Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Five Months in the Argentine: From a Woman's Point of View, 1918 to 1919 E were arriving! There it lay; this wonderful country of the future, younger than her North American Sister in finding herself as a free Republic, older in clinging to the traditions of the past. It was on the west coast of South America that our Ship was casting anchor. Valparaiso lay in the distance on that beautiful October morning. The rugged outlines of the Andes had followed us down the coast, every now and then losing themselves in the mist, every now and then rising to nu told heights covered with snow, uniting themselves with the clouds. A soft haze had wrapped the coast making the mountains elusive. One had tried to grasp them with a clearer vision only to have them fade away, making one feel more and more as though they were of the imagination rather than reality. It emphasized the land of romance, emphasized the feeling that it could only have been set tled by Spaniards. The barrenness of the Andes and the richness of their color brought back to the mind the hills and mountains of Spain. It seemed as if only the Spaniards could have conquered the physical difficulties that South America presented.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1920 edition. Excerpt: ... THE PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF WOMEN THE only university I visited was the Medical University, the Escuela Practica de Medicina, which has a very fine building situated opposite the Hospital Nacional de Clinica on the Calle Cordoba between Andes and Junin, in which the medical students receive their final training. This medical training is a seven years' course; that of the apothecary four years, and that of the midwife three. They have very few trained nurses as almost all such work is done by the Sisters of Charity. Dr. Moreau emphasized the medical importance of this hospital which is connected with the university, as standing out as a hospital where the Sisters of Charity are under the control of the doctors. In many of the other hospitals, which from the point of view of buildings may be more perfect, the Sisters of Charity have the last word, and if they do not agree with the doctor as to the medicine the patient requires, they can supersede his authority. In consequence, the doctors are making a tremendous fight against this. So far they have not been successful, owing to the prejudice of the wealthy women in favor of the Catholic Church, for many of these hospitals are under "La Sociedad de Beneficencia." We first went through the hospital, which is one of the oldest in Buenos Aires, and in consequence has more of the beauty which always seems to linger about the past. I often wonder whether the people of the past loved beauty more than we do today, that they were able to create an atmosphere which it is so difficult to find in modern times or buildings. The old, grey garden walls enclosed vistas of yew tree walks, down which one saw a priest walking in meditation, or old statues, grey with age, almost forgotten, breathing an...

Download or read book Duchamp Accelerated written by Julian Jason Haladyn and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-12-14 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marcel Duchamp is today considered one of the most significant 20th century artists worldwide. His far-reaching influence is visible within a variety of areas of creative production and critical inquiry, extending far beyond the world of art. Duchamp Accelerated: Contemporary Perspectives examines Duchamp and his reception through a series of essays that explore the ongoing impacts of his life, ideas and practice on innumerable fields of research, practice and study. Contributors include art historians, curators, artists and writers who offer histories and approaches that actively challenge dominant narratives on Duchamp, discussing his influences from a multitude of different disciplinary and cultural perspectives. Written in the specific context of the 21st century, this volume situates the artist firmly in a global context and highlights the numerous influences from theories of perception and the writings of Georges Bataille, to travels in Argentina that shaped his ideas and art. This volume pushes current understandings of Duchamp beyond existing limits by accelerating the histories, encounters, dialogues and interpretations of his practice, with a focus on contemporary perspectives. The 'accelerated' Duchamp that emerges from this analysis is one who not only speeds up notions of art in relation to cultural and political histories, but one whose practice is actively informing future developments in the worlds of art and material culture today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World War I did not bypass Latin America. Within days of the war's outbreak, European belligerents mobilized intelligence assets and secret diplomacy to compete for Latin America's allegiances and resources. This intelligence war entangled all of the American republics and even Japan. Dreary consular offices from the Rio Grande to the Straits of Magellan were abruptly thrust into covert activities, trafficking in fugitives, running contraband and conducting sabotage. Revolutionary and counter-revolutionary movements, big oil, international banks and businesses were also drawn in. Drawing on long-classified U.S. intelligence documents, this narrative of the Latin American intelligence war reveals the complexity and chaos behind the placid veneer of wartime Pan-America. The author connects the dots between Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Guatemala City, Lima, Havana, Santiago, Rio de Janeiro, Berlin, London, Washington, Tokyo and dozens of safe houses, front companies, consulates, legations and headquarters in between. Scores of unrecognized veterans of the intelligence war are revealed.

Download or read book A Dictionary of the Avant-Gardes written by Richard Kostelanetz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-11-15 with total page 1012 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty-five years after the publication of A Dictionary of the Avant-Gardes, the distinguished critic and arts historian Richard Kostelanetz returns to his favorite subject for a third edition. Rewriting earlier entries, adding hundreds of new ones, Kostelanetz provides intelligence and information unavailable anywhere else, no less in print than online, about a wealth of subjects and individuals. Focused upon what is truly innovative and excellent, he ranges widely with insight and surprise, including appreciations of artistic athletes such as Muhammad Ali, Johan Cruyff, and the Harlem Globetrotters and such collective creations as Las Vegas and his native New York City. Continuing the traditions of cheeky high-style Dictionarysts, honoring Samuel Johnson and Nicolas Slonimsky (both with individual entries), Kostelanetz offers a "reference book" to be enjoyed not only in bits and chunks, but continuously as one of the dozen books someone would take if they planned to be stranded on a desert isle.
