Download or read book Vision s Invisibles written by Véronique M. Fóti and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although philosophy today has abandoned its former fascination with transcendent invisibles, it has left largely unexamined historical articulations of the divide between 'the visible' and 'the invisible.' Vision's Invisibles argues that such a self-examination is necessary for the sensitization of philosophical sight, as well as for engagements with visuality in other domains. To this end, it investigates a range of challenging understandings of visuality in its relation to invisibles, as articulated in the texts of key historical thinkers—Heraclitus, Plato, and Descartes—and of twentieth-century philosophers, including Foucault, Merleau-Ponty, Nancy, Derrida, and Heidegger.

Download or read book Picturing the Invisible written by Paul Coldwell and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2022-01-17 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Picturing the Invisible presents different disciplinary approaches to articulating the invisible, that which is not known or that which is not provable. The challenge that we have seen is how to articulate these concepts, not only to those within a particular academic field but beyond, to other disciplines and society at large. As our understanding of the complexity of the world grows incrementally, so does our realisation that issues and problems can rarely be resolved within neat demarcations. Therefore, the importance of finding means of communicating across disciplines and fields becomes a priority. Whilst acknowledging the essential importance of the specialist academic, the capacity to understand other disciplines, their priorities, methodologies and even the language used can become crucial in being an effective instrument for change. This book brings together insights from leading academics from a wide range of disciplines including Art and Design, Curatorial Practice, Literature, Forensic Science, Medical Science, Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy, Philosophy, Astrophysics and Architecture with a shared interest in exploring how, in each discipline, we strive to find expression for the invisible or unknown, and to draw out and articulate some of the explicit and tacit ways of communicating those concepts that transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries.
Download or read book The Invisibles written by Zia Jaffrey and published by Vintage. This book was released on 1998-02-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this superb work of investigative reporting, Zia Jaffrey pursues the riddle of India's most elusive subculture, the cross-dressing and often-castrated figures known as "hijras" whose very name means neither male nor female. Are the hijras lucky or dangerous? Are they a nurturing community of outcasts or a criminal network that kidnaps and mutilates recruits? Do they number in the thousands or in the millions? As she talks with policemen, a unionizer of eunuchs, and with the hijras themselves, Jaffrey unravels veils of rumor and deception to locate the nature of our sexual and social thresholds, and the people who dwell on them. Deeply resonant, uniquely insightful, The Invisibles is an enthralling work. "A magnificent journey. Jaffrey writes about this fascinating and delicate subject with human understanding and warmth."--Ryszard Kapuscinski "Sensitively written...eloquent...and compassionate."--New York Times Book Review
Download or read book Grant Morrison written by Marc Singer and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most eclectic and distinctive writers currently working in comics, Grant Morrison (b. 1960) brings the auteurist sensibility of alternative comics and graphic novels to the popular genres-superhero, science fiction, and fantasy-that dominate the American and British comics industries. His comics range from bestsellers featuring the most universally recognized superhero franchises (All-Star Superman, New X-Men, Batman) to more independent, creator-owned work (The Invisibles, The Filth, We3) that defies any generic classification. In Grant Morrison: Combining the Worlds of Contemporary Comics, author Marc Singer examines how Morrison uses this fusion of styles to intervene in the major political, aesthetic, and intellectual challenges of our time. His comics blur the boundaries between fantasy and realism, mixing autobiographical representation and cultural critique with heroic adventure. They offer self-reflexive appraisals of their own genres while they experiment with the formal elements of comics. Perhaps most ambitiously, they challenge contemporary theories of language and meaning, seeking to develop new modes of expression grounded in comics' capacity for visual narrative and the fantasy genres' ability to make figurative meanings literal.

Download or read book The Infinite Longing for Home written by David C. L. Lim and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2005 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Infinite Longing for Home is a groundbreaking study of Ben Okri's and K.S. Maniam's literary problematization of 'home' in relation to subjectivity and the nation within and beyond the context of Nigeria and Malaysia. Drawing on Lacan, Zizek, Laclau and Mouffe, and weaving through history, politics, philosophy and literature, this book critically examines the motives and means by which peoples forced to live together in a country love and hate each other, and overlook the truths about themselves, their actions and beliefs. It looks into why some embrace heterogeneity and open-endedness while others are internally compelled to over-identify passionately with their religion and race, and to posit theirs as irreducibly distinct from and superior to others'. The Infinite Longing for Home also traces through Okri's and Maniam's writings a way out of today's political aporia, a path to the re-creation of a new society humbled and unified by the recognition of its participation in flawed humanity.

Download or read book The Invisibles written by Donia Gobar and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2003 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Invisibles, a unique collection of poetry and artwork, is a creation in which the style of written words and brush strokes takes the reader into an amazing and brave world, where the magical dawns and exotic twilights of the East and West intertwine; where days and nights seek each other in the fantastic voyage of life. Each poem is a previously untold story from the world of the invisible, whose voices we may not hear and whose faces we may not see; whose pain we may not feel and whose languages we may not understand; and whose heroism we may not notice. These are the innocent and noble human beings that are pressured by social injustice, caught in the crossfire of mindless and violent powers. This book includes 19 prints of original paintings. These paintings reflect some of the artist's thoughts and perceptions throughout a stormy life across the continents.

The Voice inside his head instructs him to follow the path which lies before him, and along the way must collect ten very unique keys. Once all ten keys have been recovered, he will find his way home, if not, he may never find his way, and remain lost forever. During the journey, he meets many intriguing people, encounters many obstacles and difficulties, and has to make numerous timely and spontaneous decisions. Soon into the quest, he befriends an old woman who needs his assistance, but says she knows the way. Shortly thereafter, they meet a leper, whose intentions are obvious, he wants to tag along. The child is now heavily burdened with the responsibility of two individuals having obvious physical limitations, and who quickly develop a contemptible resentment for each other. Frustration peaks and the challenges become seemingly insurmountable. The child struggles to maintain composure, make the correct choices, and locate the keys. The elusive keys are his only salvation, and the only hope of finding his way home. The stage is set, and the odyssey is about to begin.

Download or read book Superheroes of the Round Table written by Jason Tondro and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2011-10-14 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few scholars nursed on the literary canon would dispute that knowledge of Western literature benefits readers and writers of the superhero genre. This analysis of superhero comics as Romance literature shows that the reverse is true--knowledge of the superhero romance has something to teach critics of traditional literature. Establishing the comic genre as a cousin to Arthurian myth, Spenser, and Shakespeare, it uses comics to inform readings of The Faerie Queene, The Tempest, Malory's Morte and more, while employing authors like Ben Johnson to help explain comics by Alan Moore, Jack Kirby, and Grant Morrison and characters like Iron Man, the Hulk, the X-Men, and the Justice League. Scholars of comics, medieval and Renaissance literature alike will find it appealing.
Download or read book Sex and the Intelligence of the Heart written by Julie McIntyre and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-04-26 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explores how Nature underlies sexuality and intimacy • Examines how to regain intimacy in our relationships in a way that embraces our hidden wild nature and restores the sacred to our lives • Provides sacred sex and intimacy-building practices for partners and exercises to reconnect with the intuitive intelligence of the heart, remove our emotional armor, and cultivate a deeper relationship with the Earth • Shows how by healing our relationship with Nature and our sexuality, we move toward healing the whole planet Nature is having sex all the time--that’s one of the reasons we feel so alive when we are immersed in it. Sexuality is essential to the sensation of Nature in your own body, of connecting to the piece of Earth closest to you--your own flesh and bones. Many a couple has been overcome by passion while walking in the woods or on the beach; many a soul has found solace or epiphany in Nature. Living in accordance with Nature depends on you being your true, whole self--a sexual, sensual, erotic, fully alive human being. Exploring the territory of intimacy, sacred sex, and emotional healing as a journey to wholeness, Julie McIntyre examines the sacred relationship between sexuality and the Earth and reveals how to create deep, lasting intimacy with your lover by recapturing the wild, spontaneous, natural sexuality that is your birthright. Detailing the process of moving from your head to the secret garden of your heart, she provides exercises to heal your psyche of old emotional trauma, reconnect with the intuitive intelligence of the heart, and cultivate a deeper relationship with the Earth in order to trust yourself and become vulnerable and open with your lover and thus truly intimate. She shows how there is a direct relationship between our beliefs and values about sex and intimacy and our beliefs and values about the environment and the Earth. She reveals how, by healing our separation from Nature and our sexuality, we can bring the sacred back into our lives, shape our own ecstatic sexual experiences, and move toward healing the whole planet.
