The Peripatetic Frame: Images of Walking in Film By Thomas Deane Tucker
2019 | 168 Pages | ISBN: 1474409296 | PDF | 4 MB
From cinema's earliest days, walking and filmmaking have been intrinsically linked. Technologically, culturally and aesthetically, the pioneers of cinema were not only interested in using the camera to scientifically study ambulatory motion, but were also keen to capture the speed and mobile culture of late 19th-century urban life. Photographers such as Felix Nadar took their cameras into the Parisian streets and boulevards as mechanised flâneurs, ushering us into the age of the 'mobilised virtual gaze'. But if photography could only embalm modernity in an instant of time, the cinema brought these instants to life again. From Muybridge and Marey's photographic studies of motion to Charlie Chaplin's character 'The Tramp', and from the Steadicam to the police procedural, Thomas Deane Tucker explores the intertwined relationship between cinema and walking from its very first steps - breaking new ground in motion studies and providing a bold new perspective on film history.

Missouri in World War I (Images of America) by Jeremy Paul Amick
English | August 3, 2020 | ISBN: 1467105139 | 128 pages | EPUB | 63 Mb
The state of Missouri played a unique role in World War I-as the birthplace of Gen. John J. Pershing, the commanding officer of the American Expeditionary Forces, and Maj. Gen. Enoch Crowder, the primary author of the military draft-and it is an impressive legacy featuring a colorful cast of characters, events, and communities. Missouri was home to two flying aces of the war as well as Bennett Champ Clark, the youngest colonel in the American Expeditionary Forces and the first national commander of the American Legion. During the war, the state was home to farms and ranches that provided an army of mules that assisted Allied forces in hauling critical materials and equipment in the harshest of conditions. Additionally, 156,000 of the state's citizens served in the military with approximately 10,000 wounded or killed in action.

John A. Britton, "Revolution and Ideology: Images of the Mexican Revolution in the United States"
English | ISBN: 0813151430 | 2014 | 288 pages | EPUB | 3 MB
Mexico and the United States share a border of more than 2,000 miles, and their histories and interests have often intertwined. The Mexican Revolution, which began in 1910 and continued in one form or another for the next thirty years, was keenly observed by U.S. citizens, especially those directly involved in Mexico through property ownership, investment, missionary work, tourism, journalism, and education. It differed from many other revolutions in this century in that Marxist-Leninist theory was only one of many radical and reformist influences.

Images of Enlightenment: Tibetan Art in Practice By Jonathan Landaw, Andy Weber
2006 | 264 Pages | ISBN: 1559392584 | PDF | 102 MB
Jonathan Landaw spent six years living in northern India studying Tibetan Buddhism and is the editor and author of a number of Buddhist books including Buddhism for Dummies. Andy Weber spent seven years in India and Nepal studying the iconographic art of Tibetan Buddhism and his work has appeared throughout the world in numerous exhibitions and Buddhist Publications.One of the most striking aspects of Tibetan Buddhism is its wealth of visual imagery. Ranging from the tranquility of a serenely poised meditator to the dynamic energy of apparently wrathful figures, this vivid and diverse imagery often leaves Western observers as puzzled as they are fascinated. Who are these figures and what do they mean? Images of Enlightenment answers the need for a clear and straightforward guide to the inner world of Tibetan Buddhist sacred art. Focusing on some of its most important and representative images, this richly illustrated book introduces the reader to the tradition of spiritual self-transformation embodied by these depictions of enlightened energy through clear iconographic representations and descriptions.

Bilder als Quellen /Images as Sources: Studies on ancient Near Eastern artefacts and the Bible inspired by the work of Othmar Keel By Susanne Bickel
2007 | 661 Pages | ISBN: 3525530323 | PDF | 18 MB
Zu den augenfälligsten Verdiensten des wissenschaftlichen Werks von Othmar Keel gehört es, Bilder als eigenständiges Quellenmaterial für die Erforschung der altorientalischen Kultur- und Religionsgeschichte dokumentiert und interpretiert, biblische Texte systematisch mit altorientalischen Bildern in Verbindung gebracht und damit die Bibelwissenschaft um einen eigenen Interpretationszugang und Forschungszweig bereichert zu haben. Mit den in diesem Band versammelten Studien danken SchülerInnen und FreundInnen einem ungewöhnlich vielseitigen und engagierten Wissenschaftler für viele Einsichten und Anstöße, die er ihnen in jahrelanger Forschungspartnerschaft vermittelt hat.Teil I bietet Erstveröffentlichungen von bislang unpublizierten altorientalischen Artefakten. In Teil II werden bereits bekannte Bildquellen neu analysiert und interpretiert. Teil III bringt biblische Texte ins Gespräch mit der Ikonographie und situiert sie im Kontext der altorientalischen Religionsgeschichte. Teil IV eröffnet weite theologische Horizonte in der Perspektive einer "vertikalen Ökumene". Der Band enthält ein vollständiges Verzeichnis der seit 1955 erschienenen Schriften von Othmar Keel.To consider images as sources in their own right for the history of ancient Near Eastern culture and religion; to correlate them, whenever appropriate, with biblical texts; thus, to have introduced a new way of looking and reading to biblical studies - these may be the most salient characteristics of Othmar Keel's internationally recognised scholarship. The papers published in this volume express the gratitude of many students and friends to a teacher and colleague with whom they have shared many years of inspiring research partnership.Part I includes original publications of hitherto unpublished artefacts. In Part II, better or lesser known objects and images are studied anew in their cultural and socio-historical contexts. Part III brings biblical texts into a conversation with iconography and places them into the context of ancient Near Eastern religion and culture. Part IV opens wide religio-historical and theological horizons in the perspective of "vertical ecumenism". The volume comes with a comprehensive bibliography of Othmar Keel's published works from 1955 to the present.
