Jacques Herzog, "...hardly finished work..." (1/27/16)

source: Harvard GSD    2016年1月29日
Herzog & de Meuron is a partnership led by five Senior Partners – Jacques Herzog, Pierre de Meuron, Christine Binswanger, Ascan Mergenthaler and Stefan Marbach. Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron established their office in Basel in 1978. The partnership has grown over the years. An international team of about 420 collaborators is working on more than 50 projects across Europe, North and South America and Asia. Herzog & de Meuron are known for designs that are at once highly inventive and sensitive to the site, geography, and cultural context creating projects that are highly specific to their place and program brief, from the small-scale private home to large-scale public and cultural facilities. The practice has been awarded numerous prizes including The Pritzker Architecture Prize (USA) in 2001, the RIBA Royal Gold Medal (UK) and the Praemium Imperiale (Japan), both in 2007. In 2014, Herzog & de Meuron were awarded the Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize (MCHAP) for 1111 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach.

Frédéric Malle of Editions de Parfums with Perfumer Carlos Benaïm (11/19/2015)

source: Harvard GSD    2015年12月4日
Frédéric Malle, joined in conversation by Perfumer Carlos Benaïm, will speak about design, the creative process, the fragrances themselves, and their ingredients and histories. Following their presentation Rosetta Elkin, Assistant Professor of Landscape Architecture at Harvard GSD, will join the two for a question/answer period and discussion.

Carlos Benaïm (left image) was born in Tangier, Morocco, and spent his childhood in close contact with natural ingredients that gave him a taste for beauty. He studied chemistry at the University of Toulouse and the Ecole Nationale Superieure de Chemie in Toulouse before joining International Flavors and Fragrances, Inc. (IFF), based in New York. At IFF he would create several major fragrances for the cosmetics industry, including Polo Green and Polo Blue by Ralph Lauren, Euphoria and Eternity for Men by Calvin Klein, White Diamonds by Elizabeth Taylor, Fierce by Abercrombie & Fitch, Jasmin Noir by Bulgari, Prada Amber by Prada, Armani Code for Women by Giorgio Armani, Flowerbomb and Spicebomb by Viktor & Rolf, and others. For his work he has won nine FiFi awards and a lifetime achievement award from the American Society of Perfumers; in 2013 he was named the first Master Perfumer at IFF; in 2014 he was named perfumer of the year.

You have seen successes and failures for a lifetime. What makes the difference? It takes many different things, of course, but the one irreducible piece is that you have to give something of yourself. The fragrance has to have a piece of oneself. You try to please the consumer and you suddenly have to listen and understand the customer and consumer preferences deeply. But I have found that what really moves the consumer is when they feel the intense emotional involvement of the perfumer behind his creation. Perfume is more than a product. At its best, it is a piece of art; and I would call that the power of the creative mind. Paradoxically the other irreducible fact is the power of collaboration, because nobody does it alone. —From Carlos Benaïm's acceptance speech for a lifetime achievement award at Fragrance Foundation awards, 2014.

Frédéric Malle (right image) was born in Paris into a family deeply involved in perfume and the arts, including his grandfather, who worked closely with Dior to create Parfums Christian Dior; his mother, who was art director of the Dior house of fragrance; and his uncle, the film director Louis Malle. After studying art history at NYU, seeking to master every aspect of the perfume trade, Frédéric Malle worked at French ad agency Havas International and at fragrance lab Roure under master perfumer Jean Amic before establishing Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle in Paris in 2000, which soon expanded to department stores and stand-alone boutiques in New York, Rome, and London.

Rejecting the norms of mass produced fragrance, seeking a return to luxury and creativity, Malle has kept his company on a carefully controlled scale in order to empower the fragrance creators while offering the customer an exceptional experience. He has developed his fragrances through collaborations with well-known master perfumers of today, including Dominique Ropion, Jean-Claude Ellena, Maurice Roucel, Olivia Giacobetti, Pierre Bourdon, Edmond Roudnitska, and Michel Roudnitska.

Malle regards fragrance creation as analogous to publishing a book, with the nose as the author, the name of the fragrance as the title, and himself as editor in chief. This metaphor inspired the sophisticated yet restrained brand identity of Editions de Parfums. His shop interiors—including the Greenwich Village store designed with architect Steven Holl—include Malle's own invention: the "smelling column" that first appeared in the boutique in Barney's New York, which allow a customer to experience the scent and appreciate its complexity in isolation from the surrounding air.

So much money is spent on marketing and ensuring that the scent will sell in large quantities that the actual fragrance quality is lost and the creative freedom of the perfumer is stifled.
—Frédéric Malle

Modeling Deconstruction and New Historicism--Benjamin Hagen

ENG 201 (Fall 2014): Lecture 3.3—Modeling Deconstruction and New Historicism
In this video, I wrap up this lecture series by modeling an "ideal" deconstructive reading of Mary Robinson's "A London Summer Morning" and by anticipating a new historicist account of the poem. I end the video by summarizing the different accounts that each mode of criticism made possible.
In this video, I allude to a lecture I posted last year on the "Tendencies of Deconstructive Criticism." Here's a link to that video: http://youtu.be/9GZ2ZNnm2DU?list=PLFl....
I also mention several histories at the end of this video. Here are links to those books:

Doug Kellner Full Interview

source: Joe Galbo    2014年9月18日
Douglas Kellner is a critical theorist in the tradition of the Frankfurt Institute for Social Research, or Frankfurt School. Kellner was an early theorist of the field of critical media literacy and has been a leading theorist of media culture. In his recent work, he has increasingly argued that media culture has become dominated by the forms of spectacle and mega-spectacle.

Kellner has written with a number of authors, including an award-winning trilogy of books on post-modern turns in philosophy, the arts, and in science and technology. More recently, he is known for his work exploring the politically oppositional potentials of new media. Kellner is now overseeing the publication of six volumes of the collected papers of the critical theorist Herbert Marcuse. Kellner is the George Kneller Chair in the Philosophy of Education in the Graduate School of Education and Information Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles.

1. The Universal Structure of Sociocultural Systems

source: Frank Elwell    2013年7月11日
An introductory lecture to sociocultural materialism, a revision of Marvin Harris's cultural materialism. This theory integrates the sociology of Max Weber into Harris's basic theory, as well as the insights of many contemporary sociologists and anthropologists.

2. Sociocultural Materialism: System Dynamics

source: Frank Elwell    2013年7月11日
The second of a two-part lecture on sociocultural materialism, a sociological revision of Marvin Harris's Cultural Materialism. Sociocultural materialism is a macro-social theory that focuses upon the origin, maintenance, and change of society. An evolutionary-ecological theory it owes much to the work not only of Harris, but also Max Weber, Gerhard Lenski, and other sociologists.
