Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No single living artist has created as many myths, rumours and legends as Banksy. Many of the tales in this book are from Bristol, some are from further afield. What they share is that they are all told with the wide eyed wonder which Banksy inspires. Collated between 2009 and 2011 some of these stories are quite old and have been told so many times they have become the stuff of legend, others are more questionable and best described as myths. Some are laugh out loud bollocks and others are simply gossip. You be the judge.

Download or read book Banksy. Myths and Legends Volume 3 written by MARC. LEVERTON and published by Carpet Bombing Culture. This book was released on 2023-10-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No single living artist has created as many myths, rumours and legends as Banksy. In 2011, Bristol based writer Marc Leverton published a collection of the best of these stories together. Since then, the Banksy juggernaut shows no signs of slowing down and has continued to bring us sharp satire, unintentional furores, blatant profiteering, plus many more myths and legends. That is before we even get to looking at the art. For many, the theatre that surrounds Banksy's work is just as fascinating as the artwork itself and it is this unique position that makes Banksy the 21st century's most important living artist. This new edition (Vol 3.) covers the years 2015-2023. During this period Banksy has adapted his approach to attempt to be one step ahead of the profiteers who attack, or cut out his popular street work. There are still street pieces, often designed to be temporary or hard to access (boats, bridges even a hospital). The artist has also created events (Dismaland, the Sotheby's shredding incident), shops (Gross Domestic Product shop) and tours (Staycation). He has also taken his work into conflict zones (Ukraine, Syria and Calais 'Jungle'. Social media plays a part in creating a heightened reaction to his work from Banksy fans. They rush to the work, often trying to protect it, and often failing, but having a ball in the process. The book also celebrates the japes of Banksy fans who, for 15 minutes, can get to experience the thrill of street art. The writer collects the stories from contacts and friends in Bristol and Banksy fans worldwide. The small black book format is an homage to Banksy's own first books which are now out of print. All volumes reproduce high quality images of Banksy's street work and other items of interest to Banksy fans.
Book Synopsis Provocation in Popular Culture by : Bim Mason
Download or read book Provocation in Popular Culture written by Bim Mason and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-07-24 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What role can provocation play in the process of renewal, both of individuals and of societies? Provocation in Popular Culture is an investigation into the practice of specific provocateurs and the wider nature of cultural provocation, examining, among others: Banksy Sacha Baron Cohen Leo Bassi Pussy Riot Philippe Petit Archaos. Drawing on Bim Mason’s own twenty-five year career as performer, teacher and creative director, this book explores the power negotiations involved in the relationship between provocateur and provoked, and the implications of maintaining a position on the ‘edge’. Using neuroscience as a bridge, it proposes a similarity between complexity theory and cultural theories of play and risk. Three inter-related analogies for the ‘edge’ on which these performers operate – the fulcrum, the blade and the border – reveal the shifts between structure and fluidity, and the ways in which these can combine in a single moment.
Book Synopsis Death in Contemporary Popular Culture by : Adriana Teodorescu
Download or read book Death in Contemporary Popular Culture written by Adriana Teodorescu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-11-26 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With intense and violent portrayals of death becoming ever more common on television and in cinema and the growth of death-centric movies, series, texts, songs, and video clips attracting a wide and enthusiastic global reception, we might well ask whether death has ceased to be a taboo. What makes thanatic themes so desirable in popular culture? Do representations of the macabre and gore perpetuate or sublimate violent desires? Has contemporary popular culture removed our unease with death? Can social media help us cope with our mortality, or can music and art present death as an aesthetic phenomenon? This volume adopts an interdisciplinary approach to the discussion of the social, cultural, aesthetic, and theoretical aspects of the ways in which popular culture understands, represents, and manages death, bringing together contributions from around the world focused on television, cinema, popular literature, social media and the internet, art, music, and advertising.
Book Synopsis The Space that Separates: A Realist Theory of Art by : Nick Wilson
Download or read book The Space that Separates: A Realist Theory of Art written by Nick Wilson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-08-23 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Space that Separates: A Realist Theory of Art radically challenges our assumptions about what art is, what art does, who is doing it, and why it matters. Rejecting the modernist and market-driven misconception that art is only what artists do, Wilson instead presents a realist case for living artfully. Art is defined as the skilled practice of giving shareable form to our experiences of being-in-relation with the real; that is to say, the causally generative domain of the world that extends beyond our direct observation, comprising relations, structures, mechanisms, possibilities, powers, processes, systems, forces, values, ways of being. In communicating such aesthetic experience we behold life’s betweenness – "the space that separates", so coming to know ourselves as connected. Providing the first dedicated and comprehensive account of art and aesthetics from a critical realist perspective – Aesthetic Critical Realism (ACR), Wilson argues for a profound paradigm shift in how we understand and care for culture in terms of our system(s) of value recognition. Fortunately, we have just the right tool to help us achieve this transformation – and it’s called art. Offering novel explanatory accounts of art, aesthetic experience, value, play, culture, creativity, artistic truth and beauty, this book will appeal to a wide audience of students and scholars of art, aesthetics, human development, philosophy and critical realism, as well as cultural practitioners and policy-makers.
Download or read book Hitchhiking written by Patrick Laviolette and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-09-02 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first English-language social science book to comprehensively explore hitchhiking in the contemporary era in the West, this volume covers a lot of ground—it goes to and fro, in an echo of the modus operandi of most hitchhiking journeys. As scarification, piercings, and tattoos move from the counter-culture to popular culture, hitchhiking has remained an activity apart. Yet, with the assistance of virtual platforms and through its ever-growing memorialisation in literature and the arts, hitchhiking persists into the 21st century, despite the many social anxieties surrounding it. The themes addressed here thus include: adventure; gender; fear and trust; freedom and existential travel; road and transport infrastructures; communities of protest and resistance; civic surveillance and risk ecologies.
Book Synopsis Cultural Mega-Events and Heritage by : Davide Ponzini
Download or read book Cultural Mega-Events and Heritage written by Davide Ponzini and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-03-21 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses case studies of heritage-rich cities that hosted mega-events to discuss emerging challenges, controversies, and accomplishments. The future of mega-events has never been more uncertain. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has introduced an unparalleled level of doubt regarding the kind of mega-events that will take place in the coming years. This book arrives at a quite unique moment of reflection. Prior to 2020, cities were already questioning the traditional format of mega-events (e.g. Olympics and Expo) while other cultural mega-events have been spreading and gaining popularity, thanks in part to typically lower costs of infrastructures and venues, far more adaptable arrangements, spatial distribution and time frame for hosting. In these ways, they have already been demonstrating higher flexibility in which to respond to future health and safety constraints. When it comes to the relation to the existing city, cultural mega-events have been planned, implemented, and studied far more than any other. By leveraging the richness of cultural mega-events, this multidisciplinary collection deepens the intersection between events and cultural heritage. The chapters in this book provide a new theoretical framework, critical questions, and relevant case studies to argue that the nexus between mega-events and heritage is a key challenge for many cities in Europe and beyond. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of European Planning Studies.

Download or read book Banksy written by Marc Leverton and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-20 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aucun autre artiste vivant n'a donné lieu à autant de rumeurs, de légendes et de mythes que Banksy. Banksy est le pseudonyme d'un artiste connu pour son art urbain et comme peintre et réalisateur. Originaire de la région de Bristol, il fait partie d'un groupe de graffeurs et aurait été influencé par la scène underground de sa ville natale. Il y réalisa ses premières oeuvres, pour la plupart réalisées avec des pochoirs. A Bristol, pratiquement tout le monde a une histoire à raconter à son sujet. Certaines anecdotes anciennes ont été racontées si souvent qu'elles sont devenues de véritables légendes ; d'autres, plus sujettes à caution, méritent le qualificatif de mythes. Toutes ces histoires illustrent l'incroyable audace, l'originalité et l'insouciance de Banksy qui entrera sans nul doute dans les mémoires d'abord pour son talent artistique mais aussi parce qu'il dénonce l'hypocrisie et la bêtise de notre monde moderne. Que vous considériez les mythes comme faisant partie intégrante de l'oeuvre de l'artiste ou que vous lisiez ce livre simplement pour vous distraire, une chose est sûre : l'art et les mythes dépassent la réalité et envoient au diable le conformisme. Ce livre est une célébration de cet esprit rebelle.
Book Synopsis Language in Place by : Daniela Francesca Virdis
Download or read book Language in Place written by Daniela Francesca Virdis and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2021-04-15 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributions in this collection offer a wide range of stylistic perspectives on landscape, place and environment, by focusing on a variety of text-types ranging from poetry, the Bible, fictional and non-fictional prose, to newspaper articles, condo names, online texts and exhibitions. Employing both established and cutting-edge methodologies from, among others, corpus linguistics, metaphor studies, Text World Theory and ecostylistics, the eleven chapters in the volume provide an overview of how landscape, place and environment are encoded and can be investigated in literary and non-literary discourse. The studies collected here stand as evidence of the possibility of, and the need for, a “stylistics of landscape”, which emphasises how represented spaces are made manifest linguistically; a “stylistics of place”, which focuses on the discursive and affective qualities of those represented spaces; and a “stylistics of environment”, which reiterates the urgency for environmentally-responsible humanities, able to support a change in the anthropocentric narrative which poses humans as the most important variable in the human-animal and human-environment relationships.
