The Story of Schitt's Creek

Best Wishes, Warmest Regards

There are few terms or concepts that have, in the last twenty or so years, rivaled "collective memory" for attention in the humanities and social sciences. Indeed, use of the term has extended far beyond scholarship to the realm of politics and journalism, where it has appeared in speeches at the centers of power and on the front pages of the world's leading newspapers. The current efflorescence of interest in memory, however, is no mere passing fad: it is a hallmark characteristic of our age and a crucial site for understanding our present social, political, and cultural conditions. Scholars and others in numerous fields have thus employed the concept of collective memory, sociological in origin, to guide their inquiries into diverse, though allegedly connected, phenomena. Nevertheless, there remains a great deal of confusion about the meaning, origin, and implication of the term and the field of inquiry it underwrites. The Collective Memory Reader thus presents, organizes, and evaluates past work and provides essential materials for future research on the questions raised under the rubric of collective memory. Combining seminal texts, hard-to-find classics, previously untranslated materials, contemporary landmarks, as well as unusual extensions, it provides a foundational resource for teaching and research in the field, including wide-ranging reference points and exemplars from the vast literature. Most important, in both its selections as well in its editorial contributions, The Collective Memory Reader provides a novel life-story for the field, one that appreciates recent innovations but only against the background of a long history. In addition to its major editorial introduction, which outlines a useful past for contemporary memory studies, The Collective Memory Reader includes five sections--Precursors and Classics; History, Memory, and Identity; Power, Politics, and Contestation; Media and Modes of Transmission; Memory, Justice, and the Contemporary Epoch--comprising eighty-eight texts. In addition to the essay introducing the entire volume, a brief editorial essay introduces each of the sections, while brief capsules frame each of the 88 texts.

The Collective Memory Reader

Natan Sznaider

Daniel Levy and Natan Sznaider examine the forms that collective memory take in the age of globalisation. They explore how the Holocaust has been remembered in Germany, Israel and the US over the past 50 years and demonstrate how this event has become detached from its precise context.

Euphony means harmony in sound. This definition not only indicates an acoustic fact, but above all the deep experience of Joy and Beauty within Sound in the human being as a whole.Euphony is a Science-Art that, through progressive stages, leads to experiencing the potentialities inborn in the human being; from the therapeutic effect of sound to the harmony within human relationships, from psychophysical relaxation to a re-discovery of intellectual vigour, from the expansion of sensibility to Self-knowledge.Daniel Levy's book deals with the effects of sound on the human being, offering a detailed analysis of the meaning and function of music, its great potential as a Science/Art, and the reasons why it is a golden key to the knowledge of ourselves and of the universe.

Una síntesis fascinante sobre la trascendencia de la Escucha, verdadero desafío para el hombre contemporáneo que ha olvidado sea el origen y la práctica de esta Ciencia/Arte, como clave para comprender y obrar armónicamente.

Pitágoras Y La Eufonía - El Desafío de Saber Escuchar

Eufonía significa armonía en el sonido. Esta definición no sólo indica un hecho acústico, sino que sobre todo señala la experiencia profunda de la Alegría y de la Belleza en el Sonido y en el ser humano. La Eufonía es un Arte-Ciencia que, a través de etapas progresivas, conduce a experimentar las potencialidades innatas en el ser humano, desde el efecto terapéutico del sonido a la armonía en las relaciones humanas, desde la distensión psicofísica al redescubrimiento del vigor intelectual, desde la expansión de la sensibilidad al Conocimiento de sí mismo. El libro trata de los efectos del sonido sobre el ser humano, haciendo un cuidadoso análisis del significado y de la función de la música, su gran potencial, y las razones por las cuales se trata de una clave de oro para el conocimiento de nosotros mismos y del universo entero.
