Hans Hollein and Postmodernism Art and Architecture in Austria 1958-1985

Hans Hollein and Postmodernism Art and Architecture in Austria 1958-1985

Set within the broader context of post-war Austria and the re-education initiatives set up by the Allied forces particularly the US this book investigates the art and architecture scene in Vienna to ask how this can inform our broader understanding of architectural Postmodernism. The book focuses on the outputs of the Austrian artist and architect Hans Hollein and on his appropriation as a Postmodernist figure. In Vienna the circles of radical art and architecture were not distinct and Hollein’s claim that ‘Everything is Architecture’ was symptomatic of this intermixing of creative practices. Austria's proximity to the so-called ‘Iron Curtain’ and its post-war history of four-power occupation gave a heightened sense of menace that emerged strongly in Viennese art in the Cold War era. Seen as a collective entity Hans Hollein’s works across architecture art writing exhibition design and publishing clearly require a more diverse complex and culturally nuanced account of architectural Postmodernism than that offered by critics at the time. Across the five chapters Hollein's outputs are viewed not as individual projects but as symptomatic of Austria's attempts to come to terms with its Nazi past and to establish a post-war identity. | Hans Hollein and Postmodernism Art and Architecture in Austria 1958-1985

Revelation Scripture and Church Theological Hermeneutic Thought of James Barr Paul Ricoeur and Hans Frei

Revelation Scripture and Church Theological Hermeneutic Thought of James Barr Paul Ricoeur and Hans Frei

How does God's involvement with the generation of Holy Scripture and its use in the life of the Christian church figure into the human work of Scripture interpretation? This is the central question that this book seeks to address. In critical conversation with the influential hermeneutic programs of James Barr Paul Ricoeur and Hans Frei Topping demonstrates how God's agency has been marginalized in the task of Scripture interpretation. Divine involvement with the Bible is bracketed out (Barr) rendered in generic terms (Ricoeur) or left implicit (Frei) in these depictions of the hermeneutic field. The result is that each of these hermeneutic programs is less than a ’realist’ interpretative proposal. Talk of God is eclipsed by the terminal consideration of human realities. Topping argues for the centrality of doctrinal description in a lively theological understanding of Scripture interpretation for the life of the church. | Revelation Scripture and Church Theological Hermeneutic Thought of James Barr Paul Ricoeur and Hans Frei

Hans Folz and Print Culture in Late Medieval Germany The Creation of Popular Discourse

Hans Folz and Print Culture in Late Medieval Germany The Creation of Popular Discourse

In this study author Caroline Huey analyzes the copious literary output of medieval poet and barber-surgeon Hans Folz in all its variety-whether Meisterlied Reimpaarspruch or carnival play. Heretofore published research to do with Folz's multifaceted and compelling oeuvre has been fragmentary because scholars have restricted themselves by genre in examining themes in Folz's work. By integrating the different themes across Folz's output and by integrating consideration (previously neglected by earlier critics) of Folz's role as barber-surgeon Huey offers new insights as to the interaction of these themes and to the character of the poet's work overall. She shows that ultimately Folz is concerned with the circulation of knowledge and power correct and incorrect behavior and above all with finding order. In each chapter Huey examines a particular theme from Folz's life and/or work. She looks at how adeptly he commandeers the new technology of printing to further his own ends; how his ubiquitous physicality connects his medical body to his Christian body; his attitude toward women; and the anti-Jewish thread in his work. | Hans Folz and Print Culture in Late Medieval Germany The Creation of Popular Discourse

Brainwaves: A Cultural History of Electroencephalography

Brainwaves: A Cultural History of Electroencephalography

In the history of brain research the prospect of visualizing brain processes has continually awakened great expectations. In this study Cornelius Borck focuses on a recording technique developed by the German physiologist Hans Berger to register electric brain currents; a technique that was expected to allow the brain to write in its own language and which would reveal the way the brain worked. Borck traces the numerous contradictory interpretations of electroencephalography from Berger’s experiments and his publication of the first human EEG in 1929 to its international proliferation and consolidation as a clinical diagnostic method in the mid-twentieth century. Borck's thesis is that the language of the brain takes on specific contours depending on the local investigative cultures from whose conflicting views emerged a new scientific object: the electric brain. | Brainwaves: A Cultural History of Electroencephalography

Striking Images Iconoclasms Past and Present

Striking Images Iconoclasms Past and Present

All cultures make and break images. Striking Images Iconoclasms Past and Present explores how and why people have made and modified images and other cultural material from pre-history into the 21st century. With its impressive chronological sweep and disciplinary breadth this is the first book about iconoclasm (the breaking of images) and the transformation of broader sets of signs that includes contributions from archaeologists curators and museum conservators as well as historians of art literature and religious studies. The chapters examine themes critical to the study of iconoclasm: violence punishment memory intentionality ruins and relics and their survival. The conclusion shows how cross-disciplinary debate amongst the contributors informed Tate Britain’s 'Art under Attack' exhibition (2013) and addresses the challenges iconoclasm presents to the modern museum. By juxtaposing objects and places usually considered in isolation Striking Images raises provocative questions about our understandings of cross-cultural differences and the value of representational objects from the broken swords of pre-historical bog graves to the Bamiyan Buddhas and contemporary art. Are any such objects ever ’finished’ or are they simply subject to constant transformation? In dialogue with each other the essays consider this question and expand the field of iconoclasm - and cultural - studies.

Psychoanalysis and Ethics The Necessity of Perspective

Psychoanalysis and Ethics The Necessity of Perspective

Psychoanalysis and Ethics: The Necessity of Perspective is an attempt to look deeply into the relationship between psychoanalysis and ethics and in particular into the failure of traditional psychoanalytic thinking to recognise the foundational character of ethical values. In recent years partly because of the climate crisis the need for an ethical turn in our thinking has been recognised with increasing urgency. Using different historical lenses and with special reference to the thought of the philosopher Emmanuel Levinas and pioneering American psychoanalysts such as Hans Loewald and Stephen Mitchell the author discusses the perspectives needed in addition to those of science if the facts of psychic reality are to be more adequately recognised. In particular this book emphasises the importance of a coherent account of the role of ethics in shaping the development both of the individual and of society. Psychoanalysis and Ethics is essential reading for those concerned for the importance of ethics in psychoanalytic practice and theory and more widely for those seeking to understand the place of ethics and religion in psychological development. | Psychoanalysis and Ethics The Necessity of Perspective

Envisioning Gender in Burgundian Devotional Art 1350–1530 Experience Authority Resistance

Envisioning Gender in Burgundian Devotional Art 1350–1530 Experience Authority Resistance

Illuminated here are the relationships between visual culture faith and gender in the courtly monastic and urban spheres of the early modern Burgundian Netherlands. By examining works by artists such as the Master of Mary of Burgundy Jan van Eyck Hans Memling and Bernard van Orley author Andrea Pearson identifies and explores pictorial constructions of masculinity and femininity in regard to the expectations experiences and practices of devotion. Specifically she demonstrates that two of the most prominent visual genres of the period books of hours and devotional portrait diptychs were manipulated by patrons and spectators of both sexes to challenge and negotiate the boundaries and hierarchies of gender and that marginalized individuals and groups appropriated the types to resist the authority of others and advance their own. Ultimately the books and diptychs emerge as critical and often contentious sites for deliberating and transacting gender. By integrating books of hours and devotional portrait diptychs into current interdisciplinary theoretical discourse on gender power and devotion the author engages scholars in a range of disciplines: art history history religion and literature as well as women's and men's studies. | Envisioning Gender in Burgundian Devotional Art 1350–1530 Experience Authority Resistance

Studies on the Melitian Schism in Egypt (AD 306–335)

Studies on the Melitian Schism in Egypt (AD 306–335)

The Melitian schism originated in the context of the Diocletianic persecution. In 306 under dramatic circumstances Melitius of Lycopolis decided to challenge his superior the bishop of Alexandria. An attempt at reconciliation proposed by the Council of Nicaea (325) was unsuccessful and the Melitians as they were now called often associated with the Arians would become favourite targets of a bitter and polemical Athanasius of Alexandria (328-373). The schism continued to exist in Egypt until the middle of the eighth century. Notwithstanding the rich source material including original documents and papyri the dissidence has received relatively little scholarly attention. This collection of essays by Hans Hauben focuses on the well-documented earliest phase of the schism from the persecution to the Synod of Tyre (335). It elucidates the chronology of the schism the decisions of Nicaea the internal organisation of the parallel church and the tensions in Alexandria caused by its repression as well as interpretative problems posed by the sources. The essays constitute an in-depth assessment of the causes development and meaning of the Melitian schism and together with additional related studies also included in the volume they paint a rich picture of early Christian society. | Studies on the Melitian Schism in Egypt (AD 306–335)

Wallace Stevens and Pre-Socratic Philosophy Metaphysics and the Play of Violence

Wallace Stevens and Pre-Socratic Philosophy Metaphysics and the Play of Violence

This book studies Wallace Stevens and pre-Socratic philosophy showing how concepts that animate Stevens’ poetry parallel concepts and techniques found in the poetic works of Parmenides Empedocles and Xenophanes and in the fragments of Heraclitus. Tompsett traces the transition of pre-Socratic ideas into poetry and philosophy of the post-Kantian period assessing the impact that the mythologies associated with pre-Socratism have had on structures of metaphysical thought that are still found in poetry and philosophy today. This transition is treated as becoming increasingly important as poetic and philosophic forms have progressively taken on the existential burden of our post-theological age. Tompsett argues that Stevens’ poetry attempts to ‘play’ its audience into an ontological ground in an effort to show that his ‘reduction of metaphysics’ is not dry philosophical imposition but is enacted by our encounter with the poems themselves. Through an analysis of the language and form of Stevens’ poems Tompsett uncovers the mythology his poetry shares with certain pre-Socratics and with Greek tragedy. This shows how such mythic rhythms are apparent within the work of Friedrich Nietzsche Martin Heidegger and Hans-Georg Gadamer and how these rhythms release a poetic understanding of the violence of a ‘reduction of metaphysics. ’ | Wallace Stevens and Pre-Socratic Philosophy Metaphysics and the Play of Violence

Hermeneutic Ontology in Gadamer and Woolf The Being of Art and the Art of Being

Hermeneutic Ontology in Gadamer and Woolf The Being of Art and the Art of Being

This volume analyses Virginia Woolf’s novels through a philosophical lens providing an interpretive overview of her works through Hans-Georg Gadamer’s hermeneutic ontology. The text argues that interpretation itself is the central subject matter of Woolf’s novels: in order to understand these novels in all of their complexity and depth it is both useful and helpful to comprehend the interpretive pillars that inform these narratives. Indeed interpretation became a central theme during the Modernist movement and Woolf’s novels took part in this conversation. For his part Gadamer was in important voice in these discussions dedicating his life’s work to the concept of interpretation. Gadamer focused on the universality of interpretation arguing that it is inescapable and irrevocably bound up with existence. In many ways Woolf’s novels represent an enactment of Gadamer’s philosophy as they emphasize the radical questionability of the world—what this interpretive imperative requires of its participants and the potential yield that may result. On the other end Gadamer’s philosophy acquires a concrete praxis when applied to Woolf’s novels. His philosophy hinges on the universality of interpretation as it manifests itself in daily existence; the literary text and its interpretation participate in this universality and is shaped by it. | Hermeneutic Ontology in Gadamer and Woolf The Being of Art and the Art of Being

Fifty Key Thinkers in Psychology

The new edition of Fifty Key Thinkers in Psychology introduces the life thought work and impact of some of the most influential figures who have shaped and developed modern psychology considering a more diverse history of the discipline. The revised text includes new biographies histories and overviews of the work from scientists and scholars such as Alfred Alder Isabel Briggs Myers Katherine Cook Briggs and Karen Horney as well as major re-writes of the works of Freud Binet and Jung and some of the more controversial characters such as Charles Galton and Hans Eysenck.

Comparative Education Some Considerations of Method

Comparative Education Some Considerations of Method

Originally published in 1981. Presented here is a coherent theory of Comparative Education research based on the traditions and innovations established by such pioneers as Joseph Lauwerys and Nicholas Hans. From the author’s substantive studies emerges a taxonomy for education based on Popper’s critical dualism and a way of analysing problems based on Dewey's reflective thinking and the social change theories of people such as Marx Ogben and Pareto. Models of formal organisations drawn from Talcott Parsons show how systems analyses can be made in comparative perspective and how the processes of policy formulation adoption and implementation can be studied. The use of ideal typical normative models illustrates how comparative educationists can penetrate aspects of man's socially created worlds. These techniques are exemplified in succinct models against which debates about education in Western Europe (Plato) the USA (Dewey) and the USSR (Marx Engels and Lenin) can be analysed. Against the crude use of comparative arguments and transplantation of foreign practices Dr Holmes suggests that problems should be analysed and the outcomes of hypothetical solutions or policies should be tested under identified national circumstances. The distinctive feature of this book is that it takes account of the debate among social scientists rejects both induction and ethnomethodology as adequate in themselves and brings together the problem-solving approach favoured by American research workers and the hypothetico-deductive method of enquiry advocated by natural scientists such as Sir Peter Medawar and Sir John Eccles. | Comparative Education Some Considerations of Method
