Book excerpt: Translator's Summary.. The Journey of Styles is one that could never be understood if it were not for the constant retellings of its story. The book was first discovered in the Barthes farmhouse near the town of St Cecile de Cayrou in South West France in the year of 2008. The handwritten book enclosed in a sealed envelope dated 1812. A brief note written in French gave the date and location of where the book had been discovered. Knights of St John Monastery, Valetta Malta. 1783 by French forces.The original book was written Hebrew and chronicled the travels of an Australian man known as Styles. The events that took place in the years 1771 to 1783. The events that occur are strikingly similar to the events of Cook and others towards the end of the 1800's. However no such documented voyages occurred. The story was told by an unknown narrator and the events within recounted the travels of a man from Australia known as Styles. Due to the long periods of time Styles spends alone in the book it can only be assumed that he is in fact the author. An argument against this would be that the narrator never once calls himself Styles. If the story was true we could assume it was told orally by Styles to an as yet unidentified scribe. In modern times we find ourselves once again presented with the truth. It is the year 2020 and with the internet, we find ourselves able to find any truth. It seems this book was written for the future generations - one in fact - this one. As we search for answers we find they were already found. They were waiting for us all along.

In the course of The Journey Matters, Jonathan Glancey travels from the early 1930s to the turn of the century on some of what he considers to be the most truly glamorous and romantic trips he has ever dreamed of or made in real life. Each of the twenty journeys allows him to explore the history of routes taken, and the events - social and political - enveloping them. Each is the story of the machines that made these journeys possible, of those who shaped them and those, too, who travelled on them. --

So far, they & rsquo;re pretty simple: Finish her senior year of high school, head off to a good college, find a cute boyfriend, graduate, get a good job, get married, the whole heterosexual shebang. Nothing is going to stand in the way of that plan. Not even Stella Lewis. Stella Lewis also has a plan: Finish her senior year as cheer captain, go to college, finally let herself flirt with (and maybe even date) a girl for the first time and go from there. Fate has other plans for Kyle and Stella when they're paired up in their AP English class and something between them ignites. It's confusing and overwhelming and neither of them know what to do about it. One thing they do know is that their connection can't be ignored. The timing just isn't right. But is there ever a good time for falling in love?

Download or read book A Dialectical Journey through Fashion and Philosophy written by Eun Jung Kang and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes an in-depth look at the integration of fashion and philosophy. It challenges the deeply rooted prejudice or misconception that fashion is a field limited to body-oriented and appearance-related themes and practices. It also reveals that fashion is intermeshed with distinctively modern issues that belong to the realm of the mind as well as the body. In doing so, it refashions philosophy and philosophizes fashion, which ultimately amount to the same thing. The book argues that while the philosophization of fashion can give a clearer understanding of some esoteric areas of philosophy and fashion’s close connection to modern societies and politics, it also shows that philosophy can assist in redeeming fashion from the objective, bodily world, positioning it as an indispensable part of the humanities. This is because fashion manifests critical aspects of human culture in our time, and is an expression of the zeitgeist, which is interwoven with the unfolding of history. This book will be highly relevant to students and researchers in fashion studies who are looking for the theoretical underpinnings and insights for their own work. It will also be of keen interest to scholars in the field of philosophy who are seeking to apply philosophical concepts to both everyday life and our empirical world.

Download or read book Mastering Photographic Composition Creativity and Personal Style written by Alain Briot and published by "O'Reilly Media, Inc.". This book was released on 2010-12-14 with total page 727 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alain Briot states that, "The personality of the photographer must be present in the image for an artistic photograph to have value." And in this book he sets out to teach the things that are essential in achieving this goal. Following his successful first book, Mastering Landscape Photography, Briot goes beyond the conventional rules of composition and takes on a fresh, new approach to teaching the art of photography. Based upon his personal experiences as an artist, teacher, and photographer, he opens new doors to the reader-doors leading to new ways of seeing and composing images. Briot approaches fine art photography as being a combination of art and technique. In this new book he addresses both of these by presenting artistic and technical information. On the artistic side, Briot introduces artistic concepts that have been rarely, if ever, associated with photography. On the technical side, he presents numerous tools that can help you learn how to create better photographs and provides technical solutions to common photographic problems. The author practices photography as a fine art. What matters most to him is how photography can be used to express feelings and emotions. For Briot, a good photograph must be both artistically inspired and technically excellent. To have just one of these two elements is not enough for a fine art photograph to be successful. Topics include: - How to compose with color, with black and white, and with light - Why you need to consider your audience while composing a photograph - Recreate the emotions you felt when you captured your photographs - How the elements of color-hue, contrast, and saturation-work in your images - How to control the elements that have a visual effect in your photographs - How to draw upon your personal way of seeing and then share your vision - How to diagnose image maladies and apply the proper remedies - How to define a color palette for a specific photograph - How to use compositional elements to develop a personal style Forweword by Tony Sweet

Download or read book Fashion and Cultural Studies written by Susan B. Kaiser and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-08-01 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bridging theory and practice, this accessible text provides an introduction to fashion from both cultural studies and fashion studies perspectives, and addresses the growing interaction between the two fields. Cultural studies relies on fashion to exemplify change as well as continuity, examine identity and difference, agency and structure, and production and consumption. Fashion, meanwhile, benefits from the interpretative lens of cultural studies; its key concepts, contextual flexibility, and attention to bridging 'high' and 'popular' culture, contemporary and historical perspectives, and diverse identity issues and methodologies. Organised thematically, the book uses a wide range of cross-cultural case studies to explore ethnicity, class, gender and nation through fashion, and explains the ways in which these notions interact and overlap. Drawing on intersectionality theory in feminist theory and cultural studies, Fashion and Cultural Studies is essential reading for students and scholars.
