We are Knights on the Trajectories of a Post-everything Era
How do we know and understand who we really are as human beings? The concept of 'the self' is central to many strands of psychology and philosophy. This book tackles the problem of how to define persons and selves and discusses the ways in which different disciplines, such as biology, sociology and philosophy, have dealt with this topic. Richard S. Hallam examines the notion that the idea of the self as some sort of entity is a human construction and, in effect, a virtual reality. At the same time, this virtual self is intimately related to the reality of ourselves as biological organisms. Aiming to integrate a constructionist understanding of self with the universalizing assumptions that are needed in natural-science approaches, this text is unique in its attempt to create a dialogue across academic disciplines, while retaining a consistent perspective on the problem of relating nature to culture.

L'art vidéo au féminin
Cet ouvrage aborde l’oeuvre de trois artistes contemporaines, à la fois suisses et femmes. Des savantes interférences entre vies réelles et rêvées d’Emmanuelle Antille (Wouldn’t it be nice, 1999, Angels Camp, 2002-2003) aux jeux de rôle mâtinés de pop culture qu’affectionne Elodie Pong (Je suis une bombe, 2006, After The Empire, 2008), sans oublier la technique et les corps hystériques de Pipilotti Rist (I’m Not The Girl Who Misses Much, 1986, Blutclip, 1993), elles nous font partager leurs visions de la féminité et de son image. Femme fatale, femme-enfant, mère nourricière : autant de figures tutélaires et caricaturales qu’il est pratique de convoquer à l’écran...
Czar Nicholas, the Toad, and Duck Soup
The mid-1960s through the mid-1970s was a heady, turbulent time. There was a lot going on back then, and author Elisabeth Amaral was in the middle of it all: the fights for womens rights, racial equality, a music revolution, be-ins, love-ins, riots in the streets, the rage against the Vietnam War, and sex, drugs, and rock and roll. It was an amazing time to be young. In Czar Nicholas, The Toad, and Duck Soup, Amaral shares her recollections of those times. She narrates a coming-of-age story about herself and her husband as they embarked on an improbable journey of self-discovery. They gave up their jobs, moved with their infant son from New York City to Boston, unexpectedly started a childre...
The Museum in the Digital Age
The current “digital revolution” or “digital era” has affected most of the realms of today’s world, particularly the domains of communication and the creation, safeguarding and transmission of knowledge. Museums, whose mission is to be open to the public and to acquire, conserve, research, communicate and exhibit the heritage of humanity, are thus directly concerned by this revolution. This collection highlights the manner in which museums and curators tackle the challenges of digital technology. The contributions are divided into four groups that illustrate the extent of the impact of digital technologies on museums: namely, exhibitions devoted to new media or mounted with the use of new media; the hidden face of the museum and the conservation of digital works of art; cultural mediation and the communication and promotion of museums using digital tools; and the legal aspects of the digitalisation of content, whether for creative purposes or preservation.
