Arco Libros - La Muralla, S.L. Francisco de Zurbarn
Book SynopsisFrancisco de Zurbarán tuvo un papel decisivo en la renovación del arte sevillano de la primera mitad del siglo XVII. Su interés por la expresión naturalista de las emociones humanas en la pintura religiosa constituye uno de los aspectos pioneros más interesantes de su arte. Pero curiosamente, en la iconografía de las santas y vírgenes, este pintor tan ?moderno? mantuvo en la producción considerable de su obrador, modelos de santas convencionales caracterizados por un rostro inexpresivo y la descripción pormenorizada del ropaje de gran riqueza. De dicho obrador salieron varias series de santas que se han venido considerando como lo más grato de su producción. Estas figuras femeninas elegantísimas, con escasos atributos místicos, son un modelo de gracia auténticamente sevillana. Otras veces, en cambio, las santas aparecen con unos rasgos muy personales, lo que ha hecho suponer que se trataba de retratos ?a lo divino?.

Taylor & Francis Ltd (Sales) Welcome to the Jungle
Book SynopsisWelcome to the Jungle brings a black British perspective to the critical reading of a wide range of cultural texts, events and experiences arising from volatile transformations in the politics of ethnicity, sexuality and race during the 1980s. The ten essays collected here examine new forms of cultural expression in black film, photography and visual art exerging with a new generation of black British artists, and interprets this prolific creativity within a sociological framework that reveals fresh perspectives on the bewildering complexity of identity and diversity in an era of postmodernity. Kobena Mercer documents a wealth of insights opened up by the overlapping of Asian, African and Caribbean cultures that constitute Black Britain as a unique domain of diaspora.Trade Review"A passionate and detailed history of the New Black British Cultural Studies by one of the major players in its making. In its attention to "the formal and strategic aesthetics of hybridity," and to the differences and alliances between Black US and Black British, this book is indeed "intranational and outernational." -- Gayatri Chakravorty SpivakTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1: Monster Metaphors; 2: Diaspora Culture and the Dialogic Imagination; 3: Recoding Narratives of Race and Nation; 4: Black Hair/Style Politics; 5: Black Masculinity and the Sexual Politics of Race; 6: Reading Racial Fetishism; 7: Dark & Lovely; 8: Black Art and the Burden of Representation; 9: Welcome to the Jungle; 10: “1968”

Taylor & Francis A Confucian Approach to Media Ethics
Book SynopsisA Confucian Approach to Media Ethics offers a comprehensive theorization of an approach to media ethics based on the moral philosophy that originated from China and that profoundly influenced East Asian countries.This book engages with foundational concepts from Confucian ethics and explicates a new framework that can be used for guiding media practices, as well as media ethics research and teaching. It suggests that the Confucian ideals of He (harmony), Zhong (equilibrium), and the notion of Junzi can be applied to guide intercultural media practices, and sets out a fresh model for ethics education centered on Xiuji (self-cultivation) that is different from the training-based and decision-making-centered model prevalent in the Western classrooms. This is also a framework that emphasizes both individual moral growth and the moral character of the broader professional community.Filling a gap in the conversation between Eastern and Western approaches to media ethi

Cambridge University Press Conceptual Revolutions in TwentiethCentury Art
Book SynopsisFrom Picasso's Cubism and Duchamp's readymades to Warhol's silkscreens and Smithson's earthworks, the art of the twentieth century broke completely with earlier artistic traditions. A basic change in the market for advanced art produced a heightened demand for innovation, and young conceptual innovators â from Picasso and Duchamp to Rauschenberg and Warhol to Cindy Sherman and Damien Hirst â responded not only by creating dozens of new forms of art, but also by behaving in ways that would have been incomprehensible to their predecessors. Conceptual Revolutions in Twentieth-Century Art presents the first systematic analysis of the reasons for this discontinuity. David W. Galenson, whose earlier research has changed our understanding of creativity, combines social scientific methods with qualitative analysis to produce a fundamentally new interpretation of modern art that will give readers a far deeper appreciation of the art of the past century, and of today, than is available elsewhereTrade Review“To Mr. Galenson markets are what make the 20th century completely different from other eras for art. . . . [B]reaking the rules became the most valued attribute. The greatest rewards went to conceptual innovators who frequently changed styles and invented genres.” – Patricia Cohen, The New York Times“David Galenson brings the insights of an economic historian to this fascinating study of innovation in modern art. He shows how changes in the structure of the market for new art altered the innovation process itself and how the nature of innovation developed in the lives of many 20th century artists. Anyone interested in the development of 20th century art and any economist interested in the general process of innovation will want to read this book.” – Martin Feldstein, Department of Economics, Harvard University"With this book, David Galenson burnishes his reputation as one of the most interesting economists at work today. Once you've read Conceptual Revolutions in Twentieth-Century Art, you'll never look at modern art – or the creative process – quite the same way." – Daniel H. Pink, author of A Whole New Mind“David Galenson has written the most inventive, surprising, and illuminating book on modern art to appear in my lifetime. I can think of no other book on modern art that remotely resembles Conceptual Revolutions in Twentieth-Century Art. Yet it is a surprising book because Galenson draws much of his evidence from what artists and art historians have been saying about modern art for more than a century. What Galenson has done is to take often over-familiar material and to reshape it by asking simple questions about artists’ behavior and then systematically setting out to explain them. Most importantly, I know of no artist, and certainly no art historian, who has seen so clearly the connection between the variety and pace of 20th-century artistic innovations and the increasing autonomy granted to artists by a richly competitive market. After introductory chapters on innovation and artistic importance, Conceptual Revolutions describes with unsurpassed clarity artistic behaviors new to recent art. Each chapter can be read independently of the others, but taken together readers will find clearly explained much of what often seems mysterious not only to the layperson but even to the art professional. Conceptual Revolutions offers new explanations for many familiar phenomena in modern art and challenges many received ideas held by scholars of 20th-century art, all presented in a prose style that is accessible to any intelligent reader. Conceptual Revolutions should change any open-minded reader’s basic perceptions about art today.” – Robert Jensen, Department of Art, University of Kentucky“A fascinating and highly readable explanation of why the art of the 20th century changed so dramatically from that which came earlier. David Galenson goes further in using innovative methods of analysis to change our concept of modern art than anyone I know. Entertaining and informative.” – Don Thompson, author of The $12 Million Stuffed Shark: The Curious Economics of Contemporary ArtTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1.
