This fully illustrated, edited volume brings together fresh insights into the changing urban space of Barcelona from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present day. The volume will contribute to the excavation of the avantgarde in Barcelona, as well as its legacy in the post-war period, although its primary focus will be on the relationship between environment, identity and performance as explored by countercultural artists and communities from the 1960s to the present day.
Què és el que converteix l’art clàssic en un llenguatge que transcendeix fronteres? Com ha aconseguit mantenir la seva legitimitat al llarg de la història? Quin ha estat el seu poder de seducció? Per què ha arribat a ser una constant en la nostra societat? En quina mesura les arts plàstiques hi han dialogat històricament? Des de l’Antiguitat, el clàssic ha estat un referent en els diversos àmbits de la cultura, sovint debatut, a vegades contestat. Tanmateix, mai no ha desaparegut i ha arribat fins a l’actualitat mantenint tota la seva força. Aquest llibre ofereix una lectura del clàssic en clau contemporània, bo i explicant el perquè de la seva vigència en el camp de la cultura i les arts plàstiques del Modernisme ençà.
En esta publicación se recogen los trabajos presentados en el XXI Congreso Nacional de Historia del Arte (CEHA), celebrado en el Palacio de la Magdalena de Santander entre los días 20 al 23 de septiembre de 2016. El eje vertebrador de dicho congreso giró en torno a una temática a la vez monográfica y transversal: LA FORMACIÓN ARTÍSTICA. Se aborda este objetivo desde la doble perspectiva que plantean los dos protagonistas principales del diálogo artístico (el creador y el espectador), pasando por el historiador del arte como mediador entre ambos. Empleando este hilo conductor, se traza el rico panorama investigador nacional, tratando de reflejar las principales orientaciones metodológicas de la disciplina, así como las líneas de trabajo más consolidadas y las emergentes. Las aportaciones en cada uno de los seis bloques (desde el gremio, la formación académica o la universitaria, la educación de la mirada, la crisis de la Historia del Arte, las fuentes, la historiografía y la literatura artística y, por último, el dedicado a proyectos, tesis y grupos de I+D+i) presentan una visión actualizada de algunas de las tendencias de la investigación en Historia del Arte.
Les salons ont longtemps représenté les principaux moyens d’exposer l’art vivant. Cet ouvrage témoigne de la diversité inattendue de l’art français dans ces manifestations emblématiques, et la manière dont les sociétés d’artistes ont survécu à la Grande Guerre puis se sont adaptées à la société de l’entre-deux-guerres, entre années de deuil et années folles. Les artistes modernes (Léger, Picabia, Matisse…) y côtoient des artistes plus traditionnels (Landowski, Maurice Denis…) au profit d’un même dessein : rénover la tradition française et préparer l’art de l’après-guerre.
This updated second edition of Acute Ischemic Stroke: Imaging and Intervention provides a comprehensive account of the state of the art in the diagnosis and treatment of acute ischemic stroke. The basic format of the first edition has been retained, with sections on fundamentals such as pathophysiology and causes, imaging techniques and interventions. However, each chapter has been revised to reflect the important recent progress in advanced neuroimaging and the use of interventional tools. In addition, a new chapter is included on the classification instruments for ischemic stroke and their use in predicting outcomes and therapeutic triage. All of the authors are internationally recognized experts and members of the interdisciplinary stroke team at the Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. The text is supported by numerous informative illustrations, and ease of reference is ensured through the inclusion of suitable tables. This book will serve as a unique source of up-to-date information for neurologists, emergency physicians, radiologists and other health care providers who care for the patient with acute ischemic stroke.
Many reports over the last few years have analysed the potential use of games, videogames, 3D environments and virtual reality for educational purposes. Numerous emerging technological devices have also appeared that will play important roles in the development of teaching and learning processes. In the context of these developments, learning rather than teaching becomes the main axis in the organisation of the educational process. This process has now gone beyond the analogue world and face-toface education to enter the digital world, where new learning environments are being produced with ever greater doses of realism. Teaching and Learning in Digital Worlds examines the teaching and learning process in 3D virtual environments from both the theoretical and practical points of view.
