        Stanley Cavell

        Philosophy, literature and criticism

        by James Loxley

        Stanley Cavell: Philosophy, literature, and criticism is the first book to offer a comprehensive examination of the relationship between the celebrated philosophical work of Stanley Cavell and the discipline of literary criticism. In this volume, the editors have assembled an impressive range of interlocutors who set out to explore the shape and substance of Stanley Cavell's persistent acknowledgement of the literary as a category in which, and through which, philosophical work can be undertaken. A number of essays address his engagements with modernism, tragedy, and romanticism, while others consider Cavell's own aesthetic modes as a writer. Stanley Cavell: Philosophy, literature, and criticism will be of interest to all those who are concerned with the ways in which the reading of literature, and the practice of philosophy, might continue both to influence each other across disciplinary boundaries, and to challenge the internal topographies of those disciplines. ;

        Graham Swift
        Literature & Literary Studies
        December 2005

        Graham Swift

        by Daniel Lea, Susan Williams

        This book offers an accessible critical introduction to the work of Graham Swift, one of Britain's most significant contemporary authors. Through detailed readings of his novels and short stories from 'The Sweet Shop Owner' (1980) to 'The Light of Day' (2003), Daniel Lea lucidly addresses the key themes of history, loss, masculinity and ethical redemption, to present a fresh approach to Swift. This study proposes that one of the side-effects of modernity has been the destruction of traditional pathways of self and collective belief, leading to a loss of understanding between individuals about their duties to each other and to society. Swift's writing returns repeatedly to the question of what we can believe in when all the established markers of identity - family, community, gender, profession, history - have become destabilised. Lea suggests that Swift increasingly moves towards a notion of redemption through a lived ethical practice as the only means of finding solace in a world lacking a central symbolic authority. ;

        Modern European cinema and love

        by Richard Rushton

        Modern European cinema and love examines nine European directors whose films contain stories about romantic love and marriage. The directors are Jean Renoir, Ingmar Bergman, Alain Resnais, Michelangelo Antonioni, Agnès Varda, François Truffaut, Federico Fellini, Jean-Luc Godard and Éric Rohmer. The book approaches questions of love and marriage from a philosophical perspective, applying the ideas of authors such as Stanley Cavell, Leo Bersani, Luce Irigaray and Alain Badiou, while also tracing key concepts from Freudian psychoanalysis. Each of the filmmakers engages deeply with notions of modern love and marriage, often in positive ways, but also in ways that question the institutions of love, marriage and the 'couple'.

        The Clockwork Testament or: Enderby's End

        By Anthony Burgess

        by Ákos Farkas, Anthony Burgess

        First published in 1974, this novel is a semi-autobiographical reflection on the author's experience of having been the subject of Stanley Kubrick's film adaptation of A Clockwork Orange in 1971. This is the end of Enderby, Anthony Burgess's finest comic creation. Dyspeptic and obese, this is the account of his last day as a visiting professor in New York, and his last day on Earth. The Irwell Edition of The Clockwork Testament will provide new information about the genesis of the novel, gleaned from a series of drafts and typescripts recently discovered in the archive of the International Anthony Burgess Foundation (IABF) in Manchester, as well as printing a deleted chapter for the first time in English.

        Travellers in Africa

        British travelogues, 1850-1900

        by Timothy Youngs

        Works of travel have been the subject of increasingly sophisticated studies in recent years. This book undermines the conviction with which nineteenth-century British writers talked about darkest Africa. It places the works of travel within the rapidly developing dynamic of Victorian imperialism. Images of Abyssinia and the means of communicating those images changed in response to social developments in Britain. As bourgeois values became increasingly important in the nineteenth century and technology advanced, the distance between the consumer and the product were justified by the scorn of African ways of eating. The book argues that the ambiguities and ambivalence of the travellers are revealed in their relation to a range of objects and commodities mentioned in narratives. For instance, beads occupy the dual role of currency and commodity. The book deals with Henry Morton Stanley's expedition to relieve Emin Pasha, and attempts to prove that racial representations are in large part determined by the cultural conditions of the traveller's society. By looking at Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, it argues that the text is best read as what it purports to be: a kind of travel narrative. Only when it is seen as such and is regarded in the context of the fin de siecle can one begin to appreciate both the extent and the limitations of Conrad's innovativeness.

        Sanfter Schrecken

        10 ruchlose Geschichten

        by Stanley Ellin, Bernd Rauschenbach, Arno Schmidt, Ellery Queen

        Der Restaurant-Chef, der seinen Stammgästen ab und zu als Spezialität des Hauses einen der Ihren serviert; der kleine Angestellte, der für seinen mächtigen Chef einen Quälgeist aus dem Hochhausfenster fallen lässt; der schizophrene Schachspieler, der die Züge der weißen Figuren ebenso dem anderen überlässt wie den Mord an seiner Frau: scheinbar harmlose Mitbürger allesamt, deren verborgene Abgründe der amerikanische Kriminalschriftsteller Stanley Ellin in zehn Geschichten vorsichtig und fast liebevoll beleuchtet. Eigentlich mochte Arno Schmidt das Krimi-Genre nicht besonders, aber als ihm 1960 ein Band mit Kurzgeschichten Stanley Ellins zur Übersetzung angeboten wurde, zögerte er nicht – und urteilte ein Jahr später in seinem Essay Die 10 Kammern des Blaubart über den amerikanischen Kollegen: »Falls es ihm gelingen sollte, (und in diesen 10 Geschichten zeigen sich unverächtliche Ansätze), zum Tiefsinn seiner Fabeln und der schlechthin vorbildlich knappen Konstruktion sich auch noch eine dichterische Sprache zu erarbeiten – ja, dann könnte es sein, daß wir binnen kurzem einen neuen, wiederum amerikanischen, Poe begrüßen dürfen. Zeit wäre es.«

        Der Anspruch der Vernunft

        Der Anspruch der Vernunft

        Wittgenstein, Skeptizismus, Moral und Tragödie

        by Stanley Cavell, Christiana Goldmann, Susan Neiman

        Der Anspruch der Vernunft gehört zu den großen philosophischen Büchern des 20. Jahrhunderts und hat eine ganze Generation von Philosophen beeinflusst. Ungewöhnlich breit angelegt, komplex in der Argumentation, eigenwillig im Stil, eröffnet uns Stanley Cavell in seinem Opus magnum neue Zugänge zu zentralen epistemologischen, metaphysischen, ethischen und ästhetischen Fragen. Insbesondere seine Wittgenstein-Lektüre und die Art, wie er sie für eine raffinierte Umdeutung des Skeptizismus fruchtbar macht, haben bis heute nichts an Originalität eingebüßt. Die Macht der Skepsis, so Cavell, lässt sich nicht durch das Streben nach letzten Wahrheiten brechen, sondern nur dadurch, dass wir uns die Welt auf geradezu romantische Weise ständig zurückerobern. Ein Klassiker.

        The Arctic in the British imagination 1818–1914

        by Andrew Thompson, John M. MacKenzie, Rob David

        The Arctic region has been the subject of much popular writing. This book considers nineteenth-century representations of the Arctic, and draws upon an extensive range of evidence that will allow the 'widest connections' to emerge from a 'cross-disciplinary analysis' using different methodologies and subject matter. It positions the Arctic alongside more thoroughly investigated theatres of Victorian enterprise. In the nineteenth century, most images were in the form of paintings, travel narratives, lectures given by the explorers themselves and photographs. The book explores key themes in Arctic images which impacted on subsequent representations through text, painting and photography. For much of the nineteenth century, national and regional geographical societies promoted exploration, and rewarded heroic endeavor. The book discusses images of the Arctic which originated in the activities of the geographical societies. The Times provided very low-key reporting of Arctic expeditions, as evidenced by its coverage of the missions of Sir John Franklin and James Clark Ross. However, the illustrated weekly became one of the main sources of popular representations of the Arctic. The book looks at the exhibitions of Arctic peoples, Arctic exploration and Arctic fauna in Britain. Late nineteenth-century exhibitions which featured the Arctic were essentially nostalgic in tone. The Golliwogg's Polar Adventures, published in 1900, drew on adult representations of the Arctic and will have confirmed and reinforced children's perceptions of the region. Text books, board games and novels helped to keep the subject alive among the young.

        Anthony Ascham and English political thought (1648–50)

        by Peter Lake, Marco Barducci, Anthony Milton, Jason Peacey, Alexandra Gajda

        This book provides a careful and systematic analysis of Anthony Ascham's career and writings for the first time in English. During the crucial period between the Second Civil War and the establishment of the English Republic, when he served as official pamphleteer of the Parliament and the republican government, Ascham put forward a complex argument in support of Parliament's claims for obedience which drew on the political thought of Grotius, Hobbes, Selden, Filmer and Machiavelli. He combined ideas taken from these authors and turned them into a powerful instrument of propaganda to be deployed in the service of the political agenda of his Independent patrons in Parliament. This investigation of Ascham's works brings together an intellectual analysis of his political thought and an exploration of the interaction between politics, propaganda and political ideas.

        The Strand

        A biography

        by Geoff Browell, Eileen Chanin

        The first history of one of London's most extraordinary streets. Running along the Thames's northern shore and spanning three-quarters of a mile from Trafalgar Square to Temple Bar, the Strand has been a witness to London's growth and change from the earliest years of the city's existence. In The Strand: A biography, Geoff Browell and Eileen Chanin uncover the deep history of this remarkable street. Tracing its origins in the Roman era, they reveal how it grew in importance as authority shifted from church to aristocracy, then to commerce, media and law. Over time, everything that mattered converged on the Strand: tradition and ceremony clashed with rebellion and destitution. By 1910, the street was known as the 'centre of the world'. Drawing on remarkable archival discoveries, Browell and Chanin present the most complete and compelling history of the Strand ever written. Filled with surprising, untold stories, The Strand: A biography is a must-read for lovers of one of the world's greatest cities.

        Gullivers Reisen

        Nacherzählt von Doron Rabinovici

        by Jonathan Swift, Flix, Doron Rabinovici

        Knapp dreihundert Jahre ist es her, dass die geneigte Leserschaft erstmals von den abenteuerlichen Reisen des Wundarztes und Schiffskapitäns Lemuel Gulliver erfuhr. Mit Staunen hörte sie von der Geltungssucht der daumengroßen Bewohner Liliputs, vom unmoralischen Treiben der grobschlächtigen Riesen von Brobdingnag und vom Land der edlen Houyhnhnms und ihren gierigen und gemeinen Bediensteten, den uns erschreckend ähnlichen Yahoos. Doron Rabinovici hat das Beste aus Jonathan Swifts berühmtem Roman ausgewählt und neu erzählt. Der von Flix kongenial illustrierte Band beweist, dass Swifts politische Satire auf staatliche Willkür und den Glauben an die Vernunft bis heute nichts von ihrer Aktualität verloren hat.
