Download or read book Narratology and Interpretation written by Jonas Grethlein and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2009-08-17 with total page 641 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The categories of classical narratology have been successfully applied to ancient texts in the last two decades, but in the meantime narratological theory has moved on. In accordance with these developments, Narratology and Interpretation draws out the subtler possibilities of narratological analysis for the interpretation of ancient texts. The contributions explore the heuristic fruitfulness of various narratological categories and show that, in combination with other approaches such as studies in deixis, performance studies and reader-response theory, narratology can help to elucidate the content of narrative form. Besides exploring new theoretical avenues and offering exemplary readings of ancient epic, lyric, tragedy and historiography, the volume also investigates ancient predecessors of narratology.

Download or read book The Semiotics of Emoji written by Marcel Danesi and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-11-17 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortlisted for the BAAL Book Prize 2017 Emoji have gone from being virtually unknown to being a central topic in internet communication. What is behind the rise and rise of these winky faces, clinking glasses and smiling poos? Given the sheer variety of verbal communication on the internet and English's still-controversial role as lingua mundi for the web, these icons have emerged as a compensatory universal language. The Semiotics of Emoji looks at what is officially the world's fastest-growing form of communication. Emoji, the colourful symbols and glyphs that represent everything from frowning disapproval to red-faced shame, are fast becoming embedded into digital communication. Controlled by a centralized body and regulated across the web, emoji seems to be a language: but is it? The rapid adoption of emoji in such a short span of time makes it a rich study in exploring the functions of language. Professor Marcel Danesi, an internationally-known expert in semiotics, branding and communication, answers the pertinent questions. Are emoji making us dumber? Can they ultimately replace language? Will people grow up emoji literate as well as digitally native? Can there be such a thing as a Universal Visual Language? Read this book for the answers.

Download or read book Capital Ideas Evolving written by Peter L. Bernstein and published by Wiley + ORM. This book was released on 2011-01-31 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A lot has happened in the financial markets since 1992, when Peter Bernstein wrote his seminal Capital Ideas. Happily, Peter has taken up his facile pen again to describe these changes, a virtual revolution in the practice of investing that relies heavily on complex mathematics, derivatives, hedging, and hyperactive trading. This fine and eminently readable book is unlikely to be surpassed as the definitive chronicle of a truly historic era." John C. Bogle, founder of The Vanguard Group and author, The Little Book of Common Sense Investing "Just as Dante could not have understood or survived the perils of the Inferno without Virgil to guide him, investors today need Peter Bernstein to help find their way across dark and shifting ground. No one alive understands Wall Street's intellectual history better, and that makes Bernstein our best and wisest guide to the future. He is the only person who could have written this book; thank goodness he did." Jason Zweig, Investing Columnist, Money magazine "Another must-read from Peter Bernstein! This well-written and thought-provoking book provides valuable insights on how key finance theories have evolved from their ivory tower formulation to profitable application by portfolio managers. This book will certainly be read with keen interest by, and undoubtedly influence, a wide range of participants in international finance." Dr. Mohamed A. El-Erian, President and CEO of Harvard Management Company, Deputy Treasurer of Harvard University, and member of the faculty of the Harvard Business School "Reading Capital Ideas Evolving is an experience not to be missed. Peter Bernstein's knowledge of the principal characters-the giants in the development of investment theory and practice-brings this subject to life." Linda B. Strumpf, Vice President and Chief Investment Officer, The Ford Foundation "With great clarity, Peter Bernstein introduces us to the insights of investment giants, and explains how they transformed financial theory into portfolio practice. This is not just a tale of money and models; it is a fascinating and contemporary story about people and the power of their ideas." Elroy Dimson, BGI Professor of Investment Management, London Business School "Capital Ideas Evolving provides us with a unique appreciation for the pervasive impact that the theory of modern finance has had on the development of our capital markets. Peter Bernstein once again has produced a masterpiece that is must reading for practitioners, educators and students of finance." Andr F. Perold, Professor of Finance, Harvard Business School

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: VISUAL INSTRUCTION IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS BY ANNA VERONA DORRIS HEAD OF DEPARTMENTS OF VISUAL INSTRUCTION AND GEOGRAPHY STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE, SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA INSTRUCTOR IN VISUAL INSTRUCTION, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, EXTENSION DIVISION GINN AND COMPANY BOSTON NEW YORK CHICAGO LONDON ATLANTA DALLAS - COLUMBUS SAN FRANCISCO MT. RAINIER AND REFLECTION LAKE, RAINIER NATIONAL PARK, WASHINGTON PREFACE Within the last decade the demands of society upon the public schools have increased greatly. As a result, many more topics and increased amounts of subject matter must be taught. The purpose, of course, is the better equipment of the child for lifes duties and responsibilities. In order to accomplish this additional work with econ omy and efficiency the modern school has been obliged to develop a new approach to its task. It has therefore dis carded the older methods of teaching, which proved them selves slow, cumbersome, wasteful, and very ineffective when applied to the larger load which the modern school must carry and it is rapidly utilizing the most effective procedures known to science for the promotion of learning. The endeavor of every progressive teacher at the present time is to plan school work so that pupils may master it much as efficient people outside the schools master their tasks. This is accomplished by giving children a fundamen tal understanding of the motives that underlie the work they do, so that there is implanted within the children themselves a never-failing source of inspiration to carry on. The teacher who has succeeded in this high endeavor finds in visual instruction one of the strongest methods of promoting natural learning and the proper motivation of the pupils efforts and in visual aids she finds the most efficient instruments wherewith to bring vividness and concreteness to the child in his attempts to learn. Through its use in modern education, many economies are made possible for it naturally follows that results are vi VISUAL INSTRUCTION more definite and are secured in much less time. Indeed, if visual aids are sufficiently and properly used, the greater load put upon the school in recent years may be satis factorily carried without prolonging the childs period of training and with much greater benefit to him in equip ping him for lifes duties. It is the realization of the great service which visual instruction, rightly used, can render to the classroom teacher that has led to the preparation of this book. This realization has come to the author gradually through sev eral years experience as teacher, principal, and supervi sor in the public schools, and as a trainer of teachers in the State Teachers College, San Francisco, and through the Extension Division of the University of California. The book brings together the results of this varied experience with visual instruction. Its aim is to guide the teacher so that she will be able to use visual materials of all sorts with proper economy and with the best possible results. The text is organized in three parts, each of which is divided into chapters. Part I seeks to give a background that will enable the reader to use understandingly the va rious types of visual aids in ordinary teaching situations. Part II is concerned with the modern methods of edu cational procedure and emphasizes, particularly, practical ways and means of using visual materials for the enrich ment of the various subjects of the curriculum. These chapters are concretely illustrated by reports of actual classroom experiences. Part III is devoted to the problems of training teachers in a larger use of visual instruction. The second chapter in this section offers suggestions for organizing and maintain ing a visual-instruction department in any school system. At the end of the book, in Appendix A and Appendix B, definite information is given to teachers who wish to PREFACE vii obtain the materials or apparatus needed for this work...
