 Free Download Get Signed: Find an Agent, Land a Book Deal, and Become a Published Author by Lucinda Halpern English | February 6th, 2024 | ISBN: 1401975143 | 208 pages | True EPUB | 2.48 MB "All aspiring authors know the value of a great literary agent, but few know how to get one. Lucinda Halpern has written the definitive guide to attracting an agent and laying the groundwork for a book well worth publishing."- Adam Grant, #1 New York Times best-selling author of Think Again and Hidden Potential, and host of the TED podcast Re:Thinking  Free Download Getting Signed: Record Contracts, Musicians, and Power in Society by David Arditi English | September 28, 2020 | ISBN: 3030445860 | 265 pages | MOBI | 1.01 Mb Record contracts have been the goal of aspiring musicians, but are they still important in the era of SoundCloud? Musicians in the United States still seem to think so, flocking to auditions for The Voice and Idol brands or paying to perform at record label showcases in the hopes of landing a deal. The belief that signing a record contract will almost infallibly lead to some measure of success― the "ideology of getting signed," as Arditi defines it―is alive and well.  Free Download Terry Janzen, "Signed Language and Gesture Research in Cognitive Linguistics " English | ISBN: 311070367X | 2023 | 430 pages | EPUB, PDF | 8 MB + 168 MB This volume represents the first time that researchers on signed language and gesture have come together with a coherent focus under the framework of cognitive linguistics. The pioneering work of Sherman Wilcox is highlighted throughout, scaffolding much of the research of these contributors. The five sections of the volume reflect critical areas of Dr. Wilcoxs own research in cognitive linguistics: Guiding research principles in signed language, gesture, and cognitive linguistics, iconicity across signed and spoken linguistics, multimodality, blending, depiction and metaphor in signed languages, and specific grammatical constructions as form-meaning pairings. The authors of this volume exemplify and continue Dr. Wilcoxs work of bridging signed and spoken language disciplines by contributing chapters that represent a multiplicity of perspectives on signed, spoken, and gesture data. This volume presents a unified collection of cognitive linguistics research by leading authors that will be of interest to readers in the fields of signed and spoken language linguistics, gesture studies, and general linguistics.
 Free Download B. Baert, "Signed Pan: Erwin Panofsky's 1892-1968 the History of Art As a Humanistic Discipline Princeton, 1938 " English | ISBN: 904294305X | 2020 | 90 pages | PDF | 2 MB In 1935 Erwin Panofsky (1892-1968) was appointed the first 'permanent member' of the School of Humanistic Studies (now the School of Historical Studies) at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. The famous institute was founded by the American educator Abraham Flexner (1866-1959). This essay contributes to the content and context of Panofsky's important lecture "The History of Art as a Humanistic Discipline" from1938. The publication of that lecture functioned as a manifesto written by an intellectual emigre in a new American context. It is thanks to Panofsky that the locus classicus of iconography, as Irving Lavin (1927-2019) described the Institute for Advanced Study, received the compelling arguments for an "art history that deserves to be counted among the humanities." A close reading of the text and an analysis of its impact can still teach us something about the origins and development of the Art Historical field and Iconological Studies today.
