Sandra Dudley: Museum Materialities : Objects, Engagements, Interpretations
Description
This is an innovative interdisciplinary book about objects and people within museums and galleries. It addresses fundamental issues of human sensory, emotional and aesthetic experience of objects. The chapters explore ways and contexts in which things and people mutually interact, and raise questions about how objects carry meaning and feeling, the distinctions between objects and persons, particular qualities of the museum as context for person-object engagements, and the active and embodied role of the museum visitor. Museum Materialities is divided into three sections - Objects, Engagements and Interpretations - and includes a foreword by Susan Pearce and an afterword by Howard Morphy. It examines materiality and other perceptual and ontological qualities of objects themselves; embodied sensory and cognitive engagements - both personal and across a wider audience spread - with particular objects or object types in a museum or gallery setting; notions of aesthetics, affect and wellbeing in museum contexts; and creative and innovative artistic and museum practices that seek to illuminate or critique museum objects and interpretations. Phenomenological and other approaches to embodied experience in an emphatically material world are current in a number of academic areas, most particularly strands of material culture studies within anthropology and cognate disciplines. Thus far, however, there has been no concerted application of this kind of approach to museum collections and interactions with them by museum visitors, curators, artists and researchers. Bringing together essays by scholars and practitioners from a wide disciplinary and international base, Museum Materialities seeks to make just such a contribution. In so doing it makes a valuable and original addition to the literature of both material culture studies and museum studies.
Hellboy's favorite gun-blazing vigilante takes justice to the skies aboard a Nazi-filled zeppelin and to the gritty alleyways of Chinatown against an army of monkeys. Collects "The Prayer of Neferu," "Caput Mortuum," "Satan Smells a Rat," "A Scent of Lotus" #1 #2, and "Tony Masso's Finest Hour" from "Dark Horse Presents" #9. Something very very strange is going on...because nothing strange is going on...Overnight, the SOS Brigade, the existence of supernatural beings, and Haruhi Suzumiya's obsession with uncovering the mysteries have disappeared. Kyon seems to be the only one who remembers anything about the infamous SOS Brigade and its members--the former time traveler Mikuru Asahina (now a normal student), the former alien Nagato (now a timid, stammering bookworm), or the energetic Haruhi Suzumiya (now nowhere to be found?). Just where is Haruhi? Not to mention The Life Era : Cosmic Selection and Conscious Evolution download book member number three, esper Koizumi? And why is Kyon, who so often longer for a normal life, so upset to find all of it suddenly gone?
