The Revival of Pragmatism: New Essays on Social Thought, Law, and Culture
ISBN: 9780822322283 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Although long considered the most distinctive American contribution to philosophy, pragmatism--with its problem-solving emphasis and its contingent view of truth--lost popularity in mid-century after the advent of World War II, the horror of the Holocaust, and the dawning of the Cold War. Since the 1960s, however, pragmatism in many guises has again gained prominence, finding congenial places to flourish within growing intellectual movements. This volume of new essays brings together leading philosophers, historians, legal scholars, social thinkers, and literary critics to examine the...

ISBN: 9780393338768 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 626 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Hailed as one of the best books of 2009 by the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times, this vibrant portrait of 1930s culture masterfully explores the anxiety and hope, the despair and surprising optimism of distressed Americans during the Great Depression.

ISBN: 9780195111378 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Double Agent is a watershed in the recent revival of interest in the role of the public critic and intellectual who writes about culture, politics, and the arts for an intelligent general audience. Offering acute portraits of critics both famous and neglected, Dickstein traces the evolution of cultural criticism over the last century from Matthew Arnold to New Historicism.

Richards, Roland...

A Mirror in the Roadway: Literature and the Real World
ISBN: 9780691130330 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In a famous passage in The Red and the Black, the French writer Stendhal described the novel as a mirror being carried along a roadway. In the twentieth century this was derided as a naive notion of realism. Instead, modern writers experimented with creative forms of invention and dislocation. Deconstructive theorists went even further, questioning whether literature had any real reference to a world outside its own language, while traditional historians challenged whether novels gave a trustworthy representation of history and society. In this book, Morris Dickstein... In a famous passage in The Red and the Black, the French writer Stendhal described the novel as a mirror being carried along a roadway. In t... |

ISBN: 9780871404329 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The turbulent 1960s, almost from its outset, produced a dizzyingdisplay of cultural images and ideas that were as colorful as the psychedelic T-shirts that became part of its iconography. It was not, however, until Morris Dickstein's landmark Gates of Eden, first published in 1977, that we could fullygrasp the impact of this raucous decade in American history as amomentous cultural epoch in its own right, asmuch as Jazz Age America or Weimar Germany. From Ginsberg and Dylan to Vonnegut and Heller, this lasting work brilliantly re-creates not only the intellectual and political...

Leopards in the Temple: The Transformation of American Fiction, 1945-1970
ISBN: 9780674006041 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The twenty-five years after the Second World War were a lively and fertile period for the American novel and an era of momentous transformation in American society. Taking his title from the Kafka parable about the leopards who kept racing into the courtyard of the temple, disrupting the sacrifice, until they were made part of the ritual, Morris Dickstein shows how a daring band of outsiders reshaped the American novel and went on to dominate American fiction for the rest of the century. In fluid prose, offering a social as well as a literary history, Dickstein provides a...
