La ret rica del Imperio

La ret rica del Imperio

David Spurr; Cristina M Rquez

Ediciones Universidad Alberto Hurtado
2013
pokkari
Si bien definir imperio e imperialismo sigue siendo pol mico, predomina el uso que describe una relaci n desigual entre un Estado poderoso con sociedades m s d biles. Sea como sea que se definan sus acciones, los imperios tambi n hablan, producen desde su particular percepci n todo tipo de discursos legitimadores, justificatorios, diagnosticadores. De eso trata este libro. David Spurr, en una tarea meticulosa de an lisis, relee una variedad de g neros discursivos engendrados en el marco del proceso de dominaci n y nos propone doce tropos que definen la ret rica del imperio como un territorio com n y constituyente de la matriz central de los ideales de las potencias imperiales de Occidente. El lenguaje que habla del Otro y su mundo, expresa la incontenible voluntad de imperio a trav s de las estrategias ret ricas que buscan naturalizarla.

The Rhetoric of Empire

The Rhetoric of Empire

David Spurr

Duke University Press
1993
pokkari
The white man's burden, darkest Africa, the seduction of the primitive: such phrases were widespread in the language Western empires used to talk about their colonial enterprises. How this language itself served imperial purposes--and how it survives today in writing about the Third World--are the subject of David Spurr's book, a revealing account of the rhetorical strategies that have defined Western thinking about the non-Western world.Despite historical differences among British, French, and American versions of colonialism, their rhetoric had much in common. The Rhetoric of Empire identifies these shared features-images, figures of speech, and characteristic lines of argument-and explores them in a wide variety of sources. A former correspondent for the United Press International, the author is equally at home with journalism or critical theory, travel writing or official documents, and his discussion is remarkably comprehensive. Ranging from T. E. Lawrence and Isak Dineson to Hemingway and Naipaul, from Time and the New Yorker to the National Geographic and Le Monde, from journalists such as Didion and Sontag to colonial administrators such as Frederick Lugard and Albert Sarraut, this analysis suggests the degree to which certain rhetorical tactics penetrate the popular as well as official colonial and postcolonial discourse. Finally, Spurr considers the question: Can the language itself-and with it, Western forms of interpretation--be freed of the exercise of colonial power? This ambitious book is an answer of sorts. By exposing the rhetoric of empire, Spurr begins to loosen its hold over discourse about-and between-different cultures.

Architecture and Modern Literature

Architecture and Modern Literature

David Anton Spurr

The University of Michigan Press
2012
nidottu
Architecture and Modern Literature explores the representation and interpretation of architectural space in modern literature from the early nineteenth century to the present, with the aim of showing how literary production and architectural construction are related as cultural forms in the historical context of modernity. In addressing this subject, it also examines the larger questions of the relation between literature and architecture and the extent to which these two arts define one another in the social and philosophical contexts of modernity. Architecture and Modern Literature will serve as a foundational introduction to the emerging interdisciplinary study of architecture and literature. David Spurr addresses a broad range of material, including literary, critical, and philosophical works in English, French, and German, and proposes a new historical and theoretical overview of this area, in which modern forms of "meaning" in architecture and literature are related to the discourses of being, dwelling, and homelessness.

Joyce and the Scene of Modernity

Joyce and the Scene of Modernity

Spurr David

University Press of Florida
2002
sidottu
The contextual studies collected for this book, taken together, explore the notion that, in all of Joyce's major works, his idea of ""altereffects"" (alterity or otherwise) pervades his treatment of the modern condition. The author proposes a revitalized vision of modernism, taking Joyce as a privileged site upon which to build a broader cultural context. The book takes a comparative perspective, which raeds Joyce's work alongside that of, notable, Mallarme and Proust, seen here as inaugurating an alternative continental modernim to which Joyce belongs. This approach marks an alternative direction for Joyce studies and for modernist literary studies in general in that it negotiates between historicism and igh theory, combining the study of specific historical contexts with a theoretically informed reflection on the fundamental questions of modern human existence: the questions of being, of language, of the subject, of the very possibility of literature in the modern world.

How Dysfunctional Families Spur Mental Disorders

How Dysfunctional Families Spur Mental Disorders

David M. Allen MD

Praeger Publishers Inc
2010
sidottu
The book examines various scientific, economic, and cultural forces that have affected the mental health field's viewpoint—and that of society in general—regarding the genesis of some behavioral disorders, and how dysfunctional family dynamics play an often overlooked role. Millions of Americans have psychological issues or are affected by those of their family members, ranging from anxiety and bipolar disorder to mood and personality disorders. The growth of Big Pharma, combined with an increasing desire of managed care providers to find simple and "quick fixes," has resulted in an often myopic focus on biological causes of dysfunctional symptoms. There is plenty of evidence to indicate that this propensity to only prescribe pills is often deeply misguided, however. This book examines the role of dysfunctional family interactions in the genesis and maintenance of certain behavioral problems. The author presents a case for regaining a balance in terms of the biological, psychological, and family-system factors in psychiatric disorders and suggests a way to accomplish this.

Die Erde k nnte die gesamte Weltbev lkerung - einschlie lich aller Tiere - problemlos ern hren. Aber mit Nahrungsmitteln kann man Geld verdienen, die Lebensmittelbranche ist die gr te und m chtigste Industrie des gesamten Planeten. Je mehr Einflu die Konzerne auf unsere Essgewohnheiten haben, je mehr die Landwirtschaft und damit die Nahrungsmittelerzeugung industrialisiert und standardisiert wird, desto mehr l sst sich verdienen, desto gr er werden Macht und Einflu der Marktteilnehmer. Aus dem marktwirtschaftlichen Gesetz des stetigen Wachstums hat sich f r die Nahrungsmittelerzeugung ergeben, dass Pestizide, Genver nderungen, Monokulturen und Massentierhaltung zu angeblich unabdingbaren Faktoren geworden sind, denen auch die kleinsten Bauern in den abgelegensten Winkeln der Welt unterworfen werden - die Patentierung von Saatgut macht es m glich. Wenn wir uns also hier und heute dazu entscheiden im Supermarkt ein Schnitzel oder ein Steak zu kaufen, bewirken wir damit unter anderem, dass irgendwo auf der Welt ein Kind hungrig ins Bett gehen muss, weil seine Tagesration Getreide ins Ausland verkauft wurde, wo sie dazu dient Schweine zu f ttern, die in engen K figen meterhoch bereinander stehen und ihr gesamtes Leben in einem F kalienregen der Tiere ber ihnen stehen. Band 2 besch ftigt sich mit den Auswirkungen unseres Konsumverhaltens auf die Nahrungsmittelerzeugung in der ganzen Welt, hinterfragt wie die Marketingmaschinerie der Lebensmittelindustrie den Verbrauchern immer unges ndere Produkte schmackhaft macht und wie deren Erzeugung immer mehr Ressourcen sinnlos verschwendet. So werden f r die Erzeugung von einem Kilo ungesunden und stark belasteten Fleisches 16 Kilo Getreide verbrauch - von all dem Wasser, dem erzeugten Methan und Kot und dem Transport rund um die Welt einmal abgesehen.

The story of King David, his childhood, his battle with the Philistines, his women, and the tragedy of his son Absalom, is full of excitement, but yet is only a part of his life. His relationship with the Lord God was the key thing, and he danced before the Lord. He was also the first King of Israel, and our story starts at the time when Jerusalem was conquered by Babylon, and its people taken away into captivity. They started to look back at the foundation myths of their history, and the story of David and Solomon, when the kingdom was at the height of its glory, seemed to be just the story to tell. So that is how the collection of stories of David came to be compiled into the books we can read today.

Yale University Press

A reexamination of the biblical David, legendary warrior, poet, and king, by one of America’s most respected rabbis Of all the figures in the Bible, David arguably stands out as the most perplexing and enigmatic. He was many things: a warrior who subdued Goliath and the Philistines; a king who united a nation; a poet who created beautiful, sensitive verse; a loyal servant of God who proposed the great Temple and founded the Messianic line; a schemer, deceiver, and adulterer who freely indulged his very human appetites. David Wolpe, whom Newsweek called “the most influential rabbi in America,” takes a fresh look at biblical David in an attempt to find coherence in his seemingly contradictory actions and impulses. The author questions why David holds such an exalted place in history and legend, and then proceeds to unravel his complex character based on information found in the book of Samuel and later literature. What emerges is a fascinating portrait of an exceptional human being who, despite his many flaws, was truly beloved by God.

"God and whiskey have got me where I am. Too little of the one, too much of the other." - David King, Chatham, Canada, 1895. Born a slave in 1847, but raised as a free man on the world-renowned, African-American Elgin Settlement near present-day Chatham, Ontario, David King is a man whose life has been defined by his violent rebellion against the very person who freed him - the Reverend William King. Far from the pulpit he was intended to fill as the Reverend King's anointed successor, David has lost his faith in God and humanity. He has also turned his back on both his past and his own people by abandoning the Elgin Settlement for nearby Chatham after a final, shattering confrontation with the Reverend King. Undoubtedly, the most unconventional man in town, David is also - thanks to his illegal after-hours tavern, Sophia's, and his highly lucrative grave robbing business - one of Chatham's richest citizens, white or black, and certainly its best read. Triggered by the news of the elderly Reverend King's death, the middle-aged David is compelled to revisit a past he thought he left behind, but which - as evidenced by his inability to embrace the happiness he so dearly earned - he clearly has not. Ranging over the early years of the pioneering Elgin Settlement, David's wild, whiskey-fueled early years in Chatham as a factory worker and apprentice grave-robber, and his day-to-day life with his ex-prostitute German lover in present-day, 1895 Chatham, David is a portal to a fascinating, if mostly unknown piece of Canadian history, as well as, the story of one man's search for wisdom, peace, and forgiveness.
