Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. M'illumino/d'immenso - I'm lit/with immensity is Geoffrey Brock's translation of Giuseppe Ungaretti's poem Mattina. In the poem's minimalism, Ungaretti points to the maximal: the richness of poetry's expressive possibilities and the power of thinking in literature. This book addresses the fascination of readers to transcend the boundaries of their own in fiction, and literature's capacity, according to Kant, even to evoke, with the help of the development of aesthetic ideas, representations that exceed what is empirically and conceptually graspable - in case studies about myths of creativity, images of death and the beyond after the 'death of God', of the soul, of melancholy as the dark ground of genius, of metamorphoses of both evil and good, of ecstasy, of the economy of self-sacrifice, of the art of resistance, and, among others, about figurations of biography and the portrait as approaches to singularity, what is particular and cannot be fully subsumed to any universality.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. A woman is implicated in an assassination and captured on CCTV. Instead of looking for a truth behind the image - is she really guilty? - the writer and curator Shumon Basar dives deeper into the image itself. The kaleidoscopic result of this "paranoid, associative portrait" is the gateway for the authors of this volume to meme Basar's encounter with the digital image and to unfold what can be recognized as a post-digital image practice. To cut, to split, to reformat, to rearrange, to zoom - these techniques mix up the relation of reality and its representations and show that questions concerning the truthfulness of images under post-digital circumstances come to a dead end. The mimetic status of imagery, the search for the one and only original or false copy becomes an unsolvable quest in a world that is overloaded with images. What the authors of this volume therefore call for is not to neglect the concept of mimesis but to treat it as even more important - though as a dynamic not as a normative, hierarchical ranking tool.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Kleist has fascinated readers like no other German writer. How did a one-time soldier with an unremarkable literary education become one of the greatest innovators of German literature? What allows for the tragedy of his life? In what ways does his work speak to us today? In his great biography Gunter Blamberger gives us a new Kleist: Unlike conventional approaches, he does not try to understand Kleist's life from the perspective of its end-from the perspective of his suicide as the final catastrophe of a life in permanent crisis. Rather, he remains at eye-level with Kleist's present, narrating from the perspective of Kleist's experience-in the moment with him-capturing the unsettling or the astonishing in each phase of his life, the explosive nature of each one of his risky experiments in living and writing. The result is an indispensable work of German literary history-a vivid, captivating biography of one of the greatest literary geniuses of all time.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Thoreau in an Age of Crisis reconsiders the relevance of 19th-century American naturalist, philosopher, and social reformer Henry David Thoreau to our troubled present. This new anthology collects the work of fourteen leading scholars from various disciplines. They consider Thoreau's life and work in light of contemporary concerns regarding racism, climate change, environmental policy, and political strife. They review Thoreau's trajectory as a scientist and literary artist, as well as his evolving attitudes toward Native American cultures. The essaysists also consider Thoreau's acoustics, concepts of play, and impact on later writers. Most provocatively, they reveal a vulnerable and empathetic Thoreau, a far cry from the distanced and misanthropic critic often portrayed in popular culture. 29 b/w illus, 9 col illus & 2 b/w tbls.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The global socio-ecological crisis is making it increasingly clear that 'we' do not only act in interpersonal social and political relationships, but that non-human forms of life and relationships must also be taken into account in the critical analysis of our present. In light of that realization, this volume opens the question of the Menge (multitude, crowd) towards a post-anthropocentric perspective on multiplicity. Based on speculative readings of works by K. Barad, M. de la Cadena, and C. Vicuna, the essays illuminate how a human-and-more-than-human intra/sectional approach can help deconstruct the western hegemonic framework in contemporary cultural thinking from a transdisciplinary perspective.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. This volume explores and expands a Wittgensteinian account of philosophy as an ongoing transformative practice. It investigates the simultaneously aesthetic and ethical dimension of philosophical exercises, so as to uncover their transformative potential for and within ordinary practice, conceived of as a weave of inherited embodied habits. For this purpose, the volume focuses on three intertwined aspects. First, it analyzes the aesthetic form of Wittgenstein's writings. In particular, it considers the use of pictures, dialogues, comparisons, and instructions as exercises to be enacted by readers, thereby exploring their transformative (aesthetic and ethical) effects. Second, it draws a number of connections between Wittgenstein's philosophical exercises and particular aesthetic practices. Third, it sheds light on continuities and discontinuities between Wittgenstein's philosophy and the ancient understanding of philosophy as an exercise and a way of life, so as to sketch out an account of ethics as a practical attitude and way of being. In addition, by including pictures and a text in three different languages, this volume explores new ways of doing philosophy in a Wittgensteinian spirit.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Adventure fiction suggests that social conflicts can be displaced from the centre to the periphery of culture in order to be settled there by violent means. Its protagonists are endowed with extraordinary physical agency and a strange resilience to bodily and psychic wounds. This volume proposes a critical analysis of adventurous violence that foregrounds narratological issues as well as their socio-historical, political, and anthropological implications. Predicated on a broad diachronic perspective that challenges simple generalizations, the articles presented here cover a wide array of genres from ancient romance to the swashbuckling novel and a variety of contexts ranging from early modern state-building to colonialism, imperialism, and modern warfare.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. When the Werner Reimers Foundation organized a colloquium on Human Ethology in 1977, it was about Claims and Limits of a New Discipline as a bridge between biology and the social sciences and humanities. As a lost discipline, however, the interdisciplinary approach to ethology only takes shape in a dispersed dispositif. This is the framing argument, which derives from the nucleus of ethology, namely that the starting point of all knowledge is the body in its possibilities of movement in time and space to affect and be affected. In their essays (English or German), the contributors to this collection have worked through the heterogeneity of ethological thought - from Spinoza to Jakob von Uexkull, Gregory Bateson, Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, Philippe Descola, or Isabelle Stengers - and practice - as, for example in the works of Virginia Woolf or Marcel Beyer - and have taken it as an opportunity to relocate ethology, I. as an "Immanent Ecology," with essays by Kerstin Andermann, Hanjo Berressem, and Verena Andermatt Conley II. in the discussion of "Anthropological Contrasts," with essays by Marc Rolli, Mirjam Schaub, and Stefan Rieger, and III. in "Ethological Interferences and Practices," with essays by Stephan Zandt, Anthony Uhlmann, and Adrian Robanus A commentary by Sophia Grafe concludes the volume.
