A Return to the Object Alfred Gell Art and Social Theory

A Return to the Object Alfred Gell Art and Social Theory

This book draws on the work of anthropologist Alfred Gell to reinstate the importance of the object in art and society. Rather than presenting art as a passive recipient of the artist's intention and the audience's critique the authors consider it in the social environment of its production and reception. A Return to the Object introduces the historical and theoretical framework out of which an anthropology of art has emerged and examines the conditions under which it has renewed interest. It also explores what art 'does' as a social and cultural phenomenon and how it can impact alternative ways of organising and managing knowledge. Making use of ethnography museological practice the intellectual history of the arts and sciences material culture studies and intangible heritage the authors present a case for the re-orientation of current conversations surrounding the anthropology of art and social theory. This text will be of key interest to students and scholars in the social and historical sciences arts and humanities and cognitive sciences. | A Return to the Object Alfred Gell Art and Social Theory

The Experimental Book Object Materiality Media Design

The Experimental Book Object Materiality Media Design

The Experimental Book Object shows why and how books matter in the 21st century. Digital and audio platforms are commonplace and other fields of art beyond literature have increasingly embraced books and publication as their medium of choice. Nevertheless the manifold book object persists and continues to inspire various types of experimentation. This volume sets forth an unprecedented approach where literary and media theory are entangled with design practitioners’ artistic research and process descriptions. By probing the paradigm of the codex this collection of essays focuses on historical and contemporary experimentation that has challenged what books are and could be from the perspectives of materiality mediation and visual and typographic design. Investigations into less-studied areas and cases of performativity demonstrate what experimental books do by interacting with their systemic and cultural environments. The volume offers a multifaceted and multidisciplinary view of the book object the book design and publishing processes and their significance in the digital age. | The Experimental Book Object Materiality Media Design

The Surviving Object Psychoanalytic clinical essays on psychic survival-of-the-object

The Surviving Object Psychoanalytic clinical essays on psychic survival-of-the-object

In this book Abram proposes and elaborates the dual concept of an intrapsychic surviving and non surviving object and examines how psychic survival-of-the-object places the early m/Other at the centre of the nascent psyche before innate factors are relevant. Abram’s clinical-theoretical elaborations advance several of Winnicott’s key concepts. Moreover the clinical illustrations show how her advances arise out of the transference-countertransference matrix of the analyzing situation. Chapter by chapter the reader witnesses the evolution of her proposals that not only enhance an appreciation of Winnicott’s original clinical paradigm but also demonstrate how much more there is to glean from his texts especially in the contemporary consulting room. The Surviving Object comprises 8 chapters covering themes such as: the incommunicado self; violation of the self; the paradox of communication; terror at the roots of non survival; an implicit theory of desire; the fear of WOMAN underlying misogyny; the meaning of infantile sexuality; the ‘father in the nursing mother’s mind’ as an ‘integrate’ in the nascent psyche; formlessness preceding integration; a theory of madness. The volume will appeal to psychoanalysts and psychoanalytically-informed psychotherapists of all levels who are inspired by clinical psychoanalysis and the study of human nature. | The Surviving Object Psychoanalytic clinical essays on psychic survival-of-the-object

Curating the Contemporary in the Art Museum

Curating the Contemporary in the Art Museum

Curating the Contemporary in the Art Museum investigates the art museum as a space where the contemporary is staged – in exhibitions collecting practices communication and policies. Curating the Contemporary in the Art Museum traces the art museum back to the postwar era. Including contributions by established and emerging art historians academics and curators the book proposes that the art museum is engaged in the contemporary in a double sense: it (re)presents contemporary art while the contemporary condition itself also has a significant impact on art and the museum that houses it. Presenting a diverse range of international cases of exhibitions and curatorial practices which hail primarily from Europe and Scandinavia the essays examine the politics of staging “national” “international” and “global” framings of modernism as well as the new public spaces shaped in digital practices and changing political frameworks. The book investigates both the seminal and the unknown exhibitions and institutions that created contemporary art as we know it today. Curating the Contemporary in the Art Museum provides a historical perspective on the museum of contemporary art. It constitutes a step towards differencing the canon of modernist and contemporary art and a more complex understanding of the politics of curating the contemporary in the art museum why it will be of interest to academics and students engaged in the study of museums curating exhibitions and art history.

An Analysis of Walter Benjamin's The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction

An Analysis of Walter Benjamin's The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction

The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction combats traditional art criticism’s treatment of artworks as fixed unchanging mystical objects. For Walter Benjamin the consequences of addressing a work of art in this manner have a wider resonance: closed off from any active visual or tactile engagement the work of art becomes an object of passive contemplation and a potential tool of oppression. Benjamin argues that technology has fundamentally altered the way art is experienced. Potentially open to interpretation and accessible to many art in the age of mechanical reproduction has the potential to be mobilized for radical purposes. While ostensibly addressing the artistic consequences of technical reproducibility on art Benjamin also addresses the wider political consequences of this shift. | An Analysis of Walter Benjamin's The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction

Hybridity in Early Modern Art

Hybridity in Early Modern Art

This collection of essays explores hybridity in early modern art through two primary lenses: hybrid media and hybrid time. The varied approaches in the volume to theories of hybridity reflect the increased presence in art historical scholarship of interdisciplinary frameworks that extend art historical inquiry beyond the single time or material. The essays engage with what happens when an object is considered beyond the point of origin or as a legend of information the implications of the juxtaposition of disparate media how the meaning of an object alters over time and what the conspicuous use of out-of-date styles means for the patron artist and/or viewer. Essays examine both canonical and lesser-known works produced by European artists in Italy northern Europe and colonial Peru ca. 1400–1600. The book will be of interest to art historians visual culture historians and early modern historians.

The Shadow of the Object Psychoanalysis of the Unthought Known

The Shadow of the Object Psychoanalysis of the Unthought Known

In The Shadow of the Object Christopher Bollas integrates aspects of Freud’s theory of unconscious thinking with elements from the British Object Relations School. In doing so he offers radical new visions of the scope of psychoanalysis and expands our understanding of the creativity of the unconscious mind and the aesthetics of human character. During our formative years we are continually impressed by the object world. Most of this experience will never be consciously thought and but it resides within us as assumed knowledge. Bollas has termed this the unthought known a phrase that has ramified through many realms of human exploration including the worlds of letters psychology and the arts. Aspects of the unthought known -the primary repressed unconscious -will emerge during a psychoanalysis as a mood the aesthetic of a dream or in our relation to the self as other. Within the unique analytic relationship it becomes possible at least in part to think the unthought - an experience that has enormous transformative potential. Published here with a new preface by Christopher Bollas The Shadow of the Object remains a classic of the psychoanalytic literature written by a truly original thinker. | The Shadow of the Object Psychoanalysis of the Unthought Known

Global and World Art in the Practice of the University Museum

Global and World Art in the Practice of the University Museum

Global and World Art in the Practice of the University Museum provides new thinking on exhibitions of global art and world art in relation to university museums. Taking The Fowler Museum at UCLA USA as its central subject this edited collection traces how university museum practices have expanded the understanding of the ‘art object’ in recent years. It is argued that the meaning of cultural objects infused with the heritage and identity of ‘global culture’ has been developed substantially through the innovative approaches of university scholars museum curators and administrators since the latter part of the twentieth century. Through exploring the ways in which universities and their museums have overseen changes in the global context for art this edited collection initiates a larger dialogue and inquiry into the value and contribution of the empirical model. The volume includes a full-colour photo essay by Marla C. Berns on the Fowler Museum’s ‘Fowler at Fifty’ project as well as contributions from Donald Preziosi Catherine M. Cole Lothar von Falkenhausen Claire Farago Selma Holo and Gemma Rodrigues. It is important reading for professionals scholars and advanced students alike.

The USB Stick Found in the Grass Steam CD Key

The USB Stick Found in the Grass Steam CD Key

It is a bit difficult to classify The USB Stick Found in the Grass as a game; it is more of a combination of a literary work and a forensic puzzle. If you liked A Normal Lost Phone or Her Story, you will probably like TUSFitG. You are given a virtual representation of a USB stick that was found at a scene of a possible crime and you play a police officer trying to solve a case with very limited information. You are not given any tools to do so, but you can use any tools you have on your computer. The USB Stick Found in the Grass is not subject to any intrinsic limitations on which the game is built. Quite the opposite: TUSFitG is as close to the real thing as possible. The USB drive you will be investigating is indistinguishable from a real one. The tools you will be using are real. If something looks like it can be checked, it can be checked. If something can't be checked, it wasn't our intention – it’s simply the result of a built-in technological limitation. Your job is to find what it is all about, if the stick is in any way related to what have happened and IF anything happened.And remember: sometimes it is the journey that is more important than the destination!

Art and Expression Studies in the Psychology of Art

Art and Expression Studies in the Psychology of Art

Perception of expression distinguishes our cognitive activity in a pervasive significant and peculiar way and manifests itself paradigmatically in the vast world of artistic production. Art and Expression examines the cognitive processes involved in artistic production aesthetic reception understanding and enjoyment. Using a phenomenological theoretical and methodological framework developed by Rudolf Arnheim and other important scholars interested in expressive media Alberto Argenton considers a wide range of artistic works which span the whole arc of the history of western graphic and pictorial art. Argenton analyses the representational strategies of a dynamic and expressive character that can be reduced to basic aspects of perception like obliqueness amodal completion and the bilateral function of contour giving new directions relative to the functioning of cognitive activity. Art and Expression is a monument to the fruitful collaboration of art history and psychology and Argenton has taken great care to construct a meaningful psychological approach to the arts based also on a knowledge of pictorial genres that allows him to systematically situate the works under scrutiny. Art and Expression is an essential resource for postgraduate researchers and scholars interested in visual perception art and gestalt psychology. | Art and Expression Studies in the Psychology of Art

Music in a New Found Land Themes and Developments in the History of American Music

Music in a New Found Land Themes and Developments in the History of American Music

The subject of this book is accurately defined by its subtitle. Music in a New Found Land does not pretend to be a comprehensive history of American music. Nor does Mellers strive to catalog what he considers to be authentic American music. Instead he deals in some detail with comparatively few composers most of whom have wellestablished reputations. It has always been difficult to separate American music from its immediate relevance to the twentieth century. Mellers' theme involves the relationship between art music jazz and pop music; he sees the segregation of these genres as both illogical and artifi cial. If the pop music of Tin Pan Alley may be anti-art it has also produced Gershwin Ellington and composing improvisers such as Louis Armstrong Charlie Parker and Miles Davis. The study of American music is as relevant into any inquiry into a national culture as the study of American literature and painting. This book contains a large number of quotations from American writers because Mellers thought American sensibility should parallel reinforce and comment on American music. In sum this is the closest available one-volume history of American music and a window into American culture. | Music in a New Found Land Themes and Developments in the History of American Music

The Art-Journal and Fine Art Publishing in Victorian England 1850–1880

The Art-Journal and Fine Art Publishing in Victorian England 1850–1880

Focusing on an era that both inherited and irretrievably altered the form and the content of earlier art production The Art-Journal and Fine Art Publishing in Victorian England 1850-1880 argues that fine art practices and the audiences and markets for them were influenced by the media culture of art publishing and journalism in substantial and formative ways perhaps more than at any other time in the history of English art. The study centers on forms of Victorian picture-making and the art knowledge systems defining them and draws on the histories of art literature journalism and publishing. The historical example employed in the book is that of the more than 800 steel-plate prints after paintings published in the London-based Art-Journal between 1850 and 1880. The cultural phenomenon of the Art Journal print is shown to be a key connector in mid-Victorian art appreciation by drawing out specific tropes of likeness. This study also examines the important links between paint and print; the aesthetic values and domestic aspirations of the Victorian middle class; and the inextricable intertwining of fine art and 'trade' publishing. | The Art-Journal and Fine Art Publishing in Victorian England 1850–1880

Fairbairn and the Object Relations Tradition

Fairbairn and the Object Relations Tradition

Ronald Fairbairn developed a thoroughgoing object relations theory that became a foundation for modern clinical thought. This volume is homage to the enduring power of his thinking and of his importance now and for the future of relational thinking within the social and human sciences. The book gathers an international group of therapists analysts psychiatrists social commentators and historians who contend that Fairbairn's work extends powerfully beyond the therapeutic. They suggest that social cultural and historical dimensions can all be illuminated by his work. Object relations as a strand within psychoanalysis began with Freud and passed through Ferenczi and Rank Balint Suttie and Klein to come of age in Fairbairn's papers of the early 1940s. That there is still life in this line of thinking is illustrated by the essays in this collection and by the modern relational turn in psychoanalytic theory the development of attachment theory and the increasing recognition that there is 'no such thing as an ego' without context without relationships without a social milieu. | Fairbairn and the Object Relations Tradition

Posthumous Art Law and the Art Market The Afterlife of Art

Posthumous Art Law and the Art Market The Afterlife of Art

This book takes an interdisciplinary transnational and cross-cultural approach to reflect on critically examine and challenge the surprisingly robust practice of making art after death in an artist's name through the lenses of scholars from the fields of art history economics and law as well as practicing artists. Works of art conceived as multiples such as sculptures etchings prints photographs and conceptual art can be—and often are—remade from original models and plans long after the artist has passed. Recent sales have suggested a growing market embrace of posthumous works contemporaneous with questioning on the part of art history. Legal norms seem unready for this surge in posthumous production and are beset by conflict across jurisdictions. Non-Western approaches to posthumous art from Chinese emulations of non-living artists to Native American performances take into account rituals of generational passage at odds with contemporary market-driven approaches. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history the art market art law art management museum studies and economics. | Posthumous Art Law and the Art Market The Afterlife of Art

Object Relations and Intersubjective Theories in the Practice of Psychotherapy

Object Relations and Intersubjective Theories in the Practice of Psychotherapy

The evolution of psychoanalytic/psychodynamic psychotherapy has been marked by an increasing disconnect between theory and technique. This book re-establishes a bridge between the two. In presenting a clear explanation of modern psychodynamic theory and concepts and an abundance of clinical illustrations Brodie shows how every aspect of psychodynamic therapy is determined by current psychodynamic theory. In Object Relations and Intersubjective Theories in the Practice of Psychotherapy Brodie uses the theoretical foundation of the work of object relations theorist D. W. Winnicott showing how each of his developmental concepts have clear implications for psychodynamic treatment and builds on the contributions of current intersubjective theorists Thomas Ogden and Jessica Benjamin. Added to this is Brodie’s vast array of clinical material ranging from delinquent adolescents to high-functioning adults and drawing on nearly 40 years of experience in psychotherapy. These contributions are fresh and original and crucially demonstrate how clinical technique is informed by theory and how theory can be illuminated by clinical material. Written with clarity and detail this book will appeal to graduate students in psychology and psychotherapy medical residents in psychiatry and young practicing psychotherapists who wish to fully explore why psychotherapists do what they do and the dialectical relationship between theory and technique that informs their work.
