The enormous variety of netsuke subjects are thoroughly examined, including famous battles and samurai, kabuki and noh actors and plays, scandalous stories, animals and imaginary creatures, Buddhist sages, and Shinto rituals. Essays by Hollis Goodall and Sebastian Izzard examine the sources of subject matter, development of regional styles, and trends in Japanese art as reflected in netsuke. Odile Madden discusses techniques used by carvers to create ivory netsuke. Virginia Atchley, Neil Davey, and Robert T. Singer describe the art of netsuke, Raymond Bushell as a collector, and his relationship with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Also included are maps of ancient and modern Japan, an illustrated reference of 535 artists signatures, a glossary, and a detailed index. With 827 netsuke and 20 inro shown in more than 1,000 color illustrations, this catalogue will delight and inform netsuke collectors and initiate other art lovers into this expressive and beautiful art form.

Imago Figurata. Studies
IFSTU 4, Mundus Emblematicus, Studies in Neo-Latin Emblem Books.

Brepols. Imago Figurata. Studies IFSTU 4 Mundus Emblematicus Studies in Neo-Latin Emblem Books. K. A. E. Enenkel, A. S. Q. Visser (eds.) XVI+384 p., 160 x 235 mm, 2003, Hardback ISBN 978-2-503-51202-0, EUR 75.00 Available English Text: The thirteen articles in this volume deal with the Neo-Latin emblem book after the birth of the genre with Andrea Alciato's Emblematum libellus (1531). While the interest in emblematics has grown considerably during the last decades, the seminal Neo-Latin production has received relatively little attention. In Mundus Emblematicus an international team of experts in the field makes this part of the emblem tradition accessible to a broad scholarly audience. The articles cover a variety of emblem books published at the time, ranging from influential humanist collections (for instance those by Achille Bocchi, Hadrianus Junius, or Joachim Camerarius) to alchemist (Michael Maier) or religious emblems (such as the books of the Calvinist Theodere de Beze, or the Jesuit Herman Hugo). In each paper subjects dealt with include the historical context of the work and its makers, the relation between word and image, the structure of the collection as a whole, and the emblematic game (intertextuality in word and image). Moreover, several articles explore the interaction between the emblem and connected literary phenomena, like the commonplace-book, the fable or the use of commentaries. All papers are in English and all examples from Latin texts are translated. Together, these articles show the variety within the Neo-Latin emblem production, thus challenging traditional approaches of the emblem. As such Mundus Emblematicus contributes towards a more comprehensive view of the forms and functions of the genre as a whole. Contents Karl Enenkel and Arnoud Visser, Introduction A. Moss, Emblems into Commonplaces: The Anthologies of Josephus Langius D. S. Russell, Claude Mignault, Erasmus and Simon Bouquet: The Function of the Commentaries on Alciato's Emblems C. L.

Now she turns her expert eye to the one person whose teachings and writings are the most influential of all: psychoanalyst Carl Gustav Jung. The founder of analytical psychology, Jung became the first president of the International Psychoanalytic Association in 1910. Jung had a professional relationship with Sigmund Freud until he broke with the elder father of psychoanalysis over his emphasis on infantile sexuality and the Oedipus complex.As Freud's influence has waned over the years, Jung's ideas-the collective unconscious, the archetypal myths underpinning all societies, synchronicity, 'new age' spirituality, and much more-have achieved an overwhelming ascendancy.Bair addresses the myths about Jung-accusations that he was an anti-Semite and a misogynist, and that he falsified data-with evidence from his own writings and from those of his colleagues and former patients. The result is a groundbreaking and accessible work that promises to be the definitive life of Carl Jung." .

WATT, Peter Ridgway and Joseph Green
The Alternative Sherlock Holmes. Pastiches, Parodies and Copies
|
Williston, VT: Ashgate, 2003, First Edition. boards. New. . quarto, . Between 1887 and 1927, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote sixty Sherlock Holmes stories, and his great Canon has become the most praised, most studied, and best-known chapter in the history of detective fiction. Over twenty thousand publications pertaining to the Sherlock Holmes phenomenon are known to have been published, most of them historical and critical studies. In addition, however, almost since the first stories appeared, such was their uniqueness and extraordinary attraction that other authors began writing stories based on or derived from them. A new genre had appeared: pastiches; parodies; burlesques; and stories that attempted to copy or rival the great detective himself. As the field widened, there was hardly a year in the twentieth century in which new short stories or novels did not appear. Many hundreds are now known to have been published, some of them written by authors well-known for their work in other literary fields: John Kendrick Bangs, Jon L. Breen, Agatha Christie, August Derleth, Philip Jose Farmer, Maurice Leblanc, Ellery Queen, Vincent Starrett, and many, many more. Presented as an entertaining narrative, of interest to both the aficionado and the scholar, it provides full bibliographic data on virtually all the known stories in the field.

Eggers, Dave
YOU SHALL KNOW OUR VELOCITY - Uncorrected Proof
|
London, England: Hamish Hamilton - 1st Printing. 371 pages. Published in 2003. The author's debut novel. Uncorrected Proof. The first appearance of the title in the United Kingdom, very few copies of the Proof were printed, making it rare. A brilliant production by Hamish Hamilton: Regular-sized volume format. Softcovers with the opening paragraph of the novel on the cover and titles on the spine, as issued. Text by Dave Eggers. Without DJ, as issued. Excerpted in The New Yorker Magazine, Dave Eggers' novel is, in many ways, a further exploration of the themes of his breakthrough memoir, "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius". His ears are keenly attuned to the malaise as well as the redeeming possibilities of contemporary life. The British sincerely believe that the English language has not been spoken or written in the United States for more than two hundred years. So the glowing blurbs on Dave Eggers that appear on the back cover are quite encouraging: "He writes wonderfully. An extremely impressive debut" (John Banville). One of the most distinctive, urgent, and interesting voices in contemporary American literature, this is a work of staggering ambition and achievement. A "must-have" edition for Dave Eggers collectors. This is the only copy of the Uncorrected Proof we have ever seen, is available online, and has no flaws, a pristine beauty. As far as we know, there was no Uncorrected Proof of the American Edition. A rare copy thus. One of the finest living American writers. A flawless collectible copy.

Icon and Word : The Power of Images in Byzantium
|
Ashgate Publishing, Limited, Aldershot, United Kingdom 2003 - 350 pages. Unread. Icons are traditionally regarded as timeless, motionless and eternal: windows onto Heaven. But it is not enough to simply wonder at their unchanging portrayal of divinity. How did they work? What did Byzantine culture want icons for? In what ways did Byzantines conceive these images as more meaningful and more powerful than simply pictures? What was the nature of the divinity of icons? "Icon and Word" brings together the work of a group of scholars to re-examine these notions. The resulting papers demonstrate the dynamism of the image in the medieval world. They explore not just what an icon is, but how it functions in different contexts, periods and cultures, and look at images in a broad range of media, in addition to the traditional format of painted panels: ivory carvings, manuscript illuminations and monumental wall paintings. Some of the papers engage directly with an object or group of objects to ask questions about the power and significance of icons in a range of different cultural contexts - Rome, Cairo, the Medieval West and Byzantium. Others look specifically at the nature of the Byzantine icon within its own society, above all in the years after the Iconoclast Dispute, a dispute that established the place of icons within Orthodox religion forever. "Icon and Word" discovers the power and significance of icons, and why they mattered so much in Byzantium that the Empire was in uproar for over a century. [Attributes: Hard Cover]

D B C Pierre - SIGNED HB WORLD FIRST
Vernon God Little - FIRST PRINTING
|
London: Faber, 2003, 2003. Signed by Author. This is Pierre's first novel and it is a multiple winner. First it received a Guardian book award and and then the Booker Prize. That is enough to make it collectable, but this copy is the elusive British world first edition, first impression, hardback. It is also SIGNED by the author on the title page. The Faber hardback was printed in a small edition. This copy is perfect, as new and unread, opened only for the signature. Unclipped and protected jacket. The true First Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other editions. Published in a very small first print run to great acclaim including The New Yorker, where it was compared to "Catcher In The Rye". The basis for the comparison is primarily the eponymous character, who, like Holden Caulfield, is a frustrated teenager. If Vernon sounds too intelligent and aware for his age, Joyce Carol Oates quickly points out that the novel's greatest strength is the author's "flawless ear for adolescent-boy speech. To his young narrator, virtually every adjective is 'f-----' and every vision of every adult is laced with repugnance, especially those adults in authority. Vernon is a Holden Caulfield on amphetamines. 'Vernon God Little' is raucous and brooding, coarse and lyrical, corrosive and sentimental in about equal measure and in the right way" (Joyce Carol Oates). DBC Pierre is the pseudonym of Peter Warren Finlay, born in Australia, raised in the US and Mexico. He now divides his time in London, Sydney, and Dublin. DBC stands for "Dirty But Clean". When going after this sought after book make sure the white board cover is nice and clean. This one is pristine.. ISBN: 0571215157. Signed by Author(s). 1st Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine.

Palgrave MacM 2003. - NEAR FINE. Hardback, 336pp., NEW, On November 17, 1901, Mexico City police raided a private party and arrested 41 men, half of whom were dressed as women. Clandestine transvestite balls were not unheard of at this time, and a raid would not normally gain national attention. However, Mexican cultural trends in literature, art, the sciences, and in journalism were inciting an atmosphere of sexual curiosity that was in search of the right turn of events to ignite a discursive explosion and focus interest on what was not a new phenomenon, but what was about to become a new concept: homosexuality. The editors treat the 'nefarious' ball as a cultural event in itself and have assembled pictures, including the famous engravings by Posada, and have translated part of an historical novel about the event. At the same time, they uncover the underworld in Mexico City with essays on prison conditions, criminology, mental health discourse, and working class masculinities to create a rare and comprehensive slice of Mexican history at the turn of the century.

Brepols Publishers. Hardcover. 2503513891 In the modern world, interest in religious devotion is as great as ever.

Topics include women transvestite saints, Monophysite wall-paintings, Anglo-Saxon sainthood and painful martyrdom, Carmelite self-redefinition, the confident authorship of Gautier de Coinci and Matfre Ermengaud, competition between the bishop and a wandering preacher for popular favour in Le Mans, the contemplative philanthropies of the Poor Clares, Chester Nativity-cycle actors' masculinity, Jean Gerson's warm relations with his siblings, and George' Herbert's eucharistic feeling. The authors' profound familiarity with primary sources as well as the influence of current theory makes these essays vibrant and timely. The volume comprises the following articles: Leslie S.B. MacCoull, 'A dwelling place of Christ, a healing place of knowledge': the Non-Chalcedonian Eucharist in Late Antique Egypt and its setting'; Laila Abdalla, 'Theology and culture: masculinizing the woman'; Peter Dendle,' Pain and saint-making in Andreas, Bede, and the Old English Lives of St. Margaret'; Andreas Rher, 'From hermits to mendicant friars: continuity and change in the Carmelite order'; Holly Flora, 'A book for poverty's daughters: gender and devotion in Paris Bibliotheque Nationale Ital. 115'; John Ott, 'Auhtority, heresy, and popular devotion: Le Mans (1116) reconsidered'; Michelle Bolduc, 'The poetics of authorship and vernacular religious devotion'; Christina M.

Caroli, Flavio
Il Gran Teatro del Mondo. L'Anima e il Volto del Settecento.
|
Skira 2003 - Milano, Palazzo Reale, 13 novembre 2003 - 12 aprile 2004. Milano, 2003; ril., pp. 658, ill. e tavv. b/n col., cm 28x24. (Arte Antica.Cataloghi). Conceived and curated by Flavio Caroli, this is a superb exhibition on the eighteenth century, a key period in history in terms of transformation and knowledge acquired in all fields of human endeavour, and thus important as a point of passage to the contemporary age. The exhibition is an across-the-board examination of that century, and looks at the arts, music, theatre and literature. The eighteenth century, on the threshold of the modern and contemporary world, saw the birth of the ‘personality', that is, the psychological and narrative complexity that supplanted the eccentric characters of the Commedia dell'Arte and the emblematic hero of ‘classic' seventeenth century tragedy. This occurred in literature, in which the novel – with Fielding, Defoe and Swift – was born. It also occurred in theatre, with John Gay and Carlo Goldoni. It occurred in painting, in which scenes from a world that was very different from the Age of Enlightenment became the first reference point for the imagination of artists such as Hogarth, Watteau, Galgario, Ceruti, Crespi and Longhi. Painting narrated a world open to all stimuli from the social environment, including the sophisticated worldly comedy of French artists, the satire of the English, the German vein for story telling, and the poverty that rose to a new expressive dignity with the Italians. Il Gran Teatro del Mondo aims to explore, on a European scale, the field of painting-narrative that matured into the clarity and disillusion of a Europe on the march to the great political, social and philosophical traumas that were to create our own contemporary world. The show presents about 300 works including painting, sculpture, drawings, watercolours, etchings, incisions, prints and books from leading Italian and overseas museums: from the magnificent Portrait of Antonio Riccobono by Giambattista Tiepolo to the deeply miserable poverty in paintings by Ceruti, from the splendid depictions of Rome and Naples by Gaspar Van Wittel to the pleasant scenes of Venetian life by Pietro Longhi (artist par excellence of eighteenth century Venice), from Wright of Derby's evocative and artificially-lit interiors to scenes by Canaletto, the greatest mater of space and gifted with a vision so wide and all-embracing as to be considered precursor to current optical science. The volume is divided into three main parts: Personaggi in ordine di apparizione presents the actors of the great social confrontation of the age (subdivided into Ricchi, the rich according to grand and refined international portraiture, and Poveri, the humble poor who acquire, for the first time, complete expressive dignity); Prima della Rivoluzione. Il romanzo della Pittura moves into the heart of eighteenth century narration and offers, in four chapters, a panorama of landscape and the environment of the rich, libertine and aristocratic world of eighteenth century palace life, and physiognomic studies of the humble and suffered world of the very poor, which was starting to become a central theme not only in painting but also in eighteenth century literature and music; Comincia la grande turbolenza. comprises a single work, Gertude, Amleto e il fantasma del padre di Amleto by Heinrich Fussli and dated 1793. That is the year, in Paris, of the Reign of Terror and Fussli is the painter of the Theatre and of the Terror, the terror of Hamlet who sees the ghost of his father and the terror of man who knows he is no longer in a safe world of certainties. The two earthquakes which occurred forty years earlier, the pre-revolutionary Encyclopaedia and the pre-Romantic messages of the Sublime by Burke, all generated the tidal wave which swept European civilization, taking away with it the Age of Enlightenment and opening the way for contemporary history.

Marcella Althaus-Reid
The Queer God
|
Taylor and Francis(Routledge) 2003 - Introduction Part I: Queering theology 1. Kneeling, deviant theologians 2. Queering hermeneutics 3. Queering God in relationships: Trinitarians and God the orgy 4. Libertine disclosures 5. Permutations 6. The economy of God's exchange rate mechanism Part II: Queer promiscuities 7. Popular anti-theologies of love 8. Demonology: Embodying rebellious spirits 9. Queer holiness: Postcolonial revelationsIn The Queer God , Marcella Althaus-Reid reflects on Latin American spiritual traditions and considers the need for a Queer concept of holiness and a theology of grace outside colonial parameters.There are those who go to gay bars and salsa clubs with rosaries in their pockets, and who make camp chapels of their living rooms. Others enter churches with love letters hidden in their bags, because their need for God and their need for love refuse to fit into different compartments. But what goodness and righteousness can prevail if you are in love with someone whom you are ecclesiastically not supposed to love? Where is God in a salsa bar? The Queer God introduces a new theology from the margins of sexual deviance and economic exclusion. Its chapters on Bisexual Theology, Sadean holiness, gay worship in Brazil and Queer sainthood mark the search for a different face of God - the Queer God who challenges the oppressive powers of heterosexual orthodoxy, whiteness and global capitalism. Inspired by the transgressive spaces of Latin American spirituality, where the experiences of slum children merge with Queer interpretations of grace and holiness, The Queer God seeks to liberate God from the closet of traditional Christian thought, and to embrace God's part in the lives of gays, lesbians and the poor. Only a theology that dares to be radical can show us the presence of God in our times. The Queer God creates a concept of holiness that overcomes sexual and colonial prejudices and shows how Queer Theology is ultimately the search for God's own deliverance. Using Liberation Theology and Queer Theory, it exposes the sexual roots that underlie all theology, and takes the search for God to new depths of social and sexual exclusion.

LIKE A MOTH TO A FLAME: JIM FRENCH
|
Little Bear Press, New York 2003 - np (128pp), 71 illustrations in color and b&w + covers. Designed by Dmitri Levas. This brand new offering from Bruce Weber's Little Bear Press features pioneering male-figure photographer Jim French's collection of 1972 nude studies of object of affection, model David Skrivanek. An interview of French by Weber serves as the introduction for the book, and in the same way as "Chop Suey Club" adoringly captures Peter Johnson's moods and physique, so here does the camera linger throughout on the impressively chiseled (and endowed) Skrivanek. As with all of Little Bear's books, the quality of the design, paper and printing is impeccable. A pristine copy. [Attributes: Hard Cover]

This book takes a new look at this rapidly changing aspect of urban life, examining the relationships between young adults, nightlife and city spaces. It focuses on what the authors call 'urban nightscapes' - both mainstream and alternative youthful cultural activities in bars, pubs, night-clubs and music venues, which occur against a backdrop of increasing corporate influence in the night-time economy.
