Abstract

A well-rounded education in the 21st century requires not just verbal and mathematical proficiency, but also the ability to interpret, critique, create, and use visual communication on sophisticated levels. In today's visual world, it is critically important to hold an appreciation for the profound effects imagery has on individuals and the communities in which they live. Visual Communication focuses on cultivating visual and media literacy from both consumption and production points of view and introduces students to the application of intuitive intelligence to a visual

Abstract

Le constat est indéniable : les images sont partout. Elles envahissent toutes les sphères de la vie sociale. Faut-il voir dans ce fait l'expression de l'idée de progrès? Quelles sont les représentations par l'image médiatisée que les sociétés occidentales dites démocratiques et industrielles se sont données d'elles-mêmes? Ces questions surgissent dès lors que l'on retrace l'histoire de l'image depuis la naissance de la photographie jusqu'à la révolution numérique dont Internet est le fer de lance. Cet ouvrage est une étude approfondie des images qui marquent nos sociétés occidentales depuis la Révolution industrielle. L'auteur identifie non seulement les rôles assignés aux images mais aborde plus largement la question de la mise-en-média et de la culture de masse. En s'appuyant de façon prépondérante sur la photographie documentaire, et, tout en suivant son évolution dans le temps, l'ouvrage pose clairement la question de l'idéologie derrière l'image : propagande en démocratie, guerres médiatisées et représentations de la guerre, espace public et chronique médiatique. Abondamment illustré, voici un livre de référence incontournable pour ceux et celles qui œuvrent dans les domaines de la communication et des médias mais aussi, plus largement, pour toute personne qui s'intéresse aux enjeux des images médiatisées à l'heure de la mondialisation.

Abstract

The fact that the graphic substance of writing oscillates between text and image is a potential which writing carries in itself from the very beginning. Every graphic trace on the manuscript page relates to the conventions of time in a way that is determined by the scribe. This becomes particularly tangible when the conventions are deliberately and systematically broken and replaced by new ones on the basis of a concrete concept. By introducing the humanistic minuscule, a script developed on the basis of the historical model of the Carolingian minuscule, Poggio Bracciolini and his mentors and friends Coluccio Salutati and Niccolò Niccoli, created philologically revised copies of the texts of classical authors in what they called littera antiqua, the new old script. This paper wants to show how the conscious incorporation of elements of historical manuscripts and their transformation into a specifically humanistic product makes use of the graphical potential of script and mise-en-page in order to translate a humanistic discourse into SchriftBild.

Abstract

Long description: Die vorliegende Arbeit Dynamik des Verstehens -- Eine phänomenologische Untersuchung der Dynamik bildschematischer Strukturen beschäftigt sich mit dem zeitlichen Verlauf von Verstehensprozessen im Rahmen der philosophischen Strömung, die als Verkörperungsphilosophie (Embodiment) bekannt wurde. Einerseits wird im Rahmen dieser philosophischen Strömung, der Begriff Bildschema (image schema) dargestellt, näher untersucht und kritisch hinterfragt. Andererseits werden detaillierte Analysen zur zeitlichen Entfaltung des Verstehens entwickelt, die in näheren Betrachtungen auf diesen Begriff Bildschema hin beleuchtet werden. Dabei werden die vier wesentlichen Bereiche des menschlichen Verstehens - leibliche Interaktion, Wahrnehmung, Denken und Sprache - in einzelnen Kapiteln sowohl allgemein als auch in Form einer Zuspitzung auf den Begriff Bildschema phänomenologisch analysiert. Die Arbeit verbindet daher zeitphilosophische Ergebnisse der Phänomenologie und des Pragmatismus mit Überlegungen aus der Verkörperungsphilosophie, um den Begriff Dynamik verständlich zu machen.

Abstract

Real places and events are constructed and used to symbolize abstract formulations of power and authority in politics, corporate practice, the arts, religion, and community. By analyzing the aesthetics of public space in contexts both mundane and remarkable, the contributors examine the social relationship between public and private activities that impart meaning to groups of people beyond their individual or local circumstances. From a range of perspectives-anthropological, sociological, and socio-cultural-the contributors discuss road-making in Peru, mass housing in Britain, an unsettling

Abstract

Soaking up the rays forges a new path for exploring Britain’s fickle love of the light by investigating the beginnings of light therapy in the country, from c.1890–1940. Despite rapidly becoming a leading treatment for tuberculosis, rickets and other infections and skin diseases, light therapy was a contentious medical practice. Bodily exposure to light, whether for therapeutic or aesthetic ends, persists as a contested subject to this day: recommended to counter psoriasis and other skin conditions as well as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and depression; closely linked to notions of beauty, happiness and well-being, fuelling tourism to sunny locales abroad and the tanning industry at home; and yet with repeated health warnings that it is a dangerous carcinogen. By analysing archival photographs, illustrated medical texts, advertisements, lamps, and goggles and their visual representation of how light acted upon the body, Woloshyn assesses their complicated contribution to the founding of light therapy. Soaking up the rays will appeal to those intrigued by medicine’s visual culture, especially academics and students of the histories of art and visual culture, material cultures, medicine, science and technology, and popular culture.

Abstract

"Representing Jewish Thought originated in the conference, convened in honour of Professor Ada Rapoport-Albert, on the theme of visual representations of Jewish thought from antiquity to the early modern period. The volume encompasses essays on various modes and media of transmitting and re/presenting thought, pertinent to Jewish past and present. It explores several approaches to the study of the transmission of ideas in historical sources, zooming in on textual and visual hermeneutics to material and textual culture to performative arts. The volume has brought together scholars from different subfields of Jewish Studies, covering thousands of years of Jewish history, who invite further scholarly reflection on the expression, transmission, and organisation of knowledge in Jewish contexts"--
