Download or read book Joyce and the Scene of Modernity written by David Spurr and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "With an array of brilliant close readings and the discovery of new historical sources, Spurr deftly negotiates between high theory and new historicism. Refusing to contextualize Joyce in a narrow sense, he focuses on the fast-expanding field of modernism, which allows him to deploy a rigorous intertextual context that also takes Proust and Benjamin into account while remaining alert to the impact of anthropology or technology on literature in the first decade of the 20th century."--Jean-Michel Rabaté, University of Pennsylvania "So much more than a collection of essays, [this is] a valuable, interesting, and illuminating piece of scholarship . . . clearly based on sound research and a great deal of experience in handling difficult and challenging works of literature. Its scholarly discourse is sophisticated but accessible and never pretentious, and it constantly transmits the excitement of literary and critical discovery and pleasure."--Astradur Eysteinsson, University of Iceland The contextual studies collected for this book, taken together, explore the notion that, in all of Joyce's major works, his idea of "altereffects" (alterity or otherness) pervades his treatment of the modern condition. The author proposes a revitalized vision of modernism, taking Joyce as a privileged site upon which to build a broader cultural context. Of particular interest is the book's comparative perspective, which reads Joyce's work alongside that of, notably, Mallarme and Proust, seen here as inaugurating an alternative continental modernism to which Joyce belongs. This approach marks a new direction for Joyce studies and for modernist literary studies in general in that it negotiates deftly between historicism and high theory, combining the study of specific historical contexts with a theoretically informed reflection on the fundamental questions of modern human existence: the questions of being, of language, of the subject, of the very possibility of literature in the modern world. David Spurr's novel use of historical documents complements this original project, which forges new parallels and links between authors such as Joyce and Proust as well as providing a timely account of the state of Joyce scholarship today from a comparative perspective. David Spurr is professor of English at the University of Neuchatel, Switzerland.

Download or read book A Pythagorean Introduction to Number Theory written by Ramin Takloo-Bighash and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-26 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Right triangles are at the heart of this textbook’s vibrant new approach to elementary number theory. Inspired by the familiar Pythagorean theorem, the author invites the reader to ask natural arithmetic questions about right triangles, then proceeds to develop the theory needed to respond. Throughout, students are encouraged to engage with the material by posing questions, working through exercises, using technology, and learning about the broader context in which ideas developed. Progressing from the fundamentals of number theory through to Gauss sums and quadratic reciprocity, the first part of this text presents an innovative first course in elementary number theory. The advanced topics that follow, such as counting lattice points and the four squares theorem, offer a variety of options for extension, or a higher-level course; the breadth and modularity of the later material is ideal for creating a senior capstone course. Numerous exercises are included throughout, many of which are designed for SageMath. By involving students in the active process of inquiry and investigation, this textbook imbues the foundations of number theory with insights into the lively mathematical process that continues to advance the field today. Experience writing proofs is the only formal prerequisite for the book, while a background in basic real analysis will enrich the reader’s appreciation of the final chapters.

Download or read book A Skeleton Key to Finnegans Wake written by Joseph Campbell and published by New World Library. This book was released on 2005 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its publication in 1939, countless would-be readers of "Finnegans Wake" - James Joyce's masterwork, which consumed a third of his life - have given up after a few pages, dismissing it as a "perverse triumph of the unintelligible." In 1944, a young professor of mythology and literature named Joseph Campbell, working with Henry Morton Robinson, wrote the first "key" or guide to entering the fascinating, disturbing, marvelously rich world of "Finnegans Wake." The authors break down Joyce's "unintelligible" book page by page, stripping the text of much of its obscurity and serving up thoughtful interpretations via footnotes and bracketed commentary. They outline the book's basic action, and then simplify -- and clarify -- its complex web of images and allusions. "A Skeleton Key to Finnegans Wake" is the latest addition to the "Collected Works of Joseph Campbell" series.
Download or read book Radiology of the small intestine written by Pierre Bret and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-11 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a tradition behind the current radiologic examination of the small bowel. Many of the great names in gastrointestinal radiology have established their reputations on the basis of their work in the small bowel. This is an area which is assuming ever greater importance for radiologists as its mucosal surface continues to elude the endos copist. Moreover, it is an aspect of radiology which calls for the greatest technical and interpretative skill. It is a great pleasure to welcome the English language version of this beautiful work on Radiology of the Small Intestine. English speaking physicians are frequently not as familiar with the large body of work published in French as they should be. Tant pis ! Dr. Bret and his co-workers have been pioneers in the pursuit of excellence in gastrointestinal radiology. During all the years that I have been involved in this field, I have admired their work.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains a selection of papers presented at the Computer Graphics and Education '91 Conference, held from 4th to 6th Apri11991, in Begur, Spain. The conference was organised under the auspices of the International Federation for Information Processing (IPIP) Working Group 5.10 on Computer Graphics. The goal of the organisers was to take a forward look at the impact on education of anticipated developments in graphics and related technologies, such as multimedia, in the next five years. We felt that at a time when many educational establishments are facing financial stringency and when major changes are taking place in patterns of education and training, this could be valuable for both educators and companies developing the technology: for educators, because they are often too bogged down in day-to-day problems to undertake adequate forward planning, and for companies, to see some of the problems faced by educators and to see what their future requirements might be.
