Summary

The Swiss artist Miriam Cahn (*1949, Basel) deals with political and social themes in oil paintings; charcoal, chalk, and colored and lead pencil drawings; and in photographs, films, and installations. Strong color is characteristic of her work, forming a stark contrast to the recurring motifs of violence, tenderness, war, destruction, and physical infirmity. Her habit of commenting upon her work in writing is a golden thread running throughout Cahn’s career. She illuminates her own art, commenting in the process on art and world events, and she sets up the texts opposite her artworks in exhibitions and publications. 
WRITING IN RAGE is the first compilation of her writing by itself, and includes essays, journal entries, and correspondence with friends, foes, family members, and gallerists. The book provides very personal insights into Cahn’s life, her family, and the art market, introducing the reader to a disputatious, independent spirit.

    “[Allred] interrogates Beyoncé’s music and videos to explore the complicated spaces where racism, sexism, and capitalism collide.” —Kirkus Reviews In 2010, Professor Kevin Allred created the university course “Politicizing Beyoncé” to both wide acclaim and controversy. He outlines his pedagogical philosophy in Ain’t I a Diva?, exploring what it means to build a syllabus around a celebrity. Topics range from a capitalist critique of “Run the World (Girls)” to the politics of self-care found in “Flawless”; Beyoncé’s art is read alongside black feminist thinkers including Kimberlé Crenshaw, Octavia Butler, and Sojourner Truth. Combining analysis with classroom anecdotes, Allred attests that pop culture is so much more than a guilty pleasure, it’s an access point—for education, entertainment, critical inquiry, and politics.“Proving himself a worthy member of the BeyHive, Kevin Allred takes us on a journey through Beyoncé’s greatest hits and expansive career—peeling back their multiple layers to explore gender, race, sexuality, and power in today’s modern world. A fun, engaging, and important read for long-time Beyoncé fans and newcomers alike.” —Franchesca Ramsey, author of Well, That Escalated Quickly“Ain’t I a Diva? explores the phenomenon of Beyoncé while explicitly championing not only her immense talent and grace but what we can learn from it. In this celebration of Beyoncé, and through her, other Black women, Allred is giving us room to be exactly who we are so that maybe we, too, can stop the world then carry on!” —Keah Brown, author of The Pretty One“A must-read for any fan of Beyoncé and of fascinating feminist discourse.” —Zeba Blay, senior culture writer, HuffPost

    As huge and prominent as it appears to us, our planet  and solar system are but small parts of our galaxy, a  massive assembly that spatters the sky with billions of  stars and that extends away from us for tens of thousands  of light years. And this galaxy of ours is in turn  but a small portion of the universe of trillions of other  galaxies that reaches outward for billions of light years,  back to the dawn of time.  This course places our local solar system into the  greater context to show where it all came from and  what its fate may be. We will study our sun and its  interior, learn about stellar red giants, white dwarfs,  neutron stars, and black holes, and encounter the  mysteries of dark matter and dark energy. We explore  the natures of the stars, what different kinds there are,  what makes them shine, how they are born, and how  they die, some with a whimper, others with explosions  that rock the cosmos. We then look to our galaxy of  stars, and then to the great variety of other galaxies, to  their clusters, and to their fiery interactions and collisions.  Finally, we encounter the universe as a whole,  the collection of all there is, which is still expanding  from its Big Bang origin of nearly 14 billion years ago.
