Apocalipso

Autor: Walter Greatshell

Número de Páginas: 308

Lulú Pangloss y la tripulación convertida en xombi del buque Sin Nombre vagan por los mares en una misión «solidaria», convirtiendo a todo superviviente humano que encuentran en un xombi inmortal, ya que, según su distorsionada forma de pensar, es la única manera de sobrevivir al inminente cataclismo. Pero aún hay esperanza, tanto para los humanos como para los xombis. Alguien está reuniendo a un grupo de mujeres inmunes al agente X. Y si consiguen mantenerlas a salvo, el secreto de su inmunidad tal vez proporcione una cura. Siempre y cuando Lulú y su tripulación no las encuentren primero…

Autor: John Rachel

Número de Páginas: 202

How do we function in a world which is both as randomly and intentionally cruel, as it is randomly and intentionally kind? Can we make sense of our lives when so much around us makes no sense?

An Ecotopian Lexicon

Autor: Matthew Schneider-mayerson , Brent Ryan Bellamy

Número de Páginas: 486

Presents thirty novel terms that do not yet exist in English to envision ways of responding to the environmental challenges of our generation As the scale and gravity of climate change becomes undeniable, a cultural revolution must ultimately match progress in the realms of policy, infrastructure, and technology. Proceeding from the notion that dominant Western cultures lack the terms and concepts to describe or respond to our environmental crisis, An Ecotopian Lexicon is a collaborative volume of short, engaging essays that offer ecologically productive terms—drawn from other languages, science fiction, and subcultures of resistance—to envision and inspire responses and alternatives to fossil-fueled neoliberal capitalism. Each of the thirty suggested “loanwords” helps us imagine how to adapt and even flourish in the face of the socioecological adversity that characterizes the present moment and the future that awaits. From “Apocalypso” to “Qi,” “ ~*~ “ to “Total Liberation,” thirty authors from a range of disciplines and backgrounds assemble a grounded yet dizzying lexicon, expanding the limited European and North American conceptual lexicon that many...

Masquerade

Autor: Vincent L. Wimbush

Número de Páginas: 209

Continuing his project of critical analysis of the scriptural formation of culture, Vincent L. Wimbush has gathered in this book essays by scholars of various backgrounds and orientations who focus in different registers on the theme of masquerade as the “play-element” in modern culture. Masquerade functions as a window onto the mimetic performances, dynamics, arrangements, psycho-logics, and politics (“scripturalizing”) by which the “made-up” becomes fixed or one among our realities (scripturalization). Modern-world racialization (and its attendant explosions into racialisms and racisms) as the hyper-scripturalization of difference in human flesh (registered in psychosocial relations as a type of “scripture”) is argued in this book to be one of the most consequential examples and reflections of masquerade and thereby one of the primary impetuses behind, and determinants of, the shape of the realities of modernities. The open window onto these realities is facilitated by touchstone references to—not exhaustive treatment of—a now famous eighteenth-century life story, The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano or Gustavus Vassa, the African, Written ...

Barnbrook Bible

Autor: Jonathan Barnbrook

Número de Páginas: 338

"Known for his revolutionary typeface designs, Jonathan Barnbrook is the most sought after contemporary designer working across a broad range of disciplines including graphic design, industrial design, typeface design, and film. In this first book by and about him, Barnbrook redefines the genre of the designer's monograph ... In addition to art directing for the leading activist magazine Adbusters, Jonathan Barnbrook also puts great effort into producing copyright-free work that highlights political and social injustices ... Font names such as Bastard, Patriot, Exocet, and Manson all challenge perceived values of the relevance of type design in relation to wider society."-- S knjižnega ovitka.

Bad Environmentalism

Autor: Nicole Seymour

Número de Páginas: 318

Traces a tradition of ironic and irreverent environmentalism, asking us to rethink the movement’s reputation for gloom and doom Activists today strive to educate the public about climate change, but sociologists have found that the more we know about alarming issues, the less likely we are to act. Meanwhile, environmentalists have acquired a reputation as gloom-and-doom killjoys. Bad Environmentalism identifies contemporary texts that respond to these absurdities and ironies through absurdity and irony—as well as camp, frivolity, irreverence, perversity, and playfulness. Nicole Seymour develops the concept of “bad environmentalism”: cultural thought that employs dissident affects and sensibilities to reflect critically on our current moment and on mainstream environmental activism. From the television show Wildboyz to the short film series Green Porno, Seymour shows that this tradition of thought is widespread—spanning animation, documentary, fiction film, performance art, poetry, prose fiction, social media, and stand-up comedy since at least 1975. Seymour argues that these texts reject self-righteousness and sentimentality, undercutting public negativity toward...

Apo-Calypso

Autor: Ulrich Hackhe

Número de Páginas: 206

Sieben Novellen, formal bewusst im Stil des frühen 20.Jahrhunderts gehalten. Inhaltlich spielen sie in der Jetztzeit. Dreimal geht die Welt unter: Die Erde tut sich auf, der Himmel stürzt ein, Außerirdische rotten die Menschheit aus, und eine Sintflut verwüstet Norddeutschland. In weiteren Geschichten werden düstere, gesellschaftliche Dystopien beschrieben. Mit der Wiedereinführung von Sklaverei und Armenhaus versucht die Politik die Probleme in den Griff zu bekommen. Werden sich Beschäftigungsgesellschaften als Lösung erweisen? Am Schuss taucht noch ein Weihnachtsengel mit ziemlich schlechten Manieren auf. Denn Weihnachten ist und bleibt ein Problem. Alles ist nicht richtig tragisch, aber auch nicht richtig komisch. Eher mittellustig wie im richtigen Leben.

Surfing Tropical Beats

Autor: Sam Bleakley , J. S. Callahan

Número de Páginas: 250

Sam Bleakley and the surf EXPLORE team take us on a roller coaster ride through Gabon, India, Vietnam, Algeria, China and Haiti, drumming up a tropical beat. Combining 'Deep Travel', John Callahan's incredible photography and Sam's performance writing, they capture the spirit of these turbulent coast scapes, blood racing, running on salt water fuel. The wide belt around the Equator - the tropics - has become an alluring path for travel, but a region often steeped in war and environmental disasters. Sam and surf EXPLORE go off the regular route, carving a niche, collaborating with locals, documenting the occasion poetically and with precision. Where 'waves transform from green glass to white foam, the surfboard is the frozen double of that transition - a rainbow bridge that allows you to step in the blink of an eye from inertia to adrenaline-fuelled ecstasy to the fear of the water-wrestling hold-down.' The paradoxical red hot and cool blue of surfing, and the often icy logic of preparation for challenging travel, form a matrix from which springs a distinctive kind of writing as performance. By turns, surf EXPLORE gather their wits at the cross roads where 'lovers part and souls...

And Then There Was No One

Autor: Gilbert Adair

Número de Páginas: 192

The writer and professional controversialist Gustav Slavorigin is murdered in the small Swiss town of Meiringen during its annual Sherlock Holmes Festival, his body discovered with an arrow through the heart. With a price of ten million dollars on Slavorigin's head, almost none of the Festival's guests can be regarded as above suspicion. Except Evadne Mount, of course, the stubborn amateur sleuth and bestselling crime novelist from Gilbert Adair's The Act of Roger Murgatroyd and A Mysterious Affair of Style. Neither of those two cases, however, prepared her for the jaw-dropping twists of this new investigation, which climaxes at Meiringen's principal tourist attraction, the Reichenbach Falls - the site of Holmes's fatal confrontation with his nemesis, Moriarty . . .

The Oxford Handbook of Postcolonial Biblical Criticism

Autor: R. S. Sugirtharajah

Número de Páginas: 793

The Oxford Handbook of Postcolonial Biblical Criticism is a comprehensive treatment of a relatively new form of scholarship. Generally speaking, postcolonialism aims to critique and dismantle hegemonic worldviews and power structures, while giving voice to previously marginalized peoples and systems of thought. This approach has inevitably engaged with the text and reception of the Bible, a scripture that Western colonizers introduced to-and often imposed upon-their colonial subjects. With a globally diverse list of contributors, the Handbook aims to cover the perspective and context of the authors of the Bible, as well as the modern experiences of imperialism, resistance, decolonization, and nationalism.

Autor: Dorian Lynskey

Número de Páginas: 529

Una historia detallada de la canción protesta, uno de los géneros musicales que mejor han definido el siglo XX. Para Lynskey, la obra fundacional de este género es "Strange Fruit" que Billie Holiday interpretó por primera vez en 1939. En esa canción se reunían la calidad musical y la denuncia de una situación ignominiosa. Es importante insistir en esa reunión de calidad musical y denuncia porque éste es el criterio que rige este libro por encima de otras consideraciones. Pete Seegen, Joan Baez o Bob Dylan fueron pioneros de una carrera en la que los relevarían REM, U2 o Springsteen. Porque, al llegar a cierto punto, música popular y denuncia parecen indisociables. Lynskey se ocupa de esta relación describiendo los movimientos sociales que se apoyaron en la música para difundir su mensaje

Ecopoetics

Autor: Angela Hume , Gillian Osborne

Número de Páginas: 315

"Ecopoetics: Essays in the Field makes a formidable intervention into the emerging field of ecopoetics. The volume's essays model new and provocative methods for reading twentieth and twenty-first century ecological poetry and poetics, drawing on the insights of ecocriticism, contemporary philosophy, gender and sexuality studies, black studies, Native studies, critical race theory, and disability studies, among others. As a volume, this book makes the compelling argument that ecopoetics should be read as "coextensive with post-1945 poetry and poetics," rather than as a subgenre or movement within it. It is essential reading for any student or scholar working on contemporary literature or in the environmental humanities today"--Back cover.

On the Very Edge

Autor: Ian Kinane

Número de Páginas: 97

On the Very Edge: Bidentities in Michelle Cliff’s Fiction uses the life and work of bisexual, biracial, and bicultural author Michelle Cliff (1946–2016) to develop an entirely new approach to intersectional cultural, race, and gender/sexuality studies that prioritizes “bi-ness” as a methodological tool. The book focuses not “simply” on bisexuality, biracialism, or biculturalism as isolated identity concepts; rather, it explores the very nature of these intersectional identity categories as configured by Cliff. The text, therefore, represents a reclamation of bi identity in Cliff’s work as a much broader cultural, and not just sexual or racial, category, arguing that Cliff’s spaces and/or stages of “bi-ness” are in themselves significant in understanding contemporary global identity politics, as well as in navigating complex and often damaging identity constructs. Michelle Cliff, partnered with poet Adrienne Rich and “passing” as white, had an often-invisible sexuality and cultural identity. Yet her acclaimed work—Abeng, No Telephone to Heaven, Bodies of Water, If I Could Write This in Fire, Free Enterprise, and others—demonstrates the intersections...

Face à l’urgence climatique, à la montée des extrêmes, au mythe du pétrole et aux crispations identitaires, Dalie Giroux dit la faillite d’un ordre mondial déconnecté et les luttes qui esquissent des voix de résistance pour demain. Écrit magistralement, à la manière d'un pamphlet, ce livre incendiaire fait entendre les voix et les colères. l'autrice y va librement, par fragments, d'un bout à l'autre, peut-être qu'il a fallu un langage nouveau pour nommer et rendre compte des crises que vit le monde.

Mélancolie américaine - Poèmes

Autor: Joyce Carol Oates

Número de Páginas: 107

Le premier recueil de poésie traduit en français de la grande Joyce Carol Oates Dans une langue brûlante, Joyce Carol Oates interroge et dénonce une Amérique amnésique car malade. Qu'elle apostrophe " Marlon Brando en enfer " ; qu'elle s'interroge sur les dérives passées de la science lors d'expériences sur des enfants ou des singes ; qu'elle martèle les raisons qui mènent les femmes à un avortement ; qu'elle décrive le destin d'un vieux hobo de retour chez lui dans un quasi-anonymat, Joyce Carol Oates est à la croisée de l'intime et du politique. Ses poèmes disent la peur de la perte, le vide intérieur, la terre boueuse de sang et les hommes ivres de pouvoir. Premier recueil de poèmes traduit en français de la grande Joyce Carol Oates, Mélancolie américaine explore les contradictions d'une nation perpétuellement en quête d'un ordre social qu'elle ne cesse pourtant de faire éclater au nom d'une mythique et illusoire gloire passée.

The Cluetrain Manifesto (10th Anniversary Edition)

Autor: Rick Levine , Christopher Locke , Doc Searls , David Weinberger

Número de Páginas: 363

The Cluetrain Manifesto began as a Web site (cluetrain.com) in 1999 when the authors, who have worked variously at IBM, Sun Microsystems, the Linux Journal, and NPR, posted 95 theses about the new reality of the networked marketplace. Ten years after its original publication, their message remains more relevant than ever. For example, thesis no. 2: "Markets consist of human beings, not demographic sectors"; thesis no. 20: "Companies need to realize their markets are often laughing. At them." The book enlarges on these themes through dozens of stories and observations about business in America and how the Internet will continue to change it all. With a new introduction and chapters by the authors, and commentary by Jake McKee, JP Rangaswami, and Dan Gillmor, this book is essential reading for anybody interested in the Internet and e-commerce, and is especially vital for businesses navigating the topography of the wired marketplace.

Nochita

Autor: Dia Felix

Número de Páginas: 250

A poetic debut novel, formally experimental, by turns hallucinatory, darkly funny and brutally real. Nochita is tender, fierce, and unforgettable. Daughter to a divorced new age guru, Nochita wanders through the cracks of California's counter-culture, half feral child, half absurdist prophet. When tragedy strikes she is sent to live with her father, a working-class cowboy with a fragile grasp on sobriety and a dangerously mean fiancée. Stuck with adults chillingly unable to care for her, Nochita takes to the streets, a runaway with nothing to run from, driven forward by desperation, hope, and an irrepressible wonder. Nochita is a poetic novel dazzling in its detail, stylistically daring, by turns hallucinatory, darkly funny, and brutally real. At its heart is the singular voice of Nochita, tender and fierce, alone and alive and utterly unforgettable. Praise for Nochita: "Nochita shimmers with humor and delight, she burns with stark raving intelligence."—Mary Gaitskill "In Nochita, Dia Felix builds an extraordinarily rich and inventive language to carry the kaleidoscopic point of view of her young protagonist. What a pleasure to open a book and find such exuberant and committed...

Recomposing Ecopoetics

Autor: Lynn Keller

Número de Páginas: 374

In the first book devoted exclusively to the ecopoetics of the twenty-first century, Lynn Keller examines poetry of what she terms the "self-conscious Anthropocene," a period in which there is widespread awareness of the scale and severity of human effects on the planet. Recomposing Ecopoetics analyzes work written since the year 2000 by thirteen North American poets--including Evelyn Reilly, Juliana Spahr, Ed Roberson, and Jena Osman--all of whom push the bounds of literary convention as they seek forms and language adequate to complex environmental problems. Drawing as often on linguistic experimentalism as on traditional literary resources, these poets respond to environments transformed by people and take "nature" to be a far more inclusive and culturally imbricated category than conventional nature poetry does. This interdisciplinary study not only brings cutting-edge work in ecocriticism to bear on a diverse archive of contemporary environmental poetry; it also offers the environmental humanities new ways to understand the cultural and affective dimensions of the Anthropocene.
