Book Synopsis The Chronology of Water by : Lidia Yuknavitch
Download or read book The Chronology of Water written by Lidia Yuknavitch and published by Hawthorne Books. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is not your mother’s memoir. In The Chronology of Water, Lidia Yuknavitch, a lifelong swimmer and Olympic hopeful escapes her raging father and alcoholic and suicidal mother when she accepts a swimming scholarship which drug and alcohol addiction eventually cause her to lose. What follows is promiscuous sex with both men and women, some of them famous, and some of it S&M, and Lidia discovers the power of her sexuality to help her forget her pain. The forgetting doesn’t last, though, and it is her hard-earned career as a writer and a teacher, and the love of her husband and son, that ultimately create the life she needs to survive.
Download or read book Chronology written by Daniel Birnbaum and published by Sternberg. This book was released on 2007 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these multiple excursions through recent artist film-installations, Daniel Birnbaum pursues a problem that preoccupied Deleuze in post-war cinema: what is the logic of this peculiar time ?after finitude?, based neither in God nor Man, salvation nor destiny; and what does it mean for our brains and our lives to invent new ways to make it visible? With a light wry wit, he thus renews a question, at once aesthetic and philosophical, still very much with us.John Rajchman, Philosopher, Columbia UniversityBoth a deep insight into the future and a protest against forgetting (Eric Hobsbawm), Daniel Birnbaum's essay Chronology is quite simply the best art book of the year.Hans Ulrich Obrist, Co-director of exhibitions and director of international programs, Serpentine Gallery A philosophical essay on time, phenomenology and beyond, Daniel Birnbaum?s Chronology was reviewed in frieze as a ?compelling and sophisticated take on the common theme of Deleuzian immanence.? Brian Dillon, writer and criticWhereas many theoretical books littering the bookshops of art institutions are laudations of excess, Daniel Birnbaum?s convictions presented in Chronology cut a way through the ?caesuras of non-meaning and blankness into the thick web of sense.? The works of artists such as Paul Chan, Stan Douglas, Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Doug Aitken, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Tacita Dean, Darren Almond, Tobias Rehberger, Pierre Huyghe, and Philippe Parreno are scrutinized as so many attempts to capture the very dialectic of time itself. The book can be seen as ?an exploration of the crystallization of time that uses phenomenology as a pretext for saying things about artworks that create their own theories?.Fully illustrated, this 2nd edition features a new introduction where the author reflects on the book?s critical reception and further extends Deleuzian ideas to the fields of art and film. In his afterword on Paul Chan, Daniel Birnbaum discusses a new sense of messianic time, a new chronology, as experienced with The 7 Lights series by the artist.In addition to annotated artwork illustrations, the book contains a special insert by Paul Chan: twelve original drawings capturing the spatial metaphors evocated in the text. The book also features flip-book sequences from two films (Lady of Shanghai, 1947, Enter the Dragon, 1973) which elaborate on the Deleuzian themes of mirrors, death, and the crystallization of time.Daniel Birnbaum?s Chronology has become a productive point of reference and a source of inspiration for critics, curators, and ? perhaps more surprisingly ? dancers and choreographers. It has been reviewed extensively across Europe and has been translated into Russian and French, with German and Italian editions forthcoming.Daniel Birnbaum is Director of the Stadelschule and its Portikus gallery in Frankfurt am Main. A contributing editor of Artforum, he is the author of several books on art and philosophy, including The Hospitality of Presence: Problems of Otherness in Husserl?s Phenomenology (1998). He co-curated the 50th Venice Biennale (2003) and the 1st Moscow Biennale (2005). He is the co-organizer, with Christine Macel, of Airs de Paris (2007), an exhibition that celebrates the 30th anniversary of the Centre Pompidou.

Book Synopsis History without Chronology by : Stefan Tanaka
Download or read book History without Chronology written by Stefan Tanaka and published by Lever Press. This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although numerous disciplines recognize multiple ways of conceptualizing time, Stefan Tanaka argues that scholars still overwhelmingly operate on chronological and linear Newtonian or classical time that emerged during the Enlightenment. This short, approachable book implores the humanities and humanistic social sciences to actively embrace the richness of different times that are evident in non-modern societies and have become common in several scientific fields throughout the twentieth century. Tanaka first offers a history of chronology by showing how the social structures built on clocks and calendars gained material expression. Tanaka then proposes that we can move away from this chronology by considering how contemporary scientific understandings of time might be adapted to reconceive the present and pasts. This opens up a conversation that allows for the possibility of other ways to know about and re-present pasts. A multiplicity of times will help us broaden the historical horizon by embracing the heterogeneity of our lives and world via rethinking the complex interaction between stability, repetition, and change. This history without chronology also allows for incorporating the affordances of digital media.

Book Synopsis Descriptive Archaeoastronomy and Ancient Indian Chronology by : Amitabha Ghosh
Download or read book Descriptive Archaeoastronomy and Ancient Indian Chronology written by Amitabha Ghosh and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-07-04 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the basic fundamentals of descriptive archaeoastronomy and its application to the astronomical descriptions found in ancient Indian scriptures. Archaeoastronomy is a branch of positional astronomy that helps to determine the epochs of ancient astronomical alignments and special astronomical events. In this book, only the descriptions of special stellar alignments and events found in ancient texts can identify the antiquity of the descriptions. India possesses a large volume of ancient scriptures like Vedas and Puranas which contain many astronomical descriptions as in ancient India positional astronomy was well developed. The antiquities of these texts are determined through archaeoastronomical techniques. Major events like Mahabharata War are dated and using these dates a chronology of ancient India is determined. The astronomically determined chronology is compared with the results from various archaeological, palaeoclimatological, geological and genealogical investigations of ancient India. This introductory book interests readers interested in unveiling the mystery involved with the protohistory of this ancient civilization.
