Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - William Henry Fox Talbot (1800-1877) ist vor allem als Erfinder der Fotografie bekannt. Basierend auf neuen Quellen wird die Leistung Talbots hier erstmals im Hinblick auf sein Gesamtoeuvre untersucht. Dies ermöglicht neue Interpretationen seiner Fotografien, die die Autorin primär als Hilfsmittel für seine vielfältigen wissenschaftlichen Interessen und somit als Teil eines epistemischen Gedankengebildes versteht. Da Talbot selbst maßgeblich an der Entzifferung von Keilschriften beteiligt war, propagierte er zunächst den Einsatz des Mediums im Museum und in der Archäologie. Als er jedoch die Seiten vom Erfinder zum Nutzer der Fotografie wechselte, wurde er zum Kritiker seiner eigenen Erfindung. …

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Vistas across the land, the landscape, and the garden are a particular hallmark of the Italian palaces and villas of the early modern era. The author of this book provides the first detailed documentation of the Renaissance reconstruction of the antique discourse on vistas of ideal places and architecturally staged and framed views. Making special reference to the treatise of Alberti and the Ducal Palace in Urbino, the buildings and treatise of Palladio, and mannierist and baroque buildings and texts, he also analyses the transformation of the ancient topos of the 'theatre of the hills' and the creation of the new, early-modern paradigm of the ideal view framed by the rectangular 'window with a vista', for which the term 'fenestra prospectiva' was coined in the 16th Century.; Aussichten auf Land, 'Landschaft' und Gärten sind ein bestimmendes Merkmal von Palästen und Villen der Frühen Neuzeit in Italien, deren Diskurse über ideale Orte und architektonisch inszenierte Aussichten in diesem Buch erstmals umfassend rekonstruiert werden. Die Wirkungsgeschichte des antiken Topos des 'Theaters aus Anhöhen' als idealtypische Aussicht einer Villa wird ebenso dargestellt wie die Genese des neuzeitlichen, ungeteilt-rechtwinkligen Aussichtsfensters. Die gebaute fenestra prospectiva (so ein Terminus des römischen Rechts) ist ein prägendes, aber bislang nicht beachtetes Bildmedium, die Aussicht ein wichtiges Thema von Architekten und Auftraggebern der italienischen Renaissance.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Research on the theory and history of photography has become established today both in the humanities and in cultural studies. This should not, however, lead us to disregard the need that exists for dialogue between these cultures of expertise: in art history and visual studies, in literary studies and history, and in museums and collections. Interest in the history of photography has increased rapidly in the age of digital images, and many contemporaries have experienced the transition from analog to digital photography as a paradigm shift. Investigating the history of the photographic image enables us to understand this change. The texts in this series seek to address these needs for a crossdisciplinary exchange of knowledge in the study of photography.; die Fotomontage wird in dieser Publikation zum ersten Mal als Propagandamittel im Faschismus von offizieller wie von privater und kommerzieller Seite erforscht. Die Publikation behandelt das bislang höchstens marginal erwähnte Thema anhand von zahlreichen, auch bislang unbekannten Beispielen aus den 1930er Jahren, die in den Zusammenhang kultureller und politischer Ereignisse in Italien gestellt werden. Die analysierten Fotomontagen werden in ihrer historischen Bedingtheit erfasst, die Lektüre der Bilder erfolgt in der Verbindung von politischer Ikonografie mit der Ikonologie als historisch-hermeneutischer Methode sowie der Rezeptionsästhetik. Die Publikation erschließt so den Sinn zahlreicher Fotomontagen in Ausstellungen, in der Architektur, in Zeitschriften und in der Werbung jener Zeit. Darüber hinaus erlaubtsie neue Erkenntnisse zu den Themen und Mechanismen der faschistischen Propaganda.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - In 1918, Western art sought to overturn and radically reshape society. In 1989, it wanted to critique the basic democratic capitalist order, but not to overthrow it. Salvador Dali illustrates this shift better than any other artist. Using unpublished source materials, this study analyzes Dali's political communication in art works as well as in his self-promotional engagement with the international mass media.; Das Buch führt von den russischen Avantgarden und ihrem Eintritt in die Sowjetpolitik zu den amerikanischen Künstlern, die 1989 Gesetzesentwürfe zur Abschaffung des staatlichen Kunstförderungsprogramms auslösen. Die westliche Kunst will 1918 die Gesellschaft brechen und radikal neu gestalten. Am Ende des Jahrhunderts sucht sie die demokratisch-kapitalistische Grundordnung zu kritisieren, aber nicht zu stürzen. Salvador Dalí veranschaulicht diesen Wandel wie kaum ein anderer Künstler. Ausgehend von uneditiertem Quellenmaterial wird Dalís politische Kommunikation in Kunstwerken und im selbstinszenierenden Umgang mit den internationalen Massenmedien analysiert. …

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Patient engagement should be envisaged as a key priority today to innovate healthcare services delivery and to make it more effective and sustainable. The experience of engagement is a key qualifier of the exchange between the demand (i.e. citizens/patients) and the supply process of healthcare services. To understand and detect the strategic levers that sustain a good quality of patients' engagement may thus allow not only to improve clinical outcomes, but also to increase patients' satisfaction and to reduce the organizational costs of the delivery of services. By assuming a relational marketing perspective, the book offers practical insights about the developmental process of patients' engagement, by suggesting concrete tools for assessing the levels of patients' engagement and strategies to sustain it. Crucial resources to implement these strategies are also the new technologies that should be (1) implemented according to precise guidelines and (2) designed according to a user-centered design process. Furthermore, the book describes possible fields of patients' engagement application by describing the best practices and experiences matured in different fields 154 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This is the first study to characterize the architectural patronage of Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni (1667-1740), and to identify twelve architects during his half century of patronage in his Ecclesiastical court of the Cancelleria. Most eminent among them were Filippo Juvarra and Domenico Gregorini. Commercial and private theaters in the palace are located from archival data, room measurements, drawings, diary accounts, Correspondence of the French Academy, and palimpsests of architectural details. The size, shape, appearance, capacity, and location of Filippo Juvarra's theater are discussed. Archival documents are cited to reveal why, how, and when it vanished. Detailed analysis is devoted to Juvarra's stage construction with its elaborate sets and moving apparatus. In his official function as Vice-Chancellor of the Church, it is well known that Ottoboni was positioned as a major patron of music, theater, and painting in late Baroque Rome. He was a librettist for oratorios performed by his resident composer, Arcangelo Corelli, and by Alessandro Scarlatti in venues in the palace, and in his basilica of San Lorenzo in Damaso, located in the palace grounds. His resident painters included Francesco Trevisani and Sebastiano Conca. He completed the construction of Bernini's Confessione in the nave of his basilica. As the sponsor of the Arcadian Academy, Ottoboni dictated taste in Roman cultural circles. His involvement in the competition for the façade of St. John Lateran is amplified. A grand overview is provided for the cardinal's commission of devotional machine constructed to rival the Lenten carnivals. As ephemeral constructions, and normally ignored liturgical phenomena, these are explored in detail for the first time.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Während in den experimentellen Wissenschaften fast ausschließlich von statistischer Wahrscheinlichkeit die Rede ist, verstehen in der Philosophie einflussreiche Bayesianer Wahrscheinlichkeit durchweg im subjektiven Sinn rationaler Glaubensgrade, wogegen die dritte Gruppe der mathematischen Wahrscheinlichkeitstheoretiker diesen Interpretationskonflikt ignoriert. In diesem Buch wird die Auffassung vertreten, dass man beide Wahrscheinlichkeitsbegriffe benötigt, weshalb ein dualistischer Ansatz entwickelt wird, dem es darum geht, Brückenprinzipien zwischen beiden Wahrscheinlichkeitsbegriffen herauszuarbeiten. In Anlehnung an einen bekannten Passus von Kant lässt sich die dualistische Position so formulieren: Subjektive ohne statistische Wahrscheinlichkeitstheorie ist blind, statistische ohne subjektive Wahrscheinlichkeitstheorie ist leer. Die dualistische Position bedeutet jedoch nicht, dass alles, was in beiden Positionen behauptet wurde, übernommen werden kann; dies würde zu Widersprüchen führen. In beiden Positionen müssen gewisse Anteile fallen gelassen werden, um zu einer kohärenten dualistischen Wahrscheinlichkeitstheorie zu gelangen. 236 pp. Deutsch.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The purpose of this book is to contribute to the appreciation of the linguistic, literary and contextual value of Homeric personal names. This is an old topic, which famously interested Plato, and an object of constant scholarly attention from the time of ancient commentators to the present day. The book begins with an introduction to the particularly complex set of factors that affect all efforts to interpret Homeric names. The main chapters are structured around the character and action of selected heroes in their Homeric contexts (in the case of the Iliad, a heroic war; the Odyssey chapter encompasses more than one planes of action). They offer a survey of modern etymologies, set against ancient views on names and naming, in order to reconstruct (as far as possible) the reception of significant names by ancient audiences and further to shed light on the parameters surrounding the choice and use of personal names in Homer. An Appendix touches on the underexplored career of Homeric personal names as historical names, offering data and a preliminary analysis.; 'Sozomena' bedeutet auf Griechisch 'Gerettetes'. Die Reihe widmet sich der Erschließung von Texten, die aus der griechischen und römischen Antike nur durch ausserordentliche Fund-Umstände erhalten geblieben sind - allen voran durch Papyri, von denen Tausende in Universitäten und Bibliotheken unentziffert vorhanden sind. Die Reihe soll hauptsächlich Texte edieren und interpretieren, aber auch die Methoden der Erschließung diskutieren. Verschiedene Buchtypen werden daher hier veröffentlicht: Texteditionen, Kommentare, Monographien und Sammelbände. Die Hauptsprache der Publikationen ist Englisch, daneben auch Deutsch und Italienisch. Herausgegeben werden die Sozomena von Alessandro Barchiesi (Harvard, MA), Robert Fowler (Bristol), Lucia Prauscello (Oxford) und Nigel Wilson (Oxford) im Namen der Herculaneum Society, die zur Förderung der Erschließung des wichtigsten Fundkomplexes antiker Papyri gegründet wurde: der Villa dei Papiri im Pompeji benachbarten antiken Herculaneum mit ihren zum Teil noch nicht ausgegrabenen Schätzen an Textrollen. 200 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Relying on internal sources, Wilfried Loth analyses the birth and subsequent development of the European Union, from the launch of the Council of Europe and the Schuman Declaration until the Euro crisis and the contested European presidential election of Jean-Claude Juncker. This book shines a light on the crises of the European integration, such as the failure of the European Defence Community, De Gaulle's empty chair policy, or the rejection of the European Constitution in France and the Netherlands, but also highlights the indubitable successes that are the Franco-German reconciliation, the establishment of the European common market, and the establishment of an expanding common currency. What this study accomplishes, for the first time, is to illuminate the driving forces behind the European integration process and how it changed European politics and society.'An enlightening work. A required reading for all who doubt the unfinished history of Europe.' - Rolf Steininger, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.'This book will become an indispensable standard work.' - Jörg Himmelreich, Neue Zürcher Zeitung.; Wilfried Loth erzählt die Entstehung und Entwicklung der Europäischen Union auf der Grundlage interner Quellen, von der Lancierung des Europarats und des Schuman-Plans bis zur Euro-Krise und zur umkämpften Wahl von Jean-Claude Juncker zum Präsidenten der Europäischen Kommission. Krisen der europäischen Integration wie das Scheitern der Europäischen Verteidigungsgemeinschaft, die 'Krise des leeren Stuhls' in der Ära de Gaulle oder die Ablehnung des Verfassungsvertrags in Frankreich und in den Niederlanden werden ebenso beleuchtet wie unzweifelhafte Erfolge: die deutsch-französische Aussöhnung, die Schaffung eines Gemeinsamen Marktes, die zahlreichen Erweiterungen und die Etablierung einer Gemeinschaftswährung. Auf diese Weise wird zum ersten Mal deutlich, welche Antriebskräfte hinter dem europäischen Integrationsprozess stehen und wie er Politik und Gesellschaft in Europa verändert.

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book places transcultural memory in the South Asian cultural and literary context. Divided into two parts, the book first defines transcultural memory in the age of globalised modernity both as a theory and social practice. Then it examines contemporary Indo-English novels from India and Pakistan with the theoretical and methodological tool of transcultural memory to shed new light on the connection between memory and modernity, and memory and South Asian cultures in the wake of new social and political transformations on the Indian subcontinent. A special focus on commemorative tropes in the novels not only show the possibility of a dialogue with different versions of the past, but also how such a dialogue shapes processes of remembrance between and beyond borders. Hence, the books comes up with alternative ways of reading the Indo-English novels, divesting the concept of (trans)cultural memory from its Euro- centrism and claiming it as equally significant in comprehending the new configurations of memory and modernity in non-Western locations.; Im Kontext der kulturwissenschaftlichen Gedächtnisforschung widmet sich diese interdisziplinär ausgerichtete Reihe dem Verhältnis von Medien und kultureller Erinnerung.
