Aesthetics across Cultures Intertextuality Intermediality and Interculturality

Aesthetics across Cultures Intertextuality Intermediality and Interculturality

This book critically examines the mutual illuminations between literature religion architecture films performative arts paintings woodworks memes and masks cutting across time and space. Architecture is a good example where the eventual success of a project depends on the harmony between physical sciences and aesthetics design and planning knowledge of building material the local climate and awareness of cultural sensibilities. This volume affirms that aesthetics and arts are deeply linked through existential issues of who I am.

T. A. Hoffmann • Hesse’s fairy tales; translations of Pañcatantra • Nietzsche ritual arts and face masks; martyrdom in La chanson de Roland • Goethe and Hafiz; Indian thought in Martin Buber • Rhythms of the Third across cultures • Dadaism and contemporary memes This book examines these sublime linkages in a comparative and interdisciplinary way. Engaging and intersectional this volume will appeal to students and scholars of arts and aesthetics literature philosophy architecture sociology translation studies and readers who are interested in cultural intertextual intermedial and comparative studies. | Aesthetics across Cultures Intertextuality Intermediality and Interculturality

Metamorphosis Steam CD Key

Metamorphosis Steam CD Key

Metamorphosis is a first-person adventure game with elements of platformer and logical productions. The small independent studio Ovid Works from Warsaw, which was founded by former employees of CD Projekt RED, is responsible for its creation. The team has also released the game Intercosmos, a space simulator of the work of an astronaut in the 1970s, intended for owners of VR goggles, released in 2017. The plot of Metamorphosis was loosely based on Franz Kafka's novel The Transformation, as well as other works by this author, including the most famous of them The Trial. Players take on the role of a man who, for unknown reasons, turned into a small insect. It happened at the worst time, because Józef - a friend of the unfortunate main character - was arrested. Despite the absurd situation in which we find ourselves, we set off in search of a way to return to our body. Only we are able to get our friend out of trouble. During the adventure, we explore a bizarre and surreal world resembling a nightmare. We observe the action in Metamorphosis from the first person perspective. The adventure is fully linear, and while playing, we have to go through a series of interconnected locations-levels, presenting surreal worlds, often using and exposing the insect's perspective from which we explore them. On the way to the hero's goal there are various puzzles and puzzles, often forcing us to use the elements of the environment. Thanks to the insect's body, we are able to climb vertical surfaces and get to hard-to-reach places. It is worth adding that during the game we will also meet many eccentric and colorful NPCs. Features A bug's perspective in first person - experience the world in a whole new way Challenging environmental puzzles - parkour, wall climb, search for clues, and overcome obstacles Unique movement mechanics - make full use of your tiny body and sticky limbs A story inspired by Kafka’s imagination - meet eccentric characters in a hand-painted world, as you journey through surrealist landscapes towards The Tower

Permanent Liminality and Modernity Analysing the Sacrificial Carnival through Novels

Permanent Liminality and Modernity Analysing the Sacrificial Carnival through Novels

This book offers a comprehensive sociological study of the nature and dynamics of the modern world through the use of a series of anthropological concepts including the trickster schismogenesis imitation and liminality. Developing the view that with the theatre playing a central role the modern world is conditioned as much by cultural processes as it is by economic technological or scientific ones the author contends the world is to a considerable extent theatrical - a phenomenon experienced as inauthenticity or a loss of direction and meaning. As such the novel is revealed as a means for studying our theatricalised reality not simply because novels can be understood to be likening the world to theatre but because they effectively capture and present the reality of a world that has been thoroughly ’theatricalised’ - and they do so more effectively than the main instruments usually employed to analyse reality: philosophy and sociology. With analyses of some of the most important novelists and novels of modern culture including Rilke Hofmannsthal Kafka Mann Blixen Broch and Bulgakov and focusing on fin-de-siècle Vienna as a crucial ’threshold’ chronotope of modernity Permanent Liminality and Modernity demonstrates that all seek to investigate and unmask the theatricalisation of modern life with its progressive loss of meaning and our deteriorating capacity to distinguish between what is meaningful and what is artificial. Drawing on the work of Nietzsche Bakhtin and Girard to examine the ways in which novels explore the reduction of human existence to a state of permanent liminality in the form of a sacrificial carnival this book will appeal to scholars of social anthropological and literary theory. | Permanent Liminality and Modernity Analysing the Sacrificial Carnival through Novels
