Food Feasting and Table Manners in the Late Middle Ages Volume I: The Iberian Peninsula in the European Context

Food Feasting and Table Manners in the Late Middle Ages Volume I: The Iberian Peninsula in the European Context

This book offers a study of what and how people ate in the Iberian Peninsula between the twelfth and fifteenth centuries. It has long been recognized that Mediterranean cultures attach great importance to communal meals and food cooked with great refinement. However whilst medieval feasting in England France and Italy has been thoroughly studied Spain and Portugal have both been somewhat neglected in this area of study. This volume analyses how medieval men of the Iberian Peninsula questioned themselves about different aspects deemed important in social feasting. It investigates the acquisition of table manners and rhetorical skills the interaction between medicine and eating and the presence of food in literature and religion. The book also shows how this shared society and culture as well as their attitude towards food connected them to a Western European tradition. The book will appeal to scholars and students alike interested in food and feasting from the perspectives of literature history language art religion and medicine and to those interested in a social cultural and literary overview of life in the Iberian Peninsula during the late Middle Ages. | Food Feasting and Table Manners in the Late Middle Ages Volume I: The Iberian Peninsula in the European Context

Italian Renaissance Art

Italian Renaissance Art

The chronology of the Italian Renaissance its character and context have long been a topic of discussion among scholars. Some date its beginnings to the fourteenthcentury work of Giotto others to the generation of Masaccio Brunelleschi and Donatello that fl ourished from around 1400. The close of the Renaissance has also proved elusive. Mannerism for example is variously considered to be an independent (but subsidiary) late aspect of Renaissance style or a distinct style in its own right. | Italian Renaissance Art

Developing Iran Company Towns Architecture and the Global Powers

Developing Iran Company Towns Architecture and the Global Powers

This book examines the emergence of modern company towns in Iran by delineating the architectural political and industrial histories of three distinct resource-based ‘company town’ projects built in association with the ‘Big Three’ powers of World War II. The book’s narrative builds upon a tripartite research design that chronologically traces the formation and development of the oil steel and copper industries respectively favoured by Great Britain the Soviet Union and the United States in this part of the world. By applying three sets of comparative studies the book provides critical vantage points to three different ideological design paradigms: postcolonial regionalism socialist universalism and rationalist modern nation building. From a global political context the book contributes to the disclosure of new information about the geopolitical confrontation of these three nations in the Global South to increase their sphere of influence after the Second World War. Furthermore it demonstrates how postwar architectural modernism was adopted by each power and adapted to their ideological mind frame to fulfil distinct social cultural political and economic targets. This book examines multiple interconnections between architecture politics and industrial development by adopting a transdisciplinary approach based on comprehensive fieldwork site surveys and the analysis of original multilingual documents. As such it will be of interest to researchers and students of architecture history international relations and Middle Eastern studies. | Developing Iran Company Towns Architecture and the Global Powers

Essence and Energies: Being and Naming God in St Gregory Palamas

Essence and Energies: Being and Naming God in St Gregory Palamas

St. Gregory Palamas (ca. 1296–1357) is among the most well-known and celebrated theologians of late Byzantium. This book provides a comprehensive account of the essence-energies distinction across his twenty-five treatises and letters written over a twenty-year period. An Athonite monk abbot and later Metropolitan of Thessalonica Gregory is remembered especially for his distinction between God’s essence and energies and his celebrated doctrine still generates a great deal of debate. What does Palamas actually mean by the term energies? Are they ‘activities’ that God performs and if so how can they be eternal and uncreated? Indeed how could God be simple if he possesses energies distinct from his essence? Going beyond the Triads and the One Hundred and Fifty Chapters this book explores Palamas’s answers to these long-standing questions by analyzing all of the treatises produced by Palamas between the years 1338 and 1357. It seeks to understand what Palamas means when he speaks of God’s energies how he seeks to prove that they are distinct from the divine essence and how he explains that this distinction in no way violates the unity and simplicity of the one God in Trinity. Essence and Energies is a useful resource for upper-level undergraduates postgraduates and scholars interested in Byzantine theology in the fourteenth century. | Essence and Energies: Being and Naming God in St Gregory Palamas

The Paradoxical Structure of Existence

The Paradoxical Structure of Existence

For metaphysicians who have imbibed the sober and inebriating teachings of Thomas Aquinas existence is an act the act which makes all things actually to be. As the act of existence makes things to be essence makes them to be what they are. Essence and the act of existence in other words are really distinct yet together they compose each of the things that are. Such an understanding involves a number of paradoxes and Frederick D. Wilhelmsen's articulation of them reveals his philosophical genius. These paradoxes include the fact that the act of existence does not exist that it can be thought but not conceived by the mind and that truths about God can be known while He himself remains absolutely unknown. Wilhelmsen argues the notion that the Christian faith and philosophical reason harmonize while remaining completely distinct from each other. Writing in a captivating style Wilhelmsen begins with a discussion of the development strengths and limitations of the ancient Greek philosophical accounts of being. Following that he develops such key topics as the problem of existence St. Thomas Aquinas' understanding of being critical analyses of Hegel's and Heidegger's doctrines of being existence as towards God and a metaphysical approach to the human person. The final two chapters develop the sense in which metaphysical thinking is and is not shaped by historical and social factors. | The Paradoxical Structure of Existence

Kinship Bereavement in Later Life A Special Issue of Omega - Journal of Death and Dying

Kinship Bereavement in Later Life A Special Issue of Omega - Journal of Death and Dying

This collection of articles is an outgrowth of the Death Dying Bereavement and Widowhood Interest Group of the Gerontological Society of America and comprises empirical accounts of several distinct family losses: the death of a spouse sibling parent child and grandchild. These articles represent normative and non-normative losses; the juxtaposition of short-term and long- term bereavement reactions; cross-sectional and longitudinal comparisons; sociological psychological and psycholinguistic research paradigms; national and regional level data; and qualitative and quantitative analytic strategies. The articles and their approaches are as diverse and varied as are the experiences they describe yet each contributes something of value to the more singular and superordinate goal of understanding kinship bereavement in the later years. | Kinship Bereavement in Later Life A Special Issue of Omega - Journal of Death and Dying

Sexually Explicit Art Feminist Theory and Gender in the 1970s

Sexually Explicit Art Feminist Theory and Gender in the 1970s

Structured around sexual desire as the central analytical category this monograph systematically approaches a heterogeneous array of artworks to purposefully examine the entanglements of art feminist theory gender and sexuality. This book considers the potential of sexually explicit art to challenge a socially constructed conception of sexuality as well as gender and explores the sexually explicit as a means to (re-)claim agency for marginalized subjectivities and to emancipate desire from within the patriarchal and heteronormative system. In distinct case studies the author focuses on works by four US-American artists – Robert Mapplethorpe Joan Semmel Betty Tompkins and Tee A. Corinne – and situates them in relation to contemporaneous debates associated with the insurgent Sexual Liberation Movements of the 1970s. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history visual culture and gender and sexuality studies. | Sexually Explicit Art Feminist Theory and Gender in the 1970s

Wuthnow divides the essays collected here into three distinct ‘vocabularies. ’ Part I examines the ways in which religious and scientific languages function as vocabularies of conviction in public life Part II focuses on music and art as vocabularies of expression and Part III considers law ideology and public policy as vocabularies of persuasion. The contributors discuss such diverse subjects as American spiritualism the syntax of modern dance and the social contexts of number one songs. What unifies the book is the common concern with the concrete everyday manifestations of culture and the importance of understanding its basic structure. This book will be of interest to specialists and scholars of various disciplines such as linguistics literature media studies popular culture and sociology. | Vocabularies of Public Life Empirical Essays in Symbolic Structure

Demographic Targeting The Essential Role of Population Groups in Retail Marketing

Demographic Targeting The Essential Role of Population Groups in Retail Marketing

This title was first published in 2002: Retailers who ignore the demographics of their customers do so at their peril. Examining the role of age and gender in the behavior and patterns of shoppers this book looks at all shoppers as members of distinct demographic groups each of which marches to the beat of its own drum. We can say a lot about people and their shopping behavior simply by examining their demographic group membership. For example we can say that middle-aged shoppers have less time available for shopping but more money. Such ideas provide valuable information about how to sell to them. Demographic targeting is the key to success when it comes to modern retailing. This book takes a look at shopping from the perspective of demography and considers the demographic group to be a crucial concept for understanding the modern shopper. | Demographic Targeting The Essential Role of Population Groups in Retail Marketing

It isolates five key authors in the classical tradition and comprehensively explores their oeuvres for moments where they reflect on engage with and build from topics related to cognition placing their work in contact with research today to critically determine areas of relevance refutation or revision. Showing how understandings of mind brain and body grounded the production of early sociological thought the book draws attention to the foundational role theories of cognition played in the emergence of sociology as a distinct field of study. With chapters on Comte Marx Weber Durkheim and Mead The Cognitive Foundations of Classical Sociological Theory constitutes a novel and timely engagement with canonical social theory extending its application to contemporary social life. It will therefore appeal to scholars of sociology and psychology with interests in classical social theory cognition embodiment and sociality.
