Download or read book The Digital Humanist written by Domenico Fiormonte and published by punctum books. This book was released on 2015 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a critical introduction to the core technologies underlying the Internet from a humanistic perspective. It provides a cultural critique of computing technologies, by exploring the history of computing and examining issues related to writing, representing, archiving and searching. The book raises awareness of, and calls for, the digital humanities to address the challenges posed by the linguistic and cultural divides in computing, the clash between communication and control, and the biases inherent in networked technologies. A common problem with publications in the Digital Humanities is the dominance of the Anglo-American perspective. While seeking to take a broader view, the book attempts to show how cultural bias can become an obstacle to innovation both in the methodology and practice of the Digital Humanities. Its central point is that no technological instrument is culturally unbiased, and that all too often the geography that underlies technology coincides with the social and economic interests of its producers. The alternative proposed in the book is one of a world in which variation, contamination and decentralization are essential instruments for the production and transmission of digital knowledge. It is thus necessary not only to have spaces where DH scholars can interact (such as international conferences, THATCamps, forums and mailing lists), but also a genuine sharing of technological know-how and experience. "This is a truly exceptional work on the subject of the digital....Students and scholars new to the field of digital humanities will find in this book a gentle introduction to the field, which I cannot but think would be good and perhaps even inspirational for them....Its history of the development of machines and programs and communities bent on using computers to advance science and research merely sets the stage for an insightful analysis of the role of the digital in the way both scholars and everyday people communicate and conceive of themselves and "others" in written forms - from treatises to credit card transactions." Peter Shillingsburg The Digital Humanist is not simply a translation of the Italian book L'umanista digitale (il Mulino 2010), but a new version tailored to an international audience through the improvement and expansion of the sections on social, cultural and ethical problems of the most widely used methodologies, resources and applications.

Download or read book Studi sul barocco romano written by Maria Grazia Bernardini and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Questa raccolta di scritti di storia dell'arte, promossa dalla Direzione Generale per il Patrimonio Storico Artistico e Demoetnoantropologico del Ministero per i Beni e le Attività Culturali, vuole essere un omaggio a un grande e appassionato storico dell'arte, Maurizio Fagiolo Dell'Arco. In considerazione dei suoi specifici interessi sull'arte barocca, cui Maurizio ha dedicato gran parte della sua attività di studioso, numerosi colleghi e amici, italiani e stranieri, hanno voluto ricordarlo con contributi sul barocco romano. Così i saggi spaziano da Caravaggio, con interventi di Marini e Curzietti, alla scuola bolognese, con testi di Montanari, Carloni, Guarino, Loire, Schleier, all'amatissimo Giovan Lorenzo Bernini, con saggi di Lavin e di Del Pesco; e ancora saggi su Cortona e cortoneschi, oggetto di uno dei suoi ultimi libri (saggi di Lo Bianco e Fisher Pace), su Pierre Lemaire, (Brejon de Lavergnée), sul Gaulli, di cui Maurizio Fagiolo ha curato una magnifica mostra ad Ariccia (Debenedetti, Graf, Vodret). Altri contributi hanno affrontato temi sull'architettura (Marconi), sulla scultura (Cipriani, Pampalone), sull'arte decorativa e sugli apparati effimeri (González Palacios, Bilancia, Marcello Fagiolo, Franchi). A questi si aggiungono gli studi di Röttgen, Tiberia, Corradini, Rosenberg, Pantanella, Griseri, Guerrieri Borsoi, Sestieri, Petrucci, Negro, Prosperi Valenti Rodinò, Bernardini, Spinosa, Barbiellini Amidei, Boccardo, Barbera, Herrmann Fiore, Morello. Il volume, ricco di nuovi dati documentari, di nuove riflessioni critiche sull'arte seicentesca a Roma, di spunti per ulteriori indagini, costituisce uno strumento importantissimo di lavoro, proprio in sintonia con il pensiero di Maurizio Fagiolo Dell'Arco, sempre disponibile a confronti e consigli, che nel lontano 1967 aveva scritto (insieme con il fratello Marcello) il primo e l'unico catalogo dell'opera di Giovan Lorenzo Bernini, strumento ancora oggi validissimo e imprescindibile per chi voglia avvicinarsi allo studio del "regista del barocco".

Download or read book The Signifier and the Signified written by F. Noske and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The studies collected in this volume deal with the interpretation of opera. In most cases the results are based on structural analysis, a concept which may require some clarification in this context. During the past de cade 'structure' and 'structural' have become particularly fashionable terms lacking exact denotation and used for the most divergent purposes. As employed here, structural analysis is concerned with such concepts as 'relationship', 'coherence' and 'continuity', more or less in contrast to formal analysis which deals with measurable material. In other words, I have analysed the structure of an opera by seeking and examining factors in the musico-dramatic process, whereas analysts of form are generally preoccupied with the study of elements contained in the musical object. Though admittedly artificial, the dichotomy of form and structure may elucidate the present situation with regard to the study of opera. Today, nearly one hundred years after the death of Wagner, the proclaimed anti thesis of Oper und Drama is generally taken for what it really was: a means to propagate the philosophy of its inventor. The conception of opera (whether 'continuous' or composed of 'numbers') as a special form of drama is no longer contested. Nevertheless musical scholarship has failed to draw the consequences from this view and few scholars realize the need to study general theory of drama and more specifically the dramatic experience.

Download or read book The Brill Dictionary of Gregory of Nyssa written by Lucas Francisco Mateo Seco and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2010 with total page 840 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Brill Dictionary of Gregory of Nyssa is the fruit of wide-ranging collaboration between experts in Philology, Philosophy, History and Theology. These scholars shared the desire to develop a comprehensive reference work that would help attract more people to the tudy of the 'Father of Fathers' and assist them in their work. Gregory of Nyssa's thought is at once quintessentially classic and modern, as it speaks directly to the contemporary reader. As interest in Gregory has increased along with the number of works devoted to him, the need for a comprehensive introduction and bibliographical reference work has arisen. In order to meet this need, more than forty scholars from various disciplines and perspectives have contributed to this work. In two hundred articles, the Brill Dictionary of Gregory of Nyssa provides a symphonic vision of the studies on Gregory of Nyssa and his thought.

Download or read book The Imagined Immigrant written by Ilaria Serra and published by Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using original sources--such as newspaper articles, silent movies, letters, autobiographies, and interviews--Ilaria Serra depicts a large tapestry of images that accompanied mass Italian migration to the U.S. at the turn of the twentieth century. She chooses to translate the Italian concept of immaginario with the Latin imago that felicitously blends the double English translation of the word as "imagery" and "imaginary." Imago is a complex knot of collective representations of the immigrant subject, a mental production that finds concrete expression; impalpable, yet real. The "imagined immigrant" walks alongside the real one in flesh and rags.
