Описание: The Birth of a Jungle probes the historical emergence of the jungle as a discourse in the U.S during the Progressive Era through readings of fiction by Jack London, Frank Norris, Edgar Rice Burroughs, and others alongside nonfiction by Darwin, Freud, Theodore Roosevelt, W. E. B. Du Bois, and William Jennings Bryan.
Описание: The book presents a re-reading of H. G. Wells` novel "The Island of Doctor Moreau" as a key to addressing the controversies of our own humanity. It raises the issue: without human exceptionalism, where do ethics come from?
Описание: The book is an against-the-grain study of Primo Levi`s lifelong concerns about agency, both personal and political. It moves from fresh readings of his lesser-known short story and novels to a major reinterpretation of the testimonial works at the center of his legacy.

Описание: The legacy of antifascist partisan, Auschwitz survivor, and author Primo Levi continues to drive exciting interdisciplinary scholarship. The contributions to this intellectually rich, tightly organized volume - from many of the world`s foremost Levi scholars - show a remarkable breadth across fields as varied as ethics, memory, and media studies.
More than twenty years ago, the Italian chemist, writer and Holocaust survivor Primo Levi fell to his death from the stairwell of his apartment building in Turin. Within hours, a debate exploded as to whether his death was an accident or a suicide and, if the latter, how this might force us to reinterpret his legacy as a writer and "survivor." Many weighed in with thoughtful and sometimes provocative commentary, but the debate over his death has sometimes overshadowed the larger significance of his place as a thinker "after Auschwitz."
This volume contains essays that deal directly with Levi and his work; others tangentially use Levi's writings or ideas to explore larger issues in Holocaust studies, philosophy, theology, and the problem of representation. They are included here in the spirit that Levi described himself: proud of being "impure" and a "centaur," cognizant that asymmetry is the fundamental structure of organic life.
"I became a Jew in Auschwitz," Levi once wrote, comparing the concentration camp to a "university" of life. Yet he could also paradoxically admit, in an interview late in life, "There is Auschwitz, and so there cannot be God." Rather than seek to untangle these contradictions, Levi embraced them. This volume seeks to embrace them as well.
