Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Luigi Amara no es unicamente uno de nuestros mas brillantes ensayistas, sino tambien el explorador indispensable de la geografia de lo inmediato y aparentemente insignificante. Con deslumbrante lucidez y humor, Fetiches ordinarios nos permite descubrir la monumental importancia y prodigio de lo cotidiano.-Naief YehyaFetiches ordinarios es una coleccion de ensayos en la que Luigi Amara recorre los recovecos del espacio domestico para reflexionar, con curiosidad y agudeza, sobre aquellos objetos que habitan nuestra intimidad hogarena: desde el papel higienico y la obsesion por adquirirlo en momentos de crisis; la cobija y su naturaleza de segunda piel; el jabon que nos limpia de impurezas y remordimientos; pasando por el paraguas, las macetas y las botellas de agua, hasta el selfie stick, los libros y la insistente capacidad metiche del polvo de posarse sobre todos ellos.En estas paginas, Amara se adentra en una exploracion casi poetica de los artilugios que conforman nuestra cotidianidad mas intima; esos fetiches inadvertidos que revelan mucho sobre nuestras obsesiones, necesidades y la manera en que construimos nuestra identidad a partir de lo que poseemos como individuos, pero tambien como sociedad.Estos ensayos llenos de humor critico e inteligente nos permitiran advertir, sin dejar de esbozar una sonrisa, las relaciones peculiares que creamos con los objetos, testimonios que dejaremos para los futuros arqueologos sobre la humanidad que fuimos.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONIn this collection of essays, Luigi Amara explores the hidden corners of our domestic spaces, with insightful reflections about the objects that fill our homes: toilet paper and the obsession with hoarding it during times of crisis; blankets and their function as a second skin; the soap that cleanses us of impurities and regrets; umbrellas, water bottles, selfie sticks, the books on our shelves, and the dust that collects insistently on their covers. Ordinary Fetishes offers an almost poetic recitation of the gadgets that make up everyday life. For Amara, our unconscious fetishes reveal a lot about our obsessions, needs, and construction of individual and social identity based on possessions.These clever essays are a knowing but affectionate look at our strange relationships with the objects our society will leave behind for future archeologists to study.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. A witty, eloquent, and curious history of the wigWhether in a court room or a dressing room, wigs come in many forms and represent many things: from power, to sexuality, to parody, to health, to self-identity, to disguise. Wigs are present at parties and in chemotherapy rooms, in pop music and contemporary art. In this witty and eloquent book, Luigi Amara reflects on the curious history of the wig and along the way takes a sideways look at Western civilisation. Amara illuminates how the wig has starred throughout history, from ancient Egypt to the court of Louis XIV, and from British courtrooms to drag shows today. Containing many striking and unusual images, The Wig will appeal to all those interested in the history of fashion as well as philosophy, art, culture, and aesthetics.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. En una fotografía aparece una mujer de espaldas. Muestra la nuca, exhibe la desnudez de su hombro, renuncia a mirar de frente. Impávida, sostiene un peinado contenido por una peineta. La mujer le da la espalda al fotógrafo y, una vez que el dedo de éste oprime el obturador, le da la espalda al mundo, a nosotros. Nu)n(ca es el resultado de un embrujo. Plantado frente a esa fotografía, Luigi Amara observa cómo se gesta un laberinto por el que luego divagará sin dejar un hilo que lo salve. El poeta asiste a la promesa de una revelación guardada con celo detrás del misterio de lo oculto. ¿De qué se guarda la mujer? ¿Qué esconde? Amara embiste estas preguntas y de la colisión emergen sus terrores conjurados, los territorios a los que renunció, la pira en la que arden los deseos no consumados. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
