This book was released on 2015-11-01 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An innovative, interdisciplinary, incisive scholarly study remapping and redefining domains and dynamics of modernism, EccentriCities: Writing in the margins of modernism critically considers how geo-historically distant and disparate urban sites, concentrating Russian and Luso-Brazilian cultural dialogue and definition, give rise to peculiarly parallel anachronistic and alternative fictional forms. While comparatively reframing these literary traditions through an extensive survey of Russian and Brazilian literature, cartography, urban design and development, foregrounding innovative close readings of works by Gogol, Dostoevsky, Bely, Almeida, Machado de Assis, Lima Barreto, Mário de Andrade, the book also redefines new constellations (eccentric, concentric, ex-centric) for understanding geo-cultural and generic dimensions of modernist and post-modern literature and theory.

Download or read book Eccentricity written by Brett Sinclair and published by Alpha Academic Press. This book was released on 2017-03 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I encountered countless accomplished yet eccentric people, and decided to write this book because I am passionate about the value of eccentric people and after discovering a paucity of books on this fascinating and timely subject. THE VALUE OF BEING ECCENTRIC is an intriguing quasi-oxymoron. I use 12 historical figures including eccentrics like Lord Byron, Benjamin Franklin, Pablo Picasso, Winston Churchill, Albert Einstein and John Lennon, to name but a few of the eccentric people examined to prove via the facts of their lives that each one possessed the 7 essential attributes of eccentricity. The eccentricities of the people examined are compelling at any level. This book is timely because although historical figures are utilized, many Americans credibly argue, for example, that the current Republican president, Donald Trump, falls within the parameters of an eccentric person. Because eccentricity is often disparaged or equated as synonymous with insanity, the author believes the contributions to the world made by these 12 people from diverse fields and the historical proof of their eccentricity provides a fascinating take on a subject very rarely examined. He takes value in recognizing these eccentrics and understanding their positive contributions to the world.

Book excerpt: I encountered countless accomplished yet eccentric people, and decided to write this book because I am passionate about the value of eccentric people and after discovering a paucity of books on this fascinating and timely subject. THE VALUE OF BEING ECCENTRIC is an intriguing quasi-oxymoron. I use 13 historical figures including eccentrics like Lord Byron, Benjamin Franklin, Pablo Picasso, Winston Churchill, Betty Friedan, Albert Einstein and John Lennon, to name but a few of the eccentric people examined to prove via the facts of their lives that each one possessed the 7 essential attributes of eccentricity. The eccentricities of the people examined are compelling at any level. This book is timely because although historical figures are utilized, many Americans credibly argue, for example, that the current Republican president, Donald Trump, falls within the parameters of an eccentric person. Because eccentricity is often disparaged or equated as synonymous with insanity, the author believes the contributions to the world made by these 13 people from diverse fields and the historical proof of their eccentricity provides a fascinating take on a subject very rarely examined. He takes value in recognizing these eccentrics and understanding their positive contributions to the world.

Download or read book The Relativity of Deviance written by John Curra and published by Pine Forge Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this Second Edition of his investigation into the relative nature of social deviance and how the public perceives it, author John Curra demonstrates that what qualifies as deviance varies from place to place, time to time, and situation to situation. Through thought-provoking examples that include the blue people of Kentucky, a woman who believes she is a vampire, autoerotic asphyxiators, and others, Curra illustrates that deviance cannot be explained in terms of absolutes, nor can it be understood apart from its social setting. This insightful book approaches sex, violence, theft, suicide, drugs, and mental disorders in such a way that definitive or objective judgments become impossible.

Download or read book Eccentricity and the Cultural Imagination in Nineteenth-Century Paris written by Miranda Gill and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2009-01-15 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What did it mean to call someone 'eccentric' in nineteenth-century Paris? And why did breaking with convention arouse such ambivalent responses in middle-class readers, writers, and spectators? From high society to Bohemia and the demi-monde to the madhouse, the scandal of nonconformism provoked anxiety, disgust, and often secret yearning. In a culture preoccupied by the need for order yet simultaneously drawn to the values of freedom and innovation, eccentricity continually tested the boundaries of bourgeois identity, ultimately becoming inseparable from it. This interdisciplinary study charts shifting French perceptions of the anomalous and bizarre from the 1830s to the fin de siècle, focusing on three key issues. First, during the July Monarchy eccentricity was linked to fashion, dandyism, and commodity culture; to many Parisians it epitomized the dangerous seductions of modernity and the growing prestige of the courtesan. Second, in the aftermath of the 1848 Revolution eccentricity was associated with the Bohemian artists and performers who inhabited 'the unknown Paris', a zone of social exclusion which middle-class spectators found both fascinating and repugnant. Finally, the popularization of medical theories of national decline in the latter part of the century led to decreasing tolerance for individual difference, and eccentricity was interpreted as a symptom of hidden insanity and deformity. Drawing on a wide range of sources, including etiquette manuals, fashion magazines, newspapers, novels, and psychiatric treatises, the study highlights the central role of gender in shaping perceptions of eccentricity. It provides new readings of works by major French writers and illuminates both well-known and neglected figures of Parisian modernity, from the courtesan and Bohemian to the female dandy and circus freak.

Download or read book Irish Literature Since 1800 written by Norman Vance and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-11 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book surveys Irish writing in English over the last two centuries, from Maria Edgeworth to Seamus Heaney, to give the literary student and the general reader an up-to-date sense of its variety and vitality and to indicate some of the ways in which it has been described and discussed. It begins with a brief outline of Irish history, of Irish writing in Irish and Latin, and of writing in English before 1800. Later chapters consider Irish romanticism, Victorian Ireland, W.B.Yeats and the Irish Literary Revival, new directions in Irish writing after Joyce and the literature of contemporary Ireland, north and south, from 1960 to the present.
