Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Plays of Samuel Beckett Eugene Webb first summarizes the western philosophical tradition which has culminated in the void--the centuries of attempts to impose form and meaning on existence, the failure of which has left experience in fragments and man a stranger in an unintelligible universe. Succeeding chapters take up the plays work by work, interpreting each individually and tracing recurrent motifs, themes, and images to show the continuity in the underlying tendencies of Beckett's mind and art.

Book Synopsis Krapp's Last Tape and Other Shorter Plays by : Samuel Beckett
Download or read book Krapp's Last Tape and Other Shorter Plays written by Samuel Beckett and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2012-10-04 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Krapp's Last Tape was first performed by Patrick Magee at the Royal Court Theatre in October 1958, and described as 'a solo, if that is the word, for one voice and two organs: one human, one mechanical. It fills few pages. It is perhaps the most original and important play of its length ever written.' (Roy Walker) The present volume brings together Krapp's Last Tape and Beckett's other shorter works or 'dramaticules' written for the stage. It will be complemented by a forthcoming Faber edition of dramatic works written for radio and screen. Arranged in chronological order of composition, these shorter plays exhibit the laconic means and compassionate ends of Beckett's dramatic vision. KRAPP 'Here I end this reel. Box - [ Pause.] - three, spool - [ Pause.] - five. [ Pause.] Perhaps my best years have gone. When there was a chance of happiness. But I wouldn't want them back. Not with the fire in me now. No, I wouldn't want them back. [ Staring motionless before him.]

Book Synopsis The Expelled/The Calmative/The End with First Love by : Samuel Beckett
Download or read book The Expelled/The Calmative/The End with First Love written by Samuel Beckett and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2012-09-20 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These four stories or 'nouvelles' date from 1945, though all were published much later, in French and subsequently in English. All make use of a first-person narrator, and relish its vagaries - the inability to remember facts, the uncertainty as to why he is speaking in the first place, the loss of heart when explanations seem called for... Above all, the stories crisply plot the narrator's plotless descent into vagrancy, the steeper as it approaches The End . Out of these short works and their patient procedures grew the large canvases of Molloy and Malone Dies. My bench was still there. It was shaped to fit the curves of the seated body. It stood beside a watering trough, gift of a Mrs Maxwell to the city horses, according to the inscription. During the short time I rested there, several horses took advantage of the monument. The iron shoes approached and the jingle of the harness. Then silence. That was the horse looking at me. Then the noise of pebbles and mud that horses make when drinking. Then the silence again. That was the horse looking at me again. Then the pebbles again. Then the silence again. Till the horse had finished drinking or the driver deemed it had drunk its fill. Edited by Christopher Ricks

Book Synopsis Imagination in an Age of Crisis by : Jason Goroncy
Download or read book Imagination in an Age of Crisis written by Jason Goroncy and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-06-01 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the vital role of the imagination in today’s complex climates—cultural, environmental, political, racial, religious, spiritual, intellectual, etc. It asks: What contribution do the arts make in a world facing the impacts of globalism, climate change, pandemics, and losses of culture? What wisdom and insight, and orientation for birthing hope and action in the world, do the arts offer to religious faith and to theological reflection? These essays, poems, and short reflections—written by art practitioners and academics from a diversity of cultures and religious traditions—demonstrate the complex cross-cultural nature of this conversation, examining critical questions in dialogue with various art forms and practices, and offering a way of understanding how the human imagination is formed, sustained, employed, and expanded. Marked by beauty and wonder, as well as incisive critique, it is a unique collection that brings unexpected voices into a global conversation about imagining human futures.
Book Synopsis Approaching Hegel's Logic, Obliquely by : Angelica Nuzzo
Download or read book Approaching Hegel's Logic, Obliquely written by Angelica Nuzzo and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2018-12-01 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unprecedented reading of Hegels Logic that sets this difficult work in a dialogue with literary texts. In this book, Angelica Nuzzo proposes a reading of Hegels Logic as logic of transformation and logic of action, and supports this thesis by looking to works of literature and history as exemplary of Hegels argument and method. By examining Melvilles Billy Budd, Molières Tartuffe, Becketts Endgame, Elizabeth Bishops and Giacomo Leopardis late poetry along with Thucydides History in this way, Nuzzo finds an unprecedented and productive way to render Hegels Logic alive and engaging. She argues that Melvilles Billy Budd is the most successful embodiment of the abstract movement of thinking presented in Hegels Logic, connecting Billy Budds stutter to the puzzlingly inarticulate beginning of Hegels Logic, Being, pure Being, identical with Nothing, and argues that the Logic serves as an especially appropriate tool for understanding the sudden violent action that strikes Claggart dead. Through these and other readings, Nuzzo finds a fresh way to address interpretive issues that have remained unresolved for almost two centuries in Hegel scholarship, and also presents well-known works of literature in an entirely new light. This account of Hegels Logic is framed by the need for an interpretive tool able to orient our understanding of the contemporary world as mired in an unprecedented global crisis. How can the story of our historical presentthe tragedy or the comedy we all play parts inbe told? What is the inner logic of our changing world? Angelica Nuzzo presents an original interpretation of Hegels Logic by representing it as a logic of action. This novel approach is supported by insightful readings of the literary texts she covers in the book. Andrew Cutrofello, author of All for Nothing: Hamlets Negativity
Book Synopsis The Literature of Exclusion by : Andrew C. Wenaus
Download or read book The Literature of Exclusion written by Andrew C. Wenaus and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-05-05 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early twentieth century, the Dadaists protested against art, nationalism, the individual subject, and technologized war. With their automatic anti-art and cultural disruptiveness, Dadaists sought to “signify no thing.” Today, data also operates autonomously. However, rather than dismantling tradition, data organizes, selects, combines, quantifies, and simplifies the complexity of actuality. Like Dada, data also signifies nothing. While Dadaists protest with purpose, data proceeds without intention. The individual in the early twentieth century agonizes over the alienation from daily life and the fear of being converted into a cog in a machine. Today, however, the individual in twenty-first-century supermodernity merges, not with large industrial machinery, but with the processual and procedural logic of programming with innocuous ease. Both exclude human agency from self-narration but to differing degrees of abstraction. Examining the work of B.R. Yeager, Samuel Beckett, Jeff Noon, Kenji Siratori, Mike Bonsall, Allison Parrish, and narratives written by artificial intelligence, Wenaus considers the threshold of sensible narration and the effects that the shift from a culture of language to a culture of digital code has on lived experience. While data offers a closed system, Dadaist literature of exclusion, he suggests, promises a future of open, hyper-contingent, unprescribed alternatives for self-narration.
