Learning from Madness
Throughout the history of European modernism, philosophers and artists have been fascinated by madness. Something different happened in Brazil, however, with the “art of the insane” that flourished within the modernist movements there. From the 1920s to the 1960s, the direction and creation of art by the mentally ill was actively encouraged by prominent figures in both medicine and art criticism, which led to a much wider appreciation among the curators of major institutions of modern art in Brazil, where pieces are included in important exhibitions and collections. Kaira M. Cabañas shows that at the center of this advocacy stood such significant proponents as psychiatrists Osório Cés...
Weathering
Weathering is atmospheric, geological, temporal, transformative. It implies exposure to the elements and processes of wearing down, disintegration, or accrued patina. Weathering can also denote the ways in which subjects and objects resist and pass through storms and adversity. This volume contemplates weathering across many fields and disciplines; its contributions examine various surfaces, environments, scales, temporalities, and vulnerabilities. What does it mean to weather or withstand? Who or what is able to pass through safely? What is lost or gained in the process?
A poética de Arthur Bispo do Rosário
O livro nos fornece as senhas que possibilitarão algumas entradas no cifrado mundo de Arthur Bispo do Rosário, povoado de figurações e de uma estética labiríntica que reafirma a especificidade dialógica da própria vida. Este livro reacende a tensão entre singular e plural, no estranhamento, na colagem, no deslocamento de sentidos. O autor orquestra com maestria esta música para os olhos, articula a redescoberta do mundo de Arthur Bispo do Rosário e proporciona ao leitor um embarque para o infinito
Arthur Bispo do Rosário
Este livro apresenta o trabalho de Arthur Bispo do Rosário, que aproximava-se de movimentos como o Dadaísmo, o Surrealismo, a Arte Contemporânea, a Arte Povera e a Arte Conceitual, e sua obra caracterizava-se pelo colecionismo, catalogação e ordenação compulsivos dos objetos mais variados. Estes eram, muitas vezes, revestidos com linhas de costura azuis obtidas de seu próprio uniforme de interno da Colônia Juliano Moreira (hospital psiquiátrico). Edição bilíngüe - Português e Inglês.
Culture Industry Today
The concept of culture industry leads a double life. On the one hand, it appears as transparent, being used widely and freely in reference to a branch of business; on the other, it is a notion belonging to a critical tradition that wants to preserve the tension resulting from the juxtaposition of these two words. Culture Industry Today is a contribution to the latter trend, which takes into account the current prevalence of the former. By offering interpretations of the term in relation to philosophy, media, television, the Third World, the psyche and the culture of consumption, the book aims at showing the continued relevance of an expression whose muteness is the corroboration of its darkest content.
