Frankenstein Urbanism Eco Smart and Autonomous Cities Artificial Intelligence and the End of the City

Frankenstein Urbanism Eco Smart and Autonomous Cities Artificial Intelligence and the End of the City

This book tells the story of visionary urban experiments shedding light on the theories that preceded their development and on the monsters that followed and might be the end of our cities. The narrative is threefold and delves first into the eco-city second the smart city and third the autonomous city intended as a place where existing smart technologies are evolving into artificial intelligences that are taking the management of the city out of the hands of humans. The book empirically explores Masdar City in Abu Dhabi and Hong Kong to provide a critical analysis of eco and smart city experiments and their sustainability and it draws on numerous real-life examples to illustrate the rise of urban artificial intelligences across different geographical spaces and scales. Theoretically the book traverses philosophy urban studies and planning theory to explain the passage from eco and smart cities to the autonomous city and to reflect on the meaning and purpose of cities in a time when human and non-biological intelligences are irreversibly colliding in the built environment. Iconoclastic and prophetic Frankenstein Urbanism is both an examination of the evolution of urban experimentation through the lens of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and a warning about an urbanism whose product resembles Frankenstein’s monster: a fragmented entity which escapes human control and human understanding. Academics students and practitioners will find in this book the knowledge that is necessary to comprehend and engage with the many urban experiments that are now alive ready to leave the laboratory and enter our cities. | Frankenstein Urbanism Eco Smart and Autonomous Cities Artificial Intelligence and the End of the City

The Routledge Handbook of Classics and Queer Theory

The Routledge Handbook of Classics and Queer Theory

New directions in queer theory continue to trouble the boundaries of both queerness and the classical leading to an explosion of new work in the vast—and increasingly uncharted—intersection between these disciplines which this interdisciplinary volume seeks to explore. This handbook convenes an international group of experts who work on the classical world and queer theory. The discipline of Classics has been involved with and implicated in queer theory from the start. By placing front and center the rejection of heteronormativity queer theory has provided Classics with a powerful tool for analyzing non-normative sexual and gender relations in the ancient West while Classics offers queer theory ancient material (such as literature visual arts and social practices) that challenges a wide range of modern normative categories. The collection demonstrates the vitality of this particular moment in queer classical studies featuring an expansive array of methodologies applied to the interdisciplinary field of Classics. Embracing the indeterminacy that lies at the core of queer studies the essays in this volume are organized not by chronology or genre but rather by overlapping categories under the following rubrics: queer subjectivities queer times and places queer kinships queer receptions and ancient pasts/queer futures. The Routledge Handbook of Classics and Queer Theory offers an invaluable collection for anyone working on queer theory especially as it applies to premodern periods; it will also be of interest to scholars engaging with the history of sexuality both in the ancient world and more broadly.

Critical Ancient World Studies The Case for Forgetting Classics

Critical Ancient World Studies The Case for Forgetting Classics

This volume explores and elucidates critical ancient world studies (CAWS) a new model for the study of the ancient world operating critically setting itself against a long history of a discipline formulated to naturalise a hierarchical white supremacist origin story for an imagined modern West. CAWS is a methodology for the study of antiquity that shifts away from the assumptions and approaches of the discipline known as classical studies and/or classics. Although it seeks to reckon with the discipline’s colonial history it is not simply the application of decolonial theory or the search to uncover subaltern narratives in a subject that has special relevance to the privileged and powerful. Rather it dismantles the structures of knowledge that have led to this privileging and questions the categories ideas themes narratives and epistemological structures that have been deemed objective and essential within the inherited discipline of classics. The contributions in this book by an international group of researchers offer a variety of situated embodied perspectives on the question of how to imagine a more critical discipline rather than a unified single view. The volume is divided into four parts – “Critical Epistemologies” “Critical Philologies” “Critical Time and Critical Space” and “Critical Approaches” – and uses these as spaces to propose disciplinary transformation. Critical Ancient World Studies: The Case for Forgetting Classics is a must-read for scholars and practitioners teaching in the field of classical studies and the breadth of examples also makes it an invaluable resource for anyone working on the ancient world or on confronting Eurocentrism within other disciplines.

Philosophic Classics: Ancient Philosophy Volume I

Philosophic Classics: Ancient Philosophy Volume I

This seventh edition of Philosophic Classics Volume I: Ancient Philosophy includes essential writings of the most important Greek philosophers along with selections from some of their Roman followers. In updating this edition editor Forrest E. Baird has continued to follow the same criteria established by the late Walter Kaufmann when the Philosophic Classics series was first established: (1) to use complete works or where more appropriate complete sections of works (2) in clear translations (3) of texts central to the thinker’s philosophy or widely accepted as part of the canon. To make the works more accessible to students most footnotes treating textual matters (variant readings etc. ) have been omitted and important Greek words have been transliterated and put in angle brackets. In addition each thinker is introduced by a brief essay composed of three sections: (1) biographical (a glimpse of the life) (2) philosophical (a résumé of the philosopher’s thought) and (3) bibliographical (suggestions for further reading). New to this seventh edition: Changes in translations: New translations of Plato’s Apology and Phaedo and Aristotle’s Nichomachean Ethics and Politics from the acclaimed Focus Philosophical Library Series. New translations of Plato’s Euthyphro and Crito. New translations of Epicurus’s Letter to Herodotus Letter to Menoeceus and Principal Doctrines. New translation of the Parmenides fragments. Additional material: Gorgias’s model oration Encomium on Helen which gives a defense of Helen of Troy. A selection from Plato’s Gorgias on nature versus convention or law . Additional material from the opening of Plato’s Symposium to contextualize the dialogue. Additional material from Plato’s Republic (Book IX) on the tri-partite soul. Additional material from Aristotle’s Metaphysics (Book IV 1-4 7) on the nature of being and the so-called three rules of thought. A brief selection from Porphyry’s Life of Plotinus giving a sense of the person. Updated and reorganized bibliographies. To allow for all these changes a section of Book V from Plato’s Republic has been dropped. Those who use this first volume in a one-term course in ancient philosophy will find more material here than can easily fit a normal semester. But this embarrassment of riches gives teachers some choice and for those who offer the same course year after year an opportunity to change the menu. | Philosophic Classics: Ancient Philosophy Volume I

A People's History of Classics Class and Greco-Roman Antiquity in Britain and Ireland 1689 to 1939

A People's History of Classics Class and Greco-Roman Antiquity in Britain and Ireland 1689 to 1939

A People’s History of Classics explores the influence of the classical past on the lives of working-class people whose voices have been almost completely excluded from previous histories of classical scholarship and pedagogy in Britain and Ireland from the late 17th to the early 20th century. This volume challenges the prevailing scholarly and public assumption that the intimate link between the exclusive intellectual culture of British elites and the study of the ancient Greeks and Romans and their languages meant that working-class culture was a ‘Classics-Free Zone’. Making use of diverse sources of information both published and unpublished in archives museums and libraries across the United Kingdom and Ireland Hall and Stead examine the working-class experience of classical culture from the Bill of Rights in 1689 to the outbreak of World War II. They analyse a huge volume of data from individuals groups regions and activities in a huge range of sources including memoirs autobiographies Trade Union collections poetry factory archives artefacts and documents in regional museums. This allows a deeper understanding not only of the many examples of interaction with the Classics but also what these cultural interactions signified to the working poor: from the promise of social advancement to propaganda exploited by the elites to covert and overt class war. A People’s History of Classics offers a fascinating and insightful exploration of the many and varied engagements with Greece and Rome among the working classes in Britain and Ireland and is a must-read not only for classicists but also for students of British and Irish social intellectual and political history in this period. Further it brings new historical depth and perspectives to public debates around the future of classical education and should be read by anyone with an interest in educational policy in Britain today. | A People's History of Classics Class and Greco-Roman Antiquity in Britain and Ireland 1689 to 1939

Interpretation and Intellectual Change Chinese Hermeneutics in Historical Perspective

Interpretation and Intellectual Change Chinese Hermeneutics in Historical Perspective

This volume deals with the development of Chinese hermeneutics or exegetic systems from their beginnings to the twentieth century. The contributors address critical issues in the study of Chinese hermeneutics by focusing on key periods during which the hermeneutic tradition in China underwent significant changes. The volume is divided into six parts corresponding to the six major periods of intellectual change in traditional and contemporary China. Part 1 considers the foundational period of Chinese hermeneutics examining Confucian classics such as the Analects Mencius and the Book of Odes. Part 2 traces the broadening of the hermeneutic tradition from Confucian classics to the military canon political discourse astronomy and Buddhist exegesis from the Han to the Chinese Middle Ages. In Part 3 the focus is on Zhu Xi's monumental synthesis and redefinition of the Confucian tradition at the beginning of the early modern period. His vision of Confucian thought remained influential throughout the imperial period and his interpretations of the Confucian classics became state orthodoxy starting with the thirteenth century. Part 4 focuses on this challenge and discusses the intellectual changes that took place during the late imperial period and their profound effects on Chinese hermeneutics. Part 5 documents the challenges to traditional Chinese hermeneutics in the modern era and the emergence of a new critical hermeneutics in the beginning of the twentieth century. The volume concludes with Part 6 which explores Chinese hermeneutics from a comparative perspective and identifies its distinctive features. The understanding of Chinese hermeneutics gained from these essays is that of a dynamic plurality of traditions that has endured into the twentieth century and continues to shape contemporary intellectual debates. | Interpretation and Intellectual Change Chinese Hermeneutics in Historical Perspective

Greek and Roman Painting and the Digital Humanities

Greek and Roman Painting and the Digital Humanities

This volume is a groundbreaking discussion of the role of digital media in research on ancient painting and a deep reflection on the effectiveness of digital media in opening the field to new audiences. The study of classical art always oscillates between archaeology and classics between the study of ancient texts and archaeological material. For this reason it is often difficult to collect all the data to have access to both types of information on an equal basis. The increasing development of digital collections and databases dedicated to both archaeological material and ancient texts is a direct response to this problem. The book’s central theme is the role of the digital humanities especially digital collection s such as the Digital Milliet in the study of ancient Greek and Roman painting. Part 1 focuses on the transition between the original print version of the Recueil Milliet and its digital incarnation. Part 2 addresses the application of digital tools to the analysis of ancient art. Part 3 focuses on ancient wall painting. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history classics archaeology and digital humanities. | Greek and Roman Painting and the Digital Humanities

Waiting for God

Waiting for God

'You cannot get far in these essays without sensing yourself in the presence of a writer of immense intellectual power and fierce independence of mind. ' - Janet Soskice from the Introduction to the Routledge Classics edition Simone Weil (1909–1943) is one of the most brilliant and unorthodox religious and philosophical thinkers of the twentieth century. She was also a political activist who worked in the Renault car factory in France in the 1930s and fought briefly as an anarchist in the Spanish Civil War. Hailed by Albert Camus as 'the only great spirit of our times ' her work spans an astonishing variety of subjects from ancient Greek philosophy and Christianity to oppression political freedom and French national identity. Waiting for God is one of her most remarkable books full of piercing spiritual and moral insight. The first part comprises letters she wrote in 1942 to Jean-Marie Perrin a Dominican priest and demonstrate the intense inner conflict Weil experienced as she wrestled with the demands of Christian belief and commitment. She then explores the 'just balance' of the world arguing that we should regard God as providing two forms of guidance: our ability as human beings to think for ourselves; and our need for both physical and emotional 'matter. ' She also argues for the concept of a 'sacred longing'; that humanity's search for beauty both in the world and within each other is driven by our underlying desire for a tangible god. Eloquent and inspiring Waiting for God asks profound questions about the nature of faith doubt and morality that continue to resonate today. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new Introduction by Janet Soskice and retains the Foreword to the 1979 edition by Malcolm Muggeridge.
