ISBN: 9781775820796Juta and Company (Pty) Ltd, 01 January 2016Paperback 256 pages Between 2009 and 2012, the Gordon Institute for the Performing and Creative Arts in Cape Town held the Great Texts/Big Questions public lecture series which became a celebrated part of Cape Town's cultural landscape, demonstrating current intellectual and creative thinking in South Africa. These lectures gave audiences a chance to engage with transformative texts and questions, to hear thought leaders speak on the ideas, the books, the art, and the films that matter to them and to us.Relocations: Reading Culture in South Africa brings together a selection of these lectures by world-renowned artists, writers and thinkers in the form of essays, for the benefit of a wider readership, with a contemporary design which plays with words. The authors range from novelists Andre Brink and Imraan Coovadia (one of the collection's editors), to poets Gabeba Baderoon and Rustum Kozain, to artist William Kentridge and social activist Zackie Achmat. The topics are as wide as Don Quixote, Marx and Lincoln, trout fishing, Hamlet, the 19th-century Russian writer Gogol and Nabokov's novel Lolita.Today's readers are increasingly interested in finding new ways to understand and live with great texts and the world of ideas. Books like this demonstrate that thinking about these texts does not have to be an inaccessibly academic pursuit., 0, FINE. Vintage pop culture ephemera.

From the publisher, "A beautifully designed introduction to art history by way of artworks that feature the mousefrom the ancient world to drawings by Picasso, Disney, and Art Spiegelman. Across centuries and civilizations, artists have used the mousethe planet's most common mammal after usto illustrate our myths and beliefs. Mice have appeared as Japanese symbols of good luck or medieval emblems of evil, in Arab fables, Russian political satire and Nazi propaganda, as scientific tools and to help us challenge the way we see nature. With more than 80 rarely reproduced worksincluding paintings by Hieronymus Bosch and Gustav Klimt, a silkscreen by Andy Warhol, a print by Hokusai, a photograph by André Kertész, a sculpture by Claes Oldenburg, a video installation by Bruce Nauman, a performance by Joseph Beuys, and many moreLorna Owen has created an engaging presentation of an extraordinary range. The pieces, which represent every period of visual art, are accompanied by Owen's intriguing text about the story behind each work. She has combined her passion for art and her empathy for the unsung archetype of the animal kingdom to explain not only how or why the artist came to use the mouse as a subject, but how the art, in the end, reveals more about us than it could ever reveal about this humble creature., The Monacelli Press, 2014, 6, New York. 1989.

FROM THE PUBLISHER - Here are the shortest of all of Moacyr Scliar's short stories, over two dozen gems such as ‘Root Canal Treatment,' ‘Atlas,' ‘A Brief History of Capitalism,' ‘Peace and War' ‘Life and Death of a Terrorist,' and ‘Genesis: ' Why not sample Scliar now? Open to any story and read it as you stand here in the book- store. You will have entered the magical country of one of the world's premier storytellers. And after you've read all of THE ENIGMATIC EYE, you'll be able to read the other collections, THE CARNIVAL OF THE ANIMALS and THE BALLAD OF THE FALSE MESSIAH. On publication of THE STRANGE NATION OF RAFAEL MENDES, Alan Ryan noted Scliar's unique character, ‘Scliar's voice is a fresh one, his artistic roots as firmly fixed in Jewish tradition and mythology as they are in Brazil's literary history. Given the breadth and depth of Brazilian artistic life, it is not at all surprising that her latest literary invention - original, fascinating, powerful, compelling and everything good that can be said about a novel - comes from the son of Russian-Jewish immigrants:' inventory #11976 ISBN: 0345359690., 0<
