How I Live Now is a novel by Meg Rosoff, first published in 2004. These works focus on the notion of individuality and what comes together is a collective pursuit of the idea of “framing beauty” in a complex society. Some use their own photographs and archival references to incorporate stories about beauty and social politics about injustices. They explore gender and desire humor and apathy child games and toys and play with the imaginary through dreaming and projecting. The tension explored in this lecture is found in the works that ask questions of the unknown viewer that confront the work through a wide range of media from film, video, painting, sculpture, installation art and mixed media. This lecture will focus on artists and photographers who are looking at the past, recreating portraits through the camera’s lens while others are re-staging beauty as a performative act. Reframing Beauty: Intimate Visions Presented by Deborah Willis, PhD Minor point, but it still bugged me: the lack of passage specific source citation for the text makes me wonder where some of the facts came from. Most appreciated here, though, was a map of the Battle of Actium which none of the other books I’ve read so far provided. The “Documents” section in the back is nifty, but it’s really just a collection of snippets from either primary or literary sources about Cleopatra (or the people in her life), just enough to spice up the reading but nothing you can really sink your teeth into. Even with such limitations, though, the book does manage to get across a lot of information, helped along by the more than plentiful pictures and illustrations. In a book this compact there isn’t a lot of room for elaboration so the concise details and zippy momentum keep the story moving at a fair pace. Though there are some minor editing issues, they don’t detract from the straightforward narrative of Cleopatra’s life. At 160 pages this is a rather slight book: the first 112 pages are slick and glossy (for the pictures), the rest is the “Documents” section printed on regular drab paper (resembling parchment in color, maybe to evoke mood?). This is an interesting little book, kind of like a miniature coffee table book, so full of pictures that the text must bob, weave, duck, and jump around them. The book comprises of 16 essays written on various themes over a period of time and then compiled together as this book.
