The lectures were broadcast on CBC Radio One 's Ideas November 10 -- 14 . The book was published by House of Anansi Press , both in paperback and in a limited edition hardcover . The lectures and book had been originally scheduled for 2009 , but were moved up to 2008 to avoid conflicting with Atwood 's forthcoming novel after the latter book was delayed by its publisher . The content examines borrowing and lending from financial , psychological , theological , literary , and ecological points of view . Its release coincided with extensive media coverage of the recent financial crisis which led numerous critics to comment on the book 's timeliness . In the Canadian market , the book peaked at # 1 on the The Globe and Mail bestseller list on October 25 and out-sold all previous Massey Lecture books . Critics found the book well-researched , thought-provoking , and humorous . Various reviewers found the discussions on the non-monetary aspects of debt to be the better parts of the book , while some critics identified the sections on ecological debt as the worse parts of the book .

"text": "The history of art is the history of any activity or product made by humans in a visual form for aesthetical or communicative purposes , expressing ideas , emotions or , in general , a worldview . Over time visual art has been classified in diverse ways , from the medieval distinction between liberal arts and mechanical arts , to the modern distinction between fine arts and applied arts , or to the many contemporary definitions , which define art as a manifestation of human creativity . The subsequent expansion of the list of principal arts in the 20th century reached to nine : architecture , dance , sculpture , music , painting , poetry ( described broadly as a form of literature with aesthetic purpose or function , which also includes the distinct genres of theatre and narrative ) , film , photography and graphic arts . In addition to the old forms of artistic expression such as fashion and gastronomy , new modes of expression are being considered as arts such as video , computer art , performance , advertising , animation , television and videogames . The history of art is a multidisciplinary branch of the arts and sciences , seeking an objective examination of art throughout time , classifying cultures , establishing periodizations , and observing the distinctive and influential characteristics of art . The study of the history of art was initially developed during the Renaissance , with its limited scope being the artistic production of Western civilization . However , as time has passed , it has imposed a broader view of artistic history , seeking a comprehensive overview of all the civilizations and analysis of their artistic production in terms of their own cultural values ( cultural relativism ) , and not just western art history . Today , art enjoys a wide network of study , dissemination and preservation of all the artistic legacy of mankind throughout history . The 20th century has seen the proliferation of institutions , foundations , art museums and galleries , in both the public and private sectors , dedicated to the analysis and cataloging of works of art as well as exhibitions aimed at a mainstream audience . The rise of media has been crucial in improving the study and dissemination of art . International events and exhibitions like the Whitney Biennial and biennales of Venice and São Paulo or the Documenta of Kassel have helped the development of new styles and trends . Prizes such as the Turner of the Tate Gallery , the Wolf Prize in Arts , the Pritzker Prize of architecture , the Pulitzer of photography and the Oscar of cinema also promote the best creative work on an international level . Institutions like UNESCO , with the establishment of the World Heritage Site lists , also help the conservation of the major monuments of the planet ."

"text": "In European academic traditions , fine art is art developed primarily for aesthetics or beauty , distinguishing it from applied art that also has to serve some practical function , such as pottery or most metalwork . Historically , the five main fine arts were painting , sculpture , architecture , music and poetry , with performing arts including theatre and dance . Today , the fine arts commonly include additional forms , such as film , photography , video production/editing , design , sequential art , conceptual art , and printmaking . However , in some institutes of learning or in museums , fine art and frequently the term fine arts ( pl . ) as well , are associated exclusively with visual art forms . One definition of fine art is `` a visual art considered to have been created primarily for aesthetic and intellectual purposes and judged for its beauty and meaningfulness , specifically , painting , sculpture , drawing , watercolor , graphics , and architecture . '' In that sense , there are conceptual differences between the fine arts and the applied arts . As originally conceived , and as understood for much of the modern era , the perception of aesthetic qualities required a refined judgment usually referred to as having good taste , which differentiated fine art from popular art and entertainment . The word `` fine '' does not so much denote the quality of the artwork in question , but the purity of the discipline according to traditional Western European canons . This definition originally excluded the applied or decorative arts , and the products of what were regarded as crafts . In contemporary practice these distinctions and restrictions have become essentially meaningless , as the concept or intention of the artist is given primacy , regardless of the means through which this is expressed ."

"docid": "Narrative",
"title": "",
"text": "A narrative or story is a report of connected events , real or imaginary , presented in a sequence of written or spoken words , or still or moving images , or both . The word derives from the Latin verb narrare , `` to tell '' , which is derived from the adjective gnarus , `` knowing '' or `` skilled '' . Narrative can be organized in a number of thematic or formal categories : non-fiction ( such as definitively including creative non-fiction , biography , journalism , transcript poetry , and historiography ) ; fictionalization of historical events ( such as anecdote , myth , legend , and historical fiction ) ; and fiction proper ( such as literature in prose and sometimes poetry , such as short stories , novels , and narrative poems and songs , and imaginary narratives as portrayed in other textual forms , games , or live or recorded performances ) . Narrative is found in all forms of human creativity , art , and entertainment , including speech , literature , theatre , music and song , comics , journalism , film , television and video , radio , gameplay , unstructured recreation , and performance in general , as well as some painting , sculpture , drawing , photography , and other visual arts ( though several modern art movements refuse the narrative in favor of the abstract and conceptual ) , as long as a sequence of events is presented . Oral storytelling is the earliest method for sharing narratives . During most people 's childhoods , narratives are used to guide them on proper behavior , cultural history , formation of a communal identity , and values , as especially studied in anthropology today among traditional indigenous peoples . Narratives may also be nested within other narratives , such as narratives told by an unreliable narrator ( a character ) typically found in noir fiction genre . An important part of narration is the narrative mode , the set of methods used to communicate the narrative through a process narration ( see also `` Narrative Aesthetics '' below ) . Along with exposition , argumentation , and description , narration , broadly defined , is one of four rhetorical modes of discourse . More narrowly defined , it is the fiction-writing mode in which the narrator communicates directly to the reader ."

"text": "Art is a diverse range of human activities in creating visual , auditory or performing artifacts ( artworks ) , expressing the author 's imaginative or technical skill , intended to be appreciated for their beauty or emotional power . In their most general form these activities include the production of works of art , the criticism of art , the study of the history of art , and the aesthetic dissemination of art . The oldest documented forms of art are visual arts , which include creation of images or objects in fields including painting , sculpture , printmaking , photography , and other visual media . Architecture is often included as one of the visual arts ; however , like the decorative arts , or advertising , it involves the creation of objects where the practical considerations of use are essential -- in a way that they usually are not in a painting , for example . Music , theatre , film , dance , and other performing arts , as well as literature and other media such as interactive media , are included in a broader definition of art or the arts . Until the 17th century , art referred to any skill or mastery and was not differentiated from crafts or sciences . In modern usage after the 17th century , where aesthetic considerations are paramount , the fine arts are separated and distinguished from acquired skills in general , such as the decorative or applied arts . Art may be characterized in terms of mimesis ( its representation of reality ) , expression , communication of emotion , or other qualities . During the Romantic period , art came to be seen as `` a special faculty of the human mind to be classified with religion and science '' . Though the definition of what constitutes art is disputed and has changed over time , general descriptions mention an idea of imaginative or technical skill stemming from human agency and creation . The nature of art and related concepts , such as creativity and interpretation , are explored in a branch of philosophy known as aesthetics ."

Its key figures were the Italians Filippo Tommaso Marinetti , Umberto Boccioni , Carlo Carrà , Gino Severini , Giacomo Balla , Antonio Sant ` Elia , Bruno Munari , Benedetta Cappa and Luigi Russolo , the Russians Natalia Goncharova , Velimir Khlebnikov , Igor Severyanin , David Burliuk , Aleksei Kruchenykh and Vladimir Mayakovsky , the Belgian Jules Schmalzigaug and the Portuguese Almada Negreiros . It glorified modernity and aimed to liberate Italy from the weight of its past . Cubism contributed to the formation of Italian Futurism 's artistic style . Important Futurist works included Marinetti 's Manifesto of Futurism , Boccioni 's sculpture Unique Forms of Continuity in Space , and Balla 's painting Abstract Speed + Sound ( pictured ) .

Many artistic disciplines ( performing arts , conceptual art , textile arts ) involve aspects of the visual arts as well as arts of other types . Also included within the visual arts are the applied arts such as industrial design , graphic design , fashion design , interior design and decorative art . Current usage of the term `` visual arts '' includes fine art as well as the applied , decorative arts and crafts , but this was not always the case . Before the Arts and Crafts Movement in Britain and elsewhere at the turn of the 20th century , the term ` artist ' was often restricted to a person working in the fine arts ( such as painting , sculpture , or printmaking ) and not the handicraft , craft , or applied art media . The distinction was emphasized by artists of the Arts and Crafts Movement , who valued vernacular art forms as much as high forms . Art schools made a distinction between the fine arts and the crafts , maintaining that a craftsperson could not be considered a practitioner of the arts . The increasing tendency to privilege painting , and to a lesser degree sculpture , above other arts has been a feature of Western art as well as East Asian art . In both regions painting has been seen as relying to the highest degree on the imagination of the artist , and the furthest removed from manual labour -- in Chinese painting the most highly valued styles were those of `` scholar-painting '' , at least in theory practiced by gentleman amateurs . The Western hierarchy of genres reflected similar attitudes ."

"text": "Artistic merit is the artistic quality or value of works of art . Criticism of virtually any art form -- be it music , film , literature , or painting -- centers on the concept of artistic merit , which different critics can have varying definitions of . Many audiences fail to distinguish between the problem of distinguishing art from non-art and the problem of distinguishing good art from bad art : in many cases , people claim that a certain film or song is `` not art '' or `` not real art '' when they intend to say that they do not consider it to be good or successful art . In Western Europe and its daughter societies from around 1500 to 1870 , artistic merit was closely related to faithfulness to nature ( not always as literal , precise transcription but certainly as an interest in some aspect of the physical world ) and sometimes narrative coherence ( in many cases history painting was considered the highest form of art ) and obedience to classical precepts . This criterion , however , has failed for painting with the rise of photography and film . In general , rigid criteria for artistic merit tend to fall apart fairly rapidly and the preferred standards for artistic merit vary across time and place ."

Its typical trait is to present the world solely from a subjective perspective , distorting it radically for emotional effect in order to evoke moods or ideas . Expressionist artists sought to express the meaning of emotional experience rather than physical reality . Expressionism was developed as an avant-garde style before the First World War . It remained popular during the Weimar Republic , particularly in Berlin . The style extended to a wide range of the arts , including expressionist architecture , painting , literature , theatre , dance , film and music . The term is sometimes suggestive of angst . In a general sense , painters such as Matthias Grünewald and El Greco are sometimes termed expressionist , though in practice the term is applied mainly to 20th-century works . The Expressionist emphasis on individual perspective has been characterized as a reaction to positivism and other artistic styles such as Naturalism and Impressionism ."

Its main form of expression was in architecture , but many other arts were involved ( painting , sculpture , etc. ) , and especially the design and the decorative arts ( cabinetmaking , carpentry , forged iron , ceramic tiles , ceramics , glass-making , silver and goldsmith work , etc. ) , which were particularly important , especially in their role as support to architecture . Modernisme was also a literary movement ( poetry , fiction , drama ) . Although it was part of a general trend that emerged in Europe around the turn of the 20th century , in Catalonia the style acquired its own unique personality . Its distinct name comes from its special relationship , primarily with Catalonia and Barcelona , which were intensifying their local characteristics for socio-ideological reasons after the revival of Catalan culture and in the context of spectacular urban and industrial development . It is equivalent to a number of other fin de siècle art movements going by the names of Art Nouveau in France and Belgium , Jugendstil in Germany , Sezession in Austria-Hungary , Liberty style in Italy and Modern or Glasgow Style in Scotland , and was active from roughly 1888 ( the First Barcelona World Fair ) to 1911 ( the death of Joan Maragall , the most important Modernista poet ) . The Modernisme movement was centred in the city of Barcelona , though it reached far beyond , and is best known for its architectural expression , especially in the work of Antoni Gaudí , but was also significant in sculpture , poetry , theatre and painting . Notable painters include Santiago Rusiñol , Ramon Casas , Isidre Nonell , Hermen Anglada Camarasa , Joaquim Mir , Eliseu Meifrèn , Lluïsa Vidal and Miquel Utrillo .

The initial examination of the scene did not reveal any suspicious circumstances , and police apparently believed it to be a suicide . Her husband insisted she would never have taken her own life , and brought about a re-examination of the bathroom that disclosed a suspect footprint . Police arrested a construction worker , an illegal immigrant from Ecuador who confessed to killing Shelly and making it look as if she had committed suicide . Shelly 's husband established the Adrienne Shelly Foundation , which awards scholarships , production grants , finishing funds , and living stipends to artists .

Indeed , in later accounts , `` griffins were said to lay eggs in burrows on the grounds and these nests contained gold nuggets . '' Adrienne Mayor , a classical folklorist , proposes that the griffin was an ancient misconception derived from the fossilized remains of the Protoceratops found in gold mines in the Altai mountains of Scythia , in present-day southeastern Kazakhstan , or in Mongolia , though this hypothesis has been strongly contested as it ignores pre-Mycenaean accounts .
