Download or read book Emotion and Devotion written by Miri Rubin and published by Central European University Press. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Emotion and Devotion Miri Rubin explores the craft of the historian through a series of studies of medieval religious cultures. In three original chapters she approaches the medieval figure of the Virgin Mary with the aim of unravelling meaning and experience. Hymns and miracle tales, altarpieces and sermons – a wide range of sources from many European regions – are made to reveal the creativity and richness which they elicited in medieval people, women and men, clergy and laity, people of status and riches as well as those of modest means. The first chapter, "The Global 'Middle Ages'," considers the current historiographical frame for the study of religious cultures and suggests ways in which the Middle Ages can be made more global. Next, "Mary, and Others" examines the polemical situations around Mary, and the location of Muslims and Jews within them. The third chapter, "Emotions and Selves," tracks the sentimental education experienced by Europeans in the late Middle Ages through devotional encounters with the figure of the Virgin Mary in word, image and sound. Each year one scholar of world fame is invited to present lectures in the framework of the Natalie Zemon Davis Annual Lecture Series at the Central European University, Budapest. This is the second volume in the series of published lectures.

Download or read book Saracen Tales written by Giuseppe Bonaviri and published by Crossings. This book was released on 2007 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fiction. Short Stories. Translated from the Italian by Barbara De Marco. In SARACEN TALES, Italian-born Giuseppe Bonaviri brings a wild newness to the tale of the life of Jesus. In this succession of stories, Bonaviri explores all manners of the known and unknown, the archetypal, the mythological, the symbolic--the life of Jesus is both his material and his point of departure. Part surrealism, part folklore, readers will be amazed at the originality and creativity with which a long-familiar tale is presented. "Bonaviri is a myth-maker, looking simultaneously to the historical past and to the future, to arrive at the a-historical, at cosmic universality"--Franco Zangrilli. Giuseppe Bonaviri was born in 1924 in Sicily. He began writing when he was ten and continued through high school, college, and in his professional life as a doctor, health official, and cardiologist. His work has been widely translated.

Download or read book Media Technology and Literature in the Nineteenth Century written by Dr Colette Colligan and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-05-28 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Operating at the intersection where new technology meets literature, this collection discovers the relationship among image, sound, and touch in the long nineteenth century. The chapters speak to the special mixed-media properties of literature, while exploring the important interconnections of science, technology, and art at the historical moment when media was being theorized, debated, and scrutinized. Each chapter focuses on a specific visual, acoustic, or haptic dimension of media, while also calling attention to the relationships among the three. Famous works such as Wordsworth's "I wandered lonely as a cloud" and Shelley's Frankenstein are discussed alongside a range of lesser-known literary, scientific, and pornographic writings. Topics include the development of a print culture for the visually impaired; the relationship between photography and narrative; the kaleidoscope and modern urban experience; Christmas gift books; poetry, painting and music as remediated forms; the interface among the piano, telegraph, and typewriter; Ernst Heinrich Weber's model of rationalized tactility; and how the shift from visual to auditory telegraphic instruments amplified anxieties about the place of women in nineteenth-century information networks. Full of surprising insights and connections, the collection offers new impetus for stimulating historical conversations and debates about nineteenth-century media, while also contributing fresh perspectives on new media and (re)mediation today.

Download or read book Dante written by Erich Auerbach and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2007-01-16 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Erich Auerbach’s Dante: Poet of the Secular World is an inspiring introduction to one of world’s greatest poets as well as a brilliantly argued and still provocative essay in the history of ideas. Here Auerbach, thought by many to be the greatest of twentieth-century scholar-critics, makes the seemingly paradoxical claim that it is in the poetry of Dante, supreme among religious poets, and above all in the stanzas of his Divine Comedy, that the secular world of the modern novel first took imaginative form. Auerbach’s study of Dante, a precursor and necessary complement to Mimesis, his magisterial overview of realism in Western literature, illuminates both the overall structure and the individual detail of Dante’s work, showing it to be an extraordinary synthesis of the sensuous and the conceptual, the particular and the universal, that redefined notions of human character and fate and opened the way into modernity.

Download or read book Pol tica criminal de la propiedad intelectual written by Pablo Rando Casermeiro and published by J.M Bosch. This book was released on 2022-08-31 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La presente obra ofrece una visión de conjunto de la política criminal aplicada a una realidad tan cambiante y compleja como es la de los delitos contra la propiedad intelectual. En la regulación penal, pasada y presente, de las infracciones a los derechos de autor, han confluido múltiples factores que no pueden ser abarcados atendiendo solamente a realidades internas de cada país. Por esa razón, las páginas de este libro comienzan tratando los mecanismos globales que moldean la política criminal de la propiedad intelectual. Desde los tratados de comercio, bilaterales y multilaterales, que establecen nuevos compromisos de incriminación, a los instrumentos coercitivos utilizados por un país protagonista en la exportación de su política criminal doméstica, como es Estados Unidos, se va pasando revista a los diferentes resortes que estimulan las reformas penales en la materia a lo largo y ancho del globo. Es solo tras la comprensión de los condicionantes externos de la protección jurídico-penal de los creadores de obras del ingenio cuando estamos en condiciones de afrontar las claves político-criminales de la realidad española. A tal fin, el trabajo prosigue con un detallado examen de todas las reformas de los delitos relativos a la propiedad intelectual habidas desde 1987 a la actualidad. En tal proceder, se combina el análisis dogmático con una aproximación a la política legislativa penal, tratando con ello de aportar luz sobre los procesos de gestación de los diferentes cambios por los que ha transitado la política criminal española en este fascinante campo del derecho penal. Una vez recorrido este largo camino por la evolución de los delitos contra la propiedad intelectual, el autor finaliza ofreciendo su propio modelo de política criminal de la propiedad intelectual, utilizando para ello, como herramientas fundamentales, los principios vertebradores de la intervención penal. El resultado es una propuesta restrictiva de la intervención penal en este sector de la propiedad inmaterial, que aprovecha las potencialidades de otros sectores del ordenamiento en la respuesta a las infracciones a los derechos de autor. Pablo Rando Casermeiro es Profesor Contratado Doctor de Derecho Penal y Criminología en la Universidad de Sevilla. Se doctoró en la Universidad de Málaga en 2009, con la tesis “La distinción entre el Derecho penal y el Derecho administrativo sancionador. Un análisis de política jurídica”, publicada posteriormente en una monografía. Ha dedicado buena parte de su carrera académica a los delitos relativos a la propiedad intelectual, contribuyendo con diversos artículos y capítulos de libro a una obra que abarca un abordaje jurídico, criminológico y político-criminal de los principales problemas implicados en las vulneraciones de los derechos de autor. La culminación de dicha investigación es la presente monografía, sobre “Política Criminal de la Propiedad Intelectual. Aspectos globales e internos”, donde cristalizan once años de dedicación constante a esta apasionante materia. Asimismo, se ha especializado en políticas de seguridad pública, centrando su análisis en las técnicas de control de los espacios públicos llevadas a cabo por los entes locales desde una perspectiva multidisciplinar y comparada. En la actualidad, su principal línea de investigación es la exclusión social provocada por los sistemas penales en diversos países occidentales, con especial atención a sus efectos en migrantes y colectivos en los márgenes. El autor ha sido investigador invitado en distintas universidades extranjeras, entre ellas la Universidad de Cambridge (Reino Unido), las Universidades de Maguncia, Friburgo en Brisgovia y Münster (Alemania) y la Universidad de California Berkeley (Estados Unidos).
