Sense of Place and Sense of Planet: The Environmental Imagination of the Global

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Sense of Place and Sense of Planet analyzes the relationship between the imagination of the global and the ethical commitment to the local in environmentalist thought and writing from the 1960s to the present. Part One critically examines the emphasis on local identities and communities in North American environmentalism by establishing conceptual connections between environmentalism and ecocriticism, on one hand, and theories of globalization, transnationalism and cosmopolitanism, on the other. It proposes the concept of `eco-cosmopolitanism` as a shorthand for envisioning these connections and the cultural and aesthetic forms into which they translate. Part Two focuses on conceptualizations of environmental danger and connects environmentalist and ecocritical thought with the interdisciplinary field of risk theory in the social sciences, arguing that environmental justice theory and ecocriticism stand to benefit from closer consideration of the theories of cosmopolitanism that have… [detailed...]

The book is divided into six interpretations of man`s relationship to Nature. These categories are represented through paintings which characterize the human senses through careful depictions of animals and insects, and luscious portraals of fruit and flowers. A unique school of art, the pieces in this collection of still life paintings were selected not only for their mastership but also richness in subject matter. [detailed...]

Sensemaking in Organizations (Foundations for Organizational Science)

Description: The teaching of organization theory and the conduct of organizational research have been dominated by a focus on decision-making and the concept of strategic rationality. However, the rational model ignores the inherent complexity and ambiguity of real-world organizations and their environments. In this landmark volume, Karl E Weick highlights how the `sensemaking` process shapes organizational structure and behaviour. The process is seen as the creation of reality as an ongoing accomplishment that takesform when people make retrospective sense of the situations in which they find themselves. [detailed...]

Sensorium: Embodied Experience, Technology, and Contemporary Art

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The relationship between the body and electronic technology, extensively theorized through the 1980s and 1990s, has reached a new technosensual comfort zone in the early twenty-first century. In Sensorium , contemporary artists and writers explore the implications of the techno-human interface. Ten artists, chosen by an international team of curators, offer their own edgy investigations of embodied technology and the technologized body. These range from Matthieu Briand`s experiment in `controlled schizophrenia` and Janet Cardiff and Georges Bures Miller`s uneasy psychological soundscapes to Bruce Nauman`s uncanny night visions and FranA§ois Roche`s destabilized architecture. The art in Sensorium --which accompanies an exhibition at the MIT List Visual Arts Center--captures the aesthetic attitude of this hybrid moment, when modernist segmentation of the senses is giving way to dramatic multisensory mixes or transpositions. Artwork by each artist appears with an analytical… [detailed...]

Sensory Biographies: Lives and Deaths among Nepal`s Yolmo Buddhists

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionRobert Desjarlais`s graceful ethnography explores the life histories of two Yolmo elders, focusing on how particular sensory orientations and modalities have contributed to the making and the telling of their lives. These two are a woman in her late eighties known as Kisang Omu and a Buddhist priest in his mid-eighties known as Ghang Lama, members of an ethnically Tibetan Buddhist people whose ancestors have lived for three centuries or so along the upper ridges of the Yolmo Valley in north central Nepal. It was clear through their many conversations that both individuals perceived themselves as nearing death, and both were quite willing to share their thoughts about death and dying. The difference between the two was remarkable, however, in that Ghang Lama`s life had been dominated by motifs of vision, whereas Kisang Omu`s accounts of her life largely involved a `theatre of voices.` Desjarlais offers a fresh and readable inquiry into how people`s ways of sensing the… [detailed...]

Sensory Design

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionWhat if we designed for all of our senses? Suppose for a moment that sound, touch, and odor were treated as the equals of sight, and emotion considered as important as cognition. What would our built environment be like if sensory response, sentiment, and memory were critical design factors, the equals of structure and program? In Sensory Design, Joy Monice Malnar and Frank Vodvarka explore the nature of our responses to spatial constructs-from various sorts of buildings to gardens and outdoor spaces, to constructions of fantasy. To the degree that this response can be calculated, it can serve as a typology for the design of significant spaces, one that would sharply contrast with the Cartesian model that dominates architecture today. In developing this typology, the authors consult the environmental sciences, anthropology, psychology, and architectural theory, as well as the spatial analysis found in literary depiction. Finally, they examine the opportunities… [detailed...]
