Senses of Vibration. A History of the Pleasure and Pain of Sound
| Edizione: | Continuum, 2012 |
Tempi di rifornimento |
Indicativamente procurabile in 10-15 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 61,00 | | Descrizione | The study of the senses has become a rich topic in recent years. Senses of Vibration explores a wide range of sensory experience and makes a decisive new contribution to this growing field by focussing not simply on the senses as such, but on the material experience – vibration – that underpins them.
This is the first book to take the theme of vibration as central, offering an interdisciplinary history of the phenomenon and its reverberations in the cultural imaginary. It tracks vibration through the work of a wide range of writers, including physiologists (who thought vibrations in the nerves delivered sensations to the brain), physicists (who claimed that light, heat, electricity and other forms of energy were vibratory), spiritualists (who figured that spiritual energies also existed in vibratory form), and poets and novelists from Coleridge to Dickens and Wells. Senses of Vibration is a work of scholarship that cuts through a range of disciplines and will reverberate for many years to come.Cover photograph courtesy of Andrew Davidhazy. | Aggiungi al Carrello |

Perfecting Justice in Rawls, Habermas and Honneth. A Deconstructive Perspective
| Edizione: | Continuum, 2012 |
Tempi di rifornimento |
Indicativamente procurabile in 10-15 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 92,00 | | Descrizione | In this exciting new work, Miriam Bankovsky shows how the pursuit of justice requires two orientations. The first is a practical commitment to the possibility of justice, which is the clear starting point for the broadly constructive theories of Rawls, Habermas and Honneth. Indeed, if justice were not possible, it would be difficult to see why it is worthwhile for human beings to live on this earth. However, a second orientation qualifies the first. It can be expressed as a deconstructive attentiveness to the impossibility of determining justice’s content. This impossibility results from the tension between the appeal for individual consideration and the appeal for impartiality, demands that Derrida believes our historical concept of justice includes. | Aggiungi al Carrello |

Poverty, Heresy, and the Apocalypse. The Order of Apostles and Social Change in Medieval Italy 1260-1307
| Edizione: | Continuum, 2012 |
Tempi di rifornimento |
Indicativamente procurabile in 10-15 giorni lavorativi | | Info disponibilità | Rifornimento in corso | | Prezzo di acquisto | € 92,00 | | Descrizione | This is the first study to examine the rise and fall of a medieval religious group, the Order of Apostles, that began with orthodox support but ended in the fires of heresy. Originating in 1260 in Parma the group was founded by Gerard Segarelli who believed that a life of apostolic poverty was the true path of Christian devotion. Segarelli was initially supported by the Church but as his cohort grew in number and fame he was charged with heresy by the powerful Franciscans, was tried, and burnt as a heretic. The Order’s control was assumed by Fra Dolcino who led the Apostles into direct opposition to the Roman Church and was himself executed in 1307. This is an important study presenting new findings in the history of medieval heresy, as well as placing the Order of Apostles within the larger context of political, economic and social history. By examining the rise and fall of the Apostles Pierce shows the dramatic consequences of the transformation of European society during the high Middle Ages. | Aggiungi al Carrello |
