Old Books, New Technologies - David Mckitterick - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Old Books, New Technologies - David Mckitterick - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

As we rely increasingly on digital resources, and libraries discard large parts of their older collections, what is our responsibility to preserve ''old books'' for the future? David McKitterick''s lively and wide-ranging study explores how old books have been represented and interpreted from the eighteenth century to the present day. Conservation of these texts has taken many forms, from early methods of counterfeiting, imitation and rebinding to modern practices of microfilming, digitisation and photography. Using a comprehensive range of examples, McKitterick reveals these practices and their effects to address wider questions surrounding the value of printed books, both in terms of their content and their status as historical objects. Creating a link between historical approaches and the emerging technologies of the future, this book furthers our understanding of old books and their significance in a world of emerging digital technology.

Rhetoric and Settler Inertia - Patrick Belanger - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Rhetoric and Settler Inertia - Patrick Belanger - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Rhetoric and Settler Inertia: Strategies of Canadian Decolonization explores how communication might accelerate the decolonial process in Canada, where colonization dates back 478 years and counting. Tracing a middle path between Indigenous-focused calls for resurgence, and idealistic appeals to settler conscience, Patrick Belanger explores communication forms that can generate settler support for decolonization. Indigenous flourishing is crucial, and is pragmatic to mobilize the settler majority’s political power. Emphasizing the importance of both Indigenous and settler audiences, the book suggests the promise of decolonial rhetoric framed in the language of mutual benefit.

Portraits - Patrick Heiz - Bog - Park Books - Plusbog.dk

Portraits - Patrick Heiz - Bog - Park Books - Plusbog.dk

It may sound banal, yet it is a fundamental fact in architectural design: All ideas are based on previous ideas, their imitation, inversion, rejection, or adaptation; or on their reinterpretation or ignoration. The same applies to our visual perception and how it influences our thinking and world of ideas. It is actually true for any kind of creation and design. Portraits: Architectural Parables traces these questions through a wealth of images from art history and everyday culture, as well as through analytical and classifying texts. With this book, François Charbonnet and Patrick Heiz, the founding partners of the highly acclaimed Swiss design firm Made in, reveal the approaches they take in their design methodology as well as in their teaching at ETH Zurich’s Department of Architecture and Accademia di architettura in Mendrisio. The distinctive feature lies in the linking and collaging of mutually illuminating, yet apparently antagonistic, programs. Made in’s method does not claim historical accuracy, as sources and facts are intentionally collaged to serve a reductive purpose. The focus is on the potential they see in the cross-fertilisation of different images and ideas rather than on a single, all-embracing model of thought.

Expanding the Category "Human" - Patrick Whitehead - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Expanding the Category "Human" - Patrick Whitehead - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

The climate within the discipline of psychology has changed considerably since the middle of the twentieth century. More specifically, what it means to be a human has changed. In Expanding the Category “Human”: Nonhumanism, Posthumanism, and Humanistic Psychology, Patrick M. Whitehead argues that the metaphysical problems that psychologists faced sixty years ago are not the same ones they face today. Humanistic psychologists could once choose to protect the integrity of human beings as well as to engage in open inquiry and accept all human beings, but Whitehead contends that a choice between the two must now be made. This book is recommended for scholars and practitioners of psychology and philosophy.

Resituating Humanistic Psychology - Patrick M. Whitehead - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Resituating Humanistic Psychology - Patrick M. Whitehead - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

In Resituating Humanistic Psychology, Patrick Whitehead and Miles Groth urge psychologists to return to the aims and goals of psychology as it first emerged. Illustrating how the field has veered from its initial conception, Whitehead and Groth trace its growth from the late 1800s to the humanistic revolution of the 1960s to the current period of social unrest. Whitehead and Groth touch on Wilhelm Wundt’s and William James’s vision for the field; the lasting changes made to clinical psychology, methods of investigation, and psychology of learning in the 1960s; and the effects of isolation, extreme connectivity, and social politics on psychology today. This book is recommended for scholars and students of psychology, history, and philosophy.

Science in the Bet Midrash - Menachem Kellner - Bog - Academic Studies Press - Plusbog.dk

Science in the Bet Midrash - Menachem Kellner - Bog - Academic Studies Press - Plusbog.dk

Science in the Bet Midrash explores the religious thought of Moses Maimonides (1138–1204), one of the most influential Jews of the last thousand years. While covering many aspects of his religious philosophy, these essays focus on the way Maimonides elucidated and expressed the universalistic thrust of the Jewish tradition. Maimonides construed the election of Israel as a challenge, not an endowment. This challenge is ultimately addressed to all human beings, not just to Jews.

The Mirror of the Medieval - K. Patrick Fazioli - Bog - Berghahn Books - Plusbog.dk

The Mirror of the Medieval - K. Patrick Fazioli - Bog - Berghahn Books - Plusbog.dk

Since its invention by Renaissance humanists, the myth of the “Middle Ages” has held a uniquely important place in the Western historical imagination. Whether envisioned as an era of lost simplicity or a barbaric nightmare, the medieval past has always served as a mirror for modernity. This book gives an eye-opening account of the ways various political and intellectual projects—from nationalism to the discipline of anthropology—have appropriated the Middle Ages for their own ends. Deploying an interdisciplinary toolkit, author K. Patrick Fazioli grounds his analysis in contemporary struggles over power and identity in the Eastern Alps, while also considering the broader implications for scholarly research and public memory.

Becoming Other - David Berliner - Bog - Berghahn Books - Plusbog.dk

Becoming Other - David Berliner - Bog - Berghahn Books - Plusbog.dk

Most of us are conscious of having a single and stable self, but the self is more fragmented and plastic than we care to think. David Berliner explores the captivating world of identity through an array of astonishing experiences. From Napoleon doppelgangers to Philip Roth''s alter-ego Nathan Zukerman and Wonder Woman cosplayers to anthropologists going native, he delves into the kaleidoscopic nature of the self and attempts to understand the heterogenous nature of identity. But Becoming Other also discusses a great cultural controversy of our time: who has the right to play at being whom?

The General Will before Rousseau - Patrick Riley - Bog - Princeton University Press - Plusbog.dk

The General Will before Rousseau - Patrick Riley - Bog - Princeton University Press - Plusbog.dk

Patrick Riley traces the forgotten roots of Rousseau''s concept to seventeenth-century questions about the justice of God. If He wills that all men be saved, does He have a general will that produces universal salvation? And, if He does not, why does He will particularly" that some men be damned? The theological origin of the "general will" was important to Rousseau himself. He uses the language of divinity bequeathed to him by Pascal, Malebranche, Fenelon, and others to dignify, to elevate, and to "save" politics.Originally published in 1986.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.

Coming Out Queer Online - Patrick M. Johnson - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Coming Out Queer Online - Patrick M. Johnson - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

The Digital Closet: LGBT*Q Identities and Affective Politics in a Social Media Age discusses how LGBT*Q individuals occupy a precarious space within society as a marginalized community in the United States. They are afforded representation in some venues yet are often invisible. Through social media, LGBT*Q individuals have sought new ways to forge communities and increase their visibility. This rise in visibility afforded individuals means to seek out and distribute information to help in the coming out process. Combining archival research, observation, interviews, and visual discourse analysis of social media feeds, the Patrick Johnson examines the role social media plays in expressions of LGBT*Q politics, culture, and coming out. Despite the messages not having changed fundamentally, the improved access to LGBT*Q stories have amplified the ones that are sent. Johnson argues that this is positive in acting as intervention for LGBT*Q suicide rates, hate crimes, and discrimination from the outside. However, the author also contends that it has vastly re-centered and prioritized white, cisgender, masculinity, obscuring other stories and creating potentially dangerous environments for POC, women, trans* individuals, and gay men who do not meet this high standard of masculinity. Scholars of gender studies, media studies, and queer theory will find this book particularly interesting.

David Lynch - Anne Jerslev - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

And it discusses ways Lynch creates atmospheres by different audio-visual and visual means.

Enlightened Republicanism - David Tucker - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Enlightened Republicanism - David Tucker - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Enlightened Republicanism is the first book-length study of Thomas Jefferson''s Notes on the State of Virginia, which has often been used as a treasury of quotations from which historians, political scientists, and literary scholars have borrowed in order to prove one point or another about America or Jefferson himself. David Tucker examines Jefferson''s work as a whole, arguing that the it was carefully structured. He proceeds to demonstrate that only a deeper understanding of this structure as an integral part of Jefferson''s argument can give the reader a true comprehension of Notes on the State of Virginia. Enlightened republicanism, as Jefferson defined it, was revolutionary, as it fundamentally changed the goals of government and the practice of politics to bring them into accord as much as possible with the complex and varied demands of nature.

David in the Muslim Tradition - Khaleel Mohammed - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

David in the Muslim Tradition - Khaleel Mohammed - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

In Chapter 38:21-25, the Qur’an relates a very short narrative about the biblical King David’s seeking and receiving God’s forgiveness. The earliest Muslim exegetes interpreted the qur’anic verses as referring to the Hebrew Bible’s story of David’s adultery with Bathsheba, as related in 2 Samuel 12:1-13. Later Muslims, however, having developed the concept of prophetic impeccability, radically reinterpreted those verses to show David as innocent of any wrongdoing since, in the Muslim tradition, he is not only a king, but a prophet as well. David in the Muslim Tradition: The Bathsheba Affair outlines the approach of the Qur’an to shared scriptures, and provides a detailed look at the development of the exegetical tradition and the factors that influenced such exegesis. By establishing four distinct periods of exegesis, Khaleel Mohammed examines the most famous explanations in each stratum to show the metamorphosis from blame to exculpation. He shows that the Muslim development is not unique, but is very much in following the Jewish and Christian traditions, wherein a similar sanitization of David’s image has occurred.
