Download or read book Oval Portrait written by Soleida Rios and published by Wings Press. This book was released on 2018-04-01 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oval Portrait was originally published as El retrato ovalado (Ediciones Union, Havana, Cuba, 2015). Editor Soleida Ríos set a difficult task for herself and nearly three dozen other Cuban women writers, artists, and thinkers. She asked each to "choose a mask. With it she spins her story so that her own image appears in the story as well as the connection (always mysterious) and the symbol with which she has chosen to represent herself." The result, beyond being a postmodernist tour de force, was "a perfect vehicle for introspection." As Ríos herself puts it: "The game requires us to go deep.... Shall we say: Rather than a portrait, construct a mirror, through which you may touch the difficult and shared places. And then, at the end, ask yourself the question: Which are your favorite lies?" By way of example, Jamila Medina Ríos writes in her piece: "I know (I have learned it well) the fate of my grandmother and her aunts, the fate of Maria and my mother, the blossoms of mythical women and women poets, of female warriors, of weak women and of the famous. My head shaved so as not to intimidate her with my abundant hair." The Oval Portrait has been exquisitely translated into English by Margaret Randall. As she writes: "In an era of special interest media and superficial travelogues, I believe The Oval Portrait offers readers a uniquely profound glimpse of the Cuban psyche."

Download or read book Life Drawing written by Gordon C.F. Bearn and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2013-03-26 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deleuze's publications have attracted enormous attention, but scant attention has been paid to the existential relevance of Deleuze's writings. In the lineage of Nietzsche, Life Drawing develops a fully affirmative Deleuzean aesthetics of existence.For Foucault and Nehamas, the challenge of an aesthetics of existence is to make your life, in one way or another, a work of art. In contrast, Bearn argues that art is too narrow a concept to guide this kind of existential project. He turns instead to the more generous notion of beauty, but he argues that the philosophical tradition has mostly misconceived beauty in terms of perfection. Heraclitus and Kant are well-known exceptions to this mistake, and Bearn suggests that because Heraclitean becoming is beyond conceptual characterization, it promises a sensualized experience akin to what Kant called free beauty. In this new aesthetics of existence, the challengeis to become beautiful by releasing a Deleuzean becoming: becoming becoming. Bearn's readings of philosophical texts--by Wittgenstein, Derrida, Plato, and others--will be of interest in their own right.
Book Synopsis Everyday Border Struggles by : Thom Tyerman
Download or read book Everyday Border Struggles written by Thom Tyerman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-07-29 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines everyday borders in the UK and Calais as sites of ethical political struggle between segregation and solidarity. In an age of mobility, borders appear to be everywhere. Encountered more and more in our everyday lives, borders locally enact global divisions and inequalities of power, wealth, and identity. Critically examining everyday borders in the UK and Calais, Tyerman shows them to be sites of ethical political struggle. From the Calais ‘jungle’ to the UK’s ‘hostile environment’, it shows how borders are carried out through practices of everyday segregation that make life for some but not others unliveable. At the same time, it reveals the practices of everyday solidarity with which people on the move confront these segregating borders. This book sheds light on the complex ways borders entrench themselves in our lives, the complicity of ordinary people in their enactment, and the seductive power they continue to assert over our political imaginations. Of general interest to scholars and students working on issues of migration, borders, citizenship, and security in international politics, sociology, and philosophy this book will also appeal to practitioners in areas of migrant rights, asylum advocacy, anti-detention or deportation campaigning, human rights, direct democracy, and community organising.

Book excerpt: Kees was, I believe, one of the four or five most talented members of his generation. And this is the great post-modern generation of American poets which includes Robert Lowell, Elizabeth Bishop, John Berryman, Randall Jarrell, and Theodore Roethke. That these other writers are so widely known and discussed while Kees is so forgotten seems strange indeed. -Dana Gioia, "The Achievement of Weldon Kees"
Book Synopsis Boundaries and Borders in the Post-Yugoslav Space by : Nenad Stefanov
Download or read book Boundaries and Borders in the Post-Yugoslav Space written by Nenad Stefanov and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-10-25 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The disintegration of Yugoslavia, accompanied by the emergence of new borders, is paradigmatically highlighting the relevance of borders in processes of societal change, crisis and conflict. This is even more the case, if we consider the violent practices that evolved out of populist discourse of ethnically homogenous bounded space in this process that happened in the wars in Yugoslavia in the 1990ies. Exploring the boundaries of Yugoslavia is not just relevant in the context of Balkan area studies, but the sketched phenomena acquire much wider importance, and can be helpful in order to better understand the dynamics of b/ordering societal space, that are so characteristic for our present situation.
Download or read book Borderline City written by Bentlin, Felix and published by Universitätsverlag der TU Berlin. This book was released on 2021-04-01 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even before the spread of COVID 19 across the globe during the crisis of 2020, cities and regions acted as venues and drivers for a dualistic development dynamic by both creating and dissolving borders. The results obtained from various university seminars and a European summer school form the basis for a crisis manuscript, while serving to review the planning and design activities in different European cities and regions. For the first time ever, a network of students from the urban planning and design departments at 19 European universities have defined common requirements for crisis-resistant and people-friendly urban planning in Europe: On the one hand, crisis-related experiences act as catalysts for fundamental social, economic, and ecological changes, and, on the other hand, they accelerate changes that are already underway with regard to urban development policies. The crisis and border situations explored in this joint investigation extend beyond the mere operating principles of European cities and regions. In fact, as an endurance test and didactic example, they provide a guide for crisis-proof urban renewal in Europe. They lead the way in building a bridge between the European architecture and planning disciplines to create vibrant border landscapes. Bereits vor der weltweiten Ausbreitung des Covid-19-Virus im Krisenjahr 2020 waren Städte und Regionen Austragungsorte und Treiber einer dualistischen Entwicklungsdynamik von Entgrenzung und Abgrenzung. Ergebnisse aus der Hochschullehre und einer europäischen Sommerschule eröffnen ein Palimpsest der Krisen und eine Überprüfung europäischer Planung und Gestaltung von Städten und Regionen. Erstmals erarbeitete ein Netzwerk aus Studierenden von 19 europäischen Universitäten im Bereich Planung und Stadtgestaltung eine Formulierung gemeinsamer Anforderungen für eine krisensichere und menschengerechte Stadtentwicklung in Europa: Einerseits sind Krisenerfahrungen Impulsgeber für grundlegende Veränderungen in Gesellschaft, Wirtschaft und Ökologie, andererseits wirken sie als Beschleuniger bereits vorhandener Veränderungen in der Stadtentwicklungspolitik. Die gemeinsam hinterfragten Krisen- und Grenzsituationen zeigen nicht nur die Funktionsweisen europäischer Städte und Regionen auf. Vielmehr vermitteln sie als Belastungs- und Lehrproben einen Leitfaden für einen krisenfesten Stadtumbau in Europa. Wegweisend entwickeln sie einen europäischen Brückenschlag der Architektur- und Planungsdisziplin zur Gestaltung lebendiger Grenzlandschaften.
