Download or read book Economics and Literature written by Ҫınla Akdere and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-27 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the Middle Ages, literature has portrayed the economic world in poetry, drama, stories and novels. The complexity of human realities highlights crucial aspects of the economy. The nexus linking characters to their economic environment is central in a new genre, the "economic novel", that puts forth economic choices and events to narrate social behavior, individual desires, and even non-economic decisions. For many authors, literary narration also offers a means to express critical viewpoints about economic development, for example in regards to its ecological or social ramifications. Conflicts of economic interest have social, political and moral causes and consequences. This book shows how economic and literary texts deal with similar subjects, and explores the ways in which economic ideas and metaphors shape literary texts, focusing on the analogies between economic theories and narrative structure in literature and drama. This volume also suggests that connecting literature and economics can help us find a common language to voice new, critical perspectives on crises and social change. Written by an impressive array of experts in their fields, Economics and Literature is an important read for those who study history of economic thought, economic theory and philosophy, as well as literary and critical theory.

Download or read book Perspectives on Gratitude written by David Carr and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-05 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychologists, philosophers, theologians and educationalists have all lately explored various conceptual, moral, psychological and pedagogical dimensions of gratitude in a rapidly expanding academic and popular literature. However, while the distinguished contributors to this work hail from these distinct disciplines, they have been brought together in this volume precisely in recognition of the need for a more interdisciplinary perspective on the topic. While further developing such more familiar debates in the field as whether it is appropriate to feel grateful in circumstances in which there is no obvious benefactor, whether it is proper to feel grateful to those who have benefited one only from a sense of duty and whether it makes sense to be grateful if so doing colludes with injustice, the essays in this collection explore a wide variety of fresh conceptual, psychological and moral issues. For example, in addition to identifying some new moral paradoxes about gratitude and seeking a generally more morally discriminating approach to gratitude education, relations are explored between gratitude and humility, forgiveness and appreciation and the religious and spiritual dimensions of the concept are also given much overdue attention. By drawing together serious academic engagement with the study of gratitude and a serious attempt to undertake this within an interdisciplinary perspective, Perspectives on Gratitude will be of value to academics and graduate students in the fields of philosophy, psychology and theology, as well as other research-based disciplines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ean Baptiste Grenouille starts his life in the squalor of Paris in 1738, born amidst the filth of a fish heap. His surroundings are filthy and repulsive, setting the tone for his early years. Despite the unsavory conditions, Grenouille develops an exceptional sense of smell from a young age. Unfortunately, he faces rejection from his mother, who mistakenly believes he was stillborn, leading her to abandon him and his siblings, resulting in her execution. This leaves Grenouille as an orphan, compelled to move from one place to another, as no one is willing to provide a permanent home. Only a few individuals briefly care for him until he ultimately ends up in the care of a nursemaid. Grenouille grows up devoid of the love and warmth of human connection, as he is rejected by both his mother and society due to his lack of a natural body aroma. Faced with this rejection, he directs his focus towards his extraordinary sense of smell, becoming fixated on all things related to odor. From an early age, he harbors an obsession with capturing every scent in the world, constructing his own world by meticulously cataloging each fragrance he encounters. Frequently wandering alone, he immerses himself in the act of smelling everything around him. During his youth, Grenouille exhibits an exceptional talent for crafting perfumes, even surviving exposure to harmful gases while working for a tanner. Undeterred, he continues his quest for unique scents throughout the city. His journey takes a dark turn when he becomes captivated by the fragrance of a young girl in rue de Marais, leading to a tragic outcome. Driven by an insatiable desire to possess the divine scent of the girl, Grenouille unintentionally causes her demise in the pursuit of his overwhelming ambition. Soon after the tragic incident, Grenouille's exceptional talent catches the attention of the renowned perfumer, Baldini, who takes him under his wing as an apprentice. Grenouille flourishes under Baldini's guidance, creating an outstanding perfume that elevates him to the status of a master perfumer and brings wealth. Despite his success, Grenouille indulges in peculiar experiments, such as attempting to distill the essence of porcelain and even extracting the unique scent from his own body, including his hair. These endeavors prove unsuccessful, resulting in a period of illness lasting several weeks. During his recovery, Grenouille discovers an alternative technique for capturing the human scent that differs from distillation. Upon conceiving the idea, Grenouille embarks on a journey to depart from Paris and make his way to Grasse. However, midway through his trek, an overwhelming sense of confinement in the societal roles of humanity takes hold. Fueled by the longstanding rejection he has endured since birth, he decides to distance himself from human existence. The rural surroundings intensify his aversion to the scent of people, prompting him to adopt an indifferent stance toward the world. Grenouille chooses seclusion, seeking refuge in the tunnel of the mountain of solitude, marking the beginning of a seven-year period of self-imposed isolation. During this time, he endeavors to unravel his own distinctive scent. The tunnel becomes a space where he grapples with delusions, hallucinations, and disorganized behavior. A particularly nightmarish experience, considered a delusion of persecution, coupled with the realization that he lacks a personal scent, prompts his return to the realm of humanity. In a sudden shift, he no longer avoids things associated with human existence. Employing cunning tactics, Grenouille deceives people by fabricating a tale of being captured by thieves. Through a series of captivating performances showcasing his talents, he manages to make his way to Grasse, where he encounters Madame Arnulfi. Under her guidance, he learns a new method for perfume production. However, an atmosphere of alarm descends upon the town when news of a murderer targeting women spreads. Grenouille, adopting a sinister modus operandi, breaks into homes, leaving behind his victims unclothed and with shaved heads. After claiming the lives of twenty-four girls, his murderous spree inexplicably halts. A perceptive wealthy man discerns the pattern in the killings and becomes aware that his daughter, Laura, might be the next target. In an attempt to protect her, he endeavors to leave the town, but Grenouille is relentless, tracking and stealing Laura's scent, just as he did with his previous victims. Shortly after Grenouille murders Laura, he is apprehended and condemned to death. Strikingly, he exhibits no sense of guilt either for the heinous acts committed or when facing police capture. Undergoes torture during police interrogation, he remains defiant, admitting to nothing beyond his need for the scents of the girls. On the day of his execution, an enveloping perfume surrounds Grenouille like an aura. Realizing the potency of the perfume he created, the crowd is captivated, cheering and considering him an angel. Yet, to Grenouille, their love and adoration transform into hatred. The realization dawns that his attained supremacy elicits not happiness but repulsion and animosity. Despite being the object of adoration, he feels unloved, purposeless, and devoid of meaning. Faced with this disillusionment, he returns to Paris. In the city, Grenouille encounters a group of primitive people engaging in open campfire lovemaking. Seeking acceptance, he deliberately applies his secret perfume. The impact is so profound that the group devours him like cannibals until nothing remains, marking a stark and unsettling end to Grenouille's complex and troubled journey.

This book was released on 2018-03-09 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intersection between morality and emotion is not always easily discernible.

The book reviews emerging paths and features contributions from distinct scientific fields including highly debated and somewhat controversial topics such as the relationship between empathy and in-group biases; emotion and irrationality; reflexivity and meta-emotions; shame and pro-social behaviour; the evolution of human jealousy; the role of love in driving moral motivation; individuals’ wellbeing; behavioural economics; social robotics; historical considerations of medical societies and politics of sadism; and literary reflections on sympathy and emigration. Covering various methodological angles and entanglements, New Interdisciplinary Landscapes in Morality and Emotion will appeal to anyone interested in multidisciplinary dialogues from across the humanities, sciences, and the social sciences.

Download or read book The Psychology of Translation written by Séverine Hubscher-Davidson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-11-30 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on work from scholars in both psychology and translation studies, this collection offers new perspectives on what Holmes (1972) called ‘translation psychology’. This interdisciplinary volume brings together contributions addressing translation from the vantage point of different applied branches of psychology, including critical-developmental psychology, occupational psychology, and forensic psychology. Current theoretical and methodological practices in these areas have the potential to strengthen and diversify how translators’ decision-making and problem-solving behaviours are understood, but many sub-branches of psychology have lacked visibility so far in the translation studies literature. The Psychology of Translation: An Interdisciplinary Approach therefore seeks to expand our understanding of translator behaviour by bringing to the fore new schools of thought and conceptualisations. Some chapters report on empirical studies, while others provide a review of research in a particular area of psychology of relevance to translation and translators. Written by a range of leading figures and authorities in psychology and translation, it offers unique contributions that can enrich translation process research and provide a means of encouraging further development in the area of translation psychology. This book will be of interest to scholars working at the intersection of translation and psychology, in such fields as translation studies, affective science, narrative psychology, and work psychology, amongst other areas. It will be of particular interest to researchers and postgraduate students in translation studies.
