Unmapping the City - Perspectives of Flatness

Alfredo Cramerotti

Sinopsis

Unmapping the City, the first title in the new Intellect series ‘Critical Photography’, features photographs shot between 2004 and 2008 in fourteen different cities around the world. The images are linked by their shared attempts to define a two-dimensional approach to a three-dimensional built reality, and to address spatial representation and urbanity through art. In representing the cityscape through a flat texture of lines and minimal colour tones, they draw the reader into a conversation about the interplay between reality and its representation. This volume, by significantly challenging and expanding the discourse on photography and text and instigating a critical re-evaluation of the relationship between photography, perception and the city, will be of interest to artists, curators, photographers, architects, and critical theorists.IntroductionImages by Alfredo Cramerotti and text by Jonathan WillettMiddleword by Inês Moreira

Rock Hard - A Backstage Pass to...

JoZie Di Maria

If there's one woman who rocks harder than anyone it's JoZie DiMaria. Gorgeous, outrageously fit and heavily tattooed, DiMaria has worked as a dancer with - and a trainer for - some of the biggest names in rock music. Having toured with legendary bands like Mötley Crüe, Papa Roach and Jane's Addiction, she has lived a life that most people could only dream of. 
But DiMaria soon found that staying in top shape on the road was tough; performing long shows at packed stadiums late into the night, combined with endless hotel stays, poor nutrition and constant partying was gruelling. So DiMaria decided to take control and develop her own fierce fitness routine so that she could rock hard and train hard at the same time. 
Rock Hard: A Backstage Pass to Staying Fit on the Road the Rockstar Way is both an outstanding fitness guide and a nostalgic behind the scenes account of JoZie DiMaria's incredible life on the road, training rockstars from Tommy Lee (Mötley Crüe) to Billy Morrison (Billy Idol) and Josh Todd (Buckcherry). Her easy to follow routines prove that you can work out anytime, any place - airports, offices, hotels, no excuses! - building a strong and healthy physique, inside and out, while developing a positive approach to body image. Beautiful paintings of her rockstar gym buddies accompany hand-drawn illustrations of work out moves, making it easy and lots of fun to train along with her, DiMaria's Rock Hard is a fitness book worthy of any rock God.

"Before my version begins to fade, 
Let me relieve what happened today. 
Today was not a lifetime of discrimination and shame, 
But of celebration as a black man living in Ukraine." 
- culled from the EPIGRAPH 
A brave and explorative Artisan 
Calm exterior but he was born a warrior 
A Leon not bothered about territory 
A Leon who hunted alone. 
And a Leon who hurt alone. 
With a free prefrontal cortex, he came prepared for learning... 
And learn he did, as his memory campus would get soiled with complex realities. 
In my first anatomy tour, all I saw were dry cadavers, 
But by the end of my tenure, I saw my own fresh blood. 
No tribal marks but you can tell he started out with an Afro. 
And in this foreign soil, explorations were his special dish. 
To-and-fro he evolved... and no, he didn't hail from the safari. 
From a genial ark but he always kept his wits about him. 
And when he stepped out, he was like a fresh aphrodisiac. 
Through his eyes, you could hear all of his favorite tunes. 
Black vanilla at his core as he had a thing for interfacing. 
General with a stylus brush, 
Hankie forever in the back pocket. 
Like his paws, his heart appears four-chambered, 
But on closer inspection, you see a fifth chamber a short distance away from the rest. 
A blind Cub walking in the midst of hyenas, 
With lesions so deep, they suffocated him where it hurt most. 
The pages are filled with art and expression, 
As I relive this once-in-a-lifetime experience... 
Which shaped me into the man I am today.

Horror - A Very Short Introduction

Darryl Jones

Fear is one of the most primal human emotions, and one of the hardest to reason with and dispel. So why do we scare ourselves? It seems almost mad that we would frighten ourselves for fun, and yet there are thousands of books, films, games, and other forms of entertainment designed to do exactly that.Ranging from vampires, ghosts, and werewolves to mad scientists, Satanists, and deranged serial killers, the cathartic release of scaring ourselves has made its appearance in everything from Shakespearean tragedies to internet memes. Exploring the key tropes of the genre, including its monsters, its psychological chills, and its love affair with the macabre, this Very Short Introduction discusses why horror stories disturb us, and how society responds to literary and film representations of the gruesome and taboo.Analyzing the way in which horror has been used throughout history to articulate the fears and taboos of the current generation, Darryl Jones considers the continuing evolution of the genre today. As horror is mass marketed to mainstream society in the form of romantic vampires and blockbuster hits, it also continues to maintain its former shadowy presence on the edges of respectability, as banned films and violent internet phenomena push us to question both our own preconceptions and the terrifying capacity of human nature.
