David McWhirter, "Henry James in Context "
English | ISBN: 0521514614 | 2010 | 528 pages | PDF | 4 MB
Long misread as a novelist conspicuously lacking in historical consciousness, Henry James has often been viewed as detached from, and uninterested in, the social, political, and material realities of his time. As this volume demonstrates, however, James was acutely responsive not only to his era's changing attitudes toward gender, sexuality, class, and ethnicity, but also to changing conditions of literary production and reception, the rise of consumerism and mass culture, and the emergence of new technologies and media, of new apprehensions of time and space. These essays portray the author and his works in the context of the modernity that determined, formed, interested, appalled, and/or provoked his always curious mind. With contributions from an international cast of distinguished scholars, Henry James in Context provides a map of leading edge work in contemporary James studies, an invaluable reference work for students and scholars, and a blueprint for possible future directions.

Social Psychology in the Philippine Context by Ma. Elizabeth J. Macapagal, Mira Alexis P. Ofreneo, Cristina J. Montiel, Jocelyn M. Nolasco
2013 | ISBN: 971550678X | English | 243 pages | PDF | 1.3 MB
'Students deserve far better than to be only taught traditional social psychology. Those living in non-Western societies have rich histories and distinct normative systems, with their own indigenous social issues and patterns of social life. They have their own distinct needs from social psychology. This volume presents a serious effort to develop social psychology that is "appropriate" for Philippine society, something called for but neglected over many decades.'

The Weight of the Printed Word: Text, Context and Militancy in Operaismo By Steve Wright
2021 | 612 Pages | ISBN: 9004471537 | PDF | 6 MB
In The Weight of the Printed Word, Steve Wright explores the creation and use of documents as a key dimension in the activities of the Italian workerists during the 1960s and 1970s. From leaflets and newspapers to books, internal documents and workers' enquiries; the operaisti deployed a wide variety of printed materials in their efforts to organise amongst new subjectivities of mass rebellion. As Wright demonstrates, the practice of working with print was a central part of what it meant to be a workerist or autonomist militant during these years: one that throws light both on the meaning of political engagement, as well as the challenges posed by the use of technologies of communication and by emergent social subjects.

The Speeches of Cicero: Context, Law, Rhetoric By Paul MacKendrick
1995 | 627 Pages | ISBN: 0715624717 | PDF | 32 MB
"In this companion volume to his Philosophical Books of Cicero, Paul MacKendrick provides detailed summaries of a representative sample of Cicero's speeches, each followed by analytical sections on context, law and rhetoric." "In the course of his career Cicero addressed many different audiences, including the people, the Senate, the pontiffs, jurors, and in two cases Julius Caesar himself. The selection also includes two examples of Ciceronian invective at its most biting: Against Vatinius and Against Piso." "This fascinating examination of Cicero's art, which includes copious notes and comprehensive indexes, will be of great value to anyone with an interest in the Roman legal system, or in the context and function of rhetoric in the Ancient World."

Christopher Alan Reynolds, "Motives for Allusion: Context and Content in Nineteenth-Century Music"
English | 2003 | pages: 245 | ISBN: 067401037X | PDF | 17,5 mb
When a critic pointed out to Brahms that the finale theme in his First Symphony was remarkably similar to the Ode to Joy theme in Beethoven's Ninth, he is said to have replied: "Yes indeed, and what's really remarkable is that every jackass notices this at once." Not every musical borrowing is quite so obvious; but the listener who does perceive one is always left wondering: what does the similarity mean? In this illuminating book Christopher Reynolds gives us answers to that complex question.

Entrepreneurship in Context By Marco van Gelderen (editor), Enno Masurel (editor)
2011 | 256 Pages | ISBN: 0415890926 | PDF | 3 MB
Much research in entrepreneurship presents results as if they are universally and timelessly valid. Entrepreneurship in Context takes the opposite tack - it studies entrepreneurship as a context bound phenomenon. For entrepreneurship, the importance of context goes beyond gaining understanding and avoiding mistakes. The reciprocal influence exercised by the entrepreneurial venture and its corresponding context is at the very heart of the entrepreneur as an agent of change. The book addresses context in a narrow sense, i.e. a person's life situation and local, situational characteristics. It also deals with wider contexts such as social, industry, cultural, ethnic, sustainability-related, institutional, and historical contexts. The book studies the interconnectedness of all these various sub-contexts. It zooms in on the actions that entrepreneurs take to involve, engage, and influence their context and shows the changing and dynamic nature of context. It provides lessons for entrepreneurs about which contextual elements should be prioritized, engaged and sought out.
