Book The Emergence of the Interior

Download or read book The Emergence of the Interior written by Charles Rice and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-11-22 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking a radical position counter to many previous histories and theories of the interior, domesticity and the home, The Emergence of the Interior considers how the concept and experience of the domestic interior have been formed from the beginning of the nineteenth century. It considers the interior's emergence in relation to the thinking of Walter Benjamin and Sigmund Freud, and, through case studies, in architecture's trajectories toward modernism. The book argues that the interior emerged with a sense of 'doubleness', being understood and experienced as both a spatial and an image-based condition. Incorporating perspectives from architecture, critical history and theory, and psychoanalysis, The Emergence of the Interior will be of interest to academics and students of the history and theory of architecture and design, social history, and cultural studies.

Book excerpt: Set against a vibrant South Bronx neighborhood and the queer youth culture of Manhattan's piers, Chulito is a coming-of-age, coming out love story of a sexy, tough, hip hop-loving, young Latino man and the colorful characters who populate his block. Chulito, which means "cutie," is one of the boys, and everyone in his neighborhood has seen him grow up--the owner of the local bodega, the Lees from the Chinese restaurant, his buddies from the corner, and all of his neighbors and friends, including Carlos, who was Chulito's best friend until they hit puberty and people started calling Carlos a pato...a faggot. Culito rejects Carlos, buries his feelings for him, and becomes best friends with Kamikaze, a local drug dealer. When Carlos comes home from his first year away from college and they share a secret kiss, Chulito's worlds collide as his ideas of being a young man, being macho, and being in love are challenged. Vivid, sexy, funny, heartbreaking, and fearless, this knock out novel is destine to become a gay classic.

Download or read book The View from My Ridge written by Charles E. Rice and published by . This book was released on 2017-07-09 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in the John Ross House in Rossville, Georgia, Charles Rice lived most of his boyhood at the foot of Missionary Ridge on the Tennessee-Georgia state line. Steeped in Cherokee culture and Civil War history, this area becomes a central metaphor in Rice's much-travelled life, a life touched by the Great Depression, tempered by World War II, and challenged by the revolutions that shaped postwar America. Through it all, Rice struggles to find an enduring truth greater than the shifting values of the society he so ably served.

Book Charles Rice  Born October 4  1841  Died May 13  1901  Classic Reprint

Download or read book Charles Rice Born October 4 1841 Died May 13 1901 Classic Reprint written by Rice Memorial Committee and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-13 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Charles Rice, Born October 4, 1841, Died May 13, 1901 Sources of his parents were unfortunately impaired by financial reverses, and an uncle residing in the United States urged the young man to come to America, with the View of preparing himself for a professional career. The death of his parents left him without home ties, and he was thrown entirely upon his own resources. He first travelled to England, and in 1862 he sailed for the United States. The war of the Rebellion was in progress at this time, and he entered the United States navy, having received an appointment as surgeon's steward on the sloop of war Jamestown, commanded by Captain Cicero Price, lying at Philadelphia and bound for a cruise around the world. Up to this time, there IS no evidence that Charles Rice showed any predilection for pharmacy, although there is no question that he had attended chemical lectures in the seminary and schools in which he was educated. He had special aptitude for languages and the bent of his mind was clearly in the direction of the classics.

Book The Significance of Consciousness

Download or read book The Significance of Consciousness written by Charles Siewert and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 1998-07-27 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Siewert presents a distinctive approach to consciousness that emphasizes our first-person knowledge of experience and argues that we should grant consciousness, understood in this way, a central place in our conception of mind and intentionality. Written in an engaging manner that makes its recently controversial topic accessible to the thoughtful general reader, this book challenges theories that equate consciousness with a functional role or with the mere availability of sensory information to cognitive capacities. Siewert argues that the notion of phenomenal consciousness, slighted in some recent theories, can be made evident by noting our reliance on first-person knowledge and by considering, from the subject's point of view, the difference between having and lacking certain kinds of experience. This contrast is clarified by careful attention to cases, both actual and hypothetical, indicated by research on brain-damaged patients' ability to discriminate visually without conscious visual experience--what has become known as "blindsight." In addition, Siewert convincingly defends such approaches against objections that they make an illegitimate appeal to "introspection." Experiences that are conscious in Siewert's sense differ from each other in ways that only what is conscious can--in phenomenal character--and having this character gives them intentionality. In Siewert's view, consciousness is involved not only in the intentionality of sense experience and imagery, but in that of nonimagistic ways of thinking as well. Consciousness is pervasively bound up with intelligent perception and conceptual thought: it is not mere sensation or "raw feel." Having thus understood consciousness, we can better recognize how, for many of us, it possesses such deep intrinsic value that life without it would be little or no better than death.

Book From Macho to Mariposa

    Book Details:
  • Author : Charles Rice-González
  • Publisher : Lethe Press
  • Release : 2011
  • ISBN : 159021241X
  • Pages : 296 pages

Download or read book From Macho to Mariposa written by Charles Rice-González and published by Lethe Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prepare yourself to dance in a disco in Silver Lake, check out papis in Orchard Beach, cross the border from Guatemala to Mexico on your way to the U.S., see a puro macho bathe in a river in Puerto Rico, make love under a full moon in the Dominican Republic, sigh at a tender moment in an orange grove in Lindsay, visit a panaderia in Kansas, see a full blown birthday party in Juarez, and be seduced by a young artist in the South Bronx. These are some of the stories in this collection of thirty gay Latino writers from around the United States. There are "don't mess with me" divas, alluring bad boys, and sexy teenagers, but also empowered youth for whom being queer is not a question and a family that grows wings on their heads. The infectious rhythms of House music in New York City are adjacent to cumbia in Mexico, next to reggaeton in Puerto Rico, alongside Latin pop in L.A. and merengue in an east coast city. But the spectrum of experiences and emotions that inhabit our days gives these stories dimension and gay/queer Latinos a common ground. The stories are vibrantly varied and clearly connected in this "era of lost signals" in which we live.

Book 50 Questions on The Natural Law

Download or read book 50 Questions on The Natural Law written by Charles E. Rice and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2011-04-27 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Rice, professor of the jurisprudence of St. Thomas Aquinas for the last twenty years at Notre Dame Law School, presents a very readable book on the natural law as seen through the teachings of Aquinas and their foundations in reason and Revelation. Reflecting on the most persistent questions asked by his students over the years, Rice shows how the natural law works and how it is rooted in the nature of the human person whose Creator provided this law as a sure and knowable guide for man to achieve his end of eternal happiness. This book presents the teachings of the Catholic Church in her role as arbiter of the applications of the natural law on issues involving the right to live, bioethics, the family and the economy. Charles Rice has produced a firmly grounded and accessible handbook which touches on the most important topics regarding natural law that will benefit readers of all backgrounds.

Book Following The Truth   INVISIBLE

Download or read book Following The Truth INVISIBLE written by Dr. Charles A. Rice, Ph.D and published by Dr. Charles A. Rice, Ph.D. This book was released on 2018-05-18 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Invisible: Often times we are our own obstacles in life; and our successes depends on our actions; we must look beyond the obvious to seize the opportunities that are before us; understanding to look inwardly for the answers. The main factors of challenges are: the sentimental, overly emotional, self-awareness, our depths, field of view, and confidence; then we view elsewhere for inspiration; but if we look within; then we'll never be without. This autobiography will offer the philosophy to view beyond the obvious; to seize the opportunities that are before us; and even if we can’t recognize the opportunities, that doesn’t mean they do not exist; we must seek a deeper understanding to realize what is before us. Relationships and friendships; can also tilt the scales; being both good and challenging; but how do we differentiate it all, and not stunt our progress; and how to navigate people to understand their intent; all of which are deciding factors of our own successes in life, and our sanity; this book will take you on a journey of understanding regarding: self, life, and misperceptions, to overcome the adversities of life; with the different point of view; the philosophy of invisible; built on the premise of self being your greatest asset to achieve; with the truth and intellect; the faculty of reasoning objectively to navigate the journey.

  • ISBN : 0253041120

Download or read book Folk Illusions written by K. Brandon Barker and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2019-04-22 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wiggling a pencil so that it looks like it is made of rubber, "stealing" your niece's nose, and listening for the sounds of the ocean in a conch shell– these are examples of folk illusions, youthful play forms that trade on perceptual oddities. In this groundbreaking study, K. Brandon Barker and Claiborne Rice argue that these easily overlooked instances of children's folklore offer an important avenue for studying perception and cognition in the contexts of social and embodied development. Folk illusions are traditionalized verbal and/or physical actions that are performed with the intention of creating a phantasm for one or more participants. Using a cross-disciplinary approach that combines the ethnographic methods of folklore with the empirical data of neuroscience, cognitive science, and psychology, Barker and Rice catalogue over eighty discrete folk illusions while exploring the complexities of embodied perception. Taken together as a genre of folklore, folk illusions show that people, starting from a young age, possess an awareness of the illusory tendencies of perceptual processes as well as an awareness that the distinctions between illusion and reality are always communally formed.
