Phantasmic Radio
ISBN: 9780822316640 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The alienation of the self, the annihilation of the body, the fracturing, dispersal, and reconstruction of the disembodied voice: the themes of modernism, even of modern consciousness, occur as a matter of course in the phantasmic realm of radio. In this original work of cultural criticism, Allen S. Weiss explores the meaning of radio to the modern imagination.

Breathless: Sound Recording, Disembodiment, and the Transformation of Lyrical Nostalgia
ISBN: 9780819565921 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 170 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Breathless explores early sound recording and the literature that both foreshadowed its invention and was contemporaneous with its early years, revealing the broad influence of this new technology at the very origins of Modernism. Through close readings of works by Edgar Allan Poe, Stephane Mallarme, Charles Cros, Paul Valery, Villiers de L'Isle-Adam, Jules Verne, and Antonin Artaud, Allen S. Weiss shows how sound recording's uncanny confluence of human and machine would transform our expectations of mourning and melancholia, transfiguring our intimate relation to death. Interdisciplinary,...

Zen Landscapes : Perspectives on Japanese Gardens and Ceramics
ISBN: 9781780231907 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The essential elements of a dry Japanese garden are few: rocks, gravel, moss. Simultaneously a sensual matrix, a symbolic form, and a memory theater, these gardens exhibit beautiful miniaturization and precise craftsmanship. But their apparent minimalism belies a true complexity. In Zen Landscapes, Allen S. Weiss takes readers on an exciting journey through these exquisite sites, explaining how Japanese gardens must be approached according to the play of scale, surroundings, and seasons, as well as in relation to other arts revealing them as living landscapes rather than abstract...

ISBN: 9780791464908 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 118 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. What does it mean to love a landscape? Why do certain authors have a predilection for specific landscapes? Why might one be fascinated by a landscape in which one would never wish to live?

Weiss explores the role of a significant yet elusive feature of the French landscape in literature, philosophy, and art: the legendary, mysterious, monolithic Mont Ventoux. This is not a book about picturesque, touristic Provence, but about the manifestation of an extreme...
