Free Download History, Rhetoric, and Proof: The Menachem Stern Lectures in History By Carlo Ginzburg 1999 | 119 Pages | ISBN: 0874519330 | PDF | 22 MB Historian Carlo Ginzburg uses the occasion of his Menachem Stern Lectureship to present a provocative and characteristically brilliant examination of the relation between rhetoric and historiography. In four lectures, based on a wide range of texts -- Aristotle's Poetics; humanist Lorenzo Valla's tract exposing the Donation of Constantine as a forgery; an early 18th-century Jesuit historical account purporting to record the diatribe of a Mariana Island native against Spanish rule; and Proust's commentary on Flaubert's style -- he demonstrates that rhetoric, if properly understood, is related not only to ornament but to historical understanding and truth.Ginzburg discovers a middle ground between the empiricist or positivist view of history, and the current postmodern tendency to regard any historical account as just one among an infinity of possible narratives, distinguished or measured not by the standard of truth, but by rhetorical skill. As a whole, these lectures stake out a position that both mediates and transcends warring factions in the current historiographical debate.  Free Download History in Transit: Experience, Identity, Critical Theory By Dominick Lacapra 2004 | 304 Pages | ISBN: 0801442540 | PDF | 23 MB History in Transit comprises Dominick LaCapra's explorations of relationships he believes have been insufficiently theorized: between experience and identity, between history and various theories of subjectivity, between extreme events and their representation, between institutional structures and the kinds of knowledge produced within them. Taken together, these discussions form a dialogical encounter, positing the links among epistemological questions, historicist ones, and issues pertaining to disciplinary and institutional politics. Reacting against the antitheoretical bias of some prominent historians, LaCapra presents an alternative model of historiographical practiceone in which emphases on plurality and hybridity are combined with the concept of historical experience. For LaCapra experience emerges as a category both theoretically determined and anchored in the facticity of the everyday. LaCapra tests the assumptions and implications of the way one approaches the past by looking to psychoanalysis to render more self-aware the relationship between the historian and his or her material. He offers criticisms of assumptions held by practicing historians and theorists, placing the study of history at the center of a larger argument about the role of the contemporary university. Contesting both corporatization and claims that the university is in ruins, LaCapra writes, "It is paradoxical that the demand to make the university conform to an ever-increasing extent to a market or business model seems oblivious to the fact that the American university has probably been the most successful of its type in the world, that students from other countries disproportionately desire to study in it."  Free Download Heretics: The Other Side of Christianity By Gerd Lüdemann 1996 | 335 Pages | ISBN: 0664220851 | PDF | 6 MB Traditional Christianity has always affirmed that God has preserved the orthodox or "true" faith. Ludemann asks the questions, "What if those we would call 'heretics' were right? What if the heretics were closer to the true faith?"  Free Download HBR Guide to Designing Your Retirement English | 2023 | ISBN: 1647824931 | 214 Pages | EPUB (True) | 2 MB Retirement is perhaps the greatest and most deeply personal career transition you'll ever make. Will you switch gears, slow down, or stop work entirely? Will you have the money, the good health, and the companionship you need to enjoy it?  Free Download Kenneth Levy, "Gregorian Chant and the Carolingians" English | ISBN: 0691017336 | | 296 pages | PDF | 27 MB A world-renowned scholar of plainchant, Kenneth Levy has spent a portion of his career investigating the nature and ramifications of this repertory's shift from an oral tradition to the written versions dating to the tenth century. In Gregorian Chant and the Carolingians, which represents the culmination of his research, Levy seeks to change long-held perceptions about certain crucial stages of the evolution and dissemination of the old corpus of plainchant-most notably the assumption that such a large and complex repertory could have become and remained fixed for over a century while still an oral tradition. Levy portrays the promulgation of an authoritative body of plainchant during the reign of Charlemagne by clearly differentiating between actual evidence, hypotheses, and received ideas.  Free Download James M. Kouzes, "Great Leadership Creates Great Workplaces " English | ISBN: 1118773306 | 2013 | 64 pages | PDF | 8 MB How can you inspire your employees to the high levels of engagement that drive strong results across the board?  Free Download Gothic Cinema: An introduction English | 2023 | ISBN: 3658407204 | 311 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 10.4 MB Gothic Cinema closes a gap in German-language film discourse: for the first time, the volume sheds light on a hitherto little-discussed film context. It considers Gothic Cinema as a form of unofficial historiography that allows a look not only at the history of film and its technique, but also at moral concepts, gender relations, collective fears or aesthetic currents. A delimitation and definition of the term and the central elements of the Gothic are followed by a comprehensive historical overview from 1896 to the present day. Three in-depth analyses of individual post-2015 gothic films and television series round out the review. On the one hand, the examples examined are representative in terms of typical elements, motifs or topoi, and on the other hand, they exhibit peculiarities and breaks that prove fruitful for a cultural and media studies investigation.  Free Download Thomas R. Horn, "God's Ghostbusters: Vampires? Ghosts? Aliens? Werewolves? Creatures of the Night Beware!" English | 2011 | pages: 418 | ISBN: 0983621659 | PDF | 3,0 mb Recently some 300 exorcists flocked to Poland for a week-long congress to examine the current fashion for vampirism the world-over and the apparent connection between this fascination and a surge in demonic possession.  Free Download Jamie Hunt, "Getting Stronger, Getting Fit: The Importance of Exercise" English | 2011 | pages: 50 | ISBN: 142221897X, 1422217094 | PDF | 4,0 mb If you don't use the calories you eat, your body will store them as fat. Getting plenty of exercise is one way to make sure this doesn't happen. But exercise is good for you in other ways as well. It helps your inside organs work better, it helps you think better, and it even makes you feel happier. You don't have to be an athlete. Exercise is for everyone!  Free Download George Seferis: Collected Poems - Revised Edition by George Seferis, Edmund Keeley, Philip Sherrard English | August 27, 1995 | ISBN: 0691068615 | 320 pages | PDF | 2.88 Mb In this new edition of George Seferis's poems, the acclaimed translations by Edmund Keeley and Philip Sherrard are revised and presented in a compact, English-only volume. The revision covers all the poems published in Princeton's earlier bilingual edition, George Seferis: Collected Poems (expanded edition, 1981). Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1963, George Seferis (1900-1971) has long been recognized as a major international figure, and Keeley and Sherrard are his ideal translators. They create, in the words of Archibald MacLeish, a "translation worthy of Seferis, which is to praise it as highly as it could be praised." |
