An exhibition presented as part of the City of Albuquerque's Tricentennial celebration. For the Hispanic settlers of 19th century New Mexico, weaving was an important part of everyday life. Featured are thirty-seven of the Museum's most notable examples of Hispanic weavings including jergas, colchas and frazadas. Although originally made to serve a utilitarian function, these works reveal the artistic vision and attention to detail that characterizes fine craftsmanship. Includes a review of the historic collection by noted contemporary New Mexico weavers Irvin and Lisa Trujillo. Technical data for each weaving includes fiber and dye analysis. Additional discussion of looms, dyes, sheep industry, and tourism.

This book is the first to feature the work of the Brazilian photographer Alair de Oliveira Gomes (1921-1992). A philosopher, art critic, and university professor, he was in his fifties when he began to develop a body of photographic work that focused almost exclusively on athletic young men on the beach at Rio de Janeiro. This tireless collector of books, pictures, and films transformed the thousands of pages of his diaries into an immense erotic tableau of black-and-white photographs devoted to the beauty of the male physique. Photographs covertly taken on the beach, or with a telephoto zoom lens from the window of his apartment, were extensively reworked and ordered in carefully constructed sequences. This group of photographs, now preserved at the National Library of Rio, constitutes one of the most original photographic works of the last thirty years. 150 illustrations.

In 1706, Spanish colonists founded the Villa de Alburquerque on the wooded banks of the Rio Grande. Three hundred years later, that once quiet farming community has grown to become Albuquerque, the largest city in the state of New Mexico. Over the centuries, this fascinating city’s identity has metamorphosed many times. In 1862, it briefly became the western capital of the Confederate States of America, before Confederate hopes for the territory were destroyed at the Battle of Glorieta Pass. In 1880, the Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railroad brought industry and wealth from the east, as well as tuberculosis-infected “lungers” who came by the thousands to seek a cure in “the Heart of Health Country.” Then, in 1926, Route 66 transformed the city into a neon-decked oasis for automobile travelers journeying through the newly accessible West. Though many of these identities have faded, their legacy lives on in the beating heart of an ever-changing city.

When the Portuguese seafarer Afonso de Albuquerque conquered the bustling port of Malacca in 1511, he effectively gained control of the entire South China Sea spice trade. Although their dominance lasted only 130 years, the Portuguese legacy lies at the heart of a burgeoning tourist attraction on the outskirts of the city, in which performers who believe they are the descendants of swashbuckling Portuguese conquerors encapsulate their "history" in a cultural stage show. Using historical and ethnographic data, Margaret Sarkissian reveals that this music and dance draws on an eclectic array of influences that span the Portuguese diaspora (one song conjures up images of Lucille Ball impersonating Carmen Miranda on "I Love Lucy"). Ironically, she shows, what began as a literate tradition in the 1950s has now become an oral one so deeply rooted in Settlement life that the younger generation, like the tourists, now see it as an unbroken heritage stretching back almost 500 years. A fascinating case of "orientalism in reverse," D'Albuquerque's Children illuminates the creative ways in which one community has adapted to life in a postcolonial world.

Updated February 2019. Camino Easy is a stress-free mature (over 50) walker's guide to the Camino de Santiago, French Way. This is a "starter kit" and handbook for planning your Camino adventure with a focus on keeping it simple and stress-free.- Please note that this is NOT a detailed guide to the Camino, not by a long shot. There are other excellent guides which provide a high level of detail for every section, route, and village. Camino Easy's goal is to help individuals who have not taken this sort of trek in the past and have a number of fundamental issues and concerns. When hiking the Camino for the first time, the author found that the detailed guidebooks were wonderful once the trip had started, but these books often lacked the basic guidance needed in planning the walk for the first time.- DO consider acquiring Camino Easy if you are walking some or all of the French Way for the first time, are a mature individual, and are curious about the options available to you. - DO NOT purchase this book if you have hiked the Camino previously or have taken other similar hikes as this book will not provide additional help.- Most Camino guides strive to provide comprehensive details on every aspect, Camino Easy focuses on what you really need for your first Camino. This is a straight-forward guide to when to go, where to hike, what to take, and what supporting services to work with. The book's mantra and goal for you are "Have fun. Have an adventure. Don't kill yourself."

Dando inicio a renovacao da identidade visual das obras de Dias Gomes, a Bertrand Brasil relanca O pagador de promessas, um dos principais livros de sua carreira. Titulo de enorme sucesso no Brasil e no mundo, serviu de tema ao filme do mesmo titulo, ganhador da Palma de Ouro do Festival de Cannes de 1962.Nesta peca de renome internacional, o autor narra o emocionante calvario do simplorio Ze-do-Burro: para cumprir promessa feita a Iansa, pela cura de seu burro, ele divide seu sitio com os lavradores pobres e carrega pesada cruz de madeira no percurso de sessenta leguas, com o objetivo de deposita-la no interior da igreja de Santa Barbara, em Salvador.O poeta Ferreira Gullar assina as orelhas: Pois bem. Acabo de reler O pagador de promessas. Nao vou anunciar aqui o poder de permanencia dessa peca teatral, consagrada pela critica e pelo publico, dentro e fora do Brasil. Mas a verdade e que toda consagracao esta sujeita a revisao, e poderia acontecer que... Nao aconteceu. Pelo contrario, essa nova leitura de O pagador de promessas nao apenas veio reafirmar o meu juizo sobre ela, como convenceu-me de que se trata de uma das mais significativas criacoes da dramaturgia brasileira.Ao contrario do que acontece com muitas obras teatrais de qualidade, que se iniciam com impeto e as vezes o mantem ate certa altura para nos frustrar no final, esta peca de Dias Gomes e um todo completo e acabado: o seu final nao resulta em frustracao, mas em plenitude. E para isso e preciso que se reunam, na realizacao da obra, aqueles fatores imponderaveis que dao nascimento a verdadeira obra de arte.

Cette histoire des États-Unis présente le point de vue de ceux dont les manuels d’histoire parlent habituellement peu.

Ce livre est né du désir très ancien de Raymond Depardon de photographier la France, avec vérité, en guettant les traces de l’homme sur le territoire, un peu à la manière dont le photographe Walker Evans, admiré de Raymond Depardon, a photographié les États-Unis au début du XXe siècle.Les photographies sont prises, comme au tout début de l’histoire de cet art, à l’aide d’une chambre posée sur un pied, contrainte qui a aidé l’artiste à ne faire qu’« une » photographie de chaque lieu, à assumer l’angle de vue, à voir frontalement. Raymond Depardon a visité presque toutes les régions de France, dans un fourgon aménagé. Il s’est totalement imprégné des lieux. Il s’est concentré sur les sous-préfectures ― un espace jusque-là fui par l’artiste, désormais saisi du désir de le comprendre, afin de voir quelle était la relation de l’homme à son espace de vie.L’album regroupe trois cent photographies en couleurs, grand format. Il est assorti d’une préface de Raymond Depardon. C’est la France réelle. Le livre est coédité avec la BNF. Les photographies y feront l’objet d’une grande exposition.
