Abstract

Dit boek bevat geen gewone geschiedenis of kunstgeschiedenis. Op zeer verrassende wijze brengt de auteur steeds bepaalde kunstwerken in verband met episoden uit de beschavingsgeschiedenis, een opwindende en stimulerende speurtocht. Hij tracht geen compleet overzicht te geven, maar concentreert zich op de hoogtepunten : van het 9e eeuwse Iona nar het 12e eeuwse Frankrijk, van Florence naar Urbino, van Duitsland naar Rome, Engeland, de Nederlanden en Amerika. Tegen deze historische achtergronden toont hij ons zowel de mensen die nieuwe kracht aan de beschaving verleenden en ons begrip van de wereld en ons zelf uitbreidden, als de geniale werken in de architectuur, de beeldhouw- en schilderkunst, filosofie, dichtkunst en muziek, wetenschap en techniek, die zij voortbrachten.

Abstract

Sensing Earth states that our environmental issues are in the first place a matter of culture and aesthetics. Technology and science are not enough to solve these problems. Our globe is facing an escalation of ecological problems, with no quick solutions in sight. We seem to be caught in a spiral of health issues, burnout, sensory overload, depression, and somatic deprivation. Artists faced with these crises are looking for ways to articulate the ongoing emergencies and explore possible ways out. However, the arts and culture are caught in a double bind. Artists and cultural initiatives need circulation to let ideas intersect and create meaningful connections. However, this globalized system also contributes to the planet's ecological decline: by countless journeys from one biennale, international residency, touring exhibition and networking event to the next. After the Covid-19 pandemic 'business as usual' seems to prevail. Sensing Earth includes essays, interviews, poetry, manifestos, choreographic prompts, speculative fiction, and case studies operating at the intersection of art and activism, culture and nature. All texts explore what sensorial foundations are necessary to address systemic failures, and what routes to take for keeping us moving on this planet, physically, emotionally and intellectually.https://www.epo.be/nl/boeken/9789493246249/sensing-earth-

Abstract

Groundbreaking new insight into a rich spectrum of early Soviet art and its spaces of display Published on the centenary of the Russian Revolution, this landmark book gathers information from the forefront of current research in early Soviet art, providing a new understanding of where art was presented, who saw it, and how the images incorporated and conveyed Soviet values. More than 350 works are grouped into areas of critical importance for the production, reception, and circulation of early Soviet art: battlegrounds, schools, theaters, the press, storefronts, exhibitions, factories, festivals, and homes. Paintings by El Lissitzky and Liubov Popova are joined by sculptures, costumes and textiles, decorative arts, architectural models, books, magazines, films, and more. Also included are rare and important artifacts, among them a selection of illustrated children?s notes by Joseph Stalin?s daughter, Svetlana Allilueva, as well as reproductions of key exhibition spaces such as the legendary Obmokhu (Constructivist) exhibition in 1921; Aleksandr Rodchenko?s Workers Club in 1925; and a Radio-Orator kiosk for live, projected, and printed propaganda designed by Gustav Klutsis in 1922. Bountifully illustrated, this book offers an unprecedented, cross-disciplinary analysis of two momentous decades of Soviet visual culture.

Abstract

Artistieke autonomie is uit de gratie. Kunst moet meer dan voorheen ergens voor dienen. Kunstenaars die vandaag nog op hun autonome strepen staan, worden op hoongelach onthaald. Maar ook docenten mogen hun tijd met studenten steeds minder autonoom invullen. In de huidige economische werkelijkheid wordt kunstenaars, docenten en studenten meer ondernemingszin aangepraat en worden zij op hun 'maatschappelijke verantwoordelijkheid' aangesproken. In de huidige neoliberale samenleving moet kunst worden vermarkt en kan de noodzaak van creatieve autonomie nauwelijks meer overtuigen.In dit werkje onderzoeken theoretici, docenten en kunstenaars de betekenis van autonomie voor de kunsten en voor het (kunst)onderwijs. Ze komen allen tot de conclusie dat de maatschappij waarin we leven onmogelijk kan zonder autonomie. Verschillende misvattingen worden daarvoor onderuitgehaald. Zo is autonomie absoluut geen individuele aangelegenheid. Ook sociale groepen en organisaties moeten zelfbestuur en autonomie nastreven om overeind te blijven en ons samenlevingsmodel in stand te houden. Dit boek wil aangeven wat de waarde is van autonomie voor de kunsten, voor het onderwijs, voor de politiek en daarmee voor de huidige samenleving

Abstract

"When we talk about technology we always talk about tomorrow and the future -- which makes it hard to figure out how to even get there. In Future Histories, public interest lawyer and digital specialist Lizzie O'Shea argues that we need to stop looking forward and start looking backwards. Weaving together histories of computing and progressive social movements with modern theories of the mind, society, and self, O'Shea constructs a "usable past" that can help us determine our digital future. What, she asks, can the Paris Commune tell us about earlier experiments in sharing resources--like the Internet--in common? How can Frantz Fanon's theories of anti colonial self-determination help us build digital world in which everyone can participate equally? Can debates over equal digital access be helped by American revolutionary Tom Paine's theories of democratic, economic redistribution? What can indigenous land struggles teach us about stewarding our digital climate? And, how is Elon Musk not a future visionary but a steampunk throwback to Victorian-era technological utopians? In engaging, sparkling prose, O'Shea shows us how very human our understanding of technology is, and how when we draw on the resources of the past, we can see the potential for struggle, for liberation, for art and poetry in our technological present. Future Histories is for all of us--makers, coders, hacktivists, Facebook-users, self-styled Luddites--who find ourselves in a brave new world."--Amazon.com.

Abstract

Schillers magnum opus 'Brieven over de esthetische opvoeding van de mens' behoort tot de belangrijkste filosofische werken van de vroege Duitse Romantiek. Met de zijns inziens catastrofale gevolgen van de Franse Revolutie voor ogen, komt Schiller ertoe geen heil meer te verwachten van politieke middelen en alleen het niet-politieke middel van de kunst in staat te achten de moderne maatschappij te humaniseren. Het 'spel' van de kunst zou de mens pas echt vrij maken. Zijn gedurfde verhandeling is tot op vandaag van grote invloed. Zijn visie op de homo ludens, analyse van de maatschappij, interpretatie van de geschiedenis, opvatting van kunst en dialectische methode van begripsvorming zijn een bron van inspiratie geweest voor pedagogisch onderzoek naar het spel, en voor historici en filosofen als Johan Huizinga, Jürgen Habermas, Richard Rorty, Jean-Luc Nancy en Jacques Rancière
