«Word», Words, and World: How a Wittgensteinian Perspective on Metaphor-Making Reveals the Theo-logic of Reality (Religions and Discourse) By Susan Patterson
2013 | 251 Pages | ISBN: 3034302304 | PDF | 7 MB
The question this book aims to address is: how do we take on board post-modern insights regarding the relationship between language and world without losing our grip on theological truth? Employing the linguistic philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein as 'philosophical hand-maid' (as opposed to 'metaphysical gate-keeper', which has tended to be the case), it subjects to critique both traditional realist and post-modern constructivist perspectives as it examines how the nature and role of metaphor-making at the creative edge of language casts light on the God-language-world relationship. It concludes that a Wittgensteinian understanding of the relationship between language and world is not only compatible with a 'theistic-realist' doctrine of God but that the shape of this doctrine is inescapably Trinitarian.
«Dreaming again on things already dreamed»: 500 Years of Orlando Furioso (1516-2016) By Marco Dorigatti (editor), Maria Pavlova (editor)
2019 | 376 Pages | ISBN: 178707899X | PDF | 6 MB
The Argentinian poet Jorge Luis Borges, whose visionary poem «Ariosto y los árabes» inspired the title of this book, defined Ariosto's Orlando furioso as a dream: a dream that grew out of the medieval legends of Charlemagne and King Arthur to conquer the entire western world and become a collective fantasy, a mirror onto which for centuries countless readers have reflected their own dreams and aspirations. That dream reached its 500th anniversary in 2016 and, to mark the occasion, a group of 14 scholars, comprising internationally acclaimed specialists as well as younger researchers, came together in Oxford to reflect on Ariosto in what would turn out to be a memorable meeting of minds. This book contains their thoughts and ideas, and above all their dialogue, offering fresh perspectives on one of the most enigmatic works of European, and - increasingly - world literature. Divided into three parts (Tradition; Interpretation; Reception), it aims to establish what Ariosto's poem was in its own time, at key stages during its five-century history, and of course what it means today. In revisiting Ariosto's dream, it tries to answer the question: is it still alive?

alieNATION: The Divide & Conquer Election of 2012 (Frontiers in Political Communication) By Dianne G. Bystrom (editor), Mary C. Banwart (editor), Mitchell S. McKinney (editor)
2014 | 341 Pages | ISBN: 1433125544 | PDF | 4 MB
alieNATION presents research conducted by a national election team and leading scholars in political communication that explores a range of important topics and variables affecting voter attitudes and behavior in the 2012 U.S. presidential election. In exploring the messages, issues, and voters of the 2012 election, these studies employ multiple methods including experimental design, content analysis, rhetorical criticism, and survey research. Whereas other election research tends to investigate either the content or effects of campaign communication, the more comprehensive and systematic nature of this collection enables alieNATION to cohere thematically around considerations of voter alienation, political engagement, political efficacy, and ultimately, citizens' voting decisions.
Youth Community Inquiry: New Media for Community and Personal Growth (New Literacies and Digital Epistemologies) By Bertram Bruce (editor), Ann Peterson Bishop (editor), Nama R. Budhathoki (editor)
2014 | 195 Pages | ISBN: 1433124041 | PDF | 7 MB
Youth Community Inquiry offers a detailed look at how young people use new media to help their communities thrive. Chapters address questions about learning, digital technology, and community engagement through the theory of community inquiry. The settings range from a small farming town, to a mostly immigrant community, to inner-city Chicago, and include youth from ages eight to 20. Going beyond works on social media in a narrow sense, the projects in these settings involve the use of varied technologies, such as GPS/GIS mapping tools, video production, use of archives and databases, podcasts, and Internet radio. The development of inquiry-based activities serves as a record of the diverse experiences and a guide to future projects. The book concludes with an overview of a curriculum that readers may adapt for their own settings.
Your Guide to Excellent Interview Technique: Suited for Students and University Students by RAZAQ ADEKUNLE
English | 2020 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B08KTB4SMS | 148 pages | EPUB | 0.16 Mb
Despite the obvious importance of eyewitness information in criminal investigation, police receive surprisingly little instruction on how to conduct an effective interview with a cooperative eyewitness. More than half of police departments have no formal training whatsoever for newly appointed investigators. Most texts in police science either completely omit the issue of effective interviewing techniques or provide only superficial coverage. This manual provides guiding principles to effective interviewing, with specific techniques to be used and others to be avoided. There are principles of memory retrieval so that the reader will understand why to employ specific techniques for example, when to use open-ended versus direct short-answer questions, effective use of pauses, asking follow-up questions, cues to name and number recall, etc. There is the strategy of interview sequential structure that is, what to probe for at the beginning, middle, and end of the interview. Also included are practical exercises and real-world experiences. The book will also be helpful for attorneys in conducting investigative interviews.
