Book Synopsis Screening Characters by : Johannes Riis
Download or read book Screening Characters written by Johannes Riis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-29 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Characters are central to our experiences of screened fictions and invite a host of questions. The contributors to Screening Characters draw on archival material, interviews, philosophical inquiry, and conceptual analysis in order to give new, thought-provoking answers to these queries. Providing multifaceted accounts of the nature of screen characters, contributions are organized around a series of important subjects, including issues of class, race, ethics, and generic types as they are encountered in moving image media. These topics, in turn, are personified by such memorable figures as Cary Grant, Jon Hamm, Audrey Hepburn, and Seul-gi Kim, in addition to avatars, online personalities, animated characters, and the ensembles of shows such as The Sopranos, Mad Men, and Breaking Bad.
Book Synopsis Shakespeare and the Italian Renaissance by : Professor Michele Marrapodi
Download or read book Shakespeare and the Italian Renaissance written by Professor Michele Marrapodi and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2014-12-28 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shakespeare and the Italian Renaissance investigates the works of Shakespeare and his fellow dramatists from within the context of the European Renaissance and, more specifically, from within the context of Italian cultural, dramatic, and literary traditions, with reference to the impact and influence of classical, coeval, and contemporary culture. In contrast to previous studies, the critical perspectives pursued in this volume’s tripartite organization take into account a wider European intertextual dimension and, above all, an ideological interpretation of the 'aesthetics' or 'politics' of intertextuality. Contributors perceive the presence of the Italian world in early modern England not as a traditional treasure trove of influence and imitation, but as a potential cultural force, consonant with complex processes of appropriation, transformation, and ideological opposition through a continuous dialectical interchange of compliance and subversion.
Book Synopsis Dice... Doodle...Droll...Dance! by : Madhu Kapoor
Download or read book Dice... Doodle...Droll...Dance! written by Madhu Kapoor and published by Blue Rose Publishers. This book was released on 2024-02-08 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book explores the wonders of philosophical thoughts and their delightful effect in such a way that it gives the impression of a buffet with several main courses, desserts, fruits, vegetables, and a pile of absurd things. It challenges one’s faith and pushes one to the brink of the abyss. One is given bits only that are outside any structural-frame-work. The way of thinking delving deep into common sense may demolish the structure of one’s thought. There is no guarantee that the end of one’s inquiry will leave one the same person which one was at the beginning. These pieces are inconclusive-conclusions of paradoxes, which the author crossed across. The writing may look little dicey to the reader but with the tool of doodle it digs the drolling existence to enhance the dancing fruition of the dice thrown on the cognitive-tabletop.
Book Synopsis Oxford Studies in Ancient Philosophy by : Victor Caston
Download or read book Oxford Studies in Ancient Philosophy written by Victor Caston and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-08-11 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oxford Studies in Ancient Philosophy is a volume of original articles on all aspects of ancient philosophy. The articles may be of substantial length, and include critical notices of major books. OSAP is now published twice yearly, in both hardback and paperback. "'Have you seen the latest OSAP?' is what scholars of ancient philosophy say to each other when they meet in corridors or on coffee breaks. Whether you work on Plato or Aristotle, on Presocratics or sophists, on Stoics, Epicureans, or Sceptics, on Roman philosophers or Greek Neoplatonists, you are liable to find OSAP articles now dominant in the bibliography of much serious published work in your particular subject: not safe to miss." - Malcolm Schofield, Cambridge University "OSAP was founded to provide a place for long pieces on major issues in ancient philosophy. In the years since, it has fulfilled this role with great success, over and over again publishing groundbreaking papers on what seemed to be familiar topics and others surveying new ground to break. It represents brilliantly the vigour - and the increasingly broad scope - of scholarship in ancient philosophy, and shows us all how the subject should flourish." - M.M. McCabe, King's College London

Book excerpt: This book contains analyses of the stories and music of nine operas, presented in chronological order from 1791 to 1928.

The operas are Mozart’s The Magic Flute, Beethoven’s Fidelio, Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor, Wagner’s The Flying Dutchman, Verdi’s Rigoletto, Bizet’s Carmen, Leoncavallo’s Pagliacci, Strauss’ Salome, and Brecht’s The Threepenny Opera.
Book Synopsis Contradictory Muslims in the Literature of Medieval Iberian Christians by : Marcelo E. Fuentes
Download or read book Contradictory Muslims in the Literature of Medieval Iberian Christians written by Marcelo E. Fuentes and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-12-03 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that literary and historiographical works written by Iberian Christians between the twelfth and sixteenth centuries promoted contradictory representations of Muslims in order to advocate for their colonization through the affirmation of Christian supremacy. Ambivalent depictions of cultural difference are essential for colonizers to promote their own superiority, as explained by postcolonial critics and observed in medieval and early modern texts in Castilian, Catalan, and Portuguese, such as the Cantar de mio Cid, Cantigas de Santa Maria, Llibre dels fets, Estoria de España, Crónica geral de 1344, Tirant lo Blanch, and Os Lusíadas. In all these works, the contradictions of Muslim enemies, allies, and subjects allow Christian leaders to prevail and profit through their opposition and collaboration with them. Such colonial dynamics of simultaneous belligerence and assimilation determined the ways in which Portugal, Spain, and later European powers interacted with non-Christians in Africa, Asia, and even the Americas.

Book Synopsis Kierkegaard and the Staging of Desire by : Carl S. Hughes
Download or read book Kierkegaard and the Staging of Desire written by Carl S. Hughes and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2014-07-02 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theology in the modern era often assumes that the consummate form of theological discourse is objective prose—ignoring or condemning apophatic traditions and the spiritual eros that drives them. For too long, Kierkegaard has been read along these lines as a progenitor of twentieth-century neo-orthodoxy and a stern critic of the erotic in all its forms. In contrast, Hughes argues that Kierkegaard envisions faith fundamentally as a form of infinite, insatiable eros. He depicts the essential purpose of Kierkegaard’s writing as to elicit ever-greater spiritual desire, not to provide the satisfactions of doctrine or knowledge. Hughes’s argument revolves around close readings of provocative, disparate, and (in many cases) little-known Kierkegaardian texts. The thread connecting all of these texts is that they each conjure up some sort of performative “stage setting,” which they invite readers to enter. By analyzing the theological function of these texts, the book sheds new light on the role of the aesthetic in Kierkegaard’s authorship, his surprising affinity for liturgy and sacrament, and his overarching effort to conjoin eros for God with this-worldly love.
