Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sovvertendo le teorie classiche sul rapporto tra arte e attitudine estetica e tra linguaggio e cultura, Lorenzo Bartalesi offre una narrazione inedita e appassionante del cammino evolutivo della nostra specie, e getta cosí le basi di una storia naturale dell'estetica ricca di sorprese e nuove prospettive. Davvero la capacità di apprezzare la bellezza del mondo è riservata esclusivamente alla nostra specie? Se cosí fosse, come spiegare la straordinaria varietà degli ornamenti animali apparentemente privi di una funzione di sopravvivenza? Questo enigma è al centro del pensiero di Charles Darwin che, parlando per la prima volta di senso estetico animale, scuote dalle fondamenta la filosofia dell'arte tradizionale. L'estetica tocca in Darwin un punto di non ritorno: non piú filosofia del bello e delle arti, ma una capacità di cruciale importanza nella storia evolutiva degli esseri viventi. Dalla celebre spedizione darwiniana intorno al mondo alle piú recenti acquisizioni delle scienze cognitive, dell'archeologia preistorica, dell'antropologia, della psicologia sperimentale e persino dell'ornitologia, questo libro si interroga sul passaggio dal senso estetico animale alla nascita dell'arte, e rivela il ruolo decisivo della bellezza nella nostra stessa evoluzione.

Book excerpt: Birds of the world are portrayed in all their colorful glory by Tim Flach, the world’s leading animal photographer Radiating grace, intelligence, and humor, and always in motion, birds tantalize the human imagination. Working for years in his studio and the field, Tim Flach has portrayed nature’s most exquisite creatures alertly at rest or dramatically in flight, capturing intricate feather patterns and subtle coloration invisible to the naked eye. From familiar friends to marvelous rarities, Flach’s birds convey the beauty and wonder of the natural world. Here are all manner of songbirds, parrots, and birds of paradise; birds of prey, water birds, and theatrical domestic breeds. The brilliant ornithologist Richard O. Prum is our guide to this magical kingdom.

Download or read book Race, Nation and Gender in Modern Italy written by Gaia Giuliani and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-29 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finalist for the 2019 Edinburgh Gadda Prize This book explores intersectional constructions of race and whiteness in modern and contemporary Italy. It contributes to transnational and interdisciplinary reflections on these issues through an analysis of political debates and social practices, focusing in particular on visual materials from the unification of Italy (1861) to the present day. Giuliani draws attention to rearticulations of the transnationally constructed Italian ‘colonial archive’ in Italian racialised identity-politics and cultural racisms across processes of nation building, emigration, colonial expansion, and the construction of the first post-fascist Italian society. The author considers the ‘figures of race’ peopling the Italian colonial archive as composing past and present ideas and representations of (white) Italianness and racialised/gendered Otherness. Students and scholars across a range of disciplines, including Italian studies, political philosophy, sociology, history, visual and cultural studies, race and whiteness studies and gender studies, will find this book of interest.

Book excerpt: A celebration of renowned sculptor and educator Kent Bloomer's work, examining the role of ornament in contemporary architecture and society Best known for New York's Central Park luminaires (1982), the ornamentation at Rice University's Baker Hall in Houston (1997), and his work on Yale University's Bass Library entrance pavilion and Sterling Memorial Library stairwell entrance (2007), the sculptor Kent Bloomer (b. 1935) has not only influenced the discussion around ornament in contemporary architectural practice, but has inspired developments in a range of disciplines that include history, music, art, philosophy, and biology. With a retrospective look at Bloomer's work as a point of departure, scholars from a variety of different fields explore his contributions to the history of ornament as both a social and an artistic phenomenon. Through the lens of Bloomer's groundbreaking oeuvre, this volume reorients the discourse of ornament from a contentious vestige of modernity toward its active relationship to architecture, landscape, urbanism, and a sense of place.
