Mediación y tutela judicial efectiva
En el marco del I Congreso Internacional de Mediación Intrajudicial, celebrado en Zaragoza los días 22 a 24 de noviembre de 2017, y bajo el título «Mediación y tutela judicial efectiva: la Justicia del siglo XXI», se reunieron destacados profesores y expertos de la Magistratura, Universidades, Administraciones públicas y profesionales de la mediación para debatir sobre las relaciones entre la mediación, proceso judicial y Administración de Justicia, y también sobre otros temas de actual relevancia científica y práctica. Las ponencias ahora publicadas vislumbran la evolución de la mediación en España, en la que un impulso determinante ha de proceder de la Administración de Ju...
Beyond Reason
Beyond Reason relates Wagner's works to the philosophical and cultural ideas of his time, centering on the four music dramas he created in the second half of his career: Der Ring des Nibelungen, Tristan und Isolde, Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg, and Parsifal. Karol Berger seeks to penetrate the "secret" of large-scale form in Wagner's music dramas and to answer those critics, most prominently Nietzsche, who condemned Wagner for his putative inability to weld small expressive gestures into larger wholes. Organized by individual opera, this is essential reading for both musicologists and Wagner experts.
Cosmotechnics
This volume is initial reflections on the meaning and the implications of Yuk Hui’s notion of cosmotechnics, which opens up an anti-universalist and pluralist perspective on technology beyond the West. Martin Heidegger’s famous analysis of the essence of technology as enframing and as rooted in ancient Greek techne has had a crucial influence on the understanding and critique of technological society and culture in the twentieth century. However, it is still unclear to what extent his analysis can also be applied to the development of technology outside of ‘the West’, e.g. in China, Africa, and Latin America, particularly against the backdrop of receding Western domination and impend...
Oscar Masotta
"Oscar Masotta (Buenos Aires, 1930- Barcelona, 1979) is all but forgotten now, except perhaps in the field of Lacanian studies. This is because in the 1970s, Masotta would challenge the master psychoanalyst on his own turf, creating his own post-Lacanian school of psychoanalysisin Barcelona. But in 1965, aged just 27, Masotta taught at the University of Buenos Aires, lectured at the Di Tella, and edited a book series on communication and media. A product of the newly open post-Perón era"--Page 91.
Internationalizing Media Studies
The explosion of transnational information flows, made possible by new technologies and institutional changes (economic, political and legal) has profoundly affected the study of global media. At the same time, the globalization of media combined with the globalization of higher education means that the research and teaching of the subject faces immediate and profound challenges, not only as the subject of enquiry but also as the means by which researchers and students undertake their studies. Edited by a leading scholar of global communication, this collection of essays by internationally-acclaimed scholars from around the world aims to stimulate a debate about the imperatives for internationalizing media studies by broadening its remit, including innovative research methodologies, taking account of regional and national specificities and pedagogic necessities warranted by the changing profile of students and researchers and the unprecedented growth of media in the non-Western world. Transnational in its perspectives, Internationalizing Media Studies is a much-needed guide to the internationalization of media and its study in a global context.
The Play Theory of Mass Communication
The literature on mass communication is now dominated by "objective sociological "approaches. What makes the work of Stephenson so unusual is his starting points: his frank willingness to adopt a "subjective "and "psychological "approach to the study of mass communication. In short, this is an internal analysis of how communication processes are absorbed by individuals. The theory of play is not a doctrine of frivolity, but rather a way in which Stephenson gets at such sensitive areas of communication theory as what is screened out and why. Without a notion of the play element in communication one would be led to imagine that every televised docudrama would be immediately lived out by every ...
Media and Citizenship
How central are the media to the functioning of democracy? Is democracy primarily about citizens using their vote? Does the expression of their voice necessarily empower citizens? Media and Citizenship challenges some assumptions about the relationship between the media and democracy in highly unequal societies like South Africa. In a post-apartheid society where an enfranchised majority is still unable to fundamentally practice their citizenship and experiences marginalization on a daily basis, notions like listening and belonging may be more useful ways of thinking about the role of the media. In this context, protest is taken seriously as a form of political expression and the media's role is foregrounded as actively seeking out the voices of those on the margins of society. Through a range of case studies, the contributors show how listening, both as a political concept and as a form of practice, has transformative and even radical potential for both emerging and established democracies.
Every Future Has a Price
Infotainment was a legendary appraisal of the East Village gallery scene of the 1980s. Organized by Anne Livet, in collaboration with artists and cofounders of the gallery Nature Morte, Peter Nagy and Alan Belcher, it argued for a generation of artists who adhered to neither neoexpressionism nor the Pictures Generation, but who instead imbued their content with social and philosophical resonance. Inheritors of 1960s conceptualism, these artists worked with increased stylization, appropriation and subversion of authorship. Jennifer Bolande, Sarah Charlesworth, Clegg & Guttman, Peter Halley, Steven Parrino, David Robbins, Laurie Simmons and Haim Steinbach were among those included. Every Future Has a Price: 30 Years after Infotainment revisits the exhibition, expanding its context by including other artists such as Ashley Bickerton, Jack Goldstein, Group Material, Guerrilla Girls, Howard Halle, Walter Robinson, Cindy Sherman, James Welling and Christopher Wool.
Juan Muñoz
Spanish artist Juan Munoz is well known for his installations and sculptures that often include architectural elements, human figures, and the like in which he takes into account the spatial elements of the exhibition space. This catalogue documents an exhibition of three separate but related installations at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark. Here, fabricated and painted human figures are scattered around the gallery in a variety of positions. In "Neal's Last Words" a figure is propped with his forehead against a mirror, perpetually staring at himself; in "Half-Circle," a group of laughing figures are arranged in an arc, and in "Many Times," there are 100 figures, all the same, arranged on a balcony in a variety of groupings. A traveling retrospective of Juan Munoz's work will open in the United States late in 2001.
