Art" has always been contested terrain, whether the object in question is a medieval tapestry or Duchamp's Fountain. But questions about the categories of "art" and "art history" acquired increased urgency during the 1970s, when new developments in critical theory and other intellectual projects dramatically transformed the discipline. The first edition of Critical Terms for Art History both mapped and contributed to those transformations, offering a spirited reassessment of the field's methods and terminology.Art history as a field has kept pace with debates over globalization and other social and political issues in recent years, making a second edition of this book not just timely, but crucial. Like its predecessor, this new edition consists of essays that cover a wide variety of "loaded" terms in the history of art, from sign to meaning, ritual to commodity. Each essay explains and comments on a single term, discussing the issues the term raises and putting the term into practice as an interpretive framework for a specific work of art. For example, Richard Shiff discusses "Originality" in Vija Celmins's To Fix the Image in Memory, a work made of eleven pairs of stones, each consisting of one "original" stone and one painted bronze replica.

A leading art historian presents a new grammar for understanding the meaning and significance of print In process and technique printmaking is an art of physical contact From woodcut and engraving to lithography and screenprinting every print is the record of a contact event the transfer of an image between surfaces under pressure followed by release Contact reveals how the physical properties of print have their own poetics and politics and provides a new framework for understanding the intelligence and continuing relevance of printmaking today The seemingly simple physics of printmaking brings with it an array of metamorphoses that give expression to many of the social and conceptual concerns at the heart of modern and contemporary art Exploring transformations such as reversal separation and interference Jennifer Roberts explores these dynamics in the work of Christiane Baumgartner David Hammons Edgar Heap of Birds Jasper Johns Corita Kent Glenn Ligon Julie Mehretu Robert Rauschenberg and many other leading artists who work at the edge of the medium and beyond Focusing on the material and spatial transformations of the printmaking process rather than its reproducibility this beautifully illustrated book explores the connections between print p

¿Cómo se define el patrimonio cultural cuando existen continuidades y discontinuidades propias de la de las fronteras políticas interestatales? ¿Se truncan las escalas en la frontera y son los patrimonios locales representativos de la comunidad nacional/ estatal? ¿Es posible poner en valor un patrimonio inmaterial de relaciones transfronterizas que haga emerger las memorias invisibilizadas que cuestionan las barreras estatales? ¿Puede el uso turistico de este patrimonio detener el estancamiento de esas zonas perifericas? Estas cuestiones surgen al acercarnos al estudio del patrimonio cultural en las fronteras en donde se trunca el sentido univoco de representacion de la nacion original del propio concepto de patrimonio cultural.A estas cuestiones nos acercamos en esta obra, en la que se recogen los avances del proyecto Memorias de Frontera en el Sur Iberico (2020/22) de la Universidad Pablo de Olavide. Acotamos el estudio de la cultura de frontera a su expresion patrimonial y a los territorios fronterizos, principalmente ibericos, sin reducir con ello la complejidad y variedad de tematicas a las que nos enfrentamos y que recorremos en estas paginas. El libro esta organizado en tres partes, en las que se tratan, en primer lugar, los paisajes culturales y las arquitecturas transfronterizas, luego, los patrimonios inmateriales que emergen de los contactos entre ambas margenes y que pueblan las memorias locales (lenguas compartidas, el contrabando, las fiestas...) y, finalmente, el turismo de frontera y algunas experiencias de cooperacion en los patrimonios limitrofes.

Examinar la historia del arte occidental es constatar la predominancia del desnudo femenino. ¿Pero, cómo ha adquirido el cuerpo femenino el estatus de icono, de símbolo del arte occidental? Esta obra analiza la tradicion historica y las nuevas propuestas del reciente arte feminista, y, al estudiar como se producen las imagenes del cuerpo femenino consideradas aceptables o no, dinamiza el debate sobre los limites entre cultura y la pronografia

En este libro se analiza el sensus aestheticus del hombre contemporáneo. Pese a su pérdida de sensibilidad estético-artística, el ser humano actual es portador de un proyecto de educación estética que le acompaña a lo largo de su vida. Todas las culturas han poseido su propia idea del hombre y del arte y la han revelado y manifestado por medio de la educacion estetica orientada al joven. El objetivo del presente volumen es aplicar estas directrices al texto estetico y al sujeto en edad evolutiva, no unicamente a la escuela y a la didactica. Y tambien intenta realizar una sintesis de las principales teorias -filosoficas, pedagogicas, esteticas, historico-artisticas- que regulan la formacion estetica en la cultura contemporanea.
