Book Synopsis The Modern Invention of Information by : Ronald E Day
Download or read book The Modern Invention of Information written by Ronald E Day and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 2008-02-20 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Modern Invention of Information: Discourse, History, and Power, Ronald E. Day provides a historically informed critical analysis of the concept and politics of information. Analyzing texts in Europe and the United States, his critical reading method goes beyond traditional historiographical readings of communication and information by engaging specific historical texts in terms of their attempts to construct and reshape history. After laying the groundwork and justifying his method of close reading for this study, Day examines the texts of two pre–World War II documentalists, Paul Otlet and Suzanne Briet. Through the work of Otlet and Briet, Day shows how documentation and information were associated with concepts of cultural progress. Day also discusses the social expansion of the conduit metaphor in the works of Warren Weaver and Norbert Wiener. He then shows how the work of contemporary French multimedia theorist Pierre Lévy refracts the earlier philosophical writings of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari through the prism of the capitalist understanding of the “virtual society.” Turning back to the pre–World War II period, Day examines two critics of the information society: Martin Heidegger and Walter Benjamin. He explains Heidegger’s philosophical critique of the information culture’s model of language and truth as well as Benjamin’s aesthetic and historical critique of mass information and communication. Day concludes by contemplating the relation of critical theory and information, particularly in regard to the information culture’s transformation of history, historiography, and historicity into positive categories of assumed and represented knowledge.
Book Synopsis The Invention of Everyday Life by : Nicolette Stasko
Download or read book The Invention of Everyday Life written by Nicolette Stasko and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The eyes of Dr Bob Wood are two metres high and follow you wherever you walk in the main street of Dockside.' THE INVENTION OF EVERYDAY LIFE is a sparkling novel of observation. There is no central character and barely any speech or dialogue. It is a group portrait with persons, locales, fruits, creatures, vegetations and sand. We meet Mrs Caminiti the only female butcher, the photographer dreaming of a lost Prague, the six year old prodigy who speaks solely in mathematical formulae, Zoltan Blum the sad drycleaner, Ivanka a young girl fascinated by the lives of the saints. The canvas shifts through the ravages of time in human life and its environs. The Invention of Everyday Life reveals a community: unpretentious, tinged with sadness and Stasko s great feel for beauty in the natural world. It inveigles us like a Cup-goer s fascinator. It dazzles because it floodlights the ordinary.
Book Synopsis The 21 Day Inventor by : Gerald Roeback
Download or read book The 21 Day Inventor written by Gerald Roeback and published by Self Help. This book was released on 2024-03-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Congratulations! You have embarked on a journey, to not only fulfill lifelong dreams, but also to bring forth new talents you never knew you had. Inventors past and present have had to rely on multiple talents to become a success with their inventions and you are going to follow that same path and tap into talents you never thought you had.My purpose for creating this workbook is not to teach you how to invent, although there are aspects that will do so in the workbook. Many How-to-invent books will suggest you obtain a hard bound note book to write down your ideas and thoughts, and this workbook will help you to accomplish this step.Most people think the invention process only entails an approved patent and a finished model of the invention. The 21 day inventor workbook will assist you organizing your thoughts for a smooth transition through the invention process. Do not look at this workbook as an end all solution to your answer on how to invent, but consider it a supplement to the invention process that allows you to answer a majority of your most important questions, before you make firm decisions and waste time, energy and hordes of money.You may notice this workbook has been laid out in a series of consecutive days, 21 to be exact. Your goal should be to complete the workbook by working and filling in the information daily until you have completed the entire work book. This I believe will assist you in creating the habit for inventing.Research has shows if an individual actively does something for at least 21 days straight, that person could change old habits and create new habits. The premise of this workbook and by actively filling out each "day chapter" daily can assist you in getting past procrastination and create the positive habit forming consistent mindset needed to create successful inventions.

Book Synopsis How Invention Begins by : John H. Lienhard
Download or read book How Invention Begins written by John H. Lienhard and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In How Invention Begins, Lienhard reconciles the ends of invention with the individual leaps upon which they are built, illuminating the vast web of individual inspirations that lie behind whole technologies. He traces, for instance, the way in which thousands of people applied their combined genius to airplanes, trains, and automobiles, revealing how a collective desire, an upwelling of fascination, a spirit of the times--a Zeitgeist--laid its hold upon inventors. The thing they all sought to create was speed itself. Can we speak of speed as an invention? To do so, he concludes, is certainly no greater a stretch than to call the car an "invention."

Download or read book Doing Time written by Rita Felski and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2000-09-01 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary theory is full of references to the modern and the postmodern. How useful are these terms? What exactly do they mean? And how is our sense of these terms changing under the pressure of feminist analysis? In Doing Time, Rita Felski argues that it makes little sense to think of the modern and postmodern as opposing or antithetical terms. Rather, we need a historical perspective that is attuned to cultural and political differences within the same time as well as the leaky boundaries between different times. Neither the modern nor the postmodern are unified, coherent, or self-evident realities. Drawing on cultural studies and critical theory, Felski examines a range of themes central to debates about postmodern culture, including changing meanings of class, the end of history, the status of art and aesthetics, postmodernism as "the end of sex," and the politics of popular culture. Placing women at the center of analysis, she suggests, has a profound impact on the way we thing about historical periods. As a result, feminist theory is helping to reshape our vision of both the modern and the postmodern.
