Book Genealogy of Popular Science

Download or read book Genealogy of Popular Science written by Jesús Muñoz Morcillo and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2020-11-30 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the efforts of modern scholars to explain the origins of science communication as a social, rhetorical, and aesthetic phenomenon, most researchers approach the popularization of science from the perspective of present issues, thus ignoring its historical roots in classical culture along with its continuities, disruptions, and transformations. This volume fills this research gap with a genealogically reflected introduction into the popularization of science as a recurrent cultural technique. The category »popular science« is elucidated in interdisciplinary and diachronic dialogue, discussing case studies from all historical periods. Classicists, archaeologists, medievalists, art historians, sociologists, and historians of science provide the first diachronic and multi-layered approach to the rhetoric techniques, aesthetics, and societal conditions that have shaped the dissemination and reception of scientific knowledge.

Book Athenian Potters and Painters III

Download or read book Athenian Potters and Painters III written by John Oakley and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2014-08-31 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Athenian Potters and Painters III presents a rich mass of new material on Greek vases, including finds from excavations at the Kerameikos in Athens and Despotiko in the Cyclades. Some contributions focus on painters or workshops Ð Paseas, the Robinson Group, and the structure of the figured pottery industry in Athens; others on vase forms Ð plates, phialai, cups, and the change in shapes at the end of the sixth century BC. Context, trade, kalos inscriptions, reception, the fabrication of inscribed paintersÕ names to create a fictitious biography, and the reconstruction of the contents of an Etruscan tomb are also explored. The iconography and iconology of various types of figured scenes on Attic pottery serve as the subject of a wide range of papers Ð chariots, dogs, baskets, heads, departures, an Amazonomachy, Menelaus and Helen, red-figure komasts, symposia, and scenes of pursuit. Among the special vases presented are a black spotlight stamnos and a column krater by the Suessula Painter. Athenian Potters and Painters III, the proceedings of an international conference held at the College of William and Mary in Virginia in 2012, will, like the previous two volumes, become a standard reference work in the study of Greek pottery.

Book Ancient Mythological Images and their Interpretation

Download or read book Ancient Mythological Images and their Interpretation written by Katharina Lorenz and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-08-18 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When we try to make sense of pictures, what do we gain when we use a particular method - and what might we be missing or even losing? Empirical experimentation on three types of mythological imagery - a Classical Greek pot, a frieze from Hellenistic Pergamon and a second-century CE Roman sarcophagus - enables Katharina Lorenz to demonstrate how theoretical approaches to images (specifically, iconology, semiotics, and image studies) impact the meanings we elicit from Greek and Roman art. A guide to Classical images of myth, and also a critical history of Classical archaeology's attempts to give meaning to pictures, this book establishes a dialogue with the wider field of art history and proposes a new framework for the study of ancient visual culture. It will be essential reading not just for students of classical art history and archaeology, but for anyone interested in the possibilities - and the history - of studying visual culture.

Book Unterwegs zu einer hermeneutischen   bersetzungswissenschaft

Download or read book Unterwegs zu einer hermeneutischen bersetzungswissenschaft written by Larisa Cercel and published by Narr Francke Attempto Verlag. This book was released on 2012-03-07 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Übersetzen ist in einem fundamentalen Sinne hermeneutisch: Jede Übersetzung ist das Ergebnis eines jeweils anderen Verstehens und Auslegens des Originals durch den Übersetzer. Das vorliegende Buch beschäftigt sich mit dieser Grunderkenntnis der Übersetzungspraxis und reflektiert sie auf übersetzungstheoretischer Ebene. So wird anschaulich gezeigt, wie die unumgängliche human-, d.h. übersetzungsbedingte Dimension des Übersetzungsprozesses mit den wissenschafltichen Anforderungen der Übersetzungsforschung vereinbart werden kann. Das Buch plädiert für eine konstruktive Artikulation der hermeneutischen Tradition und der neuen Übersetzungstheorie in einer interdisziplinären Perspektive und zeigt Wege zur Konstitution einer Übersetzungswissenschaft auf hermeneutischer Basis auf.

Book Early Printed Narrative Literature in Western Europe

Download or read book Early Printed Narrative Literature in Western Europe written by Bart Besamusca and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-11-05 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this volume are concerned with early printed narrative texts in Western Europe. The aim of this book is to consider to what extent the shift from hand-written to printed books left its mark on narrative literature in a number of vernacular languages. Did the advent of printing bring about changes in the corpus of narrative texts when compared with the corpus extant in manuscript copies? Did narrative texts that already existed in manuscript form undergo significant modifications when they began to be printed? How did this crucial media development affect the nature of these narratives? Which strategies did early printers develop to make their texts commercially attractive? Which social classes were the target audiences for their editions? Around half of the articles focus on developments in the history of early printed narrative texts, others discuss publication strategies. This book provides an impetus for cross-linguistic research. It invites scholars from various disciplines to get involved in an international conversation about fifteenth- and sixteenth-century narrative literature.

Download or read book Bild als Prozess written by Adriano Fabris and published by Königshausen & Neumann. This book was released on 2011 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die in diesem Band versammelten, von Autorinnen und Autoren aus unterschiedlichen Ländern verfassten Beiträge resümieren nicht nur wichtige Gehalte bisheriger phänomenologisch-hermeneutischer Bildtheorien. Sie zeigen vor dem Hintergrund allgemeiner Bildwissenschaft auch neue Wege zur Deutung des Bildes auf. Dabei steht eine zentrale Frage im Mittelpunkt: Was bedeutet es, dass ein Bild, sei es im Bereich von Kunst, Kommunikation, Architektur, Literatur oder der Medien, gesehen wird? Mit ihrem kritischen Bildverständnis denkt die phänomenologisch-hermeneutische Philosophie Sehen als Prozess; sie orientiert sich nicht mehr, wie noch das platonische Erbe, am Verhältnis von Abbild und Wirklichkeit, sondern bezieht sich auf die dynamische Interaktion von Sehendem und Gesehenem. Subjekt und Objekt werden somit nicht lediglich als aktive und passive Seite des Sehens oder Denkens verhandelt, sondern ihre Relation wird als ikonische Differenz gefasst.

Book Christologische Schriftargumentation und Bildersprache

Download or read book Christologische Schriftargumentation und Bildersprache written by Elisabeth Grünbeck and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-12-22 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines the early Church's methods of theological argumentation concerning the metaphorical texts of the Bible. Ps 45 presents some of the oldest biblical evidence for the divinity of Christ and was often cited in christological and trinitarian controversies. In the 4th century the conflict between the traditional interpretation of the Church and linguistic methods erupted. In the course of the debate with Arian exegesis the significance of metaphor and the possibility of speaking of God were conceived anew. This study is based on dogmatic, exegetical and spiritual texts ranging from Justin to Cyril of Alexandria and Theodoret of Cyrus. It shows how the various forms of argumentation interact: how scholarly theology was mediated through preaching, and pastoral and catechetical interests affected christological reflection.

Book Erkenntnis des G  ttlichen im Bild

Download or read book Erkenntnis des G ttlichen im Bild written by Malte Dominik Krüger and published by Evangelische Verlagsanstalt. This book was released on 2021-03-01 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kann, darf oder muss man sogar das Göttliche im Bild darstellen? Angesichts der globalen Bilderwelt der neuen Medien und der Macht von Bildern im religiösen Kontext ergeben sich nicht nur neue Fragen, sondern es stellen sich auch alte Fragen neu: Vermag die Hermeneutik von Bildern ein Modell biblischer Textauslegung zu sein? Und: Kennen die hermeneutische Theologie und die antike Philosophie ein Bildkonzept, das seine eigene Vergegenständlichung kritisch durchkreuzt und theologisch wie philosophisch attraktiv ist? Diesen Fragen nähern sich die Autoren aus Perspektiven hermeneutischer Theologie und antiker Philosophie. Damit werden die Vorträge der Marburger Bultmann-Lecture 2019 dokumentiert, die auch zur kulturwissenschaftlichen Verständigung über die Bildlichkeit beitragen möchten. [Cognition of the Divine in the Image? Considerations from Hermeneutical Theology and Ancient Philosophy] Can, may, or must one, even, depict the divine visually? In considering global imageries of New Media and the authority of images in a religious context, both ancient and novel questions arise: Might a hermeneutics of the pictorial be a suitable model for biblical interpretation? And: Do hermeneutical theology and ancient philosophy know of a concept of image that critically crosses out its own objectification, thus becoming theologically and philosophically enticing? The authors approach these questions from perspectives of hermeneutical theology and ancient philosophy, thus documenting papers from the 2019 Bultmann-Lecture in Marburg, which aim to also contribute to the discourse on imagery within cultural sciences.

Book The Oxford Handbook of Roman Imagery and Iconography

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Roman Imagery and Iconography written by Lea K. Cline and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-12-29 with total page 593 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Roman imagery and iconography are typically studied under the more general umbrella of Roman art and in broader, medium-specific studies. This handbook focuses primarily on visual imagery in the Roman world, examined by context and period, and the evolving scholarly traditions of iconographic analysis and visual semiotics that have framed the modern study of these images. As such topics-or, more directly, the isolation of these topics from medium-specific or strictly temporal evaluations of Roman art-are uncommon in monograph-length studies, our goal is that this handbook will be an important reference for both the communicative value of images in the Roman world and the tradition of iconographical analysis. The chapters herein represent contributions from a number of leading and emerging authorities on Roman imagery and iconography from across the world, representing a variety of academic traditions and methods of image analysis"--

Download or read book The Systemic Image written by Inge Hinterwaldner and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2023-10-31 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new conceptualization of the relationship between the systemic and the iconic in real-time simulations that distinguishes among four levels of forming. Computer simulations conceive objects and situations dynamically, in their changes and progressions. In The Systemic Image, Inge Hinterwaldner considers not only the technical components of dynamic computer simulations but also the sensory aspects of the realization. Examining the optic, the acoustic, the tactile, and the sensorimotor impressions that interactive real-time simulations provide, she finds that iconicity plays a dominant yet unexpected role. Based on this, and close readings of a series of example works, Hinterwaldner offers a new conceptualization of the relationship between systemic configuration and the iconic aspects in these calculated complexes. Hinterwaldner discusses specifications of sensorialization, necessary to make the simulation dynamic perceivable. Interweaving iconicity with simulation, she explores the expressive possibilities that can be achieved under the condition of continuously calculated explicit changes. She distinguishes among four levels of forming: the systems perspective, as a process and schema that establishes the most general framework of simulations; the mathematical model, which marks off the boundaries of the simulation's actualization; the iconization and its orientation toward the user; and interaction design, necessary for the full unfolding of the simulation. The user makes manifest what is initially latent. Viewing the simulation as an interface, Hinterwaldner argues that not only does the sensorially designed aspect of the simulation seduce the user but the user also makes an impact on the simulation—on the dynamic and perhaps on the iconization, although not on the perspectivation. The influence is reciprocal.
