{"product_id":"rematerializing-colour-diana-young-9781907774256","title":"Rematerializing Colour: From Concept to Substance","description":"\u003cp\u003eColour is largely assumed to be already in the world, a natural universal that everyone, everywhere understands. Yet cognitive scientists routinely\u003cbr\u003e tell us that colour is an illusion, and a private one for each of us; neither social nor material, it is held to be a product of individual brains and eyes\u003cbr\u003e rather than an aspect of things.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection seeks to challenge these assumptions and examine their far-reaching consequences, arguing that colour is about practical\u003cbr\u003e involvement in the world, not a finalized set of theories, and getting to know colour is relative to the situation one is in - both ecologically and\u003cbr\u003e environmentally. Specialists from the fields of anthropology, psychology, cinematography, art history and linguistics explore the depths of colour\u003cbr\u003e in relation to light and movement, memory and landscape, language and narrative, in case studies with an emphasis on Australian First Peoples, but\u003cbr\u003e ranging as far afield as Russia and First Nations in British Columbia. What becomes apparent, is not only the complex but important role of colours in\u003cbr\u003e socializing the world; but also that the concept of colour only exists in some times and cultures. It should not be forgotten that the Munsell Chart, with\u003cbr\u003e its construction of colours as mathematical coordinates of hues, value and chroma, is not an abstraction of universals, as often claimed, but is itself a\u003cbr\u003e cultural artefact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Diana Young\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1907774254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781907774256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sean Kingston Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.88d","brand":"Diana Young","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44058398261503,"sku":"9781907774256","price":105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cd55383b-095f-4a4e-ac99-2be686cc7471.jpg?v=1685052329","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rematerializing-colour-diana-young-9781907774256","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
