Elsaesser, Thomas. Film History as Media Archaeology. NL Amsterdam: Amsterdam University Press, 2016. http://dx.doi.org/10.5117/9789462980570.
Full textAbstract:
Since cinema has entered the digital era, its very nature has come under renewed scrutiny. Countering the 'death of cinema' debate, Film History as Media Archaeology presents a robust argument for the cinema's current status as a new epistemological object, of interest to philosophers, while also examining the presence of moving images in the museum and art spaces as a challenge for art history. The current study is the fruit of some twenty years of research and writing at the interface of film history, media theory and media archaeology by one of the acknowledged pioneers of the 'new film history' and 'media archaeology'. It joins the efforts of other media scholars to locate cinema's historical emergence and subsequent transformations within the broader field of media change and interaction, as we experience them today.

and, Bruno. Object Perception and Recognition. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198725022.003.0004.
Full textAbstract:
Perceived objects are unitary entities that enter our consciousness as organized wholes distinct from other entities and from empty parts of the environment, that are amenable to bodily interactions, and that possess several features such as a three-dimensional structure, a location in space, a colour, a texture, a weight, a degree of rigidity, an odour, and so on. In this chapter, we will discuss perceptual processes responsible for forming such units within and between sensory channels, typically for the purpose of recognition. Our discussion of multisensory interactions in object perception will provide a useful domain for illustrating the key notion of optimal multisensory integration and for introducing Bayesian models of perception. These models provide important novel ways of addressing classical problems in the philosophy of perception, in influential historical approaches such as the Gestalt theory of perception, and in applications to rehabilitation based on sensory substitution.

Full textAbstract:
The term ‘mind’ (mano) is used in a confused range of different and contradictory senses in the early Pāli canon. Buddhaghosa will impose order by distinguishing distinct cognitive modules, each with its proper domain of cognitive work. Early perception, the subliminal orienting, and initial reception of a stimulus into the perceptual process, is the function of ‘mind-element’ (mano-dhātu), a low-level cognitive system. Late perception and working memory is the function of a high-level cognitive system, ‘mind-discrimination-element’ (mano-viññāṇa-dhātu). In deference to ancient Buddhist tradition, Buddhaghosa refers to six sense-modalities, the sixth being called ‘mind’ (mano). Just as each of the five types of sensory datum enters perceptual processing though a proprietary sense-door, so the objects of mind enter through a ‘mind-door’. However, this is not a sixth channel, a window onto a proprietary sort of mental object, but is nothing other than the door gating projection into short-term working memory.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 4 looks at how key stimuli and brain programming affect our own species’ aesthetics and determine which shapes, colors, and landscapes humans are attracted to and consider beautiful. Like other animals, people are predisposed to respond to certain key stimuli, which have been associated with an expectation of functionality, fitness, and increased well-being. In other words, the perception of beauty represents a strong internal indicator, which it pays to be guided by in order to gain various benefits. In this investigation, the chapter enters the micro-processes of artistic creation. It looks at the aesthetic effects that make up an artwork and at the understanding of why something captivates and fascinates people. The right embellishment can transform a trivial everyday object into an overwhelming power object—a kind of fetish that means the world to us and costs a fortune. How does something like this happen?

Full textAbstract:
Japanese in Meiji Japan (1868–1912) came to realize that socio-political and economic change occurred as an interactive exercise with culture. Indeed, from the late Meiji onwards culture became the object of a defensive attempt to ‘protect’ Japaneseness from Western emasculation. This became an important aspect of the fascist transformation that occurred in inter-war Japan. It was in an atmosphere of anti-Western, pro-Japanese feeling that fascism entered the socio-political lexicon of modern Japan. This article holds that asking whether Japan is fascist is a conceptual quagmire. It also discusses Japan between wars, Maruyama Masao's conceptualization of Japanese fascism, Japanese writing on Japanese fascism, and restoration fascism.

Bogdan, Henrik. Initiations and Transitions. Edited by Michael Stausberg and Steven Engler. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780198729570.013.41.
Full textAbstract:
This chapter discusses initiations and transitions, two phenomena that can be found in all known cultures, both historically and geographically. Initiations and transitions are interlinked types of ritualized behavior, which share the basic common object of marking an event that leads to a new social and psychological state. Thus, when ritualized, they can be studied as rites of passage. Furthermore, the ritualized use of secrecy is frequently encountered in this type of ritual, especially in those that are connected to closed or secret societies, as shown in the case study of the chapter, the Entered Apprentice ritual of Freemasonry. Finally, the notion that the experience of undergoing a ritual of initiation is non-communicable, and how this is related to the use of secrecy, is discussed.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter considers the law on remedies for investor losses. It explains how the advice, recommendation, information, or opinion tendered by the financial adviser must be considered from three perspectives: that of the specific person, who is the object of the adviser's retainer; in respect of the specific purpose for which the advice was sought; and in reference to the specific transaction into which the individual enters in reliance on the advice given. It then discusses damages under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000; compensation for specific produces, including protection policies, pension products, mortgage products, and investment products; incidental heads of claim; regulatory remedies; judicial review of decisions of the FCA, the FSCS manager, and the FSO.

Full textAbstract:
Building on new work that acknowledges the abstract and self-reflexive elements of Walker Evans’s photography, as well as his contributions to avant-garde art practice in the 1930s, this chapter analyzes select images from his 1938 photographic sequence, American Photographs. Evans’s photobook represents the modern United States as a vast machine for constituting subjectivities—but a machine that might be recalibrated or reverse engineered. It therefore emblematizes the subversive power of the woman-in-series in composite modernist writing: a figure who upsets the subject–object relations of this writing, bidding us to enter into the “shared hallucination” that is initiated, for Roland Barthes, by photography.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 2 reviews answers to the question of what is light, starting with the ancient Greeks and ending in 1900 with the wave concept of Maxwell’s electrodynamics. For some ancient Greeks, light consisted of atoms emitted from surface of the object, whereas for others it was fire that either entered into or was emitted by eyes, although the latter possibility was effectively eliminated around the year 1000. Competing proposals well after then were that light is either a wave phenomenon or consists of particles, with Isaac Newton’s corpuscular (particle) theory prevailing by the end of the 1600s over the wave concept championed by Christiaan Huygens, who published the first estimate of the speed of light. In the early 1800s, Thomas Young’s two-slit experiment proved that light was a wave, a concept codified and firmly grounded through Maxwell’s theory of electromagnetic waves.

Full textAbstract:
El tema objeto de discusión en los apartados que conforman este libro, la diversidad cultural y lingüística aparece de manera mucho más puntual a lo largo de la década de los 90. Los grandes movimientos étnico culturales que cobran un auge de proporciones casi mundiales, obligaron básicamente a los estudiosos de las ciencias del hombre a poner mayor atención en este fenómeno. Por mucho tiempo, las discusiones sobre este tópico parecía que dormían el sueño de los justos, a pesar de la presencia de los movimientos de reivindicación étnico-cultural que reiteradamente aparecían señalados en los medios masivos de comunicación del mundo entero; sin embargo, aparentemente, éstos ya no despertaban mayor interés. No obstante que durante los años 60 y 70 este tipo de movimientos había sido uno de los tópicos más importantes, en términos de discusiones académicas y político-económicas y, aun sin haberse dado ningún tipo de respuesta, el tema había pasado a segundo plano.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 1 describes the disparate conditions for the emergence of higher-dimensioned space as a cultural object. It gives an account of Immanuel Kant’s original work on space, and particularly his thoughts on the dimensionality of space, considering this formulation ‘foundational’ for the nineteenth-century novel. Reading scholarly discussion in British periodicals it identifies the persistent use of analogy as a rhetorical device for explaining the ideas of dimensionality. It identifies, too, the fact that geometry itself is a model of the more abstract form that is space, alerting us to a structural shift between domains early in the life cycle of the fourth dimension, as it leaves geometry—a domain of pure thought—to enter space, a phenomenon of the physical world. It also considers Henry More’s notion of ‘spissitude’, an earlier iteration of the fourth dimension.

Full textAbstract:
The transfer or repatriation of funds provision in bilateral investment treaties (BITs) is at the heart of the object and purpose of an investment treaty. The main aim of BITs is to encourage investment by investors of one state into the other state. This chapter discusses the types of payments covered in the repatriation provisions in China's BITs. It includes the scope of the clause and whether it covers both outward and inward transfer of funds. It looks at the types of payments that are covered by the transfer provisions and whether it is an illustrative list or an exhaustive one. It then considers the important provision on convertibility and exchange rates, what they mean, and when they are designated. Finally, the chapter looks at provisions typical to China's BIT provisions on transfer of funds, in particular the limitation on monetary transfers to compliance with “domestic laws and regulations.” The chapter also considers briefly the impact of the pending litigation before the ECJ against several member states on the scope of the transfer provisions in some of their BITs (including some with China) entered into before acceding to the EC Treaty.

Full textAbstract:
For decades, feminist film analysis has been focused on issues of representation: images of women in film. But what are the feminist implications of the material object underlying that image, the filmstrip itself? What does feminist analysis have to offer in understanding the film image before it enters the realm of representation? In Girl Head: Feminism and Film Materiality, Genevieve Yue explores how gender and sexual difference have been deeply embedded within film materiality. Though the industrial practices she examines are typically hidden from view, they are no less gendered than the images projected onscreen. In rich archival and technical detail, Yue examines three sites of technical film production: the film laboratory, editing practices, and the film archive. Within each site, she locates a common motif, the vanishing female body, which is transformed into material to be used in the making of a film. Yue develops a theory of gender and film materiality through readings of narrative film, early cinema, experimental film, and moving image art. In this original work of feminist media history, Girl Head shows how gender has had a surprising and persistent role in film production processes, well before the image ever appears onscreen.
