Описание: Named a Choice Outstanding Academic Title of the Year Mere Reading argues for a return to the foundations of literary study established nearly a century ago. Following a recent period dominated by symptomatic analyses of fictional texts (new historicist, Marxist, feminist, identity-political), Lee Clark Mitchell joins a burgeoning neo-formalist movement in challenging readers to embrace a rationale for literary criticism that has too long been ignored—a neglect that corresponds, perhaps not coincidentally, to a flight from literature courses themselves. In close readings of six American novels spread over the past century—Willa Cather’s The Professor’s House, Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita, Marilynne Robinson’s Housekeeping, Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian and The Road, and Junot Diaz’s The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao—Mitchell traces a shifting strain of late modernist innovation that celebrates a species of magic and wonder, of aesthetic “bliss” (as Barthes and Nabokov both coincidentally described the experience) that dumbfounds the reader and compels a reassessment of interpretive assumptions. The novels included here aspire to being read slowly, so that sounds, rhythms, repetitions, rhymes, and other verbal features take on a heightened poetic status—in critic Barbara Johnson’s words, “the rigorous perversity and seductiveness of literary language”—thwarting pressures of plot that otherwise push us ineluctably forward. In each chapter, the return to “mere reading” becomes paradoxically a gesture that honors the intractability of fictional texts, their sheer irresolution, indeed the way in which their “literary” status rests on the play of irreconcilables that emerges from the verbal tensions we find ourselves first astonished by, then delighting in.

Описание:
In the blink of an eye, tragedy can change lives without warning. So was the case one warm August evening in rural southwest Virginia, when an unspeakable accident claimed the lives of Bobby and Pam Clark. But sometimes the life you live is carried on even after you die, as what happens next is an amazing story of forgiveness and healing in the wake of tragedy. JT Clark, Bobby's brother, recounts the details on these pages of loss, forgiveness, and hope that reaches epic proportions - a true, modern-day account of what can happen when the extraordinary power of God begins moving in ordinary people. Tragic pain and adversity are familiar in various forms to us all, and if hurt has its way, this story never gets told. But from the depths of hope springs a message of true forgiveness that will change your view of what can happen when God moves, replacing hurt and resentment with healing and freedom
Propelled across the continent by notions of rugged individualism and manifest destiny, pioneer Americans soon discovered that such slogans only partly disguised the fact that building an empire meant destroying a wilderness. Through an astonishing range of media, they voiced their concern about America's westward mission. Drawing on a wide variety of evidence, Lee Clark Mitchell portrays the growing apprehensions

Описание:
Colonial Rule and Social Change in Korea 1910-1945 highlights the complex interaction between indigenous activity and colonial governance, emphasizing how Japanese rule adapted to Korean and missionary initiatives, as well as how Koreans found space within the colonial system to show agency. Topics covered range from economic development and national identity to education and family; from peasant uprisings and thought conversion to a comparison of missionary and colonial leprosariums. These various new assessments of Japan's colonial legacy may open up new and illuminating approaches to historical memory that will resonate not just in Korean studies, but in colonial and postcolonial studies in general, and will have implications for the future of regional politics in East Asia.
