Author: Catharine Abell
Publisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0191585114
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 256

Pictures are representations that depict their objects.

This volume of specially written essays by leading philosophers offers to set the agenda for the philosophy of depiction. It addresses a wide range of philosophical issues, concerning the nature and value of depiction, the role of our perceptual processes in interpreting pictures, and the role of depiction in everyday communication.

Affective Health and Masculinities in South Africa
Author: Hans Reihling
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 9780429328565
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
"Affective Health and Masculinities in South Africa explores how different masculinities modulate substance use, interpersonal violence, suicidality, and AIDS as well as recovery cross-culturally. With a focus on three male protagonists living in very distinct urban areas of Cape Town, this comparative ethnography shows that men's struggles to become invulnerable increase vulnerability. Through an analysis of masculinities as social assemblages, the study shows how affective health problems are tied to modern individualism rather than African 'tradition' that has become a clichâe in Eurocentric gender studies. Affective health is conceptualized as a balancing act between autonomy and connectivity that after colonialism and apartheid has become compromised through the imperative of self-reliance. This book provides a rare perspective on young men's vulnerability in everyday life that may affect the reader and spark discussion about how masculinities in relationships shape physical and psychological health. Moreover, it shows how men change in the face of distress in ways that may look different than global health and gender transformative approaches envision. Thick descriptions of actual events over the life course make the study accessible to both graduate and undergraduate students in the social sciences. Contributing to current debates on mental health and masculinity, the volume will be of interest to scholars from a number of disciplines including anthropology, gender studies, African studies, psychology and global health"--

The Garden of Eloquence
Author: Willard R. Espy
Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers
ISBN:
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
M. Jourdain, a character in a Moliere play, was amazed when told he had been speaking prose all his life. Willard Espy, who has been compared to Lewis Carroll for his light-hearted and fanciful treatment of words, points out that every day we use rhetoric just as unknowingly. In this latest book, Mr. Espy has created a preposterous wonderland, a garden such as never was; and in the words of Henry Peacham (who published the first Garden of Eloquence in 1577), he has "set therein such figurative Flowers, both of Grammar and Rhetoric, as do yield the sweet savor of Eloquence." Besides its flowers, Espy's Garden is inhabited by creatures large and small, lovable and quarrelsome, beautiful and ugly, each incarnating some figure of speech (or trope)-that magical device that extends the range of language to infinity. We are all familiar with such common tropes as metaphor, hyperbole, and alliteration, but did you know that when the minister says "let us gather together" he is employing pleonasmus? Or that "it was no small task" is an example of litotes? Was Eliza Doolittle aware, when she said she wanted to sit "absobloominlutely still," that she was teaching Henry Higgins about tmesis? Metaphor, hyperbole, alliteration, pleonasmus, litotes, tmesis-these are but a sprinkling of the unforgettable Garden folk. Espy explains more than 200 rhetorical devices, dozens of them in verses sung by the tropes themselves. Each verse is followed by a definition, a comment, and examples of the usage in history, literature, and everyday speech. Thirty of the figures come visually alive in Teresa Allen's charming and witty illustrations, and word games abound throughout the book.
