Inessential Colors: Architecture on Paper in Early Modern Europe
by Basile BaudezThe first comprehensive account of how and why architects learned to communicate through colorArchitectural drawings of the Italian Renaissance were largely devoid of color, but from the seventeenth century through the nineteenth, polychromy in architectural representation grew and flourished. Basile Baudez argues that colors appeared on paper when architects adapted the pictorial tools of imitation, cartographers' natural signs, military engineers' conventions, and, finally, painters' affective goals in an attempt to communicate with a broad public.Inessential Colors traces the use of color in European architectural drawings and prints, revealing how this phenomenon reflected the professional anxieties of an emerging professional practice that was simultaneously art and science. Traversing national borders, the book addresses color as a key player in the long history of rivalry and exchange between European traditions in architectural representation and practice.Featuring a wealth of previously unpublished drawings, Inessential Colors challenges the long-standing misreading of architectural drawings as illustrations rather than representations, pointing instead to their inherent qualities as independent objects whose beauty paved the way for the visual system architects use today.

Boys Love Media in Thailand: Celebrity, Fans, and Transnational Asian Queer Popular Culture (Asian Celebrity and Fandom Studies)
by Thomas BaudinetteOver the past several years, the Thai popular culture landscape has radically transformed due to the emergence of “Boys Love” (BL) soap operas which celebrate the love between handsome young men. Boys Love Media in Thailand: Celebrity, Fans, and Transnational Asian Queer Popular Culture is the first book length study of this increasingly significant transnational pop culture phenomenon. Drawing upon six years of ethnographic research, the book reveals BL's impacts on depictions of same-sex desire in Thai media culture and the resultant mainstreaming of queer romance through new forms of celebrity and participatory fandom. The author explores how the rise of BL has transformed contemporary Thai consumer culture, leading to heterosexual female fans of male celebrities who perform homoeroticism becoming the main audience to whom Thai pop culture is geared. Through the case study of BL, this book thus also investigates how Thai media is responding to broader regional trends across Asia where the economic potentials of female and queer fans are becoming increasingly important. Baudinette ultimately argues that the center of queer cultural production in Asia has shifted from Japan to Thailand, investigating both the growing international fandom of Thailand's BL series as well as the influence of international investment into the development of these media. The book particularly focuses on specific case studies of the fandom for Thai BL celebrity couples in Thailand, China, the Philippines, and Japan to explore how BL series have transformed each of these national contexts' queer consumer cultures.

Eighteenth-Century Engravings and Visual History in Britain (British Art: Histories and Interpretations since 1700)
by Isabelle BaudinoExtending the scholarly discussion of visual history, this book examines eighteenth-century engraved book illustrations in order to outline the genealogy of the modern visualisation of the past in Britain. This study is based on a body of more than a hundred engraved historical plates designed in the second half of the eighteenth century in Britain and published in more than a dozen pictorial histories. Focusing on these previously unstudied engravings, this work contributes to the study of eighteenth-century visual culture and is informed by current interdisciplinary approaches at the intersection of visual and book studies. Eighteenth-Century Engravings and Visual History in Britain is about the urge to envision the past and about the establishment of the new relationship between visual media, visuality, and history in eighteenth-century Britain. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, British history, book studies, and visual culture.

Interpreting Site: Studies in Perception, Representation, and Design
by Genevieve S. BaudoinInterpreting Site explains the basic methods architects use to translate what you perceive to represent the complex conditions that physically and mentally "construe" a site, helping to shape the ultimate design. Within each of the four themes---defining site, experiencing site, spatializing site, and systematizing site--- theoretical, conceptual, and analytic methods and representational tools are introduced to give you a foundation to develop your own approach to the conditions of a site. Author Genevieve S. Baudoin examines longstanding representation methods in relation to emerging and experimental methods, offering an idiosyncratic and provocative look at different approaches. Four highly illustrated full colour case studies of key contemporary projects in Spain, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Norway demonstrate how architects have used conditions discovered on a site in their final design.

The Occult in Modernist Art, Literature, and Cinema (Palgrave Studies in New Religions and Alternative Spiritualities)
by Tessel M. Bauduin Henrik JohnssonMany modernist and avant-garde artists and authors were fascinated by the occult movements of their day. This volume explores how Occultism came to shape modernist art, literature, and film. Individual chapters examine the presence and role of Occultism in the work of such modernist luminaries as Rainer Maria Rilke, August Strindberg, W.B. Yeats, Joséphin Péladan and the artist Jan Švankmaier, as well as in avant-garde film, post-war Greek Surrealism, and Scandinavian Retrogardism. Combining the theoretical and methodological foundations of the field of Esotericism Studies with those of Literary Studies, Art History, and Cinema Studies, this volume provides in-depth and nuanced perspectives upon the relationship between Occultism and Modernism in the Western arts from the nineteenth century to the present day.

Alterknit Rebellion: Radical patterns for creative knitters
by Anna BauerA collection of bright, bold and beautiful knitting patterns based on Honsestrikk, a Danish knitting movement from the 1970s which broke away from traditional knitting rules. Honsestrikk, which loosely translates as 'chicken stitch' was influenced by the radical social and political movements of the time, including the women's rights movement, and this can be seen in the personal and political messages of the some of the pattern designs. Instead of the more traditional fair isle colourwork techniques, Honsestrikk knitting featured political messages and motifs, colours clashed and borders butted up against each other in a riot of colour and pattern. Honsestrikk is about knitting in a freer style so you have the freedom to express yourself and create truly unique, personalized garments and accessories. Designer Anna Bauer has been inspired by the Honsestrikk movement to create this collection of basic designs and patterns so you can choose your own combinations and create and knit your own free, radical knits.
Screenwriting Fundamentals: The Art and Craft of Visual Writing
by Irv BauerScreenwriting Fundamentals: The Art and Craft of Visual Writing takes a step-by-step approach to screenwriting, starting with a blank page and working through each element of the craft. Written in an approachable anecdote-infused style that’s full of humor, Bauer shows the writer how to put the pieces together, taking the process of screenwriting out of the cerebral and on to the page. Part One of the book covers character, location, time-frame and dialogue, emphasizing the particularity in writing for a visual medium. Part Two of the book focuses on the narrative aspect of screenwriting. Proceeding incrementally from the idea and story outline, through plotting and writing the treatment, the workshop-in-a-book concludes with writing the First Draft. A unique emphasis on the visual elements of storytelling because the camera is always present—the screenplay must act as a guide for the director and the editor. A "workshop in a book" approach that walks the reader step-by-step through a screenplay—focusing on character, location, time frame, visual components, and transitions—with plenty of exercises that generate material for the narrative writing process. A process-oriented approach, combined with a lighthearted tone and approachable style, that allows the reader to ease into the daunting task of writing a First Draft and takes them all the way through to the end— First Draft in hand.

Künste dekolonisieren: Ästhetische Praktiken des Lernens und Verlernens (Wissen der Künste #2)
by Julian Sverre Bauer Maja Figge Lisa Großmann Wilma LukatschDe- und postkoloniale ästhetische Praktiken haben als Interventionen das Kunstfeld nachhaltig verändert und einen wichtigen Beitrag zu postkolonialer Kritik und dekolonialer Theorie-Praxis geleistet. Sie haben Gegen-Narrative und Methoden der Erinnerung entworfen und für die Sicht- und Lesbarkeit hegemonialer Strukturen sensibilisiert. Dennoch ist angesichts der fortgesetzten epistemischen Gewalt die Dekolonisierung der Künste ein unabgeschlossener und umkämpfter Prozess. Die Beiträger*innen des Bandes fokussieren gegenwärtige künstlerische, ästhetische und epistemische Praktiken des Lernens und Verlernens und fragen nach den Konsequenzen dieser Wissenspraktiken für die Kunst- und Kulturwissenschaften, für die Institutionen der Kunst und für die Frage der Vermittlung von Kunst.
Hollywood Heroines: The Most Influential Women in Film History
by Laura L. S. BauerThis is a topical resource that provides a comprehensive look at the most influential women in Hollywood cinema across a wide-range of occupations rarely found together in a single volume.Unlike other anthologies, Hollywood Heroines: The Most Influential Women in Film History is a hybrid of film history and industry information with an exclusive focus on prominent women. This reference work includes more commonly discussed categories of important women in Hollywood film history, such as directors and actresses, and reaches beyond them to encompass women working as cinematographers, casting directors, studio heads, musical composers, and visual and special effects supervisors. The wide range of filmmaking crafts covered in the book provides an acute view of the industry and increases the visibility of and quality of representation for women working in Hollywood. By bringing the experience of these influential women to light, Hollywood Heroines joins a growing movement that endeavors to dismantle harmful, long-standing industry myths that perpetuate the systemic underrepresentation of women and the devaluation of women's stories in the Hollywood film industry.
Neue Welten - Star Trek als humanistische Utopie?
by Michael C. BauerAm 8. September 1966 schrieb die NBC Fernsehgeschichte: An diesem Tag strahlte der US-amerikanische Fernsehsender die erste Folge einer neuen Science-Fiction-Serie aus, mit einer Geschichte über eine außerirdische Lebensform, die Salz zum Überleben braucht und aus Verzweiflung mehrere Mannschaftsmitglieder des Raumschiffes Enterprise ermordet. So recht ahnte bei NBC wohl niemand, dass in diesen 50 Minuten der Grundstein für ein ungeheuer erfolgreiches Science-Fiction-Franchise gelegt wurde: Star Trek. Allein der 50. Geburtstag von Star Trek wäre schon Grund genug gewesen, der Serie eine wissenschaftliche Tagung zu widmen. Noch dazu kommt: Ihrem Erfinder Gene Roddenberry wird nachgesagt, „seine“ Serie nach seinen eigenen humanistischen Überzeugungen geformt, im Star Trek-Universum mithin eine humanistische Utopie verwirklicht zu haben. Aber stimmt das? Ist die Zukunftsvision von Star Trek eine, in der alle humanistischen Ideale erfüllt sind? Eine Welt, in der friedliche Kooperation und die freie Entfaltung aller Individuen die (oft genug auch mörderische) Konkurrenz hinter sich gelassen haben? Diesen und vielen weiteren spannenden Fragen rund um Star Trek gingen die Gäste einer hochkarätigen, interdisziplinären Tagung vom 15. bis 17. April 2016 in Nürnberg nach. Eingeladen hatte der Humanistische Verband Bayern. Der vorliegende Band dokumentiert die Beiträge.
Green Building: Guidebook for Sustainable Architecture
by Michael Bauer Peter Mösle Michael SchwarzAn important consideration for energy-efficient buildings is their primary energy requirements over the entire life cycle. How to determine this? What integrative factors influence the performance of a healthy and sustainable building? This, while it may be important for clients and architects to know, is frequently not very transparent.This book has been written to assist with clarifying target criteria and expanding horizons when it comes to ecological buildings. It is meant as a handbook and source of reference for clients, architects, planners and building operators, to provide them with pertinent information about their design, construction and operation: how to do this in the most energy-efficient and economical manner?Also, there is feedback and documentation about prominent buildings like the Hamburg Dockland or the Landesbank Baden-Wuerttemberg in Stuttgart. They provide excellent architectural examples for detailed construction and design solutions. Further, there are insightful interviews with architects and clients about many important buildings, which help turn this book into an integrated source of reference for sustainable architecture. - A Guideline for Planning, Construction and Operation of sustainable Buildings- A source of reference for clients, architects, planners and building operators- Innovative architectural examples with sustainable concepts and design
Green Building: Leitfaden für nachhaltiges Bauen
by Michael Bauer Peter Mösle Michael SchwarzDer bewährte Leitfaden für das Planen, Bauen und Betreiben von nachhaltigen Gebäuden jetzt in der zweiten AuflageEnergieeffizientes und nachhaltiges Bauen ist heute zur Pflichtaufgabe für Bauherren, Architekten und Planer geworden. Ganzheitliches Wissen zu effizientem Wärmeschutz, innovativen Fassaden, bedarfsgerechten Raumklimasystemen, nachhaltigen Materialien und energie- und ressourcensparenden Energieerzeugungssytemen und Konstruktionen wird erwartet, obwohl am Markt immer noch eher sequentiell und nicht integral gedacht und geplant wird.

»Moderne Kunst« in Taiwan: Betrachtung eines Topos im Kontext der Globalisierung des Kunstdiskurses (Image #178)
by Lisa Bauer-ZhaoWas ist »moderne Kunst«? Aus der Perspektive des taiwanischen Kunstdiskurses gestellt, macht diese Frage Diskrepanzen in der Erzählung der Kunstgeschichte der Moderne sichtbar, die von Europa aus weitestgehend unbeachtet bleiben. Anhand von taiwanischen kunstkritischen Texten seit den 1950er Jahren - die hier das erste Mal in deutscher Übersetzung vorgelegt werden - analysiert Lisa Bauer-Zhao das Verständnis von moderner Kunst, dessen Veränderung sowie die zugehörige Begriffsgeschichte in Taiwan. Im Kontext der Globalisierung der Kunstwelt beleuchtet sie die aufscheinenden Problemfelder und eröffnet eine globale Perspektive auf die Diskussion um moderne Kunst.
