Book Po  sie Ininterrompue II

    Book Details:
  • Author : Paul Éluard
  • Publisher : Bloodaxe Contemporary French P
  • Release : 1996
  • ISBN :
  • Pages : 168 pages

Download or read book Po sie Ininterrompue II written by Paul Éluard and published by Bloodaxe Contemporary French P. This book was released on 1996 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul luard's poetry is concerned with sexual desire and the desire for social change. A central participant in Dada and in the Surrealist movement, luard joined the French Communist Party and worked actively in the Resistance in Nazi-occupied Paris. Caught between the horrors of Stalinism and post-war, right-wing anti-communism, his writing sustains an insistent vision of poetry as a multi-faceted weapon against injustice and oppression. For luard, poetry is a way of infiltrating the reader with greater emotional awareness of the social problems of the modern world. Unbroken Poetry II, published posthumously in 1953, pays tribute to Dominique luard, with whom Paul spent the last years of his life. It traces the internal dialogues of a passionate relationship as well as of his continuing re-evaluation of the poetic project it-self. It centres on political commitment and places it at the heart of the lovers' desire.

Book Investigating Sex

  • Author : José Pierre
  • Publisher : Verso Books
  • Release : 2014-04-03
  • ISBN : 1781689547
  • Pages : 230 pages

Download or read book Investigating Sex written by José Pierre and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2014-04-03 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are women's orgasms more intense than men's? What did Andr Breton think of homosexuality? Can love be separated from physical desire? In 1928 a group of surrealist writers and artists held twelve round table discussions to address these questions. Calling them "researches into sexuality," their bizarre and humorous conversations are now made available in this new edition in all their surreal and salacious detail. Their research spanned the most critical period for surrealism, a time of bitter political disputes, echoed in the intensity of these meetings and in the range of participants, including Andr Breton, Paul Eluard, Yves Tanguy, Benjamin Pret and Pierre Naville. Well before the so-called sexual revolution, their erotic exchanges broke sexual taboos and encouraged surrealists to openly share the libidinal themes they explored in their writing and art. In doing so, JoAnn Wypijewski writes in the new introduction, they are revealed as "lovers and prigs, fantasists and humanists, adventurers in mind if not always in flesh-flawed, foolish, brilliant, clangingly sexual human beings."

Book Paul Celan s Encounters with Surrealism

Download or read book Paul Celan s Encounters with Surrealism written by Charlotte Ryland and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 387 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Paul Celan (1920-1970), one of the most important and challenging poets in post-war Europe, was also a prolific and highly idiosyncratic translator. His post-Holocaust writing is inextricably linked to the specific experiences that have shaped contemporary European and American identity, and at the same time has its roots in literary, philosophical and scientific traditions that range across continents and centuries surrealism being a key example. Celan's early works emerge from a fruitful period for surrealism, and they bear the marks of that style, not least because of the deep affinity he felt with the need to extend the boundaries of expression. In this comparative and intertextual study, Charlotte Ryland shows that this interaction continued throughout Celans lifetime, largely through translation of French surrealist poems, and that Celans great oeuvre can thus be understood fully only in the light of its interaction with surrealist texts and artworks, which finally gives rise to a wholly new poetics of translation. Charlotte Ryland is Lecturer in German at St Hughs College and The Queens College, Oxford."

Book The Ethics of Psychoanalysis 1959 1960

Download or read book The Ethics of Psychoanalysis 1959 1960 written by Jacques Lacan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-19 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his famous seminar on ethics, Jacques Lacan uses this question as his departure point for a re-examination of Freud's work and the experience of psychoanalysis in relation to ethics. Delving into the psychoanalyst's inevitable involvement with ethical questions, Lacan clarifies many of his key concepts. During the seminar he discusses the problem of sublimation, the paradox of jouissance, the essence of tragedy, and the tragic dimension of analytical experience. One of the most influential French intellectuals of this century, Lacan is seen here at the height of his powers.

Book Horse and Rider in the Late Viking Age

Download or read book Horse and Rider in the Late Viking Age written by Merete Schifter Bagge and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-28 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2017 an exceptionally rich equestrian burial from the 10th century was discovered at Fregerslev near Skanderborg, Denmark. The burial contained a high-status horseman, buried with valuable grave goods. At the initial discovery, parts of the bridle and harness for several horses were excavated. Many further precious metal objects are indicated by means of metal detector surveys in the tomb chamber. This volume seeks to place the burial in a wider context. First of all, the preliminary results from the excavation of the Fregerslev burial are embraced. The finds and scientific results demonstrate what a remarkable burial this once was. Moreover, the description of the excavation methods and documentation procedures, the sampling strategies, and the following conservation and preservation of the finds, gives an idea of the many new scientific approaches, which may be useful when dealing with a decomposed grave in the future. Secondly the volume aims to explore the social, political, cultural and religious background of equestrian burial in a variety of countries, including Slovenia, Scotland, Sweden and Iceland. Was the burial from Fregerslev and others like it, an expression of a new powerful elite? New religious symbolism? New funerary rituals? New cultural impulses and changing values?
