Theory of the Lyric

Theory of the Lyric
Jonathan Culler, "Theory of the Lyric"
English | 2017 | ISBN: 0674979702 | PDF | pages: 406 | 2.5 mb
What sort of thing is a lyric poem? An intense expression of subjective experience? The fictive speech of a specifiable persona? Theory of the Lyric reveals the limitations of these two conceptions of the lyric―the older Romantic model and the modern conception that has come to dominate the study of poetry―both of which neglect what is most striking and compelling in the lyric and falsify the long and rich tradition of the lyric in the West. Jonathan Culler explores alternative conceptions offered by this tradition, such as public discourse made authoritative by its rhythmical structures, and he constructs a more capacious model of the lyric that will help readers appreciate its range of possibilities.

Theory of Social Choice on Networks Preference, Aggregation, and Coordination

Theory of Social Choice on Networks Preference, Aggregation, and Coordination
Wynn C. Stirling, "Theory of Social Choice on Networks: Preference, Aggregation, and Coordination"
English | 2020 | ISBN: 1316616886, 1107165164 | 228 pages | True PDF | 1.6 MB
Classical social choice theory relies heavily on the assumption that all individuals have fixed preference orderings. This highly original book presents a new theory of social preferences that explicitly accounts for important social phenomena such as coordination, compromise, negotiation and altruism. Drawing on cybernetics and network theory, it extends classical social choice theory by constructing a framework that allows for dynamic preferences that are modulated by the situation-dependent social influence that they exert on each other. In this way the book shows how members of a social network may modulate their preferences to account for social context. This important expansion of social choice theory will be of interest to readers in a wide variety of disciplines, including economists and political scientists concerned with choice theory as well as computer scientists and engineers working on network theory.
