Book Description
When One Person Dies The Whole World Is Over is a quietly enthralling and keenly intimate work about the search for meaning in the everyday, and what it might mean to belong. A record of a year of a life, When One Person Dies The Whole World Is Over is an attempt to pin down time, to capture the most beautiful and fleeting moments that we tend to rush past. This is the story of a person and those that surround her. It’s about ageing, love, and loss, and how we might try to balance work and family and art in this confusing modern world. Funny, sad, and perfectly magnetic, When One Person Dies The Whole World Is Over draws you in deep; before you know it you’re caring intensely about the lives into which we are given some precious glimpses.

For Derrida
Author: J. Hillis Miller
Publisher: Fordham Univ Press
ISBN: 082323035X
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
This book—the culmination of forty years of friendship between J. Hillis Miller and Jacques Derrida, during which Miller also closely followed all Derrida’s writings and seminars—is “for Derrida” in two senses. It is “for him,” dedicated to his memory. The chapters also speak, in acts of reading, as advocates for Derrida’s work. They focus especially on Derrida’s late work, including passages from the last, as yet unpublished, seminars. The chapters are “partial to Derrida,” on his side, taking his part, gratefully submitting themselves to the demand made by Derrida’s writings to be read—slowly, carefully, faithfully, with close attention to semantic detail. The chapters do not progress forward to tell a sequential story. They are, rather, a series of perspectives on the heterogeneity of Derrida’s work, or forays into that heterogeneity. The chief goal has been, to borrow a phrase from Wallace Stevens, “plainly to propound” what Derrida says. The book aims, above all, to render Derrida’s writings justice. It should be remembered, however, that, according to Derrida himself, every rendering of justice is also a transformative interpretation. A book like this one is not a substitute for reading Derrida for oneself. It is to be hoped that it will encourage readers to do just that.

Post-Mortem Existence Within the Complex Systems Self-Organization Theory Framework and in Traditional Cultures
Author: Kovalyov, Yury N.
Publisher: IGI Global
ISBN:
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
Exploring ideas of post-mortem existence through the lenses of complex systems and traditional cultural perspectives offers a deeper understanding about life, death, and the existence beyond. Self-organization theory provides a framework for examining how cultural systems evolve and adapt new concepts of post-mortem states, where individual consciousness and collective memory continue to evolve. Traditional cultures provide diverse and deep-rooted views on the afterlife, often envisioning a continued existence, spiritual transformation, or idea perpetuated by moral beliefs. Further research on integrating these perspectives is necessary to gain a more nuanced approach to post-mortem existence understanding and appreciation for evolving systems and cultural constructs. Post-Mortem Existence Within the Complex Systems Self-Organization Theory Framework and in Traditional Cultures explores the ideals of post-mortem existences in traditional cultures using a complex systems self-organization theory framework. Religious structures and cultural responses to death are outlined while examining various models and scenarios. This book covers topics such as biology, philosophy, and anthropology, and is a useful resource for scientists, biologists, medical professionals, philosophers, anthropologists, academicians, and researchers.

Learning at the Museum Frontiers
Author: Viv Golding
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317106652
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
In Learning at the Museum Frontiers, Viv Golding argues that the museum has the potential to function as a frontier - a zone where learning is created, new identities are forged and new connections made between disparate groups and their own histories. She draws on a range of theoretical perspectives including Gadamer's philosophical hermeneutics, Foucauldian discourse on space and power, and postcolonial and Black feminist theory, as well as her own professional experience in museum education over a ten-year period, applying these ideas to a wide range of museum contexts. The book offers an important theoretical and empirical contribution to the debate on the value of museums and what they can contribute to society. The author reveals the radical potential for museums to tackle injustice and social exclusion, challenge racism, enhance knowledge and promote truth.
