Filosofia de la moda

Georg Simmel · 2014

"La moda è uno degli scritti più belli di Georg Simmel, forse il suo capolavoro, perché all'interno di una produzione saggistica magistrale si distingue per organicità, chiarezza e compiutezza: affronta un problema specifico, di grande fascino, e giunge a specifiche conclusioni, senza che per questo alcuni temi «classici» generali della filosofia: soggettività ed oggettività, libertà e necessità, essere e divenire, sostanza e funzione, vengano ignorati. Simmel sembra valersi qui dello straordinario vantaggio dell'arte nei confronti della filosofia, di cui parla nell'introduzione alla Filosofia del denaro (1900), e che «consiste nel fatto di porsi ogni volta un unico problema rigorosamente circoscritto, sia questo un uomo, un paesaggio o uno stato d'animo, in modo tale che ogni estensione dello stesso verso il generale, ogni richiamo a tratti più ampi dell'intuizione del mondo venga percepito come un arricchimento, un dono, un beneficio immeritato». Un vantaggio che forse non è solo dell'arte, come Simmel affermava, ma anche della scienza, in questo caso della sociologia." (Lucio Perucchi)<br/>Con uno scritto di György Lukács.

Alexander McQueen

· 2015

This definitive publication on Alexander McQueen invites you into the creative mind and world of one of Britain’s most brilliant, daring, and provocative designers, and the many themes and references that shaped his visionary fashion collections.<br/><br/>“He brought a uniquely British sense of daring and aesthetic fearlessness to the global stage of fashion. In such a short career, Alexander McQueen’s influence was astonishing—from street style, to music culture and the world’s museums.” —Anna Wintour, editor, Vogue magazine<br/><br/>A true comprehensive study, this catalog is the first in-depth look at McQueen and explores key themes of the Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty exhibition—tailoring, gothic, primitivism, naturalism, and futurism. Curated by London College of Fashion lecturer Claire Wilcox, the book also features previously unseen material as well as groundbreaking essays and feature spreads by multiple authors and leading fashion commentators.<br/><br/>This kaleidoscopic approach explores themes central to the designer’s work and his collections: The psychology of fashion Natural history The theater and spectacle of his shows His key creative collaborators And much more! Alexander McQueen also offers an encyclopedic survey of McQueen’s catwalk collections, illustrated with striking images by leading fashion photographers and specially commissioned photographs that capture the breathtaking skill of his designs and awesome theatricality of his shows. More than a coffee table book, this is a representation of one man’s genius, a genius that left the world of fashion all too soon.<br/><br/>For anyone who loved and admired Alexander McQueen and his work, for anyone with a passion for British style, and for those who want to better understand McQueen’s place in the history of fashion, this is a one-of-a-kind illustrated treasure.

Existentialism Is a Humanism

Jean-Paul Sartre · 2007

<DIV><B>A new translation of two seminal works of existentialism</B><BR /><BR /> It was to correct common misconceptions about his thought that Jean-Paul Sartre, the most dominent European intellectual of the post-World War II decades, accepted an invitation to speak on October 29, 1945, at the Club Maintenant in Paris. The unstated objective of his lecture (“Existentialism Is a Humanism”) was to expound his philosophy as a form of “existentialism,” a term much bandied about at the time. Sartre asserted that existentialism was essentially a doctrine for philosophers, though, ironically, he was about to make it accessible to a general audience. The published text of his lecture quickly became one of the bibles of existentialism and made Sartre an international celebrity.<BR /><BR /> The idea of freedom occupies the center of Sartre’s doctrine. Man, born into an empty, godless universe, is nothing to begin with. He creates his essence—his self, his being—through the choices he freely makes (“existence precedes essence”). Were it not for the contingency of his death, he would never end. Choosing to be this or that is to affirm the value of what we choose. In choosing, therefore, we commit not only ourselves but all of mankind. This book presents a new English translation of Sartre’s 1945 lecture and his analysis of Camus’s <I>The Stranger</I>, along with a discussion of these works by acclaimed Sartre biographer Annie Cohen-Solal. This edition is a translation of the 1996 French edition, which includes Arlette Elkaïm-Sartre’s introduction and a Q&A with Sartre about his lecture.</DIV>

The Myth of Sisyphus And Other Essays

Albert Camus · 2012

One of the most influential works of this century, The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays is a crucial exposition of existentialist thought. Influenced by works such as Don Juan and the novels of Kafka, these essays begin with a meditation on suicide; the question of living or not living in a universe devoid of order or meaning. With lyric eloquence, Albert Camus brilliantly posits a way out of despair, reaffirming the value of personal existence, and the possibility of life lived with dignity and authenticity.

Inseparable

Simone de Beauvoir · 2021

Finalist for the French-American Florence Gould Translation Prize A novel by the iconic Simone de Beauvoir of an intense and vivid girlhood friendship that, unpublished in her lifetime, displays “Beauvoir's genius as a fiction writer” (Wall Street Journal)  From the moment Sylvie and Andrée meet in their Parisian day school, they see in each other an accomplice with whom to confront the mysteries of girlhood. For the next ten years, the two are the closest of friends and confidantes as they explore life in a post-World War One France, and as Andrée becomes increasingly reckless and rebellious, edging closer to peril. Sylvie, insightful and observant, sees a France of clashing ideals and religious hypocrisy—and at an early age is determined to form her own opinions. Andrée, a tempestuous dreamer, is inclined to melodrama and romance. Despite their different natures they rely on each other to safeguard their secrets while entering adulthood in a world that did not pay much attention to the wills and desires of young women. Deemed too intimate to publish during Simone de Beauvoir’s life, Inseparable offers fresh insight into the groundbreaking feminist’s own coming-of-age; her transformative, tragic friendship with her childhood friend Zaza Lacoin; and how her youthful relationships shaped her philosophy. Sandra Smith’s vibrant translation of the novel will be long cherished by de Beauvoir devotees and first-time readers alike.

El segundo sexo

Simone de Beauvoir · 2017

" El segundo sexo " no sólo ha nutrido a todo el feminismo que se ha hecho en la segunda mitad del siglo XX, sino que es el ensayo feminista más importante de esa centuria. Todo lo que se ha escrito después en el campo de la teoría feminista ha tenido que contar con esta obra, bien para continuarla en sus planteamientos y seguir desarrollándolos, bien para criticarlos oponiéndose a ellos.<br/>" El segundo sexo " , que es el ensayo de una filósofa existencialista, se encuadra en el ámbito más amplio de un pensamiento ilustrado que toma de la ilustración precisamente sus aspectos positivos, emancipatorios; ante todo, una concepción igualitaria de los seres humanos, según la cual la diferencia de sexos no altera su radical igualdad de condición.<br/>Al mismo tiempo, es un ensayo filosófico que analiza el hecho de la condición femenina en las sociedades occidentales desde múltiples puntos de vista: el científico, el histórico, el psicológico, el sociológico, el ontológico y el cultural. Se trata de un estudio totalizador donde se investiga el porqué de la situación en que se encuentra esa mitad de la humanidad que somos las mujeres.

La casa de los espiritus / The House of the Spirits (Spanish Edition)

Isabel Allende · 2017

La primera novela de Isabel Allende, La casa de los espíritus narra la saga de una poderosa familia de terratenientes latinoamericanos.<br/>El despótico patriarca Esteban Trueba ha construido con mano de hierro un imperio privado que empieza a tambalearse con el paso del tiempo y un entorno social explosivo. Finalmente, la decadencia personal del patriarca arrastrará a los Trueba a una dolorosa desintegración. Atrapados en unas dramáticas relaciones familiares, los personajes de esta poderosa novela encarnan las tensiones sociales y espirituales de una época que abarca gran parte del siglo XX.<br/>Con impecable pulso narrativo y gran lucidez histórica, Isabel Allende ha creado un fresco en el que conviven lo cotidiano con lo maravilloso, el amor con la revolución y los ideales personales con la dura realidad política.<br/><br/>La crítica ha dicho:<br/>«Un logro único, a la vez testimonio personal y posible alegoría del pasado, el presente y el futuro de América Latina.»<br/>The New York Times Book Review<br/>«Una crónica fuerte y absorbente de una familia chilena, con detalles opulentos y con un trasfondo místico... Un refinada combinación de escenarios.»<br/>Kirkus Review<br/>«Hay muy pocos viajes más emocionantes que los realizados en la imaginación de una novelista genial. Esa experiencia está disponible en La Casa de los Espíritus de Isabel Allende...»<br/>Cosmopolitan<br/><br/>ENGLISH DESCRIPTION<br/><br/>“Spectacular...An absorbing and distinguished work...The House of the Spirits with its all-informing, generous, and humane sensibility, is a unique achievement, both personal witness and possible allegory of the past, present, and future of Latin America.” —The New York Times Book Review<br/><br/>The House of the Spirits, the unforgettable first novel that established Isabel Allende as one of the world’s most gifted storytellers, brings to life the triumphs and tragedies of three generations of the Trueba family. The patriarch Esteban is a volatile, proud man whose voracious pursuit of political power is tempered only by his love for his delicate wife Clara, a woman with a mystical connection to the spirit world. When their daughter Blanca embarks on a forbidden love affair in defiance of her implacable father, the result is an unexpected gift to Esteban: his adored granddaughter Alba, a beautiful and strong-willed child who will lead her family and her country into a revolutionary future.<br/>One of the most important novels of the twentieth century, The House of the Spirits is an enthralling epic that spans decades and lives, weaving the personal and the political into a universal story of love, magic, and fate.

The Stranger by Albert Camus

Albert Camus · 2023

With the intrigue of a psychological thriller, The Stranger—Camus's masterpiece—gives us the story of an ordinary man unwittingly drawn into a senseless murder on an Algerian beach. With an Introduction by Peter Dunwoodie; translated by Matthew Ward.<br/><br/>Behind the subterfuge, Camus explores what he termed "the nakedness of man faced with the absurd" and describes the condition of reckless alienation and spiritual exhaustion that characterized so much of twentieth-century life.<br/><br/>“The Stranger is a strikingly modern text and Matthew Ward’s translation will enable readers to appreciate why Camus’s stoical anti-hero and devious narrator remains one of the key expressions of a postwar Western malaise, and one of the cleverest exponents of a literature of ambiguity.” –from the Introduction by Peter Dunwoodie<br/><br/>First published in 1946; now in translation by Matthew Ward.

La campana de cristal

Sylvia Plath · 2022

Una nueva edición de la novela icónica de Sylvia Plath, con traducción inédita de Eugenia Vázquez Nacarino y prólogo de Aixa de la Cruz, que da una nueva lectura en pleno reflujo de la más reciente oleada feminista.<br/>«Respiré profundamente y escuché el antiguo estribillo de mi corazón.<br/>Yo soy, yo soy, yo soy».<br/>Esta es la historia de una chica que tiene todo lo que una joven puede desear en el Nueva York de los años cincuenta: una carrera prometedora, un pretendiente que estudia medicina y toda una vida por delante. Esther Greenwood ha ganado una beca para trabajar en una revista de moda en la gran ciudad y siente que por fin podrá realizar su sueño de ser escritora. Pero entre cócteles, noches de fiesta y pilas de manuscritos descubre una sociedad que repudia las aspiraciones de las mujeres y su vida empieza a desmoronarse. Esther -alter ego de la autora- se encierra en sí misma, como si estuviera atrapada en una campana de cristal: respirando continuamente el mismo aire viciado y sin posibilidad de escapar.<br/><br/>Más de cincuenta años después de su publicación original, La campana de cristal se ha convertido en un clásico moderno, y las palabras de Plath, con la nueva traducción de Eugenia Vázquez Nacarino, conservan todo su impacto. Esta obra icónica, como dice Aixa de la Cruz en el prólogo, «viaja al presente como una corriente eléctrica y nos interpela de tú a tú, sin mediaciones».<br/>La crítica ha dicho...<br/>«Sylvia Plath no es un genio cualquiera, su sombra caliente rodea las gargantas de miles de lectores, de aspirantes a poeta y de adolescentes que quieren ser como ella: hermosa, fuerte, brutal [...]. Plath es un mito, sí. Plath es una musa. Plath es una marca que preside nuestras estanterías.»<br/>Luna Miguel<br/>«La novela en clave dolorosamente gráfica de Sylvia Plath, en la que una mujerlucha por su propia identidad ante la presión social, es un texto esencial en el feminismo angloamericano.»<br/>TheGuardian<br/>«Mantiene su poder después de cinco décadas.»<br/>TheTelegraph<br/>«Sylvia Plath se convirtió para mucha gente en una figura extraliteraria, en una heroína de las contradicciones: alguien que se enfrentó al horror, con el que supo crear algo, pero que también la destruyó.»<br/>The NewYorker<br/>«Esta novela contempla la locura del mundo y el mundo de la locura y nos fuerza a considerar el gran interrogante planteado en toda ficción verdaderamente realista:¿qué es la realidad y cómo podemos enfrentarnos a ella?»<br/>The New York TimesBooksReview

«LLEGÓ LA HORA DE IDEA VILARIÑO: UN CLÁSICO DE LA LITERATURA LATINOAMERICANA» (EL PAÍS)<br/><br/>«Idea Vilariño habla con el corazón en un puño.» —Manuel Vilas<br/><br/>«Carnal y feroz, libérrima pero pulida hasta el fi lo de lo esencial.» —Raquel Garzón, El País<br/><br/>«Forma parte de ese nutrido grupo de escritoras del siglo XX que nos queda por redescubrir.» —Edurne Portela<br/><br/>Aunque la autora ha mantenido a lo largo de su vida una actitud casi monacal con respecto a la difusión de su obra, hoy día está considerada como uno de los clásicos vivos de las letras hispanoamericanas.<br/><br/>Su poesía -escasa y sobria, lentamente madurada- transita siempre por los extremos, tensa, como acorralada por una íntima urgencia. Quizá el asunto que con mayor frecuencia aparece en esta poesía sea la muerte, pero una muerte que late y se experimenta en el esplendor de la vida, en los golpes del amor, en los embates del sexo, en la dialéctica entre ausencia y recuerdo.<br/><br/>La lectura de estos poemas conforma una experiencia intensa y perdurable y supone el descubrimiento de una de las voces más contundentes y secretamente bellas de la poesía contemporánea.<br/><br/>ENGLISH DESCRIPTION<br/><br/>“IDEA VILARIÑO’S TIME HAS COME: A CLASSIC IN LATIN AMERICAN LITERATURE" (EL PAÍS)<br/><br/>Although throughout her life, Vilariño has maintained an almost reclusive attitude regarding the publication of her life’s work, today she is considered one of the living classics of Latin American narrative.<br/><br/>Her poetry -scarce, sober, and slowly matured-always moves through the extremes, tense, as if cornered by a discreet urgency. Perhaps the most frequently recurring theme that appears in her poetry is death, but a death with a beating heart, one that moves about in the splendor of life, in the blows of love, in the onslaught of sex, and in the interaction between absence and memories.<br/><br/>The act of reading these poems exposes readers to an intense and lasting experience and supposes the discovery of one of the most forceful and secretly beautiful voices of contemporary poetry.<br/><br/>“Idea Vilariño speaks by wearing her heart on her sleeve.” -Manuel Vilas<br/><br/>“Carnal and fierce, free but sharp until the edge of what’s essential.” -Raquel Garzon, El Pais<br/><br/>“Vilariño is part of that large group of 20th century writers that we have yet to rediscover.” -Edurne Portela
