Описание: As seasoned dancers and dance educators, Minton and Faber approach brain function from inside the body as embodiment of thought. Their collection of neurological research about the thought processes in learning and performing dance encompasses a vision of dance as creative art, communication, education, and life. The book informs neuroscientists, educators, and dancers about the complex interdependence of brain localities and networking of human neurology through an integration of physiology, cognition, and the art of dance. Chapters address observation, engagement, critical thought, emotion, memory, imagery and imagination, learning, problem solving, and 21st century skills. Finer components are explored through neurological networks, classroom pedagogy, dance, and movement experiences that provide: -Description of the thought processes, their components, and their neurological functional needs. -The neurological physiology that has been discovered in the cognitive process. -How brain function can be applied to the educational classroom. -Applications of the neurological research to dance education, the choreographic process, and dance performance. -Movement explorations for readers to experience the thought processes through dance with neurological knowledge in mind.

Описание: A vibrant collection of sharp and essential modern pieces on the perennially controversial Lolita, by a wide range of celebrated writers, edited by the daughter of Lolita's original publisher.

In 1958, Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita was published in the United States to immediate controversy. More than sixty years later, it is more important than ever to discuss this complex novel. Now, having commissioned original contributions by Cheryl Strayed, Roxane Gay, Erika S nchez, Sloane Crosley, Andre Dubus III, Ian Frazier, Lauren Groff, Stacy Schiff, Emily Mortimer, Victor LaValle, and many more, Jenny Minton Quigley examines how we read Lolita today.

Lolita both exists in and exemplifies many of the issues at the forefront of our current national discourse: art and politics, race and whiteness, gender and power, sexual trauma. Jenny, the daughter of Walter J. Minton, who published Lolita at G. P. Putnam's Sons after it had been rejected by five other American publishers, brings a unique vantage point to this conversation. In her introduction she tells the amazing true story of the original publication, a risk Walter took despite the very real possibility that he could be prosecuted and go to jail (and which, by the way, included Walter's daring flight through a storm to meet Nabokov and strike the deal).

Lolita in the Afterlife is a riveting examination of the bright and dark spell that Nabokov's indelible novel left and still leaves on the cultural landscape. As these prominent writers of the twenty-first century attest, Lolita lives on, in an afterlife as blinding as a supernova.

Описание: The Revenger’s Tragedy (1606), now widely attributed to Thomas Middleton, is a play that provides a dark, satirical response to other revenge tragedies such as Hamlet . With its over-the-top and highly theatrical approach to revenge, The Revenger's Tragedy has emerged as one of the most compelling examples of a drama by one of Shakespeare’s contemporaries. This collection of ten newly-commissioned essays situates the play with respect to other Middleton and Shakespeare works as well as repertory, showcasing recent research about the play’s engagement with issues such as religion, genre, race, language and performance.

Описание: The Revenger’s Tragedy treads a line between macabre humour and moral commentary. Thomas Middleton’s aptly named play begins with a man called Vindice holding the skull of his dead fiancee and vowing to avenge her death. The tragedy that unfolds features complicated plot twists in which the licentious Duke and his corrupt family, who are guilty of rape, poisoning, and much more, become the victims of torture and murder. This edition offers a comprehensive analysis of diverse critical attitudes towards the play, with special attention to its authorship and its ambiguous theological orientation. A thorough discussion of The Revenger’s Tragedy’s rich performance history shows how it has consistently reflected cultural preoccupations with violence and vigilante justice.

Описание: A vivid portrayal of how love and loss mold us into the people we become. The ending will ripple in your mind for weeks.

Pictures of the Sky follows a cast of characters who are constantly seduced by what is out of reach. Susan and Michael meet as silhouettes beside a fire and struggle for years to disconnect from each other's lives. Leah devotes her youth to the pursuit of love, but she spends most of her twenties fighting to revive her disintegrating marriage. When Leah returns home, Susan is shocked by the depth of her friend's sorrow. Derrick journeys from Pittsburgh to Nicaragua and then to Louisiana. Along the way, he's frustrated by his inability to bend his emotions toward what he would like them to be. Their four stories unfold as a kaleidoscope, moving forward and backward at once. A portrait of a kinetic generation. In the end, this is a novel about learning how to love.
