Tempus
Author: Herald WeinrichPublisher: Fordham Univ Press
ISBN: 1531503357
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
A foundational book by one of the most distinguished German humanists of the last half century, Tempus joins cultural linguistics and literary interpretation at the hip. Developing two controversial theses—that sentences are not truly meaningful in isolation from their contexts and that verb tenses are primarily indicators not of time but of the attitude of the speaker or writer—Tempus surveys a dazzling array of ancient and modern texts from famous authors as well as casual speakers of German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Latin, and English, with a final chapter extending the observations to Greek, Russian, and world languages. A classic in German and long available in many other languages, Tempus launched a new discipline, text linguistics, and established a unique career that was marked by precise observation, sensitive cultural outreach, and practical engagement with the situation of migrants. Weinrich’s robust and lucid close readings of famous and little-known authors from all the major languages of western Europe expand our literary horizons and challenge our linguistic understanding.

Book Description
Le livre que vous vous apprêtez à lire a été écrit en 1985 et, pour toutes sortes de bonnes ou mauvaises raisons, est demeuré au fond d'un tiroir jusqu'à aujourd'hui. Son caractère intemporel et universel est basé sur une considération générale de la spiritualité, de la science et de la réflexion personnelle. Aujourd'hui, comme il y a 30 ans, on peut remarquer que «plus ça change et plus c'est pareil» puisque les gens n'apprennent pas, ou si peu, de leurs expériences. Malgré toutes les révolutions culturelles ou technologiques, si nous regardons au plus profond de notre être, nous remarquerons que ce que nous recherchons vraiment c'est la paix intérieure, comme le disent les mystiques de tous temps. Ce petit livre vise justement à vous amener sur des sentiers qui vous permettront de revenir à l'essentiel c'est-à-dire de rechercher à apprendre à vivre à partir de l'intérieur et non de l'extérieur en gardant à l'esprit que ce que vous êtes en conscience s'extériorise dans votre vie au quotidien. Rappelez-vous que le hasard n'existe pas et que, malgré la croyance populaire, nous ne savons pas ce qui est bon pour nous ou ce dont nous avons réellement besoin.

Time, Narrative & the Fixed Image / Temps, narration & image fixe
Author: Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004485686
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
This volume focuses on the relationship between time, narrative and the fixed image. As such, it highlights renewed interest in the temporality of the fixed image, probably one of the most important trends in the formal and semiotic analysis of visual media in the past decade. The various essays discuss paintings, the illustrated covers of books, comics or graphic novels, photo-stories, postcards, television and video art, as well as aesthetic practices that defy categorization such as Chris Marker’s masterpiece La Jetée. The range of works and practices examined is reflected in the different theoretical approaches and methods used, with an emphasis on semiology and narratology, and, to a lesser extent, aesthetics and psychoanalysis. The interest of this book, however, does not stem exclusively from the range and scope of the artefacts examined, or the methodological issues that are addressed; its fundamental importance rests in the contributors’ readiness to question the differentiation between fixed and moving images which all too often provides a convenient, if not altogether convincing, starting point for image analysis. . The originality and value of the contribution that Time, Narrative and the Fixed Image/Temps, Narration et image fixe makes to the body of theoretical writing on visual media lies in this challenging and comprehensive approach.
