Does chimpanzee maturation factor into the formation of bands and marauding males?

New Consensus for Old: Cultural Studies from Left to Right
ISBN: 9780971757547 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Thomas Frank has been sending wake-up calls to just about everyone within reach over the past decade, in venues from The Village Voice to Harper's. His takes on labor politics, advertising, the virtues of the Midwest, and how un-cool you really are have won him a wide audience, and in this piece, Frank gives us a reading of cultural studies--viewed by some as an important new perspective in the academy, but by others as an unwieldy theoretical fad.

Readings at the Edge of Literature
ISBN: 9780226396002 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Myra Jehlen's aim in these essays is to read for what she calls the edge of literature: the point at which writing seems unable to say more, which is also, for Jehlen, the threshold of the real. It is here, she argues, that the central paradoxes of the American project become clear self-reliance and responsibility, universal equality and the pursuit of empire, writing from the heart and representing shared values and ideas. Developing these paradoxes to their utmost tension, American writers often produce penetrating critiques of American society without puncturing its basic myths. For...

Now that supposedly distinguishing marks of humanity, from reasoning to tool use, have been found in other species, how can we justify discriminating against nonhuman animals solely on the basis of their species?

Or so argues Jody Enders in this fascinating look at early French drama and the way it compels us to consider where the stage ends and where real life begins. This ambitious and bracing study explores fourteen tales of the theater that are at turns dark and dangerous, sexy and scandalous, humorous and frightening—stories that are nurtured by the confusion between truth and fiction, and imitation and enactment, until it becomes impossible to tell whether life is imitating art, or art is imitating life.
