Sommario/riassunto |
|
Global Tangos starts from the premise that Argentine tango may be used as a way to understand the profound transformations that have taken place as a result of two of the defining features of globalization: transnationalism and the rise of social media. This book argues against hackneyed Hollywood-centric notions of the dance and instead explores the meanings found in an unusual array of cultural narratives created in almost thirty countries around the world. |

This book details Lee's life from Gettysburg to his death just five years after the South's surrender at Appomattox. After the war, Lee sought to heal the nation, even meeting with his rival, Ulysses S. Grant, while he occupied the White House. Leaving his military life behind, Lee went on to become president of Washington College. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
The volume deals with the mechanisms of the oral communication in the ancient Greek culture. Considering the critical debate about orality, the analysis of the communicative system in a predominantly oral-aural ancient society implies a reassessment and a deep reconsideration of the traces which orality embedded in the texts transmitted to us. In particular, the focus is on the 'cultural message', a set of information which is processed and transmitted vertically as well as horizontally by a living being, so to be differently from a genetically encoded information, a culturally defined process. The survey intertwines different approaches: the methodologies of cognitivism, biology, ethology, to analyze the embrional processes of the cultural messages, and the tools of historical and literary analysis, to highlight the development of the cultural messages in the traditional knowledge, their codification, transmission, and evolutions in the dialectics between orality and writing. The reconstructed pattern of the mechanisms of cultural messages in a prevailing oral-aural system cast a light on a shadowy aspect of a sophisticated communication system that has long influenced European culture. |
