Описание: The Star Wars films continue to revolutionize science fiction, creating new standards for cinematographic excellence, and permeating popular culture around the world. The films feature many complex themes ranging from good versus evil and moral development and corruption to religious faith and pragmatism, forgiveness and redemption, and many others. The essays in this volume tackle the philosophical questions from these blockbuster films including: Was Anakin predestined to fall to the Dark Side? Are the Jedi truly role models of moral virtue? Why would the citizens and protectors of a democratic Republic allow it to descend into a tyrannical empire? Is Yoda a peaceful Zen master or a great warrior, or both? Why is there both a light and a dark side of the Force? Star Wars and Philosophy ponders the depths of these subjects and asks what it truly means to be mindful of the living force.

Описание: God is dead, but his presence lives on in politics. This is the problem of political theology: the way that theological ideas find their way into secular political institutions, particularly the sovereign state.
In this intellectual tour-de-force, leading political theorist Saul Newman shows how political theology arose alongside secularism, and relates to the problem of legitimising power and authority in modernity. It is not about the power of religion so much as about the religion of power. Examining the current crisis of the liberal order, he argues that recent phenomena such as the rise of populism, the renewed demand for strong national sovereignty and the return of religious fundamentalism may be understood through this paradigm. He illustrates his argument through an exploration of themes such as sovereignty, democracy, economics, technology, ecological catastrophe, messianism and the future of radical politics, engaging with thinkers ranging from Schmitt and Hobbes to Stirner, Foucault, and Agamben.
This book will be a crucial text for all students, scholars and general readers interested in the meaning and significance of political theology for political theory.
Автор: John Gibson, Noel Carroll Название: Philosophy of Literature: A Contemporary Introduction ISBN: 0415881153 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780415881159 Издательство: Taylor&Francis Рейтинг: Цена: 25510.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Interest in aesthetics has grown steadily over the last three decades, with accompanying philosophical attention paid to the individual arts and the unique philosophical problems each presents. Literature is no exception in this respect, as philosophyers have explored representation, emotion, imagination and other issues germane to aesthetics within a specifically literary context. In this new volume in the RCIP series, John Gibson provides a comprehensive, cutting-edge primer for undergraduates on the philosophy of literature. Gibson synthesizes age old questions and the latest research in aesthetics (including that from cognitive science) as they apply to poetry, drama, fiction, and even comics. Philosophy of Literature: A Contemporary Introduction covers the full range and diversity of its subject, offering clear explanations for both philosophy and literature undergraduate and graduate students. It draws primarily on the contributions of philosophers in the Anglo-American tradition, though it doesn't shy away from important questions raised in Continental philosophy and by literary theorists. While the book is an introductory overview, its chapters and especially its conclusion make a strong case for the importance and broad relevance of philosophical aesthetics to those who are bewildered by its methods or mistakenly suspicious of its value.

Описание: This new text extends the traditional reach of ecological economics into the fields of management and economic policy. Its theoretical basis is brought to bear on actual real world problems and a wider range of policy instruments are introduced as a way of emphasizing that the critical environmental problems we face are not best tackled through a one-size-fits-all approach.
Автор: Fort, Bohumil Название: Introduction to fictional worlds theory ISBN: 3631670761 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783631670767 Издательство: Peter Lang Рейтинг: Цена: 36610.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: The author extensively details, analyses and compares key concepts and strategies of fictional worlds theory: a theory which has, over recent years, developed rather rapidly and is connected with leading scholars in the area of literary studies, such as Lubom?r Dole?el, Umberto Eco, Thomas Pavel, Ruth Ronen, and Marie-Laure Ryan. The book focuses on theoretical suggestions from which the fictional worlds theory borrows its main ideas, that is, logic, semantics, and linguistics. It also examines areas of literary theoretical investigation, in which the fictional world theory has proven itself to be a significant tool for conducting more detailed research, namely intertextuality, fictional and historical narration.
This collection is the first to offer a genuinely interdisciplinary approach to Krzysztof Kie?lowski’s Decalogue, a ten-film cycle of modern tales that touch on the ethical dilemmas of the Ten Commandments. The cycle’s deft handling of moral ambiguity and inventive technique established Kie?lowski as a major international director. Kie?lowski once said, “Both the deep believer and the habitual skeptic experience toothaches in exactly the same way.” Of Elephants and Toothaches takes seriously the range of thought, from theological to skeptical, condensed in the cycle’s quite human tales. Bringing together scholars of film, philosophy, literature, and several religions, the volume ranges from individual responsibility, to religion in modernity, to familial bonds, to human desire and material greed. It explores Kie?lowski’s cycle as it relentlessly solicits an ethical response that stimulates both inner disquiet and interpersonal dialogue.
Автор: Jean-Luc Godard Название: Introduction to a True History of Cinema and Television ISBN: 0981191428 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780981191423 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 106260.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание:
In 1978, Jean-Luc Godard improvised a series of fourteen talks for a projected history of cinema on video. These talks, published in French in 1980 and long out of print, have never before been translated into English. This edition, based on the sole videotape copies of the lectures, corrects the faulty and incomplete French version and is the only complete edition in any language. The volume is accompanied by an essay by Michael Witt thoroughly documenting Godard's various film history projects and by 56 full-page film stills manipulated by Godard and 24 illustrations in his own hand. For this project, Godard screened his own famous films of the 1960s alongside single reels of some of the films which most influenced his work. Working at the dawn of video, a technology essential to his completion of the project many years later, as the visual essay Histoire(s) du cinйma, Godard used pieces of 35mm film, projected in an auditorium, to approximate the historical montage he was groping towards. He then held forth, in an experience he describes as a form of 'public self-psychoanalysis', on his personal and professional relationships, working methods, aesthetic preferences, political beliefs and, on the cusp of 50, his philosophy of life. The result is the most extensive and revealing account ever of his work and critical opinions. Never has Godard been as loquacious, lucid and disarmingly frank as he is here. This volume is one of the great classics of film literature, by perhaps the wittiest and most idiosyncratic genius the cinema has known.

Описание: An Introduction to Film Analysis is designed to introduce students to filmmaking techniques while also providing an invaluable guide to film interpretation. It takes readers step by step through:
-the basic technical terms -shot-by-shot analyses of film sequences -set design, composition, editing, camera work, post-production, art direction and more -each chapter provides clear examples and full colour images from classic as well as contemporary films
Ryan and Lenos's updated edition introduces students to the different kinds of lenses and their effects, the multiple possibilities of lighting, and the way post-production modifies images through such processes as saturation and desaturation. Students will learn to ask why the camera is placed where it is, why an edit occurs where it does, or why the set is designed in a certain way.
The second section of the book focuses on critical analysis, introducing students to the various approaches to film, from psychology to history, with new analysis on postcolonial, transnational and Affect Theory.
New to this edition is a third section featuring several in-depth analyses of films to put into practice what comes before: The Birds, The Shining, Vagabond, In the Mood for Love, Before the Devil Knows You're Dead.
