Sinossi

Marble in Art explores why marble became the quintessential material for sculptors during the Classical and Renaissance periods. The book illuminates the geological properties of marble, such as the prized Pentelic and Carrara types, and their impact on artistic production. Also, it delves into how sculpting techniques evolved from early Greek kouroi to Michelangelo's masterpieces. The book uniquely examines the interplay of resource availability, technological advancements, patronage, and cultural values that elevated marble's status. It progresses by detailing marble's geological origins, then moves to the evolution of sculpting techniques and historical developments, and culminates with the socio-economic contexts supporting marble sculpture. This approach challenges the isolation of artistic choices, emphasizing socio-economic and material conditions.

Jung and Active Imagination with...

James Hillman

James Hillman is the father of Archetypal Psychology. This rare program focuses on Education, Imagination and Myth with James Hillman. 
 
The emergence of C.G. Jung’s Red Book from years of storage in a Swiss vault has re-kindled interest in active imagination. This method of self-exploration involves actively engaging one’s own imagination in dialogue, through writing, art, or the spoken word. 
 
In this 2.5 -hour streaming video program, James Hillman —noted author, psychologist, and the first Director of Studies at the Jung Institute in Zurich — introduces the method and delves deeply into the therapeutic value it offers in an increasingly noisy and demanding world. 
 
Hillman considers the history and theory of active imagination in Jung, its relationship to making art, and offers examples for scrutiny and discussion. He discusses the fear of inviting demons and opening wounds, and addresses the difference between the voices of inner figures and auditory hallucinations. 
 
The major re-examination of Jung’s original ideas and inspiration doesn’t stop there, though. Hillman goes on to examine the role of imagination in contemporary culture, and whether imagination itself might need re-imagining. 
 
Hillman’s seminar was taped December 9, 2009, in California.

Mel Brooks - Disobedient Jew

Jeremy Dauber

A spirited dive into the life and career of a performer, writer, and director who dominated twentieth-century American comedy 
 
 
  
Mel Brooks, born Melvin Kaminsky in Brooklyn in 1926, is one of the great comic voices of the twentieth century. Having won almost every entertainment award there is, Brooks has straddled the line between outsider and insider, obedient and rebellious, throughout his career, making out-of-bounds comedy the American mainstream. 
 
 
  
Jeremy Dauber argues that throughout Brooks's extensive body of work—from Your Show of Shows to Blazing Saddles to Young Frankenstein to Spaceballs—the comedian has seen the most success when he found a balance between his unflagging, subversive, manic energy and the constraints imposed by comedic partners, the Hollywood system, and American cultural mores. Dauber also explores how Brooks's American Jewish humor went from being solely for niche audiences to an essential part of the American mainstream, paving the way for generations of Jewish (and other) comedians to come.
