Narratology - The Form and Functioning of Narrative
In Narratology, Gerald Prince notes that narratology includes all narratives, even those that aren't great or literary or interesting (yes!), and that studying narratology "is to study one of the fundamental ways -- and a singularly human one at that -- in which we make sense. Ultimately, narratology can help us understand what human beings are" (164). Narrating (ch1) and Reading Narrative (ch4) are more pertinent for those interested in the structure/creation of narratives and their reception. Narrated (ch2), Narrative Grammar (ch3) and Narrativity (ch5) focus more on the content of narratives. Narrative Grammar is particularly technical in that respect.
TMS - Human Anatomy: The Beauty of Form and Function taught by Professor John K. Young, Howard University The human body performs an amazing variety of tasks that people literally could not live without. In this fascinating lecture series, renowned scholar John K. Young takes listeners on a fantastic voyage through the human body, from the skeletal system and the brain to muscles, digestion, respiration, and the intricacies of male and female reproductive systems. Professor Young looks at how the human body is constructed and how it can malfunction if not properly maintained.
This is the first biography of the last and greatest British idealist philosopher, R. G. Collingwood (1889-1943), a man who both thought and lived at full pitch. Best known today for his philosophies of history and art, Collingwood was also a historian, archaeologist, sailor, artist, and musician. A figure of enormous energy and ambition, he took as his subject nothing less than the whole of human endeavor, and he lived in the same way, seeking to experience the complete range of human passion.
Profusely illustrated book by master of the subject offers complete course in transforming the study of anatomy into art. Each stage progresses logically through the body's main areas — trunk, limbs, head, and features. Scores of drawings by painters, graphic artists, sculptors, art teachers, and students. 55 figures in color; 141 in black and white.
