Swinburne's Apollo - Yisrael Levin - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Swinburne's Apollo - Yisrael Levin - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Focusing on Algernon Charles Swinburne''s poems on Apollo, Yisrael Levin calls for a re-examination of the poet''s place in Victorian studies in light of his contributions to nineteenth-century intellectual history. Swinburne''s Apollonian poetry, Levin argues, shows the poet''s active participation in late-Victorian debates about the nature and function of faith in an age of changing religious attitudes. Levin traces the shifts that took place in Swinburne''s conception of Apollo over a period of four decades, from Swinburne''s attempt to define Apollo as an alternative to the Judeo-Christian deity to Swinburne''s formation of a theological system revolving around Apollo and finally to the ways in which Swinburne''s view of Apollo led to his agnostic view of spirituality. Even though Swinburne had lost his faith and rejected institutional religion by his early twenties, he retained a distinct interest in spiritual issues and paid careful attention to developments in religious thought. Levin persuasively shows that Swinburne was not simply a poet provocateur who enjoyed controversy but failed to provide valid cultural commentary, but was rather a profound thinker whose insights into nineteenth-century spirituality are expressed throughout his Apollonian poetry.

Jeff Koons: Apollo - - Bog - Kentro Synchronis - Plusbog.dk

Documenting Koons’ multisensory homage to the sun god, a timeless dialogue with ancient history The definitive record of Jeff Koons’ (born 1955) Apollo Wind Spinner , his transcendent offering to Apollo, this volume brings together lush plates of the eponymous 2022 DESTE exhibition alongside an essay by Daniel Birnbaum and an extensive interview with the artist by Dakis Joannou. Koons’ multisensory installation shone a light on the interwoven history of Greek myth, readymade sculpture and contemporary art to wide acclaim—so much so that the inhabitants of Hydra voted unanimously to have the work remain permanently installed on the roof of the DESTE Slaughterhouse building.The many threads of this particular story are explicated here through a detailed "glossary of terms," tracing references from Plato to Duchamp and enlightening the reader on one of Koons’ most distinctive works of the last decade.

The Rhetoric of Project Apollo - Dr Kathy K Previs - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

The Rhetoric of Project Apollo - Dr Kathy K Previs - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

On July 20, 1969, Americans not only landed on the Moon, but the televised spectacle forever changed the ways in which news and commentary about historical events would be presented to audiences. In The Rhetoric of Project Apollo , Kathy Previs provides a comprehensive analysis of the rhetorical strategies that CBS News employed in covering the Apollo missions from 1968–1972 and documents the role that NASA’s public relations office had in televising the exciting moonshots. She illustrates how CBS’s and NASA’s symbolic representations followed a “ritual view of communication,” enabling viewers to make sense of complex technological feats and scientific discoveries, while garnering public support for the costly missions. Based on four rhetorical categories – nationalism, romanticism, pragmatism, and technology – Previs also provides an in-depth analysis of which narratives have withstood the test of time in how Apollo is remembered on CBS News, and across a variety of televised platforms including CNN, the History Channel, and PBS, from 1973–2022, marking the 50th anniversary of Apollo''s last mission. From Cold War metaphors to now recognizing the role women had in Apollo’s successes, its story continues to resonate with and inspire audiences around the world.

The Oracles of Apollo in Asia Minor (Routledge Revivals) - H. Parke - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Oracles of Apollo in Asia Minor (Routledge Revivals) - H. Parke - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Delphi, although by far the most prestigious, was not the only oracular site dedicated to the god of prophecy. The Oracles of Apollo in Asia Minor , first published in 1985, presents the first unified account of these lesser-known religious establishments: at Didyma, Claros, Gryneion and Patara. Many Greek communities in Asia Minor turned to Apollo for advice on conduct in their affairs, and it is at the oracles that we can discern the most explicit interaction between normal people and their traditional religion. Oracular interventions in history are examined, as is the organisation of the shrines themselves, and the methods of consultation in the mysterious darkened passages of Didyma or on the bright headland of Claros. The Oracles of Apollo in Asia Minor is accessibly written, does not require a prior familiarity with Classical Greek, and will be of value to students of ancient religion, Greek culture and archaeology.

The Human Factor in Machine Translation - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Human Factor in Machine Translation - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Machine translation has become increasingly popular, especially with the introduction of neural machine translation in major online translation systems. However, despite the rapid advances in machine translation, the role of a human translator remains crucial. As illustrated by the chapters in this book, man-machine interaction is essential in machine translation, localisation, terminology management, and crowdsourcing translation. In fact, the importance of a human translator before, during, and after machine processing, cannot be overemphasised as human intervention is the best way to ensure the translation quality of machine translation. This volume explores the role of a human translator in machine translation from various perspectives, affording a comprehensive look at this topical research area. This book is essential reading for anyone involved in translation studies, machine translation or interested in translation technology.
