Oceans Under Glass
Author: Samantha MukaPublisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226824136
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 251
Book Description
A welcome dive into the world of aquarium craft that offers much-needed knowledge about undersea environments. Atlantic coral is rapidly disappearing in the wild. To save the species, they will have to be reproduced quickly in captivity, and so for the last decade conservationists have been at work trying to preserve their lingering numbers and figure out how to rebuild once-thriving coral reefs from a few survivors. Captive environments, built in dedicated aquariums, offer some hope for these corals. This book examines these specialized tanks, charting the development of tank craft throughout the twentieth century to better understand how aquarium modeling has enhanced our knowledge of the marine environment. Aquariums are essential to the way we understand the ocean. Used to investigate an array of scientific questions, from animal behavior to cancer research and climate change, they are a crucial factor in the fight to mitigate the climate disaster already threatening our seas. To understand the historical development of this scientific tool and the groups that have contributed to our knowledge about the ocean, Samantha Muka takes up specialty systems—including photographic aquariums, kriesel tanks (for jellyfish), and hatching systems—to examine the creation of ocean simulations and their effect on our interactions with underwater life. Lively and engaging, Oceans under Glass offers a fresh history about how the aquarium has been used in modern marine biology and how integral it is to knowing the marine world.

Book Description
Par l'intermédiaire d'illustrations audiovisuelles, les journaux télévisés montrent le passé, le présent, mais aussi, paradoxalement, l'avenir. Ces programmes recourent aux images d'archives qui peuvent constituer près de 20 % de la durée d'une édition. Ces réutilisations quotidiennes d'images anciennes, qui ne sont généralement pas remarquées par le téléspectateur, présentent un défi pour les documentalistes qui les compilent. Quelles sont les méthodes utilisées pour répondre à ces besoins, anticiper les demandes urgentes et gérer les contraintes de production de contenus ? Comment sont sélectionnées, dès leur arrivée dans le service d'archives, les images possédant le plus important potentiel de réutilisation ? Les images aux aspects les plus stéréotypés sont sélectionnées pour proposer des supports pertinents et vraisemblables aux discours journalistiques. Par la redondance de leur utilisation, elles s'inscrivent dans nos répertoires visuels et donnent une image temporelle et un reflet de notre société.

Pages : 222
Book Description
An emblematic figure of the 'bourgeois century,' the parvenu represents the Other on which a society depends. This drama of exclusion is symptomatic of nineteenth-century society: ambivalent about social mobility, oscillating between a new sense of opportunity for all and a backward-looking retrenchment to rigid social structures.
"Visions of the Industrial Age, 1830?914 "

ISBN: 135153758X
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 398
Book Description
Providing a comprehensive interdisciplinary assessment, and with a particular focus on expressions of tension and anxiety about modernity, this collection examines visual culture in nineteenth-century Europe as it attempted to redefine itself in the face of social change and new technologies. Contributing scholars from the fields of history, art, literature and the history of science investigate the role of visual representation and the dominance of the image by looking at changing ideas expressed in representations of science, technology, politics, and culture in advertising, art, periodicals, and novels. They investigate how, during the period, new emphasis was placed on the visual with emerging forms of mass communication?photography, lithography, newspapers, advertising, and cinema?while older forms as varied as poetry, the novel, painting, interior decoration, and architecture became transformed. The volume includes investigations into new innovations and scientific development such as the steam engine, transportation and engineering, the microscope, "spirit photography," and the orrery, as well as how this new technology is reproduced in illustrated periodicals. The essays also look at more traditional forms of creative expression to show that the same concerns and anxieties about science, technology and the changing perceptions of the natural world can be seen in the art of Armand Guillaumin, Auguste Rodin, Gustave Caillebotte, and Camille Pissarro, in colonial nineteenth-century novels, in design manuals, in museums, and in the decorations of domestic interior spaces. Visions of the Industrial Age, 1830-1914 offers a thorough exploration of both the nature of modernity, and the nature of the visual.
