Book Synopsis Surface and Apparition by : Yeseung Lee
Download or read book Surface and Apparition written by Yeseung Lee and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-11-12 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surface is one of the most intensely debated topics in recent arts, humanities and social science scholarship. The changing technologies which manufacture the actual and virtual surfaces of today are radically altering our perception of thresholds and borders. In contrast to the responses to preceding industrial revolutions, contemporary concerns with surface seem preoccupied with its function of mediation or passage, rather than with that of separation or boundary. In Surface and Apparition, each chapter explores a different meaning and function of the material and immaterial qualities of 'surface'. Case studies include various surfaces from computer screens, 'artisanal' engines and glass architecture to gauzy veils, the planetary surface of supply chain capitalism, and spatial embodiment in street markets. International scholars of design, architecture, film, media, fine art, fashion, textiles, silversmithing, woodworking and archival practices account for how the material and the immaterial draw attention to each other in both their everyday and artistic practice. Each chapter addresses particular systems (from the human body to manually operated tools and machines); materials (for instance cloth, wood and light); modes of attention, movement and engagement. 'Surface' therefore functions in this book as a multidisciplinary method for attending to critical issues concerning human creative and technological endeavours.

Book Synopsis Social Ghosts and the Dead of World History by : Martyn Hudson
Download or read book Social Ghosts and the Dead of World History written by Martyn Hudson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-04-07 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social Ghosts and the Dead of World History looks at the global phenomena of the dead in world history, examining the phantasms and spirits of classical social science and philosophy. From Hegel’s ‘World-Spirit’ to Max Weber’s ‘Verstehen’ and Marx’s phantasms, there is a recurring obsession with the ‘spirits’ of modernity. This book explores the relationships and interactions between those spirits and materiality in five broad areas: the nature of the dead in modernity, shape-shifting and mobile souls, the spirit in accounts of prehistory and archaeology, the phenomenology of spirits and the relation to statues and stone, and the nature of spirit as it is manifested in wooden artefacts and folklore. It offers a counter-modernity to that of classical social science and philosophy and new ways of thinking about our crises and catastrophes in social theory and the world and the worlds beyond this world. Building on the author’s previous work on the sociology of haunted houses and landscapes, it examines the body and the individual as the locus of haunting. The book will appeal to academics in philosophy, history, social theory, anthropology and cultural studies in its omni-disciplinarity and in its import for rethinking the histories of social thought.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Late Style and its Discontents interrogates the critical cliche of "late style," questioning whether Titian, Beethoven, Goethe and others can usefully be assimilated to one another, as though their particular social and historical circumstances had been transcended by a singular existential predicament.
Book Synopsis The Fourth Dimension and Non-Euclidean Geometry in Modern Art, revised edition by : Linda Dalrymple Henderson
Download or read book The Fourth Dimension and Non-Euclidean Geometry in Modern Art, revised edition written by Linda Dalrymple Henderson and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2018-05-18 with total page 759 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The long-awaited new edition of a groundbreaking work on the impact of alternative concepts of space on modern art. In this groundbreaking study, first published in 1983 and unavailable for over a decade, Linda Dalrymple Henderson demonstrates that two concepts of space beyond immediate perception—the curved spaces of non-Euclidean geometry and, most important, a higher, fourth dimension of space—were central to the development of modern art. The possibility of a spatial fourth dimension suggested that our world might be merely a shadow or section of a higher dimensional existence. That iconoclastic idea encouraged radical innovation by a variety of early twentieth-century artists, ranging from French Cubists, Italian Futurists, and Marcel Duchamp, to Max Weber, Kazimir Malevich, and the artists of De Stijl and Surrealism. In an extensive new Reintroduction, Henderson surveys the impact of interest in higher dimensions of space in art and culture from the 1950s to 2000. Although largely eclipsed by relativity theory beginning in the 1920s, the spatial fourth dimension experienced a resurgence during the later 1950s and 1960s. In a remarkable turn of events, it has returned as an important theme in contemporary culture in the wake of the emergence in the 1980s of both string theory in physics (with its ten- or eleven-dimensional universes) and computer graphics. Henderson demonstrates the importance of this new conception of space for figures ranging from Buckminster Fuller, Robert Smithson, and the Park Place Gallery group in the 1960s to Tony Robbin and digital architect Marcos Novak.

Book Synopsis Chimie en microélectronique by : LE TIEC Yannick
Download or read book Chimie en microélectronique written by LE TIEC Yannick and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2013-07-01 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La microélectronique est un monde complexe dans lequel plusieurs sciences comme la physique, l’électronique, l’optique ou la mécanique, contribuent à créer des nano-objets fonctionnels. La chimie est particulièrement impliquée dans de nombreux domaines tels que la synthèse des matériaux, la pureté des fluides, des gaz, des sels, le suivi des réactions chimiques et de leurs équilibres ainsi que la préparation de surfaces optimisées et la gravure sélective de couches spécifiques. Au cours des dernières décennies, la taille des transistors s’est considérablement réduite et la fonctionnalité des circuits électroniques s’est accrue. Cette évolution a conduit à une interpénétration de la chimie et de la microélectronique exposée dans cet ouvrage. Chimie en microélectronique présente les chimies et les séquences utilisées lors des procédés de production de la microélectronique, des nettoyages jusqu’aux gravures des plaquettes de silicium, du rôle et de l’impact de leur niveau de pureté jusqu’aux procédés d’interconnexion des millions de transistors composant un circuit électronique. Afin d’illustrer la convergence avec le domaine de la santé, l’ouvrage expose les nouvelles fonctionnalisations spécifiques, tels que les capteurs biologiques ou les capteurs sur la personne.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An indispensable resource, this book provides wide coverage on aliens in fiction and popular culture. The wide impact that the imagined alien has had upon Western culture has not been surveyed before; in many cases the essays in Aliens in Popular Culture are the first written on the topic. The book is a compendium of short entries on notable uses of aliens in popular culture across different media and platforms by almost 90 researchers in the field. It covers science fiction from the late nineteenth century into the twenty-first century, including books, films, television, comics, games, and even advertisements. Individual essays point to the ways in which the imagined alien can be seen as a reflection of different fears and tensions within society, above all in the Anglo-American world. The book additionally provides an overview for context and suggestions for further reading. All varieties of readers will find it to be a comprehensive reference about the extra-terrestrial in popular culture.
