Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is concerned with Giordano Bruno's ars memoriae and the relation between his works on mnemonics and philosophy in the first phase of his reflection (1582–1585). The hermeneutic hypothesis that will be explored is that it is Giordano Bruno's De umbris idearum that first reveals his new elaboration of the notion of order, which will then be further unfolded in the philosophical works published in London, especially in the notions of nature, language, and praxis developed therein. The research statement is explored into more detail on a methodological level, through a discussion of Hans Blumenberg's interpretation of Giordano Bruno, and on an analytical level, through a metaphorological interpretation of the inward writing and the shadow metaphors in the De umbris idearum.

Download or read book The Art of Memory written by Frances A Yates and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-10-31 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique and brilliant book is a history of human knowledge. Before the invention of printing, a trained memory was of vital importance. Based on a technique of impressing 'places' and 'images' on the mind, the ancient Greeks created an elaborate memory system which in turn was inherited by the Romans and passed into the European tradition, to be revived, in occult form, during the Renaissance. Frances Yates sheds light on Dante’s Divine Comedy, the form of the Shakespearian theatre and the history of ancient architecture; The Art of Memory is an invaluable contribution to aesthetics and psychology, and to the history of philosophy, of science and of literature.

Download or read book Hegel and the Hermetic Tradition written by Glenn Alexander Magee and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Glenn Alexander Magee's pathbreaking book argues that Hegel was decisively influenced by the Hermetic tradition, a body of thought with roots in Greco-Roman Egypt. Magee traces the influence on Hegel of such Hermetic thinkers as Baader, Böhme, Bruno, and Paracelsus, and fascination with occult and paranormal phenomena. Hegel and the Hermetic Tradition covers Hegel's philosophical corpus and shows that his engagement with Hermeticism lasted throughout his career and intensified during his final years in Berlin. Viewing Hegel as a Hermetic thinker has implications for a more complete understanding of the modern philosophical tradition, and German idealism in particular.
Download or read book Investigating Google s Search Engine written by Rosie Graham and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-12-15 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do search engines do? And what should they do? These questions seem relatively simple but are actually urgent social and ethical issues. The influence of Google's search engine is enormous. It does not only shape how Internet users find pages on the World Wide Web, but how we think as individuals, how we collectively remember the past, and how we communicate with one another. This book explores the impact of search engines within contemporary digital culture, focusing on the social, cultural, and philosophical influence of Google. Using case studies like Google's role in the rise of fake news, instances of sexist and misogynistic Autocomplete suggestions, and search queries relating to LGBTQ+ values, it offers original evidence to intervene practically in existing debates. It also addresses other understudied aspects of Google's influence, including the profound implications of its revenue generation for wider society. In doing this, this important book helps to evaluate the real cost of search engines on an individual and global scale.
Download or read book Art Of Memory written by F A Yates and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 1999. This title is the third volume in the ten-volume set titled the Selected Works of Frances Yates. Greyscale illustrations and figures are included throughout - alongside the related descriptive work where applicable. The art in this volume seeks to memorise through a technique of impressing 'places' and 'images' on memory. It has usually been classed as 'mnemotechnics', which appears an unimportant branch of human activity. However, the author discusses in this title that the manipulation of images in memory must always, to some extent, involve the psyche.
Download or read book Ars Memoria written by Jacob Rakovan and published by . This book was released on 2021-12 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ars Memoria, or the art of memory is a technique used much in classical rhetoric for "storing" information within places both real and imagined, as well as in the generation of new texts. As an Appalachian writer in diaspora, I am constantly navigating the liminal space between real, remembered, and imaginary space-between memory and creation. The cycle of poems here were written in dialogue with an alchemical text, The Twelve Keys of Basilius Valentinus, whose images were used as the "memory palace" from which the poems were drawn, and the book of Psalms-particularly when used as a folk-magical or hoodoo text, a practice once common in Appalachia.
Download or read book Ancient and Medieval Memories written by Janet Coleman and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1992-01-30 with total page 670 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an analysis of thinking, remembering and reminiscing according to ancient authors, and their medieval readers. The author argues that behind the various medieval methods in interpreting texts of the past lie two apparently incompatible theories of human knowledge and remembering, as well as two differing attitudes to matter and intellect. The book comprises a series of studies which take ancient texts as evidence of the past, and show how medieval readers and writers understood them. The studies confirm that medieval and renaissance interpretations and uses of the past differ greatly from modern interpretation and yet betray many startling continuities between modern and ancient and medieval theories.

Download or read book Memory and Remembering in Early Irish Literature written by Sarah Künzler and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-12-04 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ireland possesses an early and exceptionally rich medieval vernacular tradition in which memory plays a key role. What attitudes to remembering and forgetting are expressed in secular early Irish texts? How do the texts conceptualise the past and what does this conceptualisation tell us about the present and future? Who mediates and validates different versions of the past and how is future remembrance guaranteed? This study approaches such questions through close readings of individual texts. It centres on three major aspects of medieval Irish memory culture: places and landscapes, the provision of information about the past by miraculously old eye-witnesses, and the personal, social and cultural impact of forgetting. The discussions shed light on the relationship between memory and forgetting and explore the connections between the past, present and future. This shows the fascinating spatio-temporal identity constructions in medieval Ireland and links the Irish texts to the broader European world. The monograph makes this rich literary sources available to an interdisciplinary audience and is of interest to both a general medievalist audience and those working in Cultural Memory Studies.
Download or read book Quixotic Memories written by Julia Dominguez and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2022-03-01 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work of Miguel de Cervantes – one of the most influential writers in early modern Europe – is a reflection of the rich culture of memory in which it was created. More than a theme, memory is a system of understanding in Cervantes’s world, resulting from the major social, religious, and economic changes that epitomized Renaissance humanist culture and that informed the transition to modernity. Quixotic Memories offers insight into the plurality and complexity of memory and demonstrates how it plays an exceptionally critical role in Cervantes’s Don Quixote. It acknowledges Cervantes’s transition into modernity as he engaged with theories of memory that were developed in classical antiquity and adapted to the specific circumstances of his own time. Julia Domínguez explores the many spaces that memory created for itself in early modern Spain, particularly in the fields of philosophy, medicine, rhetoric, mnemotechnics, the visual arts, and pedagogy. Engaging with primary and archival sources, Quixotic Memories provides a new reading of Cervantes’s famous novel by tracing the socio-historical and cultural prominence of memory throughout the author’s lifetime.

Download or read book Rhetorical Memory written by Stewart Whittemore and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2015-10-22 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Institutions have regimes--policies that typically come from the top down and that are meant to align the efforts of workers with the goals and mission of an institution. Institutions also have practices--day-to-day behaviors performed by individual workers attempting to interpret the institution's regimes. Tensions ensue as workers bring their own subjective experiences and interpretations to the mix, and amid those tensions we find politics and, subsequently, winners and losers in the workplace. In "Rhetorical Memory, " Stewart Whittemore explores these dynamics through a tightly focused workplace study that reveals how a team of technical communicators at a software company create and make use of organizational memory as part of their everyday work, with the goal of better understanding issues, trends, and strategies in information management in the workplace. That analysis identifies practical strategies technical communicators can use to implement rhetorically based practices for managing organizational memory and also establishes a clear connection in the workplace between political power and effective use of organizational memory. This innovative piece of scholarship makes a meaningful contribution to the workplace literature in technical communication.
Download or read book Making Education Educational written by Halvor Hoveid and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-09-26 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an argument for reflexivity in the act of teaching, which means to acknowledge that intention guides the act of teaching. Teaching must create attention towards processes of collectivity in the classroom. Today, teaching is both acts of expressing knowledge and acts of securing justice to all students through a mediation of knowledge. Teaching therefore expresses both knowledge with reference to school subjects, and justice according to the distribution of this knowledge. The authors argue for teaching as the driver of education. To pay attention to teaching is to pay attention to that which is inside the system of education. To consider education as a mediation of knowledge between generations, places teaching as an act of performing the content of education, in a class in a school. The complexity of these processes is easily overlooked when education is used as a means in competitive economies. The approach taken in this text is that deliberations about teaching must be based on historicity. The support for this argument builds on a reading of the French philosopher Paul Ricoeur. The book addresses teaching as an integral part of the learning process. In education today, everything seems to be concentrated around learning, as if teaching no longer takes place. Teachers and teacher educators need a language to discuss and understand teaching, both as personal and institutional actions. A Ricoeurian approach to a discussion on teaching as a reflexive and institutional practice, provides a timely approach to important questions related to teaching in our day and age.
