Tradition as Truth and Communication: A Cognitive Description of Traditional Discourse

Pascal Boyer


Tradition as Truth and Communication: A Cognitive Description of Traditional Discourse Pascal Boyer Cambridge University Press. Tradition is a central concept in the social sciences, but it is commonly treated as unproblematic. Dr. Boyer insists that social anthropology requires a theory of tradition, its constitution and transmission. He treats tradition Cambridge University Press. Tradition is a central concept in the social sciences, but it is commonly treated as unproblematic. Dr. Boyer insists that social anthropology requires a theory of tradition, its constitution and transmission. He treats tradition "as a type of interaction which results in the repetition of certain communicative events," and therefore as a form of social action. Tradition as Truth and Communication deals particularly with oral communication and focuses on the privileged role of licensed speakers and the ritual contexts in which certain aspects of tradition are characteristically transmitted. Drawing on cognitive psychology, Dr.Boyer proposes a set of general hypotheses to be tested by ethnographic field research. He has opened up an important new field for investigation within social anthropology....


Africa Called: Scientists and Development in Nigeria

Alan Hayward


Africa Called: Scientists and Development in Nigeria Alan Hayward Africa Called brings Africa and its peoples to life and paints a picture of an optimistic nation approaching decolonization. During much of the 20th century, British Colonial Africa was considered ripe for commercial and economic progress. Africa Called brings Africa and its peoples to life and paints a picture of an optimistic nation approaching decolonization. During much of the 20th century, British Colonial Africa was considered ripe for commercial and economic progress. "Development" was the watchword and basis of government policy. Alan Hayward--after attaining a degree in chemistry and a career in food science--was recruited by the Colonial Service in 1948 to work in Nigeria. He and his team researched ways of improving the quality of subsistence foodstuffs and export crops like cocoa, groundnuts, and palm oil--all vital for the nascent colonial economy and export trade. Hayward sets his development work in an exciting and vibrant context of exotic travel, sport, and a rich social life....

Smart Driver Training Simulation: Save Money. Prevent.

Wolf Dieter Kappler


Smart Driver Training Simulation: Save Money. Prevent. Wolf Dieter Kappler This manual brings together the basic principles of education and training, modeling, task description and analysis, and the pros and contras of simulation as a training method. It describes the method used to design appropriate teaching and training progams and presents the main components of the simulator technology. As an example, an interlinked training program which has been carried out is presented, with vehicles and simulators for professional drivers. This is followed by several advanced training rograms which have also been tested. These simulator training courses for professional drivers are based on optimized simulator-specific teaching and training matter, covering an economic, anticipatory driving technique as well as self-control, i.e. frustation-resistant driving. The manual is rounded off by descriptions of scripts, learning strands, measurement values, questionnaires and analysis procedures to assess training success.

The Devil's Disciple

George, Bernard Shaw


The Devil's Disciple George, Bernard Shaw Like several of Shaw's early plays, The Devil's Disciple - first produced in 1897 and published in his collection Three Plays for Puritans in 1901 - takes an existing popular theatrical form, in this case melodrama, and adapts it to serve Shaw's dramatic purposes. Two of the ideals that Shaw sets out to attack in this play are the ideal of the family and the ideal of marriage. The play is set during the Revolutionary War and is the fictional story of Richard Dudgeon, an American hero. He revolts against the ideal of the family to the extent that he has rejected his own family. Identifying with the devil has prevented his spirit being taken over by his mother's life-denying religion. Though being a melodrama, it is not without humor, particularly in the character of General Burgoyne. It was Shaws first play that was financially successful and helped to assure his career as a playwright. книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин Like several of Shaw's early plays, The Devil's Disciple - first produced in 1897 and published in his collection Three Plays for Puritans in 1901 - takes an existing popular theatrical form, in this case melodrama, and adapts it to serve Shaw's dramatic purposes.
