Download or read book Finding the Plot written by Loïc Artiago and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-08-11 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Plot”, writes Peter Brooks, “is so basic to our very experience of reading, and indeed to our articulation of experience in general, that criticism has often passed it over in silence…” (Reading for the Plot, xi). Finding the Plot both explores and helps to redress this critical neglect. The book brings together an international group of scholars to address the nature, effects and specific pleasures of consuming stories. If the central focus is on France and popular literary fiction, the book’s scope – like contemporary fiction itself – observes no national frontiers, and extends across a variety of media. The book addresses both the empirical question of which genres and types of text have been and are most “popular”, and the theoretical questions of how plots work, what pleasures they offer to readers, and why it matters that the plot should not be lost.

Book Synopsis The Cultural Life of Images by : Brian Leigh Molyneaux
Download or read book The Cultural Life of Images written by Brian Leigh Molyneaux and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-18 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pictures are often admired for their aesthetic merits but they are rarely treated as if they had as much to offer as the written word. They are often overlooked as objects of analysis themselves, and tend to be seen simply as adjuncts to the text. Images, however, are not passive, and have a direct impact that engages attention in ways independent of any specific text. Advertising, entertainment and propaganda have realised the extent of this power to shape ideas, but the scientific community has hitherto neglected the ways in which visual material conditions the ways in which we think. With subjects including prehistoric artworks, excavation illustrations, artists' impressions of ancient sites and peoples and contemporary landscapes, photographs and drawings, this study explores how pictures shape our perceptions and our expectations of the past. This volume is not concerned with the accuracy of pictures from the past or directly about the past itself, but is interested instead in why certain subjects are selected, why they are depicted the way they are, and what effects such images have on our idea of the past. This collection constitutes a ground-breaking study in historiography which radically reassesses the ways that history can be written.

Book Synopsis Telling Children About the Past by : Nena Galanidou
Download or read book Telling Children About the Past written by Nena Galanidou and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together archeologists, historians, psychologists, and educators from different countries and academic traditions to address the many ways that we tell children about the (distant) past. Knowing the past is fundamentally important for human societies, as well as for individual development. The authors expose many unquestioned assumptions and preformed images in narratives of the past that are routinely presented to children. The contributors both examine the ways in which children come to grips with the past and critically assess the many ways in which contemporary societies and an increasing number of commercial agents construct and use the past.
Book Synopsis Transnational French Studies by : Charles Forsdick
Download or read book Transnational French Studies written by Charles Forsdick and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2023-10-01 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributors to Transnational French Studies situate this disciplinary subfield of Modern Languages in actively transnational frameworks. The key objective of the volume is to define the core set of skills and methodologies that constitute the study of French culture as a transnational, transcultural and translingual phenomenon. Written by leading scholars within the field, chapters demonstrate the type of inquiry that can be pursued into the transnational realities – both material and non-material – that are integral to what is referred to as French culture. The book considers the transnational dimensions of being human in the world by focussing on four key practices which constitute the object of study for students of French: language and multilingualism; the construction of transcultural places and the corresponding sense of space; the experience of time; and transnational subjectivities. The underlying premise of the volume is that the transnational is present (and has long been present) throughout what we define as French history and culture. Chapters address instances and phenomena associated with the transnational, from prehistory to the present, opening up the geopolitical map of French studies beyond France and including sites where communities identified as French have formed.

Book Synopsis Figures of Chance I by : Anne Duprat
Download or read book Figures of Chance I written by Anne Duprat and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-03-14 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Figures of Chance I: Chance in Literature and the Arts (16th–21st Centuries) proposes a transhistorical analysis that will serve as a reference work on the evolution of literary and artistic representations of chance and contingency. Alongside its multidisciplinary companion volume (Figures of Chance II), it considers how the projective and predictive capacity of societies is shaped by representations and cultural models of a reality that is understood, to varying degrees, to be contingent, unpredictable, or chaotic. Giving special emphasis to the French context while also developing broad cross-cultural comparisons, this volume examines the dialogue between evolving conceptions and changing representations of chance, from Renaissance figures of Fortune to the data-driven world of the present. Written by recognized specialists of each of the periods studied, it identifies and historicizes the main fictional and factual modes of portraying, narrating, and comprehending chance in the West.
Book Synopsis From Primitives to Primates by : David Van Reybrouck
Download or read book From Primitives to Primates written by David Van Reybrouck and published by Sidestone Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where do our images about early hominids come from? In this fascinating in-depth study, David Van Reybrouck demonstrates how input from ethnography and primatology has deeply influenced our visions about the past from the 19th century to this day - often far beyond the available evidence. Victorian scholars were keen to look at contemporary Australian and Tasmanian aboriginals to understand the enigmatic Neanderthal fossils. Likewise, today's primatologists debate to what extent bonobos, baboons or chimps may be regarded as stand-ins for early human ancestors. The belief that the contemporary world provides 'living links' still goes strong. Such primate models, Van Reybrouck argues, continue the highly problematic 'comparative method' of the Victorian times. He goes on to show how the field of ethnoarchaeology has succeeded in circumventing the major pitfalls of such analogical reasoning.A truly interdisciplinary study, this work shows how scholars working in different fields can effectively improve their methods for interpreting the deep past by understanding the historical challenges of adjacent disciplines.Overviewing two centuries of intellectual debate in fields as diverse as archaeology, ethnography and primatology, Van Reybrouck's book is one long plea for trying to understand the past on its own terms, rather than as facile projections from the present.David Van Reybrouck (Bruges, 1971) was trained as an archaeologist at the universities of Leuven, Cambridge and Leiden. Before becoming a highly successful literary author (The Plague, Mission, Congo...), he worked as a historian of ideas. For more than twelve years, he was co-editor of Archaeological Dialogues. In 2011-12, he held the prestigious Cleveringa Chair at the University of Leiden.

Book Synopsis Studying Human Origins by : Raymond Corbey
Download or read book Studying Human Origins written by Raymond Corbey and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This history of human origin studies covers a wide range of disciplines. This important new study analyses a number of key episodes from palaeolithic archaeology, palaeoanthropology, primatology and evolutionary theory in terms of various ideas on how one should go about such reconstructions and what, if any, the uses of such historiographical exercises can be for current research in these disciplines. Their carefully argued point is that studying the history of palaeoanthropological thinking about the past can enhance the quality of current research on human origins. The main issues in the present volume are the uses of disciplinary history in terms of present-day research concerns, the relative weight of cultural and other 'external' contexts, and continuity and change in theoretical perspectives. The book's overall approach is an epistemological one. It does not, in other words, primarily address anthropological data as such, but our ways of handling such data in terms of our most fundamental, but usually quite implicit theoretical presuppositions.
Book Synopsis SAGE Visual Methods by : Jason Hughes
Download or read book SAGE Visual Methods written by Jason Hughes and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2012-07-23 with total page 1673 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In contemporary Western societies, the visual domain has come to assume a hitherto unprecedented cultural centrality. Daily life is replete with a potentially endless stream of images and other visual messages: from the electronic and paper-based billboards of the street, to the TV and Internet feeds of the home. The visual has become imbued with a symbolic potency, a signifying power that seemingly eclipses that of all other sensory data. The central aim of this four-volume collection is to explore key approaches to visual research methods and to consider some of the core principles, issues, debates and controversies surrounding the use of visual techniques in relation to three key enterprises: 1) documentation and representation; 2) interpretation and classification and 3) elicitation and collaboration. Volume One: Principles, Issues, Debates and Controversies in Visual Research serves as a theoretical backdrop to the field as a whole. It introduces core epistemological, ethical and methodological debates that effectively cut across the four volume collection as a whole. Volume Two: Documentation and Representation illustrates approaches to visual documentation and representation, from classical documentaries to contemporary, state of the art modes of visual anthropology and ethnography. Volume Three: Interpretation and Classification examines core debates surrounding and approaches to visual analysis. Volume Four: Elicitation and Collaboration explores participative approaches to visual inquiry.
Book Synopsis Une anthropologie entre pouvoirs et histoire by : Eyolf Jul-Larsen
Download or read book Une anthropologie entre pouvoirs et histoire written by Eyolf Jul-Larsen and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2011 with total page 662 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le parcours de chercheur de Jean-Pierre Chauveau, aussi foisonnant que cohérent, suffirait à justifier l'hommage d'un livre. Au cours de plus de quarante années de recherches, d'enseignements et de débats scientifiques, il a, dans les échanges directs comme par ses écrits, influencé la façon de penser d'une foule de chercheurs et de praticiens du développement. Ses travaux ont jalonné la réflexion sur des dimensions structurantes des processus de développement et de construction mutuelle de la société civile et de l'État en Afrique sub-saharienne. Loin de la paraphrase ou de l'évocation hagiographique, les contributions réunies dans cet ouvrage proposent des mises en dialogue et en débat des analyses de Jean-Pierre Chauveau, parfois aussi des témoignages d'une rencontre marquante. Écrites par des chercheurs d'horizons divers, elles partagent avec leur inspirateur cette curiosité inépuisable pour la dynamique des sociétés africaines confrontées à la "mécanique" du développement, mais aussi, parfois, un certain émoi pour le temple d'un torero, les rebonds voluptueux d'une rumba ou ceux, plus capricieux, du ballon ovale. Cette suite de conversations avec l'oeuvre de Jean-Pierre Chauveau aborde, sur le registre scientifique, sans négliger celui de la "parenté à plaisanterie" qu'il manie avec art, les principales thématiques qui ont balisé une oeuvre dense et multiforme dans les champs de l'anthropologie historique, politique et économique, des études ivoiriennes et africaines, du développement, de l'innovation et de la gouvernance des ressources naturelles. Plus qu'un simple hommage, cet ouvrage s'adresse aux chercheurs et étudiants en sciences sociales, aux praticiens du développement et aux décideurs politiques que ces questions intéressent.
