El niño problema

Autor: Guillermo Javier Nogueira

Número de Páginas: 272

En el presente libro, Guillermo Javier Nogueira aborda los ejes fundamentales a tener en cuenta en la tarea profesional orientada a los niños problema en edad escolar, lo que implica un complejo entramado de interrogantes en torno a quién aprende, cómo, por qué, dónde, cuándo, de quién y para qué se aprende. De esa manera, el "niño problema", con sus patologías ciertas y dudosas, es contemplado desde el paradigma bio-psico-social, modelo interactivo multifactorial, heredero epistemológico de las series complementarias freudianas. La lectura de los casos clínicos muestra esta visión global del niño con sus dificultades, pero no escapan de la observación la familia, los maestros, los profesionales, la escuela y la totalidad del entorno social. Se trata, en definitiva, de un libro fundamental para padres, profesionales y docentes comprometidos con la responsabilidad de ocuparse del proceso de aprendizaje y sus dificultades en los niños. La observación acompañada y guiada por el conocimiento teórico-experiencial, seguida por la explicación, la comprensión y la interpretación, llevarán al diseño de estrategias correctivas que llamamos terapéutica o tratamiento. ...

Nerviosos y neuróticos en Buenos Aires (1880-1900)

Autor: Mauro Vallejo

Número de Páginas: 237

En 1892 una de las primeras médicas argentinas escribió que una mujer porteña no podía ser chic sin ser al mismo tiempo "exquisitamente nerviosa". Este volumen reconstruye la historia de esa alquimia enfermiza, merced a la cual la moda, la expansión del consumo y la metamorfosis de la vida urbana atizaron la irrupción de una nueva experiencia llamada neurosis. Durante las últimas dos décadas del siglo XIX, Buenos Aires se transformó en el hábitat hospitalario de unos sujetos que no parecían hechos para el manicomio, pero que vivían atormentados por el insomnio, el desasosiego o los dolores gástricos. La medicina teórica, que a duras penas había aprendido a reconocer delirios o impulsos ciegos, se mostró desconcertada ante la profusión de esos neuróticos, que no eran peligrosos y tenían hábitos de buenos cosmopolitas. En base al estudio de fuentes variadas (avisos publicitarios, tesis médicas, folletos olvidables y novelas casi canónicas) este libro reconstruye las superficies o tramas culturales en que esa novedad fue modulada. Un imaginativo mercado de remedios, los institutos médicos privados (de gimnasia mecánica, hipnosis o electroterapia) y unas...

Legacies of Power in American Music

Autor: Judith A. Mabary

Número de Páginas: 408

This volume honors and extends the contributions of educator and scholar Dr. Michael J. Budds to the field of musicology, particularly the study of American music. As the longtime editor of two book series for the College Music Society, Budds nurtured a wide range of scholarship in American music and had a lasting impact on the field. This book brings together scholars who worked with Budds as a colleague, editor, or mentor to carry on his legacy of passionate engagement with America’s rich and varied musical heritage. Ranging through jazz, gospel, Americana, and film music to American classical, and addressing music’s social contexts and analytical structure, the research gathered here attests to the diversity of the mosaic that is American music and the numerous scholarly approaches that have been taken to the subject.

Jackson Pollock

Autor: Deborah Solomon

Número de Páginas: 320

Deborah Solomon's biography sets Jackson Pollock in his time and portrays him as a shy, often withdrawn person, full of insecurities and self-doubts, and frequently unable to express himself about his art or its meaning. Solomon interviewed two hundred people who knew Pollock and his work and she has drawn extensively on Pollock's own writings and other personal papers. She examines the artist's relationships with his family; his wife and fellow artist Lee Krasner; art patron Peggy Guggenheim; the painters Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko, and many more.

Tom and Jack

Autor: Henry Adams

Número de Páginas: 416

The drip paintings of Jackson Pollock, trailblazing Abstract Expressionist, appear to be the polar opposite of Thomas Hart Benton's highly figurative Americana. Yet the two men had a close and highly charged relationship dating from Pollock's days as a student under Benton. Pollock's first and only formal training came from Benton, and the older man soon became a surrogate father to Pollock. In true Oedipal fashion, Pollock even fell in love with Benton's wife. Pollock later broke away from his mentor artistically, rocketing to superstardom with his stunning drip compositions. But he never lost touch with Benton or his ideas-in fact, his breakthrough abstractions reveal a strong debt to Benton's teachings. I n an epic story that ranges from the cafés and salons of Gertrude Stein's Paris to the highways of the American West, Henry Adams, acclaimed author of Eakins Revealed, unfolds a poignant personal drama that provides new insights into two of the greatest artists of the twentieth century.

Coastal Metropolis

Autor: Carl A. Zimring , Steven H. Corey

Número de Páginas: 297

Built on an estuary, New York City is rich in population and economic activity but poor in available land to manage the needs of a modern city. Since consolidation of the five boroughs in 1898, New York has faced innumerable challenges, from complex water and waste management issues, to housing and feeding millions of residents in a concentrated area, to dealing with climate change in the wake of Superstorm Sandy, and everything in between. Any consideration of sustainable urbanism requires understanding how cities have developed the systems that support modern life and the challenges posed by such a concentrated population. As the largest city in the United States, New York City is an excellent site to investigate these concerns. Featuring an array of the most distinguished and innovative urban environmental historians in the field, Coastal Metropolis offers new insight into how the modern city transformed its air, land, and water as it grew.

Shivers Down Your Spine

Autor: Alison Griffiths

Número de Páginas: 392

From the architectural spectacle of the medieval cathedral and the romantic sublime of the nineteenth-century panorama to the techno-fetishism of today's London Science Museum, humans have gained a deeper understanding of the natural world through highly illusionistic representations that engender new modes of seeing, listening, and thinking. What unites and defines many of these wondrous spaces is an immersive view-an invitation to step inside the virtual world of the image and become a part of its universe, if only for a short time. Since their inception, museums of science and natural history have mixed education and entertainment, often to incredible, eye-opening effect. Immersive spaces of visual display and modes of exhibition send "shivers" down our spines, engaging the distinct cognitive and embodied mapping skills we bring to spectacular architecture and illusionistic media. They also force us to reconsider traditional models of film spectatorship in the context of a mobile and interactive spectator. Through a series of detailed historical case studies, Alison Griffiths masterfully explores the uncanny and unforgettable visceral power of the medieval cathedral, the...

Lewisboro Ghosts

Autor: Maureen Koehl

Número de Páginas: 148

On the easternmost edge of Westchester County, among the quiet communities nestled against the Connecticut state line, memories of eerie incidents and haunted happenings flow through the generations like the currents of the nearby Hudson River. The old-timers of South Salem and Waccabuc still recall the legendary Leather Man, an itinerant vagabond who rambled mysteriously through the region in the late 1800s. Over in Goldens Bridge they whisper of the Christmas Soldier, an apparition of a Revolutionary-era Patriot who stalks the Highway 22 corridor. And beneath Long Pond Mountain the locals listen attentively for the Wail of the Wind, the sorrowful moan attributed to two ghostly parents lamenting their sons drowning. Read Maureen Koehls Lewisboro Ghosts to discover the spooky stories and supernatural sightings that linger in this tucked-away corner of the lower Hudson Valley.

Mobilizing Against Nuclear Energy

Autor: Christian Joppke

Número de Páginas: 524

In the past two decades young people, environmentalists, church activists, leftists, and others have mobilized against nuclear energy. Anti-nuclear protest has been especially widespread and vocal in Western Europe and the United States. In this lucid, richly documented book, Christian Joppke compares the rise and fall of these protest movements in Germany and the United States, illuminating the relationship between national political structures and collective action. He analyzes existing approaches to the study of social movements and suggests an insightful new paradigm for research in this area. Joppke proposes a political process perspective that focuses on the interrelationship between the state and social movements, a model that takes into account a variety of forces, including differential state structures, political cultures, movement organizations, and temporal and contextual factors. This is an invaluable work for anyone studying the dynamics of social movements around the world. In the past two decades young people, environmentalists, church activists, leftists, and others have mobilized against nuclear energy. Anti-nuclear protest has been especially widespread and...

An Audience of Artists

Autor: Catherine Craft

Número de Páginas: 326

An Audience of Artists turns this time line for the postwar New York art world on its head, presenting a new pedigree for these artistic movements. Drawing on an array of previously unpublished material, Catherine Craft reveals that Neo-Dada, far from being a reaction to Abstract Expressionism, actually originated at the heart of that movement's concerns about viewers, originality, and artists' debts to the past and one another. Furthermore, she argues, the original Dada movement was not incompatible with Abstract Expressionism. In fact, Dada provided a vital historical reference for artists and critics seeking to come to terms with the radical departure from tradition that Abstract Expressionism seemed to represent. Tracing the activities of artists such as Robert Motherwell, Barnett Newman, and Jackson Pollock alongside Marcel Duchamp's renewed embrace of Dada in the late 1940s, Craft explores the challenges facing artists trying to work in the wake of a destructive world war and the paintings, objects, writings, and installations that resulted from their efforts."--Jacket.

Hemispheric Integration

Autor: Niko Vicario

Número de Páginas: 309

Exploring art made in Latin America during the 1930s and 1940s, Hemispheric Integration argues that Latin America’s position within a global economic order was crucial to how art from that region was produced, collected, and understood. Niko Vicario analyzes art’s relation to shifting trade patterns, geopolitical realignments, and industrialization to suggest that it was in this specific era that the category of Latin American art developed its current definition. Focusing on artworks by iconic Latin American modernists such as David Alfaro Siqueiros, Joaquín Torres-García, Cândido Portinari, and Mario Carreño, Vicario emphasizes the materiality and mobility of art and their connection to commerce, namely the exchange of raw materials for manufactured goods from Europe and the United States. An exceptional examination of transnational culture, this book provides a new model for the study of Latin American art.

Shark Bytes

Autor: John Bantin

Número de Páginas: 476

The popular image of sharks is of a dorsal fin cleaving the surface as it rushes to its next kill, but this is a limited caricature. There are over 500 species to choose from, most of whom are far more frightened of humans than vice versa. In this beautiful book, diving veteran John Bantin recounts many tales of his diving with several species of sharks and other marine animals over the last 4 decades. Accompanied by his own stunning photography, the captivating, spectacular and sometimes shocking encounters show the reader what it is like to get up close and personal to these bizarre and beautiful creatures. The sharks covered range from the great whale sharks to the small blacktip reef shark, in locations extending to all corners of the globe.

The Art of Rivalry

Autor: Sebastian Smee

Número de Páginas: 404

This is a story about rivalry among artists. Not the kind of rivalry that grows out of hatred and dislike, but rather, rivalry that emerges from admiration, friendship, love. The kind of rivalry that existed between Degas and Manet, Picasso and Matisse, Pollock and de Kooning, and Freud and Bacon. These were some of the most famous and creative relationships in the history of art, driving each individual to heights of creativity and inspiration - and provoking them to despair, jealousy and betrayal. Matisse's success threatened Picasso so much that his friends would throw darts at a portrait of his rival's beloved daughter Marguerite, shouting 'there's one in the eye for Matisse!' And Willem de Kooning's twisted friendship with Jackson Pollock didn't stop him taking up with his friend's lover barely a year after Pollock's fatal car crash. In The Art of Rivalry, Pulitzer Prize-winning art critic Sebastian Smee explores how, as both artists struggled to come into their own, they each played vital roles in provoking the other's creative breakthroughs - ultimately determining the course of modern art itself.

Thomas Hart Benton

Autor: Justin Wolff

Número de Páginas: 417

Born in Missouri at the end of the nineteenth century, Thomas Hart Benton would become the most notorious and celebrated painter America had ever seen. The first artist to make the cover of Time, he was a true original: an heir to both the rollicking populism of his father's political family and the quiet life of his Appalachian grandfather. In his twenties, he would find his calling in New York, where he was drawn to memories of his small-town youth—and to visions of the American scene. By the mid-1930s, Benton's heroic murals were featured in galleries, statehouses, universities, and museums, and magazines commissioned him to report on the stories of the day. Yet even as the nation learned his name, he was often scorned by critics and political commentators, many of whom found him too nationalistic and his art too regressive. Even Jackson Pollock, his once devoted former student, would turn away from him in dramatic fashion. A boxer in his youth, Benton was quick to fight back, but the widespread backlash had an impact—and foreshadowed many of the artistic debates that would dominate the coming decades. In this definitive biography, Justin Wolff places Benton in the context...

Handbook of Phenomenological Aesthetics

Autor: Hans Rainer Sepp , Lester Embree

Número de Páginas: 376

Historically, phenomenology began in Edmund Husserl’s theory of mathematics and logic, went on to focus for him on transcendental rst philosophy and for others on metaphysics, philosophical anthropology, and theory of interpretation. The c- tinuing focus has thus been on knowledge and being. But if one began without those interests and with an understanding of the phenomenological style of approach, one might well see that art and aesthetics make up the most natural eld to be approached phenomenologically. Contributions to this eld have continually been made in the phenomenological tradition from very early on, but, so to speak, along the side. (The situation has been similar with phenomenological ethics. ) A great deal of thought about art and aesthetics has nevertheless accumulated during a century and a handbook like the present one is long overdue. The project of this handbook began in conversations over dinner in Sepp’s apa- ment in Baden-Baden at one evening of the hot European summer in the year 2003. As things worked out, he knew more about whom to ask and how much space to allocate to each entry and Embree knew more about how to conduct the inviting, preliminary...

Weltkrieg mit Worten

Autor: Gerrit Lungershausen

Número de Páginas: 351

Gerrit Lungershausen untersucht Kriegsromane, -novellen und -erzählungen zur Zeit des ‚Dritten Reichs‘. Der Autor erschließt ein umfangreiches Korpus von 188 Kriegsprosatexten zwischen 1933 und 1940, die bislang wenig Beachtung in der Forschung fanden, was angesichts ihrer weiten Verbreitung erstaunlich ist. Ein Ergebnis dieser Studie ist die Tatsache, dass das Ausmaß der Kriegsliteratur bislang nicht voll erfasst worden ist. Im Zentrum stehen Romane damaliger Bestsellerautoren wie Paul Coelestin Ettighoffer, Otto Paust und Werner Beumelburg. Diese formten nach 1933 den Typus des populären ‚Kriegsbuches‘ und machten den Ersten Weltkrieg zum literarischen Paradesujet sondergleichen, zum Teil unter Rückgriff auf einen bildungsbürgerlichen Literaturkanon und unter Einbezug moderner Verfahren.
