Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Does Thoreau belong to the past or to the future? Instead of canonizing him as a celebrant of pure nature apart from the corruption of civilization, the essays in Thoreauvian Modernities reveal edgier facets of his workhow Thoreau is able to unsettle as well as inspire and how he is able to focus on both the timeless and the timely. Contributors from the United States and Europe explore Thoreaus modernity and give a much-needed reassessment of his work in a global context.The first of three sections, Thoreau and (Non)Modernity, views Thoreau as a social thinker who set himself against the modern currents of his day even while contributing to the emergence of a new era. By questioning the place of humans in the social, economic, natural, and metaphysical order, he ushered in a rethinking of humanitys role in the natural world that nurtured the environmental movement. The second section, Thoreau and Philosophy, examines Thoreaus writings in light of the philosophy of his time as well as current philosophical debates. Section three, Thoreau, Language, and the Wild, centers on his relationship to wild nature in its philosophical, scientific, linguistic, and literary dimensions. Together, these sixteen essays reveal Thoreaus relevance to a number of fields, including science, philosophy, aesthetics, environmental ethics, political science, and animal studies.Thoreauvian Modernities posits that it is the germinating power of Thoreaus thoughtthe challenge it poses to our own thinking and its capacity to address pressing issues in a new waythat defines his enduring relevance and his modernity.Contributors: Kristen Case, Randall Conrad, David Dowling, Michel Granger, Michel Imbert, Michael Jonik, Christian Maul, Bruno Monfort, Henrik Otterberg, Tom Pughe, David M.

Paperback. Condizione: New. 1st ed. 2016. This book gathers together an array of international scholars, critics, and artists concerned with the issue of walking as a theme in modern literature, philosophy, and the arts. Covering a wide array of authors and media from eighteenth-century fiction writers and travelers to contemporary film, digital art, and artists' books, the essays collected here take a broad literary and cultural approach to the art of walking, which has received considerable interest due to the burgeoning field of mobility studies. Contributors demonstrate how walking, far from constituting a simplistic, naïve, or transparent cultural script, allows for complex visions and reinterpretations of a human's relation to modernity, introducing us to a world of many different and changing realities.…
