Vita Sexualis: Karl Ulrichs and the Origins of Sexual Science
Author: Ralph M. Leck
File Type: pdf
Karl Ulrichss studies of sexual diversity galvanized the burgeoning field of sexual science in the nineteenth century. But in the years since, his groundbreaking activism has overshadowed his scholarly achievements. Ulrichs publicly defied Prussian law to agitate for gay equality and marriage, and founded the worlds first organization dedicated to the legal and social emancipation of homosexuals. Ralph M. Leck returns Ulrichs to his place as the inventor of the science of sexual heterogeneity. Lecks analysis situates sexual science in a context that includes politics, aesthetics, the languages of science, and the ethics of gender. Although he was the greatest nineteenth-century scholar of sexual heterogeneity, Ulrichs retained certain traditional conjectures about gender. Leck recognizes these subtleties and employs the analytical concepts of modernist vita sexualis and traditional psychopathia sexualis to articulate philosophical and cultural differences among sexologists. Original and audacious, Vita Sexualis uses a bedrock figures scientific and political innovations to open new insights into the history of sexual science, legal systems, and Western amatory codes. **

A PEO
10166
Author: Chris Harman
File Type: epub
Chris Harman describes the shape and course of human history as a narrative of ordinary people forming and re-forming complex societies in pursuit of common human goals. Interacting with the forces of technological change as well as the impact of powerful individuals and revolutionary ideas, these societies have engendered events familiar to every schoolchildfrom the empires of antiquity to the world wars of the twentieth century. In a bravura conclusion, Chris Harman exposes the reductive complacency of contemporary capitalism, and asks, in a world riven as never before by suffering and inequality, why we imagine that it canor shouldsurvive much longer. Ambitious, provocative and invigorating, A Peoples History of the World delivers a vital corrective to traditional history, as well as a powerful sense of the deep currents of humanity which surge beneath the froth of government.ReviewI have had many people ask me if there is a book which does for world history what my book A Peoples History of the United States does for this country. I always responded that I know of only one book that accomplishes this extremely difficult task, and that is Chris Harmans A Peoples History of the World. It is an indispensable volume on my reference bookshelf.Howard Zinn The left ... has few accounts which convey as well as this book does the broad sweep of human history.Robin Blackburn About the AuthorChris Harman (19422009) was the author of numerous books including A Peoples History of the World, The Fire Last Time 1968 and After and The Lost Revolution Germany 191823.

VIRTU
148173
Author: Peter B. Andersen
File Type: pdf
3D Virtual Applications Applications with Virtual Inhabited 3D Worlds deals with the use of virtual inhabited 3D spaces in different domains of society. (Other volumes deal with interaction, production methodology and space.) From focusing on virtual reality (a reality into which users and objects from the real world should be moved) we are increasingly focusing on augmented reality (i.e. on moving computers out into the reality of real users, objects and activities). This book deals with the use of virtual inhabited 3D spaces in both contexts. Based on the structuring of the application domains, this book looks at the use of VR and augmented reality in the following major application domains -Production oriented applications - use of VR and augmented reality for control of complex production plants, for navigation support (ships, cars, aeroplanes) and for support of collaborative work processes -Communication support applications - virtual spaces are used for supporting communication in learning environments and for support of organisational communication. Also virtual spaces are used for supporting the navigation of people in public spaces, i.e. as maps, planning tools -Scientific applications - use of 3D models for medical research use of dynamic models for representation of abstract concepts and ideas (data-mining applications) use of dynamic 3D models for simulating biological or social processes -Artistic and cultural applications - the construction of stages representing concepts andor emotions **

THE P
136174
Author: Simon Rennie
File Type: pdf
As the last leader of the Chartist movement, Ernest Charles Jones (1819-69) is a significant historical figure, but he is just as well-known for his political verse. His prison-composed epic The New World lays claim to being the first poetic exploration of Marxist historical materialism, and his caustic short lyric The Song of the Low appears in most modern anthologies of Victorian poetry. Despite the prominence of Joness verse in Labour history circles, and several major inclusions in critical discussions of working-class Victorian literature, this volume represents the first full-length study of his poetry. Through close analysis and careful contextualization, this work traces Joness poetic development from his early German and British Romantic influences through his radicalization, imprisonment, and years of leadership. The poetry of this complex and controversial figure is here fully mapped for the first time. **About the Author Simon Rennie is Lecturer in Victorian Poetry at the University of Exeter.

POWER
105065
Author: Alvin Toffler
File Type: pdf
While headlines today focus on the tremendous shifts of power at the global level, the author says that equally significant, but largly unnoticed, shifts of power are taking place in the intimate, everyday world we inhabit -- the world of supermarkets and hospitals, banks and business offices, television and telephones. Power shifts are transforming finance, politics, and the media, together creating a now radically different society. The very nature of power is changing.

DEREK
62422
Author: Christopher Balme
File Type: pdf
During the same period in which Derek Walcott was pouring immense physical, emotional, and logistical resources into the foundation of a viable first-rate West Indian theatre company and continuing to write his inimitable poetry, he was also busy writing newspaper reviews, chiefly for the Trinidad Guardian. His prodigious reviewing activity extended far beyond those areas with which one might most readily associate his interests and convictions. As Gordon Rohlehr once presciently observed, If one wants to see a quotidian workaday Walcott, one should go back to [his] well over five hundred articles, essays and reviews on painting, cinema, calypso, carnival, drama and literature, articles which reveal a rich, various, witty and scrupulous intelligence in which generous humour counterpoints acerbity. These articles capture the vitality of Caribbean culture and shed additional light on the aesthetic preoccupations expressed in Walcotts essays published in journals. The editors have examined the corpus of Walcotts journalistic activity from its beginnings in 1950 to its peak in the early 1970s, and have made a generous selection of material from the Guardian, along with occasional pieces from such sources as Public Opinion (Kingston) and The Voice of St. Lucia (Castries). The articles in Volume 2 are organized as follows the performing arts general surveys of anglophone Caribbean drama, theatre, and society festivals, theatre companies, and productions British and American drama dance and music theatre Carnival and calypso and cinema screenings in Trinidad. Volume 2 additionally contains an exhaustive annotated and cross-referenced chronological bibliography of Walcotts journalism up to 1990. The co-editor Christopher Balme has written a searching introductory essay on a central theme - here, a survey of West Indian theatre and Walcotts engagement with it, particularly the idea of a National Theatre, coupled with an illustrative discussion of the playwrights seminal dramatic spectacle Drums and Colours.**

PITCA
102948
Author: Ian M. Ball
File Type: pdf
From dust jacket notes The mutiny on the Bounty Hollywood and the best-selling literary treatments made it seem like fiction. But it was real. The descendants of the Bounty mutineers and their Tahitian concubines have populated tiny, remote Pitcairn Island in the South Seas for nearly two centuries. The saga of their origin and evolution constitutes the greatest sea adventure story in Western history and literature - and Pitcairn Children of Mutiny is the fascinating last chapter in that story. Pitcairn Children of Mutiny is both a dramatic reassessment of the celebrated mutiny and a unique examination of the almost totally isolated Pitcairn way of life today. Author Ian M. Ball reviewed the documentation that survives in British, American and Australian archives, traveled to Pitcairn itself, and in Part I, he presents a portrait of the mutiny startlingly different than any we have seen before....
