E-book Encyclopedia of Clothing and Fashion vol. 2

A perusal of academic books in fashion studies over the last decade reveals that the term “fad” itself may have fallen out of style. Even Arthur Berger’s text Ads, Fads, and Consumer Culture includes little mention of fads. Still, popular media feature lists of “what’s hot” versus “what’s not.” Why aren’t these called fads? Perhaps the timespace nexus associated with contemp…

E-book Encyclopedia of Clothing and Fashion

Historically, schools of higher learning were referred to as stadium generale or universitas; titles conferred by the Pope of the day, with the latter being the higher honor. This early association with religion can still be seen in the similarities between academic dress and church robes. However, the early schools were not religious orders as a rule, but rather scholastic guilds made up of st…

E-book The Graphic Design : Idea Book

Albers advanced the idea that colour is continually deceptive, and that the exact same colour can evoke innumerable responses depending on how it is seen against other colours. He argued against ‘mechanically applying or merely implying laws and rules of colour harmony’, because of the subjective nature of perception – it is almost impossible to see a colour by itself and not interacting …

E-book Making a Laboratory : Dynamic Configurations with Transversal Video

e concept of the laboratory has a long history in theater and performance. Philosopher of science Robert Crease devoted a volume to developing an analogy between scientific experiments and theatri-cal processes, according to which a laboratory “is a particular space of action” (1993: 106, italics original). But the analogy between laboratory and theater is as problematic for philosophers of…

E-book Upon Entropy : Architectonics of the Image in the Age of Information

In computerized societies, Lyotard w rites, knowledge ceases to have an end in itself and starts to be produced in order to be sold and consumed. Exchange becomes its ultimate goal: the introduc-tion of the computer and information technology defines not only a society but a condition at large and a stage of progress in which knowledge turns into a commodity. According to Lyotard, such a con…

E-book The Digital, a Continent? : Nature and Poetics

Contingent observations like this can be traced to the beginnings of Greek speculative thought—dating back to the Milesian school—where some of “those [philosophers] who discoursed on nature” discovered them in a geometric relation. Similarly, architecture, building from its cosmic foundations and position relative to the sun, also participates in such climatic affairs. As the light of …

E-book Stories

Storytelling was clearly of major importance in the development of cinema and television, as well as new forms of printed and graphic media, during the early twentieth century. But even if these media were new (or, more accurately, new inf lections of existing screen and print forms), storytelling is as old and universal as any sense of consciousness, according to the neuroscientist, Antonio Da…

In fact, every form of literature or visual media is in a way impacted by the time o…

E-Book Spaces: Exploring Spatial Experiences of Representation and Reception …

Film has long been defined as a temporal art, most famously by André Bazin and Andrei Tarkovsky. Yet more fundamentally it has always been a spatial art, transporting its audiences imaginatively to spaces and places other than those they literally inhabit. In the digital era, this spatial illusion and paradox has been greatly expanded – by the predominance of domestic film viewing, along wit…

E-Book Risible: Laughter without Reason and the Reproduction of Sound

E-Book Animism, Materiality, and Museums: How Do Byzantine Things Feel?

Among our most cherished modern assumptions is our distance from the material world we claim to love or, alternately, to dominate and own. As both devotional tool and art object, the Byzantine icon is rendered complicit in this distancing. According to well-established theological and scholarly explanations, the icon is a window onto the divine: it focuses and directs our minds to a higher unde…

E-book Masterpieces of the J. Paul Getty Museum : European Sculpture

I forget who first jokingly defined sculpture as something you bump into when you step back to look at a painting. I n any case, like most witticisms, this one contains a germ o f truth: both the general public and scholars pay more attention to painting than to sculpture. There are undoubtedly many reasons for this. We are a society geared to experiencing things on a flat plane rather than in …
