Christian Discourses
Author: Søren Kierkegaard
File Type: pdf
With Christian Discourses, Kierkegaard intended to conclude the signed second authorship following Concluding Unscientific Postscript as the end of the pseudonymous writings. Parts One and Three, The Cares of the Pagans and Thoughts That Wound from Behind--for Upbuilding, contain a polemical element and constitute the overture to the collision with the established order of Christendom. The dominant theme of Parts Two and Four, Joyful Notes in the Strife of Suffering and Discourses at the Communion on Fridays, is a reassuring affirmation of the joy and blessedness of the Christian life in a world of adversity and suffering. Written in ordinary language, the work combines simplicity and inwardness with reflection and presents crucial Christian concepts and presuppositions with unusual clarity. Among the discourses are some of Kierkegaards masterpieces.The first pseudonymous esthetic work, EitherOr, was accompanied by a series of religious discourses. To maintain the dialectical structure of the dual authorship, Kierkegaard wrote an accompanying work to Christian Discourses an esthetic essay on a foremost Danish actress. To her, it was a wonderful surprise to read [how] the inspired theoretician manages to express clearly and unambiguously what one has felt without being able to find the words to clarify and illustrate this feeling.

Author: Tara Zanardi

Majismo, a cultural phenomenon that embodied the popular aesthetic in Spain from the second half of the eighteenth century, served as a vehicle to regain Spanish heritage. As expressed in visual representations of popular types participating in traditional customs and wearing garments viewed as historically Spanish, majismo conferred on Spanish citizens the pictorial ideal of a shared national character. In Framing Majismo, Tara Zanardi explores nobles fascination with and appropriation of the practices and types associated with majismo, as well as how this connection cultivated the formation of an elite Spanish identity in the late 1700s and aided the Bourbons objective to fashion themselves as the legitimate rulers of Spain. In particular, the book considers artistic and literary representations of the majo and the maja, purportedly native types who embodied and performed uniquely Spanish characteristics. Such visual examples of majismo emerge as critical and contentious sites for navigating eighteenth-century conceptions of gender, national character, and noble identity. Zanardi also examines how these bodies were contrasted with those regarded as foreign, finding that foreign and national bodies were frequently described and depicted in similar ways. She isolates and uncovers the nuances of bodily representation, ultimately showing how the body and the emergent nation were mutually constructed at a critical historical moment for both.

BAD N
11818
Author: Hal Foster
File Type: epub
One of the worlds leading art theorists dissects a quarter century of artistic practice Bad New Days examines the evolution of art and criticism in Western Europe and North America over the last twenty-five years, exploring their dynamic relation to the general condition of emergency instilled by neoliberalism and the war on terror. Considering the work of artists such as Thomas Hirschhorn, Tacita Dean, and Isa Genzken, and the writing of thinkers like Jacques Rancire, Bruno Latour, and Giorgio Agamben, Hal Foster shows the ways in which art has anticipated this condition, at times resisting the collapse of the social contract or gesturing toward its repair at other times burlesquing it. Against the claim that art making has become so heterogeneous as to defy historical analysis, Foster argues that the critic must still articulate a clear account of the contemporary in all its complexity. To that end, he offers several paradigms for the art of recent years, which he terms abject, archival, mimetic, and precarious.

THE S
31814
Author: Peter Stothard
File Type: epub
Renowned author Peter Stothards third book of classical memoir skillfully blends history, philosophy, and political intrigue.A year after the death of Margaret Thatcher, a young historian arrives to ask Peter Stothard, Editor of the Time Literary Supplement and former editor of The Time, some sharp questions about his memories of the Thatcher era. During the interview the offices from where he long observed British politics are being systematically flattened by wrecking balls. From the dust and destruction of a collapsing newspaper plant emerge portraits of the Senecans, four of the men who made the Thatcher court so different from that of her successors. As well as love of Britains first female Prime Minister they shared strange Latin lessons in a crumbling riverside bar. They took their name from their taste for the work of Lucius Annaeus Seneca, a pioneer writer from Cordoba in Roman Spain, a philosopher, courtier and acquirer of massive wealth from the age of the Emperor Nero.Blending memoir with ancient and modern politics in the manner of his acclaimed diaries, Spartacus Road and Alexandria, Peter Stothard sheds a sideways light on Margaret Thatchers believing age, a personal picture of our recent history. In finally identifying his interviewer he also answers questions about his own literary and political journey. **Review[An] artful blend of truth and fiction...Stothards poetically written, supremely stylish memoir only partly conceals its underlying mission, to insist that antiquity still has urgent things to tell us. (Emily Gowers - The Guardian) A brilliant, haunting work from a modern master of memoir. (Mary Beard, bestselling author of SPQR A History of Ancient Rome) This thoughtful and unexpectedly moving memoir...brilliantly captures the excitementof the Thatcher years. (Richard Aldous - The Wall Street Journal) In his witty, luminous and perceptive The Senecans, at once an entertainment and an education on the themes of personality and power, Peter Stothard presents Margaret Thatcher as weve never seen her before. (Sir Harold Evans) Elegiac memoir of the Tories heady heyday in the 1980s among the court of Margaret Thatcher. [T]he author contemplates the passing of his brilliant, disputatious friends and mourns an entire era. (Kirkus Reviews) About the Author Peter Stothard is the editor of the Times Literary Supplement author of Alexandria and The Spartacus Road. From 1992 to 2002 he was the Editor of The Times. In 2012 he was chairman of the judges for the Man Booker Prize.

Author: James Sullivan
File Type: pdf
In Seven Dirty Words, journalist and cultural critic James Sullivan tells the story of Alternative America from the 1950s to the present, from the singular vantage point of George Carlin, the Catholic boy for whom nothing was sacred. A critical biography, Seven Dirty Words is an insightful (and, of course, hilarious) examination of Carlins body of work as it pertained to its cultural times and the man who created it, from his early days as amore-or-less conventional comedian to his stunning transformation into the subversive comedic voice of the emerging counterculture. Sullivan also chronicles Carlins struggles with censorship and drugs, as well as the full-blown renaissance he experienced in the 1990s, both personally and professionally, when he became an elder statesman to a younger generation of comics who revered him. Seven Dirty Words is nothing less than the definitive biography of an American master who changed the world, and also a work of cultural commentary which frames George Carlins extraordinary legacy. **

When will we learn?With every sunrise we are given plenty of new examples of people Hitting Send and soon regretting it. Social media means what it says it is social! Our methods of communication today allow for something to potentially be broadcast to everyone from Pekin, Illinois to Peking, China. But its not only Twitter fanatics who can find themselves in trouble. Every single one of us is capable of falling prey to this growing plague.Every day we have the potential of both verbal and written blunders. It makes no difference if we are talking to a stranger over a meat counter, chatting on a cell phone with our mother, or sending an e-mail to a coworker we can and do miscommunicate and people can and do get the wrong idea. When we dont pause long enough to think before speaking or writing, it commonly yields a misunderstanding and leads to a clash. We end up being the person who said, You know that sphere of the brain that stops you from saying something that you shouldnt? Well, I dont have one of those.This book is about preventing that misunderstanding and allowing for understanding. Said another way, preempting people from getting the wrong idea and enabling them to get the right idea! We all need work in this area in far more ways than just glancing through a checklist.From external examples to internal turmoil, Before You Hit Send is about the four things we must think through before communicating. In all things we wish to say or write, we would be wise to ask ourselves,ul lIs it true?l lIs it kind?l lIs it necessary?l lIs it clear?l ulWhen we ask and answer these four questions honestly, we will be thinking wisely before we speak. But to explore this fully, we need to find out a whole lot more about ourselves and uncover why we consciously and subconsciously get into these communication disasters to begin with. You may be surprised what you discover about yourself. Shall we begin?**About the AuthorDr. Emerson Eggerichs, passionate about bringing biblical truth to married and family life, founded Love and Respect Ministries in 1999.
