Manuscripts and Archives
Author: Alessandro Bausi
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110541572
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 481
Book Description
Archives are considered to be collections of administrative, legal, commercial and other records or the actual place where they are located. They have become ubiquitous in the modern world, but emerged not much later than the invention of writing. Following Foucault, who first used the word archive in a metaphorical sense as "the general system of the formation and transformation of statements" in his "Archaeology of Knowledge" (1969), postmodern theorists have tried to exploit the potential of this concept and initiated the "archival turn". In recent years, however, archives have attracted the attention of anthropologists and historians of different denominations regarding them as historical objects and "grounding" them again in real institutions. The papers in this volume explore the complex topic of the archive in a historical, systematic and comparative context and view it in the broader context of manuscript cultures by addressing questions like how, by whom and for which purpose were archival records produced, and if they differ from literary manuscripts regarding materials, formats, and producers (scribes).

The Monopolists
Author: Mary Pilon
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1620405717
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
The Monopolists reveals the unknown story of how Monopoly came into existence, the reinvention of its history by Parker Brothers and multiple media outlets, the lost female originator of the game, and one man's lifelong obsession to tell the true story about the game's questionable origins. Most think it was invented by an unemployed Pennsylvanian who sold his game to Parker Brothers during the Great Depression in 1935 and lived happily--and richly--ever after. That story, however, is not exactly true. Ralph Anspach, a professor fighting to sell his Anti-Monopoly board game decades later, unearthed the real story, which traces back to Abraham Lincoln, the Quakers, and a forgotten feminist named Lizzie Magie who invented her nearly identical Landlord's Game more than thirty years before Parker Brothers sold their version of Monopoly. Her game--underpinned by morals that were the exact opposite of what Monopoly represents today--was embraced by a constellation of left-wingers from the Progressive Era through the Great Depression, including members of Franklin Roosevelt's famed Brain Trust. A gripping social history of corporate greed that illuminates the cutthroat nature of American business over the last century, The Monopolists reads like the best detective fiction, told through Monopoly's real-life winners and losers.

Elementary Treatise on Practical Magic
Author: (Gérard Encausse) Papus
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781947907010
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 510
Book Description
Papus' 1893 book on Magic was the first to bring together all the Grimoires into one book, and provide a clear path of study to perform the Solomonic Rites. He brings his scientific mind to argue that experimentation in the astral is just as important as scientific inquiry, as he takes us on a fascinating journey through late 19th Century France.
