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 c...

Spratling Silver

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.

Susannah Shaw provides the first truly practical introduction to the craft skills of model animation. This is a vital book in the development of model animation which, following the success of Aardman's first full-length film 'Chicken Run',is now at the forefront of modern animation. Illustrated in full colour throughout you are shown step by step how to create successful model animation. Starting with some basic exercises, readers will learn about developing a story, making models, creating sets and props, the mechanics of movement, filming, post production and how to set about finding that elusive first job in a modern studio.

Deleuze and Contemporary Art

  • Categories: Art

What is the importance of deconstruction, and the writing of Jacques Derrida in particular, for literary criticism today? Derek Attridge argues that the challenge of Derrida's work for our understanding of literature and its value has still not been fully met, and in this book, which traces a close engagement with Derrida's writing over two decades and reflects an interest in that work going back a further two decades, shows how that work can illuminate a variety of topics. Chapters include an overview of deconstruction as a critical practice today, discussions of the secret, postcolonialism, ethics, literary criticism, jargon, fiction, and photography, and responses to the theoretical writi...
