Yes, I seriously read a typographic style manual, but believe me, it was worth it. Not only is this a detailed, informative, and surpassingly witty survey of typography, but it's simply a beautiful book to hold and to read. It's a bit like taking an introductory lesson from a friendly architecture professor, learning about intricacies and critical minutia you had never before considered, and slowly realizing your teacher designed the room, the building, perhaps even the chair you're sitting in, Yes, I seriously read a typographic style manual, but believe me, it was worth it. It's a bit like taking an introductory lesson from a friendly architecture professor, learning about intricacies and critical minutia you had never before considered, and slowly realizing your teacher designed the room, the building, perhaps even the chair you're sitting in, and that the entirety of your surroundings is an expression of the lesson itself. I feel similarly about Tufte 's books, except there the classroom is a church, and the professor is a jerk. I picked this up as a sort of sideways approach to improving my web design planning on moving on to The Elements of Typographic Style Applied to the Web next. I hope I absorbed a little because there's a lot to knowbut I think the main thing I've learned is a finer appreciation for the discipline. Invisibility is the mark of almost all good design, but good typography is hard to see even when you're looking right at it. Words are hard not to read, but at least now I know to at least try and take a closer look. Did I mention this book is hilarious? There's this one note on setting ragged text, in which Bringhurst cautions against giving software free reign over "an honest rag. This means fixed word spaces, no minimum line, no letterspacing, and no hyphenation beyond what is inherent in the text. In a hard rag, hyphenated linebreaks may occur in words like self-consciousnesswhich are hyphenated anyway, but they cannot occur without manual intervention in words like hyphenation or pseudosophisticationwhich aren't. I mean, how many ironic involutions can you fit in a paragraph? I guess paragraphs about paragraphs provide extraordinary opportunities. I'm finding myself increasingly fascinated with and amused by expertise in all its forms, and this book is a prime example. Parts of it are akin to reading wine labels that speak of odors and flavors you could never even imagine, let alone recognize in a glass of wine. The specimen section is particularly wine label-like, where Bringhurst analyzes an assortment of notable typefaces. He describes Quadraat as "not pretty; its beauty is deeper and stranger than that" p. Throw in some talk of ascenders and bicamerality and you've got attributes just as arcane and remarkable as "hay-scented" and "overtones of kumquat. View 2 comments. Nov 07, Carlos Scheidegger rated it liked it. This book convinced me that there is a lot of art in typography. It convinced me that good typography can make a big difference in how good text looks in a page. And it definitely convinced me that Robert Bringhurst is a stellar typographer. But it hasn't convinced me that he can convey this knowledge effectively. Bringhurst has deep knowledge of typography, and the historical chapter on typefaces alone makes it worth your read. However, in many instances he falls into the trap of confusing trad This book convinced me that there is a lot of art in typography. However, in many instances he falls into the trap of confusing tradition with quality, and begs most of the raised questions. The chapter on page proportions, as a concrete example, is pure numerology. His style is a little florid for my tastes, and I feel like his love of the subject matter got in the way of his exposition. If you are willing to read past The Elements of Typographic Style: Version 4.0 and are willing to appreciate just how much someone can love typography, and how it obviously comes through in form and function of this book, I highly recommend it. If you are looking for a guide on specifics, perhaps only a fifth of the book will be of direct use. View 1 comment. Jul 21, Morgane rated it it was amazing. What a beautiful book! It almost doesn't matter what this book was about, because it was so thoughtfully laid out and lovely to read, which is in itself a testament to great typography. But the content was equally good. I learned so much about type, from the mundane technical details to the influence of language and politics. Bringhurst's little jokes and anecdotes are the cherry on top. Anyone who is interested in type, words, history, design, art, and all that is good in the world should read t What a beautiful book! Anyone who is interested in type, words, history, design, art, and all that is good in the world should read this book. Sure, it's simply the best book on print typography out there. That's nice, I suppose, but the content of this book pales in comparison to its form. It's a book on book design that serves as its The Elements of Typographic Style: Version 4.0 case study in effective design.

  • Place in the Poetry of Wallace Stevens and Robert Bringhurst
    The “Cure of the Ground”: Place in the Poetry of Wallace Stevens and Robert Bringhurst by Kirsten Hilde Alm B.Sc., University of Saskatchewan, 2001 M.A., Trinity Western University, 2011 A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY In the Department of English © Kirsten Hilde Alm, 2016 University of Victoria All rights reserved. This dissertation may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopying or other means, without the permission of the author. ii The “Cure of the Ground”: Place in the Poetry of Wallace Stevens and Robert Bringhurst by Kirsten Hilde Alm B.Sc., University of Saskatchewan, 2001 M.A., Trinity Western University, 2011 Supervisory Committee Dr. Nicholas Bradley, Supervisor Department of English Dr. Iain Macleod Higgins, Departmental Member Department of English Dr. Margaret Cameron, Outside Member Department of Philosophy iii Abstract This study analyzes the Canadian poet, typographer, and translator Robert Bringhurst’s (b. 1946) extensive engagement with the poetry, poetics and metaphysical concerns of the American modernist poet Wallace Stevens (1879-1955). It asserts that Bringhurst’s poetry responds to Stevens’ poetry and poetics to a degree that has not previously been recognized. Although Bringhurst’s mature poetry—his works from the mid-1970s and after—departs from the obvious imitation of the elder poet’s writing that is present in his early poems, it continues to engage some of Stevens’ central concerns, namely the fertility of the liminal moment and/or space and a meditative contemplation of the physical world that frequently challenges anthropocentric narcissism.

  • Letter to the Editor* Response to Aaron Glassʼ 2009 Review Essay
    Letter to the Editor* Response to Aaron Glassʼ 2009 Review Essay on The Bill Reid Gallery of Northwest Coast Art Martine J. Reid This letter to the editor is offered as a personal response to Aaron Glass’ 2009 Review Essay focused on the Bill Reid Gallery of Northwest Coast Art, a museum project with which I have been involved. In connection with Glass (2009), this response will address specifically: 1) the curatorial intent in the permanent exhibition of Bill Reid’s precious metal works, namely the division of Reid’s creative journey into three phases and 2) my use of Alfred Gell’s reference to the “techniques of enchantment” in the text panel. Past and current research on the Bill Reid Catalogue Raisonné (BRCR) has informed the curatorial intent for the exhibition Restoring Enchantment: Gold and Silver Masterworks by Bill Reid. I had originally titled the exhibition Deeply Carved: Gold and Silver Masterworks by Bill Reid, but I changed it to its definitive title after reconsidering the writings of Gell, which were seducing as they seemed to relate appropriately to Reid’s concept of the “well-made object.” A catalogue essay, which would have clarified some of Glass’ relevant points, had been planned but time and financial constraints did not permit its publication. When I was asked less than three months prior to the opening of the Bill Reid Gallery of Northwest Coast Art (BRGNWCA) to be the curator of the permanent exhibition featuring Reid’s jewelry, my response to the daunting challenge was to choose a theme and format that would best make use of the Bill Reid Collection (BRC) and would articulate my knowledge of Reid’s works within the larger spectrum of his artistic development and practice.

  • Translating Orality in Robert Bringhurst's a Story
    VOICE IN TEXT: TRANSLATING ORALITY IN ROBERT BRINGHURST’S A STORY AS SHARP AS A KNIFE, HARRY ROBINSON’S WRITE IT ON YOUR HEART, AND WAR PARTY’S THE REIGN by Paul Watkins A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (English) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) June 2010 © Paul Watkins, 2010 Abstract Voice in Text investigates the process of translation that occurs when transmitting oral stories into a written framework with the intention to bridge the gaps that exist between oral traditions and technological scholarship. This thesis explores the potential motives behind Robert Bringhurst’s retranslation of John Swanton’s Haida texts, Wendy Wickwire’s transcription of Harry Robinson’s stories onto the page, and War Party’s use of Hip Hop as an expression of Native identity. Translating (one culture into another and the spoken into the written) can be used as a tactic to reinscribe cultural priorities and also to enact resistance. A storyteller’s allowance of the transcription and translation of their stories can be read as a plea for a listening that functions cross-culturally, a listening in which we can gradually learn to hear the storyteller’s voice in a written context. I apply theories of hybridity and intersubjective approaches to listening in my investigation to uncover how the translator and storyteller engage in a cross-cultural mode of transformation. Because of the highly sensitive nature of translating First Nations literature into a European poetic context, as both Bringhurst and Wickwire do, I explore some of the debates surrounding cultural appropriation, as well as show how potential divergences between written and oral practices interact to question what constitutes a respectful rendering of another culture.

He left to join Trent University, becoming the chair of Cultural Studies when it was founded in 1978. These institutions are remembered in his Inward of Poetry (2011), a memoir of the golden age of English Studies at U of T, seen in the letters of his teachers, and in Virtual Freedom (2002), a mass market novel about Trent that was shortlisted for the Leacock Medal. Kane’s interests fall in the sub-fields of oral metaphysics, ecophenomenology, biosemiotics, complexity theory and (possibly) speculative materialism. These are the intellectual settings of his continuing study of the nineteenth-century Haida thinker Skaay of Qquuna, whom he presents as Canada’s first philosopher. Preparation for this enquiry was made by Kane in his Wisdom of the Mythtellers (1994, 2/e 1998) which was adopted as a text in many places and established him as “an important successor to Northrop Frye” (Literary Review of Canada).

  • ¶ BEYOND the COLOPHON the Elements of Robert Bringhurst Style
    ¶ BEYOND THE COLOPHON The Elements of Robert Bringhurst Style PAM WELLS MMXVII | WELLSWORLD BOOKS Beyond the Colophon: The Elements of Robert Bringhurst Style © 2017 Pam Wells All rights reserved. ¶ INTRODUCTION Twenty-fve years ago, Robert Bringhurst wrote a book which soon became a standard reference in its feld—a feld for which he had no formal training. Today, The Elements of Typographic Style is in its fourth edition, boasting a cover blurb from type designer Hermann Zapf who dubbed it the Typographers’ Bible.1 Crispin Elsted, Bringhurst’s colleague at the University of British Columbia, voices the typographer’s cry: “Consult Bringhurst!”2 I want to know how. How did he do it? What elements in Robert Bringhurst’s life infuenced his ability to write such a book? In this essay I’ll explore what inspired him to embrace typography while making his way as a poet, linguist, translator, author, editor, teacher, and philosopher. 3 4 ¶ A HOUSE WITHOUT BOOKS Robert Bringhurst’s mother left Idaho when she was sixteen and found work as a typist in Los Angeles. The year was 1933. There she met George Bringhurst, an inventor who could turn any machine into another. He could not, however, support a family in Los Angeles. After Robert was born in October of 1946, they moved to Salt Lake City where he had hired on as a junior salesman with Lennox Industries. The next several years brought one move after another throughout Montana and then to Calgary, Alberta. The frequent moves meant books did not travel with them. Mark Dickinson, co-editor of Listening

  • John Reed Swanton and American Anthropology
    ARRIVING AT A COMMON GROUND: JOHN REED SWANTON AND AMERICAN ANTHROPOLOGY BY Copyright 2012 BRADY J. DESANTI Submitted to the graduate degree program in History and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. Paul Kelton ________________________________ Dr. Jeff Moran _______________________________ Dr. Sharon O’Brien ________________________________ Dr. Kim Warren ________________________________ Dr. Ted Wilson Date Defended: August 6, 2012 The Dissertation Committee for BRADY J. DESANTI certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: ARRIVING AT A COMMON GROUND: JOHN REED SWANTON AND AMERICAN ANTHROPOLOGY ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. Paul Kelton Date approved: August 6, 2012 ii Abstract This project examines the life of renowned anthropologist John Reed Swanton (1873- 1953 ) and his work with indigenous peoples. Combining several methodologies that included archaeology, anthropology, history, and linguistics, Swanton’s research methods anticipated ethnohistory. His contributions to Native Southeast studies remain indispensable and his work in the Native Northwest, particularly with Haida and Tlingit communities, continues to serve as an important reference point for many scholars. Reared in the “Boasian” school of thought, John Swanton rejected both evolutionary and racial frameworks in which to evaluate Indian cultures. He remained an exemplary anthropologist from the beginning of his professional career at the Bureau of American Ethnology in 1900 through his retirement in 1944. A key aspect of this study concerns the dynamics of the individual dialogs that took place between Swanton and some of his Indian informants. These interactions provide a window into the ways in which anthropologists and Indians interacted.
