Intercultural Spaces of Law Translating Invisibilities


Free Download Intercultural Spaces of Law: Translating Invisibilities
English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031274350 | 789 Pages | EPUB (True) | 7 MB
This book proposes an interdisciplinary methodology for developing an intercultural use of law so as to include cultural differences and their protection within legal discourse; this is based on an analysis of the sensory grammar tacitly included in categorizations. This is achieved by combining the theoretical insights provided by legal theory, anthropology and semiotics with a reading of human rights as translational interfaces among the different cultural spaces in which people live. To support this use of human rights’ semantic and normative potential, a specific cultural-geographic view dubbed ‘legal chorology’ is employed. Its primary purpose is to show the extant continuity between categories and spaces of experience, and more specifically between legal meanings and the spatial dimensions of people’s lives.

Not in the Spaces we Know An Exploration of Science Fiction and the Bible


Free Download Edited by Frauke Uhlenbruch;In Collaboration With Anna Angelini & Anne-Sophie Augier, "Not in the Spaces we Know: An Exploration of Science Fiction and the Bible "
English | ISBN: 1463206941 | 2017 | 135 pages | PDF | 991 KB
This volume explores themes at the intersection of the Bible and science fiction. In the genre of science fiction in film, books, comic books, or fan fiction, we find portrayals of possible futures, altered pasts, supernatural or beyond-human beings. Just as in biblical literature, science fiction can contain metaphysical speculation. Departing from this intersection, the authors engage with biblical texts ‘as’ science fiction, asking different questions of their sources: can science fiction theory and practice yield new approaches to the discussion of biblical texts? The authors reflect on methodology and offer case studies that include, among others, superhuman biblical kings and uncanny divine intermediaries.

Reshaping Gender and Class in Rural Spaces


Free Download Belinda Leach, "Reshaping Gender and Class in Rural Spaces "
English | ISBN: 1409402916 | 2011 | 266 pages | EPUB | 1282 KB
Leach and Pini bring together empirical and theoretical studies that consider the intersections of class, gender and rurality. Each chapter engages with current debates on these concepts to explore them in the context of contemporary social and economic transformations in which global processes that reconstitute gender and class interconnect with and take shape in a particular form of locality – the rural. The book is innovative in that it: – responds to calls for more critical work on the rural ‘other’ – contributes to scholarship on gender and rurality, but does so through the lens of class. This book places the question of gender, rurality and difference at its centre through its focus on class – addresses the urban bias of much class scholarship as well as the lack of gender analysis in much rural and class academic work – focuses on the ways that class mediates the construction and practices of rural men/masculinities and rural women/femininities – challenges prevalent (and divergent) assumptions with chapters utilising contemporary theorisations of class With the empirical strongly grounded in theory, this book will appeal to scholars working in the fields of gender, rurality, identity, and class studies.

The Spaces of Renaissance Anatomy Theater


Free Download Leslie R Malland, "The Spaces of Renaissance Anatomy Theater "
English | ISBN: 1648891411 | 2022 | 240 pages | PDF | 8 MB
The space of Renaissance anatomy is not solely in the physical theatre. As this collection demonstrates, the space of the theatre encompasses every aspect of Renaissance culture, from its education systems, art, and writing to its concepts of identity, citizenship, and the natural world. This book argues that Renaissance anatomy theatres were spaces of intersection that influenced every aspect of their culture, and that scholars should broaden their concept of anatomy theatres to include more than the physical space of the theatre itself. Instead, we should approach the anatomy theatres as spaces where cultural expression is influenced by the hands-on study of human cadavers. This book enters the ongoing conversation surrounding Renaissance anatomy by dialogically engaging with such scholars as Jonathan Sawaday, Merry E. Wiesner-Hanks, Kathryn Schwarz, and primary texts such as ‘De humani corporis fabric’, Montaigne’s ‘Essais’, and Shakespearean plays. The book also features Renaissance artwork alongside works by Laurence Winram.

Kähler Geometry of Loop Spaces


Free Download Kähler Geometry of Loop Spaces By Armen Sergeev
2010 | 227 Pages | ISBN: 4931469604 | PDF | 2 MB
In this book we study three important classes of infinite-dimensional Kähler manifolds – loop spaces of compact Lie groups, Teichmüller spaces of complex structures on loop spaces, and Grassmannians of Hilbert spaces. Each of these manifolds has a rich Kähler geometry, considered in the first part of the book, and may be considered as a universal object in a category, containing all its finite-dimensional counterparts.On the other hand, these manifolds are closely related to string theory.

Urban Spaces Planning and Struggles for Land and Community


Free Download James Jennings, "Urban Spaces: Planning and Struggles for Land and Community"
English | ISBN: 0739137441 | 2009 | 150 pages | EPUB | 509 KB
The control and utilization of urban spaces remains a highly contested issue. Much of the debate centers on issues of economic development versus the maintenance and support of already existing communities. As a number of urban areas are in the throes of gentrification and economic development projects, there is a dearth of information on not only the use of private power in this process, but also the response of the community members. This anthology responds to a growing concern about urban and community development, and the role of corporate power.
