Download or read book Persian Carpets written by Minoo Moallem and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-16 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Persian Carpets: the Nation As a Transnational Commodity tracks the Persian carpet as an exotic and mythological object, as a commodity, and as an image from mid-nineteenth-century England to contemporary Iran and the Iranian diaspora. Following the journey of this single object, the book brings issues of labor into conversation with the politics of aesthetics. It focuses on the carpet as a commodity which crosses the boundaries of private and public, religious and secular, culture and economy, modern and traditional, home and diaspora, and art and commodity to tell the story of transnational interconnectivity. Bringing transnational feminist cultural studies, ethnography, and network studies within the same frame of reference, this book sheds light on Orientalia as civilizational objects that emerged as commodities in the encounter between the West and the many directly or indirectly colonized Middle Eastern and West Asian cultures, focusing on the specific example of Persian carpets as some of the most extensively valued and traded objects since colonial modernity.

Book Synopsis The Ardabil Carpets by : Rexford Stead
Download or read book The Ardabil Carpets written by Rexford Stead and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 1974-01-01 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The richness of Near Eastern art is epitomized by sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Persian carpets. Among the finest ever produced, the two Ardabil carpets are believed to have been made as offerings for the Shrine of Sheikh Safi at Ardabil during the Safavid dynasty in sixteenth-century Persia. In this text Rexford Stead, deputy director of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, explores the intricacies of the Ardabil carpets—one formerly in the Getty Museum and now in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the other in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. A bibliography and exhibition history are included.
Book Synopsis The Figure in the Carpet and Other Stories by : Henry James
Download or read book The Figure in the Carpet and Other Stories written by Henry James and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2007-12-06 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The stories in this collection were written mostly between 1888 and 1897, a time when Henry James’s writing was concerned with the art of fiction and the position of the artist in society. The motif and title story, ‘The Figure in the Carpet’, is an inspired joke, a masterpiece of double-entendre that demands the reader’s undivided love and attention and continues to baffle its critics. Also included are ‘The Author of Beltraffio’, an absorbing story of family infighting, authorship and tragedy, and ‘The Private Life’, a spirited tale that considers the contrast between the artist alone and at work. While many of these stories appear to be elaborate Jamesian games, all employ irony and humour to allegorize artistic creation.

Book Synopsis A World Art History and Its Objects by : David Carrier
Download or read book A World Art History and Its Objects written by David Carrier and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2008-11-21 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is writing a world art history possible? Does the history of art as such even exist outside the Western tradition? Is it possible to consider the history of art in a way that is not fundamentally Eurocentric? In this highly readable and provocative book, David Carrier, a philosopher and art historian, does not attempt to write a world art history himself. Rather, he asks the question of how an art history of all cultures could be written—or whether it is even possible to do so. He also engages the political and moral issues raised by the idea of a multicultural art history. Focusing on a consideration of intersecting artistic traditions, Carrier negotiates the way meaning and understanding shift or are altered when a visual object from one culture, for example, is inserted into the visual tradition of another culture. A World Art History and Its Objects proposes the use of temporal narrative as a way to begin to understand a multicultural art history.

Book excerpt: Feel the fear of incoming rockets, the sound of helicopter medevacs bringing more "Alpha" patients, the adrenaline of responding to mass casualties, the "Angels" of death. Personally experience how U.S. Navy nurses train for war at the military's premier trauma training center in Los Angeles, California to U.S. Army combat training at Fort Dix, New Jersey. Be at the bedside during poignant nursing encounters with injured U.S. and Coalition heroes, Afghanistan children, and the enemy Taliban in a state of the art trauma hospital in the Kandahar, Afghanistan theatre of war. Eat at Friday's on the boardwalk, dodge more mortar rounds and ride along on a medevac that sends the author to Landstuhl, Germany as a wounded warrior. Join the rehabilitation and return to the war, be at the reunion back stateside, and the chaotic journey forward with PTSD. This gripping, heartbreaking, enlightening, and uplifting story demonstrates, with humor, that no obstacle is too great to tackle and that life is truly a journey.
