By 1979 music was Marclay's material of choice. He has since turned a fascination with all aspects of popular recorded sound and cinema into a brilliant career as an artist. As a collector of audio and film he harnesses his eclectic interests and expansive archive to a practice spanning aural and visual collage and performance in a layering and sampling aesthetic that has come to be called after the DJ's tool turntablism. He has collaborated with musicians including John Zorn the Kronos quartet DJ Spooky and Sonic Youth and appeared or shown his work at venues including The Museum of Modern Art and P.S. 1 in New York. Replay the first book to focus on his moving image work gathers his most important films and projections to date. If Marclay's craft of reconstruction is itself musical the pauses and absences being as much part of the work as the shots and beats his recompositions also follow a rich heritage of montage within cinema and experimental film. . 2007. 3905770571 .

FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 272 pp. ; 224 illus. 216 in color. -- with a bonus offer--; An unflinching portrait of modern conflict by renowned photographer Sean Smith Working both independently and embedded with the U. S. and British militaries Sean Smith has compiled a shocking and unique portrait of modern combat and its aftermath. These pictures take us right into the midst of contemporary war zones and offer a unique insight into the reality of life in the crossfire. Frontlines begins with violence on the streets of Bethlehem in 2000 as Palestinian youths clash with Israeli soldiers. Smith catches fascinating glimpses of life in Afghanistan before the U. S.-led invasion as well as the faltering attempts of Afghan police and the U. S. military to maintain a fragile peace in the face of Taliban insurgency. He takes us into the utter devastation of Lebanon in the wake of Israel's brutal bombardment in 2006. And in Kiwanja in the Congo thousands of refugees struggle on the edge of survival and civilian bodies litter the streets amid bitter clashes between the government and Tutsi renegades. But it is to Iraq the most divisive of conflict of modern times that Smith's work most often returns. He shows us a society nervously holding itself together under the shadow of U. S. assault in 2002. The images follow a crescendo of violence building through the Sunni uprisings of 2007 and the consequent surge as the U. S. army attempts to regain control over an increasingly desperate and violent rebellion. Smith's pictures are both a vivid contemporary document and a worthy contribution to the great tradition of war photography laying bare the reality of modern conflict with a clarity that is impossible to ignore. . 2011. 0852652429 .

2023réf. 130996De Gruyter. New. Hardcover. FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- From the publisher: –"The central claim of this comparative study of Kant and Kierkegaard is that the aesthetic experience of the sublime is both autonomous and formative for extra-aesthetic ends. Aesthetic autonomy is thus inseparable from aesthetic heteronomy. In Part I through an examination of Kant’s Critique of Judgement and his essays on the French Revolution the Kantian sublime is shown to conflict with our existing cognitive moral and political frames of meaning at the same time that the engagement of the aesthetic judge Chapter 1 or the enthusiastic spectator Chapter 2 with this conflict furthers our pursuit of cognitive moral and political ends. The Kantian sublime is built on the autonomy of aesthetic judgement which nevertheless has non-aesthetic value. Part II argues that certain aesthetic and ethical-religious figures in Kierkegaard’s work can be shown to be transfigurations of the Kantian sublime despite the absence of the term. Antigone and the silhouettes from Either/Or embody what I coin the tragic sublime and sublime grief. The God-man in Practice in Christianity is interpreted as a sublime image of contradiction. The figures are submitted to aesthetic representation while their contradictory interior lives are unrepresentable. The Kierkegaardian sublime is built on a radical critique of aesthetic autonomy whose failure serves the end of ethico-religious self-formation." -- With a bonus offer--; Quellen und Studien zur Philosophie 151; 241 pages . 2023. 311116943X .

1767réf. 41578Mexico: Bibliotheca Mexicana 1767. Small 8vo. 12 ff. 160 pp. engr. leaf of errata lacks the engr. frontis. Otomí is one of the principal languages spoken in Central Mexico and this work more than any other standardized its orthography; it is also the classic Otomí grammar and dictionary and is by a man some authorities believe to have been himself an Otomí Indian or at least of Otomí heritage. It was written during the mid-18th-century renaissance of linguistic study of the languages of Mexico and Palau considers it "muy rara." It is much rarer on the market in our experience than similarly important works in Nahuatl. Both the engraved frontispiece which as often is lacking here and the handsome elaborately engraved errata leaf which is here present are signed by => the engraver Jose Francisco Gómez. => The Bibliotheca Mexicana was the private press of the great bibliographer writer and secular cleric Juan Jose de Eguiara y Eguren. Provenance: Small round ownership stamp of Michael Mathes in upper inner corner of the verso of the title-leaf. Medina Mexico 5174; García Icazbalceta Lenguas 55; Viñaza 356; Maggs Bibl. Amer.

The hazards of an Arctic summer First edition of this account the first search expedition sponsored by Lady Franklin based on the author's private journals. Snow volunteered for the voyage "prompted by a dream which he believed had shown him the true route. The idea came to dominate his whole life" ODNB. He served on the Prince Albert as second in command to Captain Charles Forsyth. The vessel sailed from June to September 1850 travelling through Baffin Bay and Barrow Strait and exploring the Boothia Peninsula. On the expedition's return Snow received the polar medal. "He was convinced that success had been hindered by Forsyth's refusal to go on and during the following years he vainly importuned the Admiralty to send him out again in command of any vessel however small and tried to organize unofficial searches" ODNB.

1941réf. 193033New York: Random House 1941. America's foremost writer on China in the 20th century First edition presentation copy inscribed by the author on the dedication page "For Henry W. Luce. With best wishes Edgar Snow. June 4 1941." The recipient 1868 - December 1941 served as a missionary in China until the late 1920s. His son Henry R. Luce shared his father's interest in Chinese affairs and used his control of Time and Life to bolster Western support for Chiang Kai-Shek. Throughout his career Snow enjoyed privileged access to top Communist Party leaders and he paved the way for Nixon's historic 1972 state visit dying one week before the president touched down in Beijing. He became internationally well-known after publishing Red Star Over China in 1937 and its sequel The Battle for Asia is a firsthand account of the early years of the Sino-Japanese War. Henry R. Luce and Snow led America's Asia commentariat in the 1930s and 1940s although they had different views on the strengths and merits of China's communist and nationalist parties. "Although The Battle for Asia was at the time an extraordinary attack on the Nationalists. the book sold briskly by early April. 'I want to tell you how deeply indebted I feel to you for that masterly book' Henry Luce a fervent supporter of the Generalissimo wrote to Snow" Hamilton p. 126. Large octavo. With 12 plates.
