Deleuze's Cinema Books: Three Introductions to the Taxonomy of Images
ISBN: 9781474407687 / Angielski / Miękka / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Deleuze's two Cinema books explore film through the creation of a series of philosophical concepts. Not only bewildering in number, Deleuze's writing procedures mean his exegesis is both complex and elusive. Three questions emerge: What are the underlying principles of the taxonomy? How many concepts are there, and what do they describe? How might each be used in engaging with a film?
David Deamer's book is the first to fully respond to these three questions, unearthing the philosophies inspiring Deleuze's classifications, exploring every concept and reading a film for each....

Rekonesanse Witkacjańskie
ISBN: 9788377846261 / Polski / Miękka / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Unikalny charakter dzieła Witkiewicza, spekulatywizm teoretyczny wprowadzający gmach pojęć i twierdzeń „im-plikowanych pojęciem Istnienia”, a jednocześnie uprawianie sztuk jak najbardziej „naocznych” i konkretnych w malarstwie, które nie odrywało się od rzeczywistości w postać powstającego wówczas „abstrakcjonizmu”, to przedziwna konstrukcja psychiczna i duchowa, która może absorbować, intrygować i fascynować niejednego czytelnika dziś i – zapewne – w dość jeszcze odległej przyszłości. Rekonesansujmy więc jego świat czy światy. Są tego warte. Z...

ISBN: 9780231173483 / Angielski / Twarda / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Taste as Experience puts the pleasure of food at the center of human experience. It shows how the sense of taste informs our preferences for and relationship to nature, pushes us toward ethical practices of consumption, and impresses upon us the importance of aesthetics. Eating is often dismissed as a necessary aspect of survival, and our personal enjoyment of food is considered a quirk.

Musical semiotics no longer ignores the fundamental challenges raised by cognitive sciences, ethology, or linguistics. Creation, action, and experience play an increasing role in how we understand music, a sounding structure impinging upon our body, our mind, and the world we live in.

ISBN: 9789810979034 / Angielski / Miękka / 110 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. At the heart of this book lies attempts to read: reading here being understood as the openness to the possibility of another; a relation that occurs prior to any semantic or formal identification, and, therefore, prior to any attempt at assimilating, or appropriating, what is being read to the one who reads. Thus, an event. It opens with Lim Lee Ching's reading of this book; a reading before your reading, as it were. And is followed by Jeremy Fernando's attempts to respond to the many Roland Barthes - all whilst foregrounding the risk that, even as one attempts to read as openness to the...

How Pictures Complete Us: The Beautiful, the Sublime, and the Divine
ISBN: 9780804795739 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Despite the wonders of the digital world, people still go in record numbers to view drawings and paintings in galleries. Why? What is the magic that pictures work on us? This book provides a provocative explanation, arguing that some pictures have special kinds of beauty and sublimity that offer aesthetic transcendence. They take us imaginatively beyond our finite limits and even invoke a sense of the divine. Such aesthetic transcendence forges a relationship with the ultimate and completes us psychologically. Philosophers and theologians sometimes account for this as an effect of art, but...
