Book excerpt: Excerpt from Five Hundred Curious and Interesting Narratives and Anecdotes: Comprising the Wonderful Book, the Anecdote Book, Sailors Yarns, Salmagundi, and the Domestic Manners of the Americans Vesuvius. - This mountain, the most celebrated of ancient and modern volcanoes, is situated in the south of Italy, about eight miles from Naples. It rises in a gentle swell, till it reaches an elevation of nearly 3700 feet above the level of the sea; commanding from its summit a most extensive and beautiful prospect, including Naples, with its bay, its promontories, and its islands, with the delightful scenery of Campagna Felice. To the west, the view loses itself in the immensity of the sea. To the east, it extends far into the interior, until bounded by the Apennines. The summit of the mountain is in the form of a cone, and consists of masses of burned earth, ashes, and sand, thrown out in the course of ages by the volcano. The crater is extensive, being nearly a mile and a half in circumference, but has not above 350 feet of depth or descent from the ridge. The total number of great eruptions on record is above thirty, reckoning from the celebrated one of A. D. 79, (for an account of which see Earthquakes). One of the latest, though not most formidable, took place in the end of the summer of 1819. The permanent effect of which has been to lower the height of the summit. Etna. - This mountain, as well known, and as highly celebrated by ancient and modern writers as the above, is situated in Sicily. Its height is above 11,000 feet. The ascent, like that of Vesuvius, is very gradual; the sides of the mountain exhibit extensive tracts under different temperatures, and which accordingly have been divided into three regions, called the fertile, the woody, and the barren.

Book Synopsis Ordinary Enchantments by : Wendy B. Faris
Download or read book Ordinary Enchantments written by Wendy B. Faris and published by Vanderbilt University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ordinary Enchantments investigates magical realism as the most important trend in contemporary international fiction, defines its characteristics and narrative techniques, and proposes a new theory to explain its significance. In the most comprehensive critical treatment of this literary mode to date, Wendy B. Faris discusses a rich array of examples from magical realist novels around the world, including the work not only of Latin American writers like Gabriel Garcia Marquez, but also of authors like Salman Rushdie, Gunter Grass, Toni Morrison, and Ben Okri. Faris argues that by combining realistic representation with fantastic elements so that the marvelous seems to grow organically out of the ordinary, magical realism destabilizes the dominant form of realism based on empirical definitions of reality, gives it visionary power, and thus constitutes what might be called a "remystification" of narrative in the West. Noting the radical narrative heterogeneity of magical realism, the author compares its cultural role to that of traditional shamanic performance, which joins the worlds of daily life and that of the spirits. Because of that capacity to bridge different worlds, magical realism has served as an effective decolonizing agent, providing the ground for marginal voices, submerged traditions, and emergent literatures to develop and create masterpieces. At the same time, this process is not limited to postcolonial situations but constitutes a global trend that replenishes realism from within. In addition to describing what many consider to be the progressive cultural work of magical realism, Faris also confronts the recent accusation that magical realism and its study as a global phenomenon can be seen as a form of commodification and an imposition of cultural homogeneity. And finally, drawing on the narrative innovations and cultural scenarios that magical realism enacts, she extends those principles toward issues of gender and the possibility of a female element within magical realism.

Book Synopsis Museums and the Shaping of Knowledge by : Eileen Hooper Greenhill
Download or read book Museums and the Shaping of Knowledge written by Eileen Hooper Greenhill and published by Routledge. This book was released on 1992-01-23 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Museums have been active in shaping knowledge over the last six hundred years. Yet what is their function within today's society? At the present time, when funding is becoming increasingly scarce, difficult questions are being asked about the justification of museums. Museums and the Shaping of Knowledge presents a critical survey of major changes in current assumptions about the nature of museums. Through the examination of case studies, Eilean Hooper-Greenhill reveals a variety of different roles for museums in the production and shaping of knowledge. Today, museums are once again organising their spaces and collections to present themselves as environments for experimental and self-directed learning.
