Download or read book Humanism Machinery and Renaissance Literature written by Jessica Wolfe and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-05-03 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how machinery and the practice of mechanics participate in the intellectual culture of Renaissance humanism. Before the emergence of the modern concept of technology, sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century writers recognized the applicability of mechanical practices and objects to some of their most urgent moral, aesthetic, and political questions. The construction, use, and representation of devices including clocks, scientific instruments, stage machinery, and war engines not only reflect but also actively reshape how Renaissance writers define and justify artifice and instrumentality - the reliance upon instruments, mechanical or otherwise, to achieve a particular end. Harnessing the discipline of mechanics to their literary and philosophical concerns, scholars and poets including Francis Bacon, Edmund Spenser, George Chapman, and Gabriel Harvey look to machinery to ponder and dispute all manner of instrumental means, from rhetoric and pedagogy to diplomacy and courtly dissimulation.

Download or read book Sounding Otherness in Early Modern Drama and Travel written by Jennifer Linhart Wood and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-04-23 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sounds are a vital dimension of transcultural encounters in the early modern period. Using the concept of the soundwave as a vibratory, uncanny, and transformative force, Jennifer Linhart Wood examines how sounds of foreign otherness are experienced and interpreted in cross-cultural interactions around the globe. Many of these same sounds are staged in the sonic laboratory of the English theater: rattles were shaken at Whitehall Palace and in Brazil; bells jingled in an English masque and in the New World; the Dallam organ resounded at Topkapı Palace in Istanbul and at King’s College, Cambridge; and the drum thundered across India and throughout London theaters. This book offers a new way to conceptualize intercultural contact by arguing that sounds of otherness enmesh bodies and objects in assemblages formed by sonic events, calibrating foreign otherness with the familiar self on the same frequency of vibration.

Download or read book The Legacy of the Sultanate of Oman An absolute Monarchy facilitating Dictatorship and Disregard for Human Rights written by Dr. Mark O'Doherty and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-06-11 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With Qaboos bin Said al Said becoming the self-appointed leader of Oman in 1970 (after overthrowing his father in a palace coup) Oman's human rights situation is among the worst in the world. Human rights violations in Oman seem to include abductions and arbitrary arrests; as well as severe restrictions on freedom of press with many journalists and activists being arrested under penal code provisions which criminalize insulting the Sultan; hence the current status quo of severe restrictions of public freedoms in the country. Critical, but also deeply sensitive and humane, this book endeavours to improve public policy in Oman. Social challenges - such as gender inequality and press freedom violations - are also explored in this work. Highly innovative and profound, this book explores social scientific-, ethical and Islamic approaches, so that human rights, social equality and public freedoms can be improved in Oman.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of the House of Osman, the imperial dynasty that ruled the Ottoman Empire for more than seven centuries, an empire that once stretched from central Europe to North Africa and from Persia to the Adriatic. The capital of this empire was Istanbul, ancient Byzantium, a city that stands astride Europe and Asia on the Bosphorus. And it was in the great palace of Topkapi Sarayi that the sultans of this empire ruled. Inside the Seraglio - a classic of Ottoman history - takes us behind the gilded doors of the Topkapi and into the heart of the palace: the harem, where the sultan would surround himself with his wives, concubines, eunuchs, pages, dwarfs and mutes and where all the tempestuous events of empire were so often played out. This is the history of a remarkable palace in all its colour and opulence and the story of its influence on a great empire.

In the second section, the author examines the various forms of diversity, including race, gender, age, disability, appearance, sexual orientation and gender identity, religion, and social class. The final part supports the reader in thinking through strategies for reducing bias, creating diverse and inclusive workplaces, and ways organizations can impact the DEI in their communities. Pedagogical features include the following: ■ DEI at Work cases to open each chapter ■ DEI in Practice to connect theory to real-life examples ■ Different Point of View boxes to present alternative perspectives ■ Expert Perspectives to hear from professionals in the field ■ Further reading and web resources to take extended learning opportunities ■ Review questions to test knowledge
