Traditional Craftsmanship In Japan - The Art Of Imperfection

de Hermann Candahashi

4,99€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Dear readers, I am pleased to present to you, after a longer time of research and preparation, my new book on Japanese craftsmanship. Like all the creations within it, this book adheres to the principle of Wabi-Sabi and cannot illuminate all facets and characteristics of this vast realm of Japanese traditions. Nevertheless, it may be suitable to inspire you to further explore aspects of these fascinating art forms. If I succeed in this with you, I would have achieved my goal.An excerpt:"Japanese craftsmanship possesses the unique ability to blend artistry and functionality. It spans from the traditional tea ceremony to intricately crafted ceramics, from finely carved woodwork to breathtaking textiles. These traditions are passed down from generation to generation, serving as expressions not only of skill but also of deep cultural and religious significance. Imperfection in them is not seen as failure, as it might be in Western countries, but rather as a path to a rarely attained perfection.A key aspect of Japanese craftsmanship is the reverence for nature and simplicity. Many artisans draw inspiration from nature, whether it be the elegant line of a bonsai tree or the flowing movement of a koi fish. This connection to nature is reflected not only in the motifs but also in the materials used. Wood, bamboo, paper, and silk often form the foundation for these artistic creations.The transmission of craftsmanship occurs in specialized workshops, where masters of their craft pass on their skills to apprentices. These apprenticeships are characterized by dedication, discipline, and a profound respect for the craft. Apprentices not only learn the technical skills but also the philosophy behind each technique. It is this fusion of technique and spirituality that makes Japanese craftsmanship truly unique.One of the most fascinating examples of traditional craftsmanship in Japan is the art of Kintsugi, the repair of ceramics with a mixture of gold or silver lacquer. Instead of hiding the breakages, they are accentuated with precious metals, adding not only an aesthetic element but also conveying a philosophical message - the beauty of repair and the appreciation for the impermanent.In the upcoming chapters, we will delve into the various facets of Japanese craftsmanship, from the intricate Noh masks to the precise artistry of Samurai swords. Join us on a journey through centuries of tradition and innovation as we explore the legacy of Japanese craftsmanship..."

Theory For Theatre Studies: Emotion

de Peta Tait

19,07€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Theory for Theatre Studies: Emotion explores how emotion is communicated in drama, theatre, and contemporary performance and therefore in society. From Aristotle and Shakespeare to Stanislavski, Brecht and Caryl Churchill, theatre reveals and, informs but also warns about the emotions. The term ''emotion'' encompasses the emotions, emotional feelings, affect and mood, and the book explores how these concepts are embodied and experienced within theatrical practice and explained in theory. Since emotion is artistically staged, its composition and impact can be described and analysed in relation to interdisciplinary approaches. Readers are encouraged to consider how emotion is dramatically, aurally, and visually developed to create innovative performance. Case studies include: Medea, Twelfth Night, The Caucasian Chalk Circle, Ibsen''s A Doll''s House, and performances by Mabou Mines, Robert Lepage, Rimini Protokoll, Anna Deavere Smith, Socìetas Raffaello Sanzio, Marina Abramovic, and The Wooster Group. By way of these detailed case studies, readers will appreciate new methodologies and approaches for their own exploration of ''emotion'' as a performance component. Online resources to accompany this book are available at https://www.bloomsbury.com/theory-for-theatre-studies-emotion-9781350030848/.

On The History Of Stylistics

de Ahmed Hashim

~~6,74€~~ 6,07€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject Art - Visual arts general, stylistics, grade: 100, , language: English, abstract: The history of stylistics can be traced back to the era where the concentration was made on the oral expressions. Style, as we know today, has its origins back to the the ancient rhetoric which was called "lexis" by the Greeks and "elocutio" by the Romans. The ancient rhetoric was divided into five laws. The first law was made by generating and discovering textual material. This led to some arguments based on one of the Aristotelian proofs, logos, ethos, and pathos. The second law was made by the use of that material for ideal impact in any circumstances. This led to the constitution of the third law which stylized the textual material. Last but not least the forth and fifth laws were made by committing the material to memory and delivering it , if it was in the form of speech. The third law of rhetoric, which stylized the textual material, was based on two forms: the first form investigated the clarity, accuracy, and appropriateness of the language. The second form, on the other hand, investigated the figures of style in the language. So, these forms were either schemes, that distorted from the syntactic level of language, or tropes, which distorted from the semantic level. Style was also divided into three types, high, middle, and low. The high style was dedicated to literature and poetry. The low style was dedicated to more common performances of discourse communication. The middle style was a mixture of both styles and was dedicated to average situations.

Intersecting Threads - Art, Cloth And Intersectional Feminism

de Julia Skelly

~~101,36€~~ 91,22€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Examining the significance of cloth in the work of contemporary feminist artists, Intersecting Threads: Art, Cloth and Intersectional Feminism draws on Black feminist theories, queer theories, and anti-colonial theories such as opacity, as well as scholarship on the nonhuman turn in the humanities.In a world where intersectional feminist approaches are increasingly important, this book adds to the growing literature on contemporary feminist art, making a significant contribution to discussions on queer, feminist and anti-racist artists and their work. Through a close reading of both the art and writing of feminist artists including Faith Ringgold, Louise Bourgeois, Elisabeth Perrault, Tau Lewis, and Candice Lin, Julia Skelly shows how their work may be productively analysed through Black feminist scholar and activist Kimberl W. Crenshaw's theoretical framework of intersectional feminism. Writing as a Black feminist legal scholar, Crenshaw's framework is dedicated to illuminating the different kinds of violence that women of colour experience, but it has become an indispensable analytic tool for feminist art historians concerned not only with gender, but also with race, class, and sexuality. Illustrated with over thirty-five images, Intersecting Threads demonstrates the overlaps amongst the political concerns of 20th- and 21st-century feminist artists and reveals the power of textiles in the context of ongoing racism and misogyny.

Invisible Ink - Feminism And Identity In Contemporary Chinese Art

de Luise Guest

~~101,36€~~ 91,22€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 What does it mean to be a woman artist or a feminist artist in China today? Analyzing how Chinese women artists have reinvented traditional forms of ink and brush painting, Invisible Ink shows how the use of ink in their work becomes a tool of gender and art historical subversion in contemporary Chinese art.The book explores how the work of Bingyi, Ma Yanling, Tao Aimin, Xiao Lu and Xie Rong invoke contemporary manifestations of the traditional Chinese form of ink and brush painting to explore themes of the embodied, gendered experience of Chinese identity, including: motherhood and daughterhood; the exercise of state control over fertility in the implementation of the One Child Policy; and the experience of menopause in a society that prizes youth and beauty.Each chapter examines one artist, analysing carefully selected key works and drawing on interviews with the artists themselves. It positions the artists as intervening, not only in historically exclusive, elitist literati traditions, but also in contemporary art discourses in which their contributions have been similarly marginalised. It explores the ambivalent views of the artists towards (Western) feminism and positions their work as counter-hegemonic expressions of a specifically Chinese experience of patriarchy. Addressing an understudied aspect of contemporary Chinese art, this book powerfully illuminates the material culture of ink and brush painting through a transcultural, intersectional feminist lens, revealing the ways in which the form bridges Chinese history and the present day.

Legacy Of Neoplatonic Philosophy - From Ancient Aesthetics To 20th-Century Film

~~34,57€~~ 31,11€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Bringing together leading scholars from philosophy, architecture, history, classics, and art history, this volume asks: what are the key concepts in Neoplatonic aesthetics? And what impact has Neoplatonic philosophy had on the arts since the 3rd century CE? Organized into three parts, in part I four authors examine the theory behind Neoplatonic aesthetics, including in particular the philosophy of beauty, ornament, and the artistic imagination. Based on the thought of Plato, Neoplatonism incorporated influences from Aristotle, Stoicism, and a variety of other philosophical traditions to create a unique school of thought within the Western canon. The second part explores the influence of Neoplatonic thought on the painting, architecture, and music of classical, medieval, and Renaissance Europe. With chapters on Byzantine hymns, the birth of the Gothic, and Vasari's Saint Michael, the authors bring to life the Neoplatonic influence on European culture and thinking. Finally, part III uncovers the impact of Neoplatonism right up to the modern day through a range of 19th- and 20th-century artistic case studies, from Kandinsky and Malevich to literature, music and world cinema. Unique in its interdisciplinary breadth, historical coverage, and combination of theory and application, The Legacy of Neoplatonic Philosophy provides a fresh insight into the enduring influence of Neoplatonic thought on the arts of the Western world.
