Jeb Stuart, leader of the cavalry of the Army of Northern Virginia, earned the admiration of his enemies during the first three years of the Civil War.

Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. Assumed First Edition. 354 Pages Indexed. Great condition perfect for Civil War collectors. Book and Jacket are protected with a Ployfit Demco covering from the time of purchase. In a time and place that elevated its military leaders to mythic status, J.E.B. Stuart stood second only to Robert E. Lee as the Confederacy's most romantic figure-a station Stuart well deserved. Bravely raiding Union camps, disappearing in a cloud of dust as quickly as he came, this legendary leader truly was the spirited cavalier history makes him out to be. Yet, as with most prominent and productive historical figures, there is a lot more to the man than his courageous deeds. Author Emory M. Thomas has thoroughly researched his fascinating subject to reveal the ambitious, sometimes self-absorbed man behind the myth-which Stuart himself steadfastly constructed. Emory introduces us to a Virginia-born West Point graduate who was so concerned with getting ahead that he married for social prominence; who, st prior to secession, simultaneously attempted to procure high standing in both the Confederate and the Union Armies; and who regularly exaggerated his achievements throughout his career. In the end, J.E.B. Stuart, plumed hat and all, is much more than a dashing personification of the Old South. He is a sensitive, complex, ingenious man who creatively pursued fame, glory and victory at all costs. Eventually, it cost him his life. He would have had it no other way.

Condizione: New.

Paperback. Condizione: New. In Breathing Aesthetics Jean-Thomas Tremblay argues that difficult breathing indexes the uneven distribution of risk in a contemporary era marked by the increasing contamination, weaponization, and monetization of air. Tremblay shows how biopolitical and necropolitical forces tied to the continuation of extractive capitalism, imperialism, and structural racism are embodied and experienced through respiration. They identify responses to the crisis in breathing in aesthetic practices ranging from the film work of Cuban American artist Ana Mendieta to the disability diaries of Bob Flanagan, to the Black queer speculative fiction of Renee Gladman. In readings of these and other minoritarian works of experimental film, endurance performance, ecopoetics, and cinema-vérité, Tremblay contends that articulations of survival now depend on the management and dispersal of respiratory hazards. In so doing, they reveal how an aesthetic attention to breathing generates historically, culturally, and environmentally situated tactics and strategies for living under precarity.…

Jean-Thomas Tremblay examines the prominence of breathing in responses to contemporary crises within literature, film, and performance cultures, showing how breathing has emerged as a medium through which biopolitical and necropolitical forces are increasingly exercised and experienced.

Paperback. Condizione: New. How films help us understand the inevitable death of Earth and humanity Offering a bracing theoretical corrective to ecocriticism's emphasis on pedagogies of care and interconnection, Negative Life: The Cinema of Extinction brings cinema studies, queer theory, and psychoanalysis into novel configuration around a concept inherent to yet critical of life: negative life, a sundering of the connections between human and nonhuman relations. Engaging questions and challenges such as the nothingness of existentialism, the aversive side of sex, and the immanent exception of the drive in psychoanalysis, coauthors Steven Swarbrick and Jean-Thomas Tremblay not only counter ecocritical pieties but cut a new path for theory. They engage a unique corpus of films and philosophies that reject the pastoralism of "entanglement" or "enmeshment," which have functioned as as an ethical and aesthetic alibi for extinction. Negative Life examines films by Julian PÖlsler, Kelly Reichardt, Lee Isaac Chung, Mahesh Matai, and Paul Schrader, which exemplify the existential contradictions that have intensified amid the sixth mass extinction; meanwhile, a set of interludes on the genre of ecohorror supplement this focus on negative life and the philosophers and theorists who express it. Each case study testifies formally and thematically to negative life as a structural condition of thought and film. Together, the titles that compose the titular cinema of extinction reveal the unlivable dimension of life and art, where form, desire, and nonbelonging tarry with the future-oriented promise of ecostudies-where all that lives connects. Negative Life militates against this promise, showing that faith in connection is a dead end.…
