Download or read book Critical Social Theory written by Tim Dant and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2003 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critical theory has left an indelible mark on postwar social thought. But what are the relations between critical theory and 'the cultural turn' ? How did critical theory inform later French critical theorists, such as Lefebvre, Barthes and Baudrillard? This accomplished and accessible book: - Demonstrates the origins of critical theory in the Marxian analysis of the capitalist mode of production and Freudian psychoanalysis - Clearly explains the main achievements of critical theory - Elucidates how critical theory defines culture as a system that constrains and alienates the individual - Explores the potential for social change and personal emancipation in the critical heritage. The author locates the importance of myth and reason, the significance of sexuality, the place of work, the difference between art and entertainment, the nature of everyday life and the relationship between knowledge and action. The result is a lucid and informative text which will appeal to all students interested in the critical traditions of social thought.
Download or read book Palace of Narcissus written by Kit Ludlow and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-06-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Palace of Narcissus" is the ninth canto of Kit Ludlow's art-poetry epic, Orpheus. Years have passed since Orpheus journeyed into Hades to retrieve his wife. That adventure failed due to his cursed look back. After Bedlam, the famed poet wandered into Sheol, a forgotten underworld. He had no narrative; only lyrical verse to make sense of the world. In the fifth canto, Orpheus awakens from his daze to begin the reclamation of his wife, poetry. Orpheus, in the sixth canto, realizes he must sacrifice himself to Dionysus. In the seventh, "Dance for Danace", Orpheus discovers that he is no one. As no one, he calls for Charon to ferry him across the Styx and to the gates of Hades. There he tells Charon to pity the suicides. In the eighth canto, Orpheus is confronted by the sorrows of the shallow. There he must decide to continue his journey or rest. In the ninth canto, his vanity is tested. Every line of the poem is illustrated by the poet's own artwork. All artwork is original to the canto. It is conscious-made through many techniques and artistic modes (not AI generated).

Download or read book Fragmenta written by Euripides and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 648 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Euripides has been prized in every age for the pathos, terror, surprising plot twists, and intellectual probing of his dramatic creations. In this fifth volume of the new Loeb Classical Library Euripides, David Kovacs presents a freshly edited Greek text and a faithful and deftly worded translation of three plays. For his Helen the poet employs an alternative history in which a virtuous Helen never went to Troy but spent the war years in Egypt, falsely blamed for the adulterous behavior of her divinely created double in Troy. This volume also includes Phoenician Women, Euripides' treatment of the battle between the sons of Oedipus for control of Thebes; and Orestes, a novel retelling of Orestes' lot after he murdered his mother, Clytaemestra. Each play is annotated and prefaced by a helpful introduction.
Download or read book Echo and Narcissus written by Polona Petek and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2021-02-03 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Echo and Narcissus: Echolocating the Spectator in the Age of Audience Research came about as a response to the recent shift of focus in the studies of cinema. While the seventies and the eighties were marked by increasingly complex theorisations of spectatorship, the last two decades have witnessed a turn towards ethnographic research into film reception. However, this long overdue turn towards the empirical viewer has not produced a genuinely broader scope of analysis. It has rather, all too hastily, consigned the spectator, a textually constructed viewing position, to oblivion, thanks to the concept’s perceived hegemonic and totalising premise. Echo and Narcissus intervenes into this state of affairs by arguing for a productive nexus between theorisations of spectatorship and the currently more fashionable audience research. Petek maintains that an informed mapping of contemporary (and past) filmviewing practices still requires a spectatorial model and she offers such a model through a re-reading of Ovid’s tale of Echo and Narcissus. She demonstrates that the myth’s central role in traditional theorisations of spectatorship has not yet been properly reflected upon. Her critical recuperation of the Ovidian myth provides a revised model of the spectator—one with discursive access to all types of cinema, yet, flexible enough to accommodate a range of viewers’ responses and their cultural diversity.
Download or read book Interpretations of Greek Mythology Routledge Revivals written by Jan N. Bremmer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-18 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interpretations of Greek Mythology, first published in1987, builds on the innovative work of Walter Burkert and the ‘Paris school’ of Jean-Pierre Vernant, and represents a renewal of interpretation of Greek mythology. The contributors to this volume present a variety of approaches to the Greek myths, all of which eschew a monolithic or exclusively structuralist hermeneutic method. Specifically, the notion that mythology can simply be read as a primitive mode of narrative history is rejected, with emphasis instead being placed on the relationships between mythology and history, ritual and political genealogy. The essays concentrate on some of the best known characters and themes – Oedipus, Orpheus, Narcissus – reflecting the complexity and fascination of the Greek imagination. The volume will long remain an indispensable tool for the study of Greek mythology, and it is of great interest to anyone interested in the development of Greek culture and civilisation and the nature of myth.

Download or read book A Book of Myths written by Jean Lang and published by Jazzybee Verlag. This book was released on 2023-07-11 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A Book of Myths" deals in a most entertaining manner with the mythology of Greece and Rome and many other noted lands. Added to the pleasure of the story there is the lure of the legend and the spell of old ways and customs. Not only many of the most celebrated are retold, but also many of the less well-known tales. The aim of the author, it is stated, has been to simplify for those who are not erudite scholars the stories of mythology, to which constant reference is made not only in classic, but in modern poetry, and to direct the attention of readers to poems which are not already known to them. Included are tales of Prometheus, Pygmalion, Orpheus, Perseus, King Midas, Pan, the Lorelei, Baldur and many more.
