Book Synopsis The "writing" of Modern Life by : Elizabeth K. Helsinger
Download or read book The "writing" of Modern Life written by Elizabeth K. Helsinger and published by Smart Museum of Art, the University of C. This book was released on 2008 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is it about etching that renders it--according to both the poet-critic Charles Baudelaire and the visionary artist Samuel Palmer--a medium of writing? And, moreover, what makes etching equally adaptable to the expression of both memory and modernity? The "Writing" of Modern Life examines British, French, and American artists who from the polemical beginnings of the Etching Revival in the 1850s to its twentieth-century afterlife practiced etching as a form of quasi-literary authorship. Whether or not these printmakers viewed etching as a medium for expressing thoughts or personality, as Baudelaire and Palmer claimed, they did find in the craft a way to suggest both elegiac recollection and the visual strangeness of modern life. Containing essays by Martha Tedeschi, Peyton Skipwith, Anna Arnar, Allison Morehead, and Elizabeth Helsinger, and generously illustrated with works by both well-known and less-heralded printmakers, The "Writing" of Modern Life is an interdisciplinary collection that will appeal to literary and art historians alike.

Book Synopsis Writing and the Modern Stage by : Julia Jarcho
Download or read book Writing and the Modern Stage written by Julia Jarcho and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-04-18 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is time to change the way we talk about writing in theater. This book offers a new argument that reimagines modern theater's critical power and places innovative writing at the heart of the experimental stage. While performance studies, German Theaterwissenschaft, and even text-based drama studies have commonly envisioned theatrical performance as something that must operate beyond the limits of the textual imagination, this book shows how a series of writers have actively shaped new conceptions of theater's radical potential. Engaging with a range of theorists, including Theodor Adorno, Jarcho reveals a modern tradition of 'negative theatrics,' whose artists undermine the here and now of performance in order to challenge the value and the power of the existing world. This vision emerges through surprising new readings of modernist classics - by Henry James, Gertrude Stein, and Samuel Beckett - as well as contemporary American works by Suzan-Lori Parks, Elevator Repair Service, and Mac Wellman.

Book Synopsis Writing the Modern City by : Sarah Edwards
Download or read book Writing the Modern City written by Sarah Edwards and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-03-12 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literary texts and buildings have always represented space, narrated cultural and political values, and functioned as sites of personal and collective identity. In the twentieth century, new forms of narrative have represented cultural modernity, political idealism and architectural innovation. Writing the Modern City explores the diverse and fascinating relationships between literature, architecture and modernity and considers how they have shaped the world today. This collection of thirteen original essays examines the ways in which literature and architecture have shaped a range of recognisably ‘modern’ identities. It focuses on the cultural connections between prose narratives – the novel, short stories, autobiography, crime and science fiction – and a range of urban environments, from the city apartment and river to the colonial house and the utopian city. It explores how the themes of memory, nation and identity have been represented in both literary and architectural works in the aftermath of early twentieth-century conflict; how the cultural movements of modernism and postmodernism have affected notions of canonicity and genre in the creation of books and buildings; and how and why literary and architectural narratives are influenced by each other’s formal properties and styles. The book breaks new ground in its exclusive focus on modern narrative and urban space. The essays examine texts and spaces that have both unsettled traditional definitions of literature and architecture and reflected and shaped modern identities: sexual, domestic, professional and national. It is essential reading for students and researchers of literature, cultural studies, cultural geography, art history and architectural history.

Book Synopsis Writing Changes: Alphabetic Text and Multimodal Composition by : Pegeen Reichert Powell
Download or read book Writing Changes: Alphabetic Text and Multimodal Composition written by Pegeen Reichert Powell and published by Modern Language Association. This book was released on 2020-04-01 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing Changes moves beyond restrictive thinking about composition to examine writing as a material and social practice rich with contradictions. It analyzes the assumed dichotomy between writing and multimodal composition (which incorporates sounds, images, and gestures) as well as the truism that all texts are multimodal. Organized in four sections, the essays explore • alphabetic text and multimodal composition in writing studies • specific pedagogies that place writing in productive conversation with multimodal forms • current representations of writing and multimodality in textbooks, of instructors' attitudes toward social media, and of writing programs • ideas about writing studies as a discipline in the light of new communication practices Bookending the essays are an introduction that frames the collection and establishes key terms and concepts and an epilogue that both sums up and complicates the ideas in the essays.
Book Synopsis Writing the Modern Family by : Roberta Garrett
Download or read book Writing the Modern Family written by Roberta Garrett and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-01-29 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although a large body of work has emerged which addresses neoliberal representations of the family in other cultural forms (such as parenting advice programmes) little has been written specifically on the family and contemporary literature. This book examines the growing body of autobiographical and fictional writing on family and parenting issues in Anglo-American culture from the late 1990s to the present day. The book looks closely at six distinct genres which have arisen during this time frame: the misery memoir, the mum’s lit popular novel, the maternal confessional, ‘dads’ lit, the dysfunctional domestic novel and the family noir. Writing the Modern Family will examine the way these burgeoning areas of British and American writing respond to a neoliberal public discourse in which a ‘parenting deficit’ rather than economic and structural disadvantage, is responsible for increasing inequality in child welfare and achievement. In evaluating these forms and their relationship to neoliberal culture, the book will also consider the complex interrelationship between these genres.
