Organic Cinema: Film, Architecture, and the Work of Béla Tarr
ISBN: 9781785335662 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The "organic" is by now a venerable concept within aesthetics, architecture, and art history, but what might such a term mean within the spatialities and temporalities of film? By way of an answer, this concise and innovative study locates organicity in the work of Bela Tarr, the renowned Hungarian filmmaker and pioneer of the "slow cinema" movement. Through a wholly original analysis of the long take and other signature features of Tarr's work, author Thorsten Botz-Bornstein establishes compelling links between the seemingly remote spheres of film and architecture, revealing shared...

The Crisis of the Human Sciences: False Objectivity and the Decline of Creativity
ISBN: 9781443833530 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Centralization and over-professionalization can lead to the disappearance of a critical environment capable of linking the human sciences to the “real world.” The authors of this volume suggest that the humanities need to operate in a concrete cultural environment able to influence procedures on a hic et nunc basis, and that they should not entirely depend on normative criteria whose function is often to hide ignorance behind a pretentious veil of value-neutral objectivity.
In sociology, the growth of scientism has fragmented ethical categories and distorted discourse between our... Centralization and over-professionalization can lead to the disappearance of a critical environment capable of linking the human sciences to the “re...

ISBN: 9781439923740 / Angielski / Miękka / 2023 / 225 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. During the Great Depression, the proliferation of local taxpayers’ associations was dramatic and unprecedented.

2030 - Will Computers Become Human?: A perspective on the future of the computer
ISBN: 9781502305862 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 108 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Who first conceived the idea that someday computers would "think" in ways that one could not distinguish from a human? Perhaps it was Alan Turing. Born in 1912, this British mathematician, cryptanalyst (in World War II), computer scientist and marathon runner, created the concept and first model of a general purpose computer. It became known as the Turing Machine. More germane to this book is his prediction that computers would someday "think" so similarly to humans, that if a problem was posed to a human in one room, and a computer in another, the questioner could not distinguish from which...

Gender Outlaw: On Men, Women and the Rest of Us
ISBN: 9780415908979 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Gender Outlaw is the work of a woman who has been through some changes--a former heterosexual male, a one-time Scientologist and IBM salesperson, now a lesbian woman writer and actress who makes regular rounds on the TV (so to speak) talk shows. In her book, Bornstein covers the "mechanics" of her surgery, everything you've always wanted to know about gender (but were too confused to ask) addresses the place and politics of the transgendered and intterogates the questions of those who give the subject little thought, creating questions of her own.

Disquieting Gifts: Humanitarianism in New Delhi
ISBN: 9780804770019 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. While most people would not consider sponsoring an orphan's education to be in the same category as international humanitarian aid, both acts are linked by the desire to give. Many studies focus on the outcomes of humanitarian work, but the impulses that inspire people to engage in the first place receive less attention. Disquieting Gifts takes a close look at people working on humanitarian projects in New Delhi to explore why they engage in philanthropic work, what humanitarianism looks like to them, and the ethical and political tangles they encounter. Motivated by debates...

From 1888 to 1892 W.B.Yeats contributed a series of essays on literature and Irish folklore to two American newspapers, the Boston Pilot and Providence Sunday Journal.

"My Gender Workbook may take a leap of faith to crack open, but the charm, wit, and quiet intelligence of its author will almost undoubtedly keep you along for the whole trip. And it is a trip, let me tell you." --The Toronto Star Cultural theorists have written loads of smart but difficult-to-fathom texts on gender theory, but most fail to provide a hands-on, accessible guide for those trying to sort out their own sexual identities. In My Gender Workbook, transgender activist Kate Bornstein brings theory down to Earth and provides a practical approach to living with or without a...
