Описание:

In Pursuit of a Better Life follows the travels of Judah Colt (1761-1832), son of a Connecticut farmer, who goes West soon after the War of Independence and the opening of the land west of the Alleghenies in the 1780s. In these days of the Early Republic, he follows in his fathers and uncles footsteps, investing in land; but unlike them he settles on the new frontier, and becomes surveyor, farmer, importer and seller of dry goods, individual agent buying and selling small quantities of land, and quickly amasses wealth and status in the Finger Lakes region of western New York.

Restless, Colt travels on to the newly opened land of Pennsylvanias Erie Triangle, bordering Lake Erie, where he is hired as the local land agent by the Pennsylvania Population Company. His Journal and his Narrative reveal Colts prejudices and his very Anglo-colonial views which allow him, along with most of his contemporaries, to ride brutally over the existing inhabitants of the land - the Native Americans. His quick rise to wealth as an early settler colonial is facilitated by a rich network of New England family and friends who buy the land, provide the dry goods, come and work for him on the frontier.

The book draws on a wealth of other sources to paint a picture of these new frontier towns of the Early Republic. Colt was a man with many trades which he exercised, in a period of real land mania, to reach his better life. By 1820 he was the third richest man in Erie, Pennsylvania.

Описание:

How is one to think the significance of the art of film for philosophy? What would it mean to introduce film as a question into the heart of the philosophical enterprise? How would this transform our understanding of film, on the one hand, and of philosophy and the philosophical tradition, on the other? These are the questions that guide this project on the hitherto critically neglected but seminal film director Brian De Palma. Becoming Visionary: Brian De Palma's Cinematic Education of the Senses is located at the intersection of philosophy and film studies, and makes each of these disciplines productive and useful for each other in a new way. It is a concrete examination of the logic governing the work of a major American artist that is, at the same time, a general philosophical examination of the logic of meaning governing all the major filmic categories and is thus a comprehensive theory of film. Becoming Visionary develops a new matrix for thinking the relations between philosophy and film and, by extension, between philosophy and the arts

Literature, Disaster, and the Enigma of Power: A Reading of `Moby-Dick`

Описание: This powerful new reading of Moby-Dick brings into play some of the most consequential theoretical developments of the last three decades in philosophy, cultural studies, and literary criticism. It takes account of four trends in innovative critical thought: recent theories of power, as articulated by Foucault, Deleuze, Butler, and Agamben; theories of trauma and testimony developed by Felman and Caruth; the new thinking of ethics, articulated by Levinas and Derrida; and the new thinking of history developed by New Historicism. All four, the author argues, participate in a groundbreaking new elaboration of the concept of disaster. Moby-Dick's privilege, the author claims, anticipates this new thinking of the disaster and shows that it demands simultaneously a new thinking of the literary. Read from this perspective, Melville's novel can both be illuminated by these recent theoretical developments and, in turn, illuminate them, adding new and complex dimensions to their findings.

Описание:

From the Renaissance on, a new concept of the frame becomes crucial to a range of artistic media, which in turn are organized around and fascinated by this frame. The frame decontextualizes, cutting everything that is within it from the continuity of the world and creating a realm we understand as the realm of fiction. The modern theatrical stage, framed paintings, the novel, the cinematic screen—all present us with such framed-off zones. Naturally, the frame creates a separation between inside and out. But, as this book argues, what is outside the frame, what is offstage, or off screen, remains particularly mysterious. It constitutes the primary enigma of the work of art in the modern age. It is to the historical and conceptual significance of this "off" that this book is dedicated. By focusing on what is outside the frame of a work of art, it offers a comprehensive theory of film, a concise history of American cinema from D.W. Griffith to Quentin Tarantino, and a reflection on the place and significance of film within the arts of modernity in general.
