Experiential Visualization in Architectural Design Media How It Actually Works

Experiential Visualization in Architectural Design Media How It Actually Works

Experimental Visualization in Architectural Design Media: How It Actually Works is a theoretical practical and interdisciplinary account of the tools used by architects and designers. The book focuses on the how these tools influence their ability to envision and craft the future experiential reality of buildings and environments. The book is structured around two parallel sets of questions. The first concerns the effects of various media on the designer's understanding of their work in experiential terms. The media considered include the process of design-build standard media such as scale model building hand drawing drafting and extends into the now dominant digitally based design media of BIM digital modeling and emerging VR technologies such as Enscape. The second line of questioning seeks patterns of use and other attributes designers deploy in practice to achieve an experiential and meaningful understanding of their work with and through each medium. To answer these questions the author provides a detailed assessment of the pros and cons (affordance and constraint) of each form of mediation and a set of recommendations documenting how experienced designers enhance their visualization skills to support such experiential design. This work is interwoven with interdisciplinary consideration of technology perception media studies history and bolstered by the direct experiences of design professionals. This book will be of interest to researchers working in the field of architecture and design as well as practising architects designers and students who are seeking guidance on how to effectively design and consider the experience of their future built environments. | Experiential Visualization in Architectural Design Media How It Actually Works

Lying Truthtelling and Storytelling in Children’s and Young Adult Literature Telling It Slant

Lying Truthtelling and Storytelling in Children’s and Young Adult Literature Telling It Slant

Even though we instruct our children not to lie the truth is that lying is a fundamental part of children’s development—socially cognitively emotionally morally. Lying can sometimes be more compassionate than telling the truth even more ethical. Reading specific children’s books can instruct child readers how to be guided by an etiquette of lying to know when to tell the truth and when to lie. Equally important these stories can help prevent them from being prey to those liars who are intent on taking advantage of them. Becoming a critical reader requires that one learn how to lie judiciously as well as to see through others’ lies. When humans first began to speak we began to lie. When we began to lie we started telling stories. This is the paradox that in order to tell truthful stories we must be good liars. Novels about child-artists showcased here illustrate how the protagonist embraces this paradox accepting the stigma that a writer is a liar who tells the truth. Emily Dickinson’s phrase “tell it slant” best expresses the vision of how writers for children and young adults negotiate the conundrum of both protecting child readers and teaching them to protect themselves. This volume explores the pervasiveness of lying as well as the necessity for lying in our society; the origins of lying as connected to language acquisition; the realization that storytelling is both lying and truthtelling; and the negotiations child-artists must process in order to grasp the paradox that to become storytellers they must become expert liars and lie-detectors. | Lying Truthtelling and Storytelling in Children’s and Young Adult Literature Telling It Slant

From Playtext to Performance on the Early Modern Stage How Did They Do It?

From Playtext to Performance on the Early Modern Stage How Did They Do It?

This book reconsiders the evidence for what we know (or think we know) about early modern performance conditions. This study encourages a new recognition and treatment of certain aspects of the plays as evidence – and demonstrates the significance of the implications of that new information. This book is also an assessment of the competing narratives about the processes involved in early modern performance: about the status of manuscript playbooks about the parts that players memorized about the functions of the bookkeeper about casting about prompting and about rehearsal practices. Leslie Thomson investigates the bases for the interdependent beliefs that an early modern player relied only on his part to prepare for a performance that rehearsal was minimal and that a bookkeeper compensated for these circumstances by prompting any player who was out of his part. By focusing on often ignored (or downplayed) requirements and challenges of early modern play texts Thomson provides evidence for answers that will foster a more nuanced and thorough understanding of original performance practices. That will in turn influence how we read study and edit the plays. This exploration will be of great interest to theatre and performance researchers graduate students teachers of early modern drama at the undergraduate and graduate levels performers directors editors. | From Playtext to Performance on the Early Modern Stage How Did They Do It?

Historiographies of Philosophy 1800–1950

Historiographies of Philosophy 1800–1950

This volume discusses ways in which the history of philosophy has been written from 1800 to 1950 and how it has been informed and guided by institutional cultural political philosophical and non-philosophical factors. Since its inception as a discipline histories of philosophy have been written in different ways depending on author place and time; they have varied according to institutional frameworks cultural settings and philosophical and non-philosophical contexts. At each stage of the discipline’s development and evolution philosophy has constantly used the history of philosophy for its own purposes by adapting it transforming it rejecting it embracing it and rewriting it at every step of the way. The chapters in this book examine the methods deployed by historians of philosophy epistemological foundations laid down for those methods and the philosophical (or non-philosophical) aims pursued using those methods. This book will be a great resource for academics researchers and advanced students of philosophy and related fields including political philosophy and history of philosophy. It was originally published as a special issue of the British Journal for the History of Philosophy. | Historiographies of Philosophy 1800–1950

Interpreting Intersectionality Interpretative Politics in Metacommentaries

Interpreting Intersectionality Interpretative Politics in Metacommentaries

Against the backdrop of the emergence of intersectionality as a dominant paradigm in feminist scholarship and activism this book explores the genre of metacommentaries as critical responses to the development of intersectionality as a paradigm. With attention to the dispersal of intersectionality into ever-newer contexts – and the missteps and breakdowns that occur during this process – it addresses the concern that intersectionality is transforming into something unrecognisable drifting too far away from its foundational sources and visions and becoming diluted by its expansion. Examining the process by which metacommentaries engage in a form of corrective storytelling – seeking to rescue intersectionality from misuse by pinning it down and returning it to where it belongs – Interpreting Intersectionality presents a critique of these gestures of correction arguing that far from reconnecting intersectionality with its roots and enabling it to realise its potential such metacommentaries actually bind the scholarly discourse on intersectionality to an either/or argumentative dynamic. It will therefore appeal to scholars and students with an interest in feminist theory gender studies and/or intersectional analysis. | Interpreting Intersectionality Interpretative Politics in Metacommentaries
