Remaking the Readymade Duchamp Man Ray and the Conundrum of the Replica

Remaking the Readymade Duchamp Man Ray and the Conundrum of the Replica

Replication and originality are central concepts in the artistic oeuvres of Marcel Duchamp and Man Ray. Remaking the Readymade reveals the underlying and previously unexplored processes and rationales for the collaboration between Duchamp Man Ray and Arturo Schwarz on the replication of readymades and objects. The 1964 editioned replicas of the readymades sent shock waves through the art world. Even though the replicas undermined ideas of authorship and problematized the notion of identity and the artist they paradoxically shared in the aura of the originals becoming stand-ins for the readymades. Scholar-poet-dealer Arturo Schwarz played a crucial role opening the door to joint or alternate authorship—an outstanding relationship between artist and dealer. By unearthing previously unpublished correspondence and documentary materials and combining this material with newly conducted exclusive interviews with key participants Remaking the Readymade details heretofore unrevealed aspects of the technical processes involved in the (re)creation of iconic long-lost Dada objects. Launched on the heels of the centenary of Duchamp’s Fountain this new analysis intensifies and complicates our understanding of Duchamp and Man Ray’ initial conceptions and raises questions about replication and authorship that will stimulate significant debate about the legacy of the artists the continuing significance of their works and the meaning of terms such as creativity originality and value in the formation of art. | Remaking the Readymade Duchamp Man Ray and the Conundrum of the Replica

Post-Jungian Psychology and the Short Stories of Ray Bradbury and Kurt Vonnegut Golden Apples of the Monkey House

Post-Jungian Psychology and the Short Stories of Ray Bradbury and Kurt Vonnegut Golden Apples of the Monkey House

In this book Steve Gronert Ellerhoff explores short stories by Ray Bradbury and Kurt Vonnegut written between 1943 and 1968 with a post-Jungian approach. Drawing upon archetypal theories of myth from Joseph Campbell James Hillman and their forbearer C. G. Jung Ellerhoff demonstrates how short fiction follows archetypal patterns that can illuminate our understanding of the authors their times and their culture. In practice a post-Jungian ‘mythodology’ is shown to yield great insights for the literary criticism of short fiction. Chapters in this volume carefully contextualise and historicize each story including Bradbury and Vonnegut’s earliest and most imaginatively fantastic works. The archetypal constellations shaping Vonnegut’s early works are shown to be war and fragmentation while those in Bradbury’s are family and the wholeness of the sun. Analysis is complemented by the explored significance of illustrations that featured alongside the stories in their first publications. By uncovering the ways these popular writers redressed old myths in new tropes—and coined new narrative elements for hopes and fears born of their era—the book reveals a fresh method which can be applied to all imaginative short stories increasing understanding and critical engagement. Post-Jungian Psychology and the Short Stories of Ray Bradbury and Kurt Vonnegut is an important text for a number of fields from Jungian and Post-Jungian studies to short story theoriesand American studies to Bradbury and Vonnegut studies. Scholars and students of literature will come away with a renewed appreciation for an archetypal approach to criticism while the book will also be of great interest to practising depth psychologists seeking to incorporate short stories into therapy. | Post-Jungian Psychology and the Short Stories of Ray Bradbury and Kurt Vonnegut Golden Apples of the Monkey House

Changing and Unchanging Face of U.S. Civil Society

Changing and Unchanging Face of U.S. Civil Society

Ray has written a book that should be read by anyone interested in the current debates about the general health of civil society in the United States. American Journal of Sociology The formation maintenance and well being of American civil society is a topic of intense debate in the social sciences. Until now this debate has lacked rigor with the term civil society commonly used interchangeably and imprecisely with other terms such as civic engagement. Today's discourse also lacks methodological discipline and relies too heavily on narrowly selected evidence in support of a particular argument. In this invaluable contribution to the debate Marcella Ridlen Ray supplies an empirical study based on a theoretical model of democratic civil society one that posits high levels of communication diversity autonomy mediation and voluntary association. In Ray's account the emergent story of U. S. civil society is that of a dynamic institution not necessarily one that is linear in its progression. It is a tale of flux resilience and stability over the long term that is consistent with subtexts on political equilibrium she notes in the work of early political analysts such as Aristotle Machiavelli Locke Burke and later Tocqueville. Ray dispels the widely accepted myth that Americans are increasingly apathetic and withdrawn from common interests. The evidence reveals a persistence of long-standing public spiritedness despite the fact that individuals use wider discretion in deciding if and how to attach to community and despite a historical lack of enthusiasm for performing civic duties in lieu of more pleasurable leisure activity. This public-spiritedness continues to reflect embedded religious-cultural values that disproportionately influence how and when people dedicate time and money to associational life. U. S. civil society has grown more inclusive and democratic as Americans venture at growing rates across differences in perspective ideas beliefs and experience to form diverse networks of interest association and community. No longer confined to an immediate or local area the social space of Americans now incorporates national international and cyber-spatial dimensions. Social connectedness is extensive due to the expansion of social space and the multiplication of weak social ties that transcend geographic and spatial boundaries. Ray's theoretical model gives form and coherence to her massive compilation of quantitative and qualitative data. She uses this to improve the visibility of civil society an institution essential to democracy itself. This volume provides the basis for a systematic evaluation of a major American institution as well as a framework for comparison with other Western democracies. | Changing and Unchanging Face of U.

Deterrence Choice and Crime Volume 23 Contemporary Perspectives

Deterrence Choice and Crime Volume 23 Contemporary Perspectives

Deterrence Choice and Crime explores the various dimensions of modern deterrence theory relevant research and practical applications. Beginning with the classical roots of deterrence theory in Cesare Beccaria’s profoundly important contributions to modern criminological thought the book draws out the many threads in contemporary criminology that are explicitly mentioned or at least hinted by Beccaria. These include sanction risk perceptions and their behavioral consequences the deterrent efficacy of the certainty versus the severity of punishment the role of celerity of punishment in the deterrence process informal versus formal deterrence and individual differences in deterrence. The richness of the volume is seen in the inclusion of chapters that focus on the theoretical development of deterrence across disciplines such as criminology and economics. In an innovative section the role of agents of deterrence is considered. Lessons are learned from the practical applications of deterrence undertaken in the areas of policing corrections and the community. The closing section includes Michael Tonry’s An Honest Politician’s Guide to Deterrence: Certainty Severity Celerity and Parsimony a reminder of Beccaria’s dictum that it is better to prevent crimes than punish them. In the current environment deterrence arguments are routinely used to justify policies that do just the opposite. Ray Paternoster who contributed two chapters passed away as this volume was being finalized. Fittingly this book is dedicated to him and ends with Alex Piquero’s poignant remembrance of Ray a path-breaking deterrence scholar beloved mentor and ardent supporter of social justice. Suitable for researchers and graduate students as well as for advanced courses in criminology this book breaks new ground in theorizing the effects of punishment and other sanctions on crime control. | Deterrence Choice and Crime Volume 23 Contemporary Perspectives

Drawing Parallels Knowledge Production in Axonometric Isometric and Oblique Drawings

Drawing Parallels Knowledge Production in Axonometric Isometric and Oblique Drawings

Drawing Parallels expands your understanding of the workings of architects by looking at their work from an alternative perspective. The book focuses on parallel projections such as axonometric isometric and oblique drawings. Ray Lucas argues that by retracing the marks made by architects we can begin to engage more directly with their practice as it is only by redrawing the work that hidden aspects are revealed. The practice of drawing offers significantly different insights not easily accessible through discourse analysis critical theory or observation. Using James Stirling JJP Oud Peter Eisenman John Hejduk and Cedric Price as case studies Lucas highlights each architect's creative practices which he anaylses with reference to Bergson's concepts of temporality and cretivity discussing ther manner in which creative problems are explored and solved. The book also draws on a range of anthropological ideas including skilled practice and enchantment in order to explore why axonometrics are important to architecture and questions the degree to which the drawing convention influences the forms produced by architects. With 60 black-and-white images to illustrate design development this book would be an essential read for academics and students of architecture with a particular interest in further understanding the inner workings of the architectural creative process. | Drawing Parallels Knowledge Production in Axonometric Isometric and Oblique Drawings

Approaches to Economic Geography Towards a geographical political economy

Approaches to Economic Geography Towards a geographical political economy

The last four decades have seen major changes in the global economy with the collapse of communism and the spread of capitalism into parts of the world from which it had previously been excluded. Beginning with a grounding in Marxian political economy this book explores a range of new ideas as to what economic geography can offer as it intersects with public policy and planning in the new globalised economy. Approaches to Economic Geography draws together the formidable work of Ray Hudson into an authoritative collection offering a unique approach to the understanding of the changing geographies of the global economy. With chapters covering subjects ranging from uneven development to social economy this volume explores how a range of perspectives including evolutionary and institutional approaches can further elucidate how such economies and their geographies are reproduced. Subsequent chapters argue that greater attention must be given to the relationships between the economy and nature and that more consideration needs to be given to the growing significance of illegal activities in the economy. The book will be of interest to students studying economic geography as well as researchers and policy makers that recognise the importance of the relationships between economy and geography as we move towards a sustainable future economy and society.

The Academy of San Carlos and Mexican Art History Politics History and Art in Nineteenth-Century Mexico

The Academy of San Carlos and Mexican Art History Politics History and Art in Nineteenth-Century Mexico

The first substantial Mexican colonial art historiography in English this book examines the origin of the study of colonial art in Mexico as a symptom of the development of modern museum practice in mid-nineteenth-century Mexico City. Also an intellectual history this study recognizes the role of nationalism in the initiation of art historical practice in what is understood today more broadly as Latin America. Although there has been a steady stream of scholarship produced about the subject beginning in Mexico and increasingly in the United States what is variably known as viceregal or colonial Mexican Spanish colonial and colonial Latin American art continues to be underplayed or overlooked by most art historians and is thus marginal in the field of art history. Ray Hernández-Durán redresses that omission presenting a detailed examination of the origin of the study of colonial art in Mexico. Drawing upon archival research this volume touches upon the role of politics on the formation of the first gallery of Mexican painting in the Academy of San Carlos and the first comprehensive historical treatment of the material in the form of a dialogue. Furthermore this study promotes further research in colonial art historiography and underlines the pivotal role that the Indo-Hispanic Americas played in the emergence of early modernity and the process of globalization. | The Academy of San Carlos and Mexican Art History Politics History and Art in Nineteenth-Century Mexico
