Over the past two decades, Lisa Oppenheim has developed a critically acclaimed practice that is deeply rooted in the field of photography while also constantly exploring its margins. She often focuses on the unexplored potential of the mediums artistic, technological, and sociopolitical histories. Combining material experimentation with archival research, Oppenheim transforms or, in her words, "reprocesses"images and ideas both recent and historical by employing creative mechanisms ranging from a host of photographic processes to other media such as textiles, film and video, and, most recently, sculpture. Published in conjunction with her exhibition Monsieur Steichen at MUDAM Luxembourg, this richly illustrated catalogue surveys Oppenheims works from the past dozen years, and includes new texts by Darsie Alexander, Christophe Gallois, Jacob Proctor, and Bettina Steinbrugge, as well as a conversation between Lisa Oppenheim and artist Liz Deschenes.Lisa Oppenheim (*1975, New York) lives and works in New York City and holds degrees from Brown University, Bard College, and the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten. She is represented by Tanya Bonakdar Gallery in New York and Los Angeles and The Approach in London.

Provenance research is so much more than a search for origin: It offers new perspectives on objects, collections, their histories, and the multifaceted relationships embedded within them. The Museum der Kulturen Basel is systematically examining its collection for coloniality and highlighting the central importance of collaborating with communities in the Global South. This work also reveals how complex and demanding ethnological provenance research is. This volume "raises groundbreaking questions that will shape ethnological provenance research in the decades to come" (George Meiu).The Museum der Kulturen Basel is one of the five state museums of the Canton of Basel-Stadt and, with a collection of over 340,000 objects from all regions of the world, it is Switzerlands largest ethnological museum. Managing this collection acquiring, preserving, securing, exhibiting, and mediating the collection is the core mission around which the museums activities are centered. In recent years, provenance research and collaboration with so-called "source communities" have played a prominent role.

Edición de Luis Gómez Canseco.Vida, ascendencia, nacimiento, crianza y aventurasdel doctor don Diego de Torres Villarroel fue publicada por primera vez en 1743. Esta autobiografía novelada y novelesca se convirtio en un exito inmediato.La historia comienza con un protagonista que parece ir para picaro, pero que termina prefiriendo la vida acomodada de un rentista. De una pagina a otra lo vemos ejercer de estudiante, de truhan, ermitaño, bailarin, medico, torero, soldado, bordador, adivino, profesor, astrologo, hombre de Iglesia, polemista, peregrino, exiliado, delincuente, rastreador de duendes, charlatan, paseante refinado por la corte, actor, sabio o loco.A pesar de la buena fortuna de la Vida entre los editores modernos, la edicion de Luis Gomez Canseco para la BCRAE puede considerarse la primera plenamente atenta a todos los pormenores del texto, y nos devuelve una imagen del autor muy distinta a la del escritor negligente que el mismo quiso atribuirse. La anotacion y el estudio completan una rigurosa aproximacion a esta obra capital del pleno Setecientos.

The remarkable literary collaboration between a Nobel Prizewinning novelist and his editor of more than forty years.Three people have been of major importance and influence in my life and you are one of them. There is a way in which I am as a writer at least partly your creation.-- William Golding to Charles Monteith In 1953, William Goldings novel Lord of the Flies was rescued from a slush pile of unsolicited manuscripts by Charles Monteith, a new young editor at the publishing house Faber & Faber. It went on to sell over 25 million copies. Over the next forty years Monteith worked closely with Golding on every one of his novels.These letters tell the story of their remarkable collaboration. They chart Goldings transformation from unknown middle-aged schoolmaster to knighted Nobel Prizewinner, and they tell the story of a deep and mutually rewarding friendship, as Dear Monteith and Dear Golding become Dear Charles and Dear Bill.In this beautifully produced, stitch-bound volume, Tim Kendall draws on both public and private archives to reveal the relationship between one of the greatest novelists of the twentieth century and his publisher, both men who considered themselves, for different reasons, to be outsiders. Their correspondence sheds fascinating light on both the mysteries of the writing process and the vagaries of the literary world.Generous, amusing, acerbic, intimate and often irreverent, these letters encompass gossip, reading recommendations and stories of Greek island adventures as well as detailed discussion of titles, characters and Goldings dreadful spelling.

Para muchas personas, la Edad Media evoca una sensación de lo siniestro y trae a la mente un mundo de miedo, superstición y fanatismo religioso. Para los judíos fue un período marcado por persecuciones, pogromos y expulsiones. Pero, al mismo tiempo, la Edad Media fue tambien para ellos una epoca de intenso intercambio cultural y creatividad. En el Medioevo judio, los autores y autoras exploran las formas en que las historias de las mujeres biblicas, como Eva, Sara, Agar, Rebeca, Sefora, Rut, Ester y Judit, se abren camino en el rico tapiz de la literatura, los textos misticos y el arte, en particular en las obras procedentes de los circulos asquenazies.Estos ensayos nos permiten vislumbrar el papel que desempeñaron las mujeres y la autoridad que asumieron en la cultura judia medieval mas alla de los centros rabinicos de Palestina y Babilonia.

Rusty Egan, co-founder of Visage and resident DJ at Londons iconic Blitz Club, helped define the New Romantic music movement. His autobiography captures the birth of British electronic music, 1980s London nightlife, and collaborations with Midge Ure, Steve Strange, and other pioneers.Rusty Egan is one of the most iconic and influential figures in the electronic music industry. His career began in the music industry as a runner at DJM studios, followed by a stint at WEA Records. Rusty collaborated with former Sex Pistols member Glen Matlock, alongside Steve New and Midge Ure, to establish the new wave band Rich Kids. Their debut album, Ghosts of Princes in Towers, released in 1978, achieved both critical acclaim and commercial success. During the Rich Kids tours, Rusty met Steve Strange. This encounter led to Rustys concept for a club night at Billys, a Soho venue, catering to fashionable punks and showcasing the music they were passionate about. In 1979, they moved their club night to the Blitz in Covent Garden. As the resident DJ at the Blitz, Rusty played a pivotal role in introducing British, German, and Japanese electronica to the British club scene, essentially curating the soundtrack for the burgeoning New Romantic movement.Rusty Egan was instrumental in the formation of the band Visage with Midge Ure. Steve Strange joined them as the frontman (face and voice), and the lineup was completed by Billy Currie on keyboards, along with John McGeoch (guitar), Dave Formula (keyboards), and Barry Adamson (bass), all from the band MAGAZINE.Beyond his band work Rusty co-founded the incredibly popular Camden Palace nightclub in London with Steve Strange, where he continued to champion and shape the development of electronica in the UK. He also established Metropolis Music, a publishing and production company, allowing him to create music as well as perform it.In more recent news, Rusty released his album Welcome To The Dancefloor in 2017, which featured collaborations with Midge Ure,Tony Hadley, and Peter Hook. Rusty Egan is still regularly DJing and in October 2025 will be releasing his new album Romantic to coincide with this autobiography and the Design Museums Blitz Club Exhibition centred of course, around Rusty and the Blitz Kids.

Este libro propone un viaje colectivo que parte de las aproximaciones críticas del feminismo a las teorías del cine y de la comunicación para acercarnos a las prácticas, a aquellos proyectos y asociaciones que desde hace tiempo estan trabajando por una comunicacion explicitamente feminista e interseccional. El objetivo es ofrecer a las estudiantes de comunicacion una aproximacion a las teorias feministas situada en su contexto academico pero que les abra la posibilidad de reflexionar no solo sobre lo que ya se esta haciendo, sobre los discursos y representaciones existentes, sino sobre aquellas ventanas de posibilidad que se abren desde los feminismos, los movimientos LGTBIQ+, el antirracismo y las periferias.

Gives an engaging invitation to wonder, worship, and participation in the triune life of God. This book is ideal for students and professors of theology, pastor theologians, and any Christians seeking theological depth.

The tradition of the two-door luxury car began early in the history of the Rolls-Royce and Bentley marques. In the 1950s, its most famous realisation was the Bentley Continental, but that name was not revived when the new generation of monocoque models arrived in the mid-1960s. Instead, there were near-identical Rolls-Royce and Bentley variants of a stunningly attractive two-door design that came as either a saloon or a drophead coupe.From 1971, the range gained a clearer identity of its own as the Corniche, with a larger and more powerful 6.75-litre V8 engine. The Corniche remained in production for nearly a quarter of a century, during which time it quite literally stood alone as a symbol of wealth and as the epitome of luxury motoring.The drophead models were always the stronger sellers, and Rolls-Royce drew up plans for a new two-door luxury car to replace the Corniche saloons. In practice, the 1975 Camargue would establish its own market, and the closed Corniche stayed in production until 1980. The Camargue was both glamorous and rare, but it had a quite unmistakable presence and gained its own fame as the worlds most expensive production car.This book tells the full story of these iconic ranges, and will be essential reading for owners and admirers of the immortal Corniche and the controversial Camargue.

With a heritage that harks back to the early Twenties, Jaguar is one of UKs oldest automobile marques still in business. As well being famous for several iconic sports cars such as the XK120, E-type and XK8 along with its many successes in international motorsport, it also has a reputation for producing elegant, luxurious and powerful saloons. These have included the Mk VII, Mk 2 and Mk X, plus eight generations of XJ, all of which set a new standard for their performance, ride and comfort.Launched in 1986, the fourth XJ model internally known by Jaguar as the XJ40 not only had a new and more modern design than its more traditional predecessors but also featured an innovative, and at the time class-leading, specification that included a clever onboard diagnostic system.
