The Perils of Uglytown: Studies in Structural Misanthropology from Plato to Rembrandt
ISBN: 9780823245178 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In The Perils of Uglytown, Harry Berger, Jr., considers a variety of texts and images ranging from those of Thucydides and Plato to those of Shakespeare and Rembrandt. The Introduction explains the key concept of the study, structural misanthropology, a variant on Claude Levi-Strauss's idea of structural anthropology. Part I explores its activity in several Platonic dialogues: Lysis, Crito, Phaedo, The Republic, and Timaeus. Part II turns to the Renaissance in Italy, England, and the Netherlands. Structural misanthropology is discussed first in the work of several Italian humanists...

Fictions of the Pose: Rembrandt Against the Italian Renaissance
ISBN: 9780804733236 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 656 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The foundational question this book explores is: What happens when portraits are interpreted as imitations or likenesses not only of individuals but also of their acts of posing--when the observer's attention is redirected so that the primary object the portrait imitates becomes the likeness not of a person but of an act, the act of sitting for one's portrait? This shift of attention involves another: from the painter's to the sitter's part in the act of (self-)portrayal. At the ground level, Fictions of the Pose develops a hypothesis about the structure and meaning of portraiture....

Situated Utterances: Texts, Bodies, and Cultural Representations

Berger describes himself as a reconstructed old New Critic, and hispublications over the past fifty years have centered on investigations of theways in which texts represent both themselves and their situations of utterance.The thirteen chapters of the present book illustrate the range of his inquiryacross several cultures and disciplines.

Figures of a Changing World: Metaphor and the Emergence of Modern Culture
ISBN: 9780823257478 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Figures of a Changing World offers a dramatic new account of cultural change, an account based on the distinction between two familiar rhetorical figures, metonymy and metaphor. The book treats metonymy as the basic organizing trope of traditional culture and metaphor as the basic organizing trope of modern culture. On the one hand, metonymies present themselves as analogies that articulate or reaffirm preexisting states of affairs. They are guarantors of facticity, a term that can be translated or defined as fact-like-ness. On the other hand, metaphors challenge the similarity they claim to...

A Fury in the Words: Love and Embarrassment in Shakespeare's Venice
ISBN: 9780823241958 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Shakespeare's two Venetian plays are dominated by the discourse of embarrassment. The Merchant of Venice is a comedy of embarrassment, and Othello is a tragedy of embarrassment. This nomenclature is admittedly anachronistic, because the term "embarrassment" didn't enter the language until the late seventeenth century. To embarrass is to make someone feel awkward or uncomfortable, humiliated or ashamed. Such feelings may respond to specific acts of criticism, blame, or accusation. "To embarrass" is literally to "embar": to put up a barrier or deny access. The bar of...

Manhood, Marriage, and Mischief: Rembrandt's 'Night Watch' and Other Dutch Group Portraits
ISBN: 9780823225576 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A study of the theory and practice of seventeenth-century Dutch group portraits, Manhood, Marriage, and Mischief offers an account of the genre's comic and ironic features, which it treats as comments on the social context of portrait sitters who are husbands and householders as well as members of civic and proto-military organizations.The introduction picks out anomalous touches with which Rembrandt problematizes standard group-portrait motifs in The Night Watch: a shooter who fires his musket into the company; two girls who appear to be moving through the company in the wrong direction;...

The Perils of Uglytown: Studies in Structural Misanthropology from Plato to Rembrandt
ISBN: 9780823245161 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. With characteristic wit, Harry Berger, Jr., brings his flair for close reading to texts and images across two millennia that illustrate what he calls "structural misanthropology." Beginning with a novel reading of Plato, Berger emphasizes Socrates's self-acknowledged failures. The dialogues, he shows, offer up, only to dispute, a misanthropic polis. The Athenian city-state, they worry, is founded on a social order motivated by apprehension--both the desire to take and the fear of being taken. In addition to suggesting new political and philosophical dimensions to Platonic thought, Berger's...

Harrying: Skills of Offense in Shakespeare's Henriad
ISBN: 9780823256624 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Harrying considers Richard III and the four plays of Shakespeare's Henriad--Richard II, Henry IV Part 1, Henry IV Part 2, and Henry V. Berger combines close reading with cultural analysis to show how the language characters speak always says more than the speakers mean to say. Shakespeare's speakers try to say one thing. Their language says other things that often question the speakers' motives or intentions. Harrying explores the effect of this linguistic mischief on the representation of all the Henriad's major figures. It centers attention on the portrayal of Falstaff and on the bad faith...

Caterpillage: Reflections on Seventeenth-Century Dutch Still Life Painting
ISBN: 9780823233137 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 140 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Caterpillage is a study of seventeenth-century Dutch still life painting. It develops an interpretive approach based on the author's previous studies of portraiture, and its goal is to offer its readers a new way to think and talk about the genre of still life.The book begins with a critique of iconographic discourse and particularly of iconography's treatment of vanitas symbolism. It goes on to argue that this treatment tends to divert attention from still life's darker meanings and from the true character of its traffic with death. Interpretations of still life that focus on the vanity of...
