‎David Claerbout is bekend om zijn video-installaties die hij wereldwijd tentoonstelt. Sinds zijn eerste videowerken midden jaren negentig won zijn werk snel aan complexiteit. De virtuele fotografie deed zijn werk en denken evolueren naar een verregaande synthetische beeldpraktijk die hem op het voorplan van de nieuwe mediakunst heeft geplaatst. Van daaruit ontwikkelde Claerbout een kritiek over de impact van de desintegratie van het vertrouwde fotografische beeld op het niveau van de waarneming en de (zintuiglijke) cognitie en de verregaande sociale en politieke gevolgen. Deze rijk ge llustreerde publicatie presenteert een selectie van werken van de afgelopen tien jaar. In een interview met Jonathan Pouthier, filmcurator voor het Centre Pompidou in Parijs, spreekt David Claerbout voor het eerst in de diepte over deze werken in relatie tot actuele discussies over fotografie, film en het virtuele. De publicatie valt samen met de Bi nnale van Veneti 2022 en solotentoonstellingen in onder meer M nchen, Berlijn, Boedapest en New York. //// Long-awaited monumental monograph on the work of David Claerbout In a conversation with Jonathan Pouthier, curator of the cinema programme of the Mus e National d?Art Moderne, Centre Pompidou (Paris, France), video artist David Claerbout reflects for the first time in depth on his work of the past decade in relation to current discussions about photography, film and the virtual.

From the time of his first video works in the mid-1990s, his work rapidly gained in complexity. Virtual photography pushed his work and thinking towards a far-reaching synthetic visual practice that placed him at the forefront of the new media art. From that position, Claerbout developed a critique of the impact of the disintegration of the familiar photographic image at the level of perception and (sensory) cognition and its profound social and political consequences. This richly illustrated publication presents a selection of works from the past ten years. In an interview with Jonathan Pouthier, film curator at the Pompidou Centre in Paris, David Claerbout speaks in depth for the first time about these works in relation to current discussions about photography, film and the virtual.

‎LUCIAN FREUD De zelfportretten‎

‎, Tijdsbeeld-Piece Mont e, 2019 Gebonden, Hardcover 260 x 230 mm, 160 pages, 130 colour illustrations Nederlandstalige uitgave . ISBN 9789490880255.‎

‎ALLE zelfportretten van Lucian Freud nu in n boek verzameld. In 1964 gaf Lucian Freud (1922-2011) zijn studenten aan het Norwich College of Art een opdracht: om naakte zelfportretten te schilderen die 'onthullend, sprekend, geloofwaardig ... echt zonder schaamte' waren. Het was een advies dat de kunstenaar zelf later ook zou volgen in zijn vele zelfportretten. Rauw, onversaagd en vaak naakt lezen Freuds zelfportretten als het ware als zijn biografie, en geven zij tegelijk inzicht in de ontwikkeling van zijn stijl als schilder. In de portetten is de kunstenaar steeds overweldigend aanwezig, of hij nu de rechtstreeks de confrontatie met de toeschouwer aangaat, of alleen aanwezig is als een schaduw of in een reflectie. Freud verkende het genre van het zelfportret op tal van onverwachte manieren. Autoriteiten op het gebied van Freuds leven en werk - kunsthistorici n mensen die hem persoonlijk hebben gekend - verkennen Freuds oeuvre en analyseren het belang van zijn zelfportretten. Een gesprek tussen kunsthistoricus Jasper Sharp en de actrice Tilda Swinton gaat in op de intensiteit waarmee Freud het menselijk lichaam bestudeerde - een intensiteit waarvan Swinton een bevoorrecht getuige was, maar die evenzeer gold wanneer Freud zijn eigen lichaam bestudeerde en op doek zette. David Dawson is een schilder en fotograaf en Freuds voormalige studio-assistent. Joseph Koerner is Victor S. Thomas hoogleraar kunst en architectuur aan de universiteit van Harvard. Jasper Sharp is adjunct-curator voor moderne en hedendaagse kunst in het Kunsthistorisches Museum in Wenen. Pulitzer Prize-winnaar en kunstcriticus Sebastian Smee is auteur van The Art of Rivalry: Four Friendships, Betrayals and Throughthroughs in Modern Art (2016). Tilda Swinton is een Oscar-winnende actrice, model en kunstenares.

‎From Sithiu to Saint-Bertin. Hagiographic Exegesis and Collective Memory in the Early Medieval Cults of Omer and Bertin‎

‎, Brepols, 2019 Hardback, xiii + 340 pages, Size:152 x 229 mm, Illustrations:3 maps b/w, Language: English. ISBN 9780888442192.‎

‎Summary Medieval historians who have explored the abbey of Sithiu (modern Saint-Omer) have often done so to explain the competition between the canons of Saint-Omer and the monks of Saint-Bertin, a rivalry deriving from their shared origins in the abbey of Sithiu. However, David Defries's book centers on the cooperative relationship that developed between the saints Omer and Bertin in the monks' collective memory. Throughout the early Middle Ages, the cults of the abbey's two patron saints shaped the life of the community at Sithiu, and the first four centuries of its development reveal how a group of monks negotiated their place in the larger Christian West, adapting Columbanian and Benedictine identities to fit the relationship they discerned between Omer and Bertin. The evolution of Sithiu's collective memory demonstrates that the methods used in most studies of early medieval collective memory produce a distorted image of the partnership. Historians overwhelmingly assume that collective memory has a narrative structure and that the texts meant to shape its evolution are "historiographic" in form. In contrast, David Defries treats Sithiu's historiography as a type of scriptural exegesis that emphasizes the allegorical levels, especially typology and tropology, of the Christian scriptural hermeneutic. Paradigm, not narration, structured early medieval Christian allegory and thus early medieval collective memory at the abbey. This argument has broad implications for the study of early medieval collective memory. The intellectual culture of Sithiu was typical of the early medieval West, and all the texts considered date between c. 740 and c. 1148, situating them in a period when writers trained in monasteries like Sithiu produced the vast majority of western European literature. From Sithiu to Saint-Bertin may thus be seen as a preliminary case study for the value of paradigmatic approaches to early medieval memory.‎

‎Summary Le lettere del medico fiorentino Alessandro Pini (1653-1717) e il suo trattato De moribus Turcarum fanno emergere un'immagine avvincente del popolo egiziano e della cultura ottomana. Ci che Pini ha osservato in Egitto e nel mondo ottomano rivela una straordinaria dimensione mediterranea di commistione culturale, fatta di scambi e di incontri scaturiti dalle necessit lavorative e anche dalla semplice quotidianit . Oltre alla missione scientifica ufficiale egli doveva svolgere un'intrigante attivit spionistica per Cosimo III, Granduca di Toscana, in cui si rivel poi fallimentare. Amareggiato e osteggiato per l'insuccesso, pass poi alle dipendenze della Repubblica di Venezia e dimor per vari anni a Istanbul e in Morea, dove senza pregiudizi e con ampiezza di vedute osserv le tradizioni e i costumi dei popoli che incontrava. Decise dunque consapevolmente di scrivere l'esaltazione di un mondo che l'Occidente vedeva come il suo alter ego negativo. Sebbene fosse stato imprigionato nella sua societ di adozione, Pini rimase affascinato, forse anche ipnotizzato, da quello stesso mondo che lo aveva variamente premiato e frustrato sia nel suo lavoro ufficiale che nel suo incarico segreto.

‎Reception of Biblical Figures. Essays in Method‎

‎Summary This volume explores the reception of biblical figures in Judaism, Christianity and Islam, with a particular focus on Antiquity and incursions in the Middle Ages and modernity. The contributions included here offer a glimpse of the complexity of the mechanics of transmission to which these figures were subjected in extra-biblical texts, either concentrating on one author or corpus in particular, or broadening the scope across time and cultural contexts. The volume intends to shed light on how these biblical figures and their legacies appear as channels of collective memory and identity; how they became tools for authors to achieve specific goals; how they gained new and powerful authority for communities; and how they transcend traditions and cultural boundaries. As a result, the vitality and fluidity of the developments of traditions become clear and prompt caution when using modern categories.

‎Summary Music in the Disruptive Era contains fifteen essays assessing the impact of today's revolutionary digital technologies on the ways audiences and industry professionals perceive, compose, consume, research, and communicate about music. After an initial assessment of ?the Disruptive Era? in a series of six snapshots offering a summary and review of some of the technological challenges (and opportunities) confronting both music producers and consumers, a group of international scholars considers the impact of the digital era in three major areas. First, there is the revolution in data storage and retrieval, with online archives and other digital resources making an unprecedented volume and diversity of information available to scholars and researchers for the first time ? all from the convenience of a home desktop. Second, three essays assess some of the myriad ways in which composers and music industry professionals have been influenced by the potentialities and discontinuities of the current age to find creative inspiration, attract new audiences, and reimagine traditional musical idioms. Finally, on the cutting edge of the digital divide, scholarly contributors examine two of the countless new genres birthed by the advent of the latest technological innovations: specifically, the ?meme? and the ?video loop.?

‎Summary Claudius Ptolemy (c. 100-170 AD) is one of the most influential scholars of all time. While he is also the author of treatises on geography, optics and harmonics, his fame primarily stems from two works on the science of the stars, dealing with mathematical astronomy (the Almagest) and astrology (the Tetrabiblos). The Almagest and the Tetrabiblos remained the fundamental texts on the science of the stars for some 1500 years. Both were translated several times into Arabic and Latin and were heavily commented upon, glossed, discussed, and also criticised and improved upon, in the Islamic world and in Christian Europe. Yet, the reception of Ptolemy in medieval cultures is still to a large extent a terra incognita of the history of science. The Arabic and Latin versions of the Almagest and the Tetrabiblos are for the most part unavailable in modern editions, their manuscripts remain largely unexplored and, generally speaking, their history has never been systematically investigated. This volume gathers together fifteen contributions dealing with various aspects of the reception of Ptolemy's astronomy and astrology in the Islamic world and in Christian Europe up to the seventeenth century. Contributions are by Jos Bellver, Jean-Patrice Boudet, Josep Casulleras, Bojidar Dimitrov, Dirk Grupe, Paul Hullmeine, Alexander Jones, Richard L. Kremer, Y. Tzvi Langermann, H.

‎Tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog werd er in Nederland weinig gebouwd, afgezien van verdedigingswerken. Daardoor wordt deze periode in veel architectuurgeschiedenissen min of meer overgeslagen. Dat betekent echter niet dat er niets gebeurde. De Duitse bezettingsmacht installeerde de Nederlandsche Kultuurkamer, die onder andere de opdracht kreeg om de architectuur op nationaalsocialistische leest te schoeien. Het ging daarbij niet alleen om de ideologische aspecten van het vak maar ook om de praktische, zodat de Bond van Nederlandse Architecten opgeheven zou kunnen worden. In het kielzog van de machtsstrijd die zich ontspon, ontstonden verschillende ideeen over een nieuwe architectuur. Bouwkunst en de Nieuwe Orde richt zich op architecten die werden aangeklaagd, en vaak veroordeeld, wegens collaboratie. Net als alle andere Nederlanders konden zij worden berecht via het Bijzonder Strafrecht. Voor ?lichtere? gevallen werd een Ereraad voor Architectuur opgericht, waarin vakgenoten het gedrag van collega?s moesten beoordelen. Hoewel dit werk van naming en shaming achteraf alom als een mislukking werd beschouwd, hebben de uitspraken grote invloed gehad op de beeldvorming over de betrokkenen. De reputaties van een hele generatie architecten werden erdoor gered of gebroken. ‎

‎World-maps for Finding the Direction and Distance to Mecca : Innovation and Tradition in Islamic Science‎

‎, Brill, 1999 Hardcover, 638 pages, ENG, 295 x 230 x 40 mm, book is in very good condition !, dustjacket is included but in bad shape, however the book is better without it, illustrated in colour / b/w . ISBN 9789004113671.‎

‎Two remarkable Iranian world-maps were discovered in 1989 and 1995. Both are made of brass and date from 17th-century Iran. Mecca is at the centre and a highly sophisticated longitude and latitude grid enables the user to determine the direction and distance to Mecca for anywhere in the world between Andalusia and China. Prior to the discovery of these maps it was thought that such cartographic grids were conceived in Europe ca. 1910. This richly-illustrated book presents an overview of the ways in which Muslims over the centuries have determined the sacred direction towards Mecca (qibla) and then describes the two world-maps in detail. The author shows that the geographical data derives from a 15th-century Central Asian source and that the mathematics underlying the grid was developed in 9th-century Baghdad.‎

‎J. Samuel White & Co., Shipbuilders : An Illustrated History of the Oldest Shipyard on the Admiralty List‎

‎, The History Press Ltd 2012, 2012 Paperback, 175 pages, English, 235 x 165 mm, book in perfect condition , with much illustrations in b/w,. ISBN 9780752466125.‎

‎J. Samuel White & Company was the oldest firm on the Admiralty List and built 252 ships for the Royal Navy alone. The yard's closure in 1966 ended 300 years of shipbuilding during which time the company had gained acclaim from mercantile and naval customers alike. Famed early on for fast Revenue cutters and naval brigs, in its final years Royal Navy destroyers earned it great distinction. Highly innovative, it developed and patented many pioneering products while other innovations included semi-diesel engines, heat exchangers, air conditioners and compressors, besides a range of marine thruster units. Not only did the company build ships and boats but it also constructed a range of marine aircraft. During the First World War, White's production accounted for 100 ships, including twenty-seven destroyers, and 201 seaplanes. Production during the Second World War added up to 317 ships, among them twenty-six destroyers and a large minelayer. Illustrated with photographs of these and many of the company's other products, this book tells the story of J. Samuel White and its subsidiary concerns, a business built on a reputation of quality which earned it the slogan: White's-built - well-built! .‎
