“Here and there the great city takes as it were a breathing time in the country, and then begins again thicker, livelier, more highly coloured”
Philip Mansel, Constantinople: City of the World's Desire 1453-1924

“A venerable Japanese proverb declares, “The silkworm-moth eyebrow of a woman is the axe that cuts down the wisdom of man.” Likewise, the oldest surviving collection of Chinese poetry, The Book of Odes, features an entomological tribute to a noblewoman’s face: “Her forehead cicada-like / her eyebrows like [the antennae of] the silkworm moth / What dimples, as she artfully smiled!” Throughout China’s imperial history, the attraction of a woman’s éméi (蛾眉)—her “moth-feeler eyebrows”—was a persistent theme.”
Edward D. Melillo, The Butterfly Effect: Insects and the Making of the Modern World

“We discuss and attempt to visualize final products and the specific aspects assignments will include, though we are careful to allow for creativity and innovation during the composition process, otherwise students are somewhat prohibited from taking risks and using composition as discovery.”

“A catalogue represents real research, something new and distinct. It requires great patience, extensive knowledge, and a real love of the object.”
Hans von Trotha, Pollak's Arm

“Marx inspired Bourdieu’s understanding of society as the embodiment of concrete relationships rather than separate, abstract entities, like individuals and rules. Weber had formulated concepts such as domination, which Bourdieu developed as unconscious internalization of relations of subjugation. Ernst Cassirer* wrote about violence, power, and capital as “symbolic forms,” which is very similar to the symbolic capital conceptualized by Bourdieu. From Durkheim, as much as from structural linguistics, Bourdieu borrowed the notion of structure and its reproducing mechanisms”
Rodolfo Maggio, An Analysis of Pierre Bourdieu's Outline of a Theory of Practice
