Sebastiao Salgado. Amazonia - Sebastiao Salgado - Bog - Taschen GmbH - Plusbog.dk

Sebastião Salgado traveled the Brazilian Amazon and photographed the unparalleled beauty of this extraordinary region for six years: the forest, the rivers, the mountains, the people who live there—an irreplaceable treasure of humanity . In the book’s foreword Salgado writes: “For me, it is the last frontier, a mysterious universe of its own, where the immense power of nature can be felt as nowhere else on earth. Here is a forest stretching to infinity that contains one-tenth of all living plant and animal species, the world’s largest single natural laboratory.” Salgado visited a dozen indigenous tribes that exist in small communities scattered across the largest tropical rainforest in the world. He documented the daily life of the Yanomami, the Asháninka, the Yawanawá, the Suruwahá, the Zo’é, the Kuikuro, the Waurá, the Kamayurá, the Korubo, the Marubo, the Awá, and the Macuxi—their warm family bonds , their hunting and fishing, the manner in which they prepare and share meals, their marvelous talent for painting their faces and bodies, the significance of their shamans, and their dances and rituals. Sebastião Salgado has dedicated this book to the indigenous peoples of Brazil’s Amazon region: “My wish, with all my heart, with all my energy, with all the passion I possess, is that in 50 years’ time this book will not resemble a record of a lost world. Amazônia must live on.” INSTITUTO TERRA Founded in 1998 at Aimorés in the state of Minas Gerais, Instituto Terra is the culmination of Lélia Wanick Salgado and Sebastião Salgado’s lifelong activism and work as cultural documentarians. Through a scientific program of planting and raising saplings, the organization has performed a miraculous reforestation of the once infertile region and furthered the Salgados’ mission of reversing the damage done to our planet. TASCHEN is proud to reach carbon zero status through our continued partnership. Also available in a Collector''s Edition and four Art Editions, each with a signed silver gelatin print, all with a book stand designed by Renzo Piano.

Sebastiao Salgado. Africa - Mia Couto - Bog - Taschen GmbH - Plusbog.dk

Sebastiao Salgado. Africa - Mia Couto - Bog - Taschen GmbH - Plusbog.dk

Sebastião Salgado is one the most respected photojournalists working today, his reputation forged by decades of dedication and powerful black-and-white images of dispossessed and distressed people, taken in places where most wouldn’t dare to go. Although he has photographed throughout South America and around the globe, his work most heavily concentrates on Africa, where he has shot more than 40 reportage works over a period of 30 years . From the Dinka tribes in Sudan and the Himba in Namibia to gorillas and volcanoes in the lakes region to displaced peoples throughout the continent, Salgado shows us all facets of African life today. Whether he’s documenting refugees or vast landscapes, Salgado knows exactly how to grab the essence of a moment so that when one sees his images one is involuntarily drawn into them. His images artfully teach us the disastrous effects of war, poverty, disease, and hostile climatic conditions. This book brings together Salgado’s photos of Africa in three parts. The first concentrates on the southern part of the continent (Mozambique, Malawi, Angola, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Namibia), the second on the Great Lakes region (Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya), and the third on the Sub-Saharan region (Burkina Faso, Mali, Sudan, Somalia, Chad, Mauritania, Senegal, Ethiopia). Texts are provided by renowned Mozambique novelist Mia Couto, who describes how today’s Africa reflects the effects of colonization as well as the consequences of economic, social, and environmental crises. This stunning book is not only a sweeping document of Africa but an homage to the continent’s history, people, and natural phenomena.

A Different Light - Parvati Nair - Bog - Duke University Press - Plusbog.dk

A Different Light - Parvati Nair - Bog - Duke University Press - Plusbog.dk

A Different Light is the first in-depth study of the work of Sebastião Salgado, widely considered the greatest documentary photographer of our time. For more than three decades, Salgado has produced thematic photo-essays depicting the massive human displacement brought about by industrialization and conflict. These projects usually take years to complete and include pictures from dozens of countries. Parvati Nair offers detailed analyses of Salgado’s best-known photo-essays, including Workers (1993) and Migrations (2000), as well as Genesis , which he began in 2004. With Genesis , Salgado has turned his lens from human turmoil to those parts of the planet not yet ravaged by modernity. Interpreting the photographer’s oeuvre, Nair engages broad questions about aesthetics, history, ethics, and politics in documentary photography. At the same time, she draws on conversations with Salgado and his wife and partner, Lélia Wanick Salgado, to explain the significance of the photographer’s life history, including his roots in Brazil and his training as an economist; his perspectives; and his artistic method. Underpinning all of Salgado’s major projects is a concern with displacement, exploitation, and destruction—of people, communities, and land. Salgado’s images exalt reality, compelling viewers to look and, according to Nair, to envision the world otherwise.

Architectural Epidemiology - Carlos Castillo Salgado - Bog - Johns Hopkins University Press - Plusbog.dk

Architectural Epidemiology - Carlos Castillo Salgado - Bog - Johns Hopkins University Press - Plusbog.dk

How to create healthier, sustainable, and resilient communities using place-based design strategies. In a world where real estate development often overlooks the critical link between our built environment and public health, architectural epidemiology has emerged as a groundbreaking field that reimagines how to design, build, and inhabit our spaces. Adele Houghton and Carlos Castillo-Salgado bridge the gap between two disparate fields to propose a new, transdisciplinary approach aimed at fostering community and planetary health. Architectural Epidemiology leverages building design, renovation, and operations to improve health outcomes among building occupants and in the surrounding community. Drawing from both environmental and applied social epidemiology, this novel approach deploys a problem-solving methodology to identify the evidence-based strategies in building design and operations that could lead to positive or negative health outcomes by reducing exposure to environmental hazards and promoting healthy behaviors. The authors illustrate how thoughtful, place-based design can mitigate the adverse effects of climate change, chronic diseases, and other public health challenges. Real-world examples from diverse settings demonstrate the practical application of architectural epidemiology and its impacts on community and planetary health. Practical tools and infographics translate complex scientific data into actionable design strategies, helping professionals from various disciplines collaborate effectively. The principles and applications of architectural epidemiology can drive meaningful action on climate change, sustainable development, and environmental justice while improving public health outcomes and transforming our built environment into a healthier, more equitable world.

Witness Literature - Professor Minoli Salgado - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Witness Literature - Professor Minoli Salgado - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

This is the first critical monograph to explore and delineate the emergent field of witness literature across fiction, nonfiction, memoir, journalism and survivor testimony from the Global South. Witness Literature examines writing from three sites of exceptional violence and fluid justice: the Cambodian Genocide, the Sri Lankan civil war and the borderscapes of honour-based violence in Jordan, Pakistan, Turkey/Türkiye, the UK and beyond. Drawing on the intersecting fields of literary analysis, biopolitics, testimony studies, trauma theory and postcolonial studies, this book examines the place of the fictive in writings of traumatic events; takes up the call to expand Western understanding of the normatively human by focusing on work that bears witness from sites of compromised belonging; and shows how witness literature by migrant subjects marks an important intervention in Western readings of trauma.Ambitious in cultural and conceptual reach, Witness Literature invokes a wide range of texts from within the nations studied and from diasporic writers. These include: eyewitness accounts and survivor stories gathered in Children of Cambodia''s Killing Fields; memoirs and autobiographies like François Bizot’s The Gate, Loung Ung''s First They Killed My Father and Ajith Boyagoda''s re-told memoir, A Long Watch; Sanam Maher’s biography of the internet star Qandeel Baloch that exposes the truth technologies of the media; pseudonymous work that reconfigures the authorising identity of the witness; novels by diasporic writers such as Michael Ondaatje, Vaddey Ratner, Madeleine Thien and Anuk Arudpragasam ; the posthumously published editorial of an assassinated journalist who anticipated his death ; fabricated testimony and fictive reconstructions of real events including Shehan Karunatilaka’s phantasmagoric novel, The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida ; and such works as Elif Shafak''s Honour , Salman Rushdie''s Shame and Shalimar the Clown. Offering a compelling and surprising analysis of the representation of life under the threat, Minoli Salgado exposes how the mixed cultural allegiances of the border witness mark a double agency that challenges multiple orthodoxies and shows how testimonial work from the Global South maps new moral communities by opening up alternative ways of reading truth, subjectivity, healing and justice.

Wearable Prints, 1760-1860 - Susan W. Greene - Bog - Kent State University Press - Plusbog.dk

Wearable prints are not only a decorative art form but also the product of a range of complex industrial processes and an economically important commodity. But when did textile printing originate, and how can we identify the fabrics, inks, dyes, and printing processes used on surviving historical examples?In Wearable Prints, 1760-1860, author Susan Greene surveys the history of wearable printed fabrics, which reaches back into the earliest days of the discovery of the delights of selectively patterned cloth and is firmly interwoven with the Industrial Revolution. The bulk of the book is devoted to the process of printing and dyeing. Greene brings together evidence from period publications and manuscripts, extant period garments and quilts, and scholarship on eighteenth- and nineteenth-century chemistry and technology. Making the text come alive, Greene includes some 1600 full-color images, including a plentiful array of textile samples. Wearable Prints, 1760-1860 is a convenient encyclopedic guide, written in plain language accessible to even the most casual reader. Historians, students, costumers, quilters, designers, curators, and collectors will find it an essential resource.

The Business of Satirical Prints in Late-Georgian England - James Baker - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

The Business of Satirical Prints in Late-Georgian England - James Baker - Bog - Springer International Publishing AG - Plusbog.dk

This book explores English single sheet satirical prints published from 1780-1820, the people who made those prints, and the businesses that sold them. It examines how these objects were made, how they were sold, and how both the complexity of the production process and the necessity to sell shaped and constrained the satiric content these objects contained. It argues that production, sale, and environment are crucial to understanding late-Georgian satirical prints. A majority of these prints were, after all, published in London and were therefore woven into the commercial culture of the Great Wen. Because of this city and its culture, the activities of the many individuals involved in transforming a single satirical design into a saleable and commercially viable object were underpinned by a nexus of making, selling, and consumption. Neglecting any one part of this nexus does a disservice both to the late-Georgian satirical print, these most beloved objects of British art, and to the story of their late-Georgian apotheosis – a story that James Baker develops not through the designs these objects contained, but rather through those objects and the designs they contained in the making.

Revolution & Counter-Revolution in European Prints from 1789 to 1889 - Wolfgang Cillessen - Bog - Georg Olms Verlag AG - Plusbog.dk

Revolution & Counter-Revolution in European Prints from 1789 to 1889 - Wolfgang Cillessen - Bog - Georg Olms Verlag AG - Plusbog.dk

This volume of essays, international in scope, illuminates a vast graphic output situated culturally between "high art" and "popular imagery" that has as yet been little explored either by art historians or general historians. The essays focus in a systematic manner on the rich iconography of the "Century of Revolution" (c.1770-1871) and range over political allegory, portraiture, fashion prints, maps, book illustration and caricature, presenting a panorama of the graphic arts in this age of the "culte des images" (Baudelaire). The volume investigates the conditions of their production, the manner of their consumption, their evocative power and their diffusion across Europe. In this way it makes a ground-breaking contribution to the development of historical and interdisciplinary study of the image.

The Internet and Democracy Building in Lusophone African Countries - Susana Salgado - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Internet and Democracy Building in Lusophone African Countries - Susana Salgado - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

This timely book fills an important gap in the literature on the influence of the Internet and new media in Portuguese speaking African countries. Based on extensive field work throughout the region the author examines the influence of the Internet in the transition to democracy in Africa, and asks whether there are new possibilities for popular activism to emerge from evolving communication environments and media systems. The book analyses the different forms of democracy, the concept of development, and addresses the debate about the relationship between democracy and development and explores the influence of the media in the democratization process, the promises that digital media bring to this process and to development and the implications of the African digital divide. In certain countries in this region democracy and independent news media are in their infancy but are starting to take hold, giving an excellent opportunity to observe the dynamics of civil society and the influence of increased freedom, new voting powers and new media in particular. The book offers important insights into the roles and functions that the media in general, and the Internet in particular, can perform in the creation of a more democratic society, as well as in empowering and educating citizens in democratic values.

Friars, Nobles and Burghers – Sermons, Images and Prints - - Bog - Central European University Press - Plusbog.dk

Friars, Nobles and Burghers – Sermons, Images and Prints - - Bog - Central European University Press - Plusbog.dk

The essays in this volume reflect the broader interpretation of culture as a system of shared meanings, values, attitudes and symbolic forms in any sphere of human life. Although thematically diverse, all these studies adhere to the concept of what is sometimes termed the new cultural history or socio-cultural history. The work opens with a cluster of methodological and historiographical reflections. Topics covered by the thematic sections include confessional and religious life in early modern Europe, symbolism and representation, strife and accommodation among different denominations compelled to live in a common space, order and hierarchy, cracks in the machinery of authority and the threat of disintegration as well as the history of alphabetization, literacy and reading and writing practices. This book pays tribute to István György Tóth (1956–2005), Head of the Department of Early-Modern History at the Institute of History of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, and Professor of History at Central European University (both in Budapest), until his premature death in 2005.
