Book Synopsis Strange Fits of Passion by : Anita Shreve
Download or read book Strange Fits of Passion written by Anita Shreve and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 1999-11-11 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Thrilling and finely written” with an ingenious structure, a powerful portrait of truth, deception, and a troubled marriage from the bestselling author (The New Yorker). Everyone believes that Maureen and Harrold English, two successful New York City journalists, have a happy, stable marriage. It’s the early ’70s, and no one discusses or even suspects domestic abuse. But after Maureen suffers another brutal beating, she flees with her infant daughter to a coastal town in Maine. The weeks pass slowly, and just as Maureen settles into her new life and new identity, Harrold reappears, bringing the story to a violent, unforgettable climax. Nearly nineteen years later, a cache of documents regarding Maureen English is given to her daughter by a journalist. The truth should lie within them, but the papers raise far more questions than they answer . . . “Superbly rendered . . . both touching and troubling. The box-within-a-box structure moves Shreve’s subtle and searing book beyond the contemporary horror genre. It creates a kind of double novel.” —Cosmopolitan “The novel has a thought-provoking twist at the end, and Shreve leaves us with [a] haunting [question]: ‘Who could ever know where a story had begun?’” —The Washington Post Book World “Her elegiac, portentous prose provides effective pacing . . . insightful and moving.” —Publishers Weekly “A superbly crafted, intelligently written exploration of the complicities of an abusive relationship . . . Highly recommended.” —Booklist (starred review)

Book Synopsis Blake's Agitation by : Steven Goldsmith
Download or read book Blake's Agitation written by Steven Goldsmith and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2013-03-15 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the Romantic period, the critical thinker's enthusiasm has served to substantiate his or her agency in the world. Blake’s Agitation is a thorough and engaging reflection on the dynamic, forward-moving, and active nature of critical thought. Steven Goldsmith investigates the modern notion that there’s a fiery feeling in critical thought, a form of emotion that gives authentic criticism the potential to go beyond interpreting the world. By arousing this critical excitement in readers and practitioners, theoretical writing has the power to alter the course of history, even when the only evidence of its impact is the emotion it arouses. Goldsmith identifies William Blake as a paradigmatic example of a socially critical writer who is moved by enthusiasm and whose work, in turn, inspires enthusiasm in his readers. He traces the particular feeling of engaged, dynamic urgency that characterizes criticism as a mode of action in Blake’s own work, in Blake scholarship, and in recent theoretical writings that identify the heightened affect of critical thought with the potential for genuine historical change. Within each of these horizons, the critical thinker’s enthusiasm serves to substantiate his or her agency in the world, supplying immediate, embodied evidence that criticism is not one thought-form among many but an action of consequence, accessing or even enabling the conditions of new possibility necessary for historical transformation to occur. The resulting picture of the emotional agency of criticism opens up a new angle on Blake’s literary and visual legacy and offers a vivid interrogation of the practical potential of theoretical discourse.

Book Synopsis Hauntological Dramaturgy by : Glenn D’Cruz
Download or read book Hauntological Dramaturgy written by Glenn D’Cruz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-03-03 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about some of the ways we remember the dead through performance. It examines the dramaturgical techniques and strategies that enable artists to respond to the imperative: ‘Remember Me’ – the command King Hamlet’s ghost gives to his son in Shakespeare’s famous tragedy, Hamlet. The book develops the concept of hauntological dramaturgy by engaging with a series of performances that commemorate, celebrate, investigate, and sometimes seek justice for the dead. It draws on three interrelated discourses on haunting: Derrida’s hauntology with its ethical exhortation to be with ghosts and listen to ghosts; Abraham and Torok’s psychoanalytic account of the role spectres play in the transmission of intergenerational trauma; and, finally, Mark Fisher's and Simon Reynolds’ development of Derrida’s ideas within the field of popular culture. Taken together, these writers, in different ways, suggest strategies for reading and creating performances concerned with questions of commemoration. Case studies focus on a set of known and unknown figures, including Ian Charleson, Spalding Gray and David Bowie. This study will be of great interest to students, scholars and practitioners working within theatre and performance studies as well as philosophy and cultural studies.
Book Synopsis Fashion | Sense by : Gwenda-lin Grewal
Download or read book Fashion | Sense written by Gwenda-lin Grewal and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-05-19 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fashion | Sense is designed to explode “fashion,” and with it, the stigma in philosophy against fashion's superficiality. Fashion appears to be altogether differently occupied, disingenuous and insubstantial, even sophistic in its pretense to peddle surfaces as if they were something deep. But is fashion's apparent beguilement more philosophical than it seems? And is philosophy's longing for exposed depth concealing fashion in its anti-fashion stance? Using primarily ancient Greek texts, peppered with allusions to their echoes across the history of philosophy and contemporary fashion and pop culture, Gwenda-lin Grewal not only examines the rift between fashion and philosophy, but also challenges the claim that fashion is modern. Indeed, fashion's quarrel with philosophy may be at least as ancient as that infamous quarrel between philosophy and poetry alluded to in Plato's Republic. And the quest for fashion's origins, as if a quest for a neutrally-outfitted self, stripped of the self-awareness that comes with thinking, prompts questions about human agency and our immersion in time. The touch of reality's fabric bristles in our relationship to our looks, not simply through the structure of clothes but in the plot of our wearing them. Meanwhile, the fashion of our words sharpens our meaning like a cutting silhouette. Grewal's own writing is playfully and daringly self-conscious, aware of its style and the entrapment it arouses from the very first line. The reactions provoked by fashion's flair, not only among the philosophical set but also among those who would never deck themselves out in the title, “philosopher,” show it forth as perhaps philosophy's most important and underestimated doppelgänger.
