Exhibiting the Empire

Cultures of display and the British Empire

by John McAleer, Andrew Thompson, John M. MacKenzie, John Mackenzie

Exhibiting the empire considers how a whole range of cultural products - from paintings, prints, photographs, panoramas and 'popular' texts to ephemera, newspapers and the press, theatre and music, exhibitions, institutions and architecture - were used to record, celebrate and question the development of the British Empire. It represents a significant and original contribution to our understanding of the relationship between culture and empire. Written by leading scholars from a range of disciplinary backgrounds, individual chapters bring fresh perspectives to the interpretation of media, material culture and display, and their interaction with history. Taken together, this collection suggests that the history of empire needs to be, in part at least, a history of display and of reception. This book will be essential reading for scholars and students interested in British history, the history of empire, art history and the history of museums and collecting. ;

Geist und Welt

by John McDowell, Thomas Blume, Holm Bräuer, Gregory Klass, John McDowell

Die Kluft zwischen Geist und Welt ist in der Philosophie des 20. Jahrhunderts als Kluft zwischen dem »reibungslosen Rotieren der Begriffe im luftleeren Raum« - ohne Anbindung an die Welt - und dem »Mythos des Gegebenen« - der totalen Abhängigkeit der Begriffe von der Welt - reformuliert worden. John McDowell gelingt in seinem Buch eine Verbindung beider Positionen. Mit Kant erweist er Erfahrungen als immer schon begrifflich strukturiert, mit Aristoteles entfaltet er einen Begriff der »zweiten Natur«, der Geist und Welt überbrücken kann.

Representing Africa

Landscape, exploration and empire in Southern Africa, 1780–1870

by John McAleer, Andrew Thompson, John Mackenzie

Southern Africa played a varied but vital role in Britain's maritime and imperial stories: it was one of the most intricate pieces in the British imperial strategic jigsaw, and representations of southern African landscape and maritime spaces reflect its multifaceted position. Representing Africa examines the ways in which British travellers, explorers and artists viewed southern Africa in a period of evolving and expanding British interest in the region. Drawing on a wide range of archival sources, contemporary travelogues and visual images, many of which have not previously been published in this context, this book posits landscape as a useful prism through which to view changing British attitudes towards Africa. Richly illustrated, this book will be essential reading for scholars and students interested in British, African, imperial and exploration history, art history, and landscape and environment studies. ;

Geist, Sprache und Gesellschaft

Philosophie der wirklichen Welt

by John R. Searle, Harvey P. Gavagai, John R. Searle

John R. Searle gehört zu den wirkmächtigsten Philosophen der Gegenwart. Er hat bahnbrechende Untersuchungen über Sprechakte veröffentlicht, eine eigene Konzeption von Intentionalität vorgelegt und das Funktionieren gesellschaftlicher Realität erklärt. Er hat die Diskussion um künstliche Intelligenz mit seinem Bild des »chinesischen Zimmers« bereichert und damit allen Vergleichen des menschlichen Geistes mit dem Computer ein vieldiskutiertes Argument beschert. Hier zieht Searle die Summe aus diesen Themen. Durch die leichtverständliche Darstellung und Searles Fähigkeit, komplexe Probleme in wenigen Sätzen zu skizzieren und zu lösen, eignet sich das Buch nicht nur als Einführung in Searles Denken, sondern auch als Einführung in die Gegenwartsphilosophie überhaupt.
