Art and Mourning

The role of creativity in healing trauma and loss

By: Esther Dreifuss-Kattan

Art and Mourning explores the relationship between creativity and the work of self-mourning in the lives of 20th century artists and thinkers. The role of artistic and creative endeavours is well-known within psychoanalytic circles in helping to heal in the face of personal loss, trauma, and mourning. In this book, Esther Dreifuss-Kattan, a psychoanalyst, art therapist and artist - analyses the work of major modernist and contemporary artists and thinkers through a psychoanalytic lens. In coming to terms with their own mortality, figures like Albert Einstein, Louise Bourgeois, Paul Klee, Eva Hesse and others were able to access previously unknown reserves of creative energy in their late works, as well as a new healing experience of time outside of the continuous temporality of everyday life. Dreifuss-Kattan explores what we can learn about using the creative process to face and work through traumatic and painful experiences of loss. Art and Mourning will inspire psychoanalysts and psychotherapists to understand the power of artistic expression in transforming loss and traumas into perseverance, survival and gain. Art and Mourning offers a new perspective on trauma and will appeal to psychoanalysts and psychotherapists, psychologists, clinical social workers and mental health workers, as well as artists and art historians.

Fiction on Wheels 1882-1885

Stories Written by Five Women Authors

By: Lost Century of Sports Collection,M. H. Catherwood,Minna Caroline Smith,Belle Campbell,Florine Thayer McCray,Esther Louise Smith

This volume of the Sports She Wrote series showcases a collection of fictional works by pioneering women authors who creatively incorporated the rising popularity of cycling into their narratives between 1882 and 1885 (118,000 words). While the stories do not offer substantial technical insights into cycling, they intricately weave tricycles and bicycles into tales of exploration, self-discovery, and personal freedom. A notable contributor is M. H. Catherwood, renowned for her romantic historical novels. Her serialized story, Castle Trundle, was published in The Wheelman from November 1883 to January 1884.The same publication featured two stories by Minna Caroline Smith, who wrote under the pseudonym "Minimum": I Wait for My Story (November 1882) and A Flying Dutchman (serialized from December 1882 to May 1883). A New Ixion; or, The Man on the Wheel, was published in March 1883, written by Belle Campbell, featuring a thrilling chase scene between a bicycle and a horse to earn a woman’s affections. The centerpiece of this anthology is the 1884 novel Wheels and Whims, co-authored by Florine Thayer McCray and Esther Louise Smith. It follows four young women on a tricycle tour along the Connecticut River, delving into themes of sisterhood, romance, women's rights, and societal norms. The text is accompanied by several illustrations. These captivating stories not only reflect the Victorian-era fascination with cycling but also serve as a testament to the ingenuity of women authors, offering readers a glimpse into a bygone era when wheeling was more than just a means of transportation—it was a muse for transformative storytelling. Sports She Wrote is a 31-volume time-capsule of primary documents written by more than 500 women in the 19th century, including nine volumes on cycling.

Email and the Everyday

Stories of Disclosure, Trust, and Digital Labor

By: Esther Milne

An exploration of how email is experienced, understood, and materially structured as a practice spanning our everyday domestic and work lives. Despite its many obituaries, email is not dead. As a global mode of business and personal communication, email outstrips newer technologies of online interaction; it is deeply embedded in our everyday lives. And yet--perhaps because the ubiquity of email has obscured its study--this is the first scholarly book devoted to email as a key historical, social, and commercial site of digital communication in our everyday lives. In Email and the Everyday, Esther Milne examines how email is experienced, understood, and materially structured as a practice spanning the domestic and institutional spaces of daily life.

Noir

A missing intergalactic artifact valuable enough to inspire murder. A cartoon gag gone bad that leads to a gruesome death. Greek deities unraveling a divine mystery in New York City. A human detective navigating the temptations of Faerie in pursuit of a magical killer. Call them sleuths, call them gumshoes, call them shamuses or dicks or beagles—these private investigators prowl the back alleys of imagination, explaining the unexplainable, seeking answers and justice for two hundred dollars a day plus expenses. In Noir, speculative fiction authors Hal Bodner, Jessie Kwak, Esther M. Friesner, Travis Wade Beaty, John Zakour, Alex Bledsoe, Erik Grove, Andrija Popovic, Julie E. Czerneda, Aprilynne Pike, D.B. Jackson, Justin Jordan, Steven Harper, R.S. Belcher, and Eve Golden-Woods spin tales of intrigue and danger, introducing you to worlds where information is currency and life is cheap. So put on your fedora, raise your trench coat collar against the evening chill, and come explore the shadows. But remember, in this seedy business, you can trust no one...sometimes not even yourself.

Thinking with Things

Toward a New Vision of Art

By: Esther Pasztory

At its heart, Pasztory's thesis is simple and yet profound. She asserts that humans create things (some of which modern Western society chooses to call "art") in order to work out our ideas - that is, we literally think with things. Pasztory draws on examples from many societies to argue that the art-making impulse is primarily cognitive and only secondarily aesthetic. She demonstrates that "art" always reflects the specific social context in which it is created, and that as societies become more complex, their art becomes more rarefied."--Jacket.

The Making of Mexican Modernist Architecture

By: Celia Esther Arredondo Zambrano

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Making of Mexican Modernist Architecture

By: Celia Esther Arredondo Zambrano

This book presents the making of Mexican Modernist architecture through five power structures – academic, social status, economic/political, gender, and postcolonial – and by interviews and analysis of 13 key Mexican architects. These include Luis Barragán, José Villagrán García, Juan O’Gorman, Pedro Ramírez Vázquez, Agustín Hernández, Abraham Zabludovsky, Carlos Mijares, Ricardo Legorreta, Juan José Díaz Infante, Enrique Norten, Alberto Kalach, Javier Sordo Madaleno and Clara de Buen. Although the five power structures framed what was built, the testimony of these Mexican architects helps us to recognize and discover subtleties and nuances. Their views thereby shed light on what contributed to making Mexican Modernist architecture so distinctive globally. Even if these architects were not always aware of the power structures, their projects nonetheless supported discrimination, marginalization and subjugation. In that sense the book also reveals the extent to which these power structures are still present today. The Making of Mexican Modernist Architecture’s uniqueness lies in uncovering the remarkable buildings that arose amid the five power structures while at the same time questioning their validity. It also voices the urgent need today for a new kind of architecture outside these boundaries. The book is essential reading for anyone studying Mexican and Latin American architecture.
