Free Download Guy Beiner, "Forgetful Remembrance: Social Forgetting and Vernacular Historiography of a Rebellion in Ulster"
English | 2018 | ISBN: 019874935X, 0198864191 | PDF | pages: 728 | 133.3 mb
Forgetful Remembrance examines the paradoxes of what actually happens when communities persistently endeavour to forget inconvenient events. The question of how a society attempts to obscure problematic historical episodes is addressed through a detailed case study grounded in the north-eastern counties of the Irish province of Ulster, where loyalist and unionist Protestants – and in particular Presbyterians – repeatedly tried to repress over two centuries discomfiting recollections of participation, alongside Catholics, in a republican rebellion in 1798.

Free Download Leslie Lockett, "Anglo-Saxon Psychologies in the Vernacular and Latin Traditions "
English | ISBN: 1442642173 | 2011 | 472 pages | AZW3 | 3 MB
Old English verse and prose depict the human mind as a corporeal entity located in the chest cavity, susceptible to spatial and thermal changes corresponding to the psychological states: it was thought that emotions such as rage, grief, and yearning could cause the contents of the chest to grow warm, boil, or be constricted by pressure. While readers usually assume the metaphorical nature of such literary images, Leslie Lockett, in Anglo-Saxon Psychologies in the Vernacular and Latin Traditions, argues that these depictions are literal representations of Anglo-Saxon folk psychology.

Free Download Max Ryynänen, "Realism, Myth, and the Vernacular in Pasolini’s Film and Philosophy: Beyond the Middle-Class Matrix"
English | ISBN: 3031634667 | 2024 | 158 pages | EPUB, PDF | 634 KB + 3 MB
Pier Paolo Pasolini’s lifework has been studied through the lens of queer studies, film studies, poetry, and many other angles, but there are themes that one could still study. This book aims to bring forth a new understanding of Pasolini as someone who worked in various arts, and through appropriating one art with. Max Ryynänen shows Pasolini’s importance for not just film and film theory, but more broadly visual studies, art research and even cultural philosophy – where Pasolini can be seen to be a real pioneer in discussing unprivileged margins in the society. Ryynänen reads Pasolini not just as a semiotician of film, but also as a cultural philosopher, and argues for that interpretation.

Free Download Devonya N. Havis, "Creating a Black Vernacular Philosophy "
English | ISBN: 1498530141 | 2022 | 128 pages | EPUB, PDF | 253 KB + 1159 KB
Creating a Black Vernacular Philosophy explores how everyday Black vernacular practices, developed to negotiate survival and joy, can be understood as philosophy in their own right. Devonya N. Havis argues that many unique cultural and intellectual practices of African diasporic communities have done the work of traditional philosophies. Focusing on creative practices that take place within Black American diasporic cultures via narratives, the blues, jazz, work songs, and other expressive forms, this book articulates a form of Black vernacular Philosophy that is centered within and emerges from meaning structures cultivated by Black communities. These distinct philosophical practices, running parallel with and often improvising on European philosophy, should be acknowledged for their rigorous theoretical formation and for their disruption of traditional Western philosophical ontologies.
