Total Definer by Alfredo Hoyos; English | 2022 | ISBN: 1684202558 | 520 pages | True PDF | 392.06 MB Thinking Utopia: Steps into Other Worlds By Jörn Rüsen (editor), Michael Fehr (editor), Thomas W. Rieger (editor) 2005 | 324 Pages | ISBN: 157181440X | PDF | 4 MB After the breakdown of socialist and communist systems in the East, it had become fashionable to declare the so-called "end of utopia" ("end of history," "end of narratives"). The authors of this volume do not share this view but think that it is time to rehabilitate utopian thought. The political concept of Utopia that has given its name to these transcendental projections onto the world has been too narrow to describe and analyze the moving forces of the mind perceiving human existence beyond reality. By broadening the perspectives of utopian studies, these essays enable the reader to reconstruct scholarly paradigms and strategies of utopian, complex and holistic thinking in modern cosmology, philosophy, sociology, in literary, historical and political sciences, and to compare traditions and ways of Western utopian thought to the practice in the East.

The Virtual Liturgy and Ritual Artifacts in Medieval and Early Modern Studies English | 2023 | ISBN: 1032274565 | 161 Pages | PDF (True) | 64 MB Using an interdisciplinary approach, this book uses traditional art-historical methodologies and media technology theory to reexamine ritual objects. Previous analysis has not considered the in-between nature of these objects as deliberate and virtual conduits to the divine. The liturgy, the altarpiece, the altar environment, relics, and their reliquaries are media. In a series of case studies, several objects tell a different story about culture and society in medieval Europe. In essence, they reveal that media and media technologies generate and modulate the individual and collective structure of feelings of sacredness among assemblages of humans and nonhumans.
