Tarosophy: Tarot to Engage Life, Not Escape It
AU$85.00 Read MoreAdd to cartMarcus Katz
Brisbane and Chiang Mai: Salamander and Sons, 2015.“Based upon 30 years of studying, reading and teaching tarot, more than 10,000 face-to-face readings and extensive research in the field, Marcus Katz successfully combines academic rigour with invaluable practical experience and breathtaking originality. Suitable for all tarot readers – from absolute beginners to experienced professionals – Tarosophy is written in three sections: basic tarot in a new light for the beginning Tarosophist, intermediate tarot in a magical light for the enquiring Tarosophist, and advanced tarot in a spiritual light for the progressive Tarosophist. From terminology and technique, to reading and spreads, inner work and trees, Tarosophy encapsulates the wisdom of tarot as a living, divine art and science; a dynamic interface between awareness and appearance, and a system to observe, tie and untie the ‘secret knots’ that bind the world. With 50 unique exercises, in excess of 50 illustrations, extensive footnotes, and detailed reading lists, there are more new tarot ideas on any given page of Tarosophy than in some entire texts on the subject.” (publisher’s blurb) This copy with a laid in presentation bookplate signed by the author.

The Reluctant Narrator: A Survey of Narrative Practices Across Media
AU$125.00 Read MoreAdd to cartAna Teixeira Pinto
Lisboa and Berlin: Museu Colecao Berardo / Sternberg Press, 2015.“Often referred to as the “narrative turn,” an explosion of interest in narrative practices at the end of the twentieth century was predicated on the notion that life itself is storied, or—as Jacques Ranciére put it—that the real must be fictionalized in order to be thought. Postmodernism itself was described as a “narrative turn” in which a rekindled interest in the fictive, the chronicle, and the anecdotal upstaged the symbolic unity of high modernism. But as Susan Buck-Morss has noted, modernism and postmodernism are not historical moments, they are political positions: two poles of a recurring movement, expressing the contradictions inherent to the industrial mode of production in the identity and nonidentity between social function and aesthetic form. Rather than opposing a myriad of micro-narratives to the grand narrative of modernism, The Reluctant Narrator attempts to map the migration of narrative modes across several media, bringing together works that intertwine personal biography with historical events, or that deal with stories that fell through the crevices of history.” (publisher’s blurb) Edition of 400.

Sex-Theater
AU$90.00 Read MoreAdd to cartAndrew Gelpke
Zurich & Leipzig: cpress & Spector, 2015.“Andre Gelpke’s series Sex-Theater was produced in the 1970s and depicted performers from a number of different sex theatres in Hamburg’s St. Pauli district. “The fascination that captivated me as a photographer came from the personality of the individual, from the performer who was prepared to realize in public the secret sexual fantasies of an inhibited society, simply in exchange for a fee.” Sex-Theater was first published as a book in 1981 and quickly sold out. The edition produced by Spector Books together with cpress represents a new “staging” of the series: it includes an expanded selection of images and new texts, and is presented in a form that offers this collection of photos a contemporary framing. The era that is depicted here is over, and the decline of these clubs is documented in Sex-Theater.” (publisher’s blurb)

Baptised Among Crocodiles: A History of the Daintree Aboriginal Mission, 1940-1962
AU$30.00 Read MoreAdd to cartRussell Guy
Brisbane: Boolarong Press, 2015.“Sometime around 1930, an Irish pentecostal missionary, Isobella Hetherington arrived at Mossman in Far North Queensland. She was accompanied by an Aboriginal woman named Nellie who was a talented vocalist. Together they began ministering to the Kuku Yulanji Aboriginal people who had been forced to gather in small groups throughout the Daintree Rainforest. Ten years later, a Mission was built on land purchased by the Assembly of God (Qld) beside the Daintree River and 50 to 70 people moved there. For the next 20 years, they grew bananas and pineapples, built homes and struggled with a government policy that controlled most aspects of their lives. This is the story of how, in a rapidly changing world, the Kuku Yulanji and the Missionaries sought to understand each other at a time before Reconciliation became a national objective.” (publisher’s blurb)
