SURFACE: MATTERS OF AESTHETICS, MATERIALITY, AND MEDIA
Book ID/图书代码： 13560014B70490
English Summary/英文概要： What is the place of materiality - the expression or condition of a physical substance - in our visual age of rapidly changing materials and media? How is it fashioned in the arts or manifested in technology? In Surface, cultural critic and theorist Giuliana Bruno deftly explores these questions, seeking to understand materiality in the contemporary world. Arguing that materiality is not a question of the materials themselves but rather the substance of material relations, Bruno investigates the space of those relations, examining how they appear on the surface of different media - for example, on movie, television, or computer screens or on the skin of buildings and people. The object of visual studies, she insists, goes well beyond the image, and she contends that the contact between people and objects occurs on the surface. Through this tangible contact, we apprehend the art object and space of art. As such, Bruno threads through the surfaces of images, emphasizing the actual fabrics of the visual - the surface condition, the textural manifestation, the support of a work, and the way in which it is sited, whether on a canvas, a wall, or a screen. In performing these critical operations on the surface, she articulates it as a site in which different forms of mediation and transformation can take place. Surveying object relations across art, architecture, fashion, design, film, and new media, Surface is a magisterial account of contemporary visual culture.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 什么是物质的本身 – 是一种表达的方式还是一种实物形态下的条件反射-抑或是在我们视觉迅速发展时代下的媒介物质？ 它怎么在艺术中被塑造成的，或是在现代技术下显现的？ 在本书，文化评论家和理论家Giuliana Bruno巧妙地探索了这些问题，寻找现代社会中物质性的本身意义。业界对于这一问题的看法是物质不是材料本身的问题，而是物质与其的实质性关系， Bruno探索了这些物质的空间关系，研究它们是如何以不同的形式以媒介的方式加以表达，例如在电影、电视或者计算机屏幕或者在建筑物和人的外表下。 她认为视觉研究对象，远远超出人类所看到的表象之外，而她认为人和物体在表象之间有着必然的联系。 通过这种有形的接触，我们捉捕到艺术对象和艺术空间。 同样地， Bruno透过表象的图像，强调实际的物质构造视觉-表面状况，质地显示、作品的支撑点以及其选址的方式，是否在一张画布、一面墙壁或者一个屏幕上。 在表面进行这些重要操作时，她明确表达这种物质作为不同的形式地点作为中介，可能所展现出不同形态。横跨艺术透视物质和艺术、建筑学、时尚、设计、影片和新媒体之间的关系，《表象》是当代视觉文化一个权威参考资料。(Sandy)

"One of those critical works packed with learning and insights that at the same time takes you on an exhilarating ride through its author’s imagination." (Marina Warner, Guardian) "A hugely ambitious mapping of the complex intertwinings of film, architecture, and the body. This adventurous book will be of interest to anyone concerned with what we might call ’mobility studies’: the attempt to understand cultural performances not as the manifestation of fixed structures but as the expression of restless energies." (Stephen Greenblatt)"
