From a discussion of the problem of communicating with non-human beings and a review of popular fantastic films to an examination of stage portrayals of Dr. Frankenstein's monster, the essays included reflect and reinfoce the international appeal of the fantastic.

The Mythic Fantasy of Robert Holdstock: Critical Essays on the Fiction
ISBN: 9780786449422 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 202 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Robert Holdstock was a prolific writer whose oeuvre included horror, fantasy, mystery and the novelization of films, often published under pseudonyms. These twelve critical essays explore the varied output of Holdstock by displaying his works against the backdrop of folk and fairy tales, dissecting their spaciotemporal order, and examining them as psychic fantasies of our unconscious life or as exempla of the sublime. The individual novels of the Mythago Wood sequence are explored, as is Holdstock's early science fiction and the Merlin Codex series.

Faith in Life: John Dewey's Early Philosophy
ISBN: 9780823234707 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This is the first book to consider John Dewey's early philosophy on its own terms and to explicate its key ideas. It does so through the fullest treatment to date of his youthful masterwork, the Psychology. This fuller treatment reveals that the received view, which sees Dewey's early philosophy as unimportant in its own right, is deeply mistaken. In fact, Dewey's early philosophy amounts to an important new form of idealism. More specifically, Dewey's idealism contains a new logic of rupture, which allows us to achieve four things: - A focus on discontinuity that challenges all naturalistic...

Zones of Re-membering : Time, Memory, and (un)Consciousness
ISBN: 9789042032590 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 157 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Don Gifford in "Zones of Re-membering" shows clearly, thoughtfully, yet entertainingly how no one explanation will account for the depth and complexity of human experience and its grounding in Memory. Because consciousness is a function of Memory, "life without Memory is no life at all" as Alzheimer's all too frequently demonstrates. Both our individual and collective Memory is stored in the arts, he contends, which in turn provide a way of knowing and of nourishing Memory and consciousness. Memory, like language, is never really stable or accurate but appears as narrative and these...
