Gebundene Ausgabe. Condition: Sehr gut. Gebraucht - Sehr gut sg - ungelesenes mängelexemplar, gestempelt, mit leichten lagerspuren - 1936 veröffentlichte ein amerikanischer Ornithologe namens James Bond die maßgebliche Studie zur Vogelwelt der Karibik. Ian Fleming, selbst begeisterter Vogelliebhaber, übernahm den Namen für seine…n Titelhelden. Er fand ihn 'flach und farblos', passend für ein 'anonymes . stumpfes Werkzeug in den Händen einer Regierung'. Für Field Guide to Birds of the West Indies schlüpft Taryn Simon (geb.1975) in die Rolle des originalen James Bond und identifiziert, fotografiert und klassifiziert jeden einzelnen der Vögel in allen 24 James-Bond-Filmen. Viele davon tauchten ungeplant auf und blieben unbemerkt, sie bilden lediglich eine Art Hintergrundrauschen des Films, in den sie zufällig geflogen waren. Simons ornithologischen Entdeckungen finden in einer Grauzone statt - einerseits innerhalb des James-Bond-Universums, andererseits völlig außerhalb. Ihre Taxinomie von 331 Vögeln ist somit die präzise Betrachtung einer neuartigen Natur, vorgefunden in einer parallelen Realität.

Add to basketHardcover in decorative slipcase , 2 volumes, 1076 pages, ENG, 310 x 210 x 100 mm, NEW !!, packed with fine illustrations in colour / b/w, truly a collector's item. ISBN 9783775741408. Simon's Birds of the West Indies is a two-part body of work, whose title is taken from the definitive taxonomy of the same name by the American o…rnithologist James Bond. Ian Fleming, an active bird watcher, appropriated the author's name for his novels' lead character. He found it "flat and colourless," a fitting choice for a character intended to be "anonymous? a blunt instrument in the hands of the government." The first element of Simon's work is a photographic inventory of the women, weapons and vehicles of James Bond films made over the past fifty years. This visual database of interchangeable variables used in the production of fantasy examines the economic and emotional value generated by their repetition. In the second element of the work, Simon casts herself as the ornithologist James Bond, identifying, photographing, and classifying all the birds that appear within the 24 films of the James Bond franchise. Simon's discoveries often occupy a liminal space between reality and fiction; they are confined within the fictional space of the James Bond universe and yet wholly separate from it. 5220 g.
