Animal Minds, Other Minds - Nonhuman Intelligence And Narrative Form In American Fiction

de Victoria Googasian

~~33,61€~~ 30,25€ 10% IMEDIATO

 How a fascination with animal consciousness, perception, and intelligence shaped American fiction in the twentieth centuryAnimal Minds, Other Minds upends a common assumption: that the minds encountered in fiction are always in some sense fundamentally human. Readers, writers, critics, and narrative theorists have surmised that when fiction turns its attention to the inner lives of its characters, it does so with the aim of revealing their recognizable humanity. This book tells a different story. The narrative styles of American fiction show a growing awareness that human subjectivity exists within a multispecies ecology of minds. The science of animal minds, argues Victoria Googasian, has played a central role in building fiction’s capacity to imagine cognitive diversity, both within our own species and in the wider world of sentience.The multispecies world of twentieth-century American literature exhibits a clear recognition that intelligence can take more than one form. From the fragmented personhood of Jack London’s canine heroes, to the associative intelligence of William Faulkner’s Compson family, to the rabid opacity of Zora Neale Hurston’s Tea Cake, to the sociobiological play of Octavia Butler’s shapeshifters, American fiction abounds with characters whose animalized minds structure the narrative techniques that unfold their behaviors.

Spectacle Earth - Media For Planetary Change

de Andrew Kalaidjian

~~33,61€~~ 30,25€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Artistic, literary, and technological depictions of the climate crisis and how they influence humanity’s response What does it mean to watch a disaster unfold? Does exposure to a source of dread spur people to action or lull them into fatalism and complacency? Andrew Kalaidjian takes up these and other vital questions in Spectacle Earth, a lively and wide-ranging consideration of media engagement, passivity, and virtual environments in relation to ecological crises and climate change. Kalaidjian begins by tracing the long trajectory of environmental aesthetics and natural sciences that have led up to the Anthropocene. He then looks at the lessons learned from artist and activist movements of the 1960s and 1970s before laying out the new challenges in the digital age of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and virtual reality. The result is groundbreaking, offering readers a new media literacy that goes beyond individual therapeutic experience to provide forms of expression that can lead to the sorts of solidarity and connection needed to change the planet for the better.

Chick Lit And Postfeminism

de Stephanie Harzewski

28,49€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Originally a euphemism for Princeton University’s Female Literary Tradition course in the 1980s, "chick lit" mutated from a movement in American women’s avant-garde fiction in the 1990s to become, by the turn of the century, a humorous subset of women’s literature, journalism, and advice manuals. Stephanie Harzewski examines such best sellers as Bridget Jones’s Diary The Devil Wears Prada, and Sex and the City as urban appropriations of and departures from the narrative traditions of the novel of manners, the popular romance, and the bildungsroman. Further, Harzewski uses chick lit as a lens through which to view gender relations in U.S. and British society in the 1990s. Chick Lit and Postfeminism is the first sustained historicization of this major pop-cultural phenomenon, and Harzewski successfully demonstrates how chick lit and the critical study of it yield social observations on upheavals in Anglo-American marriage and education patterns, heterosexual rituals, feminism, and postmodern values.
