Описание: The boundary between semantics and pragmatics has been important since the early twentieth century, but in the last twenty-five years it has become the central issue in the philosophy of language. This anthology collects classic philosophical papers on the topic, along with recent key contributions. It stresses not only the nature of the boundary, but also its importance for philosophy generally.

Описание: A new survey of twentieth-century U.S. poetry that places a special emphasis on poets who have put lyric poetry in dialogue with other forms of creative expression, including modern art, the novel, jazz, memoir, and letters. Contesting readings of twentieth-century American poetry as hermetic and narcissistic, Morris interprets the lyric as a scene of instruction and thus as a public-oriented genre. American poets from Robert Frost to Sherman Alexie bring aesthetics to bear on an exchange that asks readers to think carefully about the ethical demands of reading texts as a reflection of how we metaphorically "read" the world around us and the persons, places, and things in it. His survey focuses on poems that foreground scenes of conversation, teaching, and debate involving a strong-willed lyric speaker and another self, bent on resisting how the speaker imagines the world.

Описание: Espectros is a compilation of original scholarly studies that presents the first volume-length exploration of the spectral in literature, film, and photography of Latin America, Spain, and the Latino diaspora. In recent decades, scholarship in deconstructionist "hauntology," trauma studies, affect in image theory, and a renewed interest in the Gothic genre, has given rise to a Spectral Studies approach to the study of narrative. Haunting, the spectral, and the effects of the unseen, carry a special weight in contemporary Latin American and Spanish cultures (referred to in the book as Transhispanic cultures ), due to the ominous legacy of authoritarian governments and civil wars, as well as the imposition of the unseen yet tangible effects of global economics and neoliberal policies. Ribas and Petersen s detailed introductory analysis grounds haunting as a theoretical tool for literary and cultural criticism in the Transhispanic world, with an emphasis on the contemporary period from the end of the Cold War to the present. The chapters in this volume explore haunting from a diversity of perspectives, in particular engaging haunting as a manifestation of trauma, absence, and mourning. The editors carefully distinguish the collective, cultural dimension of historical trauma from the individual, psychological experience of the aftermath of a violent history, always taking into account unresolved social justice issues. The volume also addresses the association of the spectral photographic image with the concept of haunting because of the photograph s ability to reveal a presence that is traditionally absent or has been excluded from hegemonic representations of society. The volume concludes with a series of studies that address the unseen effects and progressive deterioration of the social fabric as a result of a globalized economy and neoliberal policies, from the modernization of the nation-state to present."

Описание: Multiple Cities, Multiple Subjectivities in the Contemporary African American Novel: Discursive Practices of Whiteness in Everyday Urban Encounters examines the post-1990s African American novels, namely the "neo-urban novel," developing a new urban discourse for the 21st century on how the city as a social formation impacts black characters through everyday discursive practices of whiteness. The critique of everyday life in a racial context is o important in considering diverse forms of the lived reality of black everyday life in the novelistic representations of the white dominant urban order. Even if the African American novels, studied in this book, are not all published in post-9/11, they help us see where the lack of interactional social relations has led Americans to where they are, namely the culture of fear, seeing all people of color as an ominous threat. African American fictional representations of the city have political significance in that the "neo-urban novel" explores the nature, indeed the very possibility of a dialogic communication with the American society at large. The book explores the need to understand how whiteness works, what it forecloses, and what it occasionally opens up in everyday life in American society. The book consists of seven chapters on Walter Mosley s Devil in a Blue Dress (1990) and Little Scarlet (2004), John Edgar Wideman s Two Cities (1998), Percival Everett s I am Not Sidney Poitier (2009), Martha Southgate s The Fall of Rome (2002), Asha Bandele s Daughter (2003), and Michael Thomas Man Gone Down (2007) that explore how the strategic employment of blackness can offer ways of subverting the discursive power of the white embodied self. These novels also probe how the relationship of a white person to his/her own self changes, once s/he is undone, and becomes, to a certain extent unknowable. All in all, it is impossible to erase the color-lines by all means in the US as much as across the globe, but this book may contribute to finding new ways/strategies of deconstructing, hopefully unconstructing in the long run, racial hierarchies in an attempt to expand the boundaries of the ongoing critique of racism, neocolonialism, and globalization (built upon the white supremacist vision) in the 20th and 21st centuries.
