Paperback. Zustand: New. This unique history of Japanese armed martial arts-the only comprehensive treatment of the subject in English-focuses on traditions of swordsmanship and archery from ancient times to the present. G. Cameron Hurst III provides an overview of martial arts in Japanese history and culture, then closely examines the transformation of these fighting skills into sports. He discusses the influence of the Western athletic tradition on the armed martial arts as well as the ways the martial arts have remained distinctly Japanese. During the Tokugawa era (1600-1867), swordsmanship and archery developed from fighting systems into martial arts, transformed by the powerful social forces of peace, urbanization, literacy, and professionalized instruction in art forms. Hurst investigates the changes that occurred as military skills that were no longer necessary took on new purposes: physical fitness, spiritual composure, character development, and sport. He also considers Western misperceptions of Japanese traditional martial arts and argues that, contrary to common views in the West, Zen Buddhism is associated with the martial arts in only a limited way. The author concludes by exploring the modern organization, teaching, ritual, and philosophy of archery and swordsmanship; relating these martial arts to other art forms and placing them in the broader context of Japanese culture.…

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Norman Lindsay (18791969) was a prolific, popular, and controversial Australian artist, best known for his childrens book The Magic Pudding, and prints which draw on Greek and Roman myth and C19th literature and philosophy.Australian culture is indelibly marked by Lindsays output, his prominence in the Sydney bohemian intellectual scene, and by The Magic Pudding, which entrances the imagination of generations of Australian children. But it is marked by the paradoxical conjunctions of Lindsays life, too: artistic bohemia and fascistic tendencies, avant-gardism and a fervor for the rule of law, libertinism and conservatism, worship and denigration.Few figures are as divisive as Lindsay. These essays, by art historians, film critics and cultural commentators are erudite, varied, and often incendiary.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. A few years ago, Cameron Hurst, Sally Olds, and Oscar Schwartz sat down for a beer at a Melbourne pub and decided to start a newsletter. It would be called The Paris End, after the aspirationally cosmopolitan (yet persistently grotty) hilltop at the eastern end of Melbournes city centre. It would seek to make much of a striving metropolis. It would publish hyperlocal, irreverent, long-form literary journalism a dirty martini and a good gossip in email form.EXCLUSIVE brings together a selection of eighteen lively essays from the first years of The Paris End. Hurst, Olds, and Schwartz take you into corset-making studios, art fairs, micro-dairies, apartment developments, university pubs, biohacking spas, court rooms, and the musty offices of the citys Lacanian psychoanalysts. They ask urgent questions, such as: Can the male lesbian speak? Would you want to live forever if you had to live in Docklands? How does one emulate Frank Moorhouses financial ability to stay fed with caviar, and watered with champagne?In this anthology, three distinct voices collaborate to mythologise a time and place, making Melbourne feel as worthy of attention as London, New York or Berlin. EXCLUSIVE brings together a selection of eighteen lively essays from the first years of The Paris End.

/ with contributions from Ian McLean, Adrain Martin, Cameron Hurst, Jeremy George, James Nguyen, Soo-Min Shim. [Cover title]. Small octavo (175 x 105 mm), illustrated wrappers, pp. 152; an as-new copy. 'Norman Lindsay (1879?1969) was a prolific, popular, and controversial Australian artist. He is best known for his children's book The Magic Pudding (1918) and his skilled prints, which mostly draw on Greek and Roman mythology and nineteenth century literature and philosophy. The Australian cultural consciousness is indelibly marked by Lindsay's output, his prominence in the Sydney bohemian intellectual scene and by The Magic Pudding, which marks the imagination of generation after generation of children growing up in Australia. This consciousness is shaped too by the paradoxical conjunctions of Lindsay's life: artistic bohemianism and fascist tendencies, avant-gardism and a fervour for the rule of law, libertinism and conservatism, worship and denigration. This collection of essays examines Lindsay's current position in Australian art history. The authors? opinions are erudite, varied and often incendiary; few figures are as divisive as Lindsay. Film critic Adrian Martin writes alongside Ian McLean, the Hugh Ramsay Chair of Australian Art History at the University of Melbourne, art historian Cameron Hurst, and literary critic Jeremy George. Art historian Soo-Min Shim responds to a video work by artist James Nguyen.' (Publisher's website).…
