 Free Download Sara Callahan, "Art + Archive: Understanding the archival turn in contemporary art " English | ISBN: 1526160285 | 2022 | 352 pages | MOBI | 3 MB Art + Archive provides an in-depth analysis of the connection between art and the archive at the turn of the twenty-first century. The book examines how the archive emerged in art writing in the mid-1990s and how its subsequent ubiquity can be understood in light of wider social, technological, philosophical and art-historical conditions and concerns. Deftly combining writing on archives from different disciplines with artistic practices, the book clarifies the function and meaning of one of the most persistent artworld buzzwords of recent years, shedding light on the conceptual and historical implications of the so-called archival turn in contemporary art.  Free Download Georgia Mouroutsou, "Aristippus of Cyrene, Pleasure and the Present " English | ISBN: 1009766708 | 2026 | 75 pages | PDF | 2 MB This Element offers a new historical account of Aristippus the Elder's views on pleasure and the present. Instead of treating Aristippus as merely proto-Cyrenaic or anachronistically modern, it uncovers in the ancient sources a neglected form of hedonism that endorses a present-focused therapeutic policy, while exploring its underlying motivations. Aristippan hedonism promotes a moment-to-moment disposition to pleasure rather than its maximization through future calculation, supporting a euthymic model of well-being that prioritizes the present. After distinguishing Aristippus from the later Cyrenaics regarding hedonic calculations to maximize pleasure, the Element yet supports continuity with his followers in the cognitive elements of the concept and the experience of pleasure, challenging his alleged sensualism in this way. Once the historical groundwork is in place, the Element introduces the hypothesis of the plasticity of the present, which moves beyond historical interpretation to offer an ethical-psychological account of a sustained focus on present time.

Free Download John Shannon Hendrix, "Architecture and the Unconscious" English | ISBN: 1472456475 | 2016 | 300 pages | PDF | 9 MB There are a number of recent texts that draw on psychoanalytic theory as an interpretative approach for understanding architecture, or that use the formal and social logics of architecture for understanding the psyche. But there remains work to be done in bringing what largely amounts to a series of independent voices, into a discourse that is greater than the sum of its parts, in the way that, say, the architect Peter Eisenman was able to do with the architecture of deconstruction or that the historian Manfredo Tafuri was able to do with the Marxist critique of architecture. The discourse of the present volume focuses specifically for the first time on the subject of the unconscious in relation to the design, perception, and understanding of architecture. It brings together an international group of contributors, who provide informed and varied points of view on the role of the unconscious in architectural design and theory and, in doing so, expand architectural theory to unexplored areas, enriching architecture in relation to the humanities. The book explores how architecture engages dreams, desires, imagination, memory, and emotions, how architecture can appeal to a broader scope of human experience and identity. Beginning by examining the historical development of the engagement of the unconscious in architectural discourse, and the current and historical, theoretical and practical, intersections of architecture and psychoanalysis, the volume also analyses the city and the urban condition.

Free Download Bruno Augusto Amato Borges, "Aquaculture: Biology And Ecology Of Cultured Species" English | ISBN: 1680958429 | 2018 | 190 pages | PDF | 13 MB "Historical records show that the emergence of aquaculture occurred about 4000 years ago in China, with the cultivation of marine seaweeds and subsequently the cultivation of carps. Since that time until today, many new production and management techniques were created in search to facilitate and improve processes; however, many methods created at that time are used until today. Currently, Chinese production of aquatic organisms almost reaches 40% of the world total production from aquaculture and capture (FAO, 2014). Also according to FAO (2014), world production from aquaculture has already surpassed 50% of total production of aquatic organisms, including fish, crustaceans, molluscs and aquatic plants. The most produced species are carps, tilapias, salmons, red and brown seaweeds, clams, oysters and shrimps. Several studies based on historical data of production and consumption of aquatic food show us that aquaculture has been growing as the production from catching decreases, and the per capita consumption increases as this food source becomes increasingly accessible and health agencies demonstrate their importance in the diet. I, as an engineer of aquaculture, believe in the growth and prosperity of the activity, but everything must be done with planning for sustainable development of the entire production chain. In addition, it is essential to understand the relationship between the environment and all the organisms present in the cultivation system to choose the type of management and the processes to be used. For the activity continues to grow is very important to perform studies about aspects of reproduction, nutrition, genetic improvement, pathology and environmental management. This book provides several studies related to biology and ecology of aquatic organisms grown in these aspects. I hope that this book can help in the understanding of some factors about biology and ecology and help producers with innovations." |
