Ballard`s Politics: Late Capitalism, Power, and the Pataphysics of Resistance ISBN: 3110487896 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783110487893 Издательство: Walter de Gruyter Рейтинг: Цена: 22305.00 р. Наличие на складе: Есть (1 шт.) Описание: This book is the first sustained investigation of the political dimension in the work of J.G. Ballard. A product of and reaction to the cultural-socio-economic moment commonly designated as the postmodern condition, Ballard's oeuvre is read as a continuous and developing meditation on the postmodern, examining it specifically as an expression of late capitalism. The book shows that at the heart of this meditation lies the question of resistance. Drawing on a wide range of concepts and ideas taken from the field of critical theory, it argues that in the face of a world marked by an unprecedented expansion of capital, in which modernity's grand narratives have been invalidated and in which received forms of political struggle have lost their effectiveness, Ballard's fiction commits itself to a deliberately irrational and extreme, pataphysical thought in order to develop a new discourse of resistance. Against past readings that have construed Ballard's writing as non-political, decadent, or quietist, the study thus reveals Ballard as a thoroughly political author, committed to a subversive politics. In this way, the book also constitutes a timely intervention in the ongoing discussion concerning the nature and state of the political.

Описание: Duncan McColl Chesney addresses many of the main issues in Beckett criticism by focusing on a key aspect of Beckett`s work throughout his long career: silence. Chesney links Beckett`s language and silence back to his predecessors, especially Joyce and Proust - laterally to contemporary movements of minimalism in the sister arts and theoretically in in-depth discussions of Blanchot and Adorno.
Описание: This book reads Martin Crimp’s The Treatment (1993), Attempts on her Life (1997), The Country (2000), Face to the Wall (2002), Cruel and Tender (2004) and his adaptation of Chekhov’s The Seagull (2006) in the context of contemporary, late capitalist societies of control or of ‘spectacle’, and explores how female collapse in particular works as a form of denunciation of the violence of globalized, technological neo-liberalism. The book contends that Crimp is a post-Holocaust writer, whose dramaturgy is pervaded by the ethical and aesthetic debates that the Holocaust has generated in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Its main claim is that, by interpellating spectators through the defamiliarized language of collapse and testimony, Crimp invites spectators to contribute to detecting the seeds of ‘barbarism’ as they may detect them in their context, thus warning them about the introduction of violence in supposedly civilized relationships and thereby also contributing to overcoming the contemporary ethical impasse. The book finally argues that female characters who pass on their testimony are shown to the audience in the ‘process of becoming’ ethical bodies – namely, they are emerge as ethical out of the perceived necessity to integrate both the Other as essential parts of their beings, thus recovering an innate, Baumian sense of responsibility towards the Other.

Описание: Drawing extensively on material from the archives, The Late Cantos of Ezra Pound explores the textual history of Pound’s later verses Section: Rock-Drill (1955) and Thrones (1959). Examining unpublished letters, draft manuscripts and critical essays this book addresses the history of the composition, revision and dissemination of these notoriously difficult verses in order to shed new light on their significance to Pound’s wider project, his methods and techniques and the structures of authority – literary and political – that govern the meaning of his poetry. Illustrated throughout with reproductions of the archival material covered, The Late Cantos of Ezra Pound is a ground-breaking new study of one of the most important poets of the 20th century.

Описание: With painful consistency, Henry James denied his characters the experience of fulfilled love. Yet in the final pages of The Golden Bowl, James affirms and celebrates the renewal of Maggie Verver`s marriage and the consummation of her passion. McWhirter argues that James` last three novels in fact embody a radical refashioning of his vision.
