Comparing Notes


A tap of the foot, a rush of emotion, the urge to hum a tune; without instruction or training we all respond intuitively to music. Comparing Notes explores what music is, why we are all musical, and how abstract patterns of sound that don't actually mean anything can in fact be so meaningful. Taking the reader on a clear and compelling tour of major twentieth century musical theories, Professor Adam Ockelford arrives at his own important psychologically grounded theory of how music works. From pitch and rhythm to dynamics and timbre, he shows how all the elements of music cohere through the principle of imitation to create an abstract narrative in sound that we instinctively grasp, whether listening to Bach or the Beatles. Based on three decades of innovative work with blind children and those on the autism spectrum, the book draws lessons from neurodiversity to show how we all develop musically, and to explore the experience of music from composer and performer to listener. Authoritative, engaging and full of wonderful examples from across the musical spectrum, Comparing Notes is essential reading for anyone who's ever loved a song, sonata or symphony, and wondered why.

Inside Vogue


The secret diary of Vogue Editor-in-Chief Alexandra Shulman and the real story behind the BBC TV ABSOLUTELY FASHION documentary. 'One of the great social diaries of our time ...should become a classic.' Sunday Times 'Eye-popping, brilliantly candid' Evening Standard What a year for Vogue! Alexandra Shulman reveals the emotional and logistical minefield of producing the 100th anniversary issue (that Duchess of Cambridge cover surprise), organizing the star-studded Vogue 100 Gala, working with designers from Victoria Beckham to Karl Lagerfeld and contributors from David Bailey to Alexa Chung. All under the continual scrutiny of a television documentary crew. But narrowly-contained domestic chaos hovers - spontaneous combustion in the kitchen, a temperamental boiler and having to send bin day reminders all the way from Milan fashion week. For anyone who wants to know what the life of a fashion magazine editor is really like, or for any woman who loves her job, this is a rich, honest and sharply observed account of a year lived at the centre of British fashion and culture.

Nefotografie, neslova


Kniha se zabývá propastmi v komunikaci, mezemi fotografie a jazyka i jejich propojováním, protože jazyk a technický obraz jsou často komplementární. Je pohledem na některé kulturní mantinely těchto médií a původ těchto mantinelů. Jsou to mantinely, jejichž existenci si obvykle neuvědomujeme. Jsou-li jazyk a fotografie nejčastějšími nositeli naší kulturní zkušenosti, pak kniha o jejich mezích a úskalích je knihou o mezích nás samotných, o kulturním konstruování nás samotných. Publikace není určena speciálně fotografům, kunsthistorikům, mediálním teoretikům či sémiotikům, přestože se těmito oblastmi zabývá. Obecné znalosti nejsou nutné. Je nutný pouze zájem o fungování médií a velmi otevřený čtenář.

Michelangelo - The Complete Paintings, Sculptures and Architecture


Il divino Meet the Renaissance master Before reaching the tender age of 30, Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475-1564) had already sculpted Pieta and David, two of the most famous sculptures in the entire history of art. As a sculptor, painter, draftsman, and architect, the achievements of this Italian master are unique-no artist before or after him has ever produced such a vast, multifaceted, and wide-ranging oeuvre. This fresh TASCHEN edition traces Michelangelo's ascent to the cultural elite of the Renaissance. Ten richly illustrated chapters cover the artist's paintings, sculptures, buildings, and drawings, including a close analysis of the artist's tour de force frescoes in the Sistine Chapel. Full-page reproductions and enlarged details allow readers to appreciate the finest details in the artist's repertoire, while the book's biographical essay considers Michelangelo's more personal traits and circumstances, such as his solitary nature, his thirst for money and commissions, his immense wealth, and his skill as a property investor. About the series: Bibliotheca Universalis-- Compact cultural companions celebrating the eclectic TASCHEN universe at an unbeatable, democratic price!Since we started our work as cultural archaeologists in 1980, the name TASCHEN has become synonymous with accessible, open-minded publishing. Bibliotheca Universalis brings together nearly 100 of our all-time favorite titles in a neat new format so you can curate your own affordable library of art, anthropology, and aphrodisia.Bookworm's delight -- never bore, always excite!

Gérard de Nerval a jeho dvojenec


Gérard de Nerval, dramatik, prozaik a básník, jedna z nejvýraznějších osobností francouzského romantismu, se jako správný romantik vzpírá rigidnímu zařazení: z představy sympatického, dobráckého a výstředního básníka pařížské frenetické bohémy se rozvinul v obraz nepřehlédnutelné osobnosti, již je třeba vnímat jako integrální součást umělecké Paříže. Skrze prohloubenou reflexi Nervalova psaní pro divadlo a o divadle, doplněnou o jeho teoretické uvažování nad uměleckou tvorbou obecně, se autor pokouší také o prozkoumání stěžejních principů francouzské podoby divadla evropského romantismu (inspirace jinými kulturami, vliv překladů, proměny moderního inscenování, specifika dobového divadelního provozu, programové manifesty romantismu, moderní dramaturgie ad.). Kniha se zaměřuje na méně reflektovanou divadelní a kritickou sféru Nervalova díla a pro tuzemské prostředí zároveň přináší dílčí nové a v drtivé většině první české překlady vybraných autorových textů a řadí je do kontextu dobové literárně-dramatické a divadelní produkce.

Henri Cartier-Bresson Interviews and Conversations, 1951-1998


A major new work, Tenancy is comprised of 42 photographs by Robert Adams (born 1937) made in Nehalem Bay State Park, Oregon, between 2013 and 2015, with short texts by the artist. The book's theme of tenancy expresses the idea of "temporary possession of what belongs to another"--specifically, the natural environment. Adams' recent photographs of the landscape reference the current and imminent threats of clearcutting, environmental degradation and natural disasters along the Northwestern coast of the US. The black-and-white photographs include poignant images of massive tree stumps on the beach--a product of the cutting of first and early second growth--as well as shimmering stretches of coastline protected for endangered birds previously thought to have abandoned northern Oregon.

Iggy & the Stooges


In May 1970, The Stooges were in the middle of recording their celebrated album, Fun House at Elektra Records Recording Studio in Los Angeles. That same month, they appeared at the Whisky a Go-Go on Sunset Boulevard for two incredible nights. Ed Caraeff, a new rock photographer who had burst onto the scene three years prior with his now-iconic image of Jimi Hendrix burning his guitar onstage at Monterey, happened to be in that crowd, and took a plethora of wonderful pictures. Only a few stills from that phenomenal gig were ever reproduced. Most famously, one was used on the cover of Fun House. The rest were filed away. Until now. Ed Caraeff's coverage of this monumental moment is reprinted here for the first time in book form. He not only captures the energy, madness and raw power of Iggy Pop's performance, but also the preceding minutes before the band stepped onto stage and made history. Along with images and contact sheets, original interviews shed new light on that unforgettable night.Interviewed by pop-culture historian Jennifer Otter Bickerdike, names include Jac Holzman, Head of Elektra Records during the recording of Fun House; Mikael Magliere, son of Mario Maglieri, owner of the Whisky a Go-Go when The Stooges played in 1970; Danny Fields, a DJ/publicist credited for signing MC5 and The Stooges; and Jeff Gold, music historian and noted Iggy Pop biographer.A tribute to the band that rocked the world, Iggy Pop & The Stooges: One Night at the Whisky, 1970 will revolutionise your view of music.

Distanční montáž Artavazda Pelešjana


Kniha reflektuje dílo arménského režiséra Artavadza Ašotoviče Pelešjana (*1938), tvůrce teorie tzv. distanční montáže, která představuje zásadní zlom v chápání zákonitostí střihové skladby filmu.

Lisa Fonsagrives


One of the most beautiful books on the history of fashion ever produced is now back in print. Swedish by birth, Parisian by inclination, and American following her 1950 marriage to Irving Penn, Lisa Fonssagrives was, for three decades, the most sought-after model of fashion photography. She posed for Man Ray, Erwin Blumenfeld, Louise Dahl- Wolfe, Norman Parkinson, Richard Avedon, for her first husband Fernand Fonssagrives, her fellow European immigrant Horst P. Horst, and, of course, her second husband Irving Penn. Compiled and arranged by fashion photographer David Seidner in 1997, the book draws upon a collection of photographs which once belonged to Lisa Fonssagrives. It is an opulently produced homage to the first supermodel in the history of fashion and a nostalgic look back on the Golden Age of fashion photography in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s.

Trik čierneho kabinetu


Kapitoly o čiernom divadle pojednávajú o neobyčajnom fenoméne, ktorým bola pred polstoročím technika čierneho kabinetu. Do sveta sa rozšírila z Čiech a jej vplyv sa samozrejme odrazil aj v slovenských profesionálnych divadlách. Domáci tvorcovia mu venovali množstvo zápalu, talentu a energie. V priebehu prvých rokov očarenia novou technikou, vzniklo nemálo inscenácií úspešne rezonujúcich nielen doma, ale aj v zahraničí. Režisér a scenárista Pavel Uher sa s odstupom času vracia k fenoménu čierneho divadla, aby ho pripomenul verejnosti nielen odbornej, ale všetkým, ktorí sa o ňom chcú aj dnes, kedy sa s jeho technikou na javiskách možno stretnúť iba výnimočne, niečo dozvedieť. Nielen ako o spochybňovanom relikte minulosti, ale aj ako o nedávnom zdroji inšpirácie súčasného animovaného divadla. Divadelné umenie dvadsiateho storočia menilo tvár tak rýchlo, ako sa vyvíjala technika, ktorú pre svoje vyjadrenie následne využívalo. Neúprosne a dynamicky. Ak nové svetlo postupne nahradilo starý dekoračný arzenál, spôsobilo aj ďalšie premeny. Medzi jednu z nich možno počítať „objav“ divadelnej techniky vychádzajúcej z opozície svetla a tmy. O čom bude reč? O inovovanom princípe, ktorý sa v polovici minulého storočia stal divadelným pojmom.
