Book Description
The effort to go beyond given knowledge in different domains – artistic, scientific, political, metaphysical – is a characteristic driving force in modernism and the avant-gardes. Since the late 19th century, artists and writers have frequently investigated their medium and its limits, pursued political and religious aims, and explored hitherto unknown physical, social and conceptual spaces, often in ways that combine these forms of critical inquiry into one and provoke further theoretical and methodological innovations. The fifth volume of the EAM series casts light on the history and actuality of investigations, quests and explorations in the European avant-garde and modernism from the late 19th century to the present day. The authors seek to answer questions such as: How have modernism and the avant-garde appropriated scientific knowledge, religious dogmas and social conventions, pursuing their investigation beyond the limits of given knowledge and conceptions? How have modernism and avant-garde created new conceptual models or representations where other discourses have allegedly failed? In what ways do practises of investigation, quest or exploration shape artistic work or the formal and thematic structures of artworks?

Beyond the Lab and the Field
Author: Eike-Christian Heine
Publisher: University of Pittsburgh Press
ISBN: 0822987783
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
Beyond the Lab and the Field analyzes infrastructures as intense sites of knowledge production in the Americas, Europe, and Asia since the late nineteenth century. Moving beyond classical places known for yielding scientific knowledge, chapters in this volume explore how the construction and maintenance of canals, highways, dams, irrigation schemes, the oil industry, and logistic networks intersected with the creation of know-how and expertise. Referred to by the authors as “scientific bonanzas,” such intersections reveal opportunities for great wealth, but also distress and misfortune. This volume explores how innovative technologies provided research opportunities for scientists and engineers, as they relied on expertise to operate, which resulted in enormous profits for some. But, like the history of any gold rush, the history of infrastructure also reveals how technologies of modernity transformed nature, disrupting communities and destroying the local environment. Focusing not on the victory march of science and technology but on ambivalent change, contributors consider the role of infrastructures for ecology, geology, archaeology, soil science, engineering, ethnography, heritage, and polar exploration. Together, they also examine largely overlooked perspectives on modernity: the reliance of infrastructure on knowledge, and infrastructures as places and occasions that inspired a greater understanding of the natural world and the technologically made environment.

Beyond Expertise
Author: Alan Berrey
Publisher: Greenleaf Book Group
ISBN: 1632994224
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
Subject matter experts are the most valuable members of any organization—period. They establish vision, forge paths, create products, solve problems, sell customers, define policies, and cure ailments. Companies cannot prosper without them, since unlike non-experts, they provide the scaffolding upon which all other functions of the organization depend. They hold the jewels of knowledge in their organizations and are typically the top performers in their fields. But few company leaders ensure their experts are thoroughly developed as experts and often leave their effectiveness to chance. Alan Berrey addresses the challenges that confront experts and explores the techniques of top performers, including how they apply their expertise and maximize their power. Have you ever wondered how people judge your expertise and why it matters in your career? Beyond Expertise is about the craft of the expert—the artful application of expertise. It is about bringing your expertise out of the dark and maximizing your impact. It is about honing your influence with clients and boosting your authority with colleagues. In short, it is about becoming a compelling agent of change in any environment and with any audience. Alan Berrey is the founder of Expert Dig, Inc., a research and training venture committed to the advancement of corporate experts. With decades-long experience as a subject matter expert, he was CEO of multiple start-ups and vice president of business development at multiple technology companies. He has served clients in high-tech, manufacturing, financial services, telecommunications, transportation, health care, and government.

Professional Learning in Changing Contexts
Author: Tara Fenwick
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 113491394X
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
The knowledge and decisions of professionals influence all facets of modern life, a fact reflected by the increasing and distinct emphasis on public accountability for what professionals know and do. The nature of this accountability has been fundamentally transformed in response to a changing context of market pressures, network arrangements, declining discretion and public trust, and public managerialism. To tackle these challenges, an important body of research has emerged which concentrates on the material elements and processes of professional learning, and considers how these affect wider society. This volume presents specific pressures on professionals’ learning in different occupational contexts ranging from public school teaching to medicine and creative industry. These pressures are wrought by changing regulatory frameworks, changing modes of organising, changing demands and changing knowledge authorities in professional practice. The authors stress the importance of understanding these relations as sociomaterial webs through which the important moments of professional action and decisions emerge. This approach moves us beyond accepting ‘learning’ as an identifiable, individualist phenomenon by emphasising the multiplicities around professional practice ‘standards’ and ‘quality’, workarounds, responsibility, agency, and knowledge practices. As the chapters here demonstrate, sociomaterial perspectives raise new questions and methodologies that can highlight what is often invisible in the sometimes messy dynamics of professional learning, and point to new ways of promoting and supporting professional education. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Education and Work.

Understanding Language Acquisition
Author: Christina E. Erneling
Publisher: SUNY Press
ISBN: 9780791414620
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
How is language acquisition possible? How is it that humans, within a few years of birth, can speak and understand language, transcending both its limited experience and biological limitations? In this challenge to the narrow confines of psychology and philosophy, Christina Erneling argues that language acquisition results from the interaction between linguistic creativity inherent in language and a biological and social framework of learning. Erneling explains and critically analyzes the idea that language acquisition requires a meaningful language of thought, contrasting this with Wittgensteins ideas on language and learning. Erneling shows that the assumptions in J. Fodors development of Chomkys ideas into a theory of language of thought have significantly influenced developmental theories, yet fail to resolve the conflict between linguistic creativity and the necessity of a framework for learning. She argues that the later Wittgenstein was more concerned with the conditions of learning than is generally appreciated and shows how his remarks can be developed into an alternative approach to language learning. Understanding Language Acquisition has profound implications for evaluating hidden metatheoretical assumptions, as well as for empirical research and methods for teaching language and treating language disorders.
