Lines of Attack

Lines of Attack

Duke University Museum of Art,U.S.
2010
pokkari
Lines of Attack raises broad questions about the nature of political caricature by juxtaposing two distinct historical moments in the development of the medium: its emergence in France in the 1830s, as artists including HonorÉ-Victorin Daumier ridiculed King Louis-Philippe, and its recent history during the presidencies of Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. The contributors assess the state of caricature at a moment when traditional outlets for the political cartoonist’s art-particularly the daily newspaper-face an uncertain economic future, and technological change is radically transforming the media landscape that has sustained journalistic caricature for almost two centuries. Along with the cartoons featured in the book (most of which appear in color), the essays illuminate the development of caricature as a journalistic form, its changing visual languages, and its effectiveness in commenting on politics and instigating debate and dissent. Published in connection with the exhibition of the same name at the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University, Lines of Attack features not only the satirical art of Daumier and his contemporaries, but also images by some of the most provocative political cartoonists working in the United States and Great Britain today: artists including Steve Bell, Steve Brodner, Joe Ciardiello, Pat Oliphant, Gerald Scarfe, Edward Sorel, Tom Tomorrow, and Garry Trudeau.ContributorsKatherine ArpenAlexis ClarkAlison Hafera CoxKatherine de Vos DevineNeil McWilliamPublication of the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University

Lines and Cracks

Lines and Cracks

OHWOW

The title of Michael Genovese's exhibition, Lines and Cracks and Zebras and Horses, draws in part on a colloquial aphorism — “when you hear hoof beats behind you, don’t expect to see a zebra” or “when you hear hoof beats, think horses, not zebras” — which typically is understood to evolve from the principle of Occam’s (or Ockham's) razor. Attributed to the 14th century logician and Franciscan friar William of Ockham, the principle states, “Pluralitas non est ponendasine necessitate,” or “Entities should not be multiplied unnecessarily. ” Drawn from disparate, often familiar or banal moments oflines and cracks, the delicate, quiet sculptural interventions reconsider and combine occurrences as varied as a crack inthe artist’s kitchen floor, a damaged mihrab from 12th century Iran, a varicose vein, a line from a CAPTCHA (those computer tests that determine ahuman is using the site, not a machine), the seam line of an Ancient Greek horse head sculpture, and the stress fracture from a brick building in Compton. “Lines and Cracks and Zebras and Horses”: in that grammatical setup, seems to parallel lines with zebras, cracks with horses. Following the logic above, this would suggest that “lines” are the less empirically likely to be the right theory, while “cracks” the better assumption in similar situations. This is a reverse of expectation, combining the common connotations of all these, one would expect to find the zebras in the cracks, and let the horses follow the lines. However, the parallel is notstrictly correct; rather than a comma between the couplets, Genovese connects them with the same conjunction, “and,” making them technically a list of equivalent things. Perhaps lines aren’t the best or shortest ways between objects or places, perhaps they separate rather than connect parts. Perhaps cracks show richness formerly hidden, reveal depth where there was only surface, or function as a suture point that holds things together with true delicacy and vulnerability. Featuring an essay by Shamim Momin.

Lines of Flight - Poems

Lines of Flight - Poems

Catherine Chandler

Able Muse Press
2011
pokkari
"Lines of Flight" is the first full-length collection from Catherine Chandler, an acclaimed American poet of quiet elegance whose simple style belies the range and depth of her poems. She is equally at ease with poems of nature as with those of people, relationships, landscapes and realms the domestic, the foreign, even those scanning the vast unknown of space or the esoterica of science. These poems, carefully crafted with formal dexterity in contemporary idiom, are deployed with precision in a showcase of forms such as the villanelle, sapphic, ballad, pantoum, triolet, nonce, and the sonnet Chandler's specialty, for which she won the Howard Nemerov Sonnet Award.PRAISE FOR "LINES OF FLIGHT" Catherine Chandler's poems I think particularly of the sonnet "Vermont Passage" offer the reader a plain eloquence, a keen eye, and a graceful development of thought. Elsewhere in this fine book, she puts her gifts at the service of wit, as in the little anti-poetic poem "Supernova." "Lines of Flight" is altogether a lively performance. Richard WilburOne of the things that poetry when it's very good does better than anything else is to suggest conflicting things at the same time and confront the reader with the possibility that both may be true. This book, which is extraordinarily good, does that to perfection. Rhina P. Espaillat (from the "Foreword")Catherine Chandler's "Lines of Flight" is a marvelously accomplished first collection. Even to call it a 'first collection' seems somehow misleading; it is a first collection as Housman's A Shropshire Lad was. These are poems that have been long meditated and patiently crafted; they are distillations of experience captured in exquisite measures. There seems to be no form of which Catherine Chandler is not a master, from quatrains and Sapphics to ballads and pantoums. She is an especially brilliant sonneteer. Her formal artistry is not on display for its own sake but is employed with often lacerating effect to probe "the hush/of who I am." These are poems steeped in the sorrows of lucidity. At the same time, she has a subtle eye for landscapes and foreign vistas, from Ushuaia to (even more exotic) Poughkeepsie. As she puts it, "Some things she loves for where they are." Her poems on natural things, particularly those on birds, are alive with the rush of wings. For, though she modestly denies it, she is a poet who can "explicate the texture of the air." Poem after poem offers what she calls "fugitive vignettes" and yet, despite her ironic title, there's nothing fugitive about her verse. These beautiful poems have been made to last. Eric OrmsbyIn "Lines of Flight," we hear an engaging and authoritative new voice. Catherine Chandler displays a dazzling command of poetic forms, writing skillfully in the sonnet, ballad stanza, rondel, villanelle, cento, tercets but to enjoy her work, the reader doesn't have to be a fan of form. A keen observer of the natural world, she can also capture human life in all its harsh crudity (see "Boots" or "To the Man on Mansfield Street"). She writes with drive and force, and yet is able to convey what she calls "the delicate forensics of the heart." Her instrument has many strings. She looks to me like a poet of major promise. X.J. KennedyABOUT THE AUTHOR: Catherine Chandler, an American poet born in New York City and raised in Pennsylvania, completed her graduate studies at McGill University in Montreal, where she has lectured in the Department of Languages and Translation for many years. She is the winner of the Howard Nemerov Sonnet Award. Her poems, interviews, essays and English translations from French and Spanish have been published in numerous journals and anthologies in the USA, the UK, Canada and Australia.

Beware the Starbond. The Evil days have returned. Long foretold in the Kusp-a primeval tome of history and prophecy-Four Blood Scions, champions of the Creator, will awaken to the Starbond's knell. Before the celestial Endstorm, they must merge into one fellowship to prevent Creation's downfall. But when Sonart is wrenched into consciousness only to find himself still locked in a cell, buried deep within a dungeon, he does not trust the divination or the forbidden magic welling inside him. It is a power the dwarven cannot comprehend let alone control. His whole existence in the Cradle has been a tapestry woven in strife and woe, his people clinging to survival in their lost realm. Worse still, the Darkest One has found Sonart out and ensorcelled him with a nefarious spell he is unable to shirk. But as Sonart sets out on his pathless path, an unwilling agent, devolved and attainted, a seed of hope finds him: a solution to his endless torment. He discovers he does not have to tread his dire road alone. Enter Areth, a world beyond imagination, where good and evil forces plot, laying traps within traps as they race to prevent, or bring, about the end of all time. A gripping macabre fantasy for lovers of the classic epic in its purest form.One of the most stirring sagas ever written.

Ignore the Bane at your Peril.Legends may birth of truth, but with time and the tampering of primeval lore, falsehoods rear. And yet, through stranger deviations, the retold chronicles rise to the level of myths. Though the darkest road still lies ahead of the Blood Scions, Areth's four paragons draw ever closer to their merger with one another. Each hearkens to the elven's adage that as long as naocci grows, hope remains. But whilst the Endstorm gathers strength and Creation teeters in the balance, an unforeseen aberration metastasizes. A hyperdemon governed by pure chaos has surfaced to usurp the last war between good and evil. It wields an alien power to tip the scales either way. Still on separate paths, the Four Veins of Fire come to realize that matters are not as they first seemed-that their arcane course may serve as the very conduit to unleash Obliteration. Swords will sing, sacrifices will be made, allegiances will be war-forged and tested, as the ancient battle lines are drawn, writ, and woven in blood, filling the pages of the next spellbinding volume in the Lines of Blood Saga: Book Two: Bane.

He's the only sane soldier on the eternal front, and it's enough to drive him mad.Gole Naremsa is new to the trenches of the Eternal Front. Despite a lifetime of training and a genetic inheritance that makes him a born warrior, it's not what he expects.His problems start on the first day, after a misunderstanding that leaves his new sergeant stunned on the ground. One blindly thrown punch, one minor accident with a noisy corpse, and now he's an example for the rest of the new replacements.It's shaping up to be a race between who will kill Gole first: the increasingly dangerous enemy in the far trenches, or his own unit. At least the enemy isn't rude about it "...Gritty and clever...""...with a dark humor..." Walter Blaire's Lines of Thunder books follow the modern space opera tradition of Iain M. Banks, Vernor Vinge, and Walter Jon Williams. This short novel visits characters from other books, but it can be read as a standalone adventure. (140-page science fiction coming-of-age adventure.)

Lines That Do Not Cross

Lines That Do Not Cross

James Casper

Farhaven Press
2024
pokkari
Lines That Do Not Cross is a collection of James Casper's stories depicting the sometimes painful truth that certain problems people confront in their everyday lives cannot be solved or resolved. This collection asserts that quick fixes, pop psychology, and the support of family and friends will eventually come to the end of a road where lines do not and never will cross. Part tragic, part comic, part depressing, and also inspiring and uplifting, Casper, in these stories, has laid his fingers upon the pulse of the human condition in a world beset by conundrums and weather that cannot be predicted. The reader is invited to enjoy these stories by paging through the collection, considering the titles, and picking and choosing what to read and what not to read at their leisure as all of us alike in our own lives encounter personal lines that do not cross.

Lines of Inquiry in Mathematical Modelling Research in Education

Lines of Inquiry in Mathematical Modelling Research in Education

Jill P Brown; Gloria Ann Stillman

Saint Philip Street Press
2020
pokkari
This open access book is based on selected presentations from Topic Study Group 21: Mathematical Applications and Modelling in the Teaching and Learning of Mathematics at the 13th International Congress on Mathematical Education (ICME 13), held in Hamburg, Germany on July 24-31, 2016. It contributes to the theory, research and teaching practice concerning this key topic by taking into account the importance of relations between mathematics and the real world. Further, the book addresses the "balancing act" between developing students' modelling skills on the one hand, and using modelling to help them learn mathematics on the other, which arises from the integration of modelling into classrooms. The contributions, prepared by authors from 9 countries, reflect the spectrum of international debates on the topic, and the examples presented span schooling from years 1 to 12, teacher education, and teaching modelling at the tertiary level. In addition the book highlights professional learning and development for in-service teachers, particularly in systems where the introduction of modelling into curricula means reassessing how mathematics is taught. Given its scope, the book will appeal to researchers and teacher educators in mathematics education, as well as pre-service teachers and school and university educators This work was published by Saint Philip Street Press pursuant to a Creative Commons license permitting commercial use.
