The Language of the Gods in the World of Men: Sanskrit, Culture, and Power in Premodern India
ISBN: 9780520245006 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 703 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this work of impressive scholarship, Sheldon Pollock explores the remarkable rise and fall of Sanskrit, India's ancient language, as a vehicle of poetry and polity. He traces the two great moments of its transformation: the first around the beginning of the Common Era, when Sanskrit, long a sacred language, was reinvented as a code for literary and political expression, the start of an amazing career that saw Sanskrit literary culture spread from Afghanistan to Java. The second moment occurred around the beginning of the second millennium, when local speech forms challenged and eventually...

Differencing the Canon : Feminism and the Writing of Art's Histories
ISBN: 9780415067003 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Is the canon of art history a sacred collection of the best paintings by the greatest masters, or a construct turning its contents into products of mastery, and defining culture and creativity as essentially European and masculine? The question of the traditional, patriarchal canon, of whether it should be rejected, replaced or reformed, is a debate at the centre of feminist art history. In this book, the author examines the canon's appeal, and explores both the fantasies and desires served by traditional heroic narratives in art history, and those which drive feminist criticism to oppose...

Language and Thought
ISBN: 9780691641928 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Most philosophical theories of language have assumed that statements (products of assertion) and propositions (objects of belief) are the same things. John L. Pollock denies this, maintaining that even when the speaker is perfectly sincere, what he is thinking need not be the same thing as what he is saying. Originally published in 1982. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of...

It seems as if not even a few hours goes by, let alone a day, whereby the average teens does not click a button to accept or send a "friend me" request on Facebook, or to send or receive a "tweet" on Twitter, or to quickly craft one of the 3600 text messages sent out each month on average by today's youth. Teens are flocking in droves to be "liked" or to be "followed" and to feel as if they fit in and are part of something special. They are willing to, in essence, bare it all on the internet. They are... There is a phenomenon going on right now in American like no other time in history. It seems as if not even a few hours goes by, let alone a day, w... |

A.M. Klein: The Story of the Poet
ISBN: 9780802004468 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Throughout his career A.M. Klein was concerned primarily with his relationship to his community, seeing himself, and all serious artists, as necessarily shaping and being shaped by the community in which they are rooted. Yet Klein's vision of this relationship was profoundly ambivalent, and this ambivalence is reflected most clearly in his troubled attitude to the two dominant strains in his work, Jewishness and modernism. In this study of A.M. Klein's work, Zailig Pollock focuses on 'the story of the poet, ' which Klein retells again and again at major turning points in his career.... Throughout his career A.M.
