Arte, Educación, Interculturalidad: Reflexiones desde la práctica artística y docente

Este libro recoge muchas de las reflexiones y discusiones que se plantearon en el marco del "II Encuentro de Arte, Educación, Interculturalidad: Reflexiones desde la práctica artística y docente", que se llevó a cabo en octubre de 2018. Ha tomado tiempo la publicación de estas reflexiones, por varios motivos, además de las complicaciones burocráticas de la universidad en donde trabajo, los requerimientos de lectura y arbitraje del campo académico y una serie de imprevistos personales que desbordan la vida académica y que precisaban de mi tiempo y atención. Es importante recalcar esto último porque en gran parte de los textos aquí presentados se aborda lo humano como componente primordial de la construcción del conocimiento y de los procesos de pensamiento en el arte y la educación, sobre las exigencias de una academia cada vez más rigurosa, pero que muchas veces olvida que uno de los principales objetivos de la educación, es la emancipación del pensamiento y la dignidad humana.

In the Shadow of Catastrophe

These essays by eminent European intellectual and cultural historian Anson Rabinbach address the writings of key figures in twentieth-century German philosophy. Rabinbach explores their ideas in relation to the two world wars and the horrors facing Europe at that time. Analyzing the work of Benjamin and Bloch, he suggests their indebtedness to the traditions of Jewish messianism. In a discussion of Hugo Ball's little-known Critique of the German Intelligentsia, Rabinbach reveals the curious intellectual career of the Dadaist and antiwar activist turned-nationalist and anti-Semite. His examination of Heidegger's "Letter on Humanism" and Jaspers's The Question of German Guilt illuminates the complex and often obscure political referents of these texts. Turning to Horkheimer and Adorno's Dialectic of Enlightenment, Rabinbach offers an arresting new interpretation of this central text of the critical theory of the Frankfurt School. Subtly and persuasively argued, his book will become an indispensable reference point for all concerned with twentieth-century German history and thought.

Spratling Silver

  • Categories: Art

Over 70 brilliant artworks by the legendary William Spratling—adventurer, celebrity, and world-renowned silver artisan—are presented in this stunning centennial edition of the acclaimed Spratling Silver. An eagle's profile carved gracefully into the rosewood handle of a 1930s pitcher; the subtle essence of a sea animal in a classic brooch: the exquisite detail and splendor of such unique creations are showcased here in all their lustrous glory. Included are commentaries from Spratling's friends and contemporaries (the likes of Georgia O'Keeffe, who was photographed wearing one of his pins on her austere black dress), which paint an intimate portrait of the man instrumental in reviving Mexico's silver industry in the late 1920s. With 26 additional photographs, an expanded text, and a new hallmarks section with information for collectors, Spratling Silver is the only comprehensive volume to portray the full scope and beauty of William Spratling's treasures.
