Intergenerational solidarity in libraries / La solidarité intergénérationnelle dans les bibliothèques
Author: Ivanka StricevicPublisher: Walter de Gruyter
ISBN: 3110280981
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 360
Book Description
Rapid and intensive changes in the information landscape cause changes in social relationships and, consequently, in relations between generations. Within their social role libraries should work actively to reduce age segregation and isolation, and build cohesive society through intergenerational services and programmes. The authors speak about the intergenerational dialogue in libraries - theories, research and practice - and about reading as a link between generations, thus offering to libraries strategies for establishing social cohesion.
Finding the Plot
Author: Loïc ArtiagoPublisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1443865443
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 345
Book Description
“Plot”, writes Peter Brooks, “is so basic to our very experience of reading, and indeed to our articulation of experience in general, that criticism has often passed it over in silence…” (Reading for the Plot, xi). Finding the Plot both explores and helps to redress this critical neglect. The book brings together an international group of scholars to address the nature, effects and specific pleasures of consuming stories. If the central focus is on France and popular literary fiction, the book’s scope – like contemporary fiction itself – observes no national frontiers, and extends across a variety of media. The book addresses both the empirical question of which genres and types of text have been and are most “popular”, and the theoretical questions of how plots work, what pleasures they offer to readers, and why it matters that the plot should not be lost.
Commentary and Tradition
Author: Pierluigi DoniniPublisher: Walter de Gruyter
ISBN: 3110218739
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 469
Book Description
The volume collects the most important papers Pierluigi Donini wrote in the last three decades with the aim of promoting a better assessment of post-hellenistic philosophy. The philosophical relevance of post-hellenistic philosophy is now widely (though not yet universally) recognized. Yet much remains to be done. The common practice of focusing each single school in itself detracts from a balanced assessment of the strategies exploited by many philosophers of the period. On the assumption that debates among schools play a major role in the philosophy of the commentators, Donini concentrates on the interaction between leading Aristotelians and Platonists and demonstrates that the developments of both systems of thought were heavily influenced by a continuous confrontation between the two schools. And whereas in cases such as Alcinous and Aspasius this is basically uncontroversial, for other authors such us Alexander, Antiochus and Plutarch the pioneering work of Donini paves the way for a better understanding of their doctrines and definitely confirms the intellectual importance of the first imperial age, when the foundations were laid of versions of both Aristotelianism and Platonism which were bound to influence the whole history of European thought, from Late Antiquity onwards.

Voluptuous Philosophy
Author: Natania MeekerPublisher: Fordham Univ Press
ISBN: 0823226964
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 323
Book Description
In 18th-century France, matter itself - in forms ranging from atoms to anatomies - became a privileged object of study. This book defines what is at stake in the emergence of an enlightened secular materialism by showing how questions of figure are consistently located at the very heart of 18th-century debates on the nature of material substance.
