Описание: Navigating Visual Culture: Theoretical Perspectives on Visual Media brings together an eclectic collection of theory-driven readings to help students understand and navigate the visual culture in which they live.The selections in Section I explore the nature of the visual and how people identify what they see around them, ranging from basic color to visual codes translated by the brain. Section II features readings that address the way people interpret, explain, and understand visual culture, while the readings in Section III give an overview of the various ways people participate in visual culture, whether as members of a particular media tribe, consumers of advertising, or users of personal computers.Each reading is framed by an original introduction that explains its place and relevance in visual culture, and discerning questions to facilitate classroom discussion or serve as writing prompts. The anthology also provides recommendations for supplemental reading and viewing. Navigating Visual Culture is well-suited to undergraduate courses in mass media, and can also be used for upper division and graduate courses in visual culture and new media.

Описание: FREELY AVAILABLE ONLINE AS OPEN ACCESS BOOK!The European Union is now a key player in making lifelong learning and adult education policy: this is the first book to explore a range of theoretical and methodological perspectives researchers can use to investigate its role. Chapters by leading experts and younger scholars from across Europe and beyond cover the evolution of EU policies, the role of policy ‘actors’ in what is often seen as the ‘black box’ of EU policy-making, and the contribution state theory can make to understanding the EU and its relations with Europe’s nations. They consider what theories of governmentality—drawing on the work of Foucault—can contribute. And they demonstrate how particular methodological approaches, such as ‘policy trails’, and the contribution the sociology of law, can make. Contributors include both specialists in adult education and scholars exploring how work from other disciplines can contribute to this field.This is the first book in a new series from the European Society for Research on the Education of Adults, and draws on work within its Network on Policy Studies in Adult Education.

Описание: The first collection of critical essays devoted to the study of English-Canadian literary anthologies brings together the work of thirteen prominent critics to investigate anthology formation in Canada and answer these key questions: Why are there so many literary anthologies in Canada, and how can we trace their history? What role have anthologies played in the formation of Canadian literary taste? How have anthologies influenced the training of students from generation to generation? What literary values do the editors of various anthologies tend to support, and how do these values affect canon formation in Canada? How have different genres fared in the creation of literary anthologies? How do Canadian anthologies transmit ideas about gender, region, ideology, and nation? Specific essays focus on anthologies as national metaphors, the controversies surrounding early literary collections, representations of First Nations peoples in anthologies, and the ways in which various editors have understood exploration narratives. In addition, the collection examines the representation of women in Canadian anthologies, the use of anthologies as teaching tools, and the creation of some very odd Canadian anthologies along the way.

This fascinating volume offers a transdisciplinary and transcultural approach to understanding the senses by exploring themes in anthropologies of sound, sight, smell, taste, touch, and movement as expressed through aesthetic, perceptual, religious, and spiritual experiences. In drawing upon comparative perspectives from Indian and Western theories, the essays demonstrate the integral relation of senses with each other as well as with allied notions of the body, emotion and cultural memory. Stressing the continued relevance of senses as they manifest in a globalized world under the influence of new media, this work will interest scholars of anthropology, cultural studies, sociology, ritual studies, psychology, religion, philosophy, and history.

Muellner Название: German Women Writers and the Spatial Turn: New Perspectives ISBN: 3110378205 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783110378207 Издательство: Walter de Gruyter Цена: 123910.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: In the last few decades, the phrase “spatial turn” has received increased attention in German Studies, inspired by developments within the discipline of geography.The volume German Women Writers and the Spatial Turn: New Perspectives engages the analytical category of space and the spatial turn in the context of German women’s writing. The collection of essays divides its discussion of spatiality in German literature into sections that reflect privileged sites within the current scholarly debates around space. Essays look to such issues as environmentalism, globalization, migration and immigration, concerns of belonging, points of encounter, spaces and places of (im-)mobility, topographies of departure and arrival, movement, motion, or shifting identities. German Women Writers and the Spatial Turn: New Perspectives continues the challenge to understand the representation of space and place in German language texts by focusing on how spatial theory figures into the realm of feminist thinking and writing.

Jahrhundert / The Legacy of the Apostles of the Slavs in the 21st Century: Nationale und europaeische Perspektiven / National and European Perspectives ISBN: 3631659113 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783631659113 Издательство: Peter Lang Рейтинг: Цена: 78710.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Die Heiligen Kyrill und Method spielen durch ihre Bibel?bersetzung und die Schaffung eines slawischen (glagolitischen) Alphabets eine herausragende Rolle f?r die religi?se, kulturelle und nationale Identit?t der Slawen. Die Beitr?ge dieses Bandes aus Kultur-, Literatur- und Sprachwissenschaft setzen sich mit dem geistigen Erbe der Slawenapostel im 21. Jahrhundert auseinander. Dabei stehen Erinnerungsdiskurse und die Schriftfrage im Mittelpunkt des Interesses. Die zahlreichen Funktionen ihres Erbes – Integration, Emanzipation und Abgrenzung – zeigen eine durchgehende Dynamik zwischen s?dslawischen, allgemein slawischen und europ?ischen Entwicklungslinien, die bis ins das 21. Jahrhundert wirken. Somit ist die Auseinandersetzung mit ihrem kulturellen Erbe noch lange nicht ersch?pft. The saints Cyril and Methodius play a prominent role for the religious, cultural and national aspects of Slavic identity owing to their translation of the Bible and the creation of a Slavic (Glagolitic) alphabet. The contributions to this volume, from the fields of cultural, literary and linguistic studies, discuss the spiritual legacy of the Slavic Apostles in the 21st century. The countless roles of their legacy (integration, emancipation, differentiation) demonstrate continuous dynamics between south Slavic, general Slavic and European lines of development that continue to operate in the 21st century. Thus, the debate on their cultural legacy has not yet been fully exhausted.

Описание: Nos connaissances sur l’armee romaine reposent sur cinq categories de documents : les sources litteraires, archeologiques, epigraphiques, papyrologiques et numismatiques. Chacune d’elles requiert l’usage de methodes d’analyse specifiques qui sont l’apanage de specialistes. Or, ceux-ci sont de plus en plus amenes a se concentrer sur leur domaine de recherche afin de repondre a l’accroissement constant de la documentation et de la litterature scientifique, ce qui se fait trop souvent au detriment du dialogue entre les differentes disciplines. C’est avec ce constat a l’esprit qu’a ete organisee a l’Universite de Lausanne une journee d’etudes de 3e cycle consacree a l’armee romaine. Son but etait de reunir de jeunes epigraphistes et archeologues qui tous travaillaient sur le sujet, et de les confronter a des chercheurs confirmes. Le present ouvrage est issu des fructueux echanges de cette journee. Il a pour objectif de montrer l’interet de croiser les methodes de travail quels que soient le lieu ou la thematique, tout en soulignant l’importance de replacer chaque document dans son contexte le plus large, chose seulement possible grace a une collaboration entre specialistes. Ses auteurs esperent ainsi contribuer au renforcement du dialogue entre historiens et archeologues, dialogue necessaire au progres de nos connaissances sur l’armee romaine. Ce livre contient des contributions en francais, anglais et allemand.
