Paperback. Condition: New. Paper scraps, metal filings, wool shearings. dismantled sets, spoiled rags, animal blood.How did these ostensibly worthless by-products of art and industry avoid the flames of the kitchen hearth or the sweep of the apprentice's broom to spark ingenuity, generate new forms, and propel further acts of creation? Wastework moves beyond the well-researched category of spoliation, foregrounding waste as a material expression of the practices of ordering and classification by which people adjudicated between collection and disposal, wanted and unwanted, salvation and loss. Authors follow the afterlives of spent books and soiled textiles, peek behind the curtain of machine theatre, and venture into the smith's foundry and the chemist's laboratory. Bringing together research from historians of art, architecture, science, and the environment, this volume examines acts of disposal and reuse and the consequences these carry for the study of early modern material culture. Drawing from the fields of discard studies and Eco materialism, contributors test the usefulness of contemporary formulations-secondary product cycles, material fatigue, metabolic flows, sustainability, recycling-while also proposing new categories with which to re-imagine the discarded past.

Condition: NUOVO. Milano, Officina Libraria cm.16,5x24, pp.160, illustrazioni a colori. brossura copertina figurata Dis/Appearance, 1. Carta straccia, limature di metallo, cera persa, residui di lavorazione di cardatura e tintura, rifiuti edili. In che modo questi scarti dell'arte e dell'industria, apparentemente senza valore, hanno evitato le fiamme del focolare o il colpo di scopa del garzone di bottega per accendere invece l'ingegno, generare nuove forme, e dare impulso a ulteriori atti di creazione? Guardando oltre alle categorie ben indagate di spoliazione e reimpiego, Wastework mette in primo piano lo scarto come espressione materiale di pratiche di ordinamento e classificazione di chi decide di volta in volta tra raccolta e smaltimento, desiderato e indesiderato, salvezza e perdita. Gli autori del volume seguono i destini di stracci sporchi e foglie di indaco in decomposizione, sbirciano i macchinari teatrali dietro il sipario, si avventurano nella fonderia del fabbro, nel laboratorio del chimico, e nelle gallerie dei minatori. Riunendo ricerche di storici dell'arte, dell'architettura, della scienza e dell'ambiente, questo volume esamina gli atti di smaltimento e di riuso, e le conseguenze questi comportano per lo studio della cultura materiale della prima età moderna. Attingendo al campo dei Discard Studies e dell'ecomaterialismo, questi saggi mettono alla prova l'utilità di formulazioni contemporanee - sostenibilità, riciclo, zero-waste, ciclo di vita del prodotto, flussi metabolici - e propongono nuove categorie con cui re-immaginare il passato che abbiamo scartato.

Brossura. Condition: new. A cura di Beltramini G. e Borgo F.Venezia, 2025; br., pp. 288, ill., cm 20,5x26.(Cataloghi. 1). "Corpi moderni" è un viaggio attorno al tema del corpo nella prima età moderna. Racconta del nostro corpo, di come lo conosciamo, lo proteggiamo e lo presentiamo per andare nel mondo partendo da un punto distante: il Rinascimento. Nel Cinquecento, per la prima volta, la concezione del corpo si avvicina alla nostra, diventa cioè moderna perché è insieme campo d'indagine, oggetto di desiderio, espressione di sé. Questo studio indaga quello che accade nel Rinascimento dentro e attorno al corpo, l'anatomia e le tecniche di costruzione di sé, avvicinando così la storia dell'arte alla storia della scienza e della cultura materiale. Grandi maestri come Leonardo, Giovanni Bellini, Albrecht Dürer, Giorgione, Tiziano, vengono messi a confronto andando oltre le forme e lo stile. Affiancando dipinti, sculture, miniature e disegni a libri, strumenti scientifici, abiti, oggetti d'uso e di cura del sé, Corpi moderni racconta il corpo attraverso le cose. Si parla del corpo nella vita, avvicinando i lettori a questioni che dominano le scienze, le arti e i miti di oggi come di allora: la natura e il futuro dell'umanità, la sessualità e la riproduzione, la bellezza e l'invecchiamento, i confini dell'umano, la rappresentazione e l'identità.
