In "Closer", Susan Kozel draws on live performance practice, digital technologies, and the philosophical approach of phenomenology Trained in dance and philosophy, Kozel places the human body at theаьлеч center of explorations of interactive interfaces, responsive systems, and affective computing, asking what can be discovered as we become closer to our computers-as they become extensions of our ways of thinking, moving, and touching Performance, Kozel argues, can acбкщлчt as a catalyst for understanding wider social and cultural uses of digital technology Taking this one step further, performative acts of sharing the body through our digital devices foster a collaborative construction of new physical states, levels of conscious awareness, and even ethics We reencounter ourselves and others through our interactive computer systems What we need now are conceptual and methodological frameworks to reflect this Kozel offers a timely reworking of the pбсафщhenomenology of French philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty This method, based on a respect for lived experience, begins by listening to the senses and noting insights that arrive in the midst of dance, or quite simply in the midst of life The combination of performance and phenomenology offered by Closer yields entwinements between experience and reflection that shed light on, problematize, or restructure scholarly approaches to human bodies using digital technologies After outlining her approach and methodology and clarifying the key concepts of performance, technologies, and virtuality, Kozel applies phenomenological method to the experience of designing and performing in a range of computational systems: telematics, motion capture, responsive architectures, and wearable computing The transformative potential of the alchemy between bodies and technologies is the foundation of Closer With careful design, future generations of responsive systems and mobile devices can expбтлзэand our social, physical, and emotional exchanges Автор Susan Kozel.

Редактор: Пол Дункан In terms of celebrity icons, few attained the highest levels of fame and controversy as rapidly as Mae West Labeled a "pornographer" by censorship boards, she was also oаьлеьne of 1930s Hollywood's most lucrative box-office draws (causing Variety in 1933 to label the star "as hot an issue as Hitler") Nicknamed by critic George Jean Nathan "the Statue of Libido" and paid homage to in the title song of Cole Porter's musiбкщлъcal Anything Goes, her voluptuous image and signature platinum blond air became recognizable worldwide and for decades beyond her prime years of fame in the 1930s In fact, even by the 1960s when the Beatles wanted to use her image on the cover of their Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album, those long-haired icons of a new generation were required to deliver a handwritten plea to the icon (which they dutifully did), since West herself always objected, as she said, to belonging бсафъto any "lonely hearts club" Издание на английском, немецком, французском языках Иллюстрации Авторы Dominique Mainon Джеймс Урсини James Ursini.

He's the most self-invented man in movies, this side of Charlie Chaplin Like Chaplin, Cary Grant grew up poor, trained as an acrobat, and brims with confidence, romance, and a spirit of merry larceny - he jusаьлжбt has a better tailor His impeccable timing and light, cat burglar's touch at stealing women's hearts were perfect for the jaunty heroics and romantic farce of such classic films as An Affair to Remember, Notorious, His Girl Friday, North by Northwest, Bringing up Babбкщмдy, and To Catch a Thief In the end, the role became the man-he had ceased to play "Cary Grant" and simply was Cary Grant One could wish no man any greater happiness than that Автор Ф К Фини F X Feeney.

Mass tourism has become one of the most highly developed and fastest growing industries This lavishly photographed book examines, albeit selectively, the rise and rise of resort architecture in Southeast Asiaаьлжй Many of these sumptuous enclaves, designed for an unabashedly hedonistic lifestyle, have an enigmatic presence in the pristine environments in which they are located Like tectonic mirages in exotic sites, these sybaritic havens are both theatrical and stage set-likeбкщмз, exuding a blissful serenity and meditative quality The book is the first to showcase the burgeoning variety of these beguiling resorts The architectural resolution, based on traditional skills, invariably necessitates the involvement of traditional craftsmen The result is usually an exquisitely well-crafted resort that is a tribute to timeless craftsmanship and fine artisanry Although some are besotted with nostalgia and couched in the plaintive terms of "tradition" anбсахаd "identity", many offer a sensual physicality and sheer foie de vivre that are thoroughly absorbing while elevating the works above the mundane Формат: 28 см х 32 см Иллюстрации Автор Tan Hock Beng Tan Hock Beng.

Редактор: Пол Дункан Elizabeth Taylor was a "diva" when that word still had meaning, before it was applied to every female celebrity with slightest bit of attitude and style She was also oneаьлеш of the first actors to be raised to celebrity status by the media for the dramatic conflicts of her personal life as much as for any thespian achievements on the screen In a time when studios controlled the news that was fed to the media about their valuable "prбкщлщoperties," Taylor's expansive personality and rollercoaster personal life was way too extravagant and exciting to be contained by the spin doctors of Hollywood Издание на английском, немецком, французском языках Иллюстрации Автор Джеймс Урсини James Ursini.

Редактор: Пол Дункан Long before he was Chairman of the Board, Frank Sinatra was a child of the jazz age and its free-wheeling approach to life In the course of a meteoric rise from singing waiter to аьлжаthe world's first pop star, Sinatra relied on his own version of keeping it simple: "I'm not one of those complicated, mixed-up cats I'm not looking for the secret to life or the answer to life I just go on from day to day taking what comes" As an entertaiбкщмгner Sinatra was both a visionary and a pragmatist, a prototype for the 20th century, who realized in the end that "You only live once, and the way I live, once is enough" Иллюстрации Автор Ален Силвер Alain Silver.
