Making Home in Havana
Havana is a city that rarely fails to captivate. But much of the unique beauty and culture of this historic city is rapidly disappearing. As Cuban society finds itself at a crossroads, Havana is more than ever a city on the edge, for although frozen in time as a consequence of Fidel Castro's revolution, it has certainly not been well preserved. Time, climate, and neglect have eroded a rare architectural legacy, making the need to document this heritage even more pressing than ever before. Making Home in Havana is an elegant book of photographs and testimonies, recording, questioning, and evoking the meaning of place -- in particular, the meaning of home. The combination of fine photography a...

La photographie malgré l'image
L'auteur propose ici un modèle sémiotique de compréhension du signe photographique appelé « contexture photographique ». Dans un premier temps, l'auteur offre une mise en situation de la problématique axée sur les notions de transparence et d'opacité du signe. Deuxièmement, il présente un parcours historique de l'état de la question photographique s'appuyant sur ces notions paradigmatiques résumées, à la suite de François Récanati, par la formule « transparence-cum-opacité ». Le tout est suivi d'une analyse d'une photographie d'Alexandre Rodchenko, Le Sauteur à la perche (1936), en se basant notamment sur quelques concepts théoriques issus des sciences cognitives qui pr...

The Sweet Sixteen
In 1904, sixteen women travelled together by train to cover the St Louis World's Fair. The Sweet Sixteen traces the fateful ten-day trip that resulted in the formation of a professional club for the advancement of Canadian newspaper women. Drawing upon letters, journals, interviews, and most significantly, newspaper stories written by the women themselves, Linda Kay narrates the journey to St Louis with evocative detail. Delving into the group dynamics and individual experiences of these women, Kay explores the cultural divide between the Anglophone and Francophone members of the group and provides compelling biographical sketches of each woman's life and work. The Sweet Sixteen documents the struggles of a group of tenacious and talented women who, in 1904, did not have the right to vote, were not regarded as persons under the law, and were credentialed as journalists at a time when marriage and motherhood were considered a woman's one true calling. Their legacy -the Canadian Women's Press Club - is a testament to their daring.
