Abstract

Over a handful of closely analysed case studies, spanning from 1847 to the present, this book explores not what photography has done for sculpture, as others have done, but what sculpture has done for photography in providing a model to conceptualize it as an art of mechanical reproduction.

While there is a growing body of work examining how photography has contributed to the development of a Western "sculptural imagination" by disseminating works, facilitating the investigation of the medium, or changing sculptural aesthetics, this study focuses on how sculpture has provided not only beautiful and convenient subject matter for photographs, or commercial and cultural opportunities for photographers in the market for art reproductions, but also an exemplar for thinking about photography as a medium based on mechanical means of production.

Rooted in an understanding of the practical, social and aesthetic implications of photographic as well as sculptural technologies, this volume demonstrates how photographs of sculpture are particularly useful in revealing how photography's changing materialities shape the meaning of images as they are made, circulated, looked at, written about, and handled at different historical moments.

Abstract

In a visual and artifact-filled world, cataloging one-of-a-kind cultural objects without published guidelines and standards has been a challenge. Now for the first time, under the leadership of the Visual Resources Association, a cross-section of five visual and cultural heritage experts, along with scores of reviewers from varied institutions, have created a new data content standard focused on cultural materials. This cutting-edge reference offers practical resources for cataloging and flexibility to meet the needs of a wide range of institutions—from libraries to museums to archives.

Abstract

Vooroordelen en stereotypen zijn zo oud als de mens zelf. Reeds in de Griekse oudheid werd druk gespeculeerd over de betekenis van lichaams- en gezichtsbouw. Wat verbergt het gezicht? Is er een manier om het hoofd te 'lezen'? En bestaat er zoiets als 'de geboren crimineel'? Hoe komt het dat we geloven dat de buitenkant iets meer kan vertellen over de binnenkant, over ons brein en onze aanleg? Karakterkoppen - Over haviksneuzen en hamsterwangen gaat in tentoonstelling en boek dieper in op de relatie tussen uiterlijk-innerlijk en het gebruik in de psychiatrie, de criminologie, maar breder ook de publieke opinie. Hoewel het de geschiedenis en oude opvattingen illustreert, is de actualiteit tegelijkertijd nooit ver weg: vooroordelen en stereotypen spelen een niet te onderschatten rol in de media en in het leven van alledag. Meer nog: het is soms sterker dan onszelf. Onbewust wordt dus ook uw karakterkop nog bestudeerd!
