Описание: In Transcending Patterns: Silk Road Cultural and Artistic Interactions through Central Asian Textiles, Mariachiara Gasparini investigates the origin and effects of a textile-mediated visual culture that developed at the heart of the Silk Road between the seventh and fourteenth centuries. Through the analysis of the Turfan Textile Collection in the Museum of Asian Art in Berlin and more than a thousand textiles held in collections worldwide, Gasparini discloses and reconstructs the rich cultural entanglements along the Silk Road, between the coming of Islam and the rise of the Mongol Empire, from the Tarim to Mediterranean Basin. Exploring in detail the iconographic transfer between different agents and different media from Central Asian caves to South Italian churches, the author depicts and describes the movement and exchange of portable objects such as sculpture, wall painting, and silk fragments across the Asian continent and across the ages.Gasparini's history offers critical perspectives that extend far beyond an outmoded notion of "Silk Road studies." Her cross-media work shows readers how certain material cultures are connected not only by the physical routes they take but also because of the meanings and interpretations these objects engage in various places. Transcending Patterns is at once art history, material and visual cultural history, Asian studies, conservatory studies, and linguistics.

Описание: On Earth-Two everything is free for the asking, everyone is as attractive as they believe they are, and making love can reach levels of ecstasy far beyond what humans ever experienced on Earth. So why are most young souls so anxious to leave? When elder-soul Andrew create Phoebe from a portion of himself, she begins her existence like most new souls on Earth-Two: Fresh and innocent, a void longing to be filled. After three arduous lives on Earth-- First as a male gang-banger in Cleveland, then as a promiscuous fraulein in 17th Century Germany, and finally as a selfish mother in modern day Connecticut, she has "grown" enough in wisdom and experience to take on the most challenging and exciting role of her young existence. Giving her one more tool to fulfill this destiny, Andrew uses his skills in matter-manipulation to sculpt Phoebe's astral image to that of an irresistible beauty. It is during this next incarnation that Phoebe meets handsome Ethan in ancient Rome, and a love affair for the ages flourishes. With each ensuing adventure on the blue marble...with each separation and reunion, their passion for each other continues, seemingly unbreakable. But even in this magnificent afterlife dimension of Earth-Two where love abounds, there can be adversity. And in this story its name is Leonid. Across the centuries and dimensions, this handsome but narcissistic young soul stalks Phoebe relentlessly in his obsession to have her for his own... Only to be thwarted at every turn. Until...

Описание: Therapeutic Conversations with Queer Youth is for practitioners who seek culturally responsive, socially-just ways of engaging queer youth in conversations that evoke imagination, provoke possibility, and honor the courageous resistance and arresting inventiveness of their young clients. The first therapy book that focuses on work with youth who construct queer identities (as differentiated from essentialized gay or lesbian identities), it s also the first to draw on queer theory and constructionist philosophy to inform practice with queer youth. Case vignettes and reflective exercises suitable for classroom use are provided through the commentary of five queer youth who served as cultural consultants to the research and writing of the book."
In Transcending Capitalism, Howard Brick explains why many influential midcentury American social theorists came to believe it was no longer meaningful to describe modern Western society as "capitalist," but instead preferred alternative terms such as "postcapitalist," "postindustrial," or "technological." Considering the discussion today of capitalism and its global triumph, it is important to understand why a prior generation of social theorists imagined the future of advanced societies not in a fixed capitalist form but in some course of development leading beyond capitalism.
Brick locates this postcapitalist vision within a long history of social theory and ideology. He challenges the common view that American thought and culture utterly succumbed in the 1940s to a conservative cold war consensus that put aside the reform ideology and social theory of the early twentieth century. Rather, expectations of the shift to a new social economy persisted and cannot be disregarded as one of the elements contributing to the revival of dissenting thought and practice in the 1960s.
Rooted in a politics of social liberalism, this vision held influence for roughly a half century, from its interwar origins until the right turn in American political culture during the 1970s and 1980s. In offering a historically based understanding of American postcapitalist thought, Brick also presents some current possibilities for reinvigorating critical social thought that explores transitional developments beyond capitalism.
