English | ISBN: 1443862142 | 2014 | 325 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Popular and Visual Culture: Design, Circulation and Consumption is a transnational project that fosters a dialogue with multiple origins, both in geographical and academic terms. From the onset, this book questions the concepts of visual and popular culture, terms which are currently applied both to describe scientific fields, as operative concepts in theoretical discourse, and to characterize specific cultural contexts. The book's analysis and categorization of visual and popular culture pursues discourses and practices which mark different historical eras and shape social orders. Because popular iconic and written productions are the outcome of a network of political, economic, ideological and social circumstances, they are often hardly detectable and too taken for granted to be critically recognized, even by those who draw, paint or write (and live) under their influence. That is why visual figurations of popular culture should be studied as the support of a deeply motivated symbolic discourse on the values shared by a community. This book deals, in a way or another, with how popular and visual artefacts and sceneries are socially built, preserved and/or contested. The volume brings together, not only different disciplinary perspectives, but also diverse empirical phenomena, while approaching the wide subject of visuality and popular culture.

Free Download Sanjay Subrahmanyam, Jacques Pouchepadass, Claude Markovits, "Society and Circulation: Mobile People and Itinerant Cultures in South Asia 1750-1950"
English | 2002 | ISBN: 8178240394, 1843310899, 1843310902 | PDF | pages: 191 | 57.8 mb
The idea of an 'eternal India', based on stable and unchanging villages, has been in disarray for at least two decades. This volume sets out to construct an alternative positive vision, using the idea of 'circulation' in relation to South Asia in the colonial period. It comprises a set of complementary essays which deal with merchant circulation, pilgrimages, cartography, policing, labour mobility, and the movement of itinerant groups - from colonial administrators to wandering bards - and demonstrates that the South Asia of this period was made and remade by changing patterns and the logic of circulation. This book will not only interest South Asianists but also those interested in historical method as well as wider comparative perspectives on early modern and contemporary history.

Free Download Julianne Werlin, "Writing at the Origin of Capitalism: Literary Circulation and Social Change in Early Modern England"
English | ISBN: 0198869460 | 2021 | 208 pages | PDF | 982 KB
In the late sixteenth through seventeenth centuries, England simultaneously developed a national market and a national literary culture. Writing at the Origin of Capitalism describes how economic change in early modern England created new patterns of textual production and circulation with lasting consequences for English literature. Synthesizing research in book and media history, including investigations of manuscript and print, with Marxist historical theory, this volume demonstrates that England's transition to capitalism had a decisive impact on techniques of writing, rates of literacy, and modes of reception, and, in turn, on the form and style of texts.

English | 2008 | pages: 276 | ISBN: 0415394775, 0415394767 | PDF | 5,6 mb
Beyond Archigram is the first study of the prehistory of digital representation to focus on the magazine Archigram,the magazine published in London irregularly between 1961 and 1970 and the name of the group that created it. Archigram is among the most significant phenomena to emerge in post-war architectural culture. The wired environments first advertised on its pages formulated an architectural vocabulary of metamorphosis and obsolescence that cross-pollinated industrial and digital technology at the same time as complex systems were becoming commercially available.

The Global Circulation of Chinese Materia Medica, 1700-1949: A Microhistory of the Caterpillar Fungus
English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031247221 | 428 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 3 MB
This book explores the dissemination of knowledge around Chinese medicinal substances from the eighteenth to twentieth centuries in a global context. The author presents a microhistory of the caterpillar fungus, a natural, medicinal substance initially used by Tibetans no later than the fifteenth century and later assimilated into Chinese materia medica from the eighteenth century onwards. Tracing the transmission of the caterpillar fungus from China to France, Britain, Russia and Japan, the book investigates the tensions that existed between prevailing Chinese knowledge and new European ideas about the caterpillar fungus. Emerging in eighteenth and nineteenth-century Europe, these ideas eventually reached communities of scientists, physicians and other intellectuals in Japan and China. Seeking to examine why the caterpillar fungus engaged the attention of so many scientific communities across the globe, the author offers a transnational perspective on the making of modern European natural history and Chinese materia medica.

Despite major advances in the observation and numerical simulation of the atmosphere, basic features of the Earth's climate remain poorly understood. Integrating the available data and computational resources to improve our understanding of the global circulation of the atmosphere remains a challenge. Theory must play a critical role in meeting this challenge. This book provides an authoritative summary of the state of the art on this front.

Post-conflict Colombia and the Global Circulation of Military Expertise by Manuela Trindade Viana
English | EPUB | 2022 | 286 Pages | ISBN : 3030961028 | 0.5 MB
By challenging more common analyses that point to the existence of a "post-conflict scenario" in Colombia and those that resist the narrative of "success", both of which operate within the logic of presence/absence of violence, this book proposes instead that we think of "post-conflict" in terms of the transformation of the rules on the use of violence.
