Simon Duffy, Paul Patton, "Virtual Mathematics: The Logic of Difference"
English | 2006 | ISBN: 1903083311 | PDF | pages: 280 | 10.2 mb
These essays examine the work of Gilles Deleuze, in particular his practice of enlisting mathematical resources to underpin and inform a wide variety of philosophical positions. Deleuze's work serves as a focus in these pieces for alternative conceptual lineages and as a rich source for fashioning mathematical concepts as tools for understanding a world seen in terms of becoming and difference.With contributions from Alain Badiou, Manuel DeLanda, Gilles Châtelet, and Daniel Smith, this analytic review challenges the self-imposed limits of philosophy while it elucidates a host of connections between mathematics and philosophy.

David Rojinsky, "Viewing Photography in Post-Dictatorship Latin America: Visual Interruptions, 1997-2016"
English | ISBN: 3031175891 | 2022 | 310 pages | EPUB | 9 MB
This book examines the archival aesthetic of mourning and memory developed by Latin American artists and photographers between 1997-2016. Particular attention is paid to how photographs of the assassinated or disappeared political dissident of the 1970s and 1980s, as found in family albums and in official archives, were not only re-imagined as conduits for private mourning, but also became allegories of social trauma and the struggle against socio-political amnesia. Memorials, art installations, photo-essays, street projections, and documentary films are all considered as media for the reframing of these archival images from the era of the Cold War dictatorships in Argentina, Chile, Guatemala, and Uruguay. While the turn of the millennium was supposedly marked by "the end of history" and, with the advent of digital technologies, by "the end of photography," these works served to interrupt and hence, belie the dominant narrative on both counts. Indeed, the book's overarching contention is that the viewer's affective identification with distant suffering when engaging these artworks is equally

Mark C. Amodio, Katherine O'Brien O'Keeffe, "Unlocking the Wordhord: Anglo-Saxon Studies in Memory of Edward B. Irving, Jr."
English | 2003 | ISBN: 0802048226 | PDF | pages: 374 | 18.8 mb
The Anglo-Saxons placed a great deal of importance on wisdom and learning, something Beowulf makes dramatically clear when he uses his 'wordhord' to command respect and admiration from his friends and foes alike. Modern day scholars no longer have recourse to the living language and culture of the Anglo-Saxons, and as a result must turn to their 'wordhords' - the literary, historical, and cultural artefacts that have survived in various degrees of intactness - to learn about life in Anglo-Saxon England.

Undoing Aesthetics By Wolfgang Welsch
1997 | 224 Pages | ISBN: 0761955941 | PDF | 8 MB
`The aestheticization of everyday life′ has become a commonplace term, one which often merely scratches the surface of contemporary culture. This study illuminates the deeper dynamics of aesthetic reality from a philosophical perspective.Wolfgang Welsch, author of the influential Aesthetic Thinking, develops an important analysis of contemporary culture with philosophical bite. He examines global aestheticization phenomena, probes the relationship of aesthetics and ethics, and considers the broad relevance of aesthetics for contemporary thinking. He argues that modes of thought familiar from the aesthetic realm comprise fundamental paradigms for understanding today′s reality. The implications for specific and everyday issues are demonstrated in studies of architecture, advertising, the Internet and our perception of the life world.

Virgil Storr, "Understanding the Culture of Markets"
English | 2015 | ISBN: 1138940054 | EPUB | pages: 168 | 0.3 mb
How does culture impact economic life? Is culture like a ball and chain that actors must lug around as they pursue their material interests? Or, is culture like a tool-kit from which entrepreneurs can draw resources to aid them in their efforts? Or, is being immersed in a culture like wearing a pair of blinders? Or, is culture like wearing a pair of glasses with tinted lenses? Understanding the Culture of Markets explores how culture shapes economic activity and describes how social scientists (especially economists) should incorporate considerations of culture into their analysis.
