Genre, sexes, sexualités
Les questions de genre, de sexes et de sexualités, envisagés dans leur pluralité, constituent un domaine majeur de l'expérience humaine et un vaste champ de recherche qui concerne toutes les pratiques, tant sociales que symboliques, et tout particulièrement le langage et l’écriture. Ces notions permettent d’interroger les idées reçues, de déconstruire les évidences et d’explorer les textes sous un angle neuf. Les écrits autobiographiques abordent certains aspects de la vie humaine parmi les plus secrets, les plus intimes, notamment les relations complexes entre les sexes et le genre (comme construction de la relation entre le biologique et le social), entre les sexes et les ...
Book of the Dead
Discover how the ancient Egyptians controlled their immortal destiny! This book, edited by Foy Scalf, explores what the Book of the Dead was believed to do, how it worked, how it was made, and what happened to it.
Coordination and Information
Case studies that examine how firms coordinate economic activity in the face of asymmetric information—information not equally available to all parties—are the focus of this volume. In an ideal world, the market would be the optimal provider of coordination, but in the real world of incomplete information, some activities are better coordinated in other ways. Divided into three parts, this book addresses coordination within firms, at the borders of firms, and outside firms, providing a picture of the overall incidence and logic of economic coordination. The case studies—drawn from the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, when the modern business enterprise was evolving, address...
Parables for the Virtual
Although the body has been the focus of much contemporary cultural theory, the models that are typically applied neglect the most salient characteristics of embodied existence—movement, affect, and sensation—in favor of concepts derived from linguistic theory. In Parables for the Virtual Brian Massumi views the body and media such as television, film, and the Internet, as cultural formations that operate on multiple registers of sensation beyond the reach of the reading techniques founded on the standard rhetorical and semiotic models. Renewing and assessing William James's radical empiricism and Henri Bergson's philosophy of perception through the filter of the post-war French philosoph...
LIMBAJUL CORPORATIST
Redimensionarea structurală a societății românești postdecembriste și, în mod particular, apariția și întărirea mediului de afaceri în România au determinat apariția, impunerea și diversificarea unui nou limbaj socioprofesional, respectiv limbajul corporatist. Importat din societățile dezvoltate economic, acest limbaj a câștigat, treptat, teren și la noi, dominat de influența lingvistică (în special la nivel lexico-semantic, frazeologic și sintactic) anglo-americană, reprezentând, în relație cu alte limbi și societăți, un exemplu categoric de globalizare. Prezenta lucrare își propune să definească și să analizeze în detaliu acest limbaj sectorial române...

In this, the first collection of essays to address the development of fairy tale film as a genre, Pauline Greenhill and Sidney Eve Matrix stress, "the mirror of fairy-tale film reflects not so much what its audience members actually are but how they see themselves and their potential to develop (or, likewise, to regress)." As Jack Zipes says further in the foreword, “Folk and fairy tales pervade our lives constantly t...
Roads to Health
In Roads to Health, G. Geltner demonstrates that urban dwellers in medieval Italy had a keen sense of the dangers to their health posed by conditions of overcrowding, shortages of food and clean water, air pollution, and the improper disposal of human and animal waste. He consults scientific, narrative, and normative sources that detailed and consistently denounced the physical and environmental hazards urban communities faced: latrines improperly installed and sewers blocked; animals left to roam free and carcasses left rotting on public byways; and thoroughfares congested by artisanal and commercial activities that impeded circulation, polluted waterways, and raised miasmas. However, as Ge...
Anion-Binding Catalysis
Explores the potential of new types of anion-binding catalysts to solve challenging synthetic problems Anion-Binding Catalysis introduces readers to the use of anion-binding processes in catalytic chemical activation, exploring how this approach can contribute to the future design of novel synthetic transformations. Featuring contributions by world-renowned scientists in the field, this authoritative volume describes the structure, properties, and catalytic applications of anions as well as synthetic applications and practical analytical methods. In-depth chapters are organized by type of catalyst rather than reaction type, providing readers with an accessible overview of the existing classe...
Intermediality in Theatre and Performance
Intermediality: the incorporation of digital technology into theatre practice, and the presence of film, television and digital media in contemporary theatre is a significant feature of twentieth-century performance. Presented here for the first time is a major collection of essays, written by the Theatre and Intermediality Research Group of the International Federation for Theatre Research, which assesses intermediality in theatre and performance. The book draws on the history of ideas to present a concept of intermediality as an integration of thoughts and medial processes, and it locates intermediality at the inter-sections situated in-between the performers, the observers and the conflue...
