19981 v. (unpaged) : ill. (some col.) ; 26 x 40 cm. Hardcover very good condition The unexpected runway moment, the candid dressing room expression, the steely eyed scrutiny of the front-row denizens. Runway Madness is a personal invitation to New York's infamous Fashion Week. More than 100 arresting photographs by Pulitzer Prize- winning photographer Lucian Perkins many never published until now tell the behind-the-scenes story of this unparalleled fashion event. Perkins captures the models up-close and personal: Kate Moss without make-up, Naomi Campbell in curlers, and Shalom Harlow, Amber Valetta, Christy Turlington, and many others in high pomp as well as unguarded circumstance. Also exposed are the fashion editors and buyers, journalists, and stars whose high-visibility presence is essential. Quotes from fashion insiders provide a running commentary and captions by Washington Post fashion writer Robin Givhan explain each image. The beat, the lights, the cascade of beauty and color: this is not only a performance, but also a performance art. Long and lean like the runway itself, Runway Madness is the total high fashion experience.

2005cm. 15 x 21, xxxviii-256 pp. con 1 tav. f.t. e molti es. mus. n.t. Fondazione Giorgio Cini - Istituto Venezia e l'Oriente. Orientalia Venetiana Un?indagine centrata sulla ricostruzione del significato dell?esperienza musicale in Cina sia in ambito teorico che applicativo. Abbandonato il dubbio tentativo di sistematizzare le sfaccettature di una esperienza tanto complessa all?interno di una meta-teoria musicale, si ? privilegiata l?individuazione di specifici ?itinerari di senso? che testimoniano la variet? delle risposte cinesi agli interrogativi sul ?significato? della musica. Each study in this volume explores and clarifies one or more aspects of the multifaceted nature of Chinese musical experience, focusing on its construction of meaning, both in the theoretical debate and in the realm of practice. Rather than attempting to construct some kind of meta-theory for the comprehension of Chinese music as a whole, it aims at reconstructing local itineraries of ?sense? deriving from context and comparison, to show the extraordinary variety of responses given in China to the problem of musical meaningfulness.

1986GUIDA 1986 191 PP. FONDO DI MAGAZZINO: APPUNTO A BIRO (200: NUMERO DI COPIE STOCCATE) AL MARGINE ANGOLARE SUPERIORE ESTERNO DELLA QUARTA DI COPERTINA, SEGNI DEL TEMPO E LEGGERE FIORITURE, COME DA FOTO, VOLUME INTONSO, MAI SFOGLIATO. La storia di Marionette, che passione! è incentrata sull'incontro casuale di tre personaggi, incapaci di dare un senso alla propria esistenza. I tre si riveleranno alla fine non diversi da marionette, esseri totalmente in balia delle proprie passioni. Un'opera drammatica, grottesca, che alcuni definiranno legata al pirandellismo. Secondo Gaetano Savatteri, la grandezza di Rosso di San Secondo venne messa in ombra proprio dalla figura di Pirandello.
