Imaginario social desde las expresiones gráficas en ambientes público-privados del centro de Bogotá
Imaginario social desde las expresiones gráficas en ambientes público-privados del centro de Bogotá, es una serie de especulaciones ornamentales de tres lugares públicos y privados del centro de Bogotá, Colombia. Es un documento mediado por la historia y las relaciones estéticas que se presentan en el Café Pasaje, la Cervecería Luna Park y el bar de Doña Ceci; lugares que por décadas se han establecido como espacios culturales, sociales e intelectuales de la ciudad.
La gráfica urbana entre lo público y lo privado
Los autores toman los conceptos “público” y “privado” como puntos de anclaje para comprender las dinámicas que se gestan y dan significado a la imagen como institución comunicativa. Inician su recorrido hablando sobre la posición del arte urbano en el entorno político-social; asimismo, cómo la expresión gráfica se relaciona con un modelo popular de comunicación en los grupos poblacionales “menos favorecidos”. Además, cómo se convierten en elementos de contestación, denuncias políticas, persuasión, crítica social y demarcación del territorio. Lo anterior permite pensar el arte como un discurso estético y político.
Design for Society
Although design has become eminently newsworthy among the general public in our society, there is very little understanding to be found of the values and implications that underlie it. Design generates much heat but little light: we live in a world that has much design consciousness, but little design awareness. Nigel Whiteley analyses design's role and status today, and discusses what our obsession with it tells us about our own culture. Design for Society is not an anti-design book; rather, it is an anti-consumerist-design book, in that it reveals what most people would agree are the socially and ecologically unsound values and unsatisfactory implications on which the system of consumerist design is constructed. In so doing, it prepares the ground for a more responsible and just type of design.
The Necessity of Art
"Art is necessary in order that man should be able to recognize and change the world. But art is also necessary by virtue of the magic inherent in it."-Ernst Fischer Reissued with an introduction by John Berger, The Necessity of Art is a beautifully written meditation on art's importance in viewing the world in which we live. In this wide-ranging and erudite exploration of literary and fine art, Fischer looks at the relationship between the creative imagination and social reality, arguing that truthful art must both reflect existence in all its flaws and imperfections, and help show how change and improvement might be brought about. With his emphasis on the individual's need to engage with society, his rejection of rampant consumerism and hypertechnology, and his indomitable optimism, this radical, affirmative and humane vision of the artistic endeavor remains as timely today as when it was first published sixty years ago.
Accompanied Selfrehabilitation
"Every once in a great while, there arises a young psychiatrist with entirely new rehabilitation ideas for helping patients retrieve their lives from psychosis. Usually such ideas initially elicit significant negative reactions from peers, but a handful of sturdy physicians have continued on to show the world that something different is possible—including George Brooks of the United States, E. E. Antinnen of Finland, and Franco Basaglia of Italy. Now we have to add to this list of illustrious doctors the name of Alberto Fergusson of Colombia”. (Extract of the "Foreword”)"
A Philosophy of Mass Art
We live in a world dominated by mass art. Movies, TV, pulp literature, comics, rock music--both broadcast and recorded--surround us everywhere in the industrialized world and beyond. However, despite the fact that for the majority mass art supplies the primary source of aesthetic experience,the area has been neglected entirely by analytic philosophers of art. In The Philosophy of Mass Art, Noel Carroll, a leading figures in the field of aesthetic philosophy, attempts to address that lacuna. He shows why philosophers have previously resisted and/or misunderstood mass art and he developsframeworks for understanding the relation of mass art to the emotions, morality, and ideology discussing the accounts of such theorists in the field as Collingwood, Adorno, Benajmin, McCluhan, and Fiske. Mixing conceptual analysis and many vivid examples, the author proposes the first significant attempt at a philosophy of mass art in the analytical tradition concluding there are strong grounds for approaching mass art in the same fashion as high art.

Adventure, Mystery, and Romance
In this first general theory for the analysis of popular literary formulas, John G. Cawelti reveals the artistry that underlies the best in formulaic literature. Cawelti discusses such seemingly diverse works as Mario Puzo's The Godfather, Dorothy Sayers's The Nine Tailors, and Owen Wister's The Virginian in the light of his hypotheses about the cultural function of formula literature. He describes the most important artistic characteristics of popular formula stories and the differences between this literature and that commonly labeled "high" or "serious" literature. He also defines the archetypal patterns of adventure, mystery, romance, melodrama, and fantasy, and offers a tentative account of their basis in human psychology.
