哈里森是西方神话学史上剑桥学派的代表人物，她提出的“神话——仪式”学说主要关注对于古希腊艺术和神话的宗教与民俗渊源的探索，认为所有的神话都源于对民俗仪式的叙述和解释；而原始仪式在褪却了巫术的魔力和宗教的庄严之后，就演变为戏剧。

In straightforward prose that doesn't mystify art or deny its special allure, prominent art dealer and market expert Michael Findlay offers a close up and personal view of almost 50 years in the business of art. He engagingly explains art's three kinds of value: commercial; social; and what he terms its essential value - the range of responses to art that we as individuals have depending on our culture, education and life experience. Few avid collectors are immune to the thrill of rising market value, but Findlay argues that buying for investment alone is seldom smart. A genuine love of art and the ways it may enrich one's social life also play important roles. Down-to-earth and with a touch of dry wit, he explains exactly how artworks are valued and reveals the workings of the art market. Enhancing his narrative are wise advice, insider anecdotes and tales of scoundrels and scams, celebrity collectors and remarkable discoveries. Generously illustrated, Findlay's distillation of a lifetime's experience makes this insider's guide indispensable for all who love art, not only collectors but true "amateurs" as well.

这部创新之作对西欧戏剧传统中的演出空间进行了历史描述。大卫·怀尔斯采取了一种广泛的视野，认为戏剧活动既发生在作为“剧场”而设计的建筑中，同样也发生在教堂、街道、酒馆和画廊。他追溯了从希腊罗马直至当下的一系列不同的空间连续性，其中包括在标准的戏剧史中没有涵盖的领域。借鉴亨 利·列斐伏尔的文化地理学，本书将戏剧演出定义为特定社会结构的空间实践。这不是一部戏剧文学的背景史。怀尔斯利用历史材料来解决一个当前的紧迫问题：戏剧演出是在现代建筑师设计的、表面中性的“空的空间”中更好，还是在富有个性的“现成空间”中更好？

这里可以看到的十三个小档案：精心琢磨、编排有序的手稿；为了组织知识而绘制的图标和彩色符号：摆设特别讲究、家具齐全的住宅、走廊和俄国玩具的摄影；来自托斯卡纳和巴利阿里群岛的明信片；细致的、设计独特的目录、卡片索引；每一平方厘米的空间都得到利用的笔记本；儿子的早期词汇和句子汇编；谜语和神秘的女预言家。所有这一切都以一种微妙的方式互相交织在一起。 瓦尔特•本雅明档案是最高的复合体，很有个性，有时候是非理性的和古怪的。但它们都指向他的著作的中心。它们从他的档案里绘制了一幅作者的肖像。

Lucian Freud (1922–2011) was interested in the telling of truth. Always operating outside the main currents of 20th-century art, the esteemed portrait painter observed his subjects with the regimen and precision of a laboratory scientist. He recorded not only the blotches, bruises, and swellings of the living body, but also, beneath the flaws and folds of flesh, the microscopic details of what lies within: the sensation, the emotion, the intelligence, the bloom, and the inevitable, unstoppable decay. Despite rejecting parallels between him and his renowned grandfather, the correlation between Lucian Freud's sitting process for portraiture and Sigmund Freud's psychotherapy sessions is a fascinating element to this figurative oeuvre. Despite the thickness of the impasto surfaces, Freud's portraits of subjects as varied as the Queen, Kate Moss, and an obese job center supervisor, penetrate the physicality of the body with a direct and often disarming insight. The result is as much a psychological interrogation as it is an uneasy examination of the relationship between artist and model. This book brings together some of Freud's most outstanding and unapologetic portraits, to introduce an artist widely considered one of the finest masters of the human form.

Shot in France, England, Switzerland and the United States, this documentary covers director Alejandro Jodorowsky (El Topo, Holy Mountain, Santa Sangre) and his 1974 Quixotic attempt to adapt the seminal sci-fi novel Dune into a feature film. After spending 2 years and millions of dollars, the massive undertaking eventually fell apart, but the artists Jodorowsky assembled for the legendary project continued to work together. This group of artists, or his “warriors” as Jodorowsky named them, went on to define modern sci-fi cinema with such films as Alien, Blade Runner, Star Wars and Total Recall.

Videogames are a unique artistic form, and to analyse and understand them an equally unique language is required. Cremin turns to Deleuze and Guattari’s non-representational philosophy to develop a conceptual toolkit for thinking anew about videogames and our relationship to them. Rather than approach videogames through a language suited to other media forms, Cremin invites us to think in terms of a videogame plane and the compositions of developers and players who bring them to life. According to Cremin, we are not simply playing videogames, we are creating them. We exceed our own bodily limitations by assembling forces with the elements they are made up of. The book develops a critical methodology that can explain what every videogame, irrespective of genre or technology, has in common and proceeds on this basis to analyse their differences. Drawing from a wide range of examples spanning the history of the medium, Cremin discerns the qualities inherent to those regarded as classics and what those qualities enable the player to do. Exploring Videogames with Deleuze and Guattari analyses different aspects of the medium, including the social and cultural context in which videogames are played, to develop a nuanced perspective on gendered narratives, caricatures and glorifications of war. It considers the processes and relationships that have given rise to industrial giants, the spiralling costs of making videogames and the pressure this places developers under to produce standard variations of winning formulas. The book invites the reader to embark on a molecular journey through worlds neither ‘virtual’ nor ‘real’ exceeding image, analogy and metaphor. With clear explanations and detailed analysis, Cremin demonstrates the value of a Deleuzian approach to the study of videogames, making it an accessible and valuable resource for students, scholars, developers and enthusiasts.

A captivating, colorful examination of the ways in which Proust incorporated artists and the visual arts in his work. À la recherche du temps perdu by Marcel Proust is one of the most profoundly visual works in Western literature. Not only are there frequent references to specific works of art, notably during the narrator's visits to Venice and in his evaluations of the style of the imaginary painter Elstir, but certain characters are also evoked by comparison to particular paintings. Bloch's appearance as a boy is likened to the portrait of Mohammed II by Gentile Bellini; Odette de Crécy strikes Swann by her resemblance to a figure in a Botticelli fresco. Even the lesser figure of a certain Mme. Blattin becomes the subject of Proustian mischief by being described as "exactly the portrait of Savonarola by Fra Bartolomeo." Eric Karpeles has identified and located the many paintings to which Proust makes reference; in other cases, where only a painter's name is mentioned to indicate a certain style or appearance, Karpeles has chosen a representative work to illustrate the impression that Proust sought to evoke. With some 200 paintings beautifully reproduced in full color and texts drawn from the Moncrieff/Kilmartin/Enright translation, as well as concise commentaries on the novel's evolving story, this book is an essential addition to the libraries of Proustians everywhere. The book includes: • An authoritative introduction examining the various ways in which Proust used paintings and the arts to extend his descriptive vocabulary • A comprehensive index of artists and paintings mentioned in the novel

《开放的作品》是艾柯最重要的学术著作，是当代意识理论的革命性标志作品，以及讨论语言技术和20世纪先锋艺术的思想意识作用的坐标。艾柯作品理论中的“开放性”这一重要概念在西方文本理论中具有重要意义。 书中涵盖了十二音体系音乐、乔伊斯、试验文学、非形象绘画、运动艺术、电视直播 的时间结构、新小说派以及安东尼奥尼和戈达尔之后的电影、信息理论在美学上的运用等。 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 艾柯比那些称之为行动者和组合学者的美学家们更深刻、更有说服力。因为艾柯从总体出发，历史地看待“开放的作品”这一问题，即把它看作西方文明的一个自有现象。 ——米歇尔•泽拉法《新观察家》 在思想评论的巨大十字路口，出现了一位对自己的时代以及自己时代的人进行评论的最现代的伟大分析家，他在分析自己的时代时通过直觉发现了未来评论的预兆。 ——弗朗索瓦•冯•拉埃尔 这是一部非常重要的书，据我们所知，这是全面分析当代艺术的设计和方法的最早努力之一。它明白无误地表明了我们时代的艺术的深刻进步作用。 ——让-保罗•比埃尔《左翼报》 在《开放的作品》中，艾柯主张，不管作者的意图如何，读者有自由选择去解读一本书的权利——这个观点在如今已是文学界的常识。 ——《卫报》

别人仅仅把我当成具象画家，其实，在我写生的过程中有日记，有电影，它们和绘画一样都是艺术痕迹。艺术是有限制的，在这段被限制的时间内，一切皆为艺术。 2013年我游走在以色列和巴勒斯坦之间，画了一批画，每张画都由两块画布组成，中间是一公分的距离，暗示无法愈合的巴以关系。人生何尝不是如此，人与人，人与社会，人与自己的理想总是有些距离，我们总是一厢情愿地用一生的时间去弥补这些距离。索性这本书就叫“一公分”吧。但愿这一公分的距离给我们更多的猜想，更多的努力，充实这短暂的虚幻人生。 ——刘小东 本书收录刘小东十年来的绘画日记，起于《十八罗汉》，止于《向南飞》，如作者自己所说：“绘画不仅仅是图像，它更是手感留下的痕迹。”日记亦为此类“痕迹”之一种，它记下了金门海边无名酒馆的黑社会，也记下了三峡库区拆迁过程中意外身亡的农民工，这些文字如实反映了画家的创作过程和心理状态，也如同那些广为人知的画作，是个人对于时代的承担、抵抗和表达，可视为刘小东作品除绘画和电影之外的重要组成部分。
