In den WarenkorbPaperback. Zustand: New. Since culture, the media and the arts deal with the perception and the processing of catastrophe, what kind of social knowledge does this process produce and how does it contribute to the sustainable development of societies?The book seeks to understand how societies and cultures deal with disaster and the rhetorical means they resort to in order to represent it. It is situated on the cusp between the response to natural catastrophe, the renewed awareness of human vulnerability in the face of environmental hazard and irresponsible policies and the social role of traditional knowledge and humanistic ideas for the preservation of human communities. It aims to be diverse, in disciplinary allegiance and cultural situation, and relevant, by bringing together articles by well-known scholars and policy makers to jointly discuss the possibilities of reframing hazard for the future, so that one may learn from restored behavior instead of repeating the mistakes of the past.

In den WarenkorbPaperback. Zustand: New. The book discusses how culture simultaneously shapes and is shaped by the economy. Over the past few years, as the world has staggered from one financial crisis to another, the neat separation of economics and culture has been consistently challenged. To understand the current state of affairs, it has become increasingly necessary to understand the conjuncture that rules the production of value in economic systems, how money shapes social relations and affects discursive practices. By discussing the vocabulary, by understanding the rhetoric and interpreting the narratives, be it of crisis, austerity, growth, welfare, neo-liberalism or socialism, new modes of imaging the economic system may be made possible. The book is structured in four chapters dealing with theory and conjuncture ("Philosophies of Money"), with the visual arts and investment ("The Arts and Finance"), with literary representation and narrativity ("Literature and Money Matters") and with the cognitive impact of fiduciary representation ("Cognitive Moneyscapes"). This collection analyses the process whereby a material icon invested with the symbolical power to rule social exchange becomes an explanatory narrative determining the way societies produce meaning.

Zustand: Wie Neu. Zustandsbeschreibung: leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear. Water Writing and Modernity. Edited by Isabel Capeloa Gil. This volume brings together the results of an international conference held in Cascais, Portugal in November 2004, which stemmed from the research project on maritime culture "Connecting Waters: Cultural Hybridity and Dialogue in Maritime Interaction", developed at the Centre for Communication and Culture of the Catholic University of Portugal. Along the two-day conference, researchers from Europe, Africa and the US discussed the interactions between the seas and riverine milieus and the construct of modernity, debating their aesthetic dialogue, the risky tension brought about by environmental awareness, and the politics of water in the modern world. The 13 contributions to this volume, one of which is in French, are organized in two main parts. Part I, "Water Writing and Modernity", focuses on the representational and iconic power of waterways in their interaction with modernity. Moving on from literary representation, Part II, "Fluid Cultures and Poetics", then examines water writing either as a structural poetological device or as a cultural phenomenon. Contents: I. Capeloa Gil: Introduction. - M. Schmeling: 'Navigatio poetae'. L'eau inspiratrice chez les écrivains de la modernité. - H. Buescu: Water that Flows. Up and Down the River . - M. Schmitz-Emans: Water Writing. Fluid Languages and the Voices of the Sea. - I. Lopez: Beachfront Property for the American Navy. Vieques Island in Mayra Montero?s "The Captain of Sleepers". - B. Wolf: Robinson or the 'Nomos' of the Island. - K. Joslin: Rachel Carson and the Song of the Sea. - I. Capeloa Gil: Hydrography, or the Anxiety of the Sea. The Nautical Chart as a Cultural Model. - A. Lopes: Liquid Translation. On the Portuguese (Sub)Version of Walter Scott?s "The Pirate". - O. Madany: The Sea and the Desert in Modern Egyptian Writing. - T. Bailey: Listening to the Music of the Ompompanoosuc. - T. Ferreira: The Woman and the Sea Beyond. On Sophia de Mello Breyner. - A.-M.
