Cabinet 63: The Desert
Angebote / Angebote:
A zone of deprivation and emptiness but also a space for adventure and even divine revelation, the desert has historically resisted human domination, even as it has continued to tantalize the cultural imagination. Cabinet issue 63, with a special section on "The Desert, " includes Maria Golia on the long history of tomb raiding in Egypt, Margaret Spelling on her recent visit to the town built in the Andalusian desert as a set for Italian spaghetti westerns, and Jonathan Randall on climate change and the shifting boundaries of the world's deserts. Elsewhere in the issue: George Pendle on the unusual friendship between RAND Corporation strategist Herman Kahn and performance artist James Lee Byars, Adam Jasper on the surprising history of the "lorem ipsum" placeholder text used universally by designers and publishers, and Volker Welter on visiting sites significant to F.W. Murnau's ill-fated life in Hollywood.
