But only eighteen days later-after a series of damaging public revelations and feverish behind-the-scenes maneuverings-McGovern rescinded his endorsement of his Democratic vice-presidential running mate, and Eagleton withdrew from the ticket. This fascinating book is the first to uncover the full story behind Eagleton's rise and precipitous fall as a national candidate.Within days of Eagleton's nomination, a pair of anonymous phone calls brought to light his history of hospitalizations for "nervous exhaustion and depression" and past treatment with electroshock therapy. The revelation rattled the campaign and placed McGovern's organization under intense public and media scrutiny. Joshua Glasser investigates a campaign in disarray and explores the perspectives of the campaign's key players, how decisions were made and who made them, how cultural attitudes toward mental illness informed the crisis, and how Eagleton's and McGovern's personal ambitions shaped the course of events.Drawing on personal interviews with McGovern, campaign manager Gary Hart, political director Frank Mankiewicz, and dozens of other participants inside and outside the McGovern and Eagleton camps-as well as extensive unpublished campaign records-Glasser captures the political and human drama of Eagleton's brief candidacy. Glasser also offers sharp insights into the America of 1972-mired in war, anxious about the economy, ambivalent about civil rights.PresidentsUnited StatesElection1972United StatesPolitics and government1969-1974PresidentsElection973.924Glasser Joshua M.1987-1519659MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910779139303321The eighteen-day running mate3757891UNINA03464nam 22005295 450 991040998660332120200703174747.0981-15-5069-710.1007/978-981-15-5069-0(CKB)5310000000016643(MiAaPQ)EBC6231633(DE-He213)978-981-15-5069-0(EXLCZ)99531000000001664320200619d2020 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierEmbodying Data Chinese Aesthetics, Interactive Visualization and Gaming Technologies /by Qi Li1st ed. 2020.Singapore :Springer Singapore :Imprint: Springer,2020.1 online resource (xxi, 182 pages) illustrations981-15-5068-9 Introduction -- Data Visualisation and Aesthetics: Cross-Cultural Perspectives -- A Traditional Chinese Aesthetics of Data Visualisation -- Implementing the Aesthetic Model -- Taoist Data Visualisation -- Conclusion -- References -- Appendices.This book investigates a new interactive data visualisation concept that employs traditional Chinese aesthetics as a basis for exploring contemporary digital technological contexts. It outlines the aesthetic approach, which draws on non-Western aesthetic concepts, specifically the Yijing and Taoist cosmological principles, and discusses the development of data-based digital practices within a theoretical framework that combines traditional Taoist ideas with the digital humanities. The book also offers a critique of the Western aesthetics underpinning data visualisation, in particular the Kantian sublime, which prioritises the experience of power over the natural world viewed at a distance. Taoist philosophy, in contrast, highlights the integration of the surface of the body and the surface of nature as a Taoist body, rather than promoting an opposition of mind and body. The book then explores the transformational potential between the human body and technology, particularly in creating an aesthetic approach spanning traditional Chinese aesthetics and gesture-based technology. Representing a valuable contribution to the digital humanities, the book helps readers understand data-based artistic practices, while also bringing the ideas of traditional Chinese aesthetics to Western audiences. In addition, it will be of interest to practitioners in the fields of digital art and data visualisation seeking new models. .AestheticsHumanities—Digital librariesGraphic designAestheticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E11000Digital Humanitieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/836000Interaction Designhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/K19030Aesthetics.Humanities—Digital libraries.Graphic design.Aesthetics.Digital Humanities.Interaction Design.001.4226Li Qiauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut506902MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910409986603321Embodying Data2195590UNINA
