The Gestalt Shift In Conan Doyle S Sherlock Holmes Stories written by Michael J. Crowe and has been published by Springer this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2018-10-10 with Literary Criticism categories.

This book analyzes the four novels and fifty-six stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle describing the adventures and discoveries of Sherlock Holmes. Michael J. Crowe suggests that nearly all the Holmes stories exhibit the pattern known as a Gestalt shift, in which suddenly Holmes’s efforts reveal a new perspective on the case, typically identifying the culprit(s) and resolving the case. Drawing on ideas presented by Thomas S. Kuhn in his famous Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962), Crowe argues that similar to the way that Kuhn applied the idea of a Gestalt shift to the history of science, this approach can be used to reveal the structure of the Holmes stories and possibly be applied to some other areas of fiction.

Examines both academic and popular assessments of Conan Doyle's work, giving pride of place to the Holmes stories and their adaptations, and also attending to the wide range of his published work. Twenty-first-century readers, television viewers, and moviegoers know Arthur Conan Doyle as the creator of Sherlock Holmes, the world's most recognizable fictional detective. Holmes's enduring popularity has kept Conan Doyle in the public eye. However, Holmes has taken on a life of his own, generating a steady stream of critical commentary, while Conan Doyle's other works are slighted or ignored. Yet the Holmes stories make up only a small portion of Conan Doyle's published work, which includes mainstream and historical fiction; history; drama; medical, spiritualist, and political tracts; and even essays on photography. When Doyle published - whatever the subject - his contemporaries took note. Yet, outside of the fiction featuring Sherlock Holmes, until recently relatively little has been done to analyze the reception Conan Doyle's work received during his lifetime and since his death. This book examines both academic and popular assessments of Conan Doyle's work, giving pride of place to the Holmes stories and their many adaptations for print, visual, and online media, but attending to his other contributions to turn-of-the-twentieth-century culture as well. The availability of periodicals and newspapers online makes it possible to develop an assessment of Conan Doyle's (and Sherlock Holmes's) reputation among a wider readership and viewership, thus allowing for development of a broader and more accurate portrait of Doyle's place in literary and cultural history.

This book offers new transdisciplinary perspectives on luxury, exploring the topical phenomenon of digitally retouched (censored) and blockchain-secured (sensored) luxury watches and outlining implications that emerge for the field of luxury studies and managerial practice. Based on a cross-disciplinary approach, the book integrates theoretical and empirical perspectives to advance the readers’ understanding of luxury. With a particular focus on the Swiss luxury watch context, the book thereby draws on qualitative, quantitative, and archival data to shed new light on recent luxury trends, integrating literature on aesthetics of labour, conspicuous consumption, Gestalt theory, ethical theory, functional theories of attitudes, and surveillance studies. Eight chapters take the readers through a range of topical challenges arising with the display and changing moral perceptions of luxury and shifts that the luxury watch sector is facing in light of the digital transformation impacting luxury goods and the luxury management environment. This unique book will be of value for academics, scholars, and upper-level students across management studies with a particular interest in the luxury and fashion industries, luxury management, brand management, business ethics, and digital transformation. With a foreword by Thomaï Serdari, Leonard N. Stern School of Business, New York University.

Modern writers have reconsidered every subject under the sun through the lens of Sherlock Holmes. The overlooked subject is agency: the opportunities available to these women for independence and control. What we find all too often are the silences around them. And yet, these clients--villains, victims, and Violets--are pivotal in the world of Sherlock Holmes. Perhaps more enigmatic than Holmes’ methods is what Watson sees: the woman in the shadows. Whether lady or lady’s maid, if she does speak, it’s often not recorded in her words. That was life for half the population of Victorian England. A woman’s role was written before she was born; it merely required her to don the starched white apron of a maid, or the rough, stained skirts of a "char"--who did the dirtiest of household jobs—or the fine silk gowns of a lady. Enter Villains, Victims, and Violets to spy and report on these women in their darkest, most vulnerable moments. How does Irene Adler—pursued by a powerful king, and by Sherlock Holmes--outwit them both? Can Lady Hilda conceal the secret that only Holmes unravels? When Violet Hunter takes the last job offered before she loses everything, can Holmes free her and her doppelganger? To understand Holmes’ world is to gaze unsparingly into the lives of its women: the villains and what drives them astray; the victims Holmes races to rescue; and the Violets, who make up the strongest characters from Holmes’ unforgettable cases. The authors pull back the curtain on their private spaces, revealing their "proper" place in a man’s world at the dusk of the 19th century and the dawn of the 20th. Foreword by Nisi Shawl, noted Sherlockian and the James Tiptree Jr. Award-winning and Nebula-nominated author of the brilliant steampunk, feminist, Afrofuturist novel Everfair.

London, im Jahr 1887: zum ersten Mal schickt Arthur Conan Doyle (1859 – 1930) den Meisterdetektiv Sherlock Holmes & seinen Begleiter Dr. John Watson auf Verbrecherjagd. Die „Studie in Scharlachrot“ („A Study in Scarlet“) führt den Leser nicht nur in die düsteren Vororte Londons, sondern auch in die Salzwüste von Utah zur Zeit des großen Mormonentrecks. Im Jahr 1890 folgt mit dem „Zeichen der Vier“ (‚The Sign of the Four‘) der zweite Sherlock-Holmes-Roman. Darin lässt Conan Doyle den Privatermittler aus der Bakerstreet 221b mit seiner deduktiven Methode ein „Closed Room“-Rätsel à la Edgar Allan Poe lösen — die Motive für den mysteriösen Mordfall reichen zurück zu einer Verschwörung während des Indischen Kolonialaufstandes. Die in diesem Band versammelten ersten beiden Holmes-Stories fallen in einen für die beginnende Selbstwahrnehmung des Empires kritischen Zeitraum. Konnte der britische Historiker J.R. Seeley in seinen Vorlesungen über die „Expansion of England“ noch 1883 behaupten, das koloniale Weltreich sei in einem Zustand der Geistesabwesenheit entstanden („in a fit o absence of mind“), so begann sich das nun schlagartig zu ändern – u.a., weil die Beherrschten selbst immer öfter aufbegehrten. Auch Conan Doyles erste beiden Sherlock-Holmes-Romane thematisieren das wechselseitige Verhältnis von Zentrum (London) und Peripherie, und damit ein durchaus gegenwärtiges Bedrohungsszenario: die Gefahren dringen von den Rändern aus mitten in das Herz der globalisierten Welt. Dieser mit einem literaturhistorischen Nachwort versehene Doppelband basiert auf der klassischen Übersetzung von Margarete Jacobi, wurde aber en detail überarbeitet. Denn gerade die “Studie in Scharlach” hat’s in sich: der deutsche Titel hieß ursprünglich “Späte Rache”, zahlreiche Passagen des Originals wurden früher herausgekürzt. Darunter ausgerechnet das titelgebende Holmes-Zitat über die “Studie in Scharlachrot”, sowie das dazu gehörende Motto: “Es läuft ein scharlachroter Faden des Mordes durch die farblose Haut des Lebens, und unsere Pflicht besteht darin, diesen zu entwirren, zu isolieren und jedes Stück freizulegen.” Nun auch wieder im Text enthalten: Sherlock Holmes’ Kritik am großen Vorbild Auguste Dupin, dem von Edgar Allan Poe erfundenen Proto-Detektiv.
