THE ART OF THEATRE: THEN AND NOW, 4th Edition, brings the
fascinating world of theatre to life with lively coverage of the
history, cultural diversity, creativity, controversy -- and even a
typical day in the life -- of theatre. As the authors wrote each
chapter, they asked themselves how the subject applies to students'
lives. The result is a text packed with practical information you
can use in everyday life, including insight on censorship, freedom
of speech, copyrights, the National Endowment for the Arts, and
more. Timely connections drawn between theatre and TV and film help
you see how the living stage is unique, and the optional MindTap
digital learning solution provides a variety of online study tools
to help you ensure your success in the course.
Language and Religion offers an innovative theory of religion as a
class of cultural representations, dependent on language to unify
diverse capacities of the human mind. It argues that religion is
widespread because it is implicit in the way the mind processes the
world, as it determines what we ought to do, practically and
morally, to achieve our goals. Focusing on the world religions, the
book relates modern cognitive theories of language and
communication to culture and its dissemination. It explains basic
features of religion such as the supernatural, the normative,
abstract and ideal theological concepts such as 'God', and
religious feeling. It develops a linguistic theory, based on how
utterances are understood, of metaphysical and moral 'mysteries'
and their key role in thought and action. It shows how such
concepts gain strength in the light of their successful use and,
when tempered by criticism, can also have genuine authority.
