Book Synopsis Making Memory Matter by : Lisa Saltzman
Download or read book Making Memory Matter written by Lisa Saltzman and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2006-10-02 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an ancient account of painting’s origins, a woman traces the shadow of her departing lover on the wall in an act that anticipates future grief and commemoration. Lisa Saltzman shows here that nearly two thousand years after this story was first told, contemporary artists are returning to similar strategies of remembrance, ranging from vaudevillian silhouettes and sepulchral casts to incinerated architectures and ghostly processions. Exploring these artists’ work, Saltzman demonstrates that their methods have now eclipsed painting and traditional sculpture as preeminent forms of visual representation. She pays particular attention to the groundbreaking art of Krzysztof Wodiczko, who is known for his projections of historical subjects; Kara Walker, who creates powerful silhouetted images of racial violence in American history; and Rachel Whiteread, whose work centers on making casts of empty interior spaces. Each of the artists Saltzman discusses is struggling with the roles that history and memory have come to play in an age when any historical statement is subject to question and doubt. In identifying this new and powerful movement, she provides a framework for understanding the art of our time.

Intimacy with God is seldom experienced by Gods people because it is not talked about, we dont know what it is, and we dont know how to obtain it.

WHEN GOODNESS FINDS YOU invites you to live a life of intimacy with God. RETURN TO A LIFE OF INNOCENCE. FIND THE KIND OF RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD YOU WERE DESIGNED TO ENJOY. DISCOVER INTIMACY IN SIMPLE WAYS. IGNITE THE FIRE IN YOUR SOUL BY TAKING THE STEPS OF A CHILD. FIND OUT HOW TO POSITION YOURSELF FOR GODS GOODNESS TO FIND YOU. Intimacy with God isnt a topic that can be written about from a merely academic perspective. Scott Boucher communicates that with an ease and candor that can only come through a man who writes from experience.

Shawn Hennessy, lead pastor, Life Church, Green Bay, WI I highly recommend this book; it is birthed out of many years of Scotts experience. Rev. Arni Jacobson, international director of leadership, Grace International For those who have not yet experienced the pleasure and joy of partaking of the Lord in this way, you are in for the treat of your life. I believe this is the most important aspect of our Christian faith, and sadly, the most missed experience for those who call themselves Christian.

Book Synopsis How the Earth Feels by : Dana Luciano
Download or read book How the Earth Feels written by Dana Luciano and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2023-12-01 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In How the Earth Feels Dana Luciano examines the impacts of the new science of geology on nineteenth-century US culture. Drawing on early geological writings, Indigenous and settler accounts of earthquakes, African American antislavery literature, and other works, Luciano reveals how geology catalyzed transformative conversations regarding the intersections between humans and the nonhuman world. She shows that understanding the earth’s history geologically involved confronting the dynamic nature of inorganic matter over vast spans of time, challenging preconceived notions of human agency. Nineteenth-century Americans came to terms with these changes through a fusion of fact and imagination that Luciano calls geological fantasy. Geological fantasy transformed the science into a sensory experience, sponsoring affective and even erotic connections to the matter of the earth. At the same time, it was often used to justify accounts of evolution that posited a modern, civilized, and Anglo-American whiteness as the pinnacle of human development. By tracing geology’s relationship with biopower, Luciano illuminates how imagined connections with the earth shaped American dynamics of power, race, and colonization.

Book Synopsis What We Think About When We Try Not To Think About Global Warming by : Per Espen Stoknes
Download or read book What We Think About When We Try Not To Think About Global Warming written by Per Espen Stoknes and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2015 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Today, about 98 percent of scientists affirm that climate change is human made, and about 2 percent still question it. Despite that overwhelming majority, though, about half the population of rich countries, like ours, choose to believe the 2 percent. And, paradoxically, this large camp of deniers grows even larger as more and more alarming proof of climate change has cropped up over the last decades. This disconnect has both climate scientists and activists scratching their heads, growing anxious, and responding, usually, by repeating more facts to 'win' the argument. But, the more climate facts pile up, the greater the resistance to them grows, and the harder it becomes to enact measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and prepare communities for the inevitable change ahead. Is humanity up to the task? It is a catch-22 that starts, says psychologist and climate expert Per Espen Stoknes, from an inadequate understanding of the way most humans think, act, and live in the world around them. With dozens of examples, he shows how to retell the story of climate change and apply communication strategies more fit for the task."--Publisher's description.

Download or read book Chasing the Sea written by Tom Bissell and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1996, Tom Bissell went to Uzbekistan as a na•ve Peace Corps volunteer. Though he lasted only a few months before illness and personal crisis forced him home, Bissell found himself entranced by this remote land. Five years later he returned to explore the shrinking Aral Sea, destroyed by Soviet irrigation policies. Joining up with an exuberant translator named Rustam, Bissell slips more than once through the clutches of the Uzbek police as he makes his often wild way to the devastated sea. In Chasing the Sea, Bissell combines the story of his travels with a beguiling chronicle of Uzbekistan’s striking culture and long history of violent subjugation by despots from Jenghiz Khan to Joseph Stalin. Alternately amusing and sobering, this is a gripping portrait of a fascinating place, and the debut of a singularly gifted young writer.

Download or read book Damaged written by Raymond Russell and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2019-03-10 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the Emancipation Proclamation, there had been a responsibility bestowed on those who procured what its history entailed. The path left by these past challenges the status quo's idea inherited perhaps from a generation of schemes by people of different social and/or ethnic persuasion. It's neither sorrow nor callousness of the radicalized culture, for repression felt like decades of endless illusions precipitated by intrigue spans of collective thoughts genuinely theorized to help complete the cultural collapse of people of diverse ethnicities. But how could this incorrigible perception precipitate as the critical endeavor pre-Industrial Revolution? And the result encouraged generations of division, perhaps more than anyone expected, not the kind of economic prosperity desired when it meant depositing humans, a farce determined to degrade and demoralize a race. But why, when the manumission of the concept remained firm since eloquent men of this faculty later occupied a high position. The Emancipation Proclamation benefited Hispanics and Chinese as well, although ultimately, blacks were burdened and still are by the sting of suppression and hard life and by the constant antisocial chaos. The extreme tensions have not only changed the culture in the regions but have also spread vile behaviors that produce hope of nothingness. And when one thinks things are improving, the residuality of Generation X, Y, and the Millenia have toned up rhetoric that makes it worse. It's even more evident from the beginning that something has collateralized hatred. The intention and its selfish benefits have fostered superiority waves to benefit or uplift one set over another, thus, produced antisocial behaviors to model a comparative approach to someone's design. Imagine the many accolades earned and awards handed to individuals post-Emancipation, some deserving, that is, if we were to tweak the process and looked back in time to think on those who have helped to turn the process of progress. It's those often neglected though even if the thought meant generating a simple talking point, not of slander or ridicule, which would be wrong, and probably not by liberating them on an island. Undeservedly rather privilege them to live their last days in contentment and peace, but the sole purpose was to damage.
