The invitations were written backwards, forcing the guests to use the assistance of a mirror to read them. The attire required was “black tie, long dresses and surrealists heads.” Upon arrival, the facade of the chateau was lit in red with the effect of making it appear to be on fire. text written by Canbra Hodsdon REDUX: Tim Ingold on the Future of Academic Publishing | Allegra Tell me in what journal you publish and I will tell you who you are! As social and human scientists we are caught in the midst of conflicting forces. On the one hand we (try to) “fight” against structural/cultural mechanisms of marginalization and the reification of social hierarchies; on the other hand the academic world itself is an extremely hierarchical system, with its global centres and peripheries. Since its creation, Tim Ingold, Chair of Social Anthropology at the University of Aberdeen, has been a great source of inspiration for Allegra (see previous posts: here and here). Antonio: My feeling is that it is getting more and more difficult to find an article published in a journal that provides us with a sense of “discovery,” surprise or revelation. Tim: I am very concerned, as you are, about the pressures towards standardization and uniformity that are currently being brought to bear on publication in anthropology, as in other disciplines in the humanities and social sciences.

Gesture drawings are works of art created in an extremely short amount of time, traditionally 30 seconds — and certainly no more than two mintues.

Gesture drawings are an excellent method of studying humans and animals in motion.They can help artists better understand the exertions of muscles, the effects of twisting on the body, and the natural range of motion in the joints.They help artists to place emphasis on movement, action, and direction, which can be overlooked during a long drawing.

The Minimalist Beauty of a Renaissance-Era Geometry Book Perspectiva Corporum Regularium (Perspective of regular solids), created in 1568 by German goldsmith and printmaker Wenzel Jamnitzer (1508–1585) and available online through the Getty Research Institute, is a study in shapes inspired by the five Platonic solids: tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron. An article by Frank J. Swetz on the Mathematical Association of America’s website explains that the Platonic solids were thought to be the building blocks of four basic types of matter: tetrahedron of fire, octahedron of air, cube of earth, water of icosahedron. The 10-faced solid — the dodecahedron — symbolized heaven and the universe. In Perspectiva Corporum Regularium, Jamnitzer rotates and carves each of the solids to demonstrate how they might function as the building blocks of the world. Though science has since demonstrated the atom to be the most basic part of all matter, Jamnitzer’s studies possess a captivating artistic merit.
