Book DescriptionA compelling blend of art history, social analysis, and personal testimony, Creative Collectives presents a new paradigm for understanding Chicana/o studies By following the artistic and ideological journeys of two groups of northern California Chicana artists, María Ochoa argues that the women involved in these collectives оввцх created complex images whose powerful visual social commentary sprang from the daily experiences of their lives Ochoa's artistic narrative first focuses on Mujeres Muralistas, a pathbreaking San Francisco group of mural painters organized in the early 1970s at the height of the Chicana/o Movement The story then turns its attention to Co-Madres Artistas, a group of artists who came together in the 1990s after spending decades tending their families, becoming successful in their careers, and launching key Chicana/o cultural institutions in the Sacramento Valley Ochoa tells the stories of the individual members of these collectives to show how they combined art and activism Through an innovative application of oral history interviews, a fascinating compilation of individual and collective stories emerges Creative Collectives is notable for its skillful weaving of personal recollections, representational analysis of mural and easel painting, and social movement narration.  2003 г 139 стр ISBN 0826321100.

What forms of expression will be possible tomorrow, how do they differ from those of the past, and how can we better prepare for them today? The investigation of artists at the human-computer interface (HCI), where artistic and cybernetic questions meet, has great implications for critical consciousness, cultural evolution, and art education оввчэ The investigation of cybernetic art begins with a treatment of the art object as data Our modes of communication are converging, spaces and interfaces are transforming rapidly as digital technologies affect the ways we construct knowledge and behave The HCI is the site of both cultural evolution and individual expression Art education has an opportunity to facilitate a critical dialogue around these emergent objects, expressing the shifting nature of human interaction and extrapolating meaning that refers to larger sociological frameworks and belief systems This study offers a glimpse at the effect of emergent objects on critical consciousness in eight qualitative case studies of artists integrating digital technology into their studio practice.  2009 г Мягкая обложка, 204 стр ISBN 3639159845.

When one great author engages another, as Andrei Bely so brilliantly does in "Gogol's Artistry", the result is inevitably a telling portrait of both writers So it is in "Gogol's Artistry" Translated into English for the first time, this idiosyncratic, exhaustive critical study is as interesting for what it tells us about оввщъ Bely's thought and method as it is for its insights into the oeuvre of his literary predecessor Bely's argument in this book is that Gogol's earlier writing should be given more consideration than most critics have granted Employing what might be called a scientific perspective, Bely considers how often certain colors appear; he diagrams sentences and discusses Gogol's prose in terms of mathematical equations The result, as strange and engaging as Bely's best fiction, is also an innovative, thorough, and remarkably revealing work of criticism.  2009 г Твердый переплет, 512 стр ISBN 0810125900.

Fashion is bound up with promoting the "new," concerned with constantly changing aesthetics The favored styles or looks of a season arise out of the work of a vast range of different actors who collectively produce, select, distribute and promote the new ideals, before moving on next season If fashion is defined, in part, by the incessant оввщю requirement to be "new," this requirement means aesthetic qualities are always in motion and, therefore, unstable How, then, are fashionable commodities stabilized long enough for them to be calculated--i e , selected, distributed and sold--by those critically placed inside the fashion system? Since there are few studies that actually examine the work that goes on inside the world of fashion we know little about these processes Fashion and the Cultural Economy addresses this gap in our knowledge by examining how aesthetic products are defined, distributed and valued It focuses attention on the work of some of the market agents, in particular model agents or "bookers" and fashion buyers, shaping the aesthetics inside their markets In analyzing their work, Entwistle develops a theoretical framework for understanding the distinctive features of aesthetic marketplaces and the aesthetic calculations within them.  2009 г Твердый переплет, 224 стр ISBN 1845204727.

This vibrant collection of essays claims that a complex network of texts by critics, biographers and diarists established the credibility and influence of the Pre-Raphaelite movement Throughout the twentieth century, Modernist taste failed to acknowledge the achievement of oppositional groupings such as the Pre-Raphaelites The essays оввъд collected here, however, reveal that the British group anticipated later avant-gardes by using the written word to configure for itself a radical artistic identity Public and critics alike were scandalized by the radicalism of Pre-Raphaelite painting, its unflinching portrayal of historical figures and of contemporary life, and its irreverent attitude to artistic convention Pre-Raphaelitism's innovations were not confined to style: new forms of artistic identity and behaviour were explored As the contributors interrogate the texts through which Pre-Raphaelitism was constructed, they demonstrate that the movement's wide influence as a cultural phenomenon derived from the interplay between exhibited works and critical discourse Applying a range of sophisticated methodologies from the fields of literary studies, art history, and cultural studies, these interdisciplinary essays uncover the neglected role of texts in the success of the Pre-Raphaelite rebellion and argue in favor of a new centrality for this movement in the history of nineteenth-century European culture.  2009 г Твердый переплет, 276 стр ISBN 0754657175.
