Book Synopsis Collage and Literature by : Scarlett Higgins
Download or read book Collage and Literature written by Scarlett Higgins and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-07-27 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collage and Literature analyzes how and why the history of literature and art changed irrevocably beginning in the early years of the twentieth century, and what that change has meant for late modernism and postmodernism. Starting from Pablo Picasso’s 1912 gesture, breaking the fundamental logic of representation, of pasting a piece of oilcloth onto a canvas, and moving up to Kenneth Goldsmith’s 2015 reading of an autopsy report of an unarmed young black man shot by police (which he framed as a poem entitled Michael Brown’s Body) this volume moves through a series of case studies encapsulating issues of juxtaposition and framing, the central ways identify collage. Its thesis is that collage—and, in fact, only collage—meaningfully overcomes formal and generic boundaries between the literary and the non-literary. The overwriting of these traditional boundaries happens in the service of collage’s anti-narrative drive, a drive that may be, in turn, interruptive or destructive. The expansion of collage’s horizons— broadly, to include the use of radical juxtaposition in the arts—reveals a surprisingly wide range of American artists and writers using the logic of juxtaposition as they imagine new worlds, disrupt accepted narratives about society and art, and create meaning through form as much as through paraphrasable content. In addressing a wide range of contested issues, recent artists realize the shocking force of collage. By recovering this shock, Collage and Literature restores collage to its multimedia origins in order to reveal its powerful and political affects.

Download or read book The Mind's Eye written by Oliver Sacks and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2010-10-26 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Mind’s Eye, Oliver Sacks tells the stories of people who are able to navigate the world and communicate with others despite losing what many of us consider indispensable senses and abilities: the power of speech, the capacity to recognize faces, the sense of three-dimensional space, the ability to read, the sense of sight. For all of these people, the challenge is to adapt to a radically new way of being in the world. There is Lilian, a concert pianist who becomes unable to read music and is eventually unable even to recognize everyday objects, and Sue, a neurobiologist who has never seen in three dimensions, until she suddenly acquires stereoscopic vision in her fifties. There is Pat, who reinvents herself as a loving grandmother and active member of her community, despite the fact that she has aphasia and cannot utter a sentence, and Howard, a prolific novelist who must find a way to continue his life as a writer even after a stroke destroys his ability to read. And there is Dr. Sacks himself, who tells the story of his own eye cancer and the bizarre and disconcerting effects of losing vision to one side. Sacks explores some very strange paradoxes—people who can see perfectly well but cannot recognize their own children, and blind people who become hyper-visual or who navigate by “tongue vision.” He also considers more fundamental questions: How do we see? How do we think? How important is internal imagery—or vision, for that matter? Why is it that, although writing is only five thousand years old, humans have a universal, seemingly innate, potential for reading? The Mind’s Eye is a testament to the complexity of vision and the brain and to the power of creativity and adaptation. And it provides a whole new perspective on the power of language and communication, as we try to imagine what it is to see with another person’s eyes, or another person’s mind.

Download or read book Other Realities written by Julie L'Enfant and published by Afton Historical Society Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Paul S. Kramer was an unparalleled modernist painter of the Minnesota scene during the second half of the twentieth century. A deep-dyed realist when many American artists had joined a radical avant-garde that sought to reject or subvert traditional art, he created his own dreamlike world. His unpretentious paintings of everyday life are forthright and honest, brilliantly executed, and often wryly humorous. Lavishly illustrated with images from both public and private collections, most never before published, Other Realities celebrates the breadth and depth of this exceptional Minnesota artist's work."--Back cover.

Book Synopsis Making Eye Health a Population Health Imperative by : National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
Download or read book Making Eye Health a Population Health Imperative written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2017-01-15 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability to see deeply affects how human beings perceive and interpret the world around them. For most people, eyesight is part of everyday communication, social activities, educational and professional pursuits, the care of others, and the maintenance of personal health, independence, and mobility. Functioning eyes and vision system can reduce an adult's risk of chronic health conditions, death, falls and injuries, social isolation, depression, and other psychological problems. In children, properly maintained eye and vision health contributes to a child's social development, academic achievement, and better health across the lifespan. The public generally recognizes its reliance on sight and fears its loss, but emphasis on eye and vision health, in general, has not been integrated into daily life to the same extent as other health promotion activities, such as teeth brushing; hand washing; physical and mental exercise; and various injury prevention behaviors. A larger population health approach is needed to engage a wide range of stakeholders in coordinated efforts that can sustain the scope of behavior change. The shaping of socioeconomic environments can eventually lead to new social norms that promote eye and vision health. Making Eye Health a Population Health Imperative: Vision for Tomorrow proposes a new population-centered framework to guide action and coordination among various, and sometimes competing, stakeholders in pursuit of improved eye and vision health and health equity in the United States. Building on the momentum of previous public health efforts, this report also introduces a model for action that highlights different levels of prevention activities across a range of stakeholders and provides specific examples of how population health strategies can be translated into cohesive areas for action at federal, state, and local levels.
Book Synopsis Purkinje's Vision by : Nicholas J. Wade
Download or read book Purkinje's Vision written by Nicholas J. Wade and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2001-04-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The life of Jan Evangelista Purkinje (1787-1869) has fascinated students from many disciplines. Histologists marvel at his early descriptions of cells; physiologists admire his attempts to relate structure to function; pharmacologists view in awe his heroic experiments on self-administered drugs; forensic scientists acknowledge his role in the use of fingerprints for identification; and Czech patriots salute his awakening of pride in their nation. Yet all these achievements followed his initial enquiries into vision. It is this psychological dimension that fostered this collaboration. As the title suggests, the present volume is bifocal. In the narrow sense it refers to Purkinje's studies of vision, but in its broader view it concerns Purkinje's anticipation of neuroscience. Purkinje provided evidence to support both its cellular and its conceptual base. At the cellular level his acute vision is immortalized within our bodies. At the conceptual level, he sought to relate subjective phenomena to their objective underpinnings--to link psychology to physiology. Vision provides a bond that unites psychology and physiology, and it is this bond that was strengthened by Purkinje's enquiries. The authors have tried to provide a context in which Purkinje's descriptions of visual phenomena can be placed. In some cases this exposes clear precursors of research for which Purkinje has been credited. In others, there was nothing to suggest the phenomena that he exposed. The book translates Purkinje's initial masterpiece on subjective vision and places it in the context of emerging views of neuroscience.

Book Synopsis The Persistence of Vision by : Lisa Gery
Download or read book The Persistence of Vision written by Lisa Gery and published by . This book was released on 2018-12-06 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A riveting story of love, betrayal, and redemption, with a twist you won't see coming. Months before the horrific fire that destroyed the Walt Theater on opening night in the summer of 1908, the chain reaction that led to the disaster was already in motion. Henry Bartolet, the construction manager on the project, is desperate to save his crumbling marriage. Thinking his wife's discontent stems from his struggles to provide for their family, he will stop at nothing to ensure the project is a success - or risk losing his job and his family if he fails. His wife, Annie, is caught in the grip of postpartum melancholia, and unable to communicate her struggles without feeling she has failed as a woman. She buries her pain in denial and laudanum and believes Henry is the one pushing her away. When Henry's cousin Daniel comes to stay with them for the summer, tensions reach a boiling point. A dark-haired playboy with a distaste for work, he soon develops an intimate kinship with lonely Annie - but the secrets from his past threaten to unveil the dark truth Henry has been hiding, and tear their marriage apart. Inspired by the tragic events of the Boyertown Opera House Fire and the Chicago Iroquois Theater Fire, The Persistence of Vision examines how even the most inconsequential moments can have far-reaching ramifications, and what the hope of redemption can drive a man to do. Praise for The Persistence of Vision "Oh, boy. This book is quite the ride. The Persistence of Vision evokes a wide range of emotions and incorporates multiple worldviews into a coherent yet surprising narrative. I finished this book close to two weeks ago, and I had to let it sit in the back of my mind for a while in order to process it..." -- Reviews from the Stacks "Lisa Gery has written a very engaging, historically accurate novel set in the early 20th century. The people are human and easy to relate to. This is no fairy tale or romance novel... There are no cliches here, and the ending will surprise you with, indeed, a novel twist." -- Charles Byler, author of Tempered Steel: The Three Wars of Triple Air Force Cross Winner Jim Kasler "This is one of the best books I've read in years. I am not at all likely to pick up historical fiction, but when two book club members told me they were really enjoying it, I decided to try it. I am so glad I did! I really connected with the characters and appreciated both their complexity and simplicity. The author's storytelling style is very unique and appealing, and I was intrigued from beginning to end. I grabbed every moment I could in a busy week to read this and every minute was worth it." -- CSM, Amazon reviewer
