3514171Before the Beginning, During the Middle, After the Endhttps://www.gandhi.com.mx/before-the-beginning-during-the-middle-after-the-end-9781630875152/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2414037/4ee08172-ac42-48ca-aa4a-912c2534b277.jpg?v=638383942994400000418581MXNWipf and Stock PublishersInStock/Ebooks/<p>The divisions that mark my subject are three. The first is that point where the world begins--where it appears from out of the mystery of non-being. The second lies somewhere between its progeny and its future--the times between beginnings and ends where we, the beneficiaries of our being-here, come together to sing a celebration of the wonder that it happened at all, and then intone the fear of its ending. The third division is a speculation on ends--our own and the ending of the world. I use these divisions to locate a something that comes from nothing onto a historical tradition that imposes a value on the progression of that something, and so requires a judgment on all that has passed. I first discuss these through religious attempts to invest life and history with purpose--for they form the major explanatory traditions of Western culture and are a thematic source of much of its greatest art. I continue with an art-critical approach where themes of process and purpose are located in artworks through their stylistic histories and ambitions. I indicate how present art, when open to reconstitute such themes, could change the nature of todays efforts to give art polemical purposes, and so provide new reasons for its making. I conclude with some stories, unevenly biographical, partly fictional, which I offer as parables for the developed themes and their transformations. This last aim is to elucidate a view of art as providing specific symbols for a cosmology of beginning, living, and ending.</p>...3449939Before the Beginning, During the Middle, After the End418581https://www.gandhi.com.mx/before-the-beginning-during-the-middle-after-the-end-9781630875152/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/2414037/4ee08172-ac42-48ca-aa4a-912c2534b277.jpg?v=638383942994400000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20149781630875152_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9781630875152_<p>The divisions that mark my subject are three.
