Genealogy of one of the most ancient and influential concepts in western thought: Mimesis Imitation is, perhaps more than ever, constitutive of human originality. Many things have changed since the emergence of an original species called Homo sapiens, but in the digital age humans remain mimetic creatures: from the development of consciousness to education, aesthetics to politics, mirror neurons to brain plasticity, digital simulations to emotional contagion, (new) fascist insurrections to viral contagion, we are unconsciously formed, deformed, and transformed by the all too human tendency to imitate-for both good and ill. Crossing disciplines as diverse as philosophy, aesthetics, and politics, Homo Mimeticus proposes a new theory of one of the most influential concepts in western thought (mimesis) to confront some of the hypermimetic challenges of the present and future. Written in an accessible yet rigorous style, Homo Mimeticus appeals to both a specialized and general readership. It can be used in courses of modern and contemporary philosophy, aesthetics, political theory, literary criticism/theory, media studies, and new mimetic studies. Ebook available in Open Access. This publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content). |

The ICE Conditions continues to be the dominant form of contract for civil engineering, despite the growing importance of the New Engineering Contract. The Seventh Edition of the ICE Conditions, published in 1999, introduced a number of changes, including: ? incorporating some of the concepts of the Latham Report ? amending certain provisions of the Sixth Edition which had attracted criticism ? rectifying conspicuous omissions from the text of earlier editions of the contract ? correcting small errors and faults from the previous edition ? modernising certain |
