Book Synopsis The Magic Prism by : Howard Wettstein
Download or read book The Magic Prism written by Howard Wettstein and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2004-04-01 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The late 20th century saw great movement in the philosophy of language, often critical of the fathers of the subject--Gottlieb Frege and Bertrand Russell--but sometimes supportive of (or even defensive about) the work of the fathers. Howard Wettstein's sympathies lie with the critics. But he says that they have often misconceived their critical project, treating it in ways that are technically focused and that miss the deeper implications of their revolutionary challenge. Wettstein argues that Wittgenstein--a figure with whom the critics of Frege and Russell are typically unsympathetic--laid the foundation for much of what is really revolutionary in this late 20th century movement. The subject itself should be of great interest, since philosophy of language has functioned as a kind of foundation for much of 20th century philosophy. But in fact it remains a subject for specialists, since the ideas are difficult and the mode of presentation is often fairly technical. In this book, Wettstein brings the non-specialist into the conversation (especially in early chapters); he also reconceives the debate in a way that avoids technical formulation. The Magic Prism is intended for professional philosophers, graduate students, and upper division undergraduates.

Book excerpt: What if color could be transformed into powerful magic? Forced to move into the palace, Jessa begins training as a Color Alchemist under the direction of the kingdom's most eligible bachelor, Prince Lucas. As an alchemist, Jessa must capture and harness the color of living things. Every color has a unique purpose, except red. Red is the untapped magic no one can access -- until Jessa. The power-hungry king makes clear that if she refuses to do red alchemy, Jessa's family will pay a heavy price. Prince Lucas is running out of time. His mother is deathly ill and healing magic isn't working. When Lucas suspects someone is using alchemy to control her, he sets out to discover the truth. Training Jessa is a distraction, and helping his father turn her into a dangerous weapon isn't what Lucas had in mind. When a resistance group claims they can help, Lucas is forced to examine his loyalty. PRISM is the first installment of a unique young adult romantic fantasy series, where a dystopian world with a victorian vibe meets the dynamic magic of color

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Will Athas return to its former verdant glory—or is it destined to remain a wasteland of cruel, desolate deserts? Rajat, the First Sorcerer, was betrayed by his champions at the moment of his paramount victory. As the only one who can return Athas to its verdant splendor, it is crucial that someone rescue him from his prison beyond space and time. But when Tithian of Tyr leads his former slaves to free the ancient sorcerer, some question his motives.

But before they can discover the truth, gladiators Rikus and Neeva, along with the elven enchantress Sadira, must conquer their own forgotten passions—a trial that proves more perilous than battling the Dragon and his enchanted fleets.

Download or read book The Director's Prism written by Dassia N. Posner and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2016-08-15 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Director's Prism investigates how and why three of Russia's most innovative directors— Vsevolod Meyerhold, Alexander Tairov, and Sergei Eisenstein—used the fantastical tales of German Romantic writer E. T. A. Hoffmann to reinvent the rules of theatrical practice. Because the rise of the director and the Russian cult of Hoffmann closely coincided, Posner argues, many characteristics we associate with avant-garde theater—subjective perspective, breaking through the fourth wall, activating the spectator as a co-creator—become uniquely legible in the context of this engagement. Posner examines the artistic poetics of Meyerhold's grotesque, Tairov's mime-drama, and Eisenstein's theatrical attraction through production analyses, based on extensive archival research, that challenge the notion of theater as a mirror to life, instead viewing the director as a prism through whom life is refracted. A resource for scholars and practitioners alike, this groundbreaking study provides a fresh, provocative perspective on experimental theater, intercultural borrowings, and the nature of the creative process.
