Book Synopsis Double Negative by : Racquel J. Gates
Download or read book Double Negative written by Racquel J. Gates and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-10 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the antics of Flavor Flav on Flavor of Love to the brazen behavior of the women on Love & Hip Hop, so-called negative images of African Americans are a recurrent mainstay of contemporary American media representations. In Double Negative Racquel J. Gates examines the generative potential of such images, showing how some of the most disreputable representations of black people in popular media can strategically pose questions about blackness, black culture, and American society in ways that more respectable ones cannot. Rather than falling back on claims that negative portrayals hinder black progress, Gates demonstrates how reality shows such as Basketball Wives, comedians like Katt Williams, and movies like Coming to America play on "negative" images to take up questions of assimilation and upward mobility, provide a respite from the demands of respectability, and explore subversive ideas. By using negativity as a framework to illustrate these texts' social and political work as they reverberate across black culture, Gates opens up new lines of inquiry for black cultural studies.

Book excerpt: A linguist tries to solve a murder mystery in this Edgar Award–nominated novel: “Intelligent, unpredictable . . . and extraordinarily funny” (San Francisco Chronicle). Dedicated to the study of toddlers and their development of verbal skills, the Wabash Institute should be staffed by kind, gentle scholars. Instead, the center is home to a nest of supremely cranky academics. When one of them is bludgeoned to death, Jeremy Cook—the institute’s premier scholar and this novel’s socially clueless hero—becomes the prime suspect. To clear his name, Cook resolves to solve the case, even if it means taking time off from his hobby of teaching imaginary words to the Institute’s tiny “subjects.” While gleefully skewering academia, the author—a professor of linguistics himself—also provides a spectacularly ingenious puzzle and, in the words of Publishers Weekly, “a first-rate thriller.” “The dialogue is crisp and witty, and the plot as unusual and engaging as any from the Golden Age of the classic detective story.” —St. Louis Post-Dispatch “An engaging oddball of a hero.” —Kirkus Reviews “Mystery stories that have a really original solution to a crime are very rare, but Dr. Carkeet has found one . . . a thoroughly enjoyable piece of work.” —The New York Times Book Review

Book excerpt: Winner of the 2021 Nonfiction/Hybrid Chapbook Contest Double Negative, Claudia Putnam's debut nonfiction chapbook, examines the grammatical logic that two negatives make a positive, that an impossibility can ever be resolved by word rearrangement or by rearrangements of the physical body. The impossibility in Double Negative is the death of an infant, the author's son Jacob, from an immutable heart defect that medicine, nonetheless, asserts there are options to treat. When is the right time to die, especially if someone is just beginning life? Three decades after her decision regarding Jacob's fate, Putnam employs poetry, physics, calculus, scientific research into a hallucinogen, and the structure of the English language to interrogate her experience with grief. She asks whether there might be a difference between not dying and living, exploring personhood, and wondering at how the living do, somehow, manage to orbit so close to the event horizon of a child's death.

Book Synopsis Negation and Negative Concord by : Viviane Déprez
Download or read book Negation and Negative Concord written by Viviane Déprez and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2018-12-15 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While universally present in languages, negation is well-known to manifest a surprising cross-linguistic diversity of forms. In creole languages, however, negation and negative dependencies have been regarded as largely uniform. Creole languages as Bickerton claims in Roots of Language, generally exhibit negative concord, a construction popularly dubbed ‘double negation’, where several expressions, each negative on its own, come together with a logic-defying single negation interpretation. While this construction – problematic for compositionality if the meaning of sentences emerge from the meaning of their parts – has fostered much research, the fertile data terrain that creole languages offer for its understanding is rarely taken into account. Aiming at bridging this gap, this book offers a wealth of theoretically informed empirical investigations of negative relations in a wide variety of creole languages. Uncovering a far more complex negative landscape than previously assumed, the book reveals the challenging richness that a thorough comparative study of creoles delivers.
Book Synopsis Double Negative by : Ivan Vladislavic
Download or read book Double Negative written by Ivan Vladislavic and published by Penguin Random House South Africa. This book was released on 2011-04-21 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A senior photography introduces a young man to the intricacies of photography. ‘If,’ he says, ‘I try to imagine the lives going on in all these houses, the domestic dramas, the family sagas, it seems impossibly complicated. How could you ever do justice to something so rich in detail? You couldn’t do it in a novel, let alone a photograph.’ The novel follows the young man’s broken path, as he goes overseas, finds a career, and then comes back to a changed Johannesburg. In the process, the book develops an ever-widening perspective not only on change in the country, but also on questions to do with seeing and being seen. It brings into sharp focus South Africa’s recent history and the difficulty of depicting it. Double Negative was first published in November 2010 in TJ/Double Negative as the fictional companion to David Goldblatt’s book of Johannesburg photographs titled TJ

Book excerpt: Injured competitive swimmer Reece never wanted to be Vice Prez of West Hill High. It was her brother Jamie's idea, just something to do until she could get back into the pool. She knew that Jamie-who led his campaign with a striptease "election speech"-would be a complete "President Dumbass." But Reece didn't foresee that she'd fall hard for Jamie's Student Council rival, Zain. Zain is hot and intense, plus an amputee and a basketball star. Between Zain's disability and Reece's surgery, they have their challenges, but that deepens their connection-until he drops a bombshell about his accident. Suddenly, everything important to Reece starts to implode. Struggling with issues of family loyalty, secrets, and scars, Reece must decide if real relationships are worth the heartache.

Book Synopsis Celebrating the Negative by : John Loengard
Download or read book Celebrating the Negative written by John Loengard and published by Arcade Publishing. This book was released on 1994 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every photograph - whether family snapshot or museum masterpiece - comes to life out of the silver shadows in the negative. Yet the value and intrinsic beauty of the photographic negative have been woefully underappreciated. Auction houses disdain negatives of even the most celebrated photographs, insurance companies routinely underestimate their worth, and the general public never gets to see them. Only archivists, dealers and photographers themselves understand how priceless, unique and visually stunning negatives truly are. Celebrating the Negative rectifies matters in glorious fashion. John Loengard has tracked down and photographed the negatives of some of the most famous images ever made: Alexander Gardner's legendary portrait of Abraham Lincoln and Walker Evans' haunting portrait of Bud Fields and his family; Ansel Adams' serene Moonrise, Hernandez, N. Mex. and Robert Capa's D-day beachhead. Loengard's work literally and figuratively illuminates these negatives, revealing how the photographer has manipulated the image to produce the final print by choosing what to crop or enlarge, what to darken or lighten. The mastery of Man Ray, Yousuf Karsh, Alfred Stieglitz, Margaret Bourke-White, Alfred Eisenstaedt, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Andre Kertesz and Edward Weston, to name but some of the many photographers represented here, shows up in their negative capability.
