Book Synopsis The Commons in a Glocal World by : Tobias Haller
Download or read book The Commons in a Glocal World written by Tobias Haller and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-04-30 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume focuses on how, in Europe, the debate on the commons is discussed in regard to historical and contemporary dimensions, critically referencing the work of Elinor Ostrom. It also explores from the perspective of new institutional political ecology (NIPE) how Europe directly and indirectly affected and affects the commons globally. Most of the research on the management of commons pool resources is limited to dealing with one of two topics: either the interaction between local participatory governance and development of institutions for commons management, or a political- economy approach that focuses on global change as it is related to the increasingly globalised expansion of capitalist modes of production, consumption and societal reproduction. This volume bridges the two, addressing how global players affect the commons worldwide and how they relate to responses emerging from within the commons in a global- local (glocal) world. Authors from a range of academic disciplines present research findings on recent developments on the commons, including: historical insights; new innovations for participatory institutions building in Europe or several types of commons grabbing, especially in Africa related to European investments; and restrictions on the management of commons at the international level. European case studies are included, providing interesting examples of local participation in commons resource management, while simultaneously showing Europe as a centre for globalized capitalism and its norms and values, affecting the rest of the world, particularly developing countries. This book will be of interest to students and researchers from a wide range of disciplines including natural resource management, environmental governance, political geography and environmental history.

Book Synopsis Objects of Culture by : H. Glenn Penny
Download or read book Objects of Culture written by H. Glenn Penny and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2003-10-16 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the late nineteenth century, Germans spearheaded a worldwide effort to preserve the material traces of humanity, designing major ethnographic museums and building extensive networks of communication and exchange across the globe. In this groundbreaking study, Glenn Penny explores the appeal of ethnology in Imperial Germany and analyzes the motivations of the scientists who created the ethnographic museums. Penny shows that German ethnologists were not driven by imperialist desires or an interest in legitimating putative biological or racial hierarchies. Overwhelmingly antiracist, they aspired to generate theories about the essential nature of human beings through their museums' collections. They gained support in their efforts from boosters who were enticed by participating in this international science and who used it to promote the cosmopolitan character of their cities and themselves. But these cosmopolitan ideals were eventually overshadowed by the scientists' more modern, professional, and materialist concerns, which dramatically altered the science and its goals. By clarifying German ethnologists' aspirations and focusing on the market and conflicting interest groups, Penny makes important contributions to German history, the history of science, and museum studies.
Book Synopsis The Art and Vision of Flannery O'Connor by : Robert H. Brinkmeyer, Jr.
Download or read book The Art and Vision of Flannery O'Connor written by Robert H. Brinkmeyer, Jr. and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 1993-07-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flannery O'Connor believed that fiction must try to achieve something on the order of what St. Gregory wrote about Scripture: every time it presents a fact, it must also disclose a mystery. O'Connor's artistic vision was located squarely in her Catholic faith, yet she realized that to view life only through the eyes of the Church was to ignore a large part of existence. In her fiction, therefore, she explored a wider world, employing voices that challenged conceptions of both self and faith, ultimately enlarging and deepening both. In The Art and Vision of Flannery O'Connor, Robert Brinkmeyer presents an innovative study of O'Connor's fiction by exploring the dialogic forces at work in her writing.Drawing on the insights of literary theorist Mikhail Bakhtin, Brinkmeyer offers an explanation for the great depth and power of O'Connor's work, paying particular attention to the ways her art and audience bear upon her regnant Catholic vision. This pressure and resistance, Brinkmeyer writes, free O'Connor's vision from the limits of its perspective, opening it to growth and understanding. After a thorough discussion of the ways in which O'Connor's Catholic and southern heritage helped to form her artistic vision, Brinkmeyer shows how dialogic encounters are at work in O'Connor's interaction with her largely fundamentalist narrators, the stories they tell, and her readers. He focuses on several of her stories as well as her two novels, Wise Blood and The Violent Bear It Away. As the first analysis of the dialogical dynamics of O'Connor's art and vision, this study offers an original approach to understanding O'Connor. But the significance of the book extends far beyond O'Connor scholarship, for Brinkmeyer presents a critical method that has value for exploring other writers, particularly other modern Catholic writers.
Book Synopsis Flannery O'Connor by : Jill Pelaez Baumgaertner
Download or read book Flannery O'Connor written by Jill Pelaez Baumgaertner and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2013-05-01 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "To the hard of hearing you shout, and for the almost blind you draw large and startling figures."--Flannery O'Connor, Mystery and MannersDrowning in a river, the violent murder of a grandmother in the backwoods of Georgia, and the trans-genital display of a freak at a carnival show are all shocking literary devices used by Flannery O'Connnor, one of American literature's best pulp fiction writers. More than thirty-five years after her death, readers are still shocked by O'Connor's grotesque images. Dr. Jill Baumgaertner concentrates on O'Connor's use of emblems, those moments of sudden and horrid illumination when the sacred and the profane merge as sacrament. This readable volume is ideal for college students, O'Connor scholars, or those wishing to better understand southern gothic fiction.
Book Synopsis The Museums of Contemporary Art by : J. Pedro Lorente
Download or read book The Museums of Contemporary Art written by J. Pedro Lorente and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where, how, by whom and for what were the first museums of contemporary art created? These are the key questions addressed by J. Pedro Lorente in this new book. In it he explores the concept and history of museums of contemporary art, and the shifting ways in which they have been imagined and presented. Following an introduction that sets out the historiography and considering questions of terminology, the first part of the book then examines the paradigm of the Musée des Artistes Vivants in Paris and its equivalents in the rest of Europe during the nineteenth century. The second part takes the story forward from 1930 to the present, presenting New York's Museum of Modern Art as a new universal role model that found emulators or 'contramodels' in the rest of the Western world during the twentieth century. An epilogue, reviews recent museum developments in the last decades. Through its adoption of a long-term, worldwide perspective, the book not only provides a narrative of the development of museums of contemporary art, but also sets this into its international perspective. By assessing the extent to which the great museum-capitals - Paris, London and New York in particular - created their own models of museum provision, as well as acknowledging the influence of such models elsewhere, the book uncovers fascinating perspectives on the practice of museum provision, and reveals how present cultural planning initiatives have often been shaped by historical uses.

Book Synopsis The Christian Humanism of Flannery O'Connor by : David Eggenschwiler
Download or read book The Christian Humanism of Flannery O'Connor written by David Eggenschwiler and published by Detroit : Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 1972 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flannery O'Connor was concerned, above all, with man's wholeness and the ways in which that wholeness is broken and possibly restored. Since these subjects are central to so much of modern theology, her religious concerns often parallel those of such influential modern theologians and religious philosophers as Kierkegaard, Maritain, Tillich, Niebuhr, Guardini, and D'Arcy. But the fiction writer is more interested in individuals, even if representative ones, than in mankind in the abstract; and Miss O'Connor's characters are as interesting to the clinical psychologist as to the theologian. In her works spiritual wholeness and incompleteness manifest themselves as neurosis and sanity. And since the spiritually alienated and neurotic characters express themselves in social gestures, Miss O'Connor also presents them in terms of important problems in human relationships, of the destructive idolatry of progress, the dehumanization of urban collectives, and the reduction of other people to objects in compulsive social rituals. The humanistic approach of this study shows how Miss O'Connor integrates many perspectives on man's nature. She may fuse a religious allegory with a Freudian case study into an analysis of despair as precise and suggestive as Kierkegaard's. She may associate a fear of God with a neurotic fear of sexuality, or a religious awakening with the anxious experience of puberty. She may show a perverse, Manichaen religion manifested as a sadomasochistic personality and as a cultural obsession with technology and individualism. She may use mythic and biblical archetypes, Freudian patterns, comic conventions, social stereotypes, and theological systems-all of which she integrates into a view of man as unified as it is complex. Through close analysis of her two novels and her best stories, this study also shows that such humanistic methods are as central to her craftsmanship as they are to the breadth and importance of her main concerns.
