Talk and Social Structure - Studies in Ethnomethodology and Conversation Analysis | Deirdre Boden, Don H. Zimmerman usato Scienze umane Antropologia

Talk and Social Structure - Studies in Ethnomethodology and Conversation Analysis | Deirdre Boden, Don H. Zimmerman usato Scienze umane Antropologia

Talk and Social Structure is an up-to-date and provocative survey of current developments combining the complementary fields of ethnomethodology and conversation analysis. The book provides a distinctive debate that relates these innovative areas to important issues in the social sciences. Including contributions from many of the world leaders in these fields, the book offers both new theoretical depth and an extensive range of empirical studies that focus on the reflexive relation of everyday talk and social structure. Contributors include Emanuel A. Schegloff, John Heritage, Thomas P. Wilson, Hugh Mehan, Douglas W. Maynard, George Psathas, Paul ten Have, Robert Hopper, Hanneke Houtkoop-Steenstra, Graham Button, and David Greatbatch, with a thematic chapter from the editors. Through the use of many examples, they demonstrate that studies of talk are important in their own right, while also having fundamental theoretical significance for social analysis.

Ethiopia Photographed - Historic Photographs of the Country and its People taken between 1867 and 1935 | Richard Pankhurst, Denis Gérard usato

Ethiopia Photographed - Historic Photographs of the Country and its People taken between 1867 and 1935 | Richard Pankhurst, Denis Gérard usato

Following the very successful Ethiopia Engraved, an illustrated book of engravings by foreign travellers from 1681 to 1900, Ethiopia Photographed covers the period from the inception of photography in the country up to the Italian Fascist invasion in 1936. The people, terrain, buildings and rulers of Ethiopia - such as Emperor Melenik, Lej Iyasu and Emperor Haile Selassie - make it a highly photogenic country, as this lavishly illustrated book reveals.Situated in lofty, often inaccessible mountains between the Red Sea and the Blue Nile, and extending far into the Horn of Africa, it is a complex and mysterious country which as always exercised an extraordinary fascination for the outside world. The book begins with an introduction which gives a brief history of Ethiopia in this period, and describes the role of photography at this time. The richly captured images of Ethiopia Photographed bear witness to many personalities and places not previously seen and, in many cases, now lost for all time but for the photogenic memories recorded here.

Bringing the Jobless into Work? - Experiences with Activation Schemes in Europe and the US | Werner Eichhorst, Otto Kaufmann, Regina Konle-Seidl usato

Bringing the Jobless into Work? - Experiences with Activation Schemes in Europe and the US | Werner Eichhorst, Otto Kaufmann, Regina Konle-Seidl usato

Over the last decade, many industrialized countries shifted from passive unemployment and welfare benefit regimes and traditional active labor market and social policies to activation strategies by making benefit receipt conditional upon accepting job offers or participation in active labor market schemes. But countries differ with regard to the design of activation instruments and their implementation, the definition of target groups and the effects of activation in the national labor market setting. This volume provides an up-to-date overview of activation strategies in unemployment benefit systems and social assistance in selected European countries and the US. A particular focus lies on the development of activation schemes, governance and implementation as well as on the outcomes of activation in terms of labor market and social integration. The volume is the first to address these issues both from a socio-economic and a legal perspective.

Symbols and Rebuses in Chinese Art - Figures, bugs, beasts, and flowers | Fang Jing Pei usato Arte Moderna

Symbols and Rebuses in Chinese Art - Figures, bugs, beasts, and flowers | Fang Jing Pei usato Arte Moderna

Almost every early culture once had a system of symbols that was eventually replaced with a spoken and then written language. In Chinese culture, the evolution of symbols and their meanings took a slightly different and unique path. Rather than the visual symbols being replaced by the written language, in China, the symbols themselves evolved into the written language. In SYMBOLS AND REBUSES IN CHINESE ART, author Fang Jing Pei catalogs the hundreds of symbols in Chinese artistry, and describes each of their meanings. (A rebus is a pictorial representation of a word or syllable.) He explains, for instance, why a depiction of a bat can mean happiness, and why some beautiful images, such as sparrows and pears, are rarely seen. Using myths, folklore, history, and religion to explore the significance of each symbol, Fang presents a comprehensive understanding of the important role symbolism has played, and continues to play, in Chinese culture.An A-to-Z catalog of the hundreds of symbols represented in the Chinese arts, with images and text to explore their meanings.Includes more than 200 color and black-and-white images of ceramics, porcelains, carvings, lacquers, embroidery, paintings, and wood blocks depicting the various symbols.

Oriental Carpets - Their Iconology and Iconography from Earliest Times to the 18th Century | Volkmar Gantzhorn usato Arte Antiquariato

Oriental Carpets - Their Iconology and Iconography from Earliest Times to the 18th Century | Volkmar Gantzhorn usato Arte Antiquariato

In this volume, two and a half thousand years are presented and analysed, The author's research has resulted in completely new insights and relationships -- a revision of the history of the oriental carpet. He has been able to trace the pattern back to Phrygian and other traditions, which were carried on by the Armenians up to the beginning of our own century: carpets as symbols of power, as deeply religious abstract textile icons. The oriental carpet is neither of nomadic origin, nor does its origin lie in central Asia; it is a product of ancient oriental civilisations in the Armenian uplands at the crossroads of the oldest trade routes between west, north and south. The author's assertion is supported by the visual material he presents. For the first time coloured illustrations of the most important and most splendid examples of every type of carpet have been included. The illustrations include book illumination, paintings, arts and crafts and details of architecture and clarify developments hitherto unrecognised. This work documents what is probably Armenia's main contribution to world history. It is a must for any connoisseur of carpets and for anyone who does not wish merely to dream of the Orient. Volkmar Gantzhorn has specialised in Christian and Islamic art in recent years. His continuing research is concerned with surface ornamentation in book illumination, architecture, ceramics and arts and crafts in general. --jacket.

Intonation and its uses. Melody in grammar and discourse | Dwight Bolinger usato Saggi di letteratura Linguistica

Intonation and its uses. Melody in grammar and discourse | Dwight Bolinger usato Saggi di letteratura Linguistica

Marking the climax of over fourty years of investigation and reflection by Professor Bolinger, this major study looks at how intonation varies among speakers and societies in terms of age, sex, and region; how it interacts with grammar; and how it has been invoked to explain certain questionsof logic. The discussion of variation shows the degree to which intonation can be conventionalised yet embody a universal core of feelings and attitudes, renewed with each generation.
