Octavo, paperback,232 pp.,colour photogaphs and illustrations. Reaktion Animal Series. Only coming to prominence in the mid-nineteenth century when English, French and American scientists encountered the animal for the first time, the gorilla's physical resemblance to humans immediately struck a chord, marking the beginning of a relationship between animal and man that has yielded diverse results, becoming a popular subject for scientists, writers, anthropologists and artists alike. Along with the orang-utan, and some chimpanzees, gorillas are classified as higher apes, a group defined through similarity to humans and which has held a special place in theories of evolution. Today, the remaining gorilla habitats in Africa are threatened by deforestation, and populations continue to be diminished by illegal hunting. They are again at the heart of impassioned contemporary debates on animal ecology and animal ethics. In Gorilla, Tedd Gott and Kathryn Weir provide a compelling and sometimes disturbing account of our relationship with this noble, intelligent animal. From Tarzan to King Kong, they track the gorilla through the history of expeditionary narratives, literature and film, where it has acted as a screen upon which fears of sexuality, theories of criminality and narratives of humanity's relationship with primates have been projected. At times amusing, moving and unsettling, and packed with information and anecdote, Gorilla presents a notable history of this animal's influence on our culture, as well as its plight at the hands of humankind. The book will appeal to the many fans of this gentle giant, as well as all who wish to learn more of its troubled past and uncertain future.…

Rilegato. Condition: new. Napoli, Museo Madre, 24 giugno - 26 settembre 2024. A cura di Kathryn Weir. Testo Italiano e Inglese. Napoli, 2024; ril., pp. 72, ill. col., cm 22x26. Riflettori su "Napoli negli anni intorno al 1940, per analizzare, attraverso lo sguardo di artisti e di pensieri critici, la storia e l'eredità contemporanea dell'interconnessione tra colonialismo e fascismo. Sottolineando una concomitanza geografica e temporale fra storie raramente raccontate insieme, il progetto ha presentato ricerche artistiche, opere e installazioni che hanno svelato collegamenti tra la violenza fisica e psicologica del colonialismo e quella del fascismo, ed esplorano l'apparato filosofico, estetico e iconografico che sottende ad entrambi. [.] Le indagini artistiche sui paesaggi e i luoghi testimoniano l'imporsi di un'egemonia economica sul Sud da parte del Nord, rafforzato sia da un controllo dei saperi scientifici, sia da apparati di idealizzazione estetica ed esotismo ad esso paralleli. Il progetto riflette in particolare sulla Mostra d'Oltremare inaugurata a Napoli il 9 maggio 1940. Gli artisti coinvolti riflettono sul contenuto, l'estetica e il significato delle tracce narrative, visive e storiche di questo periodo, dai materiali d'archivio al patrimonio architettonico. Si appropriano di elementi di un "patrimonio difficile", tra i quali mappe degli anni '30 della Consociazione Turistica Italiana dell'Africa Orientale Italiana; fotografie scattate da Hilmar Landwehr, soldato della Wehrmacht in Campania fra il 1942 e il 1943; immagini delle riviste 'La difesa della razza' e 'Tempo', sovvenzionate dal regime fascista" [Kathyn Weir].

Format in-4°( 30 x 22,5 cm )( 616 gr ) . --------- 116 pages. Illustrations. ******************* "" Une nouvelle lecture critique des principales dimensions du travail de l'artiste française basée à Los Angeles. Sous le commissariat de Kathryn Weir, la remarquable exposition dans laquelle s'origine cette nouvelle monographie explore de multiples transformations : de soi, des autres, des identités collectives, luttes, libérations et refuges. Un dialogue puissant et inattendu s'établit avec un certain nombre d'objets de dévotion populaires, tirés de collections archéologiques ou liturgiques italiennes, évoquant le seuil ambivalent présent dans la pratique de Tabouret, portail vers de multiples temporalités et subjectivités à travers lesquelles envisager des relations alternatives entre les êtres humains, entre l'être humain et son environnement face aux crises écologiques et sociétales, mais aussi en communication avec le surnaturel. À travers 25 uvres de Tabouret les premières datent de 2008, mais l'essentiel de la dernière décennie de pratiques multiformes de l'artiste l'exposition articule les différentes structures et fluidités présentes au sein de la subjectivité et des identités construites à travers des peintures, sculptures, vidéos et uvres sur papier. Subjectivités errantes et matérialisme magique constituent les grands axes thématiques de l'exposition. Progressivement, potentiel suspendu et friction métaphysique inscrits dans les uvres émergent à travers des associations intérieur/extérieur, matériel/spirituel, visible/invisible. Le langage énigmatique du rituel et de la répétition dans les univers amniotiques de Tabouret révèle des états de conscience mystérieux et entremêle identité individuelle et forces plus vastes. L'exposition explore aussi une condition double et multiple du soi, en rapport avec la fertilité et la maternité, notamment à travers la présence de deux Matres Matutae de Capoue, admirables ex-voto sculptés dans le tuf volcanique entre 500 et 200 avant JC dont la présence magique recréé un lien matériel renouvelé avec la terre. Processus d'incarnation et de transfiguration, créatures monstrueuses et inexplicables, tout est lié par une miraculeuse possibilité de transformation. Comme l'écrivait Hélène Cixous dans Le Rire de la Méduse (1975), « Je suis Chair spacieuse chantante, sur laquelle s'ente nul sait quel(le) je plus ou moins humain mais d'abord vivant puisqu'en transformation ». ********************* ref fav-02-06 ref CL02.…
