Walter Benjamin and the Architecture of Modernity
234 pages | re.press (July 25, 2009) | 0980544025 | PDF | 1 Mb
Walter Benjamin is universally recognised as one of the key thinkers of modernity: his writings on politics, language, literature, media, theology and law have had an incalculable influence on contemporary thought. Yet the problem of architecture in and for Benjamin's work remains relatively underexamined. Does Benjamin's project have an architecture and, if so, how does this architecture affect the explicit propositions that he offers us? In what ways are Benjamin's writings centrally caught up with architectural concerns, from the redevelopment of major urban centres to the movements that individuals can make within the new spaces of modern cities? How can Benjamin's theses help us to understand the secret architectures of the present? This volume takes up the architectural challenge in a number of innovative ways, collecting essays by both well-known and emerging scholars on time in cinema, the problem of kitsch, the design of graves and tombs, the orders of road-signs, childhood experience in modern cities, and much more. Engaged, interdisciplinary, bristling with insights, the essays in this collection will constitute an indispensable supplement to the work of Walter Benjamin, as well as providing a guide to some of the obscurities of our own present.

Dan Brown: El Símbolo Perdido (Español)

2009-11-05T13:30:00.000-08:00

Washington. El experto en simbología Robert Langdon es convocado inesperadamente por Peter Solomon, masón, filántropo y su antiguo mentor, para dar una conferencia en el Capitolio. Pero el secuestro de Peter y el hallazgo de una mano tatuada con cinco enigmáticos símbolos cambian drásticamente el curso de los acontecimientos. Atrapado entre las exigencias de una mente perturbada y la investigación oficial, Langdon se ve inmerso en un mundo clandestino de secretos masónicos, historia oculta y escenarios nunca antes vistos, que parecen arrastrarlo hacia una sencilla pero inconcebible verdad.
Con la ayuda de Katherine Solomon, hermana de Peter y experta en ciencias noéticas, Robert Langdon tiene doce horas para salvar a su amigo y, al mismo tiempo, evitar que uno de los secretos mejor guardados de nuestra historia caiga en las manos equivocadas...
El código Da Vinci fue un fenómeno mundial que convirtió a Dan Brown en el maestro absoluto del thriller. En esta nueva obra, Robert Langdon regresa para retar a los lectores con una historia inteligente y de ritmo vertiginoso que ofrece sorpresas en cada página. El símbolo perdido es lo que los fans de Dan Brown estaban esperando: su novela más emocionante.

Les Contes du Septième Monde
Radgel | autoprod. | French | CBZ | 17 MB
Genre: Dark Fantasy
RADGEL est un jeune illustrateur qui vient d’achever la réalisation du premier tome de sa toute première BD : Les Contes du Septième Monde. Après avoir passé plus de 15 années à dessiner pour son propre plaisir et à explorer diverses voies aux cours d’un cursus universitaire et professionnel plutôt chaotique, il lui prend l’envie de raconter des histoires… Et quel meilleur médium que la BD pour allier ses deux principales passions : la littérature et le dessin? RADGEL met sur pied aux alentours de 2000 son propre univers de Dark Fantasy fédérant ses principales inspirations et réunissant tout ce qu’il a toujours adoré en matière de littérature, de comics et d’illustration. Cet univers servira par la suite de base à sa première Bande-Dessinée, dont il décide de mettre en chantier le premier tome, Kymaera l’Apatride, aux alentours de 2003. Après diverses démarches infructueuses auprès des éditeurs francophones qui trouvent son style un peu trop « noir » pour coller aux différentes lignes éditoriales en place, RADGEL tente l’autopublication sur Internet en 2005 en rendant sa BD disponible en ligne et sur support numérique par l’intermédiaire de son site web

Badlands (1973) - [DVD5] [1999]

2009-10-30T04:42:00.001-07:00

A Film By Terrence Malick

"He wanted to die with me and I dreamed of being lost forever in his arms." A young couple goes on a Midwest crime spree in Terrence Malick's hypnotically assured debut feature, based on the 1950s Starkweather-Fugate murders. Fancying himself a rebel like James Dean, twentysomething Kit (Martin Sheen) takes off with teen baton-twirler Holly (Sissy Spacek) after shooting her father (Warren Oates) when he tries to split the pair up. Once bounty hunters discover their riverside hiding place, Kit and Holly head toward Saskatchewan, leaving dead bodies in their wake. As the law closes in, however, Holly gives herself up -- but Kit doesn't hold it against her, as he basks in his new status as a momentary folk hero. Inaugurating the use of voice-over narration that he would continue in Days of Heaven (1978) and The Thin Red Line (1998), Malick juxtaposes Holly's flat readings of her flowery romance-novel diary prose with the banal and surreal details of their journey. Singularly inarticulate with each other, Kit and Holly are more intrigued by mythic celebrity gestures, as Holly peruses her fan magazines and Kit commemorates key moments before orchestrating a properly dramatic capture for himself (complete with the right hat). The sublime visuals lend a dreamlike beauty to the couple's trip even as their actions are treated casually; Malick neither glamorizes Kit and Holly nor consigns them to the bloody end of their fame-fixated predecessors in Bonnie and Clyde (1967). With the couple's opaque dialogue and Holly's fanzine dream narration, Malick further denies an easy explanation for their crimes. Made for under 500,000 dollars, Badlands debuted at the 1973 New York Film Festival, along with Martin Scorsese's Mean Streets, and was released within months of two other outlaw-couple road movies, Steven Spielberg's The Sugarland Express and Robert Altman's Thieves Like Us. Although Badlands did not make an impression at the box office, its pictorial splendor and cool yet disquieting narrative established Malick as one of the most compelling artists to come out of early-'70s Hollywood. - Lucia Bozzola, All Movie Guide

Verdi - Otello - Karajan, Jon Vickers, Mirella Freni

2009-10-30T04:40:00.000-07:00

Verdi - Otello - Karajan, Jon Vickers, Mirella Freni

Jon Vickers, Mirella Freni, Peter Glossop, Stefania Malagu, Aldo Bottion
Verdi's Otello is a larger-than-life role, calling for a tenor of Wagnerian vocal power and stage presence. In the late 20th century, two singers fully met its specifications--Jon Vickers and Placido Domingo. Both were filmed in video productions of unusual quality, and a choice between them boils down, ultimately, to a question of personal taste. In this 1973 production, Vickers is given an effective context to set off his powerful, carefully considered characterization. Mirella Freni is an appealing Desdemona, Peter Glossop is a credibly vicious Iago, and the cast is solid right down to the very young future star Jose van Dam in a small supporting role. The chorus and orchestra rank with the world's best.

Herbert von Karajan's direction, musical and theatrical, is a source of both strength and shortcomings. His power and prestige allowed him to assemble stellar casts and to scoff at budget limitations. He was also able to take the production beyond the opera house's visual limitations with on-location filming, an opportunity that is exploited with powerful impact in the storm-at-sea scene that opens this Otello. His personal musical taste sometimes tended to favor polish at the expense of expressive intensity. But he does present Verdi's score intact, without the cuts made in the 1986 cinematic production directed by Franco Zeffirelli and starring Domingo. Personally, I find the Zeffirelli Otello dramatically compelling, but Von Karajan's--or Georg Solti's 1992 version with Domingo and Kiri Te Kanawa--is closer to what Verdi had in mind. --Joe McLellan, Amazon

Roman Military Equipment: From the Punic Wars to the Fall of Rome By M. C. Bishop, J. C. N. Coulston

This book brings together evidence from all over the Roman Empire to examine the development of Roman military equipment. Rome's rise to Empire is often stated to have owed much to the efficiency and military skill of her armies and their technological superiority over barbarian enemies. However, just how "advanced" was Roman military equipment that would have been available, what would it have looked like and how would it have functioned? - these are a few of the questions discussed in this book.

Cybersix Tomes 1 a 12

Cybersix Tomes 1 a 12
Scénariste: Carlos Trillo | Dessinateur: Carlos Meglia | Editeur: Vents d'Ouest | PDF | 682 MB
Genre : fantastique
Cybersix est une bande dessinée argentine scénarisée par Carlos Trillo et dessinée par Carlos Meglia qui raconte les aventures de Cybersix, alias Adrian Seidelman.
Cybersix est une femme artificielle qui s’est enfuie enfant pour échapper à son créateur, un certain Von Richter, et s’est réfugiée dans une cité glauque, Méridiana, où elle a grandi sous l’identité d’un garçon décédé : Adrian Seidelman. Devenue adulte, travaillant comme enseignant, elle est détectée et poursuivie par les séïdes de son ancien maître, le professeur Von Richter, un chercheur nazi exilé dans la jungle sud-américaine. Elle devra leur faire face avec l’aide de personnages disparates.
Sans compter que pour survivre elle doit se nourrir à la manière d'un vampire d’une substance contenue dans certains de ses semblables qui travaillent pour Von Richter, qu'elle pourchasse de nuit. Par ailleurs, elle doit gérer les avances d'une de ses élèves tandis qu'un de ses collègues, dans l’établissement où elle enseigne le jour en tant qu’homme, est amoureux de sa version féminine.
La bande dessinée a fait l'objet d'un dessin-animé assez fidèle sur le plan graphique mais beaucoup moins au niveau du scénario.
Cybersix est entièrement publié en N&B montre la parfaite maîtrise de l'auteur sur les contrastes, la narration et l'expressivité. Le dessin en noir et blanc de Meglia est très élégant, plein de détails, il rend Cybersix très sexy et restitue à merveille Méridiana, ses personnages lubriques, ses enfants glauques.
Quant à Trillo, le scénariste est bien connu pour mettre en scène des personnages à la moralité douteuse dont une galerie défile dans l’existence de son héroïne et il se fait plaisir sans pour autant négliger les questionnements de Cybersix sur sa nature : femme, homme, monstre ?

Kengo Kuma: Selected Works

2009-10-27T06:12:00.000-07:00

Kengo Kuma: Selected Works

Evanescent. Restrained. Ethereal. These are some of the words used to describe the architecture of Kengo Kuma, one of the most heralded of a new generation of Japanese architects. A recent article in Architecture writes of Kuma that "he strives to give his buildings the qualities of a rainbow, composed of shimmering particles, more illusion than object, that change as you look at them." Increasingly the focus of international renown, Kuma's work is characterized by a delicate simplicity and minimalism, incorporating a wide range of ephemeral transparencies.Their ineffable vibrancy is achieved largely by the extensive and skillful use of screens: metal, wooden, bamboo, and even stone louvers or slates, as well as paper, plastic, and glass surfaces or membranes. His use of new, sophisticated, and efficient technologies, his sensitivity to site, and his attention to the ecological and prevailing social context of his work are all explored in Kengo Kuma: Selected Works, the first full-length monograph on the work of this enormous talent. Included are all of Kuma's most recent projects, including the Museum of Ando Hiroshige, the Stone Museum, the Horai Onsen Bath House in Atami, Louis Vuitton Tokyo Headquarters, and the Nagasaki Prefectural Museum. Kengo Kuma: Selected Works is an essential addition to the library of anyone interested in the best contemporary architecture.
