Memories are moments that build on one another to create the foundation of who we are at any given point in life. Memories - good, bad, and neutral - meld within our minds and hearts housing love, hate, pleasure, fear, anger, and happiness. With each memory we make, we become more compassionate, and therefore more connected to the world around us. Our strengths and weaknesses live in our memories creating the complexity and simplicity that encompasses the full human experience. Come along to discover how moments blossom into growth or become merely a memory in silhouette…

Download or read book Beyond Memory written by Diane Neumaier and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photography possesses a powerful ability to bear witness, aid remembrance, shape, and even alter recollection. In Beyond Memory: Soviet Nonconformist Photography and Photo-Related Works of Art, the general editor, Diane Neumaier, and twenty-three contributors offer a rigorous examination of the medium's role in late Soviet unofficial art. Focusing on the period between the mid-1950s and the late 1980s, they explore artists' unusually inventive and resourceful uses of photography within a highly developed Soviet dissident culture. During this time, lack of high-quality photographic materials, complimented by tremendous creative impulses, prompted artists to explore experimental photo-processes such as camera and darkroom manipulations, photomontage, and hand-coloring. Photography also took on a provocative array of forms including photo installation, artist-made samizdat (self-published) books, photo-realist painting, and many other surprising applications of the flexible medium. Beyond Memory shows how innovative conceptual moves and approaches to form and content-echoes of Soviet society's coded communication and a Russian sense of absurdity-were common in the Soviet cultural underground. Collectively, the works in this anthology demonstrate how late-Soviet artists employed irony and invention to make positive use of difficult circumstances. In the process, the volume illuminates the multiple characters of photography itself and highlights the leading role that the medium has come to play in the international art world today. Beyond Memory stands on its own as a rigorous examination of photography's place in late Soviet unofficial art, while also serving as a supplement to the traveling exhibition of the same title.
Book Synopsis Memory and Memorials by : Matthew J. B. Campbell
Download or read book Memory and Memorials written by Matthew J. B. Campbell and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 2004 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the "long" nineteenth century, from the French Revolution to the beginnings of Modernism, this book examines the significance of memory in this era of turbulent social change. Through investigation of science, literature, history and the visual arts, the authors explore theories of memory and the cultural and literary resonances of memorializing. Drawing on the work of many of the most influential literary figures of the period, such as Tennyson, Scott, and Hardy, Memory and Memorials explores key topics such as: gender and memory; Victorian psychological theories of memory; and cultural constructions in literature, science, history and architecture. Memory and Memorials: From the French Revolution to World War One employs a range of new and influential interdisciplinary methodologies. It offers both a fresh theoretical understanding of the period, and a wealth of empirical material of use to the historian, literary critic or social psychologist. Matthew Campbell lectures in English literature at the University of Sheffield. He is the author of Rhythm and Will in Victorian Poetry. Jacqueline M. Labbe is senior lecturer in English at Warwick University. She is the author of The Romantic Paradox: Love, Violence and the Uses of Romance, 1760-1830.

Book excerpt: This cowboy knows more than he's telling…. McCAIN WASN'T A MURDERER, BUT… Defense attorney Lauren Hamilton had a weakness for sexy bad boys, and her latest client certainly fit the bill. Helplessly drawn to accused killer Jon McCain, she believed his claim of innocence—and that he really had forgotten his past. Still, she sensed the disoriented cowboy was hiding something…. WHO WAS HE? Jon couldn't tell his beautiful lady lawyer everything. Though he knew he wasn't capable of murder, he had regained some memories, and they were proving much more disturbing than the prospect of a life sentence. For these flashes of his past could make a future with Lauren impossible.

Book Synopsis New Forms of Revolt by : Sarah K. Hansen
Download or read book New Forms of Revolt written by Sarah K. Hansen and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2017-05-24 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essays explore the significance of Julia Kristevas concept of intimate revolt for social and political philosophy. Over the last twenty years, French philosopher, psychoanalyst, and novelist Julia Kristeva has explored how global crises threaten peoples ability to revolt. In a context of widespread war, deepening poverty, environmental catastrophes, and rising fundamentalisms, she argues that a revival of inner psychic experience is necessary and empowering. Intimate revolt has become a central concept in Kristevas critical repertoire, framing and permeating her understanding of power, meaning, and identity. New Forms of Revolt brings together ten essays on this aspect of Kristevas work, addressing contemporary social and political issues like immigration and cross-cultural encounters, colonial and postcolonial imaginations, racism and artistic representation, healthcare and social justice, the spectacle of global capitalism, and new media. This book is important for Kristeva scholars, as it expands and deepens areas of her work that have been dismissed by her critics. Further, it links Kristevas philosophy to historical philosophers, contemporaries, and how her philosophy applies to pressing problems today. All of the essays are well done and valuable.

Book Synopsis Medial measures for recognition, mapping and categorization by : Morteza Rezanejad
Download or read book Medial measures for recognition, mapping and categorization written by Morteza Rezanejad and published by McGill University. This book was released on with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visual shape analysis plays a fundamental role in perception by man and by computer, allowing for inferences about properties of objects and scenes in the physical world. Mathematical approaches to describing visual form can benefit from the use of representations that simultaneously capture properties of an object's outline as well as its interior. Motivated by the success of medial models, this doctoral thesis revisits a quantity related to medial axis computations, the average outward flux of the gradient of the Euclidean distance function from a boundary, and then addresses three distinct problems using this measure. First, I consider the problem of view sphere partitioning for view-based object recognition from sparse views. View-based 3D object recognition requires a selection of model object views against which to match a query view. Ideally, for this to be computationally efficient, such a selection should be sparse. To address this problem, I introduce a novel hierarchical partitioning of the view sphere into regions within which the silhouette of a model object is qualitatively unchanged. To achieve this, I propose a part-based abstraction of a skeleton, as a graph, dubbed the Flux Graph, which allows for views to be grouped. Next, I consider the problem of mapping an initially-unknown 2D environment from possibly noisy sensed samples via an on-line procedure which robustly computes a retraction of its boundaries to obtain a topological representation. Here I motto an algorithm that allows for online map construction with loop closure. I demonstrate that the proposed method allows the robot to localize itself on a partially constructed map to calculate a path to unexplored parts of the environment (frontiers), to compute a robust terminating condition when the robot has fully explored the environment, and finally to achieve loop closure detection. I also show that the resulting map is stable under disturbances to the sensed boundary, and to variations in starting locations for exploration. Finally, I consider the problem of scene categorization from complex line drawings. In the context of human vision, we show that local ribbon symmetry between neighboring pairs of contours facilitates the categorization of complex real-world environments by human observers. In the context of computer vision, I demonstrate a high level of performance in the problem of convolutional neural network-based recognition of natural scenes from line drawings, even in the absence of color, texture and shading information.
Download or read book Imaginary Athens written by Jin-Sung Chun and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-25 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book comprehensively examines architecture, urban planning, and civic perception in three modern cities as they transform into national capitals through an entangled, transnational process that involves an imaginative geography based on embellished memories of classical Athens. Schinkel’s classicist architecture in Berlin, especially the principle of tectonics at its core, came to be adopted effectively at faraway cities in East Asia, merging with the notion of national polity as Imperial Japan sought to reinvent Tokyo and mutating into an inevitable reflection of modern civilization upon reaching colonial Seoul, all of which give reason to ruminate over the phantasmagoria of modernity.
Book Synopsis The Philosophical Hitchcock by : Robert B. Pippin
Download or read book The Philosophical Hitchcock written by Robert B. Pippin and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2019-08-10 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the surface, The Philosophical Hitchcock: Vertigo and the Anxieties of Unknowingness, is a close reading of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1958 masterpiece Vertigo. This, however, is a book by Robert B. Pippin, one of our most penetrating and creative philosophers, and so it is also much more. Even as he provides detailed readings of each scene in the film, and its story of obsession and fantasy, Pippin reflects more broadly on the modern world depicted in Hitchcock’s films. Hitchcock’s characters, Pippin shows us, repeatedly face problems and dangers rooted in our general failure to understand others—or even ourselves—very well, or to make effective use of what little we do understand. Vertigo, with its impersonations, deceptions, and fantasies, embodies a general, common struggle for mutual understanding in the late modern social world of ever more complex dependencies. By treating this problem through a filmed fictional narrative, rather than discursively, Pippin argues, Hitchcock is able to help us see the systematic and deep mutual misunderstanding and self-deceit that we are subject to when we try to establish the knowledge necessary for love, trust, and commitment, and what it might be to live in such a state of unknowingness. A bold, brilliant exploration of one of the most admired works of cinema, The Philosophical Hitchcock will lead philosophers and cinephiles alike to a new appreciation of Vertigo and its meanings.

Book excerpt: "Burning down Black Snake trailer was easy. The hard thing was walking away, when what I wanted most was to watch it die... " When Angel sets fire to her childhood home, it isn't the end -- it's the beginning. Left with nothing but a few memories in her pocket, Angel escapes into the fields of tobacco, the only place she has ever felt safe. Hidden by those green-gold leaves, she sets her eyes on the mountains and believes someone waits for her there. Angel will do whatever she has to until she finds her. She longs to empty her pockets, hand over the answers to what became of her, and whisper, This is my story. As Angel journeys toward the mountains, Hannah is struggling to tell her own story. The daughter of missionaries who follow the rules of a small and strict religious sect, modesty is prized above all else. Wearing floor length polyester skirts, and never cutting her hair, Hannah is forced to live a separate life from her peers. Until the summer her family moves to James Island, South Carolina. Slowly, Hannah begins to escape the confines of her strict upbringing, and soon makes a choice that will forever change the course of her life. As these two women's paths connect, Hannah's past will prove to mean everything to Angel's future.
