Book Abnormal

    Book Details:
  • Author : Michel Foucault
  • Publisher : Verso Books
  • Release : 2016-09-01
  • ISBN : 1784786403
  • Pages : 485 pages

Download or read book Abnormal written by Michel Foucault and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2016-09-01 with total page 485 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three decades after his death, Michel Foucault remains one of the towering intellectual figures of the last half-century. His works on sexuality, madness, the prison, and medicine are enduring classics. From 1971 until his death in 1984, Foucault gave public lectures at the famous Collge de France. These seminal events, attended by thousands, created the benchmarks for contemporary social enquiry. The lectures comprising Abnormal begin by examining the role of psychiatry in modern criminal justice, and its method of categorising individuals who "resemble their crime before they commit it." Building on the themes of societal self-defence developed in earlier works, Foucault shows how defining "normality" became a prerogative of power in the nineteenth century, shaping the institutions-from the prisons to the family-meant to deal with "monstrosity," whether sexual, physical, or spiritual. The Collge de France lectures add immeasurably to our appreciation and understanding of Foucault's thought.

Book The Sounds of Early Cinema

Download or read book The Sounds of Early Cinema written by Richard Abel and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2001-10-03 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sounds of Early Cinema is devoted exclusively to a little-known, yet absolutely crucial phenomenon: the ubiquitous presence of sound in early cinema. "Silent cinema" may rarely have been silent, but the sheer diversity of sound(s) and sound/image relations characterizing the first 20 years of moving picture exhibition can still astonish us. Whether instrumental, vocal, or mechanical, sound ranged from the improvised to the pre-arranged (as in scripts, scores, and cue sheets). The practice of mixing sounds with images differed widely, depending on the venue (the nickelodeon in Chicago versus the summer Chautauqua in rural Iowa, the music hall in London or Paris versus the newest palace cinema in New York City) as well as on the historical moment (a single venue might change radically, and many times, from 1906 to 1910). Contributors include Richard Abel, Rick Altman, Edouard Arnoldy, Mats Björkin, Stephen Bottomore, Marta Braun, Jean Châteauvert, Ian Christie, Richard Crangle, Helen Day-Mayer, John Fullerton, Jane Gaines, André Gaudreault, Tom Gunning, François Jost, Charlie Keil, Jeff Klenotic, Germain Lacasse, Neil Lerner, Patrick Loughney, David Mayer, Domi-nique Nasta, Bernard Perron, Jacques Polet, Lauren Rabinovitz, Isabelle Raynauld, Herbert Reynolds, Gregory A.

Book Histoire de l Architecture Sacr  e du Quatri  me au Dixi  me Si  cle dans les Anciens   v  ch  s de Gen  ve  Lausanne Et Sion  Classic Reprint

Download or read book Histoire de l Architecture Sacr e du Quatri me au Dixi me Si cle dans les Anciens v ch s de Gen ve Lausanne Et Sion Classic Reprint written by Jean Daniel Blavignac and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Histoire de l'Architecture Sacrée du Quatrième au Dixième Siècle dans les Anciens Évèchés de Genève, Lausanne Et Sion Un mot, en terminant, surles classifications architecturales. Trois grandes divisions primaire secondaire et tertiaire autrement romane, gothique et de la renaissance, sont admises dans le langage ordinaire rien ne s'oppose à leur conservation. Notre ouvrage se rapporte à la première de ces classes, Pri maire ou Romane. Quant aux coupures spéciales, chaque position géographique a les siennes propres; nous avons établi les nôtres suivant nos monuments, et nous connaissons trop les inconvénients d'un système unique de classification pour prétendre à l'extension d'une division essentiellement locale. A l'origine, notre ouvrage devait ètre purement descriptif; mais l'état mal précisé de la science nous a conduit à lui donner très souvent une tournure didactique. Comme traité théorique, la table finale expose le résume de nos doctrines; celle qui suit cette préface se rapporte spécialement à la partie descriptive.

Book American Religion

    Book Details:
  • Author : Mark A. A. Chaves
  • Publisher : Princeton University Press
  • Release : 2017-08-29
  • ISBN : 0691177562
  • Pages : 172 pages

Download or read book American Religion written by Mark A. A. Chaves and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2017-08-29 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most authoritative resource on religious trends in America—now fully updated Most Americans say they believe in God, and more than a third say they attend religious services every week. Yet studies show that people do not really go to church as often as they claim, and it is not always clear what they mean when they tell pollsters they believe in God or pray. American Religion presents the best and most up-to-date information about religious trends in the United States, in a succinct and accessible manner. This sourcebook provides essential information about key developments in American religion since 1972, and is the first major resource of its kind to appear in more than two decades. Mark Chaves looks at trends in diversity, belief, involvement, congregational life, leadership, liberal Protestant decline, and polarization. He draws on two important surveys: the General Social Survey, an ongoing survey of Americans' changing attitudes and behaviors, begun in 1972; and the National Congregations Study, a survey of American religious congregations across the religious spectrum. Chaves finds that American religious life has seen much continuity in recent decades, but also much change. He challenges the popular notion that religion is witnessing a resurgence in the United States—in fact, traditional belief and practice is either stable or declining. Chaves examines why the decline in liberal Protestant denominations has been accompanied by the spread of liberal Protestant attitudes about religious and social tolerance, how confidence in religious institutions has declined more than confidence in secular institutions, and a host of other crucial trends. Now with updated data and a new preface by the author, this revised edition provides essential information about key developments in American religion since 1972, plainly showing that religiosity is declining in America.
