High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Territorialism was a Jewish political movement calling for creation of a sufficiently large and compact Jewish territory (or territories), not necessarily in the Land of Israel and not necessarily fully autonomous. Before 1905 some Zionist leaders took seriously proposals for Jewish homelands in places other than Palestine. Theodor Herzl's Der Judenstaat argued for a Jewish state in either Palestine, "our ever-memorable historic home", or Argentina, "one of the most fertile countries in the world". Many of the socialist Zionist groups were more territorialist than Zionist, such as Nachman Syrkin's Zionist Socialist Workers Party (the Z.S.). The Jewish Colonization Association, created on 1891...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Terry Southern (1 May 1924 – 29 October 1995) was a highly influential American author, essayist, screenwriter and university lecturer, noted for his distinctive satirical style. Part of the Paris postwar literary movement in the 1950s and a companion to Beat writers in Greenwich Village, Southern was also at the center of Swinging London in the sixties and helped to change the style and substance of American films in the 1970s. In the 1980s he wrote for Saturday Night Live and lectured on screenwriting at several universities in New York. Southern's dark and often absurdist style of broad yet biting satire helped to define the sensibilities of several generations of writers, readers,...

Unlike primary and secondary colors, these are not represented by one firmly established name each, but the following examples include some typical names. Brown and grey are sometimes known as Tertiary colors and are usually made by the complementary color. Primary colors are sets of colors that can be combined to make a useful range of colors. For human applications, three primary colors are usually used, since human color vision is trichromatic. Данное издание не является оригинальным. Книга печатается по...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A tessera (plural: tesserae, diminutive tessella) is an individual tile in a mosaic, usually formed in the shape of a cube. It is also known as an abaciscus, abaculus, or, in Persian . In antiquity, mosaics were formed from naturally colored pebbles, but by 200 BC purpose-made tesserae were being used. Marble or limestone was cut into small cubes that were arranged into the design. Later, tesserae were made from colored glass, or clear glass backed with metal foils. The Byzantines used tesserae with gold leaf, in which case the glass pieces were flatter, with two glass pieces sandwiching the gold. This produced a golden reflection emanating from in between the tesserae as well as their front,...

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A tetramorph is a symbolic arrangement of four differing elements. The term is derived from the Greek tetra, meaning four, and morph, shape. Archaeological evidence exists showing that early man divided the four quarters of the horizon, or space, later a place of sacrifice, such as a temple, and attributed characteristics and spiritual qualities to each quarter. Alternatively the composite elements were carved into mythic creatures such as the Egyptian, Greek and Babylonian Sphinxes of antiquity depicting bull-like bodies with birds-wings, lion’s paws and human faces. Such composite creatures are found in many...

A Hebrew Tetractys in a similar way has the letters of the Tetragrammaton (the four lettered name of God in Hebrew scripture) inscribed on the ten positions of the tetractys, from right to left. It has been argued that the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, with its ten spheres of emanation, is in some way connected to the tetractys, but its form is not that of a triangle.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Textile arts are those arts and crafts that use plant, animal, or synthetic fibers to construct practical or decorative objects. Textiles have been a fundamental part of human life since the beginning of civilization, and the methods and materials used to make them have expanded enormously, while the functions of textiles have remained the same. The history of textile arts is also the history of international trade. Tyrian purple dye was an important trade good in the ancient Mediterranean. The Silk Road brought Chinese silk to India, Africa, and Europe. Tastes for imported luxury fabrics led to sumptuary laws during the Middle Ages and Renaissance. The industrial revolution was a revolution of...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Pierre Etienne Theodore Rousseau (April 15, 1812 - December 22, 1867), French painter of the Barbizon school, was born in Paris, of a bourgeois family which included one or two artists. At first he received a business training, but soon displayed aptitude for painting. Although his father regretted the decision at first, he became reconciled to his son leaving business, and throughout the artist's career (for he survived his son) was a sympathizer with him in all his conflicts with the Paris Salon authorities. Theodore Rousseau shared the difficulties of the romantic painters of 1830 in securing for their pictures a place in the annual Paris exhibition. The whole influence of the classically...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A Thai stilt house is a bamboo-made hut with sharp angled roofs and wooden floorboards. The ceiling is typically high to provide good ventilation. The mattress would be usually laid on the floor rather than on a bed. The house can be found along the beaches in Thailand, and some freshwater sources like lotus ponds. In the Neolithic and Bronze Age, stilt houses were common in the Alpine and Pianura Padana (Terramare) region. Remains have been found at the Ljubljana Marshes in Slovenia and at the Mondsee and Attersee lakes in Upper Austria, for example. Early archaeologists like Ferdinand Keller thought they formed artificial islands, much like the Scottish Crannogs, but today it is clear that...

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Traditional Thai art is primarily composed of Buddhist art. Traditional Thai sculpture almost exclusively depicts images of the Buddha. Traditional Thai paintings usually consist of book illustrations, and painted ornamentation of buildings such as palaces and temples. Traditional Thai paintings showed subjects in two dimensions without perspective. The size of each element in the picture reflected its degree of importance. The primary technique of composition is that of apportioning areas: the main elements are isolated from each other by space transformers. This eliminated the intermediate ground, which would otherwise imply perspective. Perspective was introduced only as a result of Western...

One of the major cultural upheavals of the 1960s was a blurring of the boundaries that defined traditional art disciplines. In particular, sculpture, performance art and dance came to share many of the same attributes that once made them distinct practices. The works of George Segal, Allan Kaprow and Yvonne Rainer intersect in ways that dramatically elucidate these issues during this period. This study explores these changes arguing that there was an inverse relationship between the performative nature of Segal sculptures and the non-expressive immobility of Kaprow and Rainer performances. This contradiction where sculpture became more performative and dance became more still, challenged long-standing conceptions of these disciplines....

The main idea behind 8BE is that when people are given information in a certain way, they learn and accept those new ideas. This brings about a lot of warping of ideas when they are given the wrong information in the first place. If a person was told from the beginning that she can walk on a bridge made of paper without it collapsing, then without hesitating, she may try to do so, only to find that what was told to her was not true. After that, the person would most probably not try to walk on a paper bridge again. However, if she is told that one can really walk on a paper bridge, she may ignore her own beliefs and try to walk on a paper bridge again only to find out too late that his/her previous beliefs were true. Similarly, many...

The ‘Annals of All Hallows' – a mosaic of varying hues – reflects a peoples' cultural memory that must never be forgotten. All who have passed through the gates of All Hallows are in some way suspended in webs of significance, but the cultural undertow of the last forty years is stronger than the web itself and forces all of us to break through the glass ceiling of the symbolic world and the ‘givens' about life up to this point in time. The function of ‘The Annals of All Hallows is to re-member all those who passed through these hallowed halls, many of whom were missioned to serve the Church in other lands amongst other cultures. The Annals records in wood the names of all who entered All Hallows and artistically incorporates...

This book is a detailed study of the enormous pre-Columbian ruin Kuelap in the Department of Amazonas, Peru. The text provides a description of this area of northeastern Peru and a narrative historiography of the ruin. From the time of Kuelap’s introduction to the modern world in 1843, the Kuelap has always been considered a fortress. This study is a reconsideration of this militaristic framing. The following chapters also critique the belligerent stereotype assigned to the northern Andean highlands for the Late Intermediate Period (1,000 to 1,400 AD). The text also explores the historical digression, concerning Chachapoya studies, caused by this mindset. Theories are then presented which will offer a plausible scenario for the...

How far can go a scientist in reaching his ambitious strives? Is he allowed to use human beings as objects of his experiments? Can we accept the isolation imposed on innocent victims for the sake of scientific development? Should we agree with the fact that anything can be sacrificed in favour of a higher goal without any painful loss? You can have the chance to decide if you take a closer look into the tragical stories The Birthmark and Rappaccini's Daughter.

It is a broader term than "art," which as a description of a field usually means only the visual arts. The arts encompasses visual arts, literature and the performing arts - music, drama, dance and film, among others. This list is by no means comprehensive, but only meant to introduce the concept of the arts. A good definition of the arts is given by the Free Dictionary as "imaginative, creative, and nonscientific branches of knowledge considered collectively, esp. as studied academically." The singular term art is defined by the Irish Art Encyclopedia as follows: "Art is created when an artist...

An ethical choice is rarely black and white. When is something art and when is it not? When is it pure provocation? And should ‘Art’ be a reasonable justification for provocation or insult? I am attracted to subjects and themes that lie close to the border of public opinion of what is acceptable. This interest in death has been with me for quite some time now.
