 Nigel Saint, "Modern French Visual Theory: A critical reader" English | ISBN: 0719081300 | 2013 | 288 pages | PDF | 44 MB When French theory went global in the late twentieth century its visual wing was understandably built on the work of its best-known thinkers, notably Foucault, Derrida, Barthes and Deleuze. However these names merely scratch the surface of a vibrant and innovative body of theory that has been produced in France over the last six decades. As well as a substantial interview with Sorbonne professor Bernard Vouilloux, this volume focuses on a range of theorists who usually sit under the academic radar, especially when outside of France: Arasse, Buci-Glucksmann, Damisch, Debray, Didi-Huberman, Heinich, Marin, Schefer and Stiegler. Also discussed is the important work on the visual by Baudrillard, Merleau-Ponty, Metz and Nancy. All of these thinkers are given introductory and exploratory treatment here, and are allowed to talk between themselves. By looking at a wider set of theories and theorists relating to the visual, the debates are able to cross-fertilize, with the chapters divided into five major areas: phenomenology and beyond; new art histories and genealogies; semiotics and methodologies; memory and the body; and the digital era. This volume brings together international scholars working within Visual Culture and Art History, to look in detail at a range of issues in French contemporary visual theory. The chapters cover the main media of visual culture: fine art, cinema, museology, photography, as well as the key philosophical coordinates of modern times - phenomenology, structuralism and semiology, post-structuralism, psychoanalysis, sociology, aesthetics and Marxism. Throughout, the volume offers in-depth accounts of keywords, broad critical and historical contexts, and close attention to the language of visual theory.  Emily R. Wilson, "Mocked with Death: Tragic Overliving from Sophocles to Milton" English | ISBN: 0801879647 | 2005 | 304 pages | PDF | 34 MB In Paradise Lost, Adam asks, "Why do I overlive?" Adam's anguished question is the basis for a critical analysis of living too long as a neglected but central theme in Western tragic literature. Emily Wilson examines this experience in works by Milton and by four of his literary predecessors: Sophocles, Euripides, Seneca, and Shakespeare. Each of these writers composed works in which the central character undergoes unbearable suffering or loss, hopes for death, but goes on living.

Making Sense of Japanese: What the Textbooks Don't Tell You by Jay Rubin English | January 26th, 2021 | ISBN: 156836492X | 144 pages | True EPUB | 3.66 MB Making Sense of Japanese is the fruit of one foolhardy American's thirty-year struggle to learn and teach the Language of the Infinite.

Local Cohomology: An Algebraic Introduction with Geometric Applications By M. P. Brodmann, R. Y. Sharp 1998 | 429 Pages | ISBN: 0521372860 | PDF | 13 MB Even though the book seems to suggest that it's aimed at a reader without considerable knowledge of algebraic geometry, reality paints a different picture. If one follows just the algebra, one misses the richness and beauty of the geometry that this algebra was called forward to describe. This is the only flaw, but I feel it's a serious one, so it's better to be forewarned. However, if the knowledge of algebraic geometry IS there, the book both enriches and informs. |
