Sommario/riassunto

In Consuming Painting, Allison Deutsch challenges the pervasive view that Impressionism was above all about visual experience. Focusing on the language of food and consumption as they were used by such prominent critics as Baudelaire and Zola, she writes new histories for familiar works by Manet, Monet, Caillebotte, and Pissarro and creates fresh possibilities for experiencing and interpreting them. Examining the culinary metaphors that the most influential critics used to express their attraction or disgust toward painting, Deutsch rethinks French modern-life painting in relation to the visceral reactions that these works evoked in their earliest publics. Writers posed viewing as analogous to ingestion and used comparisons to food to describe the appearance of paint and the painter’s process. The food metaphors



they chose were aligned with specific female types, such as red meat for sexualized female flesh, confections for fashionably made-up women, and hearty vegetables for agricultural laborers. These culinary figures of speech, Deutsch argues, provide important insights into both the fabrication of the feminine and the construction of masculinity in nineteenth-century France. Consuming Painting exposes the social politics at stake in the deeply gendered metaphors of sense and sensation.Original and convincing, Consuming Painting upends traditional narratives of the sensory reception of modern painting. This trailblazing book is essential reading for specialists in nineteenth-century art and criticism, gender studies, and modernism.

Sommario/riassunto

This book introduces human reconstruction technologies in smart homes leveraging mmWave signals. It begins by presenting the overview of human reconstruction and the development of mmWave sensing technology. The authors introduce a mmWave sensing-based human posture reconstruction approach, which exploits mmWave signals to sense and track multiple users’ postures as they move, walk or sit. It also presents a facial expression reconstruction system that reconstructs 3D human faces and continuously exhibits facial expressions using mmWave. The authors describe a hand gesture reconstruction system that utilizes mmWave signals to generate 3D hand skeletons and reconstruct hand meshes. A thorough investigation of state-of-art research work is further presented covering human reconstruction, mmWave sensing and mmWave-based human reconstruction. Finally, conclusions and the direction of future research are highlighted for this book. Human and the cyberworld are moving towards high synchronization as more IoT devices are integrated in smart homes. By reconstructing human postures, facial expressions, and hand gestures in the cyberworld, a virtual human avatar can map



the state of human into the physical world and deeply integrate reality and virtuality. The process strongly energizes emerging applications such as virtual reality, augmented reality, meta-universe, immersive games, etc. This book targets graduate-level students majoring in the computer science and engineering, and electrical engineering. Professionals working in wireless signal-based human sensing will also find this book a valuable resource.
