Download or read book Zen and the Art of Postmodern Philosophy written by Carl Olson and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2000-08-24 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines and compares the philosophical positions of various postmodern thinkers and Zen Buddhist philosophers on: language and play; modes of thinking; skepticism and doubt; self and other; time and death; nihilism and metaphysics; and the conception of the end of philosophy. The Zen thinkers dealt with are Dogen and Nishitani, and the Western thinkers are Derrida, Lacan, Heidegger, Lyotard, Foucault, Deleuze and Guatarri, Kristeva, and Levinas. Although each share similar notions concerning the shortcomings of representational thinking, major differences still exist. By clarifying these differences, Olson counters the tendency to overtly assert or covertly imply that postmodern and Zen philosophies are moving in the same direction. Some postmodern thinkers and Zen Buddhist philosophers share common philosophical ground with regard to a mutual philosophical attack and attempt to overcome the perceived shortcomings of the representational mode of thinking that conceives of the mind like a mirror and assumes a correspondence between appearance and reality that is supported by a metaphysical structure.

Download or read book Medieval Rhetoric written by Scott D. Troyan and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A formidable challenge to the study of Roma (Gypsy) music is the muddle of fact and fiction in determining identity. This book investigates "Gypsy music" as a marked and marketable exotic substance, and as a site of active cultural negotiation and appropriation between the real Roma and the idealized Gypsies of the Western imagination. David Malvinni studies specific composers-including Liszt, Brahms, Rachmaninov, Janacek, and Bartók-whose work takes up contested and varied configurations of Gypsy music. The music of these composers is considered alongside contemporary debates over popular music and film, as Malvinni argues that Gypsiness remains impervious to empirical revelations about the "real" Roma.

Download or read book FIGHT SONG written by Peter Woan and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2024-02-22 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every nation’s past is prologue to its present, and every nation’s story unfolds in its own way. In this book, a native Englishman and long-time resident of the United States, proposes four defining narratives that have helped fashion the nation’s progression toward “becoming America.” • westward expansion, and a fascination for the moving frontier; • hunger for land, reflected in national expansion through nineteenth-century geopolitical acquisitions, and the desire of individual Americans to grab their own piece of territory, leading to the iconic Homestead Act of 1862; • the land-grant college movement, culminating in Justin Morrill’s 1862 landmark legislation, representing a shift away from higher education dominated by religious imperatives to a more secular model, with significant state sponsorship; • the GI Bill of Rights, enacted in 1944 for servicemen and women returning from WW II, and which provided (among other benefits) a free college education for millions of veterans. These four themes are brought together through the uniquely American phenomenon of college football.

Download or read book A Responsive Rhetorical Art written by Elenore Long and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2018-10-24 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Responsive Rhetorical Art explores the risk-ridden realm of wise if always also fallible rhetorical action—the productive knowledge building required to compose and to leverage texts, broadly construed, for the purposes of public life marked by shrinking public resources, cultural conflict, and deferred hope. Here, composition and literacy learning hold an important and distinctive cultural promise: the capacity to invent with other people new ways forward in light of their own interests and values and in the face of obstacles that could not have otherwise been predicted. Distributed across publicly situated strangers, including citizen-educators, this work engages a persistent challenge of early rhetorical uptake in public life: that what might become public and shared is often tacit and contested. The book’s approach combines attention to local cases (with a transnational student organization, the Nipmuck Chaubunagungamaug, and the South Sudanese diaspora in Phoenix) with a revisable guide for taking up wise action and methods for uncovering elusive institutional logics.

Download or read book Diachronic Dialogues written by Ahuvia Kahane and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2005 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Diachronic Dialogues: Authority and Continuity in Homer and the Homeric Tradition Ahuvia Kahane considers central aspects of Homer's poetry: truth, knowledge, gender, virtue and the heroic code, authorship, memory and song, diction, and formula. Kahane makes the case for performative, rather than essential, values in the Iliad and the Odyssey. Performativity allows Homeric epic form to enact diverse claims and agendas in specific historical, cultural, and political contexts. Also, the performative character of Homer's values imply radical resistance to fixity of reference, forms of meaning, patterning, and so forth. No individual performers or group of historical interpreters can thus claim exclusive authority over the song and its contents-that is, over its truth, knowledge, social codes, diction, authorship, etc. The interaction of diversity and radical resistance marks the traditional and canonical icon we refer to as Homeric epic form. It is a shared record of many pasts open to all but exclusive to none. Performativity may be a general quality of all poetic discourse, or indeed of language itself. Nevertheless, this study suggests that in historical terms, Homeric poetry has been, and perhaps still is, one of the most prominent sites for exercising tradition and claims of cultural continuity. Diachronic Dialogues is an essential addition to scholarship in literary criticism and the classics. Book jacket.
