Download or read book Emerging Visions of the Aesthetic Process written by Gerald C. Cupchik and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1992-09-25 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emerging Visions of the Aesthetic Process explores the processes underlying aesthetics and play from the perspectives of psychologists, philosophers, and semiologists. It reveals the different ways in which scholars think about the following questions: (1) What is the origin of the creative process? (2) How do biological, social, and cognitive processes shape the activities of artists and the responses of viewers? (3) How does literary activity draw on our experiences of everyday life and how is it tied to other kinds of media? (4) How does play affect the process of growth from childhood to adulthood? The contributors consider artistic, literary, and play activity from its most biological roots through individual cognitive and emotional processing to its expression at the social level. Emerging Visions of the Aesthetic Process offers a stimulating basis for the discussion of aesthetic processes and will serve as an integrative, comprehensive treatise on the topic for researchers and students.
Download or read book The Mystery of Sex written by Elizabeth Keyes and published by Gentle Living Publications. This book was released on 1975 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What causes men and women to have almost opposite concepts of the word ?love?? Why do men feel superior to women? Why do women find it easier to use intuition than logic? Why can men fight, shake hands and forget it, but women who fight never forget it? Why the importance given virginity in women but not in men? Why have women revolted against their natural role of motherhood? Why homosexuality? Are we missing greater experiences by confining sex to a physical level?These and other questions are answered in this book, from sources of ancient and modern wisdom, gathered by the author over many years of study and research.Sex is one of the most dominating subjects of our time. It is substituted for love; it is used with love and without love. People are confused about it. Some do not know which sex they are. It is the most misunderstood, misused and commercialized force in our culture. Polarity exists on every level, and is essential to the creation of all life. An understanding of this principle brings harmony out of conflict; cooperation instead of competition.

In this book, the golden mouse is used as a model to explore conceptual issues in ecology across all levels of organization from organism to landscape, integrating reductionist and holistic ecological science.

Download or read book Madder Red written by Robert Chenciner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Madder red is an ancient dyestuff, extracted from the root of the madder plant, growing in many countries around the world. The secret and devilishly complex Oriental dyeing process to obtain the lustrous colour known as Turkey Red was avidly sought by Europeans, from the time before the fall of Ancient Rome. It was finally cracked by the French about 1760, who were able to dye wool, silk and cotton bright red. After the lowlands of the Caspian Caucasus had been subdued by the Russians in the early 1800s, madder was cultivated there and rapidly became the main crop. The quest for Turkey Red went hand in hand with an avalanche of scientific research, which not only improved the yield of dyestuff from the roots but led to its chemical synthesis and in 1870 the collapse of the world-wide madder industry. Many of the nascent dye companies grew into chemical giants of our time. Further regional and cultural background may be found in Chenciner's Daghestan: Tradition and Survival, also published in the Caucasus World series.
Download or read book New Perspectives on Prehistoric Art written by Günter Berghaus and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2004-04-30 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the discovery of Franco-Caribbean cave art in the nineteenth century, standard interpretations of these works usually revolved around hunting, magic, and fertility cults. Orthodox positions such as these have weighed heavily on later generations of art historians, archaeologists, and anthropologists, even those whose views dissented from those of their predecessors. In the last few decades, however, new approaches to cave art, often based on discoveries made in Africa, Asia, Australia, North America, and the Arctic region, have produced new insights into possible meanings and functions of prehistoric paintings and sculptures. This new collection of essays explores these insights, gathering the observations of eight experts from a variety of disciplines, and examining some of the social and spiritual functions of a variety of artistic genres ranging from 40,000 B.C. to 5,000 B.C. These insights, which derive from evolutionary biology, feminist scholarship, ritual studies, and new modes of anthropology, argue collectively that prehistoric art was a culture-specific form of communication that should be interpreted in the social context of early hunger-gatherer societies and should not be measured with the criteria and paradigms of modern art. Essential reading for anyone interested in prehistoric art or its cultural implications, this volume represents a bold step forward in the research and analysis of the very first artists.
Download or read book Minoan Signs written by GJK Campbell-Dunn and published by eBook Partnership. This book was released on 2014-06-19 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Minoan Linear Signs have now been explained as Niger-Congo. And some twenty five full words have been related to Fula. Problematic words of Greek have also been given tentative African etymologies. A new African language, four thousand years old, has come to light in the Linear A documents. So we claim a decipherment, or at least the beginnings of a decipherment. Only time will give us a full solution. But we can say that the "e;unknown language"e; is no longer unknown. It is African.
Download or read book Cybele Attis and Related Cults written by Eugene N. Lane and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-08-27 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together articles on the cult of the mother-goddess Cybele and her consort Attis, from the emergence of the religion in Anatolia through its expansion into Greece and Italy to the latest times of the Roman Empire and its farthest extent west, the Iberian Peninsula. It combines the work of established scholars with that of young researchers in the field, and represents a truly international perspective. The reader will find treatment inter alia of Cybele's emasculated priests, the Galli; the dissemination of Cybele-cult through the harbour city, Miletus; the cult of Cybele in Ephesus; the rock-cut sanctuary of Cybele at Akrai in Sicily; the competition between the Cybele-cult and Christianity; and the role of Attis in Neo-Platonic philosophy.
