Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Art does not produce the visible but makes visible," wrote Paul Klee. This work examines and reinterprets this important principle-- writing does not reproduce speech, it makes it visible-- through an in-depth history of writing across the globe, from ancient civilization to the modern day. "A History of Writing" analyzes the role of the image in writing from three perspectives: * Part one is devoted to the oldest, non-alphabetic methods of writing, and to the ingenious developments devised by civilizations that chose to adapt them to their language and culture: from the ancient development of cuneiform script in southern Mesopotamia, to the intricate ideographic scripts of China and Japan, or the still-to-be-deciphered rongo-rongo script of Easter Island. * Part two focuses on the history and dissemination of alphabets, examining the origins of the Western semitic alphabet and its "sister" Arabic alphabet script, through to the lesser-known scripts of the Caucasus or of sub-Saharan Africa. * Part three, finally, examines the reincorporation of imagery into the Western alphabet, looking at various hand-written and printed forms, from the sumptuous illuminations of the "Book of Kells" to the rise of printing and of typographic forms in modern times, leading to questions over how different writing systems are now adapting in a world that is increasingly dominated by computer technology. In total, fifty-eight lavishly illustrated chapters present detailed yet accessible commentaries from a team of leading specialists in the study of writing. Together they explain and clarify the birth, evolution, and dissemination of over thirty key scripts and alphabets and theirnumerous derivatives. The breadth and scope of material covered, along with the detailed sources of documentation provided, make "A History of Writing" an essential and exciting new contribution to existing scholarship on this fascinating subject.

Book D un nom    l autre en Asie du Sud Est

Download or read book D un nom l autre en Asie du Sud Est written by Josiane Massard-Vincent and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 1999-01-01 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Qui nomme-t-on ? Quand nomme-t-on ? Comment nomme-t-on ? Qui nomme ?... Toute société peut faire l'objet de ces questions. L'ethnologie a la particularité de se les poser toutes à la fois, ce qui la rend à même d'articuler la nomination à l'organisation sociale, voire plus largement à la cosmologie. Cet ouvrage analyse les pratiques nominales à partir de données ethnographiques de première main recueillies dans différentes sociétés d'Asie du Sud-Est et représentant un large spectre en termes de démographie (de quelques milliers à plusieurs millions de représentants), géographie (sociétés insulaires ou continentales), religion, langue, histoire, système de parenté, rapport à l'espace et au temps, stratification sociale, ritualisation... Les usages nominaux étudiés ici sont à l'image de cette diversité : dans chaque société se combinent, de manière originale, stock onomastique fermé ou ouvert, homonymie ou particularisation, transmission ou création, modèle local ou influences extérieures... Mais toutes ces sociétés ont en commun l'existence d'un " vrai nom ", premier et indissociable de la personne. Sa dation n'est pas marquée par un rituel distinct : elle fait partie, au même titre que d'autres actes, de l'introduction du nouveau-né dans la société. Le vrai nom est accompagné d'autres noms attribués de manière synchronique ou diachronique, délimitant ainsi des sphères sociales ou des étapes de la vie.
