Intercorporeality
Drawing together theory and advanced empirical research from a variety of disciplines, this book offers a new multidisciplinary perspective on human interaction. It conceives of the living body in terms of its interaction with other bodies, and its openness to and engagement with the material and cultural world.
The Rhetorical Emergence of Culture
“Just as rhetoric is founded in culture, culture is founded in rhetoric” - the first half of this central statement from the International Rhetoric Culture Project is abundantly evidenced. It is the latter half that this volume explores: how does culture emerge out of rhetorical action, out of seemingly dispersed individual actions and interactions? The contributors do not rely on rhetorical “text” alone but engage the situational, bodily, and often antagonistic character of cultural and communicative practices. The social situation itself is argued to be the fundamental site of cultural creation, as will-driven social processes are shaped by cognitive dispositions and shape them in turn. Drawing on expertise in a variety of disciplines and regions, the contributors critically engage dialogical approaches in their emphasis on how a view from rhetoric changes our perception of people's intersubjective and conjoint creation of culture.
Saugerties
One hundred miles north of New York City, Saugerties is nestled between the silent majesty of the Catskill Mountains and the flowing waters of the Hudson River. Set in a tranquil landscape, the area possesses a wonderful combination of natural and artistic attractions: an environmental sculpture, Opus 40; Seamon Park; and a nature trail leading to the Saugerties Lighthouse. This book is a visual history made up of over 200 photographs which take readers down historic Main Street in the Village of Saugerties and through the outlying hamlets such as Katsbaan, West Camp, and Glasco. Here, you will see a late-eighteenth through mid-twentieth-century river town come alive with its early stone, brick, and iron industries. People shaped this community's identity and gave it strength. In this volume, you will meet some impressive personalities, like Augusta Savage, renowned Harlem Renaissance artist, and Roger Donlon, the first recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor during the Vietnam conflict. Whether in the arts, industry, or in the armed services, Saugerties has nurtured many men and women of courage and vision.
Sacred Communities
This book examines the nature and extent of changes in communal structures and self-definition among Jews and Christians in Germany during the century before the Reformation. It argues that Christian community was restructured along civic and religious lines resulting in the development of a local sacred society that integrated material and spiritual well being into a moral and legal society, stressing the common good and internal peace, while Jewish community, given a variety of factors, came to be defined through regional communal structures and moral and legal discourse that allowed for broader geographical communal identity. Bell draws from a variety of German, Latin, and Hebrew sources and takes into consideration several methods and viewpoints of studying history.
