From the Lighthouse: Interdisciplinary Reflections on Light ― An Experiment in Interdisciplinarity
商品資訊
商品簡介
What is a lighthouse? What does it mean, do, and how does it work? Can sharing these perspectives through an interdisciplinary conversation ’enlighten’ our thinking? This book brings a wide-range of scholars together to provide input and is illustrated by numerous visual and poetic images.
Lighthouses appear as signals of safety, beacons of enlightenment, phallic boundaries and memorials of historical relationships with the sea. Preliminary conversations also open up other avenues: human and non-human evolutionary adaptations in the use of light as signal and warning; the importance of regularity and synchronicity in pulses of light; the interpretation of pulsars as the ’lighthouses’ of outer space; or the many related material objects and technologies categorically and metaphorically linked to the lighthouse. Reflecting the free thinking and disciplinary equality, the book adopts an unconventional structural approach.
