Grammatologie der Bilder (9783518294895)

Das Buch der bekannten Literaturwissenschaftlerin untersucht die Formen des Bildertausches zwischen Wissenschaft, Religion, Kunst und Literatur. Jenseits der Kontroverse zwischen pictorial und linguistic turn geht es um das Wissen der Bilder an der Grenze zwischen Messen und Deuten: an der Schwelle zwischen Spur und Zeichen, Imaginärem und Sichtbarem, Material und Figur, Schauplatz und Erzählung, Daten und Graphik/Begriff. Momente des In-Erscheinung-Tretens stehen im Zentrum: von Bildern im Denken, von Affekten im Gesicht, von Transzendenz in Gemälden oder in der Dichtung. Ausgehend von der Differenz zwischen neuronalen Indikatoren und Semantik in den bildgebenden Verfahren der aktuellen naturwissenschaftlichen Forschung, widmet sich Sigrid Weigel vor allem dem Wissen, das Malerei und Einbildungskraft über Bilder bereithalten. Ziel ist es, durch die Aufmerksamkeit für das Detail und für das "Unbedeutende" dem "Geist wahrer Philologie" (Benjamin) zum Ausdruck zu verh...

Meaning and Method : The Cultural Approach to Sociology (9781594515705)

Culture is increasingly important to American social science, but in what way? This book addresses the core issues of the sociology of culture-questions about the social role of meaning, along with those about the methods sociologists use to study culture and society-in a manner that makes clear their relevance to sociology as a whole. Part I consists of essays by leading cultural sociologists on how the turn to culture has changed the sociological study of organizations, economic action, and television, and concludes with Georgina Born's methodological statement on the sociology of art and cultural production. Part II contains a highly original, and at times heated, debate between Richard Biernacki and John H. Evans on the appropriateness of abstract and quantifiable coding schemes for the sociological study of culture. Ranging from the philosophy of science to the concrete, practical problems of interpreting masses of cultural data, the debate raises the controversy over the inte...

Virtual and Augmented Architecture (VAA'01) : Proceedings of the International Symposium on Virtual and Augmented Architecture (VAA'01), Trinity College, Dublin, 21 -22 June 2001 (9781852334567)

This book focuseson the use of computer visionand graphics in architecture. It arose from a convergenceof several hot topics: 1. visualization of built environments for engineering, historical and other purposes, 2. virtual reconstruction of architecture from visual data of existing struc tures, whether via photogrammetric or range sensing techniques, and 3. augmentation of video data of architecture with useful information. The focus here is on architecture and howto present it, enhance it's abilities, make it easier to understand and make it accessibleto a larger public. Collective interest in this topic led to the International Symposium on Virtual and Augmented Architecture, whose papers are contained in this book. As editors, we were very pleased about how well the different papers chosen gavea nice focus to the topic and conference.It is clear that there are many different research approaches still active in this area - this makes it an exciting time. Wehope that this book ca...
