Revelationist Aesthetics in Contemporary Cinema
On the cusp of the twenty-first century, the notion of art as revelation of reality held sway in film aesthetics and criticism. Where did this seemingly naive belief in the vocation of art originate, what sustained it, and how did it shape the work of filmmakers, as diverse as Jean-Luc Godard, Jean-Marie Straub and Dani癡le Huillet, and Abbas Kiarostami? These questions launch this book's exploration of the revelationist tradition from the 1950s to the early 2000s, revisiting a formative period in film history - from Italian Neorealism and the Nouvelle Vague to political modernism - and assessing its lasting impact on contemporary cinema. With the passing of its last major figures, Godard and Straub, in 2022, a critical reassessment of this tradition is timely.

Latoya M. Hobbs
A celebration of printmaker LaToya M. Hobbs featuring a suite of life-size woodcut prints Carving Out Time is a monumental print series by LaToya M. Hobbs (b. 1983), a painter and printmaker based in Baltimore. This publication--the first of its kind on the artist--presents the series in full, with commentary on both Hobbs's practice and broader themes pertinent to her work and to the field of contemporary printmaking. Unfolding over five scenes, Hobbs's towering woodcuts depict a day in her life with her husband and their two children. Hobbs extends the intimacy of her private life, centering the negotiations she brokers daily to balance her responsibilities as a wife, mother, educator, and artist--a contemplation of nuanced concepts of time and labor that is at once deeply personal and universal. The book serves as an art historical guide to Hobbs's daily conversation with sculpture, paintings, and prints by visionary Black artists including Jean-Michel Basquiat, Elizabeth Catlett, and Kerry James Marshall living within this print series, depicted on the walls and bookshelves in the family home.

The Dictionary of Flowers
A beautifully illustrated prose poetry collection exploring womanhood, healing, and the delicate tensions of identity in contemporary India.Stepping into a breezy and colourful piece, reading this book is more like getting to know a person. The exchange of pleasantries at the start with dainty conversations that refrain from straying too far. Building a careful foliage of words that soften into laughter and a crisscross of comfortable questions. The rough puzzle pieces slowly fit together as you stumble across parts they keep hidden from the daylight. Cracks in their initial flawlessness that never fail to surprise you. And after you get to know them with their joys, regrets and stubborn quirks, and wonder how it aligns with your own, they stay by your side. Hopeful. Vulnerable. With every guard down. Waiting to see if you would accept them as a whole. And that is what the dictionary of flowers will do to you. Stay with you while you get to know the entire picture. And wait. And wait for you to make your final choice.

Mirar Hoy Lo Estetico En La Edad Media
This book tackles the necessary task of contrasting the medieval perspective on the aesthetic with our current perspective, so distant from each other! Some thirty prestigious scholars, philosophers, philologists, theologians, art experts, from various countries and languages imbibe the various medieval traditions and thinkers in an attempt to illuminate their conception of the aesthetic with the aim of enriching our present-day outlook. The book is structured in three thematic areas. The first section is a sort of prolegomena to the question of beauty in the Middle Ages. A second section studies and analyses the various currents of thought in medieval aesthetics, not only in terms of their mutual interrelationship, but also in terms of their connection with classical thought. Finally, a third part analyses the reception and evaluation of medieval aesthetics by contemporary culture, as well as its influence on the latter. The work arises from the conviction that dialogue between the present and the past, and particularly the medieval past, is fundamental in the task of resolving the many ruptures that corrode our culture. Harmony, beauty, as is evident in the contributions that weave the fabric of this work, springs magically - or rather, divinely - from the mysterious and unfathomable - and always novel - interweaving of differences, between the present and the past, the medieval and the contemporary, between theology, philosophy, philology, art..., between different cultures and countries. This work is an example of this, illuminating our times from the extraordinary experience lived by these people who preceded us and who have contributed - although often ignored - to the shaping of the best of our civilisation.
