Cooking with Mud: The Idea of Mess in Nineteenth-Century Art and Fiction
ISBN: 9780198185031 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Mess is age-old and universal, as phenomenon and as topic. The evidence collected in this book suggests, however, that the second half of the nineteenth century saw the first stirrings in Western culture of a primary interest in mess for its own sake. Messes, like modern identities, happen by accident; their representation in painting and fiction made it possible to think boldly and inventively about chance. Ranging widely--from Turner to Degas, and from Melville to Maupassant and the New Woman writers--this book outlines a style of commentary on modern life in which the ancient dichotomy of...

The Uses of Phobia: Essays on Literature and Film
ISBN: 9781444333848 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. The essays brought together in this book understand phobia not as a pathology, but as a versatile moral, political, and aesthetic resource - and one with a history. They demonstrate that enquiry into strong feelings of aversion has enabled writers and film-makers to say and show things they could not otherwise have said or shown; and in this way to get profoundly and provocatively to grips with the modern condition.

The Literature of Connection: Signal, Medium, Interface, 1850-1950
ISBN: 9780198850472 / Angielski / Twarda / 2020 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book is about some of the ways in which the world got ready to be connected, long before the advent of the technologies and the concentrations of capital necessary to implement a global 'network society'. It investigates the prehistory not of the communications 'revolution' brought about by advances in electronic digital computing from 1950 onwards, but of the principle of connectivity which was to provide that revolution with its justification and rallying-cry. Connectivity's core principle is that what matters most in any act of telecommunication, and sometimes all that matters, is...

Literature in the First Media Age: Britain Between the Wars
ISBN: 9780674073159 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The period between the World Wars was one of the richest and most inventive in the long history of British literature. Interwar literature, David Trotter argues, stood apart by virtue of the sheer intelligence of the enquiries it undertook into the technological mediation of experience. After around 1925, literary works began to portray communication by telephone, television, radio, and sound cinema--and to examine the sorts of behavior made possible for the first time by virtual interaction. And they filled up, too, with the look, sound, smell, taste, and feel of the new synthetic and...
