Highlighted Features
il costume di casaQuesto libro è stato scritto all’inizio degli anni ’70 ma gli eventi e le opinioni di cui parla mantengono un interesse del tutto attuale. Il telegiornale, i discorsi dei politici, la sentenza Braibanti, i testi degli autori a proprie spese, il linguaggio pubblicitario, i miti della persuasione di massa, il sottobosco della stampa devozionale, i feticci artistici, il Kitsch quotidiano, l’industria della cultura di destra, il fumetto fascista, le follie del militarismo, l’ipocrisia moderata, lo squallore dell’etica e dell’estetica piccolo-borghese, le illusioni degli intellettuali, la presenza della contestazione giovanile, la tolleranza repressiva, la repressione tollerante e le repressioni selvagge, l’Italia degli anni ’60 nelle pieghe del suo costume quotidiano e nei richiami alle tare intemporali dell’Italia di sempre, questi e cento altri aspetti della nostra quotidianità vista in controluce costituiscono l’oggetto di quella curiosità scettica e dissacratoria con cui Umberto Eco ha condotto il suo discorso “militante” sulle colonne dell’“Espresso”, in particolare, e di altre riviste o giornali.

On Weaving: New Expanded Edition
Highlighted Features
The classic book on the art and history of weaving―now expanded and in full colorWritten by one of the twentieth century’s leading textile artists, this splendidly illustrated book is a luminous meditation on the art of weaving, its history, its tools and techniques, and its implications for modern design. First published in 1965, On Weaving bridges the transition between handcraft and the machine-made, highlighting the essential importance of material awareness and the creative leaps that can occur when design problems are tackled by hand.With her focus on materials and handlooms, Anni Albers discusses how technology and mass production place limits on creativity and problem solving, and makes the case for a renewed embrace of human ingenuity that is particularly important today. Her lucid and engaging prose is illustrated with a wealth of rare and extraordinary images showing the history of the medium, from hand-drawn diagrams and close-ups of pre-Columbian textiles to material studies with corn, paper, and the typewriter, as well as illuminating examples of her own work.Now available for a new generation of readers, this expanded edition of On Weaving updates the book’s original black-and-white illustrations with full-color photos, and features an afterword by Nicholas Fox Weber and essays by Manuel Cirauqui and T’ai Smith that shed critical light on Albers and her career.
