Tattoo Histories Transcultural Perspectives on the Narratives, Practices, and Representations of Tattooing【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><em>Tattoo Histories</em>is an edited volume which analyses and discusses the relevance of tattooing in the socio-cultural construction of bodies, boundaries, and identities, among both individuals and groups. Its interdisciplinary approach facilitates historical as well as contemporary perspectives. Rather than presenting a universal, essentialized history of tattooing, the volume’s objective is to focus on the entangled and transcultural histories, narratives, and practices related to tattoos. Contributions stem from various fields, including Archaeology, Art History, Classics, History, Linguistics, Media and Literary Studies, Social and Cultural Anthropology, and Sociology. They advance the current endeavour on the part of tattoo scholars to challenge Eurocentric and North American biases prevalent in much of tattoo research, by including various analyses based in locations such as Malaysia, Israel, East Africa, and India. The thematic focus is on the transformative capacity of tattoos and tattooing, with regard to the social construction of bodies and subjectivity; the (re-)creation of social relationships through the definition of (non-)tattooed others; the formation and consolidation of group identities, traditions, and authenticity; and the conceptualization of art and its relevance to tattoo artist?tattooee relations.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Mind, Body, and Morality New Perspectives on Descartes and Spinoza【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The turn of the millennium has been marked by new developments in the study of early modern philosophy. In particular, the philosophy of Ren? Descartes has been reinterpreted in a number of important and exciting ways, specifically concerning his work on the mind-body union, the connection between objective and formal reality, and his status as a moral philosopher. These fresh interpretations have coincided with a renewed interest in overlooked parts of the Cartesian corpus and a sustained focus on the similarities between Descartes’ thought and the philosophy of Baruch Spinoza.</p> <p>Mind, Body, and Moralityconsists of fifteen chapters written by scholars who have contributed significantly to the new turn in Descartes and Spinoza scholarship. The volume is divided into three parts. The first group of chapters examines different metaphysical and epistemological problems raised by the Cartesian mind-body union. Part II investigates Descartes’ and Spinoza’s understanding of the relations between ideas, knowledge, and reality. Special emphasis is put on Spinoza’s conception of the relation between activity and passivity. Finally, the last part explores different aspects of Descartes’ moral philosophy, connecting his views to important predecessors, Augustine and Abelard, and comparing them to Spinoza.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Edgar Poe and his Critics Enriched edition. Unraveling Literary Perspectives on the American Master of Mystery【電子書籍】[ Sarah Helen Whitman ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "Edgar Poe and His Critics," Sarah Helen Whitman delves into the complex web of critiques surrounding the enigmatic figure of Edgar Allan Poe. Through a blend of personal narrative and rigorous literary analysis, Whitman artfully navigates the tumultuous artistic landscape of the 19th century, addressing both lauded and disparaged aspects of Poe's oeuvre. Drawing from her keen insights and eloquent prose, Whitman situates Poe within the broader currents of Romanticism and the American literary tradition, examining the dichotomy of admiration and disdain that Poe often evoked from his contemporaries. Her insightful exploration invites readers to reconsider the value of Poe's contributions to literature against the backdrop of criticism he received. Sarah Helen Whitman, a notable poet and intellectual in her own right, was not only a contemporary of Poe but also an intimate and passionate admirer. Her close relationship with Poe, coupled with her own literary pursuits, provided her a unique perspective on the man behind the myths. A figure deeply entrenched in the Romantic and transcendental movements, Whitman's background as a poet and critic shaped her understanding of the fragile interplay between artistic genius and societal perception. This book is essential for readers and scholars who wish to understand the full scope of Edgar Allan Poe's literary legacy. Whitman's nuanced analysis not only illuminates Poe's work but also invites reflection on the deeper relationship between an author and their critics.

Counterculture Kaleidoscope Musical and Cultural Perspectives on Late Sixties San Francisco【電子書籍】[ Nadya Zimmerman ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Forty years after the fact, 1960s counterculture---personified by hippies, protest, and the Summer of Love---basks in a nostalgic glow in the popular imagination as a turning point in modern American history and the end of the age of innocence. Yet, while the era has come to be synonymous with rebellion and opposition, its truth is much more complex.</p> <p>In a bold reconsideration of the late sixties San Francisco counterculture movement, <em>Counterculture Kaleidoscope</em> takes a close look at the cultural and musical practices of that era. Addressing the conventional wisdom that the movement was grounded in rebellion and opposition, the book exposes two myths: first, that the counterculture was an organized social and political movement of progressives with a shared agenda who opposed the mainstream (dubbed "hippies"); and second, that the counterculture was an innocent entity hijacked by commercialism and transformed over time into a vehicle of so-called "hip consumerism."</p> <p>Seeking an alternative to the now common narrative, Nadya Zimmerman examines primary source material including music, artwork, popular literature, personal narratives, and firsthand historical accounts. She reveals that the San Francisco counterculture wasn't interested in commitments to causes and made no association with divisive issues---that it embraced everything in general and nothing in particular.</p> <p>"Astute and accessible, <em>Counterculture Kaleidoscope</em> provides thought-provoking insights into the historical, cultural and social context of the San Francisco counter-culture and its music scene, including discussions of Vietnam and student protest, the Haight-Ashbury Diggers, the Grateful Dead, Led Zeppelin, Altamont, and Charlie Manson. A must for students and scholars of socio-musical activity and for all of us to whom music matters."<br /> ---Sheila Whiteley, author of <em>The Space Between the Notes: Rock and the Counter-Culture</em> and <em>Too Much Too Young: Popular Music, Age and Gender</em></p> <p>"The hippie counterculture has never garnered the scholarly attention accorded the new left and the black freedom struggle. Overviews of the period ritualistically mention it as part and parcel of that apparently incandescent era---the Sixties---but rarely capture its distinctiveness. <em>Counterculture Kaleidoscope</em> is a timely and provocative intervention in Sixties scholarship that significantly deepens our understanding of this important but understudied phenomenon."<br /> ーAlice Echols, Associate Professor, University of Southern California, and author of <em>Scars of Sweet Paradise: The Life and Times of Janis Joplin</em></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Biolinguistic Enterprise New Perspectives on the Evolution and Nature of the Human Language Faculty【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This book, by leading scholars, represents some of the main work in progress in biolinguistics. It offers fresh perspectives on language evolution and variation, new developments in theoretical linguistics, and insights on the relations between variation in language and variation in biology. The authors address the Darwinian questions on the origin and evolution of language from a minimalist perspective, and provide elegant solutions to the evolutionary gap between human language and communication in all other organisms. They consider language variation in the context of current biological approaches to species diversity - the 'evo-devo revolution' - which bring to light deep homologies between organisms. In dispensing with the classical notion of syntactic parameters, the authors argue that language variation, like biodiversity, is the result of experience and thus not a part of the language faculty in the narrow sense. They also examine the nature of this core language faculty, the primary categories with which it is concerned, the operations it performs, the syntactic constraints it poses on semantic interpretation and the role of phases in bridging the gap between brain and syntax. Written in language accessible to a wide audience, <em>The Biolinguistic Enterprise</em> will appeal to scholars and students of linguistics, cognitive science, biology, and natural language processing.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The New Theology Exploring Modern Perspectives on Faith and Spirituality【電子書籍】[ R. J. Campbell ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>R. J. Campbell's "The New Theology" emerges as a pivotal work that challenges traditional dogmas by advocating for a more progressive understanding of spirituality within the context of early 20th-century religious thought. Written in a lyrical yet accessible style, Campbell's prose weaves together theological inquiry, personal reflection, and the zeitgeist of an era ripe for reexamination of faith. The book provides a critical exploration of the intersections between religion, science, and morality, aligning with contemporary movements that sought to reconcile belief with modern knowledge while addressing the disillusionment brought on by World War I. R. J. Campbell, a notable figure in the early Liberal Christian movement, was deeply influenced by Socratic questioning and the philosophical undercurrents of his time. His theological explorations reflect his background as a minister and scholar, dedicated to expanding the horizons of faith beyond dogmatic restrictions. Campbell's work encapsulates his conviction that spirituality must evolve in response to human experiences and societal changes, making this book a vital reference for understanding the trajectory of modern theological discourse. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in contemporary theology, philosophy, or the historical shifts within Christianity. Campbell's thought-provoking arguments and thoughtful reflections serve as an invitation for individuals to engage critically with their own beliefs, encouraging a transformative journey toward a more inclusive and thoughtful spirituality.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Reality of the Social World Medieval, Early Modern, and Contemporary Perspectives on Social Ontology【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This book offers a collection of contributions on medieval, early modern, and contemporary perspectives on social ontology.</p> <p>Since the 1990s, social ontology has emerged as a vibrant research area in contemporary analytical philosophy. Questions concerning the nature and properties of social groups, institutions, facts, and objects like money and marriage, have been thoroughly discussed. However, the historical perspective has been largely neglected. One of the central aims of this volume is to show that relevant views on social ontology can be found in medieval and early modern philosophy (ca. 1200-1700 C.E.), when, for example, the ontological status of money, law, and the sacraments was hotly debated. We see, furthermore, diverging positions between Aristotelian-inspired authors, who resort to a more naturalistic view of the emergence of the social realm, and authors like Olivi and Ockham, who emphasize the role of human free will and contractualist agreements.</p> <p>This book is the very first to address historical and contemporary social ontologies. Both historians of philosophy and philosophers will benefit from this juxtaposition, which fosters a better understanding of historical positions and approaches by using today’s conceptual and analytical tools, and allows the contemporary debate to gain new perspectives by confronting its own medieval and early modern history.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

An Essay Towards a New Theory of Vision Challenging Perspectives on Visual Perception and Reality【電子書籍】[ George Berkeley ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "An Essay Towards a New Theory of Vision," George Berkeley delves into the intricate relationship between perception and reality, challenging established notions of vision and its dependence on physical objects. Employing a combination of empirical observation and philosophical argumentation, Berkeley articulates his innovative theory that our understanding of distance, size, and shape is fundamentally shaped by visual experience rather than a direct correspondence to external forms. This work is notable for its clarity and precision, employing a form of writing that balances rigorous analysis with accessibility, situating Berkeley within the broader context of early modern philosophy, particularly in relation to empiricism and metaphysics. George Berkeley, an Irish philosopher and bishop, was a pioneering figure in the development of idealism and is often linked to the early stages of modern philosophy. His interest in the nature of perception can be traced back to a lifelong engagement with questions regarding reality and its representation. Throughout his career, Berkeley remained steadfast in his belief that vision is a constructive process, influenced by the observer's experience rather than mere sensory input, illuminating the philosophical debates of his time regarding the existence of the material world. Readers interested in the intersection of philosophy and perception will find Berkeley's work both thought-provoking and essential. This essay invites readers to reconsider their understanding of sight and reality, ultimately encouraging a deeper inquiry into the nature of human experience. Berkeley'??s arguments resonate with contemporary discussions in philosophy and cognitive science, making this book a timeless resource for anyone seeking to explore the complexities of vision.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

God, the Good, and Utilitarianism Perspectives on Peter Singer【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Is ethics about happiness? Aristotle thought so and for centuries Christians agreed, until utilitarianism raised worries about where this would lead. In this volume, Peter Singer, leading utilitarian philosopher and controversial defender of infanticide and euthanasia, addresses this question in conversation with Christian ethicists and secular utilitarians. Their engagement reveals surprising points of agreement and difference on questions of moral theory, the history of ethics, and current issues such as climate change, abortion, poverty and animal rights. The volume explores the advantages and pitfalls of basing morality on happiness; if ethics is teleological, is its proper aim the subjective satisfaction of preferences? Or is human flourishing found in objective goods: friendship, intellectual curiosity, meaningful labour? This volume provides a timely review of how utilitarians and Christians conceive of the good, and will be of great interest to those studying religious ethics, philosophy of religion and applied ethics.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Mobilities: New Perspectives on Transport and Society【電子書籍】[ John Urry ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Bringing together the leading authors currently working at the intersection of social science and transport science, this volume provides a companion to the well-established and extensive international Transport and Society series. Each chapter, and the volume as a whole, offers closer and richer consideration of the issues, practices and structures of multiple mobilities which shape the current world but which have typically been overlooked or minimised. What this approach seeks to do is not only draw attention to many new areas of research and investigation relating to mobile lives, but also to point to new theories and methods by which such lives have to be researched and examined. Such new theories and methods are relevant both to rethinking 'transport' studies as such but are also recasting 'societal' studies as 'transport' so that it comes out of the ghetto and enters mainstream social science.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Access to Justice and Legal Aid Comparative Perspectives on Unmet Legal Need【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This book considers how access to justice is affected by restrictions to legal aid budgets and increasingly prescriptive service guidelines. As common law jurisdictions, England and Wales and Australia, share similar ideals, policies and practices, but they differ in aspects of their legal and political culture, in the nature of the communities they serve and in their approaches to providing access to justice. These jurisdictions thus provide us with different perspectives on what constitutes justice and how we might seek to overcome the burgeoning crisis in unmet legal need.<br /> The book fills an important gap in existing scholarship as the first to bring together new empirical and theoretical knowledge examining different responses to legal aid crises both in the domestic and comparative contexts, across criminal, civil and family law. It achieves this by examining the broader social, political, legal, health and welfare impacts of legal aid cuts and prescriptive service guidelines. Across both jurisdictions, this work suggests that it is the most vulnerable groups who lose out in the way the law now operates in the twenty-first century. This book is essential reading for academics, students, practitioners and policymakers interested in criminal and civil justice, access to justice, the provision of legal assistance and legal aid.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Neuromorphic Engineering The Scientist’s, Algorithms Designer’s and Computer Architect’s Perspectives on Brain-Inspired Computing【電子書籍】[ Elishai Ezra Tsur ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The brain is not a glorified digital computer. It does not store information in registers, and it does not mathematically transform mental representations to establish perception or behavior. The brain cannot be downloaded to a computer to provide immortality, nor can it destroy the world by having its emerged consciousness traveling in cyberspace. However, studying the brain's core computation architecture can inspire scientists, computer architects, and algorithm designers to think fundamentally differently about their craft.</p> <p>Neuromorphic engineers have the ultimate goal of realizing machines with some aspects of cognitive intelligence. They aspire to design computing architectures that could surpass existing digital von Neumann-based computing architectures' performance. In that sense, brain research bears the promise of a new computing paradigm. As part of a complete cognitive hardware and software ecosystem, neuromorphic engineering opens new frontiers for neuro-robotics, artificial intelligence, and supercomputing applications.</p> <p>The book presents neuromorphic engineering from three perspectives: the scientist, the computer architect, and the algorithm designer. It zooms in and out of the different disciplines, allowing readers with diverse backgrounds to understand and appreciate the field. Overall, the book covers the basics of neuronal modeling, neuromorphic circuits, neural architectures, event-based communication, and the neural engineering framework.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

New Perspectives on Industrial Organization With Contributions from Behavioral Economics and Game Theory【電子書籍】[ Victor J. Tremblay ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This book covers the main topics that students need to learn in a course on Industrial Organization. It reviews the classic models and important empirical evidence related to the field. However, it will differ from prior textbooks in two ways. First, this book incorporates contributions from behavioral economics and neuroeconomics, providing the reader with a richer understanding of consumer preferences and the motivation for many of the business practices we see today. The book discusses how firms exploit consumers who are prone to making mistakes and who suffer from cognitive dissonance, attention lapses, and bounded rationality, for example and will help explain why firms invest in persuasive advertising, offer 30-day free trials, offer money-back guarantees, and engage in other observed phenomena that cannot be explained by the traditional approaches to industrial organization.</p> <p>A second difference is that this book achieves a balance between textbooks that emphasize formal modeling and those that emphasize the history of the field, empirical evidence, case studies, and policy analysis. This text puts more emphasis on the micro-foundations (i.e., consumer and producer theory), classic game theoretic models, and recent contributions from behavioral economics that are pertinent to industrial organization. Each topic will begin with a discussion of relevant theory and models and will also include a discussion of concrete examples, empirical evidence, and evidence from case studies. This will provide students with a deeper understanding of firm and consumer behavior, of the factors that influence market structure and economic performance, and of policy issues involving imperfectly competitive markets. The book is intended to be a textbook for graduate students, MBAs and upper-level undergraduates and will use examples, graphical analysis, algebra, and simple calculus to explain important ideas and theories in industrialorganization.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Embedded within the existentialist tradition, the text grapples with the limitations of logic, asserting that human experience often transcends reason, thus opening the door to the paradoxes inherent in life's uncertainties. Lev Shestov, a prominent Russian philosopher and one of the key figures in the existentialist movement, drew from his rich cultural background and personal experiences to craft this profound work. His own struggles with faith, combined with his examination of figures like Dostoevsky and Kierkegaard, deeply influenced his philosophical outlook. Shestov's writings reveal a passion for exploring the depths of human despair and the quest for meaning amidst chaos, positioning him as a critical thinker of his time. "All Things are Possible" is a compelling read for anyone grappling with the limitations of rationality and seeking deeper existential understanding. Shestov's insights challenge readers to embrace the complexities of life and to recognize that the unexplainable may hold the key to unlocking true freedom.

Media and Suicide International Perspectives on Research, Theory, and Policy【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Somewhere in the world, in the next forty seconds, a person is going to commit suicide. Globally, suicides account for 50 percent of all violent deaths among men and 71 percent for women. Despite suicide prevention programs, therapy, and pharmacological treatments, the suicide rate is either increasing or remaining high around the world.</p> <p>Media and Suicide holds traditional and emergent media accountable for influencing an individual’s decision to commit suicide. Global experts present research, historical analysis, theoretical disputes (including discussion on the Werther and Papageno effects), and policy regarding the media’s impact on suicide. They answer questions about the effects of different types of media and storytelling, show how the impact of social media can be diminished, discuss internet bullying, mass-shootings and mass-suicides, show the effects of recovery stories, and much more.</p> <p>The editors also present examples of suicide policy in the United States, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Hong Kong on how to best communicate reporting guidelines to decrease the copycat effect, especially in less developed nations where most of the world’s nearly one million suicides occur each year. Although there is much work to be done to prevent media-influenced suicide, this innovative volume will contribute a large piece to this complex puzzle.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Theism or Atheism: The Great Alternative Exploring the Age-Old Debate: Philosophy and Perspectives on Belief【電子書籍】[ Chapman Cohen ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "Theism or Atheism: The Great Alternative," Chapman Cohen navigates the philosophical terrain separating belief from skepticism, presenting a rigorous critique of theism while defending the merits of atheism. Written in a clear, incisive style, Cohen employs logical reasoning and empirical evidence to challenge traditional religious doctrines, making this work both accessible and intellectually stimulating. The book situates itself within the broader context of early 20th-century secular thought, engaging with arguments from prominent contemporaries while advocating for a worldview grounded in human experience rather than divine intervention. Chapman Cohen, a prominent figure in the British freethought movement, was deeply influenced by his own intellectual journey away from religious dogma. His experiences as a secularist and a lecturer on philosophy inspired him to confront the age-old dilemmas surrounding faith and reason. Cohen's background in rationalist discourse positions him as an authoritative voice in the ongoing debate about the role of religion in modern society, providing readers with critical insights born from personal conviction and extensive scholarship. This thought-provoking book is highly recommended for anyone grappling with existential questions about the nature of belief. Cohen'??s articulate exposition makes it suitable for both seasoned philosophers and individuals seeking clarity in their own understanding of theism and atheism. "Theism or Atheism" serves not only as an intellectual challenge but as a compelling invitation to reflect on one's beliefs in the face of modernity.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Perspectives On Supplier Innovation: Theories, Concepts And Empirical Insights On Open Innovation And The Integration Of Suppliers【電子書籍】[ Alexander Brem ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Hardly anybody outside a company knows its products and processes better than its suppliers. Research confirms that intensive integration of suppliers in the value creation process positively influences the success of the company, particularly in highly competitive industries. This is a result of the progressing reduction in the depth of value creation of manufacturers and the increasing transfer of know-how towards suppliers. In multilevel business-to-business relationships, suppliers often have the best or the only access and comprehensive knowledge about the end users. Therefore, suppliers determine the scope of possible innovations, which most companies do not actively use.This unique volume provides a comprehensive overview of theories, concepts and especially empirical results on open innovation and the integration of suppliers. For this, authors from all over the world present their latest research results offering fascinating insights into collaborative approaches with suppliers.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
