The Perfect Spectator
26,50 € c/ IVA
What happens between a spectator and a work of art at the moment of encounter? How do we experience ‘meaning’ (significance) in an art work? How can the process of interpretation be understood and articulated? To address these questions, the author explores the field of reception aesthetics, with its central premise that the contemplation of art is a matter of interaction between art work and observer. The research is focused on unravelling and problematizing the theoretical terminology of the interaction between work of art and spectator, deriving from reception aesthetics as well as from hermeneutics and phenomenology, with the aim of building a new theoretical foundation for this terminology. Additionally, different concepts of the spectator are discussed extensively. Wesseling proceeds from her own personal encounters with art objects, and her professional experience in studying and writing about art, in order to arrive at a new theoretical framework for the contemplation of art works.
Janneke Wesseling is an art critic and director of PhDArts, international doctorate programme in visual art and design, at Leiden University, where she was appointed Professor in the Practice and Theory of Research in the Visual Arts, Faculty of Humanities, Leiden University.

The Poetics of Action
O preço original era: 25,00 €.22,50 €O preço atual é: 22,50 €. c/ IVA
Fernando Aguiar desenvolve, levando ao seu extremo, a tentativa de transversalidade que instaura a poesia visual. Este artista procura articular as diversas disciplinas artísticas, que ele utiliza, de modo a construir uma obra de referencialidade e relacionamentos variáveis.
Há nessa estratégia uma intenção de iluminar e de iluminar-se, quer dizer, por um lado existe a pesquisa própria da disciplina plástica que envolve factores formais e de conteúdos relacionados directamente com as questões da técnica, da produção, dos materiais, dos instrumentos e das consequências desses elementos quando colocados num canal de comunicação. Noutras palavras, com as problemáticas que têm a ver com o saber disciplinar e o poder que esse saber implica.

The Portuguese Carnation Revolution – Historical Essay
22,00 € c/ IVA
From the pen of Medeiros Ferreira—who, having returned from exile shortly after the Revolution, played an important role in opening up Portugal’s young democracy to Europe and the world, later establishing himself as one of the most brilliant contemporary history academics of his generation—his historical essay on the Carnation Revolution would be published in 1983, and is now being offered to English readers.
In this first pioneering and daring attempt to record a history of the Portuguese Revolution, recognising the risks of the proximity of the text to the object of study, as well as the proximity of the narrator to the historical action in which he was involved, the author made a redoubled effort of methodological rigour, through the selection, analysis and interpretation of the available sources, bequeathing a work that remains fundamental and intellectually challenging.

Tiro e Queda – Mortes que Mudaram a História
O preço original era: 16,00 €.12,00 €O preço atual é: 12,00 €. c/ IVA
Desde a Antiguidade Clássica até aos nossos dias, o exercício do poder esteve sempre sujeito à possibilidade de contestação – popular, política ou ideológica. entre outras formas. Em Portugal, mortes como as de Miguel de Vasconcelos, do rei D. Carlos ou do presidente Sidónio Pais alteraram definitivamente os destinos do nosso país: no estrangeiro, os assassinatos de Júlio César, do imperador Francisco Fernando ou do revolucionário Emiliano Zapata mudaram, de forma profunda e decisiva, o rumo da História. Movidas pelo ódio, pela inveja, pela ambição ou pela sede de poder, e interpretadas pela insatisfação popular, por adversários políticos e ideológicos ou por familiares sedentos de glória, muitas foram as causas que motivaram alguns dos assassinatos mais cruéis que a Humanidade presenciou.
Guia das grandes mudanças nos destinos das nações e dos impérios, Tiro e Queda – Mortes que Mudaram a História é uma obra fundamental para a compreensão da História da Humanidade, dos tempos mais remotos até à nossa contemporaneidade.

Tóquio Zombie
15,00 € c/ IVA
Publicar um livro de zombies depois da primeira década deste milénio pode parecer um acto anacrónico mas eis que "Tóquio Zombie", de Yusaku Hanakuma, é muito mais do que uma cómica história de terror, pois vive da grande tradição das narrativas de Zombies em que se critica o status quo.
Esta obra foi produzida entre 1998 e 1999 para a revista AX, insere-se no estilo "heta-uma" (mau, mas bom) e apesar do seu grafismo destabilizador, teve uma adaptação para cinema em 2005, pelo realizador Sakichi Sato, com participações dos actores Tadanobu Asano (Ichi, o Assassino) e Show Aikawa (Dead or Alive).
A presente edição é uma tiragem limitada de 200 exemplares com uma capa e sobrecapa diferentes da edição pela Sendai Editora [sendaieditora.com]

Trust – Building on The Cultural Commons
21,40 € c/ IVA
Pascal Gielen is a writer and full professor of sociology of culture and politics at the Antwerp Research Institute for the Arts (ARIA) where he leads the Culture Commons Quest Office.
Karina Beumer is a visual artist. Her work starts from drawing, and often leads to other forms of art, such as music, video, sculptures, writing.
How can we break through a culture of mistrust? Suspicion regarding our fellow beings, the authorities and enterprises is growing, blamed on passing the buck and feelings of impotence. We seek remedies in regulations, contracts and procedures, assurances, audits and consultancy. As well as in good governance and transparency. But do they actually make for real trust? Is trust not always somewhat blind?
Trust: Building on the Cultural Commons highlights the crucial role played by cultural commons, shared ‘common’ life and its customs, practices, knowledge and values. After all, trust is a matter of culture, emotion and even aesthetics. Wide-ranging trust starts with the sharing of vulnerabilities, and it is Pascal Gielen’s belief that the ‘common’ provides the necessary scope. Breathing space and scope for experiment. How might a society and a policy build on this?
This book is an English and international version of Vertrouwen: Bouwen op het cultureel 'gemeen', written by Pascal Gielen and published by Valiz in November 2023. For this new English language publication, Gielen has broadened the scope of the former book, and has included several international case studies of cultural commons.
