Las imágenes generadas por el poder utilizan determinados motivos visuales bajo los cuales se oculta una suma de protocolos interesados que les proporciona su auténtico sentido. Ante esta constatación, los cuarenta capitulos y las dos adendas que conforman El poder en escena responden a la necesidad de ejercer de rastreadores de estos iconos de la esfera publica para descifrar asi la naturaleza de estas imagenes que parecen rutinarias y espontaneas, y ante las cuales no solemos interrogarnos. Solo con hacerlo y detenernos en cada motivo para nombrarlo, ya se da un paso decisivo para reconocer su sesgo ideologico. Esos motivos visuales se generan desde el campo de la politica, quiza los mas notorios por su voluntad propagandistica; desde la economia, siempre basados en la ocultacion de su poder real; del poder judicial, otro ambito donde la opacidad es norma; de los cuerpos policiales, que construyen motivos de aparente objetividad; o de algunos rituales sociales que se repiten de manera insistente y enigmatica. El hecho de ahondar en los origenes iconograficos de cada motivo -en el cine, la pintura, la fotografia o la arquitectura y sus posteriores ramificaciones- nos permite cuestionar las formas visuales que los distintos ambitos de poder utilizan para autorrepresentarse. Y al mismo tiempo sirve para preguntarnos por la genesis y evolucion de estas formas, dar testimonio de su falsa transparencia y devolver asi una mirada critica e ironica ante el poder que las genera.

Humanoscopia no es un libro sobre arte; el arte es el narrador, el instrumento de observación de la protagonista: la condición humana.Si un extraterrestre llegase a la Tierra y quisiéramos mostrarle como somos, podriamos recurrir a un cuadro, un edificio, una obra de teatro, una escultura o un comic. Las obras de arte llevan tanto tiempo entre nosotros que no hay nada en el mundo tan impregnado de nuestro caracter. Por tanto, es hora de cederles la palabra y dejar que hablen de nosotros.Con el estilo que caracteriza a El Tarro de Heno, su proyecto de divulgacion cultural, Ignacio del Val nos invita a viajar a nuestra esencia a traves de veintiseis historias en forma de abecedario en las que, con la ayuda del arte, explora los rasgos mas distintivos de nuestra ersonalidad.Humanoscopia es un libro para vernos con los ojos del arte y, sobre todo, para maravillarnos con su asombrosa precision al nombrar aquello que nos sucede por dentro, esos sentimientos que se entienden mucho mejor cuando se ven retratados en la experiencia de otros.

The paintings examined and contextualised in this volume are those secured for Giotto through early written sources. These sources also help to reconstruct the sequence of his works and artistic inventions as is plausible in the context of media culture in the decades around and after 1300: while Giotto was spiritually and intellectually formed in the sphere of the Florentine Dominicans, his artistic path began in Rome in the shadow of the Curia. The breakthrough to his own artistic concept came immediately before and during his work in Padua. In addition to prominent churchmen, ecclesiastical institutions, and the King of Naples, his clients were predominantly members of Italys urban and financial elites. The adoption and further development of his inventions by other - especially Sienese - painters pressured him in his later years to try new approaches again.

Giotto (1334) is the first European artist about whom it is possible to write following the schema of "life and work". The situation of the sources, however, is complicated: On Giottos life, there are on the one hand biographical accounts from the mid-fourteenth century onwards that responded to various ideological requirements (patriotism, humanism, Renaissance ideology, cult of the artist); on the other, there is extensive documentary material from Giottos lifetime, which seems to reflect less the biography of an artist than that of a bourgeois businessman resolutely climbing the social ladder. The present volume focuses on this second aspect of the Giotto figures double life relating it to the form of existence of the pre-modern artist.

This thesis is discussed and modified in the present volume on an empirical basis. What emerges is that Giottos impact cannot be reduced simply to the introduction of the study of nature. Rather, his art was involved in the development of pictorial idioms that were attuned to the skills and interests of their audiences. The new approaches in his painting contributed in particular to the possibility of examining and communicating psychological, narrative and allegorical content of great complexity outside the media of language and text, which not only changed the face of European art but certainly contributed to the intellectual opening of Western societies.

"En la hoja de un árbol" y "El Cuerno de la Abundancia" se unen en este libro luego de atravesar un proceso poco común: trasvasarse de la escritura para cine a la literatura. En el primer relato el narrador Arturo Arango intenta recrear para un cortometraje las vivencias adolescentes de un amigo, compartiendo con el sus dudas creativas. En el segundo, Arturo acompaña a Juan Carlos Tabio, director de la pelicula, en sus viajes de investigacion a Yaraguey, un pequeño poblado donde muchos esperan una herencia millonaria. En ambos relatos el narrador persiste en una misma idea: "el arte esta obligado a buscar la verdad, pero su camino predilecto es la mentira".

The tombs and mortuary temples of Thebes have proved an enduring topic of interest thanks to a quickly expanding corpus of field materials and a series of conferences devoted to the subject. This volume, the fourth in a series of occasional proceedings from the ongoing Theban Workshop, presents new research on wall decoration in the Theban necropolis. Its thirteen essays, by an international array of leading scholars, attest to the wide and varied scope of the theme.

Best known today as the illustrator of Lewis Carrolls Alice books, John Tenniel was one of the Victorian eras chief political cartoonists. This extensively illustrated book is the first to draw almost exclusively on primary sources in family collections, public archives, and other depositories. Frankie Morris examines Tenniels life and work, producing a book that is not only a definitive resource for scholars and collectors but one that can be easily enjoyed by everyone interested in Victorian life and art, social history, journalism and political cartoons, and illustrated books. In the first part of the book, Morris looks at Tenniel the man. From his sunny childhood and early enthusiasm for sports, theatre, and medievalism to his flirtation with high art and his fifty years with the London journal Punch, Tenniel is shown to have been the sociable and urbane humorist revealed in his drawings. Tenniels countrymen thought his work would embody for future historians the trend and character of Victorian thought and life. Morris assesses to what extent that prediction has been fulfilled. The biography is followed by three sections on Tenniels work, consisting of thirteen independent essays in which the author examines Tenniels methods and his earlier book illustrations, the Alice pictures, and the Punch cartoons. For lovers of Alice, Morris offers six chapters on Tenniels work for Carroll. These reveal demonstrable links with Christmas pantomimes, Punch and Judy shows, nursery toys, magic lanterns, nineteenth-century grotesques, Gothic revivalism, and social caricatures. Morris also demonstrates how Tenniels cartoons depicted the key political questions of his day, from the Eastern Question to Lincoln and the American Civil War, examining their assumptions, devices, and evolving strategies. The definitive study of both the man and the work, Artist of Wonderland gives an unprecedented view of the cartoonist who mythologized the world for generations of Britons.

Vuelve la fresca sabiduría de Gompertz para enseñarnos a mirar como artistas y experimentaruna nueva manera de estar en el mundo.Los artistas han aprendido a prestar atención. El resto de los mortales, sin embargo, pasamos la mayor parte del tiempo con el piloto automatico, corriendo de aqui para alla, y nuestra excesiva familiaridad con lo que nos rodea nos ciega ante el sinfin de maravillosos fenomenos que afirman la vida. Pero no tiene por que ser asi.A su mas puro estilo, Will Gompertz nos lleva a la mente de los artistas, desde estrellas contemporaneas hasta viejos maestros, desde los mas famosos hasta algunos menos conocidos, a lo largo y ancho del mundo, para mostrarnos como mirar y experimentar el mundo con mayor conciencia.Tras leer Mira lo que te pierdes disfrutamos contemplando el cielo en dias nublados como el pintor romantico John Constable; Hockney se convierte en el nuevo guia de nuestros paseos por el bosque; entendemos que es de verdad una amapola gracias a Georgia OKeeffe; y Rembrandt nos contagia su valentia a la hora de mirarnos a nosotros mismos. Este libro nos ofrece la estimulante sensacion de estar verdaderamente vivos.La critica ha dicho: Will Gompertz es un tipo singular. Rapido como la sangre. Y un defensor de la claridad en un territorio de opacidades. Antonio Lucas, El MundoGompertz es tan provocador, irreverente, ironico, divertido y politicamente incorrecto como muchos de los artistas de los que habla. Su vision del mundo del arte es inteligente, salpimentada con buenas dosis de humor. Nati Pulido, ABCWill Gompertz es de esa estirpe de profesionales que, porque de verdad saben, no necesitan demostrar nada.

Volume XXIII in the Corinth series is dedicated to the finds from the Gymnasium Area, excavated between 1965 and 1972 by James R. Wiseman and the University of Texas at Austin. Fascicle XXIII.1 presents the marble sculpture, 126 pieces dating between the 6th century B.C. and 5th century A.D. and found in or near a variety of built features, including the ornately decorated Bath-Fountain complex. Among the sculptural finds are portraits of athletes and civic officials and depictions of Dionysos, Hermes, and Aphrodite and the nymphs. Herms and statue bases also form part of the assemblage. This corpus grants us insight into the sculptural practices after the founding of the Roman colony at Corinth, and critical knowledge concerning display context, reuse, and the deposition of sculpture at a gymnasium in a large regional center of the eastern Mediterranean.

Por que devemos ter e apoiar um letramento trans no Brasil: um ensaio de Dri Azevedo; como a estadunidense Shirley Jackson (1916-1965), autora de A loteria e outros contos, construiu o insólito em suas ficçes; um panorama das relaçes entre o pensamento e a atuaço publica do critico Antonio Candido (1918-2017), cuja obra começa a ser republicada neste mes; em ensaio inedito, a escritora Luciany Aparecida comenta a funço "contra-colonial" das assinaturas esteticas em sua obra ficcional; a costura entre memoria e ancestralidade segundo o artista visual Gustavo Caboco, do povo Wapichana, que comenta seus livros em entrevista.

Simultaneously pervasive and evasive, rebellious and oppressive, transgressive and socially specific, humour is a vast and interdisciplinary field of research. Seeking to rethink this quintessentially human expression, this volume is bringing together established and emerging directions of medieval humour research. Each contribution explores different artistic expressions, receptions and functions of humour and identifies a series of problems in researching humour historically. Medieval Humour: Expressions, Receptions and Functions dissects humour in art and thought, literature and drama, society and culture, contributing to a deeper understanding of our cultural past.
