Walking the Walk: A Conclusion -- Works Cited -- IndexIn recent years, Canadian authors have enjoyed tremendous international success, writing novels that become Oscar-nominated films or achieve coveted success as selections for the Oprah Winfrey bookclub. Literary Celebrity in Canada is the first extended study of the dynamics of celebrity in the field of Canadian literature. Building on the argument that celebrity is a phenomenon firmly embraced by mainstream culture, Lorraine York examines it in relation to various tensions and conflicts within the literary community and beyond.Using as examples three contemporary literary celebrities, Margaret Atwood, Michael Ondaatje, and Carol Shields, and four earlier popular writers, Pauline Johnson, Stephen Leacock, Mazo de la Roche, and L.M. Montgomery, York demonstrates that individual authors respond differently to fame in ways that can be contradictory and complex. She casts doubt on the notion of a specifically Canadian response to fame. Depending on the public interpretation of a particular writer's life and work, different tensions arise in negotiating literary celebrity. Privacy versus publicity; swift success versus laborious apprenticeship; national versus international association, or ownership of the celebrity - no single version of celebrity applies to all.Citizenship, however, is a remarkably consistent site of tension for stars, literary or otherwise. Like citizenship, celebrity marks an uneasy space wherein the single, special individual and the group demographic both meet and separate. Literary Celebrity in Canada explores that space, drawing on current theories of celebrity and questioning their tendency to view fame as an empty phenomenon. This study is an innovative attempt to understand the psychology of literary stardom and will influence future research on contemporary literature and popular culture.AuthorshipSocial aspectsCanadaHistory20th centuryAuthors, Canadian20th centuryCase studiesCelebritiesCanadaCase studiesAuthors and readersCanadaHistory20th centuryLiterature and societyCanadaHistory20th centuryElectronic books.AuthorshipSocial aspectsHistoryAuthors, CanadianCelebritiesAuthors and readersHistoryLiterature and societyHistoryC810.9/005York Lorraine Mary1958-990082MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456398103321Literary celebrity in Canada2264608UNINA01266nam2 22003011i 450 UON0051881420231205105535.49936-308-7053-820231019d2000 |0itac50 bagerDE|||| |||||EssaysGesprache ; Reden ; Briefe 1975-1986Christa WolfMünchenLuchterland2000500 p.19 cm001UON005188012001 Werke in zwolf BandenChrista Wolfheraugegeben, kommentiert und mit einem Nachwort versehen von Sonja Hilzinger210 MünchenLuchterhand[1999-2001]215 12 volumi19 cm8NARRATIVA TEDESCAUONC084005FIDEMünchenUONL003025833Letteratura narrativa tedesca21WOLFChristaUONV120105132609LuchterhandUONV265643650ITSOL20240220RICASIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOUONSIUON00518814SIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOSI F.

It provides a groundbreaking ontology of computer science, while describing the processes, methodologies, and constructs needed to build high-quality, large-scale computer software systems on schedule and on budget.Based on his own experience in developing successful, low-cost software projects, the author makes a persuasive argument for developers to understand the philosophical underpinnings of software. He asserts that software in reality is an abstraction of the human thought system. The author draws from the seminal works of the great German philosophers--Kant, Hegel, and Schopenhauer--and recasts their theories of human mind and thought to create a unifying theory of computer science, cognitive dynamics, that opens the door to the next generation of computer science and forms the basic architecture for total autonomy.. Four detailed cases studies effectively demonstrate how philosophy and practice merge to meet the objective of high-quality, low-cost software.. The Autonomous Cognitive System chapter sets forth a model for a completely autonomous computer system, using the human thought system as the model for functional architecture and the human thought process as the model for the functional data process.. Although rooted in philosophy, this book is practical, addressing all the key areas that software professionals need to master in order to remain competitive and minimize costs, such as leadership, management, communication, and organization.This thought-provoking work will change the way students and professionals in computer science and software development conceptualize and perform their work. It provides them with both a philosophy and a set of practical tools to produce high-quality, low-cost software.Software engineeringSoftware engineering.005.1De Gyurky Szabolcs Michael1607171Tarbell Mark A1607172IEEE Computer Society.CaBNVSLCaBNVSLCaBNVSLBOOK9910830965403321The cognitive dynamics of computer science3933337UNINA
