This volume addresses controversies connected to the testing of the capacities and potentials of mediums. Today we commonly?associate the term "medium" with the technical communication between transmitters and receivers. Yet this term likewise applies to?those who cooperate with agencies that exceed the presumed domain of the material world. Insofar as one presumes a division?between distinctly opposed categories of religion and the secular, technical media tend to be associated with the secular and human?(trance) mediums tend to be associated with religion after 1900. This volume concerns the ways in which the term?medium still marks an overlapping of – and thus problematizes – the aforementioned division between religion and the secular, the?personal and the technological.
The term medium carries with it a seed of doubt that is itself inseparable from investment in the medium's power: insofar as they?communicate with an "other" realm, mediums offer the hope and promise of new possibilities and improved efficiency, and thus of a?better life; yet they have simultaneously been under suspicion of altering (or even inventing) the messages they communicate. It is due?to this combination of promise and suspicion that "mediumism" has tended to evoke scientific, religious, and moral controversies. Thus,?we can speak of a "mediumistic trial" – that is, a process in which a medium is put to the test concerning its potentials and?trustworthiness. Around 1800, experts were asked if a modern secular institution would be capable of inspiring, domesticating or?excluding trance mediumship. This question has stayed with us ever since, and the answers have remained inconclusive. That is why?the past and present of mediumship may be asked to elucidate each other.

Описание: This book presents, for the first time, a coherent, tightly argued history of medieval mediality, which also casts a new light on modern thinking about the medial. Abundance and lack constitute the defining feature of all media forms. These forms always undertake to preserve, transmit, or give access to something that might otherwise be lost, or remain inaccessible or ineffective. But at the same time they are always in danger of disguising or distorting what they are referring to, or of missing their targetaltogether. Medieval culture offers an excellent chance to observe this. In this culture, media forms were places of mediated immediacy. They transported a presence of the divine, but also knowledge of its unattainability. This volume investigates the multi-layered and fascinating approaches of medieval authors to the word and writing, the body and materiality, and their experimentation with the possibilities of media before the concept was invented.

Описание: One of Australias leading scholars and a highly distinguished professor of history, Marilyn Lake forged a career that spanned several decades across a number of universities. Her books have significantly advanced our understandings, not only of Australian social, cultural and political history but also of the interdependence of that history with those of Britain, the US and the AsiaPacific. Lakes intellectual endeavours have encompassed many subjects over her illustrious career. She has made significant contribution to several fields including the impact of war and the history of Anzac, the history of feminism and womens history, gender, post-colonialism, race relations and racial identities, transnationalism and internationalism, human rights, biography, labour history, progressivist social reform, and settler colonialism. The chapters in this book span the breadth of Lakes scholarly influence on the directions historical research is taking today, and are based on papers by overseas colleagues and Australian scholars abroad, which were presented at a Festschrift held at the University of Melbourne over two days in December 2016. Lake has made an outstanding contribution to the history discipline, to the Australian academy, and to the community in promoting Australian history nationally and internationally. This volume is a tribute to her work and a recognition of her enduring influence and leadership in the profession.
Название: Places and Forms of Encounter in Jewish Literatures: Transfer, Mediality and Situativity ISBN: 9004434933 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789004434936 Издательство: Brill Рейтинг: Цена: 146110.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: In the past years, reflections on Jewish literatures and theoretical and methodological approaches discussed in Comparative Literature have converged. Places and Forms of Encounter in Jewish Literatures. Transfer, Mediality and Situativity brings together close readings and contextualizations of Jewish literatures with theories discussed in Comparative and World Literature Studies. The contributions are arranged in five chapters capturing central processes, actors and dynamics in the making of literatures, namely Literary Agents, Literary Figures, Writing Voids, Making of Literatures and Perceiving and Creating Languages. The volume seeks to illuminate the interrelations between literary systems, and to highlight Jewish literatures as a prism for encounters on the levels of text, discourse and culture, and their transformative force.
As Scandinavian societies experience increased ethno-religious diversity, their Christian-Lutheran heritage and strong traditions of welfare and solidarity are being challenged and contested. This book explores conflicts related to religion as they play out in public broadcasting, social media, local civic settings, and schools. It examines how the mediatization of these controversies influences people's engagement with contested issues about religion, and redraws the boundaries between inclusion and exclusion.

Автор: Heike Behrend Название: Contesting Visibility: Photographic Practices on the East African Coast ISBN: 3837624560 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783837624564 Издательство: Gazelle Book Services Рейтинг: Цена: 45760.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Since the introduction of photography by commercial studio photographers and the colonial state in Kenya, this global medium has been intensely debated and contested among Muslims on the cosmopolitan East African coast. This book does not only explore the making, circulation, and consumption of popular photographs, but also the other side, their rejection and obliteration, an essential aspect of a mediums history that should not be neglected. It deals with various "social spaces of refusal" in the local Muslim milieu and in that of traditional spirit mediums in which (gendered) visibility was (and is) contested in various and creative ways. It focuses on the aesthetics of withdrawal: the various ways and techniques that process the photographic act as well as the photographic image to theatricalise the surface of the image in new ways by veiling, masking, and concealing. In a fragmented historical perspective, Heike Behrend seeks to complement, decentre, and counter the history of photography as it has been told by the West and to narrate another history beginning with preceding local media such as textiles and spirit possession.
