Among the material included is a complete reprint of the 1913 edition of Colin Bennett's The Handbook of Kinematography. Technical production is covered with a section on micro-kinematography tele-kinematography and general natural history filming.

Sports Diplomacy Origins Theory and Practice

Sports Diplomacy Origins Theory and Practice

This book offers an accessible overview of the role sport plays in international relations and diplomacy. Sports diplomacy has previously been defined as an old but under-studied aspect of the estranged relations between peoples nations and states. These days it is better understood as the conscious strategic and ongoing use of sport sportspeople and sporting events by state and non-state actors to advance policy trade development education image reputation brand and people-to-people links. In order to better understand the many occasions where sport and diplomacy overlap this book presents four new inter-disciplinary and theoretical categories of sports diplomacy: traditional ‘new’ sport-as-diplomacy and sports anti-diplomacy. These categories are further validated by a large number of case studies ranging from the Ancient Olympiad to the recent appearance of esoteric government sports diplomacy strategies and beyond to the activities of non-state sporting actors such as F. C. Barcelona Colin Kaepernick and the digital world of e-sports. As a result the landscape of sports diplomacy becomes clearer as do the pitfalls and limitations of using sport as a diplomatic tool. This book will be of much interest to students of diplomacy foreign policy sports studies and International Relations in general. | Sports Diplomacy Origins Theory and Practice

Post-Truth Society A Political Anthropology of Trickster Logic

Post-Truth Society A Political Anthropology of Trickster Logic

It is widely asserted that we are now living in a post-truth society. What that means this book argues is that the contemporary global world is thoroughly infested not only with trickster figures but an entire and operational trickster logic; or that we now live in a Trickster Land – an argument advanced by the claim that in modernity liminality has become permanent; or that modern life is patently absurd. The first part of the book presents a series of ‘guides’ to this condition in the form of key thinkers and writers who can help us understand and navigate our Trickster Land. Such guides include Hermann Broch Lewis Hyde Roberto Calasso Michel Serres Sándor Márai Colin Thubron and Albert Camus. The second part goes on to discuss five main regions of Trickster Land: art thought the economy politics and society. This last central chapter of the book contrasts trickster logic with the basic foundational logic of social life presented as gift-giving by Marcel Mauss and as sociability by Georg Simmel and which is expressed here combining Heraclitus and Plato with the Gospel of John by three basic terms of ancient Greek culture as arkhé charis logos: meaningful social life originally and in its essence is animated by the power of kind benevolence. This volume will appeal to scholars of social theory anthropology and sociology with interests in political thought and contemporary culture. | Post-Truth Society A Political Anthropology of Trickster Logic

From Formalism to Weak Form: The Architecture and Philosophy of Peter Eisenman

From Formalism to Weak Form: The Architecture and Philosophy of Peter Eisenman

Peter Eisenman is one of the most controversial protagonists of the architectural scene who is known as much for his theoretical essays as he is for his architecture. While much has been written about his built works and his philosophies most books focus on one or the other aspect. By structuring this volume around the concept of form Stefano Corbo links together Eisenman’s architecture with his theory. From Formalism to Weak Form: The Architecture and Philosophy of Peter Eisenman argues that form is the sphere of mediation between our body our inner world and the exterior world and as such it enables connections to be made between philosophy and architecture. From the start of his career on Eisenman has been deeply interested in the problem of form in architecture and has constantly challenged the classical concept of it. For him form is not simply a cognitive tool that determines a physical structure which discriminates all that is active from what is passive what is inside from what is outside. He has always tried to connect his own work with the cultural manifestations of the time: firstly under the influence of Colin Rowe and his formalist studies; secondly by re-interpreting Chomsky’s linguistic theories; in the 80’s by collaborating with Derrida and his de-constructivist approach; more recently by discovering Henri Bergson's idea of Time. These different moments underline different phases different projects different programmatic manifestos; and above all an evolving notion of form. Taking a multi-disciplinary approach based on the intersections between architecture and philosophy this book investigates all these definitions and in doing so provides new insights into and a deeper understanding of the complexity of Eisenman’s work.
