The Modernist Bestiary
Author: Timothy Mathews
Publisher: UCL Press
ISBN: 1787351513
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 186
Book Description
The Modernist Bestiary centres on Le Bestiaire ou Cortège d’Orphée (1911), a multimedia collaborative work by French-Polish poet Guillaume Apollinaire and French artist Raoul Dufy, and its homonym, The Bestiary or Procession of Orpheus (1979), by British artist Graham Sutherland. Rather than reconstructing the lineage of these two compositions, the book uncovers the aesthetic and intellectual processes involved that operate in different times, places and media. The Apollinaire and Dufy Bestiary is an open-ended collaboration, a feature that Sutherland develops in his re-visiting, and this book shows how these neglected works are caught up in many-faceted networks of traditions and genres. These include Orphic poetry from the past, contemporary musical settings, and bestiary writing from its origins to the present. The nature of productive dialogue between thought and art, and the refracted light they throw on each other are explored in each of the pieces in the book, and the aesthetic experience emerges as generative rather than reductive or complacent. The contributors’ encounters with these works take the form of poetry and essays, all moving freely between different disciplines and practices, humanistic and posthumanist critical dimensions, as well as different animals and art forms. They draw on disciplines ranging from music, art history, translation, Classical poetry and French poetry, and are nurtured by approaches including phenomenology, cultural studies, sound studies, and critical animal studies. Collectively the book shows that the aesthetic encounter, by nature affective, is by nature also interdisciplinary and motivating, and that it spurs the critical in addressing the complex issues of 'humananimality'.

Trade and Industrial Policies in the New South Africa
Author: Lena Moritz
Publisher: Nordic Africa Institute
ISBN: 9789171063557
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 68
Book Description
To achieve economic growth, South Africa aims at a more outward-oriented economic framework. However, as is discussed in this study, such a transition is made difficult by the constraints created by past industrial policies.Protectionism, the apartheid system, and other regulations have contributed to a generally noncompetitive manufacturing sector, a weak macroeconomic position, and distorted factor markets. Social unrest compounds the problem, as does lack of skill and capital. The role of state interventionism in the new South Africa is also considered.

A Daoist Theory of Chinese Thought
Author: Chad Hansen
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0195350766
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 465
Book Description
This ambitious book presents a new interpretation of Chinese thought guided both by a philosopher's sense of mystery and by a sound philosophical theory of meaning. That dual goal, Hansen argues, requires a unified translation theory. It must provide a single coherent account of the issues that motivated both the recently untangled Chinese linguistic analysis and the familiar moral-political disputes. Hansen's unified approach uncovers a philosophical sophistication in Daoism that traditional accounts have overlooked.
