Paperback. Condizione: New. For decades, we have been told we live in the "information age"-a time when disruptive technological advancement has reshaped the categories and social uses of knowledge and when quantitative assessment is increasingly privileged. Such methodologies and concepts of information are usually considered the provenance of the natural and social sciences, which present them as politically and philosophically neutral. Yet the humanities should and do play an important role in interpreting and critiquing the historical, cultural, and conceptual nature of information.This book is one of two companion volumes that explore theories and histories of information from a humanistic perspective. They consider information as a long-standing feature of social, cultural, and conceptual management, a matter of social practice, and a fundamental challenge for the humanities today. Bringing together essays by prominent critics, Information: Keywords highlights the humanistic nature of information practices and concepts by thinking through key terms. It describes and anticipates directions for how the humanities can contribute to our understanding of information from a range of theoretical, historical, and global perspectives. Together with Information: A Reader, it sets forth a major humanistic vision of the concept of information.…

Hardcover. Condizione: New. In shrinkwrap. Quarto. Hardcover. Bound in pink and green cloth with color plate mounted to the center front board. No jacket, as issued. 157 pages : color illustrations ; 29 cm. "An exploration of how the biblical heroine Queen Esther, a symbol of resilience and a figure of immense popularity, was portrayed in seventeenth-century Dutch art. In the age of Rembrandt van Rijn, the biblical Book of Esther was a popular source of inspiration for diverse communities in the Netherlands, both Jewish and Christian. Traditionally, the Esther story is read annually on the Jewish holiday of Purim. For immigrant Jewish communities living with new freedom in more tolerant Amsterdam, celebrating Purim--notably through finely produced Esther scrolls and theater productions-became a meaningful expression of Jewish culture. For the Dutch, Queen Esther's heroism came to represent their emerging nation's identity. Rembrandt and his contemporaries depicted essential scenes of Esther's story in paintings, prints, drawings, and decorative arts. Examining how Esther was represented in art and popular culture in Rembrandt's time, this beautifully illustrated volume includes essays that discuss the visual culture and ceremonial art of Purim and examine the queen's status as a heroine in seventeenth-century Netherlands. A postscript reveals Esther's continued appeal through a close look at work by contemporary American artist Fred Wilson, who reimagines the biblical heroine as the abolitionist Harriet Tubman. Published in association with the Jewish Museum, New York, and the North Carolina Museum of Art, Raleigh"-- Provided by publisher.…
