Paperback. Condition: New. Conjuring Bearden, a richly illustrated exhibition catalog, explores the theme of the "conjur woman" in the work of artist Romare Bearden (1911-1988). Throughout his career, Bearden represented the female figure of the conjurer, or her Caribbean equivalent, the Obeah woman, in his art. Enthralled by her spirituality and power to transform, Bearden depicted the Obeah in his collage, photomontage, and watercolors. Although much has been written about Bearden, this is the first book to critically address his obsessive and creative relationship with this figure of the black vernacular.One of Bearden's most striking methods for introducing the figure of the conjur woman in his art was by distilling Cubist and Dadaist fracture through the deconstructive aesthetics of jazz compositions and African American folk collage and assemblage. With arresting color, Bearden's conjurers were neither eroticized nor made passive. Essays look at Bearden's thematic presentation of African American spirituality in relation to his experiments with form and technique. They trace his visual musings on African, Caribbean, and African American expressive mysticism and examine his magical reinvention of pictorial space and time.This catalog accompanies an exhibition of the same title at the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University, which will be on display from March 4, 2006 through July 16, 2006. Together, they build on the findings of The Art of Romare Beaden, a major retrospective organized by the National Gallery of Art that toured nationwide.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 435 pages. clean tidy copyWhat do the Chinese literature and film inspired by the Cultural Revolution ( 1966?1976) have in common with the Chinese literature and film of the May Four th movement (1918?1930)? This new book demonstrates that these two periods of the highest literary and cinematic creativity in twentieth-century China share s everal aims: to liberate these narrative arts from previous aesthetic orthodoxie s, to draw on foreign sources for inspiration, and to free individuals from soci al conformity.Although these consistencies seem readily apparent, with a sharper focus the distinguished contributors to this volume reveal that in many ways discontinuity, not continuity, prevails. Their analysis illuminates the po werful meeting place of language, imagery, and narrative with politics, history, and ideology in twentieth-century China.Drawing on a wide range of meth odologies, from formal analysis to feminist criticism, from deconstruction to cu ltural critique, the authors demonstrate that the scholarship of modern Chinese literature and film has become integral to contemporary critical discourse. They respond to Eurocentric theories, but their ultimate concern is literature and f ilm in China?s unique historical context. The volume illustrates three general issues preoccupying this century?s scholars: the conflict of the rural search for roots and the native soil movement versus the new strains of urban exoticis m; the diacritics of voice, narrative mode, and intertextuality; and the reintro duction of issues surrounding gender and subjectivity.…
