 The Analogue Approach to Digital Recording and Mixing by Ashcroft, Fran; English | 2023 | ISBN: 0719841763 | 128 pages | True EPUB | 8.02 MB  The Amorous Imagination: Individuating the Other-as-Beloved By D. Andrew Yost 2021 | 209 Pages | ISBN: 1438484739 | PDF | 2 MB In The Amorous Imagination, D. Andrew Yost builds upon Jean-Luc Marion's phenomenology of love to argue that through the interpretive activities of the imagination the Beloved appears to the lover as this Other, not the Other. Weaving together insights from Romantic thought and contemporary French philosophy, Yost describes the distinctive role the imagination plays in individuating another person so that they appear radically unique, special, and unsubstitutable. This radical uniqueness-or haecceitas-emerges out of the lovers' engagement in an "endless hermeneutic," an ongoing process of creative and responsive meaning-making that grounds the lovers' lives in each other and opens them up to new possibilities. All of this, Yost argues, is made possible by the amorous imagination. Drawing from the deep well of love poetry, mythology, philosophy, and literature The Amorous Imagination comes to the provocative conclusion that without the productive power of the imagination love itself could not emerge.  Andrew Cayton, Richard Sisson, Chris Zacher, "The American Midwest: An Interpretive Encyclopedia" English | 2007 | ISBN: 0253348862 | 1890 pages | PDF | 49.5 MB This first-ever encyclopedia of the Midwest seeks to embrace this large and diverse area, to give it voice, and help define its distinctive character. Organized by topic, it encourages readers to reflect upon the region as a whole. Each section moves from the general to the specific, covering broad themes in longer introductory essays, filling in the details in the shorter entries that follow. There are portraits of each of the region's twelve states, followed by entries on society and culture, community and social life, economy and technology, and public life. The book offers a wealth of information about the region's surprising ethnic diversity―a vast array of foods, languages, styles, religions, and customs―plus well-informed essays on the region's history, culture and values, and conflicts. A site of ideas and innovations, reforms and revivals, and social and physical extremes, the Midwest emerges as a place of great complexity, signal importance, and continual fascination.
 Claudia Stokes, "The Altar at Home: Sentimental Literature and Nineteenth-Century American Religion" English | ISBN: 0812246373 | 2014 | 296 pages | PDF | 30 MB Displays of devout religious faith are very much in evidence in nineteenth-century sentimental novels such as Uncle Tom's Cabin and Little Women, but the precise theological nature of this piety has been little examined. In the first dedicated study of the religious contents of sentimental literature, Claudia Stokes counters the long-standing characterization of sentimental piety as blandly nondescript and demonstrates that these works were in fact groundbreaking, assertive, and highly specific in their theological recommendations and endorsements.
 Andrew Szanajda, "The Allies and the German Problem, 1941-1949: From Cooperation to Alternative Settlement" English | ISBN: 1137527714 | 2015 | 130 pages | EPUB | 232 KB The Allies and the German Problem, 1941-1949 examines Allied policymaking during the Second World War and the military occupation of postwar Germany, demonstrating how the initial unity of the Allies disintegrated during the postwar military occupation in the face of their separate goals for postwar Germany and Europe.
 The Aesthetics of Senescence: Aging, Population, and the Nineteenth-Century British Novel By Andrea Charise 2020 | 240 Pages | ISBN: 1438477457 | PDF | 4 MB Investigates how nineteenth-century British literature grappled with a new understanding of aging as both an individual and collective experience.The Aesthetics of Senescence investigates how chronological age has come to possess far-reaching ideological, ethical, and aesthetic implications, both in the past and present. Andrea Charise argues that authors of the nineteenth century used the imaginative resources of literature to engage with an unprecedented climate of crisis associated with growing old. Marshalling a great variety of canonical authors including William Godwin, Mary Shelley, George Eliot, Anthony Trollope, and George Gissing, as well as less familiar writings by George Henry Lewes, Christoph Wilhelm Hufeland, Agnes Strickland, and Max Nordau, Charise demonstrates why the imaginative capacity of writing became an interdisciplinary crucible for testing what it meant to grow old at a time of profound cultural upheaval. Charise's grounding in medicine, political history, literature, and genre offers a fresh, original, thoroughly interdisciplinary analysis of nineteenth-century aging and age theory, as well as new insights into the rise of the novel―a genre usually thought of as affiliated almost entirely with the young or middle-aged.
 The Aesthetic Clinic: Feminine Sublimation in Contemporary Writing, Psychoanalysis, and Art By Fernanda Negrete 2020 | 345 Pages | ISBN: 1438480210 | PDF | 4 MB Examines experimental art and literature by women alongside psychoanalysis and philosophy to develop a new understanding of sublimation and aesthetic experience.In The Aesthetic Clinic, Fernanda Negrete brings together contemporary women writers and artists well known for their formal experimentation―Louise Bourgeois, Sophie Calle, Lygia Clark, Marguerite Duras, Roni Horn, and Clarice Lispector―to argue that the aesthetic experiences afforded by their work are underwritten by a tenacious and uniquely feminine ethics of desire. To elaborate this ethics, Negrete looks to notions of sublimation and feminine sexuality developed by Freud, Baudelaire, Mallarmé, and Nietzsche, and their reinvention with and after Jacques Lacan, including in the schizoanalysis of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. But she also highlights how psychoanalytic theory draws on writing and other creative practices to conceive of unconscious processes and the transformation sought through analysis. Thus, the "aesthetic clinic" of the book's title (a term Negrete adopts from Deleuze) is not an applied psychoanalysis or schizoanalysis. Rather, The Aesthetic Clinic privileges the call and constraints issued by each woman's individual work. Engaging an artwork here is less about retrieving a hidden meaning through interpretation than about receiving a precise transmission of sensation, a jouissance irreducible to meaning. Not only do art and literature serve an urgent clinical function in Negrete's reading but sublimation itself requires an embrace of femininity.  The Adventure of Underground Archaeology by Gianluca Padovan English | October 26, 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0BKR64D9X | 181 pages | EPUB | 10 Mb The study and registration of artificial cavities means the documentation of underground structures. Just as Man started creating buildings on the surface of the Earth, over the course of time, he also perforated the surface thus creating new spaces and handing down structures which are essentially intact, which can be studied, restored and even utilised. In fact there exists an underground heritage, consisting of structures both built and buried underground over the passing of time. Our interpretation and understanding of such structures is a source of interesting information on our past, in favour of the present.  The Adlard Coles Book of Mediterranean Cruising by Heikell, Rod;Heikell, Lucinda; English | 2023 | ISBN: 1399404423 | 209 pages | True PDF EPUB | 258.17 MB  Michael Richardson, "The Absence of Myth: Writings on Surrealism" English | 2006 | pages: 225 | ISBN: 1844675602, 0860914194 | PDF | 5,3 mb For Bataille, the absence of myth had itself become the myth of the modern age. In a world that had lost the secret of its cohesion, Bataille saw surrealism as both a symptom and a beginning of an attempt to address this loss. His writings on this theme are the result of a profound reflection in the wake of World War Two. |
