Comment écrire de la fiction ? Nombreux sont celles et ceux qui souhaitent se lancer dans le grand bain sans trouver les clefs qui permettent d’ouvrir les portes de l’écriture fictionnelle. Aux origines des célèbres ateliers d’écriture Clarion, Damon Knight dit lui-même qu'avant de se lancer comme professeur, il ne savait pas si l’écriture pouvait s’enseigner. Ce nouveau guide démontre avec brio que les techniques de récits s'analysent, se démontent et se remontent, comme saurait le démontrer n’importe quel artisan avec son art. Développer son talent, aller de l’idée à l’histoire, la commencer, la contrôler et enfin la terminer, voici ce qu'offre Damon Knight dans son essai. Accessible à toutes et tous, Devenir artisan de ses histoires dévoile un parcours ludique et éducatif qui vous confrontera à vos motivations, vos envies, vos habitudes, en vous proposant avec précision des outils et des méthodes clairs. Damon Knight est considéré comme un grand maître américain de la nouvelle. On lui doit notamment Comment servir l’homme, histoire à l’origine d’un des plus célèbres épisodes de la série La Quatrième Dimension. Il fut aussi un des piliers fondateurs des ateliers d’écriture Milford et Clarion qui ont contribué à une démocratisation populaire de l’approche de l’écriture aux États-Unis.

From the late fifteenth century to the present day, countless explorers, conquerors, and other agents of empire have laid siege to the New World, plundering and pilfering its most precious artefacts and treasures. Today, these natural and cultural products—which are key to conceptualizing a history of Latin America—are scattered in museums around the world.With contributions from a renowned set of scholars, New World Objects of Knowledge delves into the hidden histories of forty of the New World’s most iconic artifacts, from the Inca mummy to Darwin’s hummingbirds. This volume is richly illustrated with photos and sketches from the archives and museums hosting these objects. Each artifact is accompanied by a comprehensive essay covering its dynamic, often global, history and itinerary. This volume will be an indispensable catalog of New World objects and how they have helped shape our modern world.Introduction by Mark Thurner and Juan PimentelPart 1: ARTIFICIALIA1 Codex Mendoza by Daniela Bleichmar2 Macuilxochitl by Juan Pimentel3 Potosi by Kris Lane4 Piece of Eight by Alejandra Irigoin and Bridget Millmore5 Pieza de Indias by Pablo Gomez6 Rubber by Heloisa Maria Bertol Domingues and Emilie Ana Carreón Blaine7 Silver Basin by Mariana Francozo8 Feathered Shield by Linda Baez9 Black by Adrian Masters10 Cards by Jorge Canizares Esguerra11 Mary’s Armadillo by Peter Mason12 Mexican Portrait by Andrés Gutiérrez Usillos13 Clay Vessel by Jorge Canizares-Esguerra14 Singing Violin by Jorge Canizares Esguerra15 Creole Cabinet by Juan Pimentel and Mark Thurner16 Modern Quipu by Sabine and William Hyland17 Memory Palaces by Jorge Canizares-Esguerra18 Inca Mummy by Christopher Heaney19 Xilonen by Miruna Achim20 Machu Picchu by Amy Cox-HallPART 2: NATURALIA21 Amazon by Roberto Chauca22 Bird of Paradise by Jose Ramon Marcaida23 Emeralds by Kris Lane24 Pearls by Jorge Canizares Esguerra25 Cochineal by Miruna Achim26 Opossum by Jose Ramon Marcaida27 Guinea Pig by Helen Cowie28 Bezoar by Jose Pardo-Tomas29 Cacao by Peter Mason30 Strawberry by Elisa and Ana Sevilla31 Volcano by Sophie Brockmann32 Andes by Mark Thurner and Jorge Canizares-Esguerra33 Anteater by Helen Cowie34 Megatherium by Juan Pimentel35 Tapir by Irina Podgorny36 Cinchona by Matthew Crawford37 Potato by Rebecca Earle38 Guano by Gregory Cushman39 Tortoise by Elizabeth Hennessey40 Darwin’s Hummingbird by Iris Montero

Assembles texts, performances, and personae from American culture to assert the elemental natureof styleWhile “style” is equated with fashion or convention in common parlance, Style: A Queer Cosmology defines the term as a mode of expression that makes us more like ourselves and less like everyone else. Taylor Black’s interdisciplinary conceptual analysis assembles texts, performances, and personae from American culture that engage in ethical, creative, and performative modes of what he terms “abundant revelation.” Moving back and forth through time, this book sketches American cosmologies cultivated by iconic and subterranean American artists like Edgar Allan Poe, Flannery O’Connor, Nikki Giovanni, and Bob Dylan. Presiding throughout is the book’s conceptual guide: latter-day American and notorious homosexual Quentin Crisp, resurrected here as a philosopher of style.As a scholarly intervention, Style participates in the critical work of revival and attunement—revitalizing figures, terms, and ideas that have become too familiar. Returning to viewing the critic as a stylist, Style: A Queer Cosmology leans into the study of things and qualities that are immanent and elude paraphrase or social scientific categorization. Style is about the possible rather than the probable, singularity over universals, personality instead of identity, the emergent and not the new—the mystery of becoming.

New insights from the archaeology and pottery of the sanctuary of Hermes and Aphrodite at Syme Viannou, Crete The Sanctuary of Hermes and Aphrodite at Syme Viannou VII: The Greek and Roman Pottery presents in two volumes the Greek and Roman pottery recovered from the excavation of the sanctuary of Syme Viannou, one of the most long-lived and important cult sites of ancient Crete and the Aegean. The site, which is known as the Cretan Delphi, was dedicated to Hermes and Aphrodite for much of its history. The present study analyzes and catalogs 865 pieces, dating from across the early first millennium BCE to the mid-first millennium CE. Kotsonas integrates traditional typological and chronological inquiries with contextual considerations, macroscopic and petrographic analyses of ceramic fabrics, and quantitative studies. The resulting work provides detailed documentation of the pottery from Syme Viannou and explores its ritual and other roles within the diachronic panorama of cultic and other activities at the site. It also supports a broader understanding of the role of ceramics in sanctuary contexts by introducing systematically comparative perspectives on the evidence of pottery from other Cretan and Greek sanctuaries.Volume 1 provides an introduction to the site of the sanctuary of Syme Viannou and its history, and contains an analytical catalog of the ceramic remains.

Considers the character of the “Stage Indian” in American theater and its racial and political impact Redface unearths the history of the theatrical phenomenon of redface in nineteenth- and twentieth-century America. Like blackface, redface was used to racialize Indigenous peoples and nations, and even more crucially, exclude them from full citizenship in the United States. Arguing that redface is more than just the costumes or makeup an actor wears, Bethany Hughes contends that it is a collaborative, curatorial process through which artists and audiences make certain bodies legible as “Indian.” By chronicling how performances and definitions of redface rely upon legibility and delineations of race that are culturally constructed and routinely shifting, this book offers an understanding of how redface works to naturalize a very particular version of history and, in doing so, mask its own performativity.Tracing the “Stage Indian” from its early nineteenth-century roots to its proliferation across theatrical entertainment forms and turn of the twenty-first century attempts to address its racist legacy, Redface uses case studies in law and civic life to understand its offstage impact. Hughes connects extensive scholarship on the “Indian” in American culture to the theatrical history of racial impersonation and critiques of settler colonialism, demonstrating redface’s high stakes for Indigenous and non-Indigenous alike. Revealing the persistence of redface and the challenges of fixing it, Redface closes by offering readers an embodied rehearsal of what it would mean to read not for the “Indian” but for Indigenous theater and performance as it has always existed in the US.

Praise for Curationism: “Balzer writes with zest, scepticism and sly humour” Sheila Heti, author of Pure ColourWhat does it mean to call something “new”? Why is Western art and culture, even after postmodernism, still so obsessed with the concept? What are the consequences of relying on culture to bring about social change?In this provocative book, David Balzer argues that Western culture was never designed to produce truly new or original artefacts. Rather, we move from fixation to fixation, trend to trend—a cycle of creation and destruction with deep origins in Judeo-Christianity and the paganism that preceded it. The culture industry promises its own form of change while preserving existing systems of power exactly as they are.From the New Jerusalem to the New Left, from Vannevar Bush to Kate Bush, This is Not New asks difficult questions about the role of culture not in making change, but in delaying—even preventing—it. David Balzer is a writer, lawyer, editor, and educator. He is the author of Contrivances and Curationism: How Curating Took Over the Art World and Everything Else. His critical writing has appeared in the Globe and Mail, the Guardian, Artforum, and Frieze. He lives in Canada.PrefacePrologue: Some Radicals1. Culture Industry, Culture Wars2.

Dans sa biographie de Piero di Cosimo, Giorgio Vasari nous apprend que le peintre florentin, fils d’un orfèvre nommé Lorenzo, était élève de Cosimo Rosselli « dont il porta toujours le nom, parce qu’il regardait plutôt comme son véritable père celui qui avait procuré l’indépendance et le talent, par ses leçons, que celui dont il n’avait reçu que la vie ». Aux liens du sang, Piero préfère donc une filiation artistique et l’égide d’un maître. Par cette substitution, il se présente en héritier d’un illustre prédécesseur et valorise son propre travail.À l’instar de Piero di Cosimo, nombre d’artistes se choisissent des figures tutélaires – ou désignent des disciples – dans un objectif d’autopromotion ou de légitimation. Les historiennes et historiens de l’art comme les critiques établissent également des parentés artistiques pour saisir ou construire les rapports de proximité entre personnalités créatrices ou entre mouvances plus larges. Omniprésente en histoire de l’art, la notion de filiation n’a pourtant jamais fait l’objet d’un examen terminologique. À travers l’Europe, du Moyen Âge au XXe siècle, au croisement d’une multitude de techniques – peinture, sculpture, architecture, gravure, dessin, enluminure, orfèvrerie –, les textes rassemblés ici étudient les figures et les pratiques de la filiation artistique. Cet ouvrage initie ainsi une réflexion sur le sens et les enjeux de ces parentés électives.
