Abstract

Wes Lang is an artist whose work bridges the worlds of cutting-edge street culture and nostalgic Americana, invoking references as varied as Jean-Michel Basquiat and the Hell's Angels, Francis Bacon and the Grateful Dead. Oversized and with pull-out gatefold pages, the book is testament to the scope and richness of Lang's work, expansive in its iconography and deceptively intimate in its detail. From drawings made on hotel stationery during his residency at Chateau Marmont a decade ago, to richly layered oil paintings exhibited in Paris this year, Lang's work juxtaposes a textured, painterly style with a playful acceptance of the diversity of his own influences. Edited by the artist himself and with an exploratory essay by the critic Arty Nelson, the book draws on more than 25 years of work, from stark paintings on wood that formed the artist's first exhibition to new sculptures in bronze, unseen series of ink drawings, and images made iconic by his enigmatic commercial collaborations.

Abstract

"In this short-form manuscript, Jensen provides readers with a core discussion of Wes Jackson's major ideas and contributions to environmental sustainability. Raised on a farm and trained as a botanist and geneticist, Jackson left a tenured job as a full professor in the mid-1970s to launch The Land Institute, which has grown to be an internationally recognized center for sustainable agriculture research. Written in close contact with Jackson, Jensen's work organizes some of Jackson's key insights from his lifelong efforts to see small and think big, and is designed as both an introduction to those ideas and a supplemental text to Jackson's own writings"

Abstract

Wes Anderson's Symbolic Storyworld presents a theoretical investigation of whatmakes the films of Wes Anderson distinctive. Chapter by chapter, it relentlessly pulls apart each of Anderson's narratives to pursue the proposition that they all share the same deep underlying symbolic values – a common symbolic storyworld. Taking the polemical strategy of outlining and employing Claude Lévi-Strauss's distinguished (and notorious) work on myth and kinship to analyze eight of Anderson's films, Warren Buckland unearths the peculiar symbolic structure of each film, plus the circuits of exchange, tangible and intangible gift giving, and unusual kinship systems that govern the lives of Anderson's characters. He also provides an analysis of Wes Anderson's visual and aural style, identifying several distinctive traits of Anderson's mise en scène

Abstract

This study examines a network of writers that coalesced around the publication of The History of Mary Prince (1831), which recounts Prince's experiences as an enslaved person in the West Indies and the events that brought her to seek assistance from the Anti-Slavery Society in London. It focuses on the three writers who produced the text - Mary Prince, Thomas Pringle, and Susanna Moodie - with glances at their pro-slavery opponent, James MacQueen, and their literary friends and relatives. The History connects the Black Atlantic, a diasporic formation created through the colonial trade in enslaved people, with the Anglophone Atlantic, created through British migration and colonial settlement. It also challenges Romantic ideals of authorship as an autonomous creative act and the literary text as an aesthetically unified entity. Collaborating with Prince on the History's publication impacted Moodie's and Pringle's attitudes towards slavery and shaped their own accounts of migration and settlement.
