The Kantian Aesthetic: From Knowledge to the Avant-garde

The Kantian Aesthetic explains the kind of perceptual knowledge involved in aesthetic judgments. It does so by linking Kant's aesthetics to a critically upgraded account of his theory of knowledge. This upgraded theory emphasizes those conceptual and imaginative structures which Kant terms,respectively,categories and schemata. By describing examples of aesthetic judgment,it is shown that these judgments must involve categories and fundamental schemata (even though Kant himself,and most comm

Wireless Imagination: Sound, Radio, and the Avant-Garde

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kahn, Douglas / Whitehead, Gregory, PUBLISHER: MIT Press (MA), "Wireless Imagination" addresses perhaps the most conspicuous silence in contemporary theory and art criticism, the silence that surrounds the polyphonous histories of audio art. Composed of both original essays and several newly translated documents, this book provides a close audition to some of the most telling and soundful moments in the "deaf century," conceived and performed by such artists as Raymond Roussel, Antonin Artaud, Marcel Duchamp, Andre Breton, John Cage, Hugo Ball, Kurt Weill, and William Burroughs.

4 project packs (about 48 sq m) of silver smooth 'avant-garde' sandstone paving from Stonemarket

I have 4 project packs of Stonemarket, avant-garde (silver) natural sandstone paving to sell. Each pack includes 4 sizes of stone & covers 12 sq metres so total about 48 sq metres. We bought it about 4 years ago and due to building work and the necessity to match with new flooring inside has forced us to lift and replace this beautiful stone. Bought from Stonemarket and still on their website. Now selling for £ per pack inc. VAT so we paid in excess of £4k. Stacked in the back garden so buyer would need to collect and move them from the back to the front garden but through our side alley - the price I want reflects this. Happy to answer questions.

The Borderlands of the American and Canadian Wests: Essays

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Evans, Sterling, PUBLISHER: University of Nebraska Press, "The Borderlands of the American and Canadian Wests" is the first collection of interdisciplinary essays bringing together scholars from both sides of the forty-ninth parallel to examine life in a transboundary region. The result is a text that reveals the diversity, difficulties, and fortunes of this increasingly powerful but little-understood part of the North American West. Contributions by historians, geographers, anthropologists, and scholars of criminal justice and environmental studies provide a comprehensive picture of the history of the borderlands region of the western United States and Canada. "" "The Borderlands of the American and Canadian Wests" is divided into six parts: Defining the Region, Colonizing the Frontier, Farming and Other Labor Interactions, the Borderlands as a Refuge in the Nineteenth Century, the Borderlands as a Refuge in the Twentieth Century, and Natural Resources and Conservation along the Border. Topics include the borderlands' environment; its aboriginal and gender history; frontier interactions and comparisons; agricultural and labor relations; tourism; the region as a refuge for Mormons, far-right groups, and Vietnam War resisters; and conservation and natural resources. These areas show how the history and geography of the borderlands region has been transboundary, multidimensional, and unique within North America.
