Описание: The Lebanese photographer Marie al-Khazen seized every opportunity to use her camera during the years that she was active between 1920 and 1940. She not only documented her travels around tourist sites in Lebanon but also sought creative experimentation with her camera by staging scenes, manipulating shadows, and superimposing negatives to produce different effects in her prints. Within her photographs, bedouins and European friends, peasants and landlords, men and women comfortably share the same space. Her photographs include an intriguing collection portraying her family and friends living their everyday lives in 1920s and ‘30s Zgharta, a village in the north of Lebanon.
Yasmine Nachabe Taan explores these photographs, emphasizing the ways in which notions of gender and class are inscribed within them and revealing how they are charged with symbols of women’s emancipation to today's viewers, through women’s presence as individuals, separate from family restrictions of that time. Images in which women are depicted smoking cigarettes, driving cars, riding horses, and accompanying men on hunting trips counteract the common ways in which women were portrayed in contemporary Lebanon.
Автор: K Enagonio Название: How To Explore Abandoned Buildings ISBN: 1667848720 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781667848723 Издательство: Gazelle Book Services Рейтинг: Цена: 74350.00 T Наличие на складе: Поставка под заказ. Описание: "How to Explore Abandoned Buildings" is a guidebook and photography book that is dedicated to novice urban explorers as well as expert explorers. The photographs in the book were taken by K. Enagonio, also known as No Tracers, and the illustrations were done by Francisco Silva, otherwise known as Mr Sketch. After recording an episode of the popular urban exploration podcast, No Tracers, host K Enagonio set out to create a unique guidebook for explorers, that would be fun, helpful, and memorable. This book was created in the spring of 2022 and completed and released on Friday, May 13th, 2022, which happens to also be the only Friday the 13th of 2022. It seemed fitting to release a spooky guidebook on urban exploration on that day.

Описание: Strewn across the United States in the era of debilitating depression, the New Deal, undertook a variety of approaches to and solutions of problems not often seen before. In Tennessee, the Roosevelt administration drew engineers and a variety of do-gooders associated with solutions promised by die-hard Jeffersonians, back-to-the-land advocates of all sorts, Quakers experienced through the American Friends Service Committee programs, to address two problems depressing the state's Cumberland Plateau: the need to develop furhter the nearby Tennessee River valley and the necessity of rescuing homeless, jobless, destitute farmers and miners of that area.
The Pennsylvania architect, William Macy Stanton, was himself a victim of the depression, without means to earn a living and support a family when demand for new buildings—hotels, and commercial buildings in particular—collapsed for this well-educated, skillful and experienced architect. His widespread circle of friends, particularly Quaker friends, brought him to Tennessee to help plan TVA housing. In 1933-34 Stanton was chosen both to design and supervise the construction of 250 family houses and associated buildings settled on a tract of several thousand acres the New Deal would develop at its largest subsistence Homesteads project, near Crossville, Tennessee—Cumberland Homesteads.
Houses, Hotels, and Homesteads guides the reader through Stanton's early years as student, teacher, and independent architect, then directly to an account of Stanton's Tennessee years and steps to develop Cumberland Homesteads, to design the buildings, to train inexperienced homesteaders who would live in them, to build with resources on the tract, milling the trees, collecting the stone for their houses, and even to be masons assembling the local "Crab Orchard" stone into the buildings that still stand on the site today.

Автор: Hogan, Eleanor Название: Into the loneliness ISBN: 1742236596 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781742236599 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 20900.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Both famous in their day, Daisy Bates and Ernestine Hill were bestselling writers who told of life in the vast Australian interior. Daisy Bates, dressed in Victorian garb, malnourished and half-blind, camped with Aboriginal people in Western Australia and on the Nullarbor for decades, surrounded by her books, notes and artefacts. A self-taught ethnologist, desperate to be accepted by established male anthropologists, she sought to document the language and customs of the people who visited her camps. In 1935, Ernestine Hill, journalist and author of the bestselling book, The Great Australian Loneliness, coaxed Daisy Bates to Adelaide to collaborate on a newspaper series for The Advertiser. Their collaboration resulted in the 1938 international bestseller, The Passing of the Aborigines. This book informed popular opinion about Aboriginal people for decades, though Bates’s failure to acknowledge Hill as her co-author strained their friendship. Traversing great distances in a campervan, Eleanor Hogan reflects on the lives and work of these indefatigable women. From a contemporary perspective, their work seems quaint and sentimental, their outlook and preoccupations dated, paternalistic and even racist. Yet Hogan is reminded that Bates and Hill took a genuine interest in Aboriginal people and their cultures long before they were considered worthy of the Australian mainstream’s attention. With sensitivity and insight, she wonders whether their work speaks to us today and what their legacies as fearless female outliers might be.
Название: Imaging Eden: Photographers Discover the Everglades ISBN: 194208403X ISBN-13(EAN): 9781942084037 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 49810.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Though they were ceded to the federal government in 1821, it was not until the beginning of the twentieth century that the Everglades were systematically depicted in photographs. Imaging Eden presents an overview of the pictures that have formed our understanding of the Everglades, one of the most contested and unique environments on the planet, and new approaches to photographing the vast wetlands system. Using vernacular images as well as works by such celebrated photographers as Walker Evans, Marian Post Wolcott, Eliot Porter, James Balog and Clyde Butcher, Imaging Eden provides a framework to contextualize four contemporary commissioned projects. Amsterdam-based artist Bert Teunissen, American photographer and artist Gerald Slota, Korean-American Jung Jin Lee and Magnum photographer Jim Goldberg working in collaboration with Jordan Stein have been tasked with discovering the Everglades on their own terms, through their widely differing sensibilities and with their unique visual vocabularies.
Today the Borscht Belt is recalled through the nostalgic lens of summer swims, Saturday night dances, and comedy performances. But its current state, like that of many other formerly glorious regions, is nothing like its earlier status. Forgotten about and exhausted, much of its structural environment has been left to decay. The Borscht Belt, which features essays by Stefan Kanfer and Jenna Weissman Joselit, presents Marisa Scheinfeld's photographs of abandoned sites where resorts, hotels, and bungalow colonies once boomed in the Catskill Mountain region of upstate New York.The book assembles images Scheinfeld has shot inside and outside locations that once buzzed with life as year-round havens for generations of people. Some of the structures have been lying abandoned for periods ranging from four to twenty years, depending on the specific hotel or bungalow colony and the conditions under which it closed. Other sites have since been demolished or repurposed, making this book an even more significant documentation of a pivotal era in American Jewish history.The Borscht Belt presents a contemporary view of more than forty hotel and bungalow sites. From entire expanses of abandoned properties to small lots containing drained swimming pools, the remains of the Borscht Belt era now lie forgotten, overgrown, and vacant. In the absence of human activity, nature has reclaimed the sites, having encroached upon or completely overtaken them. Many of the interiors have been vandalized or marked by paintball players and graffiti artists. Each ruin lies radically altered by the elements and effects of time. Scheinfeld’s images record all of these developments.

An in-depth account of the life and career of Minnesota’s first modern architect
Elizabeth “Lisl” Scheu Close (1912–2011) left an indelible mark on Minnesota’s built landscape during her six decades as an architect. In 1938, with her husband, Winston Close, she founded the state’s first architecture firm dedicated to modernism. In addition to designing the first International Style house in Minneapolis, the firm also created more than 250 handsome and efficiently planned modern residences. One of few women who were practicing architects in the mid-twentieth century, she blazed a trail for future generations of women in the profession.
As Jane King Hession shows, the trajectory of Lisl’s architectural career was shaped by the political, economic, and aesthetic upheavals of the twentieth century. Raised in a renowned modern house in Vienna, Austria, Lisl was exposed to revolutionary ideas in art and architecture at a young age. Forced to emigrate to the United States as the Nazis rose to power in Europe, she completed her architectural education at MIT. During the Depression, she struggled to find work and encountered challenges as a young woman in the field. In her pursuit of and devotion to a singular and successful career as a modern architect, she proved herself to be talented, determined, and adept at negotiating obstacles.
Through documentation of Lisl’s projects, this personal and professional biography also explores multiple aspects of modern architecture, including the innovative use of new materials and technologies, the design of prefabricated houses, and the relationship between residential design and changing American lifestyles.
