T.S. Eliot and the Failure to Connect: Satire on Modern Misunderstandings
Author: G. Douglas Atkins
File Type: pdf
This stimulating and provocative book focuses on the failure to connect that T.S. Eliot saw setting in during the seventeenth century. With special attention to The Waste Land and Gerontion, G. Douglas Atkins shows that Eliot roundly satirized modern misunderstandings and urges readers to make the connections that the wastelanders fail to make. Thus, a new approach to reading Eliot opens up, based on suggestions he himself made in the prose and enacted in the poetry.** This stimulating and provocative book focuses on the failure to connect that T.S.

DENIA
62350
Author: Jan Paulsson
File Type: pdf
Denial of justice is one of the oldest bases of liability in international law and is examined by Jan Paulsson in this book. The possibilities for prosecuting the offence of denial of justice have evolved in fundamental ways and it is now settled law that States cannot disavow international responsibility by arguing that their courts are independent of the government. Even more importantly, the doors of international tribunals have swung wide open to admit claimants other than states non-governmental organizations, corporations, and individuals, and Paulsson examines several recent cases of great importance in his book.ReviewDenial of Justice in International Law does a remarkable job of illuminating a cause of action which has not yet received in depth scholarly attention since 1938. Mark J. Harris, University of California, Berkeley, The Law and Politics Book ReviewPaulssons presentation is clear, careful and lovely, offering a welcome contrast to some other contemporary international law writing obscured by turgid prose or impenetrable or invented vocabulary. - John R. Crook, On the Board of Editors, American Journal of International Law Book DescriptionDenial of justice is one of the oldest bases of liability in international law and the modern understanding of denial of justice is examined by Paulsson in this book. It has recently taken on a new vitality due to international treaties under which private parties can seek to hold States liable for judicial mistreatment. Several recent cases of great importance are examined here.

BRECH
52580
Author: Laura Bradley
File Type: pdf
This production history of The Mother provides substantial new insights into Bertolt Brechts theatre and drama, his impact on political theatre, and the relationship between text, performance, and politico-cultural context. As the only play which Brecht staged in the Weimar Republic, during his exile, and in the GDR, The Mother offers a unique opportunity to compare his theatrical practice in contrasting settings and at different points in his career. Through detailed analysis of original archival evidence, Bradley shows how Brecht became far more sensitive to his spectators political views and cultural expectations, even making major tactical concessions in his 1951 production at the Berliner Ensemble. These compromises indicate that his mature staging should not be regarded as definitive, for it was tailored to a unique and delicate situation. The Mother has appealed strongly to politically committed theatre practitioners both in and beyond Germany. By exploiting the texts generic hybridity and the interplay between Brechts epic and dramatic elements, directors have interpreted it in radically different ways. So although Brechts 1951 production stagnated into an affirmative GDR heritage piece, post-Brechtian directors have used The Mother to promote their own political and theatrical concerns, from anti-authoritarian theatre to reflections on the legacies of state Socialism. Their ideological and theatrical subversion have helped Brechts text to outlive the political system that it came to uphold.**

THE C
125135
Author: Carl Sagan
File Type: pdf
In 1973, Carl Sagan published The Cosmic Connection, a daring view of the universe, which rapidly became a classic work of popular science and inspired a generation of scientists and enthusiasts. This seminal work is reproduced here for a whole new generation to enjoy. In Sagans typically lucid and lyrical style, he discusses many topics from astrophysics and solar system science, to colonization, terraforming and the search for extraterrestrials. Sagan conveys his own excitement and wonder, and relates the revelations of astronomy to the most profound human problems and concerns issues that are just as valid today as they were thirty years ago. New to this edition are Freeman Dysons comments on Sagans vision and the importance of the work, Ann Druyans assessment of Sagans cultural significance as a champion of science, and David Morrisons discussion of the advances made since 1973 and what became of Sagans predictions. Who knows what wonders this third millennium will reveal, but one thing is certain Carl Sagan played a unique role in preparing us for them.

PHENO

Author: Sophie Loidolt
File Type: pdf
This book develops a unique phenomenology of plurality by introducing Hannah Arendts work into current debates taking place in the phenomenological tradition. Loidolt offers a systematic treatment of plurality that unites the fields of phenomenology, political theory, social ontology, and Arendt studies to offer new perspectives on key concepts such as intersubjectivity, selfhood, personhood, sociality, community, and conceptions of the we. Phenomenology of Pluralityis an in-depth, phenomenological analysis of Arendt that represents a viable third way between the modernist and postmodernist camps in Arendt scholarship. It also introduces a number of political and ethical insights that can be drawn from a phenomenology of plurality. This book will appeal to scholars interested in the topics of plurality and intersubjectivity within phenomenology, existentialism, political philosophy, ethics, and feminist philosophy. **About the Author Sophie Loidolt is Guest Professor at the Philosophy Department of the University of Kassel, Germany, and a member of the Young Academy of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. Her books include Anspruch und Rechtfertigung. Eine Theorie des rechtlichen Denkens im Anschluss an die Phanomenologie Edmund Husserls (2009) and Einfuhrung in die Rechtsphanomenologie (2010).
