International Bohemia: Scenes of Nineteenth-Century Life
ISBN: 9780812244885 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. How did this vagabond word, "bohemia," migrate across national borderlines over the course of the nineteenth century, and what happened to it as it traveled? In "International Bohemia," Daniel Cottom studies how various individuals and groups appropriated this word to serve the identities, passions, cultural forms, politics, and histories they sought to animate. Beginning with the invention of bohemianism's modern sense in Paris during the 1830s and 1840s, Cottom traces the twists and turns of this phenomenon through the rest of the nineteenth century and into the early years of the...

Abyss of Reason: Cultural Movements, Revelations, and Betrayals
ISBN: 9780195068573 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this pathbreaking study, the historical relationship between nineteenth-century spiritualism and twentieth-century surrealism is the basis for a general examination of conflicting movements in literature, art, philosophy, science, and other areas of social life. Because spiritualism delved into the world beyond humanity and surrealism was founded on the world within, the two provide a provocative frame for examining the struggles within modern culture. Cottom argues that we must conceive of interpretation in terms of urgency, desire, fierce contention, and impromptu deviation if we want to...

The Civilized Imagination: A Study of Ann Radcliffe, Jane Austen and Sir Walter Scott
ISBN: 9780521110976 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Civilized Imagination is a study of literature in a period of cultural change. As part of the transition from the eighteenth to the nineteenth century a great transformation occurred in the relations among aesthetic theory, literature, and society. This study analyses such changes as they appear in the works of Ann Radcliffe, Jane Austen and Sir Walter Scott, three apparently distinct novelists whom the author locates within a unified cultural movement. Although the works of these writers are extremely different in many respects, in Professor Cottom's view they are all preoccupied with...

Unhuman Culture
ISBN: 9780812239560 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Unhuman Culture Daniel Cottom "Uhuman Culture takes the categories of the person and the Other, the human and culture, and questions whether their opposition is as fixed as we would think. In particular, Cottom is interested in how language and art animate the human. Our tendency to think and write passionately about the art we make leads him to criticize our 'perennial and perhaps inescapable tendency to underestimate the art in humanity and overestimate the humanity of art.' At issue in this clever chiasmus is the lack of difference separating the human from the...

ISBN: 9780812237207 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Why Education Is Useless Daniel Cottom "A tour de force, implicitly summarizing and commenting on more than two millennia of arguments about the function of education. Why Education Is Useless is craftily written and thoroughly enjoyable."--Michael Berube, author of The Employment of English: Theory, Jobs, and the Future of Literary Studies Education is useless because it destroys our common sense, because it isolates us from the rest of humanity, because it hardens our hearts and swells our heads. Bookish persons have long been subjects of suspicion and contempt and nowhere...
