A partir de la publicación en Roma, en 1590, de los libros De Christo revelato y De temporibus novissimis del jesuita español José de Acosta, analizamos los horizontes romanos de dichos textos y sus ...vínculos con América a través de los viajes del jesuita desde la península ibérica y de la mediación política efectuada en las cortes romanas. El objetivo del artículo es analizar estos importantes libros no solo por sus contenidos milenaristas o bíblicos, sino también vincularlos con sus condiciones políticas, el contexto de producción y las escriturasy las prácticas del jesuita Acosta en Roma.
Wheeler reflects on the unique lessons to be learned from Christo and Jeanne-Claude, who are famous for more than twenty large-scale ephemeral installations including Running Fence, a fabric ...structure 20 feet high and 24.5 miles long stretching through the hills of Northern California down to the ocean. They conducted many negotiations to bring their work to fruition--first for the resources to support their art; second for the creation of value (and even an audience) for their art; and lastly, and most difficult, for the installation of their art on public and private lands.
Inventor, fabricator, architect and educator Emily Baker laments the rarity of open‐ended architectural education that Cranbrook so exemplifies. She explains the bottom‐up approach to design, ...material fabrication and use of emerging digital tools she developed while attending Cranbrook in the 2010s. She works at full scale and encourages her students to do the same.
En Christo and Jeanne-Claude se aprecia un salto conceptual de las primeras obras a los últimos proyectos. Vamos a comprobar cómo buscan trascender los límites disciplinares en un proceso de ...evolución que apenas dura veinte años. Nos centraremos en finales de los cincuenta y la década de los sesenta. En una primera etapa, que corresponde a su periodo de residencia en París, entienden el arte de una manera objetual. Un arte de vanguardia que tiene de referencia a figuras como Picasso y Duchamp. En un segundo momento, su idea transita del objeto al espacio artístico. Un cambio de mentalidad que coincide con un cambio de residencia. De París se trasladan a Nueva York, dónde descubrirán las posibilidades del espacio y trabajarán bajo la influencia de artistas como Pollock o los del Pop-Art. A partir de entonces, sus trabajos excederán los límites disciplinares, pudiendo recibir múltiples definiciones como la de instalación. Un entendimiento del arte de plena actualidad.
In 1990, Joachim Fest’s plea for the reconstruction of the Berlin City Palace unchained one of the most heated architectural debates in German history, a debate that has been raging on to this day. ...This so-called
not only testifies to the remarkable revival of the Prussian legacy after German Reunification, it is also symptomatic of the difficult search for identity by the new Berlin Republic. With its prevalent rhetoric of the ‘lost’ or ‘empty center,’ the debate is particularly suitable for an analysis of the imaginary mechanisms and strategies of fictionalization that are necessary for a political community to constitute itself. By means of a rhetorical analysis of the reconstruction debate, I argue that Prussia functions as a mythological relict in our alleged society without myths. In this regard, special attention is devoted to the
of 1993 by the French artist Catherine Feff. Functioning as a phantasmatic projection screen, this fake city castle is used here as a starting point for a reflection on the constitutive relation between community and fiction. The article concludes with a coda on the
by Christo and Jeanne-Claude.
Two public and site-specific art projects by America artist Christo (Christo Vladimirov Javacheff) and Chinese artist Ai Weiwei are compared. Christo’s The Floating Piers opened on Italy’s Lake Iseo ...in summer of 2016 and consisted of 5 kilometers of shimmering golden orange fabric, much of it covering a floating footpath formed from interlocking plastic cubes that invited participants to bob, sway, and quite literally walk on water. @Large: Ai Weiwei on Alcatraz was a temporary exhibition (2014-2015) on Alcatraz Island, the former federal prison. The project featured seven different art installations in four sites, including spaces normally off limits to Alcatraz tourists.
Dosent en studieleier, departementshoof, akademikus, navorser—so sou ’n mens prof. M. C. J. (Christo) van Rensburg se professionele loopbaan met ’n paar breë kwashale kom karakteriseer.Christo, wat ...gepromoveer het met die proefskrif Die struktuur van die sin in Afrikaans: ’n ontleding van bepaalde patrone teen die agtergrond van die huidige teorieë oor die transformasioneel-generatiewe grammatika, het aan die Universiteit van Pretoria, sy alma mater, as dosent begin.
The Roman Bridge between Dolni Vadin (Bulgaria) and Grojdibodu (Romania) presents all the available data on the Roman bridge over the Danube which connected Dacia and Moesia at this point. The ...toponyms Vadin and Grojdibodu themselves mean ‘ford’, a crossing over water, in this case over the Danube. There have been no archaeological excavations at the feet of the bridge but the author has been able to propose positioning, scale and full reconstruction on the basis of a survey of existing remains, known road alignments, old maps and drawings as well as comparison with better-known parallels. The book also includes a catalogue of small finds deriving from the area of the bridge. This bridge has been ignored for centuries primarily due to the absence of any mention of it in ancient sources, literary or otherwise. It was probably eclipsed by the fame of the bridge from Drobeta, which was constructed by Emperor Trajan between the two Dacian wars, and by the bridge from Sucidava-Oescus which was built later, in the time of Emperor Constantine the Great. Additionally, the bridge is located in a rather obscure place, hardly accessible in the modern era. This work restores this river crossing to its proper significance.
While studies in World Christianity have frequently referred to Christianity as a ‘world religion’, this article argues that such a category is problematic. Insider movements directly challenge the ...category, since they are movements of faith in Jesus that fall within another ‘world religion’ altogether – usually Islam or Hinduism. Rather than being an oddity of the mission frontier, insider movements expose ambiguities already present in World Christianity studies concerning the concept of ‘religion’ and how we understand the unity of the World Christian movement. The article first examines distortions that occur when religion is referred to on the one hand as localised practices which can be reoriented and taken up into World Christianity and, on the other hand, as ‘world religion’, where Christianity is sharply discontinuous with other world systems. Second, the article draws from the field of religious studies, where several writers have argued that the scholarly ‘world religion’ category originates from a European Enlightenment project whose modernist assumptions are now questionable. Third, the particular challenge of insider movements is expanded on – their use of non-Christian cultural-religious systems as spaces for Christ worship, and their redrawing of assumed Christian boundaries. Finally, the article sketches out two principles for understanding Christianity's unity in a way that takes into account the religious (1) as a historical series of cultural-religious transmissions and receptions of the Christian message, which emanates from margins like those being crossed by insider movements, and (2) as a religiously syncretic process of change that occurs with Christ as the prime authority.
