Entendendo os estudos da linguagem como um campo inter(trans)disciplinar, temos uma agenda bastante ampla acerca de estudos teóricos e aplicados no campo das Linguísticas. Da Linguística Teórica à Linguística Aplicada, o objeto de estudo é sempre a língua(gem) em que se transgride fronteiras disciplinares convencionais, objetivando desenvolver novas agendas de pesquisa encabeçadas por uma ampla variedade de disciplinas que nada tem de subalternas, mas de poderosos caminhos para ação. Estas estão em célebres discussões subsidiando uma a outra para estabelecer diálogos profícuos nos diversos campos de investigação, trazendo consigo o caminho intercambiável em diferentes áreas do conhecimento, de soluções para problemas linguísticos socialmente relevantes e de construções conceituais conjuntas. Esta obra agrega saberes com o produto do olhar subjetivo de cada pesquisador e contribui para a ampliação da pesquisa científica e acadêmica sobre o fenômeno da língua(gem), compilando importantes pesquisas e olhares sobre o fenômeno que nos constitui como atores sociais: a língua(gem).
A ideia que dá organicidade ao livro é pensar e registrar os processos das experimentações metodológicas, movimentos com as quais vamos criando e exercitando as próprias pesquisas e nas pesquisas que temos orientado. O que estamos deslocando, insubordinando, insurgindo quando nos dispomos a romper modos instituídos de pesquisar, escrever, criar com a diferença [?].
Fox News, MSNBC, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Rush Limbaugh Show, National Public Radio - with so many options, where do people turn for news? This book examines the extent to which our political leanings guide our news selections and whether likeminded news use is democratically consequential.
A proposal that algorithms are not simply instructions to be performed but thinking entities that construct digital spatio-temporalities. In Contagious Architecture, Luciana Parisi offers a philosophical inquiry into the status of the algorithm in architectural and interaction design. Her thesis is that algorithmic computation is not simply an abstract mathematical tool but constitutes a mode of thought in its own right, in that its operation extends into forms of abstraction that lie beyond direct human cognition and control. These include modes of infinity, contingency, and indeterminacy, as well as incomputable quantities underlying the iterative process of algorithmic processing. The mai...
This book offers a readable and compelling introduction to the work of one of the twentieth century's most important and elusive thinkers. Other books have tried to explain Deleuze in general terms. Todd May organizes his book around a central question at the heart of Deleuze's philosophy: how might we live? The author then goes on to explain how Deleuze offers a view of the cosmos as a living thing that provides ways of conducting our lives that we may not have dreamed of. Through this approach the full range of Deleuze's philosophy is covered. Offering a lucid account of a highly technical philosophy, Todd May's introduction will be widely read amongst those in philosophy, political science, cultural studies and French studies.
This monographfocuses on one of the most interesting sections of the Main Forum of OstiaAntica, the ancient commercial port of Rome, during the 2nd-6thcenturies AD. With a detailed 3D reconstruction of all collected information,it is possible to gain detailed insights into the development and destructionof the city centre during the transition from Antiquity to the Early MiddleAges. The applied 3Dvolume map in this study makes this possible by combining 2D, 2.5D and 3Dsolid objects inside a real geo-space. It completes the 3D space, generallyfilled with hollow objects, with content. With this work,Undine Lieberwirth gives archaeologists a free and open ready-to-use tool. Theresulting space-time model of archaeological stratigraphy, geophysics andpedology opens new perspectives on 3D documentation and 3D analysis ofarchaeological and archaeology-related data. Her intention is not only topreserve archaeological excavation data in the best way possible but also toprepare them for future 3D and 4D analysis. The digital 3D cartography offersthe perfect framework for this. To represent these 3D modelsappropriately, the usual 2D images in this monograph are replaced with 8videos.
This book provides an overview and discussion of Cultural Psychology of Semiotic Dynamics (CPSD) as a general developmental science. It discusses the challenging interplay between the sophisticated abstract concept of a holistic-dynamic understanding of the psyche and the concrete human experience. Chapters begin by framing the specific topics discussed in the book and elaborating on the border “zone” in between individual and collective-societal meanings. Subsequent chapters and a final conclusion discuss CPSC as an abstractive conceptual enterprise. The book is divided into sections, each beginning with a chapter written by Jaan Valsiner. The individual sections focus on (I) the nature...
At once a memoir, a call to support the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, and an argument for queer solidarity across borders, this book tells the story of how novelist and activist Sarah Schulman's became aware of how issues of the Israeli occupation of Palestine were tied to her own gay and lesbian politics.
For many years, kisses were the only sexual acts to be seen in mainstream American movies. Then, in the 1960s and 1970s, American cinema “grew up” in response to the sexual revolution, and movie audiences came to expect more knowledge about what happened between the sheets. In Screening Sex, the renowned film scholar Linda Williams investigates how sex acts have been represented on screen for more than a century and, just as important, how we have watched and experienced those representations. Whether examining the arch artistry of Last Tango in Paris, the on-screen orgasms of Jane Fonda, or the anal sex of two cowboys in Brokeback Mountain, Williams illuminates the forms of pleasure and...
In Quantum Anthropologies, the renowned feminist theorist Vicki Kirby contends that some of the most provocative aspects of deconstruction have yet to be explored. Deconstruction’s implications have been curtailed by the assumption that issues of textuality and representation are specific to the domain of culture. Revisiting Derrida’s claim that there is “no outside of text,” Kirby argues that theories of cultural construction developed since the linguistic turn have inadvertently reproduced the very binaries they intended to question, such as those between nature and culture, matter and ideation, and fact and value. Through new readings of Derrida, Husserl, Saussure, Butler, Irigara...
