The Printer as Author in Early Modern English Book History John Day and the Fabrication of a Protestant Memory Art

The Printer as Author in Early Modern English Book History John Day and the Fabrication of a Protestant Memory Art

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

Memory Fragmentation from Below and Beyond the State Uses of the Past in Conflict and Post-conflict Settings

Memory Fragmentation from Below and Beyond the State Uses of the Past in Conflict and Post-conflict Settings

This volume suggests a model of collective memory that distinguishes between two conceptual logics of memory fragmentation: vertical fragmentation and horizontal fragmentation. It offers a series of case studies of conflict and post-conflict collective memory shedding light on the ways various actors participate in the production dissemination and contestation of memory discourses. With attention to the characteristics of both vertical and horizontal memory fragmentation the book addresses the plurality of diverging and often conflicting memory discourses that are produced within the public sphere of a given community. It analyzes the juxtaposition tensions and interactions between narratives produced beyond or below the central state often transcending national boundaries. The book is structured according to the type of actors involved in a memory fragmentation process. It explores how states have been trying to produce and impose memory discourses on civil societies sometimes even against the experiences of their own citizens and how such efforts as well as backlash from actors below and beyond the state have led to horizontal and vertical memory fragmentation. Furthermore it considers the attempts by states’ representatives to reassert control of national memory discourses and the subsequent resistances they face. As such this volume will appeal to sociology and political science scholars interested in memory studies in post-conflict societies. | Memory Fragmentation from Below and Beyond the State Uses of the Past in Conflict and Post-conflict Settings

The “Socialist Transformation” of Memory Reversing Chinese History through “Pernicious-Vestiges” Media Discourse

The “Socialist Transformation” of Memory Reversing Chinese History through “Pernicious-Vestiges” Media Discourse

Through discourse analysis and a historical comparison of “Pernicious-Vestiges” narratives in the news text of People’s Daily this book is devoted to revealing primary metaphors of “Pernicious-Vestiges” and political functions in China. “Pernicious-Vestiges” (Yí Dú 遗毒) is one of the most frequently used words in contemporary Chinese historical narration as well as a constantly changing rhetorical direction in New China’s media discourse whose function is to remold memory. Over the past 76 years the “Pernicious-Vestiges” narrative continuously constructed by People’s Daily the official newspaper of the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party have reflected the views of China’s political elite and represented the ruling party’s evaluation and reevaluation of historical events. The findings of this book challenge the myth that memory is naturally superior to forgetting reflect on the ethics of memory in “Pernicious-Vestiges” narratives and the erasure of their own justice and suggest that the critical space compressed by “Pernicious-Vestiges” narratives should be returned to restore the order of memory and historical reflection. This book will be an excellent read for students and scholars of Chinese studies media studies and those who are interested in political communication and collective memory in general. | The “Socialist Transformation” of Memory Reversing Chinese History through “Pernicious-Vestiges” Media Discourse

Patriotic History and the (Re)Nationalization of Memory

Patriotic History and the (Re)Nationalization of Memory

This book charts and traces state-mandated or state-encouraged “patriotic” histories that have recently emerged in many places around the globe. Such “patriotic” histories can revolve around both affirmative interpretations of the past and celebration of national achievements. They can also entail explicitly denialist stances against acknowledging responsibility for past atrocities even to the extent of celebrating perpetrators. Whereas in some cases “patriotic” history takes the shape of a coherent doctrine in others they remain limited to loosely connected narratives. By combining nationalist and narcissist narratives and by disregarding or distorting historical evidence “patriotic” history promotes mythified monumental and moralistic interpretations of the past that posit partisan and authoritarian essentialisms and exceptionalisms. Whereas the global debates in interdisciplinary memory studies revolve around concepts like cosmopolitan global multidirectional relational transcultural and transnational memory to mention but a few the actual socio-political uses of history remain strikingly nation-centred and one-dimensional. This volume collects fifteen caste studies of such “nationalizations of history” ranging from China to the Baltic states. They highlight three features of this phenomenon: the ruthlessness of methods applied by many state authorities to impose certain interpretations of the past the increasing discrepancy between professional and political approaches to collective memory and the new “post-truth” context. This book will be of interest to students and researchers of international politics the radical right and global history. It was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Genocide Research. | Patriotic History and the (Re)Nationalization of Memory

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

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

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

Déjà vu and Other Dissociative States in Memory

This book collates the work of world-leading researchers on déjà vu and other dissociative states of memory and presents a snapshot of the state of the art in research on these strange phenomena. Déjà vu is the eerie feeling of familiarity for something that you know you have not experienced before—the dissociation between what you feel about your memory and what you know to be true about it. For centuries it has inspired authors artists and musicians leaving psychologists struggling to keep up. The past 20 years though has seen an explosion in research on déjà vu and related experiences. From attempts to generate déjà vu in the laboratory to the study of patients who present with unusual forms of the experience cognitive psychology has begun applying a range of both novel and established techniques to study these psychological experiences that have long captivated the public imagination. Déjà vu and Other Dissociative States in Memory is an insightful resource for scholars and researchers of Psychology including Cognitive Psychology and Neuroscience.
