| Aperspectivity | in his book Ursprung und Gegenwart (published in English as The Ever-Present Origin), the German philosopher Jean Gebser (1905-1973) argued that the development of human culture (particularly the structure of consciousness) involves transitions through a series of stages, called archaic, magical, mythical (time is cyclical/rhythmic and space is enclosed), mental (time is linear, directed or "progressive" and space is the box-like homogeneous space of geometry - a vacuum) and integral. The integral phase was characterised by the overthrow of dualistic thinking, the reincorporation of the mythical and magical along with the rationalism of the Enlightenment, and a move from the perspectivity of the Renaissance (itself arising from the unperspectivity that had come before) to aperspectivity (time is incorporated into space, past, present and future become one undifferentiated whole).

He was also a god of light, known as Phoebus (radiant or beaming, and he was sometimes identified with Helios the sun god). He was also the god of plague and was worshiped as Smintheus (from sminthos, rat) and as Parnopius (from parnops, grasshopper) and was known as the destroyer of rats and locust, and according to Homer's Iliad, Apollo shot arrows of plague into the Greek camp. Apollo being the god of religious healing would give those guilty of murder and other immoral deeds a ritual purification. His attributes are the bow and arrows, on his head a laurel crown, and the cithara (or lyre) and plectrum. But his most famous attribute is the tripod, the symbol of his prophetic powers | |||||||||

| Appalachian dulcimer | the dulcimer is one of the few old American stringed instruments. It's ancestor, the scheitholt, was found in the late 1700s in Pennsylvania. The Appalachian people changed this instrument and came up with the dulcimer in the 1800s. The word dulcimer means 'sweet song', and that describes it well. The Appalachian dulcimer is shaped like an hourglass, or like a woman, as many say. In those days women playing a stringed instrument were not allowed to stand in front of the men. So, they played the dulcimer, which was played on the lap. Originally the dulcimer was strummed with a quill. It can be played with a pick, bowed, fingerpicked, or with a short piece of dowel called a 'noter'. Different playing styles are used to bring out different sounds. Many chords can also be played on this instrument. Dulcimers are handmade and very beautiful. Most dulcimers have three to five strings, and while tuning modes can vary, usually only the first string is used to play melody, while the other strings provide drone accompaniment and backing chords. The Appalachian dulcimer is named and designated as the official musical instrument of Kentucky (effective: June 21, 2001) | |||||||||

| Apple of discord | the origin of the 'apple of discord' has its roots in ancient Greek mythology and, in particular, the cause of the Trojan War which had as its roots the marriage between Peleus and Thetis, a sea-goddess. Peleus and Thetis had not invited Eris, the goddess of discord, to their marriage celebrations. Univited, the goddess stormed into the wedding banquet and threw a golden apple onto the table. The apple belonged to, Eris said, whomever was the fairest. Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite each reached for the apple. Zeus proclaimed that Paris, prince of Troy and thought to be the most beautiful man alive, would act as the judge. Hermes went to Paris, and Paris agreed to act as the judge. Hera promised him power, Athena promised him wealth, and Aphrodite promised the most beautiful woman in the world. Paris favoured Aphrodite, and she promised him that Helen, wife of Menelaus, would be his wife | |||||||||

| Applied arts | the arts concerned with making objects with functional purposes, but for which aesthetic concerns are significant. The applied arts may include architecture, interior design, the design of manufactured items, ceramics, metalwork, jewelry, textile, glass, furniture, graphics, clocks and watches, toys, leather, arms and armor, musical instruments, etc. Commercial art may be considered a branch of applied art. The applied arts are usually contrasted with the fine arts (drawing, painting, sculpture, fine printmaking, etc.), which are seen as serving no purpose other than providing an aesthetic experience. Most of the applied arts might also be described as design. The distinction between the applied and the fine arts did not emerge strongly until the time of the Industrial Revolution (about 1775-1875), and accompanied a growing secularization of art and the emergence of a need felt by some artists to replace dying spiritual values with purely aesthetic values, setting art apart from the rest of life. Nevertheless, some have emphasized the importance of craft and regard the distinction between the fine and the applied arts as false and undesirable. Even to those who see it as important to make this distinction, many objects make it very difficult because their purposes are so dominated by their aesthetic ones | |||||||||
