Patrizia Calefato


The Clothed Body (Dress, Body, Culture) Patrizia Calefato State University of New York Press. Book Description What do tattooed Egyptian mummies of 2000 BC have in common with modern sub-cultural styles? From mini-skirts to skin decoration, make-up to hair, dress is imbued with symbols that reflect different meanings in different contexts. Calefato picks apart the multiple functions of modern dress, considering the psychological, cultural, spiritual and symbolic significances at play. What we wear is a vehicle for the (often contentious) expression of politics, gender and identity and therefore clothing is at the root of a complex set of messages, many paradoxical. Clothing may, for example, liberate through the pleasures of masquerade and at the same time State University of New York Press.

Mackintosh's Masterwork: The Glasgow School of Art


Mackintosh's Masterwork: The Glasgow School of Art Rutgers University Press. Book DescriptionOf the many practitioners of art nouveau in Great Britain, Charles Rennie Mackintosh has outlasted them all. His work bridged the more ornate style of the later nineteenth century and the forms of international modernism that followed. Like Frank Lloyd Wright, with whom he is frequently compared, Mackintosh is known for so thoroughly integrating art and decoration that the two became inseparable. His work has been honored by a major exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and his designs have proliferated to such an extent that they can be found reproduced in posters, prints, jewelry, and even new buildings. His most important project was the Glasgow School of Art, which still functions as a highly prestigious art school. This glorious building is visited each year by thousands of tourists from around the world. Built over a dozen years, beginning in 1897, the Glasgow School of Art is Mackintosh's greatest and most influential legacy.

Fionn Murtagh


Correspondence Analysis And Data Coding With Java And R (Chapman & Hall Computer Science and Data Analysis) Fionn Murtagh Book DescriptionDeveloped by Jean-Paul Benzerci more than 30 years ago, correspondence analysis as a framework for analyzing data quickly found widespread popularity in Europe.
