Isaac Babel and the Self-Invention of Odessan Modernism
Author: Rebecca Jane Stanton
File Type: pdf
In what marks an exciting new critical direction, Rebecca Stanton contends that the city of Odessa--as a canonical literary image and as a kaleidoscopic cultural milieu--shaped the narrative strategies developed by Isaac Babel and his contemporaries of the Revolutionary generation. Modeling themselves on the tricksters and rogues of Odessa lore, Babel and his fellow Odessans Val-entin Kataev and Yury Olesha manipulated their literary personae through complex, playful, and often subversive negotiations of the boundary between autobiography and fiction. In so doing, they cannily took up a place prepared for them in the Russian canon and fostered modes of storytelling that both reflected and resisted the aesthetics of Socialist Realism. Stanton concludes with a rereading of Babels autobiographical stories and examines their leg-acy in post-Thaw works by Kataev, Olesha, and Konstantin Paustovsky. **

TEXTU
120311
Author: Sue Vice
File Type: pdf
This book argues that literary deceptions and false memoirs have particular cultural value and significance. Sue Vice considers a wide range of 20th and 21st century literary deceptions. These include memoirs that were published as true accounts of such extreme experiences as surviving the Holocaust, life in a Los Angeles gang, and rehabilitation from drug addiction. Each of these memoirs turned out to be either wholly invented or substantially embellished. Equally, poetry by a survivor of Hiroshima, short stories by an Albanian writer, and novels by an American rent-boy and an Aboriginal woman, have been shown to have authors whose biographies are as fictive as their published works. The book explores both why such texts arise, including consideration of writers motives as well as pressures from the publishing industry, readers tastes and contemporary social issues, and also how such texts are constructed, concluding with an assessment of their literary merit. It analyses the background, literary construction and value of a wide range of recent false memoirs and literary deceptions. It considers whether internal detail alone is sufficient to identify the truth-value or otherwise of a text, or if other evidence must be invoked. It explores the contradiction between contemporary literary critics adherence to Roland Barthes notion of the death of the author, and the apparently supreme importance of the role and biography of authors in the scandals that accompany revelations of deception.

MACHI
89909
Author: Michelle T. Clarke
File Type: pdf
Segoe UI, serif 13pxWhat do modern republics have to fear? Machiavellis Florentine Republic reconstructs Machiavellis answer to this question from the perspective of the Florentine Histories, his most probing meditation on the fate of republican politics in the modern age. It argues that his principle goal in narrating the defeat of Florentine republicanism is to debunk the views of leading humanists concerning the overall health of republican politics in modernity and the distinctive challenges that modern republics should expect to face. The Medici family had exposed these vulnerabilities better than anyone else, and Machiavelli reconstructs their political strategy to show how conventional ideas of moral and political virtue are the most potent instruments of princely ambition in a city that wants to be free. Segoe UI, serif 13px Segoe UI, serif 13pxb smallMichelle T. Clarkebspan small is Associate Professor of Government at Dartmouth College. She received her Ph.D. in Political Science from Yale University in 2007. Clarkes research focuses on Machiavelli, Florentine humanism, Roman political thought, and interpretive methods.

POETR
103717
Author: Derek Hillard
File Type: pdf
The most significant European poet of the second half of the twentieth century, Paul Celan, viewed poetry as the language of an individual that has become form, an individual that is constructed through the act of observation in the poem. In Poetry as Individuality The Discourse of Observation in Paul Celan Derek Hillard argues that individuality is the crux of poetry for Celan because the Holocaust effectively eviscerated the individual. Hillard investigates the core figures of individuality in Celans poetry and prose semblance, madness, and the wound. Celans enigmatic poetry of a depopulated textual universe has perplexed critics. The book argues that the poetrys figures have a common source - the discourse of observation from the fields of appearance, perception, and the mind. **

HEIDE
77397
Author: Richard Capobianco
File Type: pdf
In Heideggers Way of Being, the follow-up to his 2010 book, Engaging Heidegger, Richard Capobianco makes the case clearly and compellingly that the core matter of Heideggers lifetime of thought was Being as the temporal emergence of all beings and things. Drawing upon a wide variety of texts, many of which have been previously untranslated, Capobianco illuminates the overarching importance of Being as radiant manifestation the truth of Being and how Heidegger also named and elucidated this fundamental phenomenon as physis (Nature), Aletheia, the primordialLogos, and as Ereignis, Lichtung, and Es gibt.Heideggers Way of Being brings back into full view the originality and distinctiveness of Heideggers thought and offers an emphatic rejoinder to certain more recent readings, and particularly those that propose a reduction of Being to sense or meaning and maintain that the core matter is human meaning-making. Capobiancos vivid and often poetic reflections serve to evoke for readers the very experience of Being or as he prefers to name it, the Being-way and to invite us to pause and meditate on the manner of our human way in relation to the Being-way.
