Art Without Borders
Author: Ben-Ami Scharfstein
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 0226736113
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 558
Book Description
People all over the world make art and take pleasure in it, and they have done so for millennia. But acknowledging that art is a universal part of human experience leads us to some big questions: Why does it exist? Why do we enjoy it? And how do the world’s different art traditions relate to art and to each other? Art Without Borders is an extraordinary exploration of those questions, a profound and personal meditation on the human hunger for art and a dazzling synthesis of the whole range of inquiry into its significance. Esteemed thinker Ben-Ami Scharfstein’s encyclopedic erudition is here brought to bear on the full breadth of the world of art. He draws on neuroscience and psychology to understand the way we both perceive and conceive of art, including its resistance to verbal exposition. Through examples of work by Indian, Chinese, European, African, and Australianartists, Art Without Borders probes the distinction between accepting a tradition and defying it through innovation, which leads to a consideration of the notion of artistic genius. Continuing in this comparative vein, Scharfstein examines the mutual influence of European and non-European artists. Then, through a comprehensive evaluation of the world’s major art cultures, he shows how all of these individual traditions are gradually, but haltingly, conjoining into a single current of universal art. Finally, he concludes by looking at the ways empathy and intuition can allow members of one culture to appreciate the art of another. Lucid, learned, and incomparably rich in thought and detail, Art Without Borders is a monumental accomplishment, on par with the artistic achievements Scharfstein writes about so lovingly in its pages.

In Through the Outdoor
Author: Scott Stewart
Publisher: Chipmunkapublishing ltd
ISBN: 1849914192
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 61
Book Description
DescriptionIn Through The Outdoor' is my only link with the real world. It is my way to both live and then eventually die. I did not set out or plan to write this book, it simply began. It began because I had to write down what it was I felt. And I felt scared. Very scared. Of nothing. Writing this book was the only way I could survive when nothing made any sense but to me the book also makes no sense. Writing it did not help me one bit. But reading it does and that's what I hope you do because that will help me a lot, too. That is, I need the money! I hope you enjoy what is in these pages and I hope it doesn't make too much sense. It's not meant to - it's life - it's just meant to feel right. Right? If this book does make any sense to you then please remember what it is you felt when you read it. Because that is what mentally unwell' feel every day of their lives. They just want to make sense like you. And just like you they want to lead normal lives. Normal lives: without fear; without persecution. I hope you understand even if it doesnt make sense. Because understanding is really all that matters. The protagonist of 'In Through The Outdoor' is not me. That is, it's not ME, Scott Stewart. I'm the author. But everything in those pages is me, or is or was, a part of me. I'm not the first person 'I' of the book's narrative but then who is? As you read there appears to be another 'I', someone called "Steven." Is he me? Am I him? Am 'I' him? We don't know. I don't know, and I'm the author. Does anyone really know, then? if even the instigator of the thing in question is uncertain of its meaning or origin? This is what 'In Through the Outdoor' is about. It's about nothing. The nothing that always is that plagues every single one of us, every single day of our existence. About the AuthorI came to Australia in October 1973 when my family decided that the Australian climate was a better option to raise their youngest child who then suffered from asthma. I grew up in Brisbane - the capital of Queensland, one of the really big states in this country, Australia. But although I grew out of the respiratory condition I grew into another set of problems. At age 18 I was admitted to the Princess Alexandra Hospital psychiatric ward and would spend almost 3 months of my life there. It almost killed me. But it wasn't the start of my problems and it certainly wasn't the end. I had developed OCD at age 12 and-a-half and the obsessions almost drove me, and my family, insane. My condition just 'morphed' from there on - being diagnosed as major depressive then schizophrenic then bi-polar and almost every other description of mental unwellness you can think of. That was 28 years ago. Now, still living in Brisbane, I'm finally getting on with what I always knew I had (?) to do. And that was, or is, create. I'm a creative person: I've always been interested in writing and photography and drawing and painting and acting and making movies (but not watching them) but, most of all, I've always wanted to play music. Drums are my passion and almost always have been. I tried to give them up so many times when I felt that I was getting nowhere. But I persisted, as I did with anything I ever undertook or began with any real desire to finish. And that includes my life. Like all of us, I travelled in through the out door to get here. That is, the way I came in is the way I'll go out. But there's no need to exit until you're asked to leave - by whatever means - so now that I've arrived I plan to try to make my stay as comfortable as possible. But it's a hard slog. Everyday is a battle. Knowing that the exit is just round the corner (or behind you, as the protagonists of my book discover) means you're always on guard. And I've been on duty for 28 years now. Keeping watch over my fortress - a fortress built on sand and water. I've been sinking for a long time but I can swim, so I'm not scared. I just wish I could find the higher ground (?). And that's w

Two-way Mirrors
Author: Eugene Chen Eoyang
Publisher: Lexington Books
ISBN: 9780739105009
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
In Two-Way Mirrors, Chen Eugene Eoyang engages in cross-cultural study, shedding light not only on the object of study but also on the subject conducting the study. The book's leading metaphor is that of the shop window, which is at once transparent (allowing a view of the merchandise on display) and reflective (offering an image of the prospective shopper). Eoyang shows the different and oppositional premises in Eastern and Western poetics juxtaposed not as contradictory but as complementary, allowing for a mutual illumination of values. He confronts the question of globalization and postmodernism bidirectionally, from an Asian as well as a Western perspective. Eoyang concludes by speculating on the continuing development of comparative literature, a discipline particularly well suited to new modes of discourse both reflective and reflexive, as illuminating as a two-way mirror.
