Book Synopsis Selected Declarations of Dependence by : Harry Mathews
Download or read book Selected Declarations of Dependence written by Harry Mathews and published by Sun and Moon Press. This book was released on 1977 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1977, Selected Declarations of Dependence has, like all the books by Harry Mathews, grown in reputation over the years of its unavailability. Sun and Moon Press now returns this remarkable text to print with a new introduction and the original Alex Katz illustrations. Selected Declarations of Dependence is based on a set of forty-six familiar proverbs, used and abused in various ways. The proverbs provide the entire vocabulary of the opening story, "Their Words, For You". In the section called "Perverbs and Paraphrases", Mathews explores the narrative implications of the crossed proverb or "perverb", in which two regular proverbs are mixed ("A rolling stone leads to Rome".). The remaining uses of proverbs and perverbs and the "Sorites" - which bows to Lewis Carroll's demonstration of the form - all produce an hilarious text of familiar quotations gone amuck and reveal Mathews' involvement with the Oulipo.

Book Synopsis Who Says This? by : Welch D. Everman
Download or read book Who Says This? written by Welch D. Everman and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 1988 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Who or what gives the text its authority?" Everman offers three main sources of authority: the author, the discourse, and the reader. His first section examines the authority of the author by studying the works of contemporary American writers. An essay on "docufiction" focuses on the paradox of using the techniques of fiction to discover reality. The probability of writers revealing truths about themselves is exemplified by Raymond Federman s quasi-autobiographical novels. The second part discusses the authority of discourse, challenging writers with the possibility that literary form, not the author, is the major force in creating works. The final section explores the authority of the reader. Italo Calvino s "If on a winter s night a traveler "makes the reader the main character of the novel and implicates him in its creation."
Book Synopsis The Declaration of Independence by : David Armitage
Download or read book The Declaration of Independence written by David Armitage and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2007-01-15 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a stunningly original look at the American Declaration of Independence, David Armitage reveals the document in a new light: through the eyes of the rest of the world. Not only did the Declaration announce the entry of the United States onto the world stage, it became the model for other countries to follow. Armitage examines the Declaration as a political, legal, and intellectual document, and is the first to treat it entirely within a broad international framework. He shows how the Declaration arose within a global moment in the late eighteenth century similar to our own. He uses over one hundred declarations of independence written since 1776 to show the influence and role the U.S. Declaration has played in creating a world of states out of a world of empires. He discusses why the framers’ language of natural rights did not resonate in Britain, how the document was interpreted in the rest of the world, whether the Declaration established a new nation or a collection of states, and where and how the Declaration has had an overt influence on independence movements—from Haiti to Vietnam, and from Venezuela to Rhodesia. Included is the text of the U.S. Declaration of Independence and sample declarations from around the world. An eye-opening list of declarations of independence since 1776 is compiled here for the first time. This unique global perspective demonstrates the singular role of the United States document as a founding statement of our modern world.
Book Synopsis Heidegger and Future Presencing (The Black Pages) by : Spencer Golub
Download or read book Heidegger and Future Presencing (The Black Pages) written by Spencer Golub and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-10-18 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book applies Heidegger’s writings to experimental fictions and film genres in order to study a being-there that performs itself beyond liveness and a future that is already here. Theatrical mise-en-scène is analyzed as a way of modeling the Heideggerian ontological-existential, exchanging a deeper presencing for the fictional “now” of liveness. The book is organized around ostensible objects that are in fact things-as-such and performs its theme via time-traveling, interruptions, decompositions, incompleteness, failure, geometric patterning, and above all black pages first cited in Tristram Shandy. This is a nuanced, original work that combines unexpected sources with even more unexpected writing, imagery, and correspondences. It is part of Golub’s ongoing project of lyrically reimagining philosophy and the mise-en-scène of theatrical performance (a presence-room of consciousness) in light of one another.
