Origin and Ellipsis in the Writing of Hilary Mantel An Elliptical Dialogue with the Thinking of Jacques Derrida

Origin and Ellipsis in the Writing of Hilary Mantel An Elliptical Dialogue with the Thinking of Jacques Derrida

Origin and Ellipsis in the Writing of Hilary Mantel provokes a re-engagement with Derrida’s thinking in contemporary literature with particular emphasis on the philosopher’s preoccupation with the process of writing. This is the first book-length study of Mantel’s writing not just in terms of Derrida’s thought but through any critical perspective or lens to date. | Origin and Ellipsis in the Writing of Hilary Mantel An Elliptical Dialogue with the Thinking of Jacques Derrida

The Portable Community Place and Displacement in Bluegrass Festival Life

The Portable Community Place and Displacement in Bluegrass Festival Life

This book explores the various ways in which individuals use music and culture to understand and respond to changes in their natural and built environments. Drawing on over 15 years of ethnographic fieldwork interviews and participant observation the author develops the thesis that the relationships networks and intimate forms of social interaction in the “portable” community cultivated at bluegrass festival events are significant cultural formations that shape participants’ relationships to their localities. With specific attention to the ways in which the strength of these relationships are translated into meaningful sites of community identity place and action following devastating local floods that destroyed homes and businesses displacing residents for years The Portable Community: Place and Displacement in Bluegrass Festival Life sheds light on the strength of such communities when tested and under external threat. A study of the central role of arts and music in grappling with social and environmental change including their role in facilitating disaster relief and recovery this volume will appeal to scholars of sociology with interests in symbolic interactionism the sociology of music culture and the sociology of disaster. | The Portable Community Place and Displacement in Bluegrass Festival Life

The Archaeology of Portable Art Southeast Asian Pacific and Australian Perspectives

The Archaeology of Portable Art Southeast Asian Pacific and Australian Perspectives

The development of complex cultural behaviour in our own species is perhaps the most significant research issue in modern archaeology. Until recently it was believed that our capacity for language and art only developed after some of our ancestors reached Europe around 40 000 years ago. Archaeological discoveries in Africa now show that modern humans were practicing symbolic behaviours prior to their dispersal from that continent and more recent discoveries in Indonesia and Australia are once again challenging ideas about human cultural development. Despite these significant discoveries and exciting potentials there is a curious absence of published information about Asia-Pacific region and consequently global narratives of our most celebrated cognitive accomplishment — art — has consistently underrepresented the contribution of Southeast Asia Australia and the Pacific Islands. This volume provides the first outline of what this region has to offer to the world of art in archaeology. Readers undertaking tertiary archaeology courses interested in the art of the Asia-Pacific region or human behavioural evolution along with anyone who is fascinated by the development of our modern ability to decorate ourselves and our world should find this book a good addition to their library. | The Archaeology of Portable Art Southeast Asian Pacific and Australian Perspectives

Astronomy and Astrology in al-Andalus and the Maghrib

Astronomy and Astrology in al-Andalus and the Maghrib

This new volume of papers by Julio Sams³ deals with the development of astronomy and astrology in al-Andalus and the Maghrib between the 10th and the 19th centuries. Opening with a survey of the social history of the exact sciences in al-Andalus the book then looks at astronomical tables: the first stages of the introduction of al-Khwarizmi's and al-Battani's tables through the school of Maslama al-Majriti the development of Ibn al-Zarqalluh/ Azarquiel's theories in Maghribi zijes (Ibn al-Banna' and Ibn Azzuz) and the abandonment of this tradition towards the end of the 14th century. From this period onwards new Eastern zijes (Muhyi al-Din al-Maghribi Ibn al-Shatir Ulugh Beg) are introduced in the Maghrib and towards the beginning of the 17th century a translation of Abraham Zacut and José Vizinho's Almanach Perpetuum (end of the 15th century) becomes well known in the whole Islamic world from Morocco to the Yemen. As well as zijes themselves the author also deals with theoretical astronomy (the use of an elliptical deferent for Mercury in Ibn al-Zarqalluh's equatorium and the criticisms of Ibn al-Haytham and Jabir b. Aflah on Ptolemy's determination of the parameters of the same planet) and with the use of zijes for the calculation of horoscopes and an experimental astrological method for the correction of mean motion planetary tables (Ibn Azzuz).

The Cathedrals of Pisa Siena and Florence A Thorough Inspection of the Medieval Construction Techniques

The Cathedrals of Pisa Siena and Florence A Thorough Inspection of the Medieval Construction Techniques

The construction techniques and concepts of the cathedrals of Pisa Siena and Florence are examined in detail based on new data and using a methodological architectural diagnostics approach. New detailed surveys carried out using often advanced tools together with direct and in-depth inspections to examine all parts of the buildings have enabled us to identify the building phases and the different construction techniques used over time. The information thereby acquired also formed the basis for a new interpretation of the archival documents. Accordingly the problems encountered and the solutions adopted in the three cathedrals have been understood: in Pisa the construction of the elliptical dome above the rectangular crossing consisting of six thin pillars below; in Siena the design changes from the first system in the 13th century to the ‘Duomo Nuovo’ and the structural adaptations following earthquakes; the specific construction solutions adopted in Florence during the instability encountered in the construction of the large vaults of the basilican body. The comparison of the three buildings in terms of architectural and construction solutions also revealed unexpected relationships between the construction events of Siena’s Duomo Nuovo and the solutions then used in the large basilican body of Santa Maria del Fiore. The methodology employed has led to an understanding of the actual structure of the three cathedrals an essential basis for a correct evaluation of the state of conservation of the churches for any restoration work. The book is aimed at scholars of architecture and ancient building structures graduate and postgraduate students and architects and engineers who plan architectural conservation and strengthening works for historical buildings. | The Cathedrals of Pisa Siena and Florence A Thorough Inspection of the Medieval Construction Techniques
