‎A monumental series of over a hundred color-photographic portraits of Americans. Shot against luminous painted backdrops devoid of any other imagery, each figure is presented alone and calmly posed (except for the corpses). Each image clings to the surface value of the photograph, yet alludes to the subject beneath. This is a work whose sentiment towards its subject matter occurred post-9.11: it opens with the image of a fresh-faced boy scout and closes with the image of "Blood on the Flag." The vast circuitry of lives between these bookends' divides the book into several series, after "America": A History of Sex, The Morgue, Nomads, The Church, Budapest, Bodily Fluids & more.

‎Summary Fondée en 1113 au pied de la montagne Sainte-Geneviève, l'abbaye de Saint-Victor de Paris s'est rapidement dotée de petits établissements, des prieurés simples et des prieurés-cures, pour gérer un patrimoine dispersé et desservir des églises paroissiales entre Senlis et Orléans. Le réseau prioral victorin, de taille réduite, reste très dynamique aux XIIe-XIIIe siècles, période d'intense essaimage et de développement des domaines gérés par les chanoines forains. À partir de 1330 et jusqu'au milieu du XVe siècle, ces petites dépendances directes subissent de plein fouet les crises. Mais dès 1460, le grand mouvement de reconstruction économique donne l'occasion aux prieurs d'être plus actifs dans l'administration de leurs établissements et d'utiliser de nouvelles méthodes de gestion. En analysant les aspects institutionnels, économiques, sociaux et spirituels de la vie des frères dans les petites dépendances directes de l'abbaye, cette étude approfondie met en lumière le fonctionnement des prieurés canoniaux du XIIe au XVIe siècle. Ce volume montre comment les relations mère-fils évoluent au cours du temps en fonction des réformes abbatiales et révèle la fossé qui sépare parfois la conception du réseau édictée par l'abbé et le convent, et l'attitude des chanoines forains sur le terrain.

‎My New York Diary‎

‎, Drawn & Quarterly Publications, 1999 Paperback, 104 pages , ENG, 230 x 155 x 10 mm, As New !, illustrated in b/w. ISBN 9781896597249.‎

‎Julie Doucet is widely regarded as one of the most prominent cartoonists to emerge in the past decade. Now, Drawn & Quarterly is publishing Doucet's third book, her longest and most ambitious story collected for the first time in one beautifully produced softcover edition. The New York Diary documents in compelling and graphic detail the events in Doucet's life during a six-month period in 1991. At that time, she packed her bags and moved to New York and waiting for her in anticipation was her new boyfriend, an aspiring cartoonist himself who took Julie into his upper west side apartment. The excitement of this new beginning was short-lived; gradually, her boyfriend's over-bearing jealousy became more evident, and the confines of her surroundings slowly became more suffocating. Rounding up this new book are two more stories that complete the obsessive-boyfriend triptych: the sad and revealing "My First Time" and the 25-page "Julie in Junior College".‎

‎, Tervuren, Koninklijk Museum voor Midden - Afrika,, 2018 HB, 260 x 215 mm, 176 pages, English edition. FINE. ISBN 9789085867760.‎

‎This book, which is being published to mark the opening of the museum, unveils an ensemble of 77 important works from the collection held by the Royal Museum for Central Africa. A range of academics, conservators, and experts on African art provides an examination and analysis of each of these pieces. Many of the works brought together here can be found in the gallery assigned to the temporary exhibition Unrivalled Art. Others can be encountered in the rooms devoted to the permanent exhibition. And some of the works afford a glimpse behind the scenes at the RMCA, in the hushed atmosphere of the depots, about which the general public is largely unaware. Researcher and curator Julien Volper has selected pieces that come not only from the Congo, but also from other countries, such as Angola or Gabon. Sometimes they are physical testaments to lost cultures dating from the eighth to tenth century, or even dating to tens of thousands of years ago! However, most of the works belong to the more recent period of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. All of these masks, statuettes, ivories, weapons, receptacles and other artefacts express a genuine creativity - a creativity described so aptly in 1919 by the theorist Vladimir Markov: '[.] this [African] art is unrivalled anywhere else in the world.'‎

‎Martial Raysse: Dessins/Drawings aantalIn winkelmand New Realistic France, a close friend of the artists of Pop Art in New York and Los Angeles, director of psychedelic films? Raysse is a major artist of the contemporary scene. While his portraits of women of the sixties are become icons and its allegorical frescoes surprise again, Dilecta Publishing has released a book presenting a selection of his drawings, from its beginnings to the present. Still little known, these works on paper are fraught with the same audacity and impertinence that his paintings, eroticism haloed and mythologies updated. One hundred selected drawings constitute this publication, showing the practice of drawing, not as one preparatory step to his paint job, but especially as plastics experiences, very free, allowing him to explore techniques as diverse as mine graphite, pastel or watercolor. After literary studies, in 1959 Martial Raysse made his first assemblages by enclosing small toys and toiletries in transparent boxes, in order to foreground, unfussily, the charge of emotion and visual intensity these cold little objects can hold. In 1960, his Visual Hygiene series of household implements hung around a long-handled scrubbing brush, or sunscreen products and beach toys crowned by an advertising dummy, ushered into the realm of art «a world that is new, antiseptic and pure», that of the supermarkets and advertising for the consumer society. This reappropriation of objects that are supremely banal aligned him with the experiments of Arman, Spoerri and Tinguely, with whom he founded the New Realists group in 1960. Soon regarded as the young French artist who came closest to American Pop Art, between 1961 in 1966 Raysse participated in numerous artistic events throughout Europe and the United States. After 1968, Raysse underwent a shift which led him to make a sudden break with the circuit of dealers and galleries, and to withdraw to the south of France. Within the community he formed with a number of friends, he made works using craft techniques, and subsequently returned to the most traditional modes of painting. «Martial Raysse», monographic exhibition dedicated to French artist Martial Raysse. Curated by Caroline Bourgeois in collaboration with the artist. From 12 April 2015 to 31 November 2015, Palazzo Grassi, Venice (It.)‎

‎philosophe dans la cité : Sénèque et l'otium philosophique‎

‎, Brepols, 2022 Paperback, 483 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:6 tables b/w., Language: French. ISBN 9782503596341.‎

‎Summary Quel est le rôle du philosophe dans la cité ? Comment celui que l'on appellerait aujourd'hui « l'intellectuel » remplit-il au mieux ses devoirs d'homme et de citoyen ? Est-ce en choisissant l'action, notamment politique, dans la sphère publique ? Est-ce plutôt en « contemplant », c'est-à-dire en se consacrant à la recherche et à l'écriture ? Ou encore en enseignant ? Ces questions sont centrales dans l'Antiquité. Présent dès Platon, le débat sur les genres de vie devient prégnant dans les philosophies hellénistiques et prend une tournure singulière à Rome, où les concepts grecs de praxis et de theoria rencontrent les notions d'otium et de negotium. L'?uvre de Sénèque s'avère, sur cette question, tout à fait novatrice. Dans une approche qui mêle des enjeux philosophiques et culturels, mais aussi linguistiques et littéraires, le philosophe romain renouvelle à la fois le débat philosophique et la notion romaine d'otium, synonyme chez lui de retraite philosophique. Prolongeant les réflexions de Cicéron sur la légitimité de l'étude philosophique, mais poussant plus loin que ce dernier la promotion de la contemplation et précisant la posture sociale du philosophe, Sénèque est le premier penseur romain à construire une véritable éthique de l'otium. L'intérêt philosophique de l'?uvre sénéquienne se double d'un intérêt littéraire dans la mesure où l'écriture est une activité majeure du philosophe retiré dans l'otium. La réflexion de Sénèque sur l'activité intellectuelle du philosophe est aussi une réflexion littéraire sur la fonction et les modalités de l'écriture philosophique.‎

‎, ludion, 2022 Hardcover, 280 x 230 mm, 192 pages, throughout colour illustrations, ENG edition only. fine!. ISBN 9789493039735.‎

‎Paper was a source of pleasure for Magritte. Where his oil paintings demanded meticulousness and patience, this was a medium in which he could give his ideas free rein. Fresh approaches were tried out first on paper - in his correspondence as well as in drawings, collages and gouaches. Magritte's many sketches, grid drawings, scribbles in letters and book illustrations demonstrate the extent to which drawing lay at the core of his work. While this aspect of the artist's oeuvre has rarely been examined, it nevertheless underpins all his painting. His drawings help us understand how his ideas evolved. For the first time, this comprehensive publication brings together more than 200 works on paper by René Magritte, many of which have not previously been published.‎

‎Summary Isabel Alfonso is one of the finest scholars on the rural and political history of the European Middle Ages. She is widely known for her contributions to the study of the peasantry, social conflict, and political discourses. Her research has transcended the boundaries of medieval studies, incorporating insights from disciplines beyond including legal anthropology, philology, and discourse analysis, among others. Over her academic career Isabel Alfonso has made a continued effort to make the work of international scholars known in Spain and to communicate advancements in Spanish historiography to international audiences; and yet most of her own research has only been published in Spanish. As a means to acknowledge her long-standing commitment to bridge different historiographies and overcome national boundaries, this unusual Festschrift offers a selection of her most relevant publications, many of which appear in English for the very first time. Each paper is preceded by commentaries by leading scholars that discuss the enduring relevance of Isabel Alfonso,s work, its richness and complexity, and its potential to inspire further research along a vast array of lines. Commentaries by Jean Birrell, François Bougard, Warren Brown, Peter Coss, Wendy Davies, Chris Dyer, Ros Faith, François Foronda, Paul Freedman, Piotr Gorécki, John Hudson, André Evangelista Marques, Jesús Rodríguez-Velasco, Phillipp Schofield, Stephen D.

‎Polity and Neighbourhood in Early Medieval Europe‎

‎, Brepols, 2019 Hardback, xviii + 430 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:14 b/w, 39 maps, 6 graphs, Language: English. ISBN 9782503581682.‎

‎Summary How were early medieval people connected to each other and to the wider world? In this collection, archaeologists and historians working in very different areas of early medieval Europe explore diverse evidence - from landscape and burial archaeology to charters and chronicles - to discuss the relationships that constituted neighbourhoods and the roles these played in the processes of state formation that can be observed in the peripheries of the Frankish world. What these case-studies teach us, the contributors argue, is that polities are formed not through the exclusive operation of either top-down or bottom-up agencies, but from the interplay between them. By exploring the ways in which local knowledge, social ties, and understandings of landscape interacted with higher-level authorities and institutions, we can gain real insights into the nature of early medieval power and people's experiences of it. Marking the culmination of a collective effort that has spanned over a decade and three funded projects, this volume brings together case-studies from Spain, Italy, England, northern Frankia, Norway, and Iceland to offer a comparative view of polities and neighbourhoods in early medieval Europe. Drawing on new research, and offering new perspectives driven by an interdisciplinary approach, this volume is of relevance to a range of disciplines including archaeology, history, onomastics, geography, and anthropology.

The first part of the book; 'Bloodline', has all the photographs the artist could find of his biological family up to his birth, they show persons he often doesn't feel connected to or hardly knows. 'Heartline' has all the photographs he could find of the two people in his foster family. They are close to his heart, far from his blood. The book is signed and numbered by the artist in an edition of 250 copies. ‎

‎I have a very small, complicated and a bit weird family. In fact I almost had two families: my real biological one (a very mysterious group of people some of whom I hardly knew... others I never even met!....) and also some other people who were kind of my foster family. There are very few photographs, or memories left of both of them. "Bloodline" has all the photographs I could find of my real, biological family up to my birth. The existing blood trail up to me, so to speak... "Heartline" has all the photographs I could find of the two people in my foster family. Close to my heart, far from my blood.
