Graczyk, Annette:
Das literarische Tableau zwischen Kunst und Wissenschaft.
|
Paderborn: Fink 2004. - 474 S. Kart. *neuwertig* Das Tableau ist ein interdisziplinäres Projekt, das in der gegenseitigen Ergänzung und Durchdringung von früher Naturwissenschaft, enzyklopädischer Wissensaufbereitung und Malerei im Zuge der sammelnd-inventarisierenden Bestrebungen seit der Frühen Neuzeit entsteht. Im Verlauf des 18. Jahrhunderts nuancieren und dynamisieren sich die Sichtweisen. Foucault hat die damit verbundenen epistemologischen Probleme untersucht; dieses Buch führt seinen Ansatz fort und überträgt ihn auf die Literaturwissenschaft. Während das literarische Gesellschaftstableau in Frankreich schon am Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts an der städtischen Vielfalt und Mobilität scheitert, entstehen in Deutschland bei Goethe und unter seinem Einfluss auch in der Wissenschaftsprosa Tableaus der Natur- und Kulturgeschichte. Mit A. von Humboldts Kosmos wird dieser Ansatz mit großer Anstrengung noch einmal vorgetragen, scheitert aber an der nunmehr erreichten Komplexität des Wissens. Dennoch wirkt das literarische Tableau sowohl als beschränkte, szenische Verdichtung wie auch als umfassendere Programmatik des Realismus und Naturalismus im 19. Jahrhundert weiter.

Cummins, Maureen
Current Events II / Titanic
|
New York:: Maureen Cummins/Women's Studio Workshop,, 2004.. Edition of 50. 15.25 x 23" with 48 pages. The project was produced at Women!s Studio Workshop in the fall of 2004. Twenty copies of the Wall Street Journal were overprinted with six silkscreen runs. Each copy contains 25 eyewitness accounts. On April 10, 1912 the greatest ship ever built, the Titanic, was launched on her maiden voyage. No cost had been spared in her construction or in the outfitting of her opulent compartments. For the millionaires, captains-of-industry and honeymoon couples who sailed with her, the Titanic promised the ultimate in luxury, status and social privilege. As she sailed across the Atlantic, the Titanic carried with her the dreams and aspirations of the civilized world. She was the very embodiment of the most cherished beliefs of her age ! a limitless faith in science, technological progress, and man!s ability to prevail over brute nature. In publicity material from the time, the Titanic was described as the greatest achievement of the Anglo-Saxon race. Her owners, The White Star Line, declared her to be "unsinkable."#11;#11;Five days later, on April 15, 1912 at 11:45 p.m., the Titanic grazed an iceberg in the North Atlantic and was fatally pierced through her starboard side. When she sank, two and a half hours later, 1,513 lives were lost with her. Her fate, and the succession of human errors that sealed it, shocked the world. The Titanic had not been equipped with a searchlight. The number of lifeboats on board was grossly inadequate. Her crew had never been drilled in how to lower and launch the boats. Her distress signals were seen by a nearby ship, but dismissed as being too improbable. The Titanic, a ship that had been built as a monument to man!s power and supremacy, came to be synonymous with human folly and mortality.#11;#11;Current Events II / Titanic retells the story of the Titanic!s last hours from the perspective of the ship!s survivors. Drawing upon original memoirs published shortly after the disaster, the artist weaves together a chorus of voices to create a narrative reminiscent of Greek tragedy. Like the mythic ship herself, each statement of disbelief and denial looms larger than life, reverberating through time and resonating with the reader!s own personal experience and political world. Current Events II / Titanic seeks to capture the greater significance of the Titanic disaster ! an event that haunts our consciousness not because it is a nightmare catastrophe from another time, but because it is our own waking reality.

The Hindu World emphasizes Hinduism's classical heritage and daily practice as well as contemporary approaches to Hindu scholarship. Exploring the enormous diversity of Hindu devotion whilst considering Hinduism's academic status as a category for analysis, the book achieves a distinctive creative balance between the beliefs and values of Hindus themselves, and scholarly 'outsider' perspectives.

Im Mittelpunkt der Textinterpretation steht die Frage nach dem Zusammenhang von Identität und Abgrenzung. Dabei zeigt sich, daß die identitätskonstituierende Funktion des Feindbildes relativiert werden muß. Anhand der bisher unbeachteten Rezeption der Kriegsliteratur läßt sich der besondere Stellenwert der Frontschriftsteller in der französischen Öffentlichkeit erklären, die hier erstmals vergleichend den zivilen Schriftstellern gegenübergestellt werden.

Franz Kafka - Versuch einer kulturphilosophischen Interpretation. (Schriften zur Kulturwissenschaft, 54).
|
Hamburg: Kovac 2004. - 184 S. Kart. *verlagsneu* Das Buch ordnet Franz Kafka in den Prozess der Geisteskultur ein, der mit Descartes begonnen und in Friedrich Nietzsche seinen Höhepunkt erreicht hat. Aber auch die Einflüsse Kants, Marx' und besonders Kierkegaards auf das Werk Kafkas werden herausgearbeitet. Der Kontext der neuzeitlichen Philosophie- und Kulturgeschichte ist maßgeblich für die Interpretationen der drei Romane (Der Verschollene, Der Prozess, Das Schloss) und der wichtigsten Erzählungen (Das Urteil, Die Verwandlung, In der Strafkolonie, Ein Landarzt, Schakale und Araber, Erstes Leid, Der Hungerkünstler, Josefine, die Sängerin oder Das Volk der Mäuse) sowie weiterer bekannter Prosaarbeiten (Auf der Galerie, Ein Bericht für eine Akademie, Elf Söhne). Die neuere semiotische Kafka-Interpretation wird kritisch hinterfragt, ohne dass dekonstruktivistische Verstehensansätze von vornherein verworfen werden.

Kingsley, Sean A
Shipwreck Archaeology Of The Holy Land: Processes And Parameters ( Integrates the fascinating topic of shipwreck archaeology into a broader economic and social Context )
|
United Kingdom: Duckworth Pub. New 2004. Paperback. FLAWLESS COPY, BRAND NEW, PRISTINE, NEVER OPENED - 144 pages; 5 1/3 x 8 1/2 inches -- This intriguing book is the first to explore the potential of shipwrecks discovered off the Holy Land to rewrite social and economic history. Ancient myths and modern misconceptions about Byzantine Palestine!s maritime compatibility are radically reconsidered by discussing cargoes in relation to wine, glass, cloth, and dye processing across the Holy Land and by plotting mass exports supplied as far as Britain and the Yemen. A new model for the province!s economy is assembled, in which middle class merchants and entrepreneurs replace the traditional image of oppressive State and Church domination. Shipwreck Archaeology of the Holy Land integrates archaeology, history, and early modern travelogues to argue that in isolation shipwrecks are of limited value and must be appreciated as cogs in far broader exchange mechanisms. It sets a new theoretical agenda for the thousands of shipwrecks continuing to be discovered beneath the Mediterranean Sea and is an invaluable source for students of everyday life in Late Antiquity. .

Nineteenth-century Printing Practices And The Iron Hand Press - Two Volumes.

Oak Knoll Press, New Castle / The British Library, London: 2004. - Softcover. Brand new books. Encyclopedic in its examination of printing techniques from the late-seventeenth-century through the nineteenth-century. Using selected readings from printers' manuals - beginning with Joseph Moxon's Mechanick Exercises, 1683, and culminating with John Southward's Practical Printing, 1900 - Gabriel Rummonds has distilled over two hundred years of printers' wisdom into this very readable and important work on iron handpresses and how they were used in the nineteenth century. This remarkable work represents over twenty years of research and scholarship by one of the most celebrated fine-press printers of the twentieth century. With almost five hundred rare and scarce wood cuts, engravings and photographs, and the most comprehensive annotated bibliography on the subject ever printed, this monumental, two-volume work stands alone in the annals of printing history.

Then & Now
|
Steidl Publishers, 2004. Fine. As issued with slipcase. SIGNED BY RUSCHA. 32.5 x 45 cm.; sewn bound; slipcase; black-and-white & color; edition size unknown; signed and unnumbered; offset-printed; "Between 1963 and 1978 Ed Ruscha produced eighteen small artists' books. Usually self-published in small print-runs, these publications have become seminal works in the history of conceptual art and the photography book. 'THEN & NOW' is the first artist book that Ruscha has made since 1978. One of the most famous of Ruscha's books from that early period is 'Every Building on the Sunset Strip--a famous stretch of real estate along Sunset Boulevard'--published in 1966. In July, 1973 he followed the same procedure when he photographed on Hollywood Boulevard. Loading a continuous strip of 30 feet of Ilford FP-4 black & white film into his Nikon F2 and then mounting it on a tripod in the bed of a pickup truck, he drove back and forth across the 12 miles of street shooting both the north and south sides of its entire length. The negatives were developed, contact sheets were made, and the materials placed in storage. Thirty years later, in 2003, a digital record of Hollywood Boulevard was created and it served as a reference guide for the traditional film/still documentary of 2004. For this shoot, the same type of camera equipment was used to re-photograph the street on 35mm color-negative film. ~The resulting material of both shoots--4, 500 black & white and 13, 000 color images--have been scanned and digitally composed into four panoramics of the complete 12 miles. In THEN & NOW the original 1973 North side view is shown along the top of the page and juxtaposed with its 2004 version. The panoramics face each other and they are aligned. The result is what Ruscha refers to as 'a piece of history...A very democratic, unemotional look at the world. ' Whilst it is a significant historical document which succinctly conflates and renders the passage of time, it is also a project which spans the career of one of the truly original artists of our time and bri

Gehry Draws
|
Minor rubbing. A scratch to rear cover. VG. Architectural Drawing MIT Press Cambridge [MA] 2004 orig.boards 25x15cm, 544 pp, An ink mark to top page-edge. "Everyone knows what the distinctive curves and lines of Frank Gehry's buildings look like. But where do they come from? Gehry has described drawing as his way of thinking aloud; Gehry Draws traces that thinking through 29 major projects, providing a privileged view of the creative practice of a master architect. More than 360 drawings (most of which are previously unpublished) and more than 400 additional illustrations chart the evolution of Gehry's images from marks on the page to three- dimensional models to completed buildings. Horst Bredekamp's introduction relates Gehry's drawing methods to the concept of disegno, as practised by Leonardo and Durer - not only the act of drawing and modelling, but also the dynamics of creative thinking. Gehry himself describes his method for Bredekamp in several explanatory sketches, and Bredekamp applies this to a study of drawings made for specific Gehry commissions. Virtual-reality filmmaker Rene Daadler and writer Mark Rappolt return this discussion to the twenty-first century, looking at, among other things, analog methods in the digital world of contemporary architecture. Gehry Draws is produced in collaboration with Frank Gehry and his team at Gehry Partners. Project synopses and commentary by Gehry and two of his Partners and Project Designers, Edwin Chan and Craig Webb, guide us through the full range of Gehry production, from the small details of window design to such large- scale undertakings as the Walt Disney Concert Hall and the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao.

Monte Carlo Statistical Methods
|
Springer-Verlag GmbH, September 2004. NEUBUCH! 2. A. 2. Auflage, 2004 - 645 Seiten 246 mm x 167 mm x 45 mm 132 Abb. Einband:Gebunden. PMonte Carlo statistical methods, particularly those based on Markov chains, are now an essential component of the standard set of techniques used by statisticians. This new edition has been revised towards a coherent and flowing coverage of these simulation techniques, with incorporation of the most recent developments in the field. In particular, the introductory coverage of random variable generation has been totally revised, with many concepts being unified through a fundamental theorem of simulation/PP/PPThere are five completely new chapters that cover Monte Carlo control, reversible jump, slice sampling, sequential Monte Carlo, and perfect sampling. There is a more in-depth coverage of Gibbs sampling, which is now contained in three consecutive chapters. The development of Gibbs sampling starts with slice sampling and its connection with the fundamental theorem of simulation, and builds up to two-stage Gibbs sampling and its theoretical properties. A third chapter covers the multi-stage Gibbs sampler and its variety of applications. Lastly, chapters from the previous edition have been revised towards easier access, with the examples getting more detailed coverage./PP/PPThis textbook is intended for a second year graduate course, but will also be useful to someone who either wants to apply simulation techniques for the resolution of practical problems or wishes to grasp the fundamental principles behind those methods. The authors do not assume familiarity with Monte Carlo techniques (such as random variable generation), with computer programming, or with any Markov chain theory (the necessary concepts are developed in Chapter 6). A solutions manual, which covers approximately 40% of the problems, is available for instructors who require the book for a course./PP/PPChristian P. Robert is Professor of Statistics in the Applied Mathematics Department at Universit aris Dauphine, France. He is also Head of the Statistics Laboratory at the Center for Research in Economics and Statistics (CREST) of the National Institute for Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE) in Paris, and Adjunct Professor at Ecole Polytechnique. He has written three other books and won the 2004 DeGroot Prize for The Bayesian Choice, Second Edition, Springer 2001. He also edited Discretization and MCMC Convergence Assessment, Springer 1998. He has served as associate editor for the Annals of Statistics, Statistical Science and the Journal of the American Statistical Association. He is a fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, and a winner of the Young Statistician Award of the Soci de Statistique de Paris in 1995./PP/PPGeorge Casella is Distinguished Professor and Chair, Department of Statistics, University of Florida. He has served as the Theory and Methods Editor of the Journal of the American Statistical Association and Executive Editor of Statistical Science. He has authored three other textbooks: Statistical Inference, Second Edition, 2001, with Roger L. Berger; Theory of Point Estimation, 1998, with Erich Lehmann; and Variance Components, 1992, with Shayle R. Searle and Charles E. McCulloch. He is a fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics and the American Statistical Association, and an elected fellow of the International Statistical Institute./P TOC:Introduction.- Random Variable Generation.- Monte Carlo Integration.- Markov Chains.- Monte Carlo Optimization.- The Metropolis-Hastings Algorithm.- The Gibbs Sampler.- Diagnosing Convergence.- Implementation in Missing Data Models.<
