Thomas Ruff: Tableaux Chinois Ruff Thomas

An ingenious photographic analysis of Chinese propaganda across two photo technologiesIn the early 2000s, Thomas Ruff (born 1958) chanced across a coffee-table propaganda book on Mao Zedong and became interested in the visual rhetoric of Chinese Communism, eventually purchasing copies of La Chine--the French iteration of a periodical that the Chinese Communist Party produced from the late 1950s through the 1970s as a means of demonstrating the advantages of Communism to European countries.Ruff scanned images from La Chine depicting cheerful soldiers, scenic views, ceremonial occasions and Mao himself, enlarging them to reveal the offset halftone dots, then duplicating the image and converting it into pixels; that image was then layered over the original scan, from which Ruff removed various areas. The final image therefore contains both

Greek Poems to the Gods: Hymns from Homer to Proclus Powell Barry B.

The ancient Greek hymnic tradition translated beautifully and accessibly.The hymn--as poetry, as craft, as a tool for worship and philosophy--was a vital art form throughout antiquity. Although the Homeric Hymns have long been popular, other equally important collections have not been readily accessible to students eager to learn about ancient poetry. In reading hymns, we also gain valuable insight into life in the classical world. In this collection, early Homeric Hymns of uncertain authorship appear along with the carefully wrought hymns of the great Hellenistic poet and courtier Callimachus; the mystical writings attributed to the legendary poet Orpheus, written as Christianity was taking over the ancient world; and finally, the hymns of Proclus, the last great pagan philosopher of antiquity, from the fifth century AD, whose intellectual influence

Whiteness Lund Martin

The socially constructed phenomenon of whiteness: how it was created, how it changes, and how it protects and privileges people who are perceived as white.This volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series examines the socially constructed phenomenon of whiteness, tracing its creation, its changing formation, and its power to privilege and protect people who are perceived as white. Whiteness, author Martin Lund explains, is not one single idea but a shifting, overarching category, a flexible cluster of historically, culturally, and geographically contingent ideals and standards that enable systems of hierarchical classification. Lund discusses words used to talk about whiteness, from white privilege to white fragility; the intersections of whiteness with race, class, and gender; whiteness in popular culture; and such ideas as "colorblindness" and "reverse

Master/slave Mastery--Protocols: Focusing the intent of your relationship Rubel Robert J.

Many get tripped up over the very concept of written protocols. We've met many Masters who believe that writing out the way they want things done removes creativity from the relationship. That's not the way we see it.In our experience, a protocol manual is much more than documenting rules of service. Writing a protocol manual helps you examine and refine your relationship and your relationship management style. The very process of creating a manual such as this reveals the kinds of service Master really wants from the slave and the kinds of service the slave can actually deliver. In that light, writing a protocol manual is an exercise in clarifying the intent of your relationship.Biased as we are, we assert that protocols help to reprogram both the Master's and the slave's brains. They help you create habits. Protocols don't merely define how you look on the outside, protocols help

Vykoupení Kryštofa Kolumba - Orson Scott Card

Vykoupení Kryštofa Kolumba sice není nejznámějším Cardovým dílem, ale mnozí ho pokládají za jeho nejvyzrálejší a možná i nejlepší román. Každý ví, jak zničující účinek mělo objevení Ameriky na tamní domorodé obyvatelstvo. Představte si tedy, že vědci z budoucnosti tuto tragédii pečlivě prostudovali a rozhodli se tok dějin změnit. Nejdříve je však nutné zjistit, co vlastně pohánělo Kolumba tak silně v jeho objevitelské snaze...A to je úkol pro dvojici pozorovatelů, manželský pár a později i pro jejich dceru. Kolumbus se v jejich očích proměňuje z dobře známé historické postavy v charismatického vůdce, hluboce věřícího člověka a muže mnoha předností i slabostí, které korespondují s dobovým chápáním světa. Zcela samostatný román Vykoupení Kryštofa Kolumba patří díky pečlivě a věrohodně vystavěným charakterům k vrcholným dílům science fiction s motivem cest v čase.

The Path of Drawing - Patricia Watwood

Introducing a practice to enhance mental and spiritual well-being for the enrichment of one's life in The Path of Drawing, author Patricia Watwood offers readers a systematic approach to drawing that combines basic instruction and mindfulness exercises. Today, many people look to cultivating creativity as a means to improve one's quality of life, to unplug, to alleviate negative conditions like stress, anxiety, and depression, and to build resilience and enjoy the present moment. Adjacent to such practices as meditation and journaling, drawing is an accessible and personal medium that can facilitate both creativity and mental and spiritual health. The sample projects in this book are designed to be approachable and manageable in a short period of time. They are not intended to be a rigorous course of study toward mastering complex skills, but, rather, are designed to offer the reader exercises that will help them enjoy time spent working creatively, and develop some technical skills and master simple concepts along the way. Readers should find that daily creative practice and being more open to observing the joys of the world around them can help build qualities of patience, confidence, calm, connectedness, and bravery.
