Автор: Fancy David, Skott-Myhre Hans Название: Art as Revolt: Thinking Politics Through Immanent Aesthetics ISBN: 0773557296 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780773557291 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 31730.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: How can we imagine a future not driven by capitalist assumptions about humans and the wider world? How are a range of contemporary artistic and popular cultural practices already providing pathways to post-capitalist futures? Authors from a variety of disciplines answer these questions through writings on blues and hip hop, virtual reality, post-colonial science fiction, virtual gaming, riot grrrls and punk, raku pottery, post-pornography fanzines, zombie films, and role playing. The essays in Art as Revolt are clustered around themes such as technology and the future, aesthetics and resistance, and ethnographies of the self beyond traditional understandings of identity. Using philosophies of immanence – describing a system that gives rise to itself, independent of outside forces – drawn from a rich and evolving tradition that includes Spinoza, Nietzsche, Deleuze, and Braidotti, the authors and editors provide an engrossing range of analysis and speculation. Together the essays, written by experts in their fields, stage an important collective, transdisciplinary conversation about how best to talk about art and politics today. Sophisticated in its theoretical and philosophical premises, and engaging some of the most pressing questions in cultural studies and artistic practice today, Art as Revolt does not provide comfortable closure. Instead, it is understood by its authors to be a "Dionysian machine," a generator of open-ended possibility and potential that challenges readers to affirm their own belief in the futures of this world. Contributors include Timothy J. Beck (University of West Georgia), Mark Bishop (Independent Scholar), Dave Collins (University of West Georgia), David Fancy (Brock University), Veronica Pacini-Ketchabaw (University of Western Ontario), Malisa Kurtz (Independent Scholar), Nicole Land (Toronto Metropolitan University), Eric Lochhead (Youth Author Calgary Alberta), Douglas Ord (Doctoral Student University of Western Ontario), Joanna Perkins (Independent Scholar), Peter Rehberg (Institute for Cultural Inquiry—Berlin), Chris Richardson (Young Harris College), Hans Skott-Myhre (Kennesaw State University), and Kathleen Skott-Myhre (University of West Georgia).

Описание: Best Fifteen Books of March 2019, Refinery29 Best Nonfiction Books of 2019, Paste Magazine Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. Fetishized, demonized, celebrated, and outlawed, the high heel is central to the iconography of modern womanhood. But are high heels good? Are they feminist? What does it mean for a woman (or, for that matter, a man) to choose to wear them?Meditating on the labyrinthine nature of sexual identity and the performance of gender, High Heel moves from film to fairytale, from foot binding to feminism, and from the golden ratio to glam rock. Summer Brennan considers this most provocative of fashion accessories as a nexus of desire and struggle, sex and society, violence and self expression, setting out to understand what it means to be a woman by walking a few hundred years in her shoes.Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic .
Автор: Michelle Royer Название: The Cinema of Marguerite Duras: Multisensoriality and Female Subjectivity ISBN: 1474427855 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781474427852 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 17940.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Examines how the films of Marguerite Duras create a multisensorial experience for spectators
The writer Marguerite Duras was a key figure in post-war French cinema, pioneering innovations such as the disjunction of film and image, and the primacy given to voices, silence and music. Her multisensorial approach opened up new spaces for the female experience to be expressed. Although she worked with some of the best French visual technicians and musicians of her time, critiques have often neglected the visual and sonic aesthetics of her films, and their effects on spectators. Drawing on theories of embodiment and spectatorship, this book analyses the tactility and multisensoriality of Duras' films, and how they relate to her female-centred perspective.
Key features
Examines how the director's filmic innovations create a sensorial space for the female experience to be expressed
Builds on recent work on film as a multisensory medium
Covers Duras's entire film production, including short films and early adaptations

Автор: Sarah LaChance Adams, Caroline R. Lundquist Название: Coming to Life: Philosophies of Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Mothering ISBN: 0823244601 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780823244607 Издательство: Wiley EDC Рейтинг: Цена: 118970.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Coming to Life: Philosophies of Pregnancy, Childbirth and Mothering is a superlative collection of essays that does what too few scholarly works have dared: it takes seriously the philosophical significance of women’s lived experience. Every woman, regardless of her own reproductive story, is touched by the often restrictive beliefs and norms governing discourses about pregnancy, childbirth and mothering. Thus the concerns of this anthology are relevant to all women and central to any philosophical project that takes women’s lives seriously. In this volume 16 authors- including both established feminists and some of today’s most innovative new scholars- engage in sustained reflection on the experiences of pregnancy, childbirth and mothering, and on the beliefs, customs, and political institutions by which those experiences are informed. Many of the topics in this collection, though familiar, are here taken up in a new way: contributors think beyond the traditional pro-choice/pro-life dichotomy, speak to the manifold nature of mothering by considering the experiences of adoptive mothers and birthmothers, and upend the belief that childrearing practices must be uniform despite psycho-sexual differences in children. Many chapters reveal the radical shortcomings of conventional philosophical wisdom by placing trenchant assumptions about subjectivity, gender, power and virtue in dialogue with women’s experience. The volume is diverse both in its content and in its scholarly approach; certain of the essays are informed by their authors’ own experiences, others draw from extant narratives; many engage such canonical thinkers as Plato, Aristotle, Nietzsche and Heidegger, while others draw from the works of contemporary feminists including Sara Ruddick, Iris Marion Young, Virginia Held, Julia Kristeva and Luce Irigaray. All readers, regardless of their philosophical training and commitments, will find much to appreciate in this volume.

Описание: Partie, depuis 1974, est reste, non pas lettre morte, mais lettre tue, accueillie par un silence de presque quarante ans – alors que l’une de ses voisines, Finnegans Wake, bruisse et fait parler d’elle. Certains textes, comme certains vins, grandissent a l’ombre de vastes foudres – sous voile. Quel etrange voile a maintenu ce texte (et, en partie, l’?uvre immense a laquelle elle a servi de laboratoire et de chambre d’echos) a l’ecart des chemins de la lecture ? Selon Jacques Derrida l’?uvre d’Helene Cixous reste meconnue « pour des raisons qui, explicitees, reveleraient tout ce qui, en ce siecle et surtout en ce pays, s’interdit » (Voiles). Qu’est-ce qui, en Partie, s’interdit ou ne se dit que sous voile ? Beaucoup de choses : le « sujet » s’y fait machine de guerre post-identitaire ; l’objet-livre s’y fait reversible, retors comme un ver ; la litterature s’y connecte a ses envers (parmi lesquels Alice et ses miroirs, ou Proust, parti du cote de « chez Swann » et non de « chez soi »). Livre-ovni, Partie est ici lu comme un cousin possible du Finnegans Wake de Joyce, mais aussi en tant que livre-monde, parti guerroyer contre les scleroses de la pensee occidentale – ici aux prises avec « heideguerre » ou la « pissecanalyse ». Ce volume aborde Partie en tant que puissance ouvrante, ?uvre forte ou puiser comme a une reserve de voix resistantes.

Автор: Aimee Armande Wilson Название: Conceived in Modernism: The Aesthetics and Politics of Birth Control ISBN: 1501307134 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781501307133 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 116160.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Current debates about birth control can be surprisingly volatile, especially given the near-universal use of contraception among American and British women. Conceived in Modernism: The Aesthetics and Politics of Birth Control offers a new perspective on these debates by demonstrating that the political positions surrounding birth control have roots in literary concerns, specifically those of modernist writers. Whereas most scholarship treats modernism and birth control activism as parallel, but ultimately separate, movements, Conceived in Modernism shows that they were deeply intertwined. This book argues not only that literary concerns exerted a lasting influence on the way activists framed the emerging politics of contraception, but that birth control activism helped shape some of modernism’s most innovative concepts. By revealing the presence of literary aesthetics in the discourse surrounding birth control, Conceived in Modernism helps us see this discourse as a variable facet rather than a permanent bulwark of reproductive rights debates.
