There is a hidden question at the heart of media studies, so fundamental that it has largely remained implicit and unexamined. Where do you end, and where do media begin? In Media in Mind, author Daniel Reynolds draws upon naturalist philosophies of the mind from John Dewey through contemporary theories of embodied and extended cognition to make the case that the lines separating media from the minds of their users are not blurry or variable so much as they never existed to begin with.Through analyses of films and video games from 1900 to the present, Media in Mind shows how media forms and technologies challenge dominant models of perception and mental representation, and how they complicate theoretical understanding of concepts like the platform and the interface. In order to do justice to the profound and literally mind-changing power of media, Reynolds argues, we need to think not so much about the relationship between media and the mind as about the roles that media play in our minds. Through this crucial distinction, Media in Mind surveys more than a century of media theory to illustrate the ways that scholars of film and digital media have situated and reconsidered a series of divisions between media, user, and world, and how these these conceptual divisions have reflected and inflected their ways of understanding the mind.

Global Byzantium

Global Byzantium is, in part, a recasting and expansion of the old ‘Byzantium and its neighbours’ theme with, however, a methodological twist away from the resolutely political and toward the cultural and economic. A second thing that Global Byzantium – as a concept – explicitly endorses is comparative methodology. Global Byzantium needs also to address three further issues: cultural capital, the importance of the local, and the empire’s strategic geographical location. Cultural capital: in past decades it was fashionable to define Byzantium as culturally superior to western Christian Europe, and Byzantine influence was a key concept, especially in art historical circles. This concept has been increasingly criticised, and what we now see emerging is a comparative methodology that relies on the concept of ‘competitive sharing’, not blind copying but rather competitive appropriation. The importance of the local is equally critical. We need to talk more about what the Byzantines saw when they ‘looked out’, and what others saw in Byzantium when they ‘looked in’ and to think about how that impacted on our, very post-modern, concepts of globalism. Finally, we need to think about the empire’s strategic geographical position: between the fourth and the thirteenth centuries, if anyone was travelling internationally, they had to travel across (or along the coasts of) the Byzantine Empire. Byzantium was thus a crucial intermediary, for good or for ill, between Europe, Africa, and Asia – effectively, the glue that held the Christian world together, and it was also a critical transit point between the various Islamic polities and the Christian world.

Charter of Rights for Australia

New Edition

Australia does not have a bill or charter of rights, which means there is no comprehensive law that enshrines human rights in Australia – even though these laws are standard in the rest of the developed world. So what does this mean for the rights of Australian citizens?In this fully revised fourth edition of A Charter of Rights for Australia, George Williams and Daniel Reynolds show that human rights are not adequately protected in Australia, contrary to what many of us think. Using some pressing examples, they demonstrate how the rights of people at the margins of our society are violated in often shocking ways.Several states and territories have adopted their own charters of rights, or have a charter well underway. This book’s argument that the time has come to adopt a charter at the federal level is more urgent than ever.Sales PointsGeorge Williams is one of the foremost legal commentators on the issue of a bill/charter of rights in Australia – one prominent opponent, Janet Albrechtsen, called him the ‘high priest of the Bill of Rights movement’.Freedom of speech and human rights of Australians have been prominent issues in the media – anti-terror laws, abuses in the Northern Territory juvenile corrections system, Indigenous deaths in custody, same-sex marriage, section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act, etc – so this revised edition is timely.The movement for charters of rights is growing, as evidenced by Victoria and the ACT implementing their own state-based charters of rights.Lays out the arguments for and against a charter of rights clearly and comprehensively.

Iconoclasm : rejecting the past

Rejecting the Past

Inbunden, Engelska, 2024

274 kr

Skickas

Ikonoklasm, eller bildstormande, är en del av vår historia: från förstörelsen av religiösa bilder under den tidiga kristendomen till dagens nedrivning av statyer på sydstatsgeneraler och slavhandlare. Bilder, byggnader och föremål som strider mot religiös eller ideologisk övertygelse måste förstöras. De som utför rensningen, ikonoklasterna, är övertygade om att de utför en reningsaktion. Det förflutna välts över ända i en önskan att börja om från början.

De olika bidragen till antologin Ikonoklasm förkastandet av det förflutna visar med all önskvärd tydlighet konsekvenserna. Inte bara ovärderliga kulturskatter utan också människoliv går förlorade när fanatismen får fritt spelrum. Vi ser det när Islamiska staten slår sönder flera tusen år gamla museiföremål, när Maos rödgardister bränner böcker och förföljer oliktänkande under den kinesiska kulturrevolutionen eller när ryska bolsjeviker spränger kyrkor och skändar ikoner. Exemplen på de destruktiva krafternas skadegörelse genom seklen kan mångfaldigas. Att ikonoklasmens stridsrop ljuder så starkt i vår tid visar på dess fortsatta lockelse. Ikonoklasm förkastandet av det förflutna är en varningsklocka, ett larm för hotet mot det demokratiska samhällets tolerans och öppenhet.
