Abstract

Al meer dan een halve eeuw woont en werkt tekenaar en rasverteller Koenraad Tinel in het Pajottenland, het glooiende landschap ten zuidwesten van Brussel, waar in de kleine dorpen een karakteristieke mengeling van koppigheid en bijgeloof, van achterdocht en bruegeliaanse gulheid heerst. Voor 'Verhalen van het Pajottenland' liet Tinel zich inspireren door kleurrijke figuren uit zijn omgeving: de postbode, de boer met zijn varkensbeer, de tuinman zonder benen... Bevriend auteur Stefan Brijs luisterde naar de indringende, vaak komische en tegelijkertijd tragische verhalen van Koenraad Tinel en schreef in zijn bekende sobere en trefzekere stijl tekst bij de intrigerende beelden.

Abstract

Arnaud Desjardin's "The Book on Books on Artists Books" is a bibliography of books, pamphlets, dealer catalogues and other printed materials on artists' books that takes stock of a wide variety of publications on artists' books since the early 1970s to assess the historical documentation of distribution, circulation and reception in the field. Together, these materials constitute a unique history of the overlooked ephemera produced by the exhibiting, publishing, disseminating and collecting of artists' books during the last 40 years. Desjardin's criterion for inclusion was to include only informational material on artists' books, rather than critical writing or theoretical texts. Consummately researched, with more than 600 entries, this book constitutes a groundbreaking bibliography that will prove essential for scholars, librarians and fans of artists' books. The Book on Books on Artists’ Books is a bibliography of books, pamphlets and catalogues on artists’ books. It takes stock of a wide variety of publications about artists’ books released since the early 1970s to draw attention to the kind of documentary trace of distribution, circulation and reception they represent. It aims to be a source book of exhibition catalogues, collection catalogues, monographs, dealership catalogues and other lists published to inform, promote, describe, show, distribute and circulate artists’ books. This second edition comes with an addendum and new, updated material. All images are in black and white. - The Everyday Press

Abstract

Published in 1913, Thomas Mann's Death in Venice is one of the most widely read novellas in any language. In the 1970s, Benjamin Britten adapted it into an opera, and Luchino Visconti turned it into a successful film. Reading these works from a philosophical perspective, Philip Kitcher connects the predicament of the novella's central character to Western thought's most compelling questions. In Mann's story, the author Gustav von Aschenbach becomes captivated by an adolescent boy, first seen on the lido in Venice, the eventual site of Aschenbach's own death. Mann works through central concerns about how to live, explored with equal intensity by his German predecessors, Schopenhauer and Nietzsche. Kitcher considers how Mann's, Britten's, and Visconti's treatments illuminate the tension between social and ethical values and an artist's sensitivity to beauty. Each work asks whether a life devoted to self-sacrifice in the pursuit of lasting achievements can be sustained and whether the breakdown of discipline undercuts its worth. Haunted by the prospect of his death, Aschenbach also helps us reflect on whether it is possible to achieve anything in full awareness of our finitude and in knowing our successes are always incomplete.

Abstract

This volume takes as its focus the paradoxical double-bind of textuality and visuality in the culture of the high and late Middle Ages and early modernity. In a series of case studies contributors explore the historical and theoretical implications of the idea that texts and images alike ‘speak to the eye’. Some scholars have proclaimed the coming of a ‘visual turn’ to explain the boom in conferences, books, and even specialized journals that take as their topic the theoretical or historical study of visual culture. The notion of visual culture may seem self-evident, not merely from our own twenty-first-century perspective but also when applied to earlier periods of western European history. However, the nature and status of the visual media, as well as the ways in which these were received, experienced, and appropriated, underwent several major changes between the twelfth and the seventeenth centuries. Contemporary sources describe and define the experience of reading texts and images as involving a mixture of visual and aural impulses that address both the inner eye and the outer senses. This volume sets out explicitly to investigate the specific, sensuous nature of this experience. It also addresses the question of whether, and if so to what extent and in which ways, this ‘reading experience’ was engendered.
