Автор: Greve Julius Название: Shreds of Matter: Cormac McCarthy and the Concept of Nature ISBN: 1512603406 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781512603408 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 62070.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Shreds of Matter: Cormac McCarthy and the Concept of Nature offers a nuanced and innovative take on McCarthy's ostensible localism and, along with it, the ecocentric perspective on the world that is assumed by most critics. In opposing the standard interpretations of McCarthy's novels as critical either of persisting American ideologies--such as manifest destiny and imperialism--or of the ways in which humanity has laid waste to planet Earth, Greve instead emphasizes the author's interest both in the history of science and in the mythographical developments of religious discourse. Greve aims to counter traditional interpretations of McCarthy's work and at the same time acknowledge their partial truth, taking into account the work of Friedrich W. J. Schelling and Lorenz Oken, contemporary speculative realism, and Bertrand Westphal's geocriticism. Further, newly discovered archival material sheds light on McCarthy's immersion in the metaphysical question par excellence: What is nature?
Автор: Andrew Keller Estes Название: Cormac McCarthy and the Writing of American Spaces ISBN: 904203629X ISBN-13(EAN): 9789042036291 Издательство: Brill Рейтинг: Цена: 90320.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: In Cormac McCarthy and the Writing of American Spaces Andrew Estes examines ideas about the land as they emerge in the later fiction of this important contemporary author. McCarthy's texts are shown to be part of larger narratives about American environments. Against the backdrop of the emerging discipline of environmental criticism, Estes investigates the way space has been constructed in U.S. American writing. Cormac McCarthy is found to be heir to diametrically opposed concepts of space: as something Americans embraced as either overwhelmingly positive and reinvigorating or as rather negative and threatening. McCarthy's texts both replicate this binary thinking about American environments and challenge readers to reconceive traditional ways of seeing space. Breaking new ground as to how literary landscapes and spaces are critically assessed this study seeks to examine the many detailed descriptions of the physical world in McCarthy on their own terms. Adding to so-called 'second wave' environmental criticism, it reaches beyond an earlier, limited understanding of the environment as 'nature' to consider both natural landscapes and built environments. Chapter one discusses the field of environmental criticism in reference to McCarthy while chapter two offers a brief narrative of conceptions of space in the U.S. Chapter three highlights trends in McCarthy criticism. Chapters four through eight provide close readings of McCarthy's later novels, from Blood Meridian to The Road.

"You forget what you want to remember, and you remember what you want to forget." - Cormac McCarthy
An adventure where almost no hope remains and the protagonists must survive in a world where almost everyone has perished. Sustained solely by love, they keep going without giving up, in hope that everything turns out they way they want. It's a touching title where you can witness how the father-son tenderness is able to keep them alive.
The Road demonstrates how corrupt people can be when they have no rules that bind them.

A leader of the transcendentalist movement and one of the country�s first public intellectuals, Ralph Waldo Emerson has been a long-standing presence in American literature courses. Today he is remembered for his essays, but in the nineteenth century he was also known as a poet and orator who engaged with issues such as religion, nature, education, and abolition.
This volume presents strategies for placing Emerson in the context of his time, for illuminating his rhetorical techniques, and for tracing his influence into the present day and around the world. Part 1, �Materials,� offers guidance for selecting classroom editions and information on Emerson�s life, contexts, and reception. Part 2, �Approaches,� provides suggestions for teaching Emerson�s works in a variety of courses, not only literature but also creative writing, religion, digital humanities, media studies, and environmental studies. The essays in this section address Emerson�s most frequently anthologized works, such as Nature and �Self-Reliance,� along with other texts including sermons, lectures, journals, and poems.
Автор: Luis Alvarez-Castro Название: Approaches to Teaching the Works of Miguel de Unamuno ISBN: 1603294716 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781603294713 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 73570.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: A central figure of Spanish culture and an author in many genres, Miguel de Unamuno (1864-1936) is less well known outside Spain. He was a surprising writer and thinker: a professor of Greek who embraced metafiction and modernist methods; a proponent of Castilian Spanish although born in the Basque country and influenced by many international writers; religious yet an early existentialist. He found himself in opposition to both King Alfonso XIII and the military dictatorship of Jos? Primo de Rivera, then became involved in the political upheaval that led to the Spanish Civil War.Part 1 of this volume, "Materials," gives information on different editions and translations of Unamuno's works, on scholarly and critical secondary sources, and on Web resources. The essays in part 2, "Approaches," offer suggestions for introducing students to the range of his works--novels, essays, poetry, and philosophy--in Spanish language and literature and comparative literature classrooms.
