Tomando como punto de partida la red de relaciones e interacciones locales e internacionales que existe entre los agentes sociales que actúan en el campo artístico, este libro articula tres fenómenos que son consecuencia de un pasado colonial y de un presente que se podria caracterizar como neo-colonial.El primero concierne al en su dia denominado arte primitivo y a su rol fundamental en la configuracion del arte moderno. El segundo, a los efectos ideales y materiales del colonialismo sobre las formas de expresion artistica de numerosas sociedades etnograficas. Y el tercero, a la internacionalizacion del arte y su mercado, y a las dificultades con las que se encuentran los otrora ?primitivos? y hoy ?etnicos? para acceder a su reconocimiento como productores o productoras de arte contemporaneo.

My Design in this Book is not to explain the Properties of Light by Hypotheses, but to propose and prove them by Reason and Experiments: In order to which I shall premise the following Definitions and Axioms.DEFIN. I.By the Rays of Light I understand its least Parts, and those as well Successive in the same Lines, as Contemporary in several Lines. For it is manifest that Light consists of Parts, both Successive and Contemporary; because in the same place you may stop that which comes one moment, and let pass that which comes presently after; and in the same time you may stop it in any one place, and let it pass in any other. For that part of Light which is stoppd cannot be the same with that which is let pass. The least Light or part of Light, which may be stoppd alone without the rest of the Light, or propagated alone, or do or suffer any thing alone, which the rest of the Light doth not or suffers not, I call a Ray of Light...

One of Smithsonians Favorite Books of 2018One of Forbess 2018 Best Books About Astronomy, Physics and MathematicsOne of Kirkuss Best Books of 2018 The intellectual adventure story of the "double-slit" experiment, showing how a sunbeam split into two paths first challenged our understanding of light and then the nature of reality itself--and continues to almost 200 years later.Many of sciences greatest minds have grappled with the simple yet elusive "double-slit" experiment. Thomas Young devised it in the early 1800s to show that light behaves like a wave, and in doing so opposed Isaac Newton. Nearly a century later, Albert Einstein showed that light comes in quanta, or particles, and the experiment became key to a fierce debate between Einstein and Niels Bohr over the nature of reality. Richard Feynman held that the double slit embodies the central mystery of the quantum world. Decade after decade, hypothesis after hypothesis, scientists have returned to this ingenious experiment to help them answer deeper and deeper questions about the fabric of the universe.How can a single particle behave both like a particle and a wave? Does a particle exist before we look at it, or does the very act of looking create reality? Are there hidden aspects to reality missing from the orthodox view of quantum physics? Is there a place where the quantum world ends and the familiar classical world of our daily lives begins, and if so, can we find it? And if theres no such place, then does the universe split into two each time a particle goes through the double slit?With his extraordinarily gifted eloquence, Anil Ananthaswamy travels around the world and through history, down to the smallest scales of physical reality we have yet fathomed. Through Two Doors at Once is the most fantastic voyage you can take.
