonic idea of beauty to a phenomenology of touch and sense, Chretien identifies and explores the spiritual and philosophical dimensions of the aesthetic experience, rooting it in the irreducibly human attempt to make sense of ourselves and all the others in our world.

Download or read book Call and Response written by Rob Carney and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-15 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry. "Rob Carney is tuned to some amazing frequency--it comes from 500 North and Morton, it comes from beyond, it comes from when we were wooded slopes--but he listens and returns with these poems, thrumming with 'lifeblood,' these songs which throw down and call out (see 'Poetic Justice'), which are often rich with praise but never falsify. Sure, one might want to 'lovetalk' nature but nature will always kick our ass. It's always there, underneath us, 'with teeth.' I find this book both serious and joyful. CALL AND RESPONSE is such a good journey."--Kate Northrop

Download or read book Call Ampersand Response written by Michael Dumontier and published by Lars Maller Publishers. This book was released on 2019-06 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Call Ampersand Response is a collaborative artwork made through an exchange of images via email. Between 2011 and 2017 Michael Dumontier and Micah Lexier conceived this activity as a way to share with each other their mutual interest in found images, line drawings and used books. The starting image was of a circle on a rectangle; every subsequent image was visually connected to the previous one. It was understood from the beginning that they had to use images that could be scanned from physical items they already had at home (no images from the Internet) such as children's books, personal collections of technical manuals and assorted ephemera. The call-and-response nature of the enterprise can be appreciated in the distinctive pairs of facing pages that present themselves as you go through the bound book. To reinforce their dual roles each image appears twice in the book, once as response and again as call. One can see the resulting series of images as a closed loop with no beginning and no end. This second, expanded edition includes the entire project of 196 exchanges that make up Dumontier and Lexier's clever, competitive, and meandering loop of images. Creative people in art and design will take pleasure in browsing the book and discover formal analogies, witty poetic correspondence and dadaesque follies, which congregate to an unseen visual narrative. Truly an inspirational tool for creative activists! AUTHOR: Micah Lexier is a Toronto-based artist whose activities including making, collecting and organising. He has presented over 100 solo exhibitions, participated in more than 200 group exhibitions and has produced a dozen permanent public commissions. In 2015 Lexier was honoured with a Governor General's Awards in Visual and Media Arts. Michael Dumontier is a contemporary artist who lives and works in Winnipeg. His work has been exhibited internationally including in New York City, Boston, and Padova, Italy. He is known in particular for his minimal paintings and collages. He may be best known for his collaborations with Marcel Dzama, Neil Farber, and others as a founding member of The Royal Art Lodge.

Download or read book Bless the Birds written by Susan J. Tweit and published by She Writes Press. This book was released on 2021-04-27 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writer Susan Tweit and her economist-turned-sculptor husband Richard Cabe had just settled into their version of a “good life” when Richard saw thousands of birds one day—harbingers of the brain cancer that would kill him two years later. This compelling and intimate memoir chronicles their journey into the end of his life, framed by their final trip together, a 4,000-mile-long delayed honeymoon road trip. As Susan and Richard navigate the unfamiliar territory of brain cancer treatment and learn a whole new vocabulary—craniotomies, adjuvant chemotherapy, and brain geography—they also develop new routines for a mindful existence, relying on each other and their connection to nature, including the real birds Richard enjoys watching. Their determination to walk hand in hand, with open hearts, results in profound and difficult adjustments in their roles. Bless the Birds is not a sad story. It is both prayer and love song, a guide to how to thrive in a world where all we hold dear seems to be eroding, whether simple civility and respect, our health and safety, or the Earth itself. It’s an exploration of living with love in a time of dying—whether personal or global—with humor, unflinching courage, and grace. And it is an invitation to choose to live in light of what we love, rather than what we fear.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Reading literature in the call-and-response tradition, John F. Callahan shows how African-American writers including Charles Chesnutt, Jean Toomer, Zora Neale Hurston, Ralph Ellison, Ernest Gaines, and Alice Walker have used the forms and forces of this uniquely participatory discourse to establish not only a potential relationship between storyteller and audience but also a potential for change. In a new preface Callahan comments on how the tradition of call-and-response has continued to develop among African-American writers as well as writers of other backgrounds."
