FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 338 pp. ; 67 illus. -- with a bonus offer--; Associating social justice with landscape is not new yet the twenty-first century's heightened threats to landscape and their impact on both human and more generally nature's habitats necessitate novel intellectual tools to address such challenges. This book offers that innovative critical thinking framework. The establishment of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights UDHR in 1948 in the aftermath of Second World War atrocities was an aspiration to guarantee both concrete necessities for survival and the spiritual/emotional/psychological needs that are quintessential to the human experience. While landscape is place nature and culture specific the idea transcends nation-state boundaries and as such can be understood as a universal theoretical concept similar to the way in which human rights are perceived. The first step towards the intellectual interface between landscape and human rights is a dynamic and layered understanding of landscape. Accordingly the 'Right to Landscape' is conceived as the place where the expansive definition of landscape with its tangible and intangible dimensions overlaps with the rights that support both life and human dignity as defined by the UDHR. By expanding on the concept of human rights in the context of landscape this book presents a new model for addressing human rights - alternative scenarios for constructing conflictreduced approaches to landscape-use and human welfare are generated. This book introduces a rich new discourse on landscape and human rights serving as a platform to inspire a diversity of ideas and conceptual interpretations. The case studies discussed are wide in their geographical distribution and interdisciplinary in the theoretical situation of their authors breaking fresh ground for an emerging critical dialogue on the convergence of landscape and human rights. . 2011. 1409404447 .

FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 240 pp. ; 32 illus. -- with a bonus offer--; Collecting Mexico centers on the ways in which aesthetics and commercialism intersected in officially sanctioned public collections and displays in late nineteenth-century Mexico. Shelley E. Garrigan approaches questions of origin citizenry membership and difference by reconstructing the lineage of institutionally collected objects around which a modern Mexican identity was negotiated. In doing so she arrives at a deeper understanding of the ways in which displayed objects become linked with nationalistic meaning and why they exert such persuasive force. Spanning the Porfiriato period from 1867 to 1910 Collecting Mexico illuminates the creation and institutionalization of a Mexican cultural inheritance. Employing a wide range of examples—including the erection of public monuments the culture of fine arts and the representation of Mexico at the Paris World’s Fair of 1889—Garrigan pursues two strands of thought that weave together in surprising ways: national heritage as a transcendental value and patrimony as potential commercial interest. Collecting Mexico shows that the patterns of institutional collecting reveal how Mexican public collections engendered social meaning. Using extensive archival materials Garrigan’s close readings of the processes of collection building offer a new vantage point for viewing larger issues of identity social position and cultural/capital exchange. . 2012. 0816670927 .

We remember best when we experience an event in a place. But what happens when we leave that place or that place no longer exists This book addresses the relationship between memory and place and asks how architecture captures and triggers memory. It explores how architecture exists as a physical entity and how it registers as a place that we come to remember beyond the physical site itself. It questions what architecture is in the broadest sense assuming that it is not simply buildings. Rather architecture is considered to be the mapping of physical mental or emotional space. The idea that we are all architects in some measure - as we actively organize and select pathways and markers within space - is central to this book's premise. Each chapter provides a different example of the manifold ways in which the physical place of architecture is curated by the architecture in our 'mental' space: our imaginary toolbox when we think of a place and look at a photograph or visit a site and describe it later or send a postcard. By connecting architecture with other disciplines such as geography visual culture sociology and urban studies as well as the fine and performing arts this book puts forward the idea that a conversation about architecture is not exclusively about formal isolated buildings but instead must be deepened and broadened as spatialized visualizations and experiences of place. . 2011. 140940871X .

FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 328 pages. -- with a bonus offer--; As an artist Edgar Degas 1834-1917 defies easy description. Allied with the French impressionists through his commitment to portraying modern life he also took an independent course preferring line over color and the visible brushstroke and working in a studio instead of out-of-doors. He is perhaps best known as a painter but his most widely known work is a sculpture Little Dancer Aged Fourteen. Executed in wax near life-sized dressed in a ballerina's tutu with real ballet slippers and real hair the sculpture caused a sensation when it was exhibited in 1881. It is the only sculpture Degas ever showed publicly though more than one hundred--of dancers horses and bathers--were found in his studio after he died all dusty some fallen apart. For almost forty years after his death these works were known only through the bronzes his heirs had cast from the originals.Then in 1955 the waxes themselves appeared on the art market. Thanks to the discernment and generosity of Paul Mellon the majority are now preserved at the National Gallery of Art Washington most on permanent display. This groundbreaking volume honors this extraordinary gift by linking art and science. It brings together the insights of a distinguished art historian of nineteenth-century painting and sculpture and the specialized knowledge of National Gallery conservators and scientists who have published pioneering technical studies. Including essays on Degas' life and work his sculptural technique and materials and the story of the sculptures after his death it features art-historical and technical discussions of every work in the collection as well as indispensable concordances and bibliography. The richly illustrated text is intended for both art lover and specialist. Was Degas the sculptor technically inept or unusually inventive How do we understand his sculpture in light of his paintings prints and photographs These questions and many others are explored with originality and depth adding immeasurably to our understanding of the artistic avant-garde in the late nineteenth century and to our appreciation of this controversial artist. . 2010. 069114897X .

FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- Text in English. 260 pp. 29 x 23 cm. -- with a bonus offer--; Between September 7 and 9 2006 25 scholars of Italian Renaissance art gathered at the Georgia Museum of Art to honor Andrew Ladis Franklin Professor of Art History at the University of Georgia s Lamar Dodd School of Art. Sponsored by the museum the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences the Lamar Dodd School of Art the Willson Center for the Humanities and Arts and the President s Venture Fund the conference represented the fulfillment of more than 10 years of similar gatherings in Athens that Ladis had helped to organize. The scholars and audience that came to Athens in September 2006 had all participated in one or another of these earlier events. They gathered to honor Ladis s scholarship and to celebrate his generosity his enthusiasm and his joy at sharing art history with others. "The Historian s Eye: Essays on Italian Art in Honor of Andrew Ladis" comprises many of the papers presented at that conference from scholars including Paul Barolsky Norman E. Land Perri Lee Roberts and the editors of this volume Hayden B.J. Maginnis and Shelley E. Zuraw. Subjects addressed range from maps of Rome to chalices and guild regulations the history of the Madonna delle Grazie motif in Renaissance Naples and the echoes of the Divine Comedy in the murals of the Chiostro Verde. The book concludes with a collection of tributes to Ladis by his former students and his academic bibliography. More than the usual compilation of essays resulting from a conference "The Historian s Eye" is a true Festschrift and a worthy tribute to Ladis as scholar and teacher. . 2009. 0915977699 .
