Download or read book History of Linguistics Volume IV written by Anna Morpurgo Davies and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The History of Linguistics, to be published in five volumes, aims to provide the reader with an authoritative and comprehensive account of the attitudes to language prevailing in different civilizations and in different periods by examining the very varied development of linguistic thought in the specific social, cultural and religious contexts involved. Issues discussed include the place of language in education, variation and prestige, and approaches to lexical and grammatical description. The authors of the individual chapters are specialists who have analysed the primary sources and produced original syntheses by exploring the linguistic interests and assumptions of particular cultures in their own terms, without seeking to reinterpret them as contributions towards the development of contemporary western conceptions of linguistic science. In Volume IV: Nineteenth Century Linguistics, Anna Morpurgo Davies shows how linguistics came into its own as an independent discipline separated from philosophical and literary studies and enjoyed a unique intellectual and institutional success tied to the research ethos of the new universities, until it became a model for other humanistic subjects which aimed at 'scientific status'. The linguistics of the nineteenth century abandons earlier theoretical discussions in favour of a more empirical and historical approach using new methods to compare languages and to investigate their history. The great achievement of this period is the demonstration that languages such as Sanskrit , Latin and English are related and derive from a parent language which is not attested but can be reconstructed. This book discusses in detail the theories developed and the individual findings obtained. In contrast with earlier historiographical trends it denies that the new approach originated entirely from German Romanticism, and highlights a form of continuity with the eighteenth century, while stressing that a deliberate break took place round the 1830s. By the end of the century the results of comparative and historical linguistics had been generally accepted, but it soon became clear that a historical approach could not by itself solve all questions that it raised. At this point the new interest in description and theory which characterizes the twentieth century began to gain prominence.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " En habillant l'époque " Rares ont été les créateurs de mode qui se sont autant impliqués dans l'innovation et l'exploration de l'étendue des possibilités offertes par les arts appliqués. Curieux, inventif, audacieux, Paul Poiret " le Magnifique " régnait sur l'univers parisien de la mode. Au coeur des activités mondaines et artistiques tourbillonnantes de la capitale, il s'est enthousiasmé pour le théâtre, les Ballets russes, la musique et la peinture. Un vent de liberté, de modernité et de gaieté soufflait sur sa maison de couture. II fut le premier couturier à lancer sa maison de parfumerie Les Parfums de Rosine (igri) et n'a cessé de penser et d'intégrer la mode dans l'espace et l'art de vivre. Réputé pour ses fêtes somptueuses, complice des années folles, décor, audace, tout était possible. Homme de communication avant l'heure, Paul Poiret a construit sa mode avec le concours d'artistes peintres et d'illustrateurs reconnus. La publicité faite autour de ses parfums poussait au rêve. Adulé, riche et célèbre, le " King " de cette foisonnante période Art déco a pourtant quitté le monde en 1944, seul et ruiné.
Download or read book Paul Pfeiffer written by Paul Pfeiffer and published by Action Arts Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul Pfeiffer is among the most recognized and influential American artists today. This is a select overview of his work over the last decade, including his most recently produced projects, as well as his fundamental works on new technologies through video, installation, sculpture and photography. In his most widely recognized work, the artist digitally alters old film footage and TV sports events to erase the main characters of the scenes, dissecting the role of mass media and the cult of celebrity. The book also examines his creative process with original essays by Lawrence Chua (critic, Cornell University, New York), Jessica Hagedorn (writer, Philippines), Niklas Maak (critic, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung) and Katy Siegel (critic, Artforum), and other writings selected by the artist, including works by Don Delillo, Ellias Canetti, Gary Indiana and Roger Caillois. Born in 1966 in Honolulu, Hawaii, Paul Pfeiffer spent most of his childhood in the Philippines, until he settled in New York in 1990. Pfeiffer was selected for the 49th Venice Biennial and most recently for the Sydney Biennial 2008.
