Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This book investigates the paradoxes of logic from the point of view of layers, natural language and our everyday, basic experience of time. It suggests the limits of logic, including recursivity and meta-set contradictions together with the fundamental binary divisions of philosophical thought (even including, subject/predicate, mind/matter and subject/object) are a part of our temporal apparatus and offers suggestions to their creative use. The paradox of Epimenedes is also discussed. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Mimesis/Anti-Mimesis suggests the redundancy of the term Mimesis in Aesthetics and not least in the Aestetics of Architecture. The concepts of the Beautiful and Sublime are reconsidered from the point of view of ritual function as are the poetics and politics of representation. A theory of ritual performativity is suggested for the reception of Architecture. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This monograph attempts to answer the question that is the key to the best of Faulkner: why is it that it is the most difficult and most transgressive of Faulkner's books that have attained classic status? I argue that difficulty in reading enacts and conceals, describes and performs, that is, both hides and provokes a search which is at once literary and anthropological, and intellectual and emotional. Formal transgression (experimental modernism) conceals (and reveals) content transgression (the 'taboos' of Faulkner's world) in a style that unites Faulkner's Southern Regionalism with International Modernism and art-house or literary who-done-it with a performative rituality that co-opts the reader into an experience akin to an ritual initiation. We do not just visit Faulkner's world: we inhabit it. Every trick in the literary rhetorical canon is employed by Faulkner in his literary quest to involve the reader in a way of life, a horizon of expectations, or cultural-emotional point of view in which the liberal-minded reader might not feel entirely happy. Also employed are theories of the constitution of the subject and time, subjectivity and agon (self as the product of a continual social contest, both real and imaginary), the much debated role of transgression in literary Modernism and ritual-type experiences. The monograph will be divided into five chapters (with an Introduction framing literary antecedents, methodological approaches, key arguments and general concerns). Chapter One features a detailed textual examination of Faulkner's classic, The Sound and the Fury, showing how Faulkner uses temporal rhythm (speed and manner of oscillation between past present and future) as a means of creating the individual character viewpoints that structure this text (and so structure the consciousness of the reader). Chapter Two on Sanctuary and its sequel Requiem for a Nun discusses gender roles and their linkage to geography and symbolic time. A discussion of the rhetoric of disability and the deployment of competing notions of innocence and guilt as a means of further exploiting the theme of differences of race and gender will indicate the limits of the ethical stance adopted by the (implied) author in these novels. Chapter Three on Light in August, focuses on variations on the theme of subject formation and imposed identities (including the implications of the philosophical theories of Hobbes and Hegel on social being and the political as struggle for recognition and identity). This chapter includes a discussion of the ethical implications of the contrasting incorporation of the genres of comedy and tragedy with respect to the implied subject position of the text's readership. Chapter Four on Absalom, Absalom! offers an entirely original reading based upon the notion of sacrificial exchange as identity creation (and the relation of this, in turn, to the reader's identity) which reverses many previous readings of this, perhaps Faulkner's most 'difficult' text. Lastly, Chapter Five on Go Down, Moses brings together the themes of previous chapters in the light of this book's concerns with restitutions and omissions, what we have come to call, in one of the key euphemisms of our time, 'historical problems'. Because of its concerns with questions of responsibility and guilt, this text is, perhaps above all others, the central work in the debate over the deployment of the rhetoric of 'race' in Faulkner's work. A reflection on the role of 'Nature' 'Realism' and the rhetoric of morality (together with those 'other' subjectivities associated with this key literary nexus) in the history of American literature will be included in this chapter.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2012 in the subject Art - Architecture / History of Construction, , language: English, abstract: This book will be the first to offer an analysis of a city through its upper zone and the distinctive architectural features that make up this zone, at once a mode of human experience and a unit of the environment which exceeds single buildings, and so to deploy specially developed concepts (previously used in performance theory and ritual analysis and applied to the image) to further the analysis of the urban scene. What will be described will be a 'felt environment' allied to a rhetoric of architecture based upon an entirely original way of dividing up, or conceptualizing, urban space. This book will offer an insightful yet playful decoding of our experience of the built environment applied to Beijing as an exciting, largely newly-built world-city, whose buildings stand in need of a commentary - especially the official ones and, by no means least, the 'big name' ones (CCTV and the Olympic/National stadium or 'Bird's Nest').

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -The role of temporality in the impact and interpretation of art has been long neglected. This book will redress this balance by insisting that our sense of temporality and the rhetoric of eternity can not only can be used to decode the world of the visual image, of art and architecture, but also to explain our position relative to the art work, as to what we see before us. As such this book consists of a sequence of readings of images and buildings, of framed art and frame of our lived experience, the built environment.Beginning with representative works from the epoch of medieval and renaissance art, a key period in the history of Western art in terms of temporal rhetoric in narrative and priority, the analysis will progress to the seventeenth century onward, when such potentials were to become hidden, but still effective, and will a chapter on photography. The last two chapters will focus upon architecture and our experience of the city, from an analysis of the Pantheon in Rome to the skyscrapers of New York - and beyond. This work is for those interested in art, architecture and the analysis of visual culture.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 304 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Die Rolle der Zeitlichkeit bei der Wirkung und Interpretation von Kunst wurde lange vernachlässigt. Dieses Buch wird dieses Gleichgewicht wiederherstellen, indem es darauf besteht, dass unser Sinn für Zeitlichkeit und die Rhetorik der Ewigkeit nicht nur dazu benutzt werden kann, die Welt des visuellen Bildes, der Kunst und der Architektur zu entschlüsseln, sondern auch unsere Position in Bezug auf das Kunstwerk zu erklären, was wir vor uns sehen. Beginnend mit repräsentativen Werken aus der Epoche der Kunst des Mittelalters und der Renaissance, einer Schlüsselperiode in der Geschichte der abendländischen Kunst in Bezug auf die zeitliche Rhetorik in Erzählung und Priorität, wird die Analyse bis ins siebzehnte Jahrhundert weitergehen, wo solche Potentiale verborgen, aber immer noch wirksam werden sollten, und ein Kapitel über Fotografie enthalten. Die letzten beiden Kapitel werden sich auf die Architektur und unsere Erfahrungen mit der Stadt konzentrieren, von einer Analyse des Pantheons in Rom bis zu den Wolkenkratzern von New York - und darüber hinaus. Dieses Werk richtet sich an alle, die sich für Kunst, Architektur und die Analyse der visuellen Kultur interessieren.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 372 pp. Deutsch.
