  • ISBN : 1580443958
  • Pages : 169 pages

Download or read book The Assembly of Gods written by Jane Chance and published by Medieval Institute Publications. This book was released on 1999-10-01 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Assembly of Gods, which was published near the end of the fifteenth century, is an allegorical dream vision poem. It is notable for its strange mixture of both classical and Christian sources, in which the classical pantheon debates over the moral state of an individual, in an attempt to bring Reson and Sensualyte into balance in the individual. This text is suitable for all levels of students with its introduction explaining the cultural and linguistic context of the text, as well as a gloss and notes. This volume is invaluable to those teaching courses on late medieval allegory and dream poems.

Book Seven Kine  Fatfleshed  A Theory Of Sleep And Dreams

Download or read book Seven Kine Fatfleshed A Theory Of Sleep And Dreams written by Simeon Locke and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-04-23 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the title (Genesis XLI :18) of the book indicates, interest in dreams goes back at least to Biblical times. It persisted during subsequent years to peak in the 20th century following publication of Sigmund Freud’s major work “The Interpretation of Dreams”. Freud was concerned with the psychology of dreams perhaps because biological science of that era was not ready to provide physiological explanation of the purpose of dreams. Much neuroscience has been discovered in the century since Freud to permit a new view of sleep and dreams. A great deal has been learned about the “what “of sleep: its stages, electrographic accompaniment, eye movements, muscle atonia and behavioral manifestations. There are ideas about the “why” of sleep: restorative processes, protein synthesis, secretion of growth hormone, clearing of adenosine, immunologic enhancement and consolidation of memory. Only a little is known of the “what” of dreams: cerebral areas that are activated and deactivated on imaging studies, cerebral lesions that cause loss of dreaming and a bit about ontogenesis. The “why” of dreams remains uncertain. In this brief monograph, Dr. Locke offers a bold new hypothesis about the purpose of the dream. Following chapters on sleep, memory and the structure of the dream he suggests that one function of sleep and dreams is to establish neurological cellular networks to accept new memories. The muscle atonia of REM sleep deactivates neural networks in motor cortex, cerebellum and basal ganglia to allow them to accept new motor algorithms of procedural memory. The structure of the transient and preparatory dream – its narrative and imagery – is selected during REM sleep by a largely inhibited hippocampus that permits only incomplete retrieval of neural assemblies accounting for the distortion, condensation, fusion and confusion of the dream. New neural assemblies are activated in parietal cortex by dreams that are promptly forgotten to allow the unoccupied network, held in readiness by snaptic tags, to accept new declarative memories in the waking state of the new day.

Book America s Assembly Line

Download or read book America s Assembly Line written by David E. Nye and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2013-02-15 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Model T to today's "lean manufacturing": the assembly line as crucial, yet controversial, agent of social and economic transformation. The mechanized assembly line was invented in 1913 and has been in continuous operation ever since. It is the most familiar form of mass production. Both praised as a boon to workers and condemned for exploiting them, it has been celebrated and satirized. (We can still picture Chaplin's little tramp trying to keep up with a factory conveyor belt.) In America's Assembly Line, David Nye examines the industrial innovation that made the United States productive and wealthy in the twentieth century. The assembly line—developed at the Ford Motor Company in 1913 for the mass production of Model Ts—first created and then served an expanding mass market. It also transformed industrial labor. By 1980, Japan had reinvented the assembly line as a system of “lean manufacturing”; American industry reluctantly adopted the new approach. Nye describes this evolution and the new global landscape of increasingly automated factories, with fewer industrial jobs in America and questionable working conditions in developing countries. A century after Ford's pioneering innovation, the assembly line continues to evolve toward more sustainable manufacturing.

Book Sex and Dreams

  • Author : Wilhelm Stekel

  • Release : 1922
  • ISBN :
  • Pages : 332 pages

Download or read book Sex and Dreams written by Wilhelm Stekel and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 1922 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every mental activity is dominated by the law of "bipolarity": to every instinct there corresponds a counter-instinct; to every virtue, a vice; to every manifestation of strength, some weakness. One can never understand the nature of man so long as one fails to take into consideration this fact. My work treats of the secrets of the human soul. It would be unfair to appraise humanity on the basis of the results of these investigations. For this work deals specifically with the evil in human nature, and only with the evil. But we must not forget that there is also another side. Perhaps I can make myself clear best through an example: A stranger comes into some town unfamiliar to him; he looks over very thoroughly and with great enthusiasm its monuments of art; he is charmed by the beautiful sights which culture has provided. He then departs believing he has become thoroughly acquainted with the town. Another traveller says to himself, - after having gone through the program suggested by the usual traveller's guide: Now I want to look into the reverse side of the life of this place! He knows that the pompous formal life has its seamy side, and he discovers once more that only he is able truly to appraise the light side of the picture who has familiarized himself also with its shadows

  • Pages : 85 pages

Download or read book Assembly written by Natasha Brown and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2021-09-14 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This blistering, fearless, and unforgettable literary novel finds a woman with everything on the line and a life-or-death decision waiting for her—perfect for fans of Claudia Rankine and Jenny Offill. Come of age in the credit crunch. Be civil in a hostile environment. Go to college, get an education, start a career. Do all the right things. Buy an apartment. Buy art. Buy a sort of happiness. But above all, keep your head down. Keep quiet. And keep going. The narrator of Assembly is a black British woman. She is preparing to attend a lavish garden party at her boyfriend’s family estate, set deep in the English countryside. At the same time, she is considering the carefully assembled pieces of herself. As the minutes tick down and the future beckons, she can’t escape the question: is it time to take it all apart? Assembly is a story about the stories we live within – those of race and class, safety and freedom, winners and losers.And it is about one woman daring to take control of her own story, even at the cost of her life. With a steely, unfaltering gaze, Natasha Brown dismantles the mythology of whiteness, lining up the debris in a neat row and walking away. "Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway meets Claudia Rankine's Citizen...as breathtakingly graceful as it is mercilessly true.”—Olivia Sudjic, author of Sympathy and Asylum Road A woman confronts the most important question of her life in this blistering, fearless, and unforgettable literary debut from "a stunning new writer." (Bernardine Evaristo) “A quiet, measured call to revolution…This is the kind of book that doesn’t just mark the moment things change, but also makes that change possible.”—Ali Smith, author of Summer "Brilliant. Brown's gaze is piercing."—Avni Doshi, author of Burnt Sugar

  • Author : Roberto Tejada
  • Publisher : Fordham University Press
  • Release : 2022-03-01
  • ISBN : 0823299279
  • Pages : 88 pages

Download or read book Why the Assembly Disbanded written by Roberto Tejada and published by Fordham University Press. This book was released on 2022-03-01 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pushing the boundaries of Latinx literature and what constitutes a borderlands poetics Throughout Roberto Tejada’s body of work, the renowned poet and celebrated critic has explored themes of Latinx culture, politics, history, language, and ecologies. In his latest collection, Why the Assembly Disbanded, he presents a unique contribution to Latinx letters that reflects on the relations between the U.S. and Latin America, especially their real and symbolic borderlands. Immersive, postmodern, and philosophical, Why the Assembly Disbanded provides an associative, critical Latinx aesthetic connecting the Mexico-U.S. borderlands to Latin America’s neo-baroque heritage. Migrants, settlers, tourists, and exiles moving across various hemispheric landscapes are featured in these exuberant, capacious, and self-reflexive poems. Tejada relates the ravages of white supremacy in our culture that, together with immigrant precarity, turn home into a place of foreboding and impending eviction, even as a dream-weather makes room at last for scenes of possibility and attainment in the account of human history. The sweeping futuristic vista gives on to narratives of colonial extraction, human displacement, abuses of capitalism, mass media spectacle, the antagonism of language and technical images in the sensorium of urban and digital life-worlds, and the relations of desire encouraged by pictures and words in the economy of attention. Los Angeles and Mexico City figure prominently in poems committed to voicing modes of formation and community in an intersectional reckoning of personhoods prompted in work by artists Betye Saar, Amiri Baraka, Connie Samaras, and Rubén Ortiz Torres. With language given to pageantry, tonal precision, and a hopeful lyric radiance that can accommodate ecstasy and justice, Roberto Tejada’s carnivalesque, borderland imagery pushes the boundaries of Latinx literature. World building by way of reverie, speculation, and retro-futurist tableaux, and with vivid, sometimes violent particularity, his poems enact hallucinatory realities of the hemisphere; an imagination that triangulates history, lyricism, and art as social practice.

Book Gender as Soft Assembly

Download or read book Gender as Soft Assembly written by Adrienne Harris and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-01-26 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gender as Soft Assembly weaves together insights from different disciplinary domains to open up new vistas of clinical understanding of what it means to inhabit, to perform, and to be, gendered. Opposing the traditional notion of development as the linear unfolding of predictable stages, Adrienne Harris argues that children become gendered in multiply configured contexts. And she proffers new developmental models to capture the fluid, constructed, and creative experiences of becoming and being gendered. According to Harris, these models, and the images to which they give rise, articulate not only with contemporary relational psychoanalysis but also with recent research into the origins of mentalization and symbolization. In urging us to think of gender as co-constructed in a variety of relational contexts, Harris enlarges her psychoanalytic sensibility with the insights of attachment theory, linguistics, queer theory, and feminist criticism. Nor is she inattentive to the impact of history and culture on gender meanings. Special consideration is given to chaos theory, which Harris positions at the cutting edge of developmental psychology and uses to generate new perspectives and new images for comprehending and working clinically with gender.
