Book excerpt: Desde los egipcios, la simbología ha sido la gran ciencia de la antigüedad. En Oriente ha perdurado sin interrupción hasta ya entrado el siglo XX y en Occidente inspiró todo el arte medieval y, en gran medida, el renacentista y barroco, hasta que el descubrimiento del «Inconsciente» volvió a recuperar los símbolos en ámbitos y maneras muy distintos. Este Diccionario de símbolos es la versión última y definitiva de la obra en prosa más importante del poeta y crítico de arte Juan Eduardo Cirlot. Publicado por primera vez en 1958 con el título Diccionario de símbolos tradicionales, fue traducido al inglés en 1962. Cirlot continuó elaborando nuevas voces y artículos que introdujo en la segunda edición castellana de 1969 y en la segunda edición inglesa y americana de 1971. En esta edición se han incluido nuevas voces, hasta el momento sólo publicadas en inglés, así como el artículo «Simbolismo fonético», último ámbito del estudio simbológico de Cirlot, recuperado de su publicación en prensa. En el epílogo, Victoria Cirlot sitúa en la vida de su padre la construcción de esta obra siempre en expansión y la relaciona con la poesía y la crítica de arte. También muestra el interés de Cirlot por la simbología a partir de los años cincuenta, cuando conoce en Barcelona al musicólogo y antropólogo Marius Schneider, aportando documentos inéditos, como por ejemplo la carta a André Breton en la que se relata el sueño aludido en la voz «Cicatrices».

Download or read book Totalitarianisms The Closed Society and Its Friends A History of Crossed Languages written by Juan Francisco Fuentes and published by Ed. Universidad de Cantabria. This book was released on 2019-04-29 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is striking that the main political concept coined by the century of democracy has been totalitarianism. Since its birth in fascist Italy in the 1920s, the term has made a long journey throughout different countries and periods. After representing the fascination for dictatorships during the interwar years, totalitarianism became a key concept of the ‘war of words’ waged between democracy and communism until the fall of the Berlin Wall. It was ‘a hot word for a Cold War’, as termed by the author of this book to convey the importance of this contest of crossed languages, which also included images, symbols and other forms of ‘senso-propaganda’. The Closed Society and Its Friendshighlights the role played by language in the building of a dystopian civilization conceived as an alternative to the open society created by liberalism. The book analyses the dimension of totalitarianisms, from fascism and Nazism to communism, as political religions with some common features, such as the cult of personality and the conception of society as a community of believers. This fascinating essay on the dark side of the 20th century ends with a disturbing epilogue: ‘Is totalitarianism back?’

Download or read book Insanity and Genius written by Harry Eiss and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-06-02 with total page 770 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his book about the discovery of the structure of DNA, James Watson wrote, “So we had lunch, telling ourselves that a structure this beautiful just had to exist.” Indeed, the quest most often asked by scientists about a scientific theory is “Is it beautiful?” Yes, beauty equals truth. Scientists know, mathematicians know. But the beauties, the truths of mathematics and science were not the truths that inspired the author as a child, and he intuitively knew that the truths he needed come from a different way of knowing, a way of knowing not of the world of logic and reason and explanation (though they have a value), but rather a way of knowing that is of the world expression, a world that enters the truths beyond the grasp of logic. That is what this book is all about. It is an exploration of the greatest minds of human existence struggling to understand the deepest truths of the human condition. This second edition updates the previous one, incorporating new publications on Van Gogh, recent discoveries in neurology, psychology, and the rapid developments in understanding DNA and biotechnology. We’ve come a long way already from that original discovery by Watson and his coauthor Francis Crick.

Download or read book Symbol Sourcebook written by Henry Dreyfuss and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 1991-01-16 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A ready reference aid and an inspiration to designers . All in all the best book now available on symbols." --Library Journal This unparalleled reference represents a major achievement in the field of graphic design. Famed industrial designer Henry Dreyfuss recognized the importance of symbols in communicating more quickly and effectively; for many years he and his staff collected and codified graphic symbols as they are used in all walks of life throughout the world. The result is this "dictionary" of universally used graphic symbols. Henry Dreyfuss designed this sourcebook to be as practical and easy to use as possible by arranging the symbol information within ingeniously devised sections: Basic Symbols represents a concise and highly selective grouping of symbols common to all disciplines (on-off, up-down, etc.). Disciplines provides symbols used in accommodations and travel, agriculture, architecture, business, communications, engineering, photography, sports, safety, traffic controls, and many other areas. Color lists the meanings of each of the colors in various worldwide applications and cultures. Graphic Form displays symbols from all disciplines grouped according to form (squares, circles, arrows, human figures, etc.) creating a unique way to identify a symbol out of context, as well as giving designers a frame of reference for developing new symbols. To make the sourcebook truly universal, the Table of Contents contains translations of each of the section titles and discipline areas into 17 languages in addition to English.
