Habitus: A Sense of Place

Habitus: A Sense of Place

Habitus is a concept developed by the late French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu as a 'sense of one's place. a sense of the other's place'. It relates to our perceptions of the positions (or 'place') of ourselves and other people in the world in which we live and how these perceptions affect our actions and interactions with places and people. Habitus implies that a web of complex processes links the physical the social and the mental. Inspired by this concept this compelling book brings together leading scholars from interdisciplinary fields to examine ways in which spaces and places are constructed interpreted and used by different people. This second edition contains updated chapter material together with an entirely new introduction and revised conclusions which recognise the importance of Bourdieu's work. This publication is a tribute to Pierre Bourdieu's remarkable contribution to the fields of sociology anthropology geography political philosophy and urban planning. | Habitus: A Sense of Place

Sensing Sound Evolutionary Neurobiology of a Novel Sense of Hearing

Sensing Sound Evolutionary Neurobiology of a Novel Sense of Hearing

Hearing is a prerequisite for the evolution of language and thus the development of human societies. It is the only major sense whose evolution can be traced back to vertebrates starting with sarcopterygians. The book explores the evolution of auditory development that has remained largely unexplored in contemporary theories of neurosensory brain evolution including the telencephalon. It describes how sensory epithelia from the basilar papilla evolved in the ear and connected dedicated cochlear neurons to neuronal centers in the brain and deals with how sound is converted through sound modulations into reliably decoded messages. The loss of hearing with age is expected to reach 2. 6 billion people by 2050. As such the book explains and reviews hearing loss at the molecular level to the behavioral level and provides suggestions to manage the loss. | Sensing Sound Evolutionary Neurobiology of a Novel Sense of Hearing

Awe for the Tiger Love for the Lamb A Chronicle of Sensibility to Animals

Awe for the Tiger Love for the Lamb A Chronicle of Sensibility to Animals

Respect for animals has always been a part of human consciousness. Poets thinkers philosophers scientists and statesmen have long celebrated our compassion towards Earth's other beasts. Awe for the Tiger Love for the Lamb compiles the most significant statements of sensibility to animals in the history of thought. From the myths of the ancient world to the Middle Ages to Darwin and beyond Preece captures the most telling and fascinating accounts of humankind's relationship to the wild world placing them in historical context. Jung called it an unconscious identity with animals while Wordsworth saw it as the primal sympathy which having been must ever be. Linking the diverse chords of human experience that are touched by the animal world Preece shows that despite a historical thread of cruelty there still remains in all humanity a constant underlying concern for other beings as an integral part of the moral community. With musings and meditations from Lao Tse to Mohammed from Plato to Jane Goodall from classical religion to parliamentary proceedings Awe for the Tiger Love for the Lamb is an original superbly researched history that deepens our understanding of all living beings. | Awe for the Tiger Love for the Lamb A Chronicle of Sensibility to Animals

The Pulse of Sense Encounters with Jean-Luc Nancy

The Pulse of Sense Encounters with Jean-Luc Nancy

This volume stages a series of encounters between the French philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy and leading scholars of his work along four major themes of Nancy’s thought: sense experience existence and Christianity. In doing so the volume seeks to remind readers that Nancy’s sens has many meanings in French: aside from those that easily carry over into English i. e. everything to do with meaning and the senses; it also includes the way they are conducted the direction they take the thrust or pulse in which the circulation of sense exists. Faithful to this plural understanding of sens the writings collected here aim to join Jean-Luc Nancy in the process of making-sense that animates his thinking rather than to deliver a definitive summary of his position on any given issue. They are conceived of as notes along the way documenting encounters as moments of (re)direction and recording the pulse of sense that animates them. In that spirit Nancy himself has provided each contribution with an echo in which he in turn responds to each author and thereby continues their mutual encounter. Aside from these echoes this volume includes an original essay in which Nancy reflects upon the international trajectory of his thinking; a trajectory that is to be and undoubtedly will be continued in many different directions across and around the world. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Angelaki. | The Pulse of Sense Encounters with Jean-Luc Nancy

God and the Book of Nature Experiments in Theology of Science

God and the Book of Nature Experiments in Theology of Science

God and the Book of Nature develops theological views of the natural sciences in light of the recent theological turn in science-and-religion scholarship and the ‘science-engaged theology’ movement. Centered around the Book of Nature metaphor it brings together contributions by theologians natural scientists and philosophers based in Europe and North America. They provide an exploration of complementary (and even contesting) readings of the Book of Nature particularly in light of the vexing questions that arise around essentialism and unity in the field of science and religion. Taking an experimental and open-ended approach the volume does not attempt to unify the readings into a single ‘plot’ that defines the Book of Nature still less a single ‘theology of nature’ but instead it represents a variety of hermeneutical stances. Overall the book embraces a constructive theological attitude toward the modern sciences and makes significant contributions to the research literature in science and religion. | God and the Book of Nature Experiments in Theology of Science

The People of the Book Drama Fellowship and Religion

The People of the Book Drama Fellowship and Religion

Judaism has long derived its identity from its sacred books. The book or scroll - rather than the image or idol - has been emblematic of Jewish faith and tradition. The People of the Book presents a study of a group of Orthodox Jews all of whom live in the modern world engaged in the time-honored practice of lernen the repeated review and ritualized study of the sacred texts. In preserving one of the activities of Jewish life Samuel C. Heilman argues these are the genuine People of the Book. For two years Heilman participated in and observed five study circles in New York and Jerusalem engaged in the avocation of lernen the Talmud the great corpus of Jewish law lore and tradition. These groups made up of men who felt the ritualized study of sacred texts to be not only a religious obligation but also an appealing way to spend their evenings weekends and holidays assembled together under the guidance of a teacher to review the holy books of their people. Having become part of this world the author is able to provide first-hand observation of the workings of the study circle. Heilman's study moves beyond the merely descriptive into an analysis of the nature and meaning of activity he observed. To explain the character and appeal of the study groups he employs three concepts: drama fellowship and religion. Inherent to the life of the study circle are various sorts of drama: social dramas playing out social relationships cultural performances reenacting the Jewish world view and interactional dramas and word plays involving the intricacies of the recitation and translation process. This book will be of interest to anthropologists and those interested in the academic study of religion. | The People of the Book Drama Fellowship and Religion

Role Theory and Mexico's Foreign Policy Making Sense of Mexico’s Place in World Politics

Role Theory and Mexico's Foreign Policy Making Sense of Mexico’s Place in World Politics

Role Theory and Mexico’s Foreign Policy examines why Mexico has an unusual foreign policy for a middle-power country. Using a series of case studies to show how role conflict has operated in Mexico’s foreign policy Omar Loera-González studies three specific settings where Mexico could have displayed middle-power behaviour. First he analyses Mexico’s controversial membership and performance in the Iraq crisis within the Security Council of the United Nations from 2002 to 2003. The second case study examines Mexico’s ambition to display a regional leadership role in regional multilateral bodies like the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) and the Pacific Alliance (PA). In the third and final case study Loera-González focuses on Mexico’s engagement in human rights and democracy promotion. Conflicting expectations from several actors – domestic and external – have led to a foreign policy contradictory to what is expected for a country with Mexico's material capabilities and its foreign policy objectives. This book will be of interest to graduate students and researchers who work on and with foreign policy analysis and role theory or to those with a research interest on Mexico. | Role Theory and Mexico's Foreign Policy Making Sense of Mexico’s Place in World Politics

Imagery and Verbal Processes

Imagery and Verbal Processes

First published in 1978. In this book the author has attempted to present a systematic theoretical and factual account of the role of higher mental processes in human learning and memory and certain aspects of the psychology of perception and language. The major orienting theme of the book is its dual emphasis on nonverbal imagery and verbal processes (inner speech) as memory codes and mediators of behavior. Based on recent experimental evidence the conceptual approach in a sense represents an integration of pre-behavioristic and behavioristic views concerning the nature of thought. The book is intended both as a textbook and as a theoretical monograph.

Concerning Human Understanding Essays on the Common-sense Background of Philosophy

Concerning Human Understanding Essays on the Common-sense Background of Philosophy

First published in 1958 Concerning Human Understanding treats the chief problems of philosophy. Professor Banerjee’s intention is ‘to separate philosophic thought from effects of sophistication and intellectual pride to which philosophical enquiry is usually prone’. The book pursues a line of thought which calls for the replacement of certain old beliefs that are still dominant in philosophical circles suggests the need for a fresh enquiry into some of the problems of philosophy and brings into prominence others which have generally escaped the serious attention of philosophers in modern times. It offers a restatement of the problems of knowledge attempts a solution of the conflict between science and philosophy and handles the baffling problem: ‘is metaphysics possible?’ In particular this book deals with the problem of religion in its bearing upon the future of civilization and finds the solution in an outlook on life opposed to the surrender of man to Institution and Power and founded upon the feeling of obligation regarded as ‘the most human of the forces that deserve to govern the world of human affairs and to shape the destiny of man’. This is a must read for students of philosophy. | Concerning Human Understanding Essays on the Common-sense Background of Philosophy

This is the first book to demonstrate how mnemotechnic cultural commonplaces can be used to account for the look style and authorized content of some of the most influential books produced in early modern Britain. In his hybrid role as stationer publisher entrepreneur and author John Day master printer of England’s Reformation produced the premier navigation handbook state-approved catechism and metrical psalms Book of Martyrs England’s first printed emblem book and Queen Elizabeth’s Prayer Book. By virtue of finely honed book trade skills dogged commitment to evangelical nation-building and astute business acumen (including going after those who infringed his privileges) Day mobilized the typographical imaginary to establish what amounts to—and still remains—a potent and viable Protestant Memory Art. | The Printer as Author in Early Modern English Book History John Day and the Fabrication of a Protestant Memory Art

The Experimental Book Object Materiality Media Design

The Experimental Book Object Materiality Media Design

The Experimental Book Object shows why and how books matter in the 21st century. Digital and audio platforms are commonplace and other fields of art beyond literature have increasingly embraced books and publication as their medium of choice. Nevertheless the manifold book object persists and continues to inspire various types of experimentation. This volume sets forth an unprecedented approach where literary and media theory are entangled with design practitioners’ artistic research and process descriptions. By probing the paradigm of the codex this collection of essays focuses on historical and contemporary experimentation that has challenged what books are and could be from the perspectives of materiality mediation and visual and typographic design. Investigations into less-studied areas and cases of performativity demonstrate what experimental books do by interacting with their systemic and cultural environments. The volume offers a multifaceted and multidisciplinary view of the book object the book design and publishing processes and their significance in the digital age. | The Experimental Book Object Materiality Media Design
