The Strange Loops of Translation - Professor Douglas Robinson - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

One of the most exciting theories to emerge from cognitive science research over the past few decades has been Douglas Hofstadter’s notion of “strange loops,” from Gödel, Escher, Bach (1979). Hofstadter is also an active literary translator who has written about translation, perhaps most notably in his 1997 book Le Ton Beau de Marot , where he draws on his cognitive science research. And yet he has never considered the possibility that translation might itself be a strange loop.In this book Douglas Robinson puts Hofstadter’s strange-loops theory into dialogue with a series of definitive theories of translation, in the process showing just how cognitively and affectively complex an activity translation actually is.

Dance-Punk - Professor Or Dr. Larissa (university Of Winnipeg Wodtke - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Beginning in the late 1970s as an offshoot of disco and punk, dance-punk is difficult to define. Also sometimes referred to as disco-punk and funk-punk, it skirts, overlaps, and blurs into other genres including post-punk, post-disco, new wave, mutant disco, and synthpop. This book explores the historical and cultural conditions of the genre as it appeared in the late 1970s and early 1980s and then again in the early 2000s, and illuminates what is at stake in delineating dance-punk as a genre. Looking at bands such as Gang of Four, ESG, Public Image Ltd., LCD Soundsystem, The Rapture, and Le Tigre, this book examines the tensions between and blurring of the rhetoric and emotion in dance music and the cynical and ironic intellectualizing associated with post-punk.

Utopia and Its Discontents - Dr Sebastian Mitchell - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Utopia and its Discontents traces literary representations of ideal communities from Plato to the 21st century. Each chapter offers close readings of key utopian and anti-utopian texts to demonstrate how they construct, challenge and explore the ideas and forms of earlier utopian writings and the social and political ideals of their own periods. The book explores how literary utopias are often as much about the past as they are about the present and the future. Utopia and Its Discontents covers such topics as: - Early political and philosophical writers, such as Aristotle and Thomas More - Literary works, from Voltaire''s Candide to George Orwell''s 1984 - Science fiction writers such as H.G. Wells, Aldous Huxley and Brian Aldiss - Ecological and feminist texts by Ursula Le Guin and Margaret Atwood - Utopian cinema, from Fritz Lang''s Metropolis to Ridley Scott''s Blade Runner With annotated chapter-by-chapter guides to further reading, this is an essential study for students and scholars of utopian literature.

Iannis Xenakis’s Persepolis - Dr. Aram Yardumian - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Iannis Xenakis’ Persepolis stood as witness to one of the most important events in modern human history, the Iranian Revolution in 1979. Its existence is owed to an invitation to participate in the 1971 Shiraz Arts Festival, which was overseen by Empress Farah Pahlavi. Like the Festival, and the extravagant celebratory party held the same year, Xenakis’ symbolic paean to Persian history was polarizing. Many loved it, others detested it. Overwhelming but also subtle and precise in its non-harmonic shifts in texture and density, listeners and critics simply did not know what to make of it. This book tells the story of Xenakis’ early history and involvement in the Resistance against the Axis occupation of Greece during the Second World War, escape and re-settlement in Paris, work as an architect with Le Corbusier, and distinct views on world history and politics that all led to his 1972 electro-acoustic album Persepolis .
