Una estética neobarroca sobre Judas es un análisis sobre el conocido cuento borgeano Tres versiones de Judas, a través de un planteo que aborda el modo de funcionamiento de las operaciones neobarrocas y los efectos de sentido que se producen en el libre recorrido de los múltiples yoes que aparecen frente al lector. Este recurso abre un canal a discursos entramados y habilita el ingreso de diferentes voces que propician un diálogo donde se encuentran los textos que cuestionan la totalidad estructurada como verdad. Una lectura de estas características implica dar juego a la búsqueda de sentidos en la multiplicidad, operación sensible al neobarroco, con el objeto de captar el dinamismo ...
El texto propone un recorrido analítico sobre un aspecto destacado de La Bucanera de Alejandra Pizarnik. A partir de un estudio poco investigado, inscripto dentro de las propuestas del neobarroco sarduniano, planteamos una indagación sobre los límites y fronteras de la palabra, de la ruptura de la lógica de la causalidad, de los usos de la parodia y de otros efectos asociados a la carnavalización, en tanto operaciones discursivas que Pizarnik despliega a través de un discurso que se concretiza en un juego de estructuras múltiples. Así, no hay un hilo reconocible en el que se pueda leer una historia, sino sujetos diferentes y paradójicos que se pierden en un relato inconexo, de quieb...
Oskar Schlemmer (1888 - 1943) was one of the most versatile all - rounders of the last century and as unusual as a painter as he was as a sculptor, draughtsman, graphic artist, stage designer, wall designer, creator of epochal dance projects and author. His vision was the "n ew" man living in functional architecture, thinking clearly and acting clearly in the modern age which would never again sink into the chaos of war. The catalogue accompanying the first comprehensive Schlemmer retrospective for almost forty years presents over 250 high - quality works, in particular the seven original costumes of the Triadisches Ballett (Triadic Ballet) together with rare documents of the time. The connection between the all - encompassing attempts at reform of the Bauhaus are discussed as well as Schlemmer's vain attempts to reconcile his "unpolitical" art with the Nazi dictatorship's ideas of state - controlled art. The focus will be directed towards Schlemmer's lofty ethical demands, which always regarded man, typified as a "Kunstfigur" (artist ic figure) as the "measure of all things".
Few creative movements have been more influential than the Bauhaus, under the leadership of Walter Gropius. The art of the theater commanded special attention. The text in this volume is a loose collection of essays by Oskar Schlemmer, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, and Farkas Molnár (who in an illustrated essay shares his vision of a total theatre space), with an introduction by Bauhaus leader Walter Gropius. Originally published in German in 1924, Die Bühne im Bauhaus was translated by A. S. Wensinger and published by Wesleyan in 1961. It was prepared with the full cooperation of Walter Gropius and his introduction was written specially for this edition. From Bauhaus experiments there emerged a new...
Chicago River Bridges presents the untold history and development of Chicago's iconic bridges, from the first wood footbridge built by a tavern owner in 1832 to the fantastic marvels of steel, concrete, and machinery of today. It is the story of Chicago as seen through its bridges, for it has been the bridges that proved critical in connecting and reconnecting the people, industry, and neighborhoods of a city that is constantly remaking itself. In this book, author Patrick T. McBriarty shows how generations of Chicagoans built (and rebuilt) the thriving city trisected by the Chicago River and linked by its many crossings. The first comprehensive guidebook of these remarkable features of Chic...

This series explores architecture; furniture; and interior, graphic, and industrial design with the intention of reflecting the wealth and diversity found in the extensive panorama of contemporary design. Featured designers are chosen on the basis of their originality and their accomplishments. Each book starts with an introductory essay by a well-known critic or designer. The designers themselves stylize the presentation and decide what material will be included -- therefore presenting not only a reference text, but also exhibiting another aspect of the designer's creative vision.
How are the rise of design and neoliberalism connected? How does design change the way we operate as economic beings? What is the economic significance of design? Historically, design has been promoted for its for its capacity to add value to products and services. In contemporary capitalism, however, it assumes a more central and more complex role. Design today is both influenced by, and actively shapes, our economic systems. This ground-breaking book shines a spotlight on how design has become embedded in political economies. It reveals the multiple ways in which design has emerged as a vital feature of neoliberal economic systems, from urban strategies to commercial processes to governmen...
