Tracking Color in Cinema and Art Philosophy and Aesthetics

Tracking Color in Cinema and Art Philosophy and Aesthetics

Color is one of cinema’s most alluring formal systems building on a range of artistic traditions that orchestrate visual cues to tell stories stage ideas and elicit feelings. But what if color is not—or not only—a formal system but instead a linguistic effect emerging from the slipstream of our talk and embodiment in a world? This book develops a compelling framework from which to understand the mobility of color in art and mind where color impressions are seen through and even governed by patterns of ordinary language use schemata memories and narrative. Edward Branigan draws on the work of Ludwig Wittgenstein and other philosophers who struggle valiantly with problems of color aesthetics contemporary theories of film and narrative and art-historical models of analysis. Examples of a variety of media from American pop art to contemporary European cinema illustrate a theory based on a spectator’s present-time tracking of temporal patterns that are firmly entwined with language use and social intelligence. | Tracking Color in Cinema and Art Philosophy and Aesthetics

Women of Color in the Aviation Industry

Women of Color in the Aviation Industry

Women of Color in the Aviation Industry offers a critical look at the reasons why the aviation industry remains underrepresented with minoritized groups particularly women of color. Despite the increased efforts to advocate for diversity equity and inclusion within the industry the diversity of its employees remains stagnant. Through interviews and conversations with a number of women of color this book argues that the industry is not doing enough to create and sustain a more equitable workforce. In this book readers will discover why less than 4% of qualified commercial airline pilots are women and of that less than 1% are Black women. The numbers of Latinx Indigenous people Asian and other people of color working in the aviation industry are lacking. This book explores how the aviation industry often fails to incorporate the experiences of women of color when developing and implementing diversity equity and inclusion initiatives and offers different perspectives on why it remains challenging to recruit and retain minoritized people to the industry. By bringing in the experiences of a variety of women this book asks readers to reflect on what it means for an organization to describe itself as one that supports diversity equity and inclusion. This timely important book is a valuable resource for a wide spectrum of researchers and students in aviation as well as gender race and ethnic studies. Whilst the examples in this book serve as a case study for aviation it can be used to examine other fields encountering similar challenges in creating a more equitable workforce.

They share their doubts and fears as they began their applications the contradictory advice they received who they consulted for guidance some of the indelible costs of the experience and when they encountered it how they dealt with initial rejection. In describing their persistence and success the contributors reflect on the rewards of the position and the opportunities it offers to play influential decision-making roles and become agents of change shifting institutional culture values and practices. Beyond filling a gap in the literature and research on and promotion to this position this book uniquely addresses the experiences of women and men faculty of color raising broad implications for how higher education recruits evaluates and rewards faculty work as well as the broader context of racial and social institutional goals and outcomes.

Color that Matters A Comparative Approach to Mixed Race Identity and Nordic Exceptionalism

Color that Matters A Comparative Approach to Mixed Race Identity and Nordic Exceptionalism

This book examines the ways in which mixed ethnic identities in Scandinavia are formed along both cultural and embodied lines arguing that while the official discourses in the region refer to a post-racial or color blind era color still matters in the lives of people of mixed ethnic descent. Drawing on research from people of mixed ethnic backgrounds the author offers insights into how color matters and is made to matter and into the ways in which terms such as ethnic and ethnicity remain very much indebted to their older racialized grammar. Color that Matters moves beyond the conventional Anglo-American focus of scholarship in this field showing that while similarities exist between the racial and ethnic discourses of the US and UK and those found in the Nordic region Scandinavia and Norway in particular manifests important differences in part owing to a tendency to view itself as exceptional or outside the colonial heritage of race and imperialism. Presenting both a contextualization of racial discourses since World War II based on documentary analysis and new interview material with people of mixed ethnic backgrounds the book acts as a corrective to the blind spot within Scandinavian research on ethnic minorities offering a new reading of race for the Nordic region that engages with the idea that color has been emptied of legitimate cultural content. | Color that Matters A Comparative Approach to Mixed Race Identity and Nordic Exceptionalism

The Materiality of Color The Production Circulation and Application of Dyes and Pigments 1400–1800

The Materiality of Color The Production Circulation and Application of Dyes and Pigments 1400–1800

Although much has been written on the aesthetic value of color there are other values that adhere to it with economic and social values among them. Through case studies of particular colors and colored objects this volume demonstrates just how complex the history of color is by focusing on the diverse social and cultural meanings of color; the trouble pain and suffering behind the production and application of these colors; the difficult technical processes for making and applying color; and the intricacy of commercial exchanges and knowledge transfers as commodities and techniques moved from one region to another. By emphasizing color's materiality the way in which it was produced exchanged and used by artisans artists and craftspersons contributors draw attention to the disjuncture between the beauty of color and the blood sweat and tears that went into its production circulation and application as well as to the complicated and varied social meanings attached to color within specific historical and social contexts. This book captures color's global history with chapters on indigo plantations in India and the American South cochineal production in colonial Oaxaca the taste for brightly colored Chinese objects in Europe and the thriving trade in vermilion between Europeans and Native Americans. To underscore the complexity of the technical knowledge behind color production there are chapters on the 'discovery' of Prussian blue Brazilian feather techné and wallpaper production. To sound the depths of color's capacity for social and cultural meaning-making there are chapters that explore the significance of black ink in Shakespeare's sonnets red threads in women's needlework samplers blues in Mayan sacred statuary and greens and yellows in colored glass bracelets that were traded across the Arabian desert in the late Middle Ages. The purpose of this book is to recover color's complex-and sometimes morally troubling-past and in doing so to restore a sense of wonder and appreciation for our colorful world. With its nuanced and complex depiction of how color operated within local contexts and moved across the globe this book will appeal to art historians social and cultural historians museum curators literary scholars rhetoric scholars and historians of science and technology. | The Materiality of Color The Production Circulation and Application of Dyes and Pigments 1400–1800
