Empire in Question: Reading, Writing, and Teaching British

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Burton, Antoinette M. / Bayly, Christopher Alan / Sinha, Mrinalini, PUBLISHER: Duke University Press, Featuring essays written by the influential historian Antoinette Burton since the mid-s, "Empire in Question" traces the development of a particular, contentious strand of modern British history, the "new imperial history," through the eyes of a scholar who helped to shape the field. In her teaching and writing, Burton has insisted that the vectors of imperial power run in multiple directions, argued that race must be incorporated into history-writing, and emphasized that gender and sexuality are critical dimensions of imperial history. "Empire in Question" includes Burton's groundbreaking critiques of British historiography, as well as finely-honed essays in which she brings theory to bear on topics from "Jane Eyre" to nostalgia for colonial India. Burton's autobiographical introduction describes how her early encounters with feminist and postcolonial critique led to her convictions that we must ask who counts as a subject of imperial history, while maintaining a healthy skepticism regarding the claims to objectivity that shape much modern history writing. In the coda, she candidly reflects on shortcomings in her own thinking and in the new imperial history, and she argues that British history must be repositioned in relation to world history. Much of Burton's writing emerged from her teaching; "Empire in Question" is meant to engage students and teachers in debates about how to think about British imperialism in light of contemporary events.

Sweet Anticipation: Music and the Psychology of Expectation

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Huron, David, PUBLISHER: MIT Press (MA), Winner, Wallace Berry Award presented by the Society for Music Theory. The psychological theory of expectation that David Huron proposes in "Sweet Anticipation" grew out of the author's experimental efforts to understand how music evokes emotions. These efforts evolved into a general theory of expectation that will prove informative to readers interested in cognitive science and evolutionary psychology as well as those interested in music. The book describes a set of psychological mechanisms and illustrates how these mechanisms work in the case of music. All examples of notated music can be heard on the Web. Huron proposes that emotions evoked by expectation involve five functionally distinct response systems: reaction responses (which engage defensive reflexes); tension responses (where uncertainty leads to stress); prediction responses (which reward accurate prediction); imagination responses (which facilitate deferred gratification); and appraisal responses (which occur after conscious thought is engaged). For real-world events, these five response systems typically produce a complex mixture of feelings. The book identifies some of the aesthetic possibilities afforded by expectation, and shows how common musical devices (such as syncopation, cadence, meter, tonality, and climax) exploit the psychological opportunities. The theory also provides new insights into the physiological psychology of awe, laughter, and spine-tingling chills. Huron traces the psychology of expectations from the patterns of the physical/cultural world through imperfectly learned heuristics used to predict that world to the phenomenal qualia we experienced as we apprehend the world.

Hearing Eye II: The Psychology of Speechreading and

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Campbell, R. / Campbell, Ruth / Burnham, Douglas, PUBLISHER: Psychology Press, It is ten years since Dodd and Campbell published a book with the title Hearing By Eye. That was the first volume that considered speechreading (lipreading as it was then called) as a psychological process of interest beyond its direct applications in hearing loss and deafness. It has remained the acknowledged title in its field. Since then, practical and theoretical research in this area has expanded hugely and the present volume outlines some of these developments. The book comprises fifteen invited chapters by leading international researchers in psychology, psycholinguistics, experimental and clinical speech science and computer engineering. It gives intriguing answers to theoretical questions (what are the mechanisms by which heard and seen speech combine?) and practical ones (what makes a good speechreader? Can machines be programmed to recognize seen, and seen-and-heard speech?) The book is written in a non-technical way and starts to articulate a behaviorally-based but cross-disciplinary program of research in understanding how natural language can be delivered by different modalities.

The Psychology of the Chess Player

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Fine, Reuben / Sloan, Sam, PUBLISHER: Ishi Press, Just what is the special ability that sets great chess players apart from other men has long been a topic of intense speculation. Unfortunately, very little scientific work has been clone on the question. The major stumbling block has been that psychologists who have worked on the question, like Binet. have not been first-rank chess players and so have not had direct access to the mental processes involved in grandmaster chess. On the other hand, chess players are not usually first-rate psychologists. There is one important exception to this rule-a man who has produced a remarkable book in this area. This is Dr. Reuben Fine, one of the great chess players of this century (he has played on equal terms with Botvinnik, Reshevsky, Smyslov, and others) and a qualified psychoanalyst. Dr. Fine has called upon his own understanding of chess processes and his unrivaled contacts in the chess world in this attempt to analyze both the game of chess itself and its peculiar appeals, particularly to male players as opposed to females, to isolate its inner meaning, and to categorize and understand the special combination of characteristics that make tip a chess champion. Some of the great players studied here, such as Lasker, Capablanca, and Botvinnik, Dr. Fine has known, both in terms of chess and as personalities. He discusses other great players of the past, Staunton, Andersen, Morphy, as their personalities are revealed in books, articles, and legends that have grown up about them. The result is an unexpected synthesis, far from a simplistic answer to the basic question, which describes what these men did and did not have in common. All in all. Dr. Fine's searching analyses make an absorbing book-brilliantly written, sometimes controversial, always stimulating.
