Understanding and Teaching the Indirect Object in Spanish

Understanding and Teaching the Indirect Object in Spanish

Understanding and Teaching the Indirect Object in Spanish presents an easy-to-understand approach to all aspects of direct and indirect objects in Spanish. Distinguishing between direct and indirect objects can pose challenges for learners and is almost impossible to do using the tools that linguists have traditionally used. This book offers two simple all-encompassing inferences that allow learners to tackle this area of language by intuitively inferring the distinction as native speakers do between verber and verbed. This book will be of interest to teachers and learners of Spanish and other second languages as well as linguists interested in argument structure second language acquisition second language teaching or pedagogy and multilingualism.

Liliana Porter and the Art of Simulation

Liliana Porter and the Art of Simulation

Visually appealing conceptually startling and intellectually engaging-these phrases aptly describe the art of Liliana Porter. Florencia Bazzano-Nelson's study focuses on the principal theme in the Argentine-born artist's work since the 1970s: her playful but subversive dismantling of the limits that separate everyday reality from the world of illusion and simulacra. Over the years Porter's own evolving interest in perception lead the author to explore a series of interconnected and timely issues in her artistic production such as the representative function of art the structural links between art and language and the witty re-signification of the art-historical images and mass-produced kitsch figurines she has so often featured in her art. Strongly founded in critical theory Bazzano-Nelson's approach considers Porter's art as the site of conceptually exciting dialogues with Jorge Luis Borges René Magritte Michel Foucault and Jean Baudrillard. Her carefully crafted interdisciplinary analysis not only combines art-historical literary and theoretical perspectives but also addresses the artist's work in different media such as printmaking conceptual art photography and film. | Liliana Porter and the Art of Simulation

Performance Art and Politics in the African Diaspora Necropolitics and the Black Body

Performance Art and Politics in the African Diaspora Necropolitics and the Black Body

This book examines necropolitics and performance art with a particular focus on the black body and the African diaspora. In this book Myron M. Beasley situates artists as cultural workers and theorists who illuminate the political linkages between their own and others’ specific locales. The focus is an interrogation of the political systems that dictate and determine the value of lives (and decide which lives matter) through a lens of performance and art. Beasley highlights how the performances of rupture which are of artistic and historical significance reveal both strategies of survival and promises of possibility. Artists and curators examined include Jelili Atiku Giscard Bouchotte Nona Faustine Vanessa German Simone Leigh Nathalie Anguezomo Mba Bikoro Ebony G. Patterson and Dianne Smith. The volume is an ideal research and reference book for students and scholars of Contemporary Art African Studies and Performance Theory. | Performance Art and Politics in the African Diaspora Necropolitics and the Black Body

Art Markets in Europe 1400–1800

Art Markets in Europe 1400–1800

The reinvention of art-history during the 1980s has provided a serious challenge to the earlier formalist and connoisseurial approaches to the discipline in ways which can only help economic and social historians in the current drive to study past societies in terms of what they consumed produced perceived and imagined. This group of essays focuses on three main issues: the demand for art including the range of art objects purchased by various social groups; the conditions of artistic creativity and communication between different production centres and artistic millieux; and the emergence of art markets which served to link the first two phenomena. The work draws on new research by art historians and economic and social historians from Europe and the United States and covers the period from the late Middle Ages to the early nineteenth century. | Art Markets in Europe 1400–1800

Contemporary Art Systems and the Aesthetics of Dispersion

Contemporary Art Systems and the Aesthetics of Dispersion

Using five case studies of contemporary art this book uses ideas of systems and dispersion to understand identity and experience in late capitalism. This book considers five artists who exemplify contemporary art practice: Seth Price; Liam Gillick; Martin Creed; Hito Steyerl; and Theaster Gates. Given the diversity of materials used in art today once-traditional artistic mediums and practices have become obsolete in describing what artists do today. Francis Halsall argues that in the face of this obsolescence the ideas of system and dispersion become very useful in understanding contemporary art. That is practitioners now can be seen to be using whatever systems of distribution and display are available to them as their creative mediums. The two central arguments are first that any understanding of what art is will always be underwritten by a related view of what a human being is; and second that these both have a particular character in late capitalism or as is named here the Age of Dispersion. The book will be of interest to scholars and students working in art history contemporary art studio art and theories of systems and networks. | Contemporary Art Systems and the Aesthetics of Dispersion

Translation and Transgression in the Art of Shirin Neshat

Translation and Transgression in the Art of Shirin Neshat

Precisely 30 years after the debut of her provocative photo-portraits this book chronicles the early career of Iranian-American artist Shirin Neshat. In its first 20 years Neshat’s work weaved viewers into complex readings of women and power in Iran. Yet her images also drew criticisms of exoticizing Muslim women and later video installations were accused of lacking political assertion during stormy relations between the West and the Islamic world. Now broadly recognized as a social justice artist this volume chronicles Neshat’s evolution from photography to film from personal to political expression and expands existing scholarship to investigate underserved contexts for her work including the cinematic turn and emergent theories of globality in contemporary art. Neshat’s hyphenated identity was often attenuated by reductive and exoticizing discourses; therefore this volume draws attention to her transnational methodologies informed by strategies of appropriation performativity and embodiment while articulating Persian visual and literary traditions. Complicating simplistic ethnographies her disruption of neo-Orientalist paradigms and representations has led audiences to reconsider Islamophobic Islamism and gender repressions that are political psychological and above all cross-cultural. This book will be of interest to scholars working in art history photography cinema studies performance transnational and global studies women’s studies and Iranian studies. | Translation and Transgression in the Art of Shirin Neshat

Representing Emotions New Connections in the Histories of Art Music and Medicine

Representing Emotions New Connections in the Histories of Art Music and Medicine

Juxtaposing artistic and musical representations of the emotions with medical philosophical and scientific texts in Western culture between the Renaissance and the twentieth century the essays collected in this volume explore the ways in which emotions have been variously conceived configured represented and harnessed in relation to broader discourses of control excess and refinement. Since the essays explore the interstices between disciplines (e. g. music and medicine history of art and philosophy) and thereby disrupt established frameworks within the histories of art music and medicine traditional narrative accounts are challenged. Here larger historical forces come into perspective as these papers suggest how both artistic and scientific representations of the emotions have been put to use in political social and religious struggles at a variety of different levels. | Representing Emotions New Connections in the Histories of Art Music and Medicine

Image and Imagination in Byzantine Art

Image and Imagination in Byzantine Art

The twelve studies contained in this second collection by Henry Maguire are linked together by a common theme namely the relationship of Byzantine art to the imaginary. They show how art enabled the Byzantines not only to imagine the sacred events of the past but also to visualize the invisible present by manifesting the spiritual world that they could not see. The articles are grouped around the following five topics: the depiction of nature by the Byzantines before and after iconoclasm especially in portrayals of the earthly and the spiritual Paradise; the social functions and theological significance of classical artistic forms in Byzantine art after iconoclasm; the association between rhetoric and the visual arts in Byzantium especially in contrast to the role played by liturgical drama in western medieval art; the relationship of the visual arts to Byzantine concepts of justice and the law both human and divine; and portrayals of the two Byzantine courts the imperial court on earth and the imagined court in heaven. The papers cover a wide range of media including floor and wall mosaics paintings in manuscripts and churches ivory carvings coins and enamel work. | Image and Imagination in Byzantine Art

The Symbolist Roots of Modern Art

The Symbolist Roots of Modern Art

With the words ’A new manifestation of art was . expected necessary inevitable ’ Jean Moréas announced the advent of the Symbolist movement in 1886. When Symbolist artists began experimenting in order to invent new visual languages appropriate for representing modern life in all its complexity they set the stage for innovation in twentieth-century art. Rejecting what they perceived as the superficial descriptive quality of Impressionism Naturalism and Realism Symbolist artists delved beneath the surface to express feelings ideas scientific processes and universal truths. By privileging intangible concepts over perceived realities and by asserting their creative autonomy Symbolist artists broke with the past and paved the way for the heterogeneity and penchant for risk-taking that characterizes modern art. The essays collected here which consider artists from France to Russia and Finland to Greece argue persuasively that Symbolist approaches to content form and subject helped to shape twentieth-century Modernism. Well-known figures such as Kandinsky Khnopff Matisse and Munch are considered alongside lesser-known artists such as Fini Gyzis Koen and Vrubel in order to demonstrate that Symbolist art did not constitute an isolated moment of wild experimentation but rather an inspirational point of departure for twentieth-century developments. | The Symbolist Roots of Modern Art

Death Torture and the Broken Body in European Art 1300–1650

Death Torture and the Broken Body in European Art 1300–1650

Bodies mangled limbs broken skin flayed blood spilled: from paintings to prints to small sculptures the art of the late Middle Ages and early modern period gave rise to disturbing scenes of violence. Many of these torture scenes recall Christ’s Passion and its aftermath but the martyrdoms of saints stories of justice visited on the wicked and broadsheet reports of the atrocities of war provided fertile ground for scenes of the body’s desecration. Contributors to this volume interpret pain suffering and the desecration of the human form not simply as the passing fancies of a cadre of proto-sadists but also as serving larger social functions within European society. Taking advantage of the frameworks established by scholars such as Samuel Edgerton Mitchell Merback and Elaine Scarry (to name but a few) Death Torture and the Broken Body in European Art 1300-1650 provides an intriguing set of lenses through which to view such imagery and locate it within its wider social political and devotional contexts. Though the art works discussed are centuries old the topics of the essays resonate today as twenty-first-century Western society is still absorbed in thorny debates about the ethics and consequences of the use of force coercion (including torture) and execution and about whether it is ever fully acceptable to write social norms on the bodies of those who will not conform. | Death Torture and the Broken Body in European Art 1300–1650
