Free Download Daniel Stein, "From Comic Strips to Graphic Novels: Contributions to the Theory and History of Graphic Narrative Ed 2" English | ISBN: 3110426560 | 2015 | 422 pages | EPUB | 4 MB This essay collection examines the theory and history of graphic narrative as one of the most interesting and versatile forms of storytelling in contemporary media culture. Its contributions test the applicability of narratological concepts to graphic narrative, examine aspects of graphic narrative beyond the 'single work', consider the development of particular narrative strategies within individual genres, and trace the forms and functions of graphic narrative across cultures. Analyzing a wide range of texts, genres, and narrative strategies from both theoretical and historical perspectives, the international group of scholars gathered here offers state-of-the-art research on graphic narrative in the context of an increasingly postclassical and transmedial narratology.  Free Download From Class to Race: Essays in White Marxism and Black Radicalism (New Critical Theory) by Charles W. Mills English | November 19, 2003 | ISBN: 0742513017, 0742513025 | True EPUB | 312 pages | 0.8 MB In From Class to Race, Charles Mills maps the theoretical route that brought him to the innovative conceptual framework outlined in his academic bestseller The Racial Contract (1997). Mills argues for a new critical theory that develops the insights of the black radical political tradition. While challenging conventional interpretations of key Marxist concepts and claims, the author contends that Marxism has been "white" insofar as it has failed to recognize the centrality of race and white supremacy to the making of the modern world. By appealing to both mainstream liberal values and the structuralism traditionally associated with the left, Mills asserts that critical race theory can radicalize the mainstream Enlightenment and develop a new kind of contractarianism that deals frontally with race and other forms of social oppression rather than evading them.

The foundation of the city responded to important changes in the social, political, and cultural character of the Roman empire of the first three centuries. In its role as the capital of the Byzantine Empire, it provided a setting for a new religion and the framework for more than a thousand years of continued Roman history in the east. From Byzantium to Constantinople explores, in great detail, the Graeco-Roman context of the city and its early history in the first century of its identity as the new Rome.

Stanković , Jaakko Astola English | PDF (True) | 2011 | 212 Pages | ISBN : 3642116817 | 105.6 MB Logic networks and automata are facets of digital systems. The change of the design of logic networks from skills and art into a scientific discipline was possible by the development of the underlying mathematical theory called the Switching Theory. The fundamentals of this theory come from the attempts towards an algebraic description of laws of thoughts presented in the works by George J. Boole and the works on logic by Augustus De Morgan.

Free Download Friedrich Schiller und die Demokratie By Tresselt, Matthias 2009 | 211 Pages | ISBN: 3428131258 | PDF | 1 MB Wie hat sich Schiller zur Demokratie verhalten? Obgleich politische und staatsrechtliche Debatten das Aufklärungszeitalter prägten und die Französische Revolution eine bedeutende Rolle im zeitgenössischen Denken spielte, ist Schillers Rechtsdenken, sind die Demokratiebezüge in seinem Werk bislang wenig, fast gar nicht beachtet worden. Hier setzt Matthias Tresselt mit seinem Buch an.Der Gang der Darstellung orientiert sich an einem entpolitisierten Ideenbegriff der Demokratie, der sich von den parteipolitischen Vereinnahmungen des ausgehenden 18. Jahrhunderts löst. Dieser Demokratiebegriff enthält den Freiheitsschutz der Bürger, die Teilhabe des Staatsbürgers an der Herrschaft (politische Gleichheit) sowie die internationalen Bezüge der Demokratie. In acht Abschnitten wirft der Autor jeweils ein zeitgenössisches Problem der Staatsrechtslehre auf und stellt dessen Verarbeitung in Schillers Werk dar. Diese acht Abschnitte sind drei Großkapiteln zugeordnet, in denen das Demokratieverständnis Schillers entfaltet wird.Mit Blick auf das dramatische und historiographische Werk zeigt der Verfasser Schillers stete Fixierung auf den Menschen und seine Vorstellung, das Wohl der Gesamtheit hänge vom Schicksal des Einzelnen ab. Schiller legitimiere den Staat vom Individuum her - ein erster wichtiger Schritt in Richtung Demokratie. Tresselt resümiert, Schiller sei - anders als bisher angenommen - ein demokratischer Denker gewesen, der mit der Demokratie und ihrer Struktur vertraut war, ihr offen gegenüber stand und sie unter bestimmten, insbesondere ethischen Voraussetzungen für möglich und erstrebenswert hielt.The subject of this study is democratic political thought in the dramatic and historiographic opus of Friedrich Schiller (1759-1805). The study situates the references to democracy in Schiller's work against the historical backgrounds of German territorial absolutism and the French Revolution, and evaluates them on the basis of a modern concept of democracy. The study is divided into three main chapters. In chapter one, the author shows that Schiller understood, illustrated and called for the substance of democracy, i.e. security, self-determination and citizens' rights of individual liberty. Similarly to Humboldt, the author argues, Schiller considered citizens' self-determination to be the origin of individual and cultural progress. The author discusses in detail the significance of individual liberty rights and human rights in Schiller's work, examining in particular the principles of communication and justice in $aDon Karlos$z and $aMaria Stuart$z. In addition, the author points out parallels to Kant's concept of human dignity. In chapter two, the author asks whether Schiller was familiar with the structure of democracy, i.e. with the political equality of citizens. The author advances the opinion that democratic structures are latent in Schiller's work, but are not realised in the modern sense. Schiller, it is argued, considered political equality possible and wished it to materialise as a form of governance for future generations. However, democracy for Schiller was possible only under certain prerequisites. In demonstrating this, the author distinguishes between legal prerequisites (representation, independence of the citizens and members of parliament) and ethical prerequisites (political maturity). In chapter three, the author highlights the universality of democracy, i.e. the references to European and international law in Schiller's work. The author concludes that Schiller was a European thinker who apprehended the protection of civic liberty, particularly freedom of religion, as the core of a European identity. Moreover, Schiller spoke in support of peace in Europe and a balance of power between the European states. The author argues that ultimately, Schiller followed Hugo Grotius in advocating a humanitarian form of international law.  Free Download Freundschaft in finsteren Zeiten Gedanken zu Lessing By Hannah Arendt 2021 | 142 Pages | ISBN: 3957576067 | EPUB | 1 MB Die politische Dimension der Freundschaft entfaltet Hannah Arendt in ihren klassisch gewordenen Gedanken zu Lessing, die das gemeinsame Interesse an der Welt betonen. Denn die geschlossene Welt der Brüderlichkeit, in die Erniedrigte und Beleidigte sich ehemals zurückziehen konnten, ist in finsteren Zeiten zerstört worden, der Rückzug ins Private gescheitert und das Vergangene nicht zu bewältigen. Hannah Arendt setzt diesen verlorengegangenen Möglichkeiten eine Vision der Freundschaft entgegen, deren politische Leidenschaft vom gemeinsamen Interesse für die Welt lebt. Ihre ebenso polemische wie tröstende Auffassung des Miteinanders erhält im Licht der gegenwärtigen Polarisierung der Gesellschaft und politisch-gesellschaftlicher Krisen neue Bedeutung und Kraft.  Free Download Driss Ablali, "French theories on text and discourse " English | ISBN: 3110794330 | 2023 | 292 pages | EPUB | 2 MB It could be alleged that present-day French linguistics is characterized by a specific connection between the epistemology of text and that of discourse. The contributions gathered in this volume aim to reconsider this link - or dichotomy? - in light of the latest research developments. They are organized in three parts: the first explores the text-discourse connection, while the second and third tackle the epistemologies of text and discourse. |
