Description: The volume, dedicated to the 44th International Conference of the Italian Union for Drawing, investigates the theme of ‘Transitions’, which particularly effectively represents our time and the current condition of the discipline of Drawing. The term, beyond its generic meaning of an intermediate stage in a process in which a condition changes from one state to another, has always been used in various fields, from music to geophysics. In fact, the disciplines of drawing have always been confronted with themes and issues relating to transitions from one condition to another. The history of representation tells us of transformations, even epochal ones, relating to ‘drawing’, with all that such transitions entail: suffice it to think of the evolution of forms of representation, of instrumental apparatuses, of the mutability of supports, of the analogical-digital transition underway, of the new modes of communication on platforms, of the hypertrophic offer of images also on the net that confirms Guy Debord’s intuitions relating to the new spectacularisation of society. Similarly, representation triggers transitions in the prefiguration and communication of design, the anticipation and foreshadowing of future events.The challenges posed by the digital pose open questions whose scope can only be glimpsed, such as the relationship between drawing and the act of modelling, and the construction of new paradigms of visual language and communication. ‘Transitions’, almost implicitly, points to possible futures, the evolution of technique and the search for new modes of expression; at the same time, however, it can suggest silences and reflections in a process of connection between history, theory, criticism and construction.

Description: Comparative studies of mountain areas have long been at the core of the discussion about the relations between nature and culture as well as on environmental and social change. This volume searches for ways to develop further critical comparative perspectives in the study of cultures in mountain areas by drawing inter- and transdisciplinary links amongst anthropology, geography, folklore studies, montology, and global history. Drawing on examples mostly from the Alps and the Andes, but also extending to the global mountains, the authors explore socioecological environments, historical and political processes, borderscapes, demographic dynamics, forms of domestic organization, rituals, religiosities, and human-non-humanrelations.

Description: Gli studi comparativi sulle aree montane sono da tempo al centro del dibattito sul rapporto tra natura e cultura e sui cambiamenti ecologici e sociali. Questo volume è alla ricerca di nuovi percorsi per sviluppare ulteriormente prospettive comparative critiche per lo studio delle culture delle aree montane, tracciando collegamenti inter- e transdisciplinari tra antropologia, geografia, studi di folklore, montologia e storia globale. Basandosi su esempi provenienti soprattutto dalle Alpi e dalle Ande, ma estendendo l’orizzonte anche ad altre regioni montane a livello globale, le autrici e gli autori esplorano ambienti socio-ecologici, processi storici e politici, paesaggi di confine, dinamiche demografiche, forme di organizzazione domestica, rituali, religiosità e relazioni tra umani e non-umani.

Description: Vergleichende Studien über Bergregionen stehen seit langem im Zentrum der Debatte über das Verhältnis zwischen Natur und Kultur sowie über den ökologischen und sozialen Wandel. Dieser Band sucht nach Wegen, kritische vergleichende Perspektiven in der Erforschung von Kulturen in Bergregionen weiterzuentwickeln, indem er inter- und transdisziplinäre Verbindungen zwischen Anthropologie, Geographie, Volkskunde, Montologie und (Welt-)Geschichte herstellt. Anhand von Beispielen vor allem aus den Alpen und den Anden, aber auch aus anderen Gebirgsregionen der Welt, untersuchen die Autor:innen sozioökologische Umwelten, historische und politische Prozesse, Grenzlandschaften, demografische Dynamiken, Formen der häuslichen Organisation, Rituale, Religiosität und Mensch-/Nicht-Mensch-Beziehungen.

Two Twelfth-Century Texts on Chinese Painting (2021)

Details

Publication Date: 2024-03-23

Description: Two Twelfth-Century Texts on Chinese Painting presents two texts in translation that provide dual insight into the Painting Academy of Emperor Hui-tsung and the literati school of painting. The Shan-shui ch’un-ch’uan chi is a treatise for beginning landscape painters dated to the Hsüan-ho era. The treatise was written by Han Cho, a reputed member of the Academy, but the text was not specifically directed at Academicians. The treatise collects and orders previous writings on landscape painting; one of Han Cho’s main goals is to list all landscape definitions and their practical application in painting. Yet his view is more detached and analytical than a stereotypical Academy painter, revealing an approach reminiscent of Confucian scholarship and literati painting as well. The Hua-chi by Teng Ch’un is a history of painting that was written as a sequel to two earlier painting histories. In ten chapters, Teng Ch’un compiles facts and critical evaluations of painters from 1075 to 1167, as well as listings of selected masterpieces. Teng Ch’un provides more specific information about the Academy than Han Cho, discussing its organization and examination system, and noting that “form-likeness” and adherence to rules were leading standards for painting in the Academy. On the other hand, he thinks that painting should transmit “soul,” not just “form.” Thus, Teng Ch’un writes the history of both the establishment values of the Academy and the intellectual tendencies of the literati.

Description: A unique political animal, the European Union has given rise to important constitutional conundrums and paradoxes that John Erik Fossum and Agustín José Menéndez explore in detail in this book. The authors consider the process of forging the EU's constitution and the set of fundamental norms that define the institutional structure, the decision-making procedures, and the foundations of the Union's democratic legitimacy. Their analysis illuminates the distinctive features of the EU's pluralist constitutional construct but also the interesting parallels to the Canadian constitutional experience and provides the tools to understand the Union's development, especially during the Laeken (2001–2005) and Lisbon (2007–2009) processes of constitutional reform.

Die waarheidsweg Dhammapada (2021)

Publication Date: 2024-04-08

Description: This book aims to contribute to the understanding of Early Buddhism, specifically the Dhammapada (one of the great classical religious scriptures of the world) in its historical setting, namely India in the third to fifth centuries BCE, comprising a unique linguistic, religious and socio-cultural setting. It further aims to contribute to the hermeneutics of bridging the historical gap of two and a half millennia between ancient India and contemporary society and to bridge the gaps between various cultures (African, Western, Indian) and religions, mainly theistic religions (specifically Christianity) and Buddhism in contemporary society. The central foci of this interest are the crucial issues of the existence of God and life after death. The book further investigates the possibility of a metaphysical mystical model, embarked on by myself over some decades. Lastly, it explores the field of a translation strategy from classical metaphysical and religious texts, in this case into Afrikaans, which is a relatively new medium in this field, with unique challenges. Regarding research methodology, the book utilised the historical critical method of explaining the content of the Dhammapada, taking into account its context. It further used the method (derived from phenomenology) of understanding the subjective intentionality structure of the original author(s), going back to the Buddha as well as the method of tendentional interpretation, extrapolating the intentionality structure to a metaphysical-mystical model of religious ‘peace’. It entails a first-hand study of the text in the original language, as well as of extensive secondary literature on the aspects noted above. The book contributes to scholarship by unfolding the history and language of this Buddhist text, revealing the structure of its conceptual edifice, the specific style of its communication of its message and the ultimate goal of this system. It makes a case for the relevance of this ancient system of thought across various divides. It also makes a case for the relevance of an inclusive metaphysical mystical theory of all human systems of ultimate meaning and confirms work done in this regard by the author while offering a translation of the text, regarded as excellent by peers. The target audience of the book is envisaged as three concentric circles. The centre target consists of scholars in one or more of the fields of Pāli and Buddhist studies, theology, comparative religious studies and philosophy. Secondly, the text is aimed at readers with a wide education and cultural interest but not necessarily trained in any of the fields mentioned above. Thirdly, and more peripherally, the book intends being of value to the general public where inter-religious understanding and dialogue is of great significance on a global scale and of particular relevance to South African society.

Description: Hierdie boek wil ’n bydrae lewer tot die begrip van die vroeë Boeddhisme, spesifiek van die Dhammapada (een van die groot klassieke religieuse geskrifte van die wêreld) in die historiese konteks daarvan, naamlik Indië in die derde tot vyfde eeue VAJ, met ’n unieke taalkundige, religieuse en sosio-kulturele Sitz im Leben. Dit is ook gerig op die hermeneutiek van brug bou oor die historiese gaping van twee en ’n half millennia tussen antieke Indië en die huidige samelewing en op brug bou oor die gapings tussen verskeie kulture (Afrika, die Weste, Indië) en religieë, veral die teïstiese religieë (met name die Christendom) en die Boeddhisme in die huidige samelewing. Die sentrale fokuspunte van hierdie belangstelling is die wesenlike probleem-areas van die bestaan van God en die lewe na die dood. Die boek het ook ten doel ’n verdere toetsing van die moontlikheid van ’n metafisies mistieke model waarmee die outeur al ’n paar dekades lank besig is en ’n verdere verkenning van ’n strategie van vertaling uit klassieke metafisiese en religieuse tekste, in hierdie geval in Afrikaans, wat ’n betreklik nuwe medium op hierdie terrein is, wat unieke uitdagings bied. Wat navorsingsmetodologie betref, het die boek gebruik gemaak van die histories kritiese metode van verklaring van die inhoud van die Dhammapada met verwysing na die konteks daarvan. Dit steun ook op die metode (aan die fenomenologie ontleen) van die verstaan van die subjektiewe intensionaliteitstruktuur van die oorspronklik outeur(s) daarvan, uiteindelik teruggaande op die Boeddha en die metode van tendensionele vertolking, waarvolgens die intensionele struktuur geëkstrapoleer word tot ’n metafisies mistieke model van religieuse ‘vrede’. Laastens behels die boek ’n eerstehandse bestudering van die teks in die oorspronklike taal, sowel as uitgebreide sekondêre literatuur oor die aspekte hierbo. Die boek ontvou die geskiedenis en taal van hierdie Boeddhistiese teks en bring die struktuur van die stel sentrale konseptuele begrippe, die kommunikasiestyl van die boodskap en die uiteindelike doel van die stelsel aan die lig. Dit toon die relevansie van hierdie antieke denkstelsel bo-oor verskeie skeidingsfaktore aan asook die relevansie van ’n insluitende metafisies mistieke teorie van alle stelsels van uiteindelike menslike betekenistoekenning en bevestig die werk wat in hierdie verband deur die skrywer gedoen is. Laastens lewer hierdie boek ’n akademiese bydrae deurdat dit ’n vertaling van die teks bied wat deur eweknieë as uitstekend bestempel word. Die teikenlesers word as drie konsentriese sirkels voorgestel. Eerstens is daar die binne groep wat bestaan uit kenners op een of meer van die terreine van Pāli en Boeddhistiese studies, teologie, vergelykende godsdienswetenskap en filosofie. Tweedens is die boek gerig op lesers met ’n gevorderde opleiding, maar nie noodwendig op die terreine hierbo genoem nie, en met ’n breë kulturele belangstelling en derdens is die boek bedoel as waardevol vir lesers uit die algemene publiek, waar interreligieuse begrip en dialoog van groot belang is op ’n wêreldskaal, asook van besondere relevansie vir die Suid-Afrikaanse samelewing. Die outeur verklaar dat die manuskrip die uitkoms van oorspronklike navorsing deur homself is, en dat geen deel geplagieer of elders gepubliseer is nie.

Description: The 43rd UID conference, held in Genova, takes up the theme of ‘Dialogues’ as practice and debate on many fundamental topics in our social life, especially in these complex and not yet resolved times. The city of Genova offers the opportunity to ponder on the value of comparison and on the possibilities for the community, naturally focused on the aspects that concern us, as professors, researchers, disseminators of knowledge, or on all the possibile meanings of the discipline of representation and its dialogue with ‘others’, which we have broadly catalogued in three macro areas: History, Semiotics, Science / Technology. Therefore, “dialogue” as a profitable exchange based on a common language, without which it is impossible to comprehend and understand one another; and the graphic sign that connotes the conference is the precise transcription of this concept: the title ‘translated’ into signs, derived from the visual alphabet designed for the visual identity of the UID since 2017. There are many topics which refer to three macro sessions: - Witnessing (signs and history) - Communicating (signs and semiotics) - Experimenting (signs and sciences) Thanks to the different points of view, an exceptional resource of our disciplinary area, we want to try to outline the prevailing theoretical-operational synergies, the collaborative lines of an instrumental nature, the recent updates of the repertoires of images that attest and nourish the relations among representation, history, semiotics, sciences.
