Book excerpt: "This is an important book: original, erudite, useful and ambitious." —Quarterly Journal of Speech "A remarkable book . . . sure to be of lasting interest . . . to be reckoned with by all rhetorical theorists." —Choice This is the first contemporary attempt at a holistic theory of rhetoric, well grounded in the context of cultural and social history. Arguing that rhetoric has always been an independent, objective, essential factor in human interaction, Valesio views it as coextensive with human speech in use.

Book excerpt: The years 91-82 B.C. witnessed the reforms, factional competition, and civil strife that sowed the seeds of the RepublicAes eventual destruction. This book investigates that crucial decade in the social and political development of Rome by re-examining the career of L. Cornelius Cinna, one of the most enigmatic, tragic, yet fascinating, figures in all of Roman history; his regime odominatedo Rome from 87 to 82 B.C. This study attempts to explain how, why, and how successfully Cinna and his faction, as champions of RomeAes discontented and obstacle of RomeAes conservatives, dealt with those pressing problems that then plagued Rome. Cinna emerges as a competent military strategist and an astute politician who, through conviction and ambition, rose to head an unusual coalition. His odominatioo was no military despotism; his faction did not exercise absolute or tyrannical authority over the State. Rather, CinnaAes regime ensured political and economic stability and preserved and promoted the Roman State at a time when it surely might have collapsed. "a this work will be of particular service to cautious students looking for up-to-date guidancea" Journal of Roman Studies

Book excerpt: Choreographing Discourses brings together essays originally published by Mark Franko between 1996 and the contemporary moment. Assembling these essays from international, sometimes untranslated sources and curating their relationship to a rapidly changing field, this Reader offers an important resource in the dynamic scholarly fields of Dance and Performance Studies. What makes this volume especially appropriate for undergraduate and graduate teaching is its critical focus on twentieth- and twenty-first-century dance artists and choreographers – among these, Oskar Schlemmer, Merce Cunningham, Kazuo Ohno, William Forsythe, Bill T. Jones, and Pina Bausch, some of the most high-profile European, American, and Japanese artists of the past century. The volume’s constellation of topics delves into controversies that are essential turning points in the field (notably, Still/Here and Paris is Burning), which illuminate the spine of the field while interlinking dance scholarship with performance theory, film, visual, and public art. The volume contains the first critical assessments of Franko’s contribution to the field by André Lepecki and Gay Morris, and an interview incorporating a biographical dimension to the development of Franko’s work and its relation to his dance and choreography. Ultimately, this Reader encourages a wide scope of conversation and engagement, opening up core questions in ethics, embodiment, and performativity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The central concern of these eight studies and essays is the understanding and critique of culture at the shifty boundaries between the Modem and the Postmodern epochs. The author contends that what needs to be addressed is the very abyss, the "spacetime" between the Modern and the Postmodern worldviews, as well as the tension between aesthetics and ethics, critical discourse and the creative arts, in an effort to rethink multireferential processes of signification. The keystone of the book is Carravetta's notion of Diaphoristics, a theory of interpretation as dialogue. Diaphora, or difference, refers to the ancient quarrel between poetry and philosophy and signifies the movement between asymmetrical or heterogeneous forms of discourse that have, both historically and speculatively, borne the transfer of meaning from one semantic/hermeneutic field to another. The author focuses on the necessary risk and duplicity of criticism and develops nonagonistic models based on figuration and rhetorical dynamics. In two other chapters, the author steps back to reassess, in terms of the diaphora, the diverging notions of Postmodernity by the continental philosophers Lyotard and Vattimo. The collection ends with an essay on the long-overdue conversation between Vico and Heidegger.

Book excerpt: SUMMARY There is no doubt the story of Ferdinand Magellan is epic. And this book doesn't argue that point. Though there is a significant misconception about Magellan: He never circumnavigated the globe. In fact, he was roughly 1500 miles shy of it before he was justifiably hacked to pieces by King Lapu-Lapu. This book, Juan Sebastián Elcano, is about the man who rallied the men of the failing Magellan mission. It's about the captain who brought home the Victoria to complete the first circumnavigation of the globe; with one of five ships that set sail under Magellan in 1519. It's about Elcano, the Emperor who celebrated him, and the men who worked under him, against him, and beside him as he completed the world's greatest sailing adventure. The Spanish Armada de Molucca was commanded by six different men, at five different moments during the expedition - the most famous and first being Magellan. When Elcano took command, the expedition had only made it half way around the globe. His ship was falling apart. His men were ill. His route was through hostile enemy territory. Against all odds, he made it back with 17 men. This is that story...

This book was released on 2014-09-22 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Natural moral law stands at the center of Western ethics and jurisprudence and plays a leading role in interreligious dialogue. Although the greatest source of the classical natural law tradition is Thomas Aquinas's Treatise on Law, the Treatise is notoriously difficult, especially for nonspecialists. J. Budziszewski has made this formidable work luminous. This book - the first classically styled, line-by-line commentary on the Treatise in centuries - reaches out to philosophers, theologians, social scientists, students, and general readers alike. Budziszewski shows how the Treatise facilitates a dialogue between author and reader. Explaining and expanding upon the text in light of modern philosophical developments, he expounds this work of the great thinker not by diminishing his reasoning, but by amplifying it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En 1956 était publié, à l'Institut d'Archéologie orientale du Caire, un ouvrage important de Hans Lewy sur les Oracles chaldaïques, "Chaldaean oracles and theurgy". Cette étude, vite épuisée, fut l'objet, en 1978, d'une nouvelle édition dans la Collection des Études augustiniennes, due à Michel Tardieu, qui accompagnait le texte de H. Lewy d'une série de douze compléments, parmi lesquels une contribution de E. R. Dodds, et une autre de P. Hadot. Cet ouvrage, qui reste fondamental pour la connaissance des Oracles chaldaïques et de toute la philosophie ancienne, était épuisé depuis longtemps, et Michel Tardieu en propose aujourd∎hui une troisième édition: à côté de menues corrections, cette nouvelle édition comporte un treizième complément, "Les Oracles chaldaïques 1891-2011", qui offre une synthèse de 120 ans de recherches, depuis les travaux de Jahn, en 1891, jusqu'à nos jours, et une bibliographie répartie en cinq sections, qui dépouille l'ensemble de la production sur le sujet.
