Mylonas, George Emmanuel

Eleusis and the Eleusinian Mysteries.

Princeton, 1969, 1st paperbackprinting, now cardboarded, XX + 346 pp, text, 46 pp. illustrations. The most famous conspiracy of silence in the history of antiquity is examined here by one of the three archaeologists entrusted by the Archaeological Society of Athens with the final excavations of the Sanctuary. He traces the history of the cult in the archaeological remains, from the first traces of habitation at the site in the Middle Bronze Age (around 1900 B.C.) to its final grandeur and decay in Imperial Roman times. A guided tour of the Museum at Eleusis, illustrated with photographs of objects in the Museum, as well as air views, plans, and detailed photographs of the ruins closely correlated with the text, takes into account the needs of the visitor at the site as well as the reader at home. Originally published in 1961.

Peterson, Mary A. , Barbara Gillam & H.A. Sedgwick

In the Mind's Eye. Julian Hochberg on the perception of pictures, films, and the world.

London, Oxford University Press Inc, 2007, Hardcover with Dust Jacket, 656 pp., illustrated edition., New.. How can we best describe the processes by which we visually perceive our environment? Contemporary perceptual theory still lacks a coherent theoretical position that encompasses both the limitations on the information that can be retained from a single eye fixation and the abundant phenomenal and behavioural evidence for the perception of an extended and coherent world. As a result, many leading theorists and researchers in visual perception are turning with new or renewed interest to the work of Julian Hochberg. For over 50 years, in his own experimental research, in his detailed consideration of examples drawn from a wide range of visual experiences and activities, and most of all in his brilliant and sophisticated theoretical analyses, Hochberg has persistently engaged with the myriad problems inherent in working out the kind of coherent theoretical position the field currently lacks. The complexity of his thought and the wide range of areas into which Hochberg has pursued the solution to this central problem have, however, limited both the accessibility of his work and the appreciation of his accomplishment. In this volume we seek to bring the full range of Hochberg's work to the attention of a wider audience by offering a selection of his key works, many taken from out-of-print or relatively inaccessible sources. To facilitate the understanding of his accomplishment, and of what his work has to offer to contemporary researchers and theorists in visual perception, we include commentaries on salient aspects of his work by 20 noted researchers. In the Mind's Eye will be of interest to researchers working on topics such as perceptual organisation, visual attention, space perception, motion perception, visual cognition, the relationship between perception and action, picture perception, and film, who are striving to obtain a deeper understanding of their own fields, and who want to integrate this understanding into a broader, unified view of visual perceptual processing..

Pollock, George H.

The Mourning-Liberation Process, Volumes I and II

Madison,Internarional Universities Press Inc, 1989, Hardcover with Dustjacket, 718 pp. numbered through the volumes, VG/VG, DJ has discoloring of the spine. ISBN: 9780823634859 and 9780823634866. The loss of a loved one is a central organizing experience in the course of development. The explanation of such losses, the normal and pathological responses that follow them, their reverberations in anniversay reactions, and the ways in which creative geniuses can master and transform them has been the central theme of George Pollock's contributions to psychoanalysis over the last three decades. His new book brings his seminal clinical and theoretical contributions together with his virtuoso applications of the psychoanalytic theory of loss to the study of biography. . Above all, these volumes allow us to trace Pollock's creative mastery of his own personal loss through his construction of a general theory of the psychology of mourning.. ISBN: 97808212

Rapaport, Herman

Is There Truth in Art?

Cornell University Press, 1996, paperback, 221 pp., very good/as new, only paperbrowning. The question posed by Herman Rapaport, in the title of this book, is intended both seriously and ironically. It is not Rapaport's purpose to debate whether or not truth resides in art. The title points rather to his belief that truth needs to be reconceptualized in the light of continuing efforts to deconstruct and to discredit the notion of truthfulness in art. The question of art's truthfulness persists because truth in art is neither an entity or content that has been injected into the work, nor a transcendental concept or ground that exists outside it. Moreover, when used in relation to art, Rapaport says, truth means something quite different from conventional definitions of the term. Indeed, a central question that informs the book is the return of truth at the far side of its deconstruction. Is There Truth in Art? includes chapters on atonal music, environmental art, modern German and French poetry, contemporary French fiction, experimental French film, and a photograph taken by the National Socialists during the destruction of the Warsaw ghetto. Determining how truth can be said to occur in these examples, Rapaport maintains, requires analysis in each instance. He draws chiefly upon the thinkers who have radically reformulated questions about truth-Nietzsche, Heidegger, Derrida, and Levinas-and uses their writings to explore the works under analysis..
