Download or read book Self Representation in an Expanded Field written by Ace Lehner and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2021-05-31 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Defined as a self-image made with a hand-held mobile device and shared via social media platforms, the selfie has facilitated self-imaging becoming a ubiquitous part of globally networked contemporary life. Beyond this selfies have facilitated a diversity of image making practices and enabled otherwise representationally marginalized constituencies to insert self-representations into visual culture. In the Western European and North American art-historical context, self-portraiture has been somewhat rigidly albeit obliquely defined, and selfies have facilitated a shift regarding who literally holds the power to self-image. Like self-portraits, not all selfies are inherently aesthetically or conceptually rigorous or avant-guard. But, –as this project aims to do address via a variety of interdisciplinary approaches– selfies have irreversibly impacted visual culture, contemporary art, and portraiture in particular. Selfies propose new modes of self-imaging, forward emerging aesthetics and challenge established methods, they prove that as scholars and image-makers it is necessary to adapt and innovate in order to contend with the most current form of self-representation to date. The essays gathered herein will reveal that in our current moment it is necessary and advantageous to consider the merits and interventions of selfies and self-portraiture in an expanded field of self-representations. We invite authors to take interdisciplinary global perspectives, to investigate various sub-genres, aesthetic practices, and lineages in which selfies intervene to enrich the discourse on self-representation in the expanded field today.

Download or read book Oraciones y Alabanzas a Nuestro Dios written by Alejandro Roque Glez and published by Alejandro's Libros. This book was released on 2011-06 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El autor de 'Oraciones y alabanzas a nuestro Dios' nació en Ciudad Habana, Cuba, y actualmente reside en el sur de la Florida, Estados Unidos; entre sus escritos se encuentran poemas de diferente temario; otras obras extensas de carácter bíblico y teológico tal cual el libro titulado '¡Tierra, tierra, tierra! Oye Palabra de Yahweh', así como cuentos, obra de teatro, escritos políticos y sobre el acontecer mundial y de su país natal; además del conocido libro autobiográfico 'Nacido Patria o Muerte', y las obras literarias 'Aventuras de Victorino Chang'. 'El gran pacificador del Infierno', y 'El Rey Victorino'.Oraciones y alabanzas nunca imaginó ver la luz pública. Su autor-empleando un formato literario sencillo-decidió conservar sus oraciones al Señor de manera privada y reservada; en gran parte recopilándolas durante el año 1998; y recientemente decidió hacerlas públicas para que otros pudieran asociarlas con las suyas y esto proporcionara algún tipo de consolación e interioridad, mientras transitamos este mundo de altas montañas y llanos pedregosos, en los brazos de nuestro Padre celestial.Que el Señor bendiga al lector mientras transita por esos estados en que nos ahogamos ante la tristeza inesperada, o regocijamos en la alegría de nuestra esperanza cotidiana y eterna. No es objetivo en estos pasajes el de representar algún tipo de institución religiosa, sino compartir la intimidad de una oración o alabanza desde la sencillez de nuestra veracidad: ¿Y de qué otra forma podríamos acercarnos al Creador? Esperamos que estas 47 oraciones y alabanzas le sean de bendición al lector en medio de un mundo que ignora al Dador de la vida y Redentor nuestro.Como dato complementario relacionado a la trayectoria educacional del autor, es graduado con una Maestría en Ciencias (MS) y enseñanza de la lengua española en Nova Southeastern University (NSU); graduado con una Licenciatura en Artes (BA) y la lengua española en Florida Atlantic University (FAU) ambas en los EE.UU; y graduado como Piloto de Combate y Mando Táctico en el Instituto Militar Superior de las Fuerzas Aéreas Soviéticas A.

Download or read book Acknowledged Legislator written by Edward J. Carvalho and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-04-17 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acknowledged Legislator: Critical Essays on the Poetry of Martín Espada stands as the first-ever collection of essays on poet and activist Martín Espada. It is also, to date, the only published book-length, single-author study of Espada currently in existence. Relying on innovative, highly original contributions from thirteen Espada scholars, its principal aim is to argue for a long overdue critical awareness of and cultural appreciation for Espada and his body of writing. Acknowledged Legislator accomplishes this task in three fundamental ways: by providing readers with background information on the poet’s life and work; offering an examination into the subject matter and dominant themes that are frequently contained in his writing; and finally, by advocating, in a variety of ways, for why we should be reading, discussing, and teaching the Espada canon. Divided into four distinct sections that modulate through several theoretical frames—from Espada’s attention to resistance poetics and concerns for historical memory to his oppositional critique of neoliberalism and support for a class consciousness grounded in labor rights—Acknowledged Legislator offers a cohesive, forward-thinking interpretive statement of the poet’s vision and proposes a critical (re)assessment for how we read Espada, now and in the future.

Download or read book A Companion to Contemporary Art in a Global Framework written by Jane Chin Davidson and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-10-16 with total page 597 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Companion to Contemporary Art in a Global Framework explores the ways specialists and institutions in the fine arts, curation, cultural studies, and art history have attempted to situate art in a more global framework since the 1980s. Offering analyses of the successes and setbacks of these efforts to globalize the art world, this innovative volume presents a new and exciting way of considering art in its global contexts. Essays by an international panel of leading scholars and practicing artists assert that what we talk about as ‘art’ is essentially a Western concept, thus any attempts at understanding art in a global framework require a revising of established conceptual definitions. Organized into three sections, this work first reviews the history and theory of the visual arts since 1980 and introduces readers to the emerging area of scholarship that seeks to place contemporary art in a global framework. The second section traces the progression of recent developments in the art world, focusing on the historical and cultural contexts surrounding efforts to globalize the art world and the visual arts in particular global and transnational frameworks. The final section addresses a wide range of key themes in contemporary art, such as the fundamental institutions and ontologies of art practice, and the interactions among art, politics, and the public sphere. A Companion to Contemporary Art in a Global Framework is essential reading for undergraduate and graduate students, scholars, researchers, and general readers interested in exploring global art beyond the traditional Euro-American context.
