Download or read book Lotman and Cultural Studies written by Andreas Schonle and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2007-01-01 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most widely read and translated theorists of the former Soviet Union, Yurii Lotman was a daring and imaginative thinker. A cofounder of the Tartu-Moscow school of semiotics, he analyzed a broad range of cultural phenomena, from the opposition between Russia and the West to the symbolic construction of space, from cinema to card playing, from the impact of theater on painting to the impact of landscape design on poetry. His insights have been particularly important in conceptualizing the creation of meaning and understanding the function of art and literature in society, and they have enriched the work of such diverse figures as Paul Ricoeur, Stephen Greenblatt, Umberto Eco, Wolfgang Iser, Julia Kristeva, and Frederic Jameson. In this volume, edited by Andreas Schönle, contributors extend Lotman's theories to a number of fields. Focusing on his less frequently studied later period, Lotman and Cultural Studies engages with such ideas as the "semiosphere," the fluid, dynamic semiotic environment out of which meaning emerges; "auto-communication," the way in which people create narratives about themselves that in turn shape their self-identity; change, as both gradual evolution and an abrupt, unpredictable "explosion"; power; law and mercy; Russia and the West; center and periphery. As William Mills Todd observes in his afterword, the contributors to this volume test Lotman's legacy in a new context: "Their research agendas-Iranian and American politics, contemporary Russian and Czech politics, sexuality and the body-are distant from Lotman's own, but his concepts and awareness yield invariably illuminating results."

Download or read book Universe of the Mind written by Юрий Михайлович Лотман and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Universe of the Mind A Semiotic Theory of Culture Yuri M. Lotman Introduction by Umberto Eco Translated by Ann Shukman A major book by one of the initiators of cultural studies. "Universe of the Mind is an ambitious, complex, and wide-ranging book that semioticians, textual critics, and those interested in cultural studies will find stimulating and immensely suggestive." --Journal of Communication "Soviet semiotics offers a distinctive, richly productive approach to literary and cultural studies and Universe of the Mind represents a summation of the intellectual career of the man who has done most to guarantee this." --Slavic and East European Journal Universe of the Mind addresses three main areas: meaning and text, culture, and history. The result is a full-scale attempt to demonstrate the workings of the semiotic space or intellectual world. Part One is concerned with the ways that texts generate meaning. Part Two addresses Lotman's central idea of the semiosphere--the domain in which all semiotic systems can function--presented through an analogy with the global biosphere. Part Three focuses on semiotics from the point of view of history. A seminal text in cultural semiotics, the book's ambitious scope also makes it applicable to disciplines outside semiotics. The book will be of great interest to those concerned with cultural studies, anthropology, Slavic studies, critical theory, philosophy, and historiography. Yuri Mikhailovich Lotman is the founder of the Moscow-Tartu School and the initiator of the discipline of cultural semiotics.

This book was released on 2017-03-01 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Il progetto INVALSI PER TUTTI: scopri di più I volumi della serie INVALSI per tutti presentano training specifici per allenare gli alunni in vista di queste prove. Ideati e sviluppati da insegnanti, non sono una semplice raccolta di test già svolti, ma proposte operative studiate per rispondere alle esigenze di una classe eterogenea, che permettono di preparare tutti gli alunni in modo inclusivo, favorendo i diversi stili di apprendimento. I maggiori punti di forza e di innovazione risiedono nel proporre: • materiali operativi differenziati per livelli di difficoltà, per cui ogni scheda è presentata sia in forma standard sia in altre due versioni adattate per bambini con difficoltà di apprendimento, BES e disabilità certificata; • strumenti e strategie per facilitare sia l’autonomia degli alunni sia la gestione della classe da parte dell’insegnante; • esempi di adattamento graduale delle prove per gli alunni con BES, che forniscono un modello per realizzare ulteriori personalizzazioni; • un percorso di supporto emotivo e metacognitivo particolarmente utile per gli alunni con difficoltà di apprendimento. Il presente volume contiene 72 schede fotocopiabili organizzate in quattro aree corrispondenti alle sezioni delle prove INVALSI di matematica della classe quinta: - numeri; - spazio e figure; - dati e previsioni; - relazioni e funzioni. Per alcuni degli esercizi sono disponibili online i file audio in mp3.
Download or read book Studies in Reflecting Abstraction written by Jean Piaget and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-04-04 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This translation of the French Recherches sur l'abstraction reflechissante (1977), make available in English Piaget's only treatise on reflecting abstraction - a process he came to attribute considerable importance to in his later thinking and which he believed to be responsible for many of the advances that take place in human development, especially our understanding of mathematics. Rich with empirical research on reflecting abstraction at work in the thinking of 4 to 12 year olds, the studies in this volume examine its role in many contexts of cognitive development such as: reasoning about mathematics; forming analogies; putting objects in order by size and comparing the resulting series; and navigating through a wire maze. His theoretical discussions explore the relationships between reflecting abstraction and other central processes in his later theory, such as generalization, becoming conscious, and equilibration, as the differentiation of possibilities and their integration into necessities. These discussions indicate which aspects of his later theorizing were settled and which require further thought and investigation. Studies in Reflecting Abstraction will be of interest to developmental and cognitive psychologists, educationalists, philosophers and anyone who seeks to understand human knowledge and its development.
