Fallen Animals - Art, Religion, Literature (Hardcover): Zohar Hadromi-Allouche Fallen Animals - Art, Religion, Literature (Hardcover)
Zohar Hadromi-Allouche; Contributions by Brian Brock, Constantin Canavas, Diane Apostolos Cappadona, Eric Ziolkowski, …
R2,394 Discovery Miles 23 940 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

The premise of Fallen Animals is that some how and in some way The Fall of Adam and Eve as related in the Bible has affected all living beings from the largest to the smallest, from the oldest to the youngest, regardless of gender and geography. The movement from the blissful arena of the Garden of Eden to the uncertain reality of exile altered in an overt or nuanced fashion the attitudes, perceptions, and consciousness of animals and humanity alike. Interpretations of these reformulations as well as the original story of the Paradise Garden have been told and retold for millennia in a variety of cultural contexts, languages, societies, and religious environments. Throughout all those retellings, animals have been a constant presence positively and negatively, actively and passively, from the creation of birds, fish, and mammals to the agency of the serpent in the Fall narrative. The serpent in the Garden of Eden is but one example of the ambivalence which has characterized the human-animal relationship over the centuries, both across, and within, cultures, societies and traditions. The book examines the interpretations, functions and interactions of the Fall - physical, moral, artistic and otherwise - as represented through animals, or through human-animal interactions.

Differential Aesthetics - Art Practices, Philosophy and Feminist Understandings (Paperback): Penny Florence, Nicola Foster Differential Aesthetics - Art Practices, Philosophy and Feminist Understandings (Paperback)
Penny Florence, Nicola Foster
R1,136 Discovery Miles 11 360 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This title was first published in 2000. This is an interdisciplinary and international collection on aesthetics with contributions from artists and philosophers and the range of thinkers about art in between. It aims to provide a forum for the kinds of question that used to be addressed within traditional aesthetics, but which have until recently been sidelined in critical writing about art and indeed in many of the most important art practices. The collection as a whole is situated in relation to feminists' approaches, but the editors hope that it will not be read as limited to them.

Looking Back to the Future - 1990-1970 (Paperback, illustrated edition): Griselda Pollock Looking Back to the Future - 1990-1970 (Paperback, illustrated edition)
Griselda Pollock; Edited by Penny Florence
R1,313 Discovery Miles 13 130 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

In this selection of essays, Griselda Pollock engages all areas of contemporary theory, especially focusing on sexed subjectivities, post-colonialism and Marxist-informed history. In her commentary, Penny Florence places Pollock's critique of modernism, art history, and criticism within the context of the social, political and ideological developments that have taken place since the 1970s. Florence recognizes in Pollock's work a critical model that moves beyond the contradictions that take place within the history of art. Pollock's own essays and Florence's commentary elaborate the complexities in evaluating this prominent theorist and feminist, whose work demands a capacity to sustain contradiction.

Thinking the Sculpture Garden - Art, Plant, Landscape (Hardcover): Penny Florence Thinking the Sculpture Garden - Art, Plant, Landscape (Hardcover)
Penny Florence
R4,480 Discovery Miles 44 800 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This innovative book poses two, deceptively simple, questions: what is a sculpture garden, and what happens when you give equal weight to the main elements of landscape, planting and artwork? Its wide-ranging frame of reference, including the USA, Europe and Japan, is brought into focus through Tremenheere Sculpture Garden, Cornwall, with which the book begins and ends. Effectively less than 15 years old, and largely the work of one man, Tremenheere affords an opportunity to examine as work-in-progress the creation of a new kind of sculpture garden. Including a historical overview, the book traverses multiple ways of seeing and experiencing sculpture gardens, culminating in an exploration of their relevance as 'cultural ecology' in the context of globalisation, urbanisation and climate change. The thinking here is non-dualist and broadly aligned with New Materialisms and Material Feminisms to explore our place as humans in the non-human world on which we depend. Eminent contributors, including John Dixon Hunt, George Descombes, Bernard Lassus and David Leatherbarrow, approach these issues through practices and theories of landscape architecture; garden and art making; history and writing; and philosophy. Richly illustrated with over 100 images, including a colour plate section, the book will primarily appeal to those engaged in professional or academic research, along with sculpture garden visitors, who will find new and surprising ways of experiencing plants and art in natural and urban settings.

Mallarme, Manet and Redon - Visual and Aural Signs and the Generation of Meaning (Paperback): Penny Florence Mallarme, Manet and Redon - Visual and Aural Signs and the Generation of Meaning (Paperback)
Penny Florence
R1,024 Discovery Miles 10 240 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This study, first published in 1986, is an examination of the many facets of Mallarmes relationship to the visual arts. Dr Florence proceeds by analysing Mallarmes writing on painting and literature, and its bearing on specific paintings, lithographs, and poems. These analyses reveal and define important common structures and innovatory developments, the coherence of which is masked by conventional histories of art. A new relationship is revealed between the word and the image, which has significant implications for an understanding of the self and the world in these texts. The book is particularly original in two respects: first, it shows how developments in verbal and visual innovation are interdependent in Mallarmes work; second, it integrates hitherto discrete traditions of the avant-garde in painting to present a new perspective on the history of modernism.
