Young investigators under the age of 40 are conducting much of the frontier research in these areas, some of which is highlighted in this book. The first author of each chapter took the lead role in carrying out the research presented.

Free Download From the Plate to Gastro-Politics: Unravelling the Boom of Peruvian Cuisine by Raúl Matta
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 308 Pages | ISBN : 303146656X | 9.7 MB
This book provides an interdisciplinary examination of Peruvian cuisine’s shift from a culinary to a political object and the making of Peru as a food nation on the global stage. It focuses on the contexts, processes and protagonists that have endowed the country’s cuisine with new meaning, new coherence and prominence, and with the ability to communicate what was important for Peruvians after decades of political violence and economic decline. This work unfolds central processes of the culinary project ranging from the emergence of gastronomy, to the refiguring of indigenous people as producers, to the use of cultural identity as an authenticating force. From the Plate to Gastro-Politics offers a critical reading of what has been called a "gastronomic revolution", highlighting the ways in which claims to national unity and social reconciliation smooth over ongoing inequalities.

English | ISBN: 1527508641 | 2018 | 165 pages | PDF | 22 MB
This book deals with the scientific viewpoint, which is illustrated here through a number of topical cases in modern science, from gravitational waves to mental disorders to social policies. The scientific perspective involves rationality, realism, and reismthe thesis that the universe is composed of concrete things like atoms, force fields, people, and social organizations. The book shows that the scientific worldview underlies all current scientific and technological research projects. It also claims that any subject involving knowledge can be approached scientifically, and contends that the scientific viewpoint can trump both dogma and improvisationthe standbys of amateurs and demagogues.

Free Download Valentina Valente Rossella Catanese, Francesca Scotto Lavina, "From Sensation to Synaesthesia in Film and New Media"
English | ISBN: 1527519244 | 2019 | 264 pages | PDF | 2 MB
This collection of essays focuses on current theories of sensation and synaesthesia in films and audiovisual works from a variety of methodological perspectives. It offers an insightful exploration of recent film theories about the cinematic experience. Film spectatorship and its extension in new media as a similar form of audience enjoyment stimulates both our senses and mind by creating immersive environments that involve different levels of emotion and consciousness. The collection addresses these topics through its five sections. The first, Perception, focuses on the synaesthetic mechanism underpinning film perception and its connection with affect, cognition, and emotions. The second part, Movement, calls into question the role of gesture and movement within the synaesthetic properties of film. The third section, Senses, examines how movies stimulate all senses, such as olfaction and haptics, and how senses flow into each other according to a-modal perception. The fourth, Abstractions, addresses how avant-garde and abstract cinema trigger synaesthetic reactions in the viewers. The fifth part, New Media and Media Art, explores the deep involvement of the human body through the experience of new media and a variety of synaesthetic implications theorized in different perspectives.

English | ISBN: 0199338159 | 2023 | 512 pages | EPUB, PDF | 107 MB + 121 MB
From Modes to Keys in Early Modern Music Theory addresses one of the broadest and most elusive open topics in music history: the transition from the Renaissance modes to the major and minor keys of the high Baroque. The system Glarean proposed in his 1547 Dodecachordon comprised twelve modes at two transposition levels; the scheme J.S. Bach used to order The Well-Tempered Clavier in 1722 featured two modes at twelve transposition levels. What took place in between?

Free Download Jacek Tittenbrun, "From Marx to Warner"
English | ISBN: 1443898805 | 2017 | 580 pages | PDF | 2 MB
The book offers an in-depth analysis of several important theories of social class and stratification, both past and present. This critique is underpinned by a single, coherent analytic framework organised around the notion of ownership. This original approach allows the book to offer alternative treatments of the issues dealt with by the thinkers discussed here. The central argument here is that there are only two classical theories of social class, namely those developed by Marx and Weber, and this clear systematisation of the main attributes of approaches to class and stratification makes it possible to see that many theories traditionally considered as class ones refer, in fact, to social stratification.
