"Samplers reflected female education in the south and how those views changed over time. The majority of samplers documented by Jennifer Core and Janet Hasson are from the 1830s through the 1850s and feature a signature band including the maker's name and the date of completion. They reflect Tennessee's three grand divisions as well. For instance, the samplers of East Tennessee bear a striking resemblance to Virginia's samplers while West Tennessee's samplers are fewer in number and vary in size and format, reflecting the less settled region. Core and Hasson argue that this snapshot of Tennessee as seen through girl's education and craft informs our understanding of women's history prior to the Civil War as, after all, if an unmarried woman died prior to 1850, her sampler may have been the only proof of her existence"--

The writing of cinema history would not be possible without the contribution of collectors. Whether through their pioneering excavation work or their passionate defence of forgotten productions and artifacts, collectors have had a lasting influence on both the field and the methods of moving image history. Proceeding from a renewed dialogue between international film scholars, collectors, filmmakers, curators, and archivists, this book aims to reveal the extent to which collectors and collections have contributed to both the history and the epistemology of moving images. It showcases specific studies of collecting practices, as well as in-depth interviews with collectors and artists bringing to light the innumerable articulations between collecting cinema and the rewriting of film history.

Premodern archives from the Middle East show rich and diverse homoerotic worlds that were disrupted by the colonial imposition of Western models of sexuality. Andrew Gayed traces how contemporary Arab and Middle Eastern diasporic artists have remembered and reinvented these historical ways of being in their work in order to imagine a different present. Building on global art histories and transnational queer theory, Queer World Making illuminates contemporary understandings of queer sexuality in the Middle Eastern diaspora. The author focuses on the visual works of artists who create political art about queer identity, including Jamil Hellu, Ebrin Bagheri, 2Fik, Laurence Rasti, Nilbar Gèures, and Alireza Shojaian. 0Through engaging with these artists, Gayed is seeking to articulate a Western and non-Western modernity that works beyond the dichotomy of sexual oppression, stereotypically associated with the Middle East, versus sexual acceptance, attributed to North American norms. Instead, Gayed traces how diasporic subjects create coming-out narratives and identities that provide alternatives to inscribed Western models. Queer World Making reframes Arab homosexualities in terms of desire and alternative gender norms rather than through Western notions of visibility and coming out, narratives that are not conducive to understanding how queer Arabs living in the West experience their sexuality.

As seen on 60 Minutes with Anderson Cooper and in the Emmy-award-winning New York Times documentary, the gripping true story of a Jewish teenager who became "The Forger of Paris" for the French Resistance.&nbsp;The Forger of Paris&nbsp;presents Adolfo Kaminsky’s biography in its only authorized edition, expanded with photographs from Kaminsky's 2019 exhibition at the Museum of Jewish Art and History in Paris and accompanied by essays from MAHJ director Paul Salmona and National Jewish Book Award winner Deborah Dash Moore."This necessary book provides unforgettable insights into hidden worlds of the Jews, intellectuals, and partisans who fought back.... has a thriller dimension that outshines even the best undercover fiction." —Jewish Book CouncilAt seventeen, Adolfo Kaminsky had narrowly escaped deportation to Auschwitz and was recruited to join the Jewish underground. Due to his expert knowledge of dyes and an artistic, technical ability to reproduce official documents, he soon became the primary forger for the Resistance in Paris, creating papers that would save an estimated 14,000 Jewish men, women, and children from certain death. Upon the Liberation and for the next twenty-five years, Kaminsky worked as a professional photographer. But, recognizing the fight for freedom had not ended with the defeat of the Nazis, and driven by his own harrowing experiences, he continued to forge documents in secret for activists, refugees, human rights causes, and pacifists throughout the world."At a moment when someone’s passport, or religion, can still mean the difference between life and death, Mr. Kaminsky’s story remains painfully relevant, but inspiring." —Filmmakers Samantha Stark, Alexandra Garcia and Pamela Druckerman for The New York Times"A triumphant wartime biography, full of heroism and near-alchemistic craftiness."&nbsp;—Foreword Reviews

The "Brawn of Your Brand" is a book developed to get readers excited about branding! Branding has become such a buzz word these days that it drums up as much confusion as it does attention. Everyone knows that branding is important. Every professional, leader, business owner, influencer, and any other person seeking to make successful strides in their fields of endeavor realizes they must possess strong brands. However, branding is a very complicated activity. It is often very unsettling just figuring out exactly where to start with any branding effort, whether it's a personal branding effort or a business branding effort. Then, once that start is identified, there are a million more things to do. If we're not careful, we can easily get swept away, engaged in misguided branding efforts, incongruent with our personal desires and essence. This book is developed to assist readers with finding a solid baseline for their difficult branding challenges. It is meant to be an enabler for readers to focus on placing their authentic selves at the center of every brand they create. This book is a breath of fresh air for its readers. It contains viewpoints about branding that encourage readers to appreciate the power of branding. It further acknowledges the ability of every reader to search inside themselves to find their own personal truths, which should be embedded in their personal and business brands. Because branding is a very difficult task, this book contains insights describing how the writer, Daymond The Brand, CLC, faced his own stressful hardships with branding. The reader will come to understand how his woes were overcome by his commitment to getting clear with himself to subsequently brand with joy. Ultimately, "The Brawn of Your Brand" is created to help readers get in touch with joyfully branding themselves and their businesses, while operating with clear intentions to experience life changing consequences.

The Brawn of Your Brand

The legendary French filmmaker's labyrinthine memoir, first published by Exact Change in 2002 as a CD-ROM, now reconfigured into book form after a laborious process initiated by the artist before his death in 2012Filmmaker, photographer and writer Chris Marker never adhered to the conventions of a particular art form. Each of his films, from La Jetée to Sans Soleil, pushes the boundaries of its medium, merging at times with the essay, political manifesto, personal letter, art installation and even, finally, a computer game. For Immemory, first published in 1998 (French) and 2002 (English), Marker used a CD-ROM to create a multi-layered, mixed-media memoir. The reader investigates ""zones"" of travel, war, cinema and poetry, navigating through image and text as if physically exploring Marker's memory itself. The result is a veritable 21st-century Remembrance of Things Past, an exploration of the state of memory in our era. With it, Marker both invented a literary form and perfected it, just before the digital format he chose for the experiment was quickly rendered obsolete. Immemory: Gutenberg Version reinvents this unique work for the printed page, a project the author dreamed up, titled, and began working on with Exact Change before his death. Now finally realized, it brings this seminal work into the present and future through a time-tested, durable format of the past: the book. Chris Marker (1921-2012) served in the French Resistance, and then the US Air Force, during World War II and worked as a journalist while honing his film career. He received international acclaim with La Jetée in 1962, and became a critical voice in film theory and production as well as a widely admired "cult" artist, a filmmaker's filmmaker.

A leading scholar of the Russian avant-garde reevaluates its most iconic artistKazimir Malewicz (Malevich; 1879-1935) is undoubtedly one of the most significant artists of the 20th century, famed for his Suprematist works such as the so-called "Black Square" and White on White. Incredibly, his art only received its due in the West in the late 1950s; three more decades passed before it could be accessible to the Russian public. In this critical study, Andrei Nakov dissembles some foundational myths about the artist's ethnic background, such as his Polish origins (hence the rendering of the artist's name here as "Malewicz"), his affinity for the religious iconography of Russia and his place in modern European art. The artist's concept of Suprematist forms is central to Nakov's study, which interrogates certain anti-modernist visual and cultural prejudices. Andrei Nakov (born 1941) has published numerous theoretical studies, monographs and exhibition catalogs on the Russian avant-garde, Futurism, Dada, Constructivism, contemporary art and European abstract art.
