Critical Approaches to TV and Film Set Design

Critical Approaches to TV and Film Set Design

The analysis of scenic design in film and television is often neglected with visual design elements relegated to part of the mise-en-scène in cinema or simply as wallpaper in television. Critical Approaches to TV and Film Set Design positions itself from the audience perspective to explore how we watch TV and film and how set design enhances and influences the viewing experience. By using semiotics history and narratology and adding concepts drawn from art architecture and theatre Geraint D’Arcy reworks the key concepts of set design. Looking at the impact of production design on how the viewer reads film and television these updated theories can be applied more flexibly and extensively in academic criticism. D’Arcy creates a new theoretical approach representing a significant expansion of the field and filling the remaining gaps. This book is ideal for anyone interested in understanding how we can read and interpret design in film and television and should be the primary point of reference for those studying TV and film set design.

Natural Communions Religion and Public Life Volume 40

Natural Communions Religion and Public Life Volume 40

The academic treatment of the environment and nature since the 1980s has been formalized in sub-disciplines like environmental history environmental philosophy ecocriticism and eco-spirituality. Within these disciplines the concept of nature has been variously employed to reorient humanity to a holistic moral standard. In each case there is general consensus that inquiry ought to turn on moral considerations of the interaction of humans and the environment; with implied admonitions to live sustainably. Lending credence to the Earth as a superorganism in its own right these modern ecological expressions can be traced to Rachel Carson’s revelations in Silent Spring. However they have a long pre-history which appears in monistic philosophy the spirit of Deism in both Romanticism and the Enlightenment and in political expressions of the idea of Nature’s God designed to promote a secular vision of the state and to overturn predatory religious rivalries. With this literary momentum Natural Communions volume 40 of Religion and Public Life gathers interdisciplinary essays which reconfigure humanity within an ecotheological anthropology and which treat the idea of the sacred from the perspective of an Earth-centered spirituality thus redefining humanity’s response to ecological challenges and initiating a new status within a more expansive cosmology complete with a naturalized conception of Divine Reality. | Natural Communions Religion and Public Life Volume 40

Main Currents in Sociological Thought 2 Volume Set

Main Currents in Sociological Thought 2 Volume Set

Raymond Aron's classic two-volume study of the sociological tradition is arguably the definitive work of its kind. More than a work of reconstruction Aron's study is at its deepest level an engagement with the question of modernity: What constitutes the essence of the modern order that having emerged in the eighteenth century still shapes our experience? With scrupulous fairness Aron examines the thought and arguments of the major social thinkers in this two volume set. Volume one explores three traditions: the French liberal school of political sociology represented by Montesquieu and Tocqueville; the Comtean tradition anticipating Durkheim in its its elevation of social unity and consensus; and the Marxists who posited the struggle between classes and placed their faith in historical necessity. Volume two explores the work of three figures who profoundly shaped sociology as it entered the twentieth century: Emile Durkheim who continued Auguste Comte's quest for a science of society and a scientific validation of morality; Vilfredo Pareto the Italian neo-Machiavellian who emphasized the oligarchic or elitist character of all societies; and the German sociologist Max Weber who reflected critically on the prospects for human freedom in an age marked by bureaucratization and rationalization. Both volumes of Main Currents of Sociological Thought are essential reading for any student of sociology political thought and political philosophy as well as any general reader interested in the ideas the thinkers who shaped modern social and political thought. | Main Currents in Sociological Thought 2 Volume Set

Non-Renewable Resources and Disequilibrium Macrodynamics

Non-Renewable Resources and Disequilibrium Macrodynamics

This study first published in 1979 continues by examining the question of whether a competitive economy can efficiently allocate a stock of non-renewable natural resources through time. Long-run analyses of competitive economies with such resources have concluded that without perfect foresight or a complete set of future markets extending infinitely far into the future there is no economic mechanism to guarantee that the initial price is set so that the economy converges to the socially desirable path of balanced growth. This title will be of interest to students of environmental and natural resource economics. | Non-Renewable Resources and Disequilibrium Macrodynamics

Critical Approaches to Teaching the High School Novel Reinterpreting Canonical Literature

This edited collection will turn a critical spotlight on the set of texts that has constituted the high school canon of literature for decades.
