Book Synopsis The Planetarium by : Nathalie Sarraute
Download or read book The Planetarium written by Nathalie Sarraute and published by Deep Vellum Publishing. This book was released on 2023-01-31 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A young writer has his heart set on his aunt's large apartment. With this seemingly simple conceit, the characters of The Planetarium are set in orbit and a galaxy of argument, resentment, and bitterness erupts. Telling the story from various points of view, Sarraute focuses below the surface, on the emotional lives of the characters in a way that surpasses even Virginia Woolf. Always deeply engaging, The Planetarium reveals the deep disparity between the way we see ourselves and the way others see us.

Book Synopsis The Senses of Modernism by : Sara Danius
Download or read book The Senses of Modernism written by Sara Danius and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-24 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Senses of Modernism, Sara Danius develops a radically new theoretical and historical understanding of high modernism. The author closely analyzes Thomas Mann's The Magic Mountain, Marcel Proust's Remembrance of Things Past, and James Joyce's Ulysses as narratives of the sweeping changes that affected high and low culture in the age of technological reproduction. In her discussion of the years from 1880 to 1930, Danius proposes that the high-modernist aesthetic is inseparable from a technologically mediated crisis of the senses. She reveals the ways in which categories of perceiving and knowing are realigned when technological devices are capable of reproducing sense data. Sparked by innovations such as chronophotography, phonography, radiography, cinematography, and technologies of speed, this sudden shift in perceptual abilities had an effect on all arts of the time.Danius explores how perception, notably sight and hearing, is staged in the three most significant modern novels in German, French, and British literature. The Senses of Modernism connects technological change and formal innovation to transform the study of modernist aesthetics. Danius questions the longstanding acceptance of a binary relationship between high and low culture and describes the complicated relationship between modernism and technology, challenging the conceptual divide between a technological culture and a more properly aesthetic one.

Book Synopsis The New Novel in France by : Arthur E. Babcock
Download or read book The New Novel in France written by Arthur E. Babcock and published by Macmillan Reference USA. This book was released on 1997 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Babcock separates the myth from the history of a movement that began in the 1950s and persisted through the 1970s, providing a fair and dispassionate account of its chief representatives. While Babcock does look at these writers as participants in a movement, he does not force a false unity on the group. Through an examination of their exemplary novels, Babcock gives a balanced view of their common concerns as well as their differences. As the nouveau roman reaches its fiftieth year, The New Novel in France offers the first major historical study of a literary form that continues to capture scholarly interest and to excite intense debate.
Book Synopsis The Argument of the Action by : Seth Benardete
Download or read book The Argument of the Action written by Seth Benardete and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2000-08-07 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together Seth Benardete's studies of Hesiod's Theogony, Homer's Iliad, and Greek tragedy, of eleven Platonic dialogues, and Aristotle's Metaphysics. These essays, some never before published, others difficult to find, span four decades of his work and document its impressive range. Benardete's philosophic reading of the poets and his poetic reading of the philosophers share a common ground that makes this collection a whole. The key, suggested by his reflections on Leo Strauss in the last piece, lies in the question of how to read Plato. Benardete's way is characterized not just by careful attention to the literary form that separates doctrine from dialogue, and speeches from deed; rather, by following the dynamic of these differences, he uncovers the argument that belongs to the dialogue as a whole. The "turnaround" such an argument undergoes bears consequences for understanding the dialogue as radical as the conversion of the philosopher in Plato's image of the cave. Benardete's original interpretations are the fruits of this discovery of the "argument of the action."
Book Synopsis The Nouveau Roman and the Poetics of Fiction by : Ann Jefferson
Download or read book The Nouveau Roman and the Poetics of Fiction written by Ann Jefferson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1984-03-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, first published in 1984, is based on readings of the novels of three major representative practitioners of the nouveau roman. Since its beginnings in the 1950s the nouveau roman has posed a major challenge to the theory of the novel because its practitioners claimed to have jettisoned the mainstays of nineteenth-century fiction: plot, character and the representation of reality. Consequently the nouveau roman has tended to generate radical or even subversive theories of the novel which have little to contribute to our understanding of the main stream of the genre. In this study, Ann Jefferson reassesses the theoretical implications of the nouveau roman and the terms in which fiction is generally defined, in order to demonstrate that the nouveau roman, far from being anti-fiction, is both profoundly novelistic and extremely instructive about the nature of fiction in general.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nathalie Sarraute, initially hailed as a leading theorist and exemplar of the nouveau roman, is now regarded as a major French novelist in her own right. Ann Jefferson offers a new perspective on Sarraute's entire oeuvre--her fiction, her outstanding autobiography Enfance and her influential critical writings--by focusing on the crucial issue of difference that emerges as one of her central preoccupations. Jefferson explores Sarraute's fundamental ambivalence to differences of various kinds, including questions of gender and genre.
