Debunking the myths, resuscitating the discipline : the future of social anthropology in Zimbabwe -- 7. Conclusion. 330 $aThis is a book on the state of social anthropology as an academic discipline in contemporary Zimbabwe. The authors are frustrated and disheartened by a problematic visibility and sluggish growth of the discipline in the country. The book makes an important claim that the future and vibrancy of anthropology in Zimbabwe, lies in how well anthropologists in the country and in the diaspora are able to join efforts in articulating, debating and enhancing its relevance and vitality. The book provides critical overview and nuanced analyses of the role and continued relevance of the discipline in reading and interpreting the social unfolding of everyday life and dynamism. It is a vital text for understanding and contextualising histories and trends in the development of social anthropology in Zimbabwe and how anthropologists in the country navigate the tumultuous waters and struggles that have engrossed the discipline since colonial times. The book has the capacity to generate added insights and influence national, continental, and global debates and trends in the field. 606 $aEthnology$xStudy and teaching (Higher)$zZimbabwe 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEthnology$xStudy and teaching (Higher) 676 $a305.80071 700 $aMawere$b Munyaradzi$0857215 702 $aNhemachena$b Artwell 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910467667703321 996 $aDeath of a Discipline?

Can they find common ground? In this new book, neuroscientist Eric R. Kandel, whose remarkable scientific career and deep interest in art give him a unique perspective, demonstrates how science can inform the way we experience a work of art and seek to understand its meaning. Kandel illustrates how reductionism?the distillation of larger scientific or aesthetic concepts into smaller, more tractable components?has been used by scientists and artists alike to pursue their respective truths. He draws on his Nobel Prize-winning work revealing the neurobiological underpinnings of learning and memory in sea slugs to shed light on the complex workings of the mental processes of higher animals. In Reductionism in Art and Brain Science, Kandel shows how this radically reductionist approach, applied to the most complex puzzle of our time?the brain?has been employed by modern artists who distill their subjective world into color, form, and light. Kandel demonstrates through bottom-up sensory and top-down cognitive functions how science can explore the complexities of human perception and help us to perceive, appreciate, and understand great works of art. At the heart of the book is an elegant elucidation of the contribution of reductionism to the evolution of modern art and its role in a monumental shift in artistic perspective. Reductionism steered the transition from figurative art to the first explorations of abstract art reflected in the works of Turner, Monet, Kandinsky, Schoenberg, and Mondrian. Kandel explains how, in the postwar era, Pollock, de Kooning, Rothko, Louis, Turrell, and Flavin used a reductionist approach to arrive at their abstract expressionism and how Katz, Warhol, Close, and Sandback built upon the advances of the New York School to reimagine figurative and minimal art. Featuring captivating drawings of the brain alongside full-color reproductions of modern art masterpieces, this book draws out the common concerns of science and art and how they illuminate each other. 606 $aArt$xPsychology 606 $aReductionism 606 $aVisual perception 606 $aNeurosciences and the arts 615 0$aArt$xPsychology. 615 0$aReductionism. 615 0$aVisual perception. 615 0$aNeurosciences and the arts. 676 $a700.1/9 700 $aKandel$b Eric R.$067166 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798700003321 996 $aReductionism in art and brain science$93830148 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04527nam 2200829 450 001 9910813099803321 005 20230912144350.0 010 $a1-282-00301-1 010 $a9786612003011 010 $a1-4426-7300-1 024 7 $a10.3138/9781442673007 035 $a(CKB)2420000000003939 035 $a(EBL)3250386 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000291738 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12113913 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000291738 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10254102 035 $a(PQKB)11167254 035 $a(CaPaEBR)417565 035 $a(CaBNvSL)thg00600090 035 $a(DE-B1597)464326 035 $a(OCoLC)946712734 035 $a(DE-B1597)9781442673007 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL4671350 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11257066 035 $a(OCoLC)958513522 035 $a(VaAlCD)20.500.12592/k19z0f 035 $a(schport)gibson_crkn/2009-12-01/6/417565 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4671350 035 $a(OCoLC)1380845214 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)musev2_104581 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3250386 035 $a(EXLCZ)992420000000003939 100 $a20160926h19941994 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe classical tradition in operation $eChaucer / Virgil, Shakespeare / Plautus, Pope / Horace, Tennyson / Lucretius, Pound / Propertius /$fNiall Rudd 210 1$aToronto, [Ontario] ;$aBuffalo, [New York] ;$aLondon, [England] :$cUniversity of Toronto Press,$d1994. 210 4$dİ1994 215 $a1 online resource (199 p.) 225 1 $aRobson Classical Lectures 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-8020-0570-5 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references. 327 $aForeword -- Preface -- Chaucer and Virgil -- Shakespeare and Plautus -- Pope and Horace -- Tennyson and Lucretius -- Pound and Propertius -- Professor Hale and Homage as a document of cultural transition. 330 $aIn these five essays Niall Rudd presents an eclectic set of comparisons between certain ancient authors and later English writers ranging from Chaucer to Pound. He shows how five English writers consciously used and adapted classical works, and in so doing he illuminates both the classical authors and their English imitators and admirers. Readable translations and summaries of the Latin sources make these stimulating studies accessible even to scholars and students with little or no Latin.The first essay compares Chaucer's treatment of Dido in The House of Fame and The Legend of Good Women with Virgil's presentation of Dido in the Aeneid, and Ovid's in Heroides 7. The second essay, comparing Shakespeare's The Comedy of Errors with Plautus' Menaechmi, demonstrates how Shakespeare, weaving Roman farce into the framework of Hellenistic romance, developed both genres into something richer and more complex. The third essay on Pope's Epistle to Augustus shows his conversion of Horace's praise of Augustus into an anti-royalist attack on George II. In the fourth essay, Rudd discusses how much of Tennyson's Lucretius is invented and imported by Tennyson as a way of externalizing the inner conflicts he experienced in the age of doubt. The final essay, on Pound and Propertius, looks at Pound's representation of the Latin poet in Homage to Sextus Propertius, specifically in the areas of imperial politics, love, and language.In his preface Rudd writes: 'Everyone knows of the Classical Tradition - comprehending it is another matter.' This book brings it closer to our understanding. 410 0$aRobson classical lectures. 606 $aEnglish literature$xRoman influences 606 $aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aComparative literature$xEnglish and Latin 606 $aComparative literature$xLatin and English 606 $aClassicism$zGreat Britain 607 $aRome$xIn literature 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xRoman influences. 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aComparative literature$xEnglish and Latin. 615 0$aComparative literature$xLatin and English. 615 0$aClassicism 676 $a821.009142 700 $aRudd$b Niall$0186545 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813099803321 996 $aClassical tradition in operation$9864654 997 $aUNINA
