Download or read book Transgender and Intersex Theoretical Practical and Artistic Perspectives written by Stefan Horlacher and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-09 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes both transgender and intersex positions into account and asks about commonalities and strategic alliances in terms of knowledge, theory, philosophy, art, and life experience. It strikes a balance between works on literature, film, photography, sports, law, and general theory, bringing together humanistic and social science approaches. Horlacher adopts a non-hierarchical perspective and asks how transgender and intersex issues are conceptualized from a variety of different viewpoints and to what extent artistic and creative discourses offer their own uniquely relevant forms of knowledge and expression.
Download or read book Post World War II Masculinities in British and American Literature and Culture written by Stefan Horlacher and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analyzing literary texts, plays, films and photographs within a transatlantic framework, this volume explores the inseparable and mutually influential relationship between different forms of national identity in Great Britain and the United States and the construction of masculinity in each country. The contributors take up issues related to how certain kinds of nationally specific masculine identifications are produced, how these change over time, and how literature and other forms of cultural representation eventually question and deconstruct their own myths of masculinity. Focusing on the period from the end of World War II to the 1980s, the essays each take up a topic with particular cultural and historical resonance, whether it is hypermasculinity in early cold war films; the articulation of male anxieties in plays by Arthur Miller, David Mamet and Sam Shepard; the evolution of photographic depictions of masculinity from the 1960s to the 1980s; or the representations of masculinity in the fiction of American and British writers such as Patricia Highsmith, Richard Yates, John Braine, Martin Amis, Evan S. Connell, James Dickey, John Berger, Philip Roth, Frank Chin, and Maxine Hong Kingston. The editors and contributors make a case for the importance of understanding the larger context for the emergence of more pluralistic, culturally differentiated and ultimately transnational masculinities, arguing that it is possible to conceptualize and emphasize difference and commonality simultaneously.
Download or read book Aldous Huxley and Self Realization written by Dana Sawyer and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2019-07 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout his writing career, and especially in the last thirty years of his life, Aldous Huxley exhibited a deep interest in human potentialities, which he often described as our greatest unused natural resource. The present volume is the first book to focus on this Huxleyan core concern. It is based on presentations given at the Sixth International Aldous Huxley Symposium held in 2017 at the University of Almería (Spain). This volume collects essays by eleven scholars from eight countries that discuss Huxley's concept of human potentialities from an interdisciplinary perspective. This is another innovative feature of this book, since today Huxley is mainly remembered as a novelist, although only eleven of his fifty published works belong to that genre. The topics of this volume span Huxley's mature philosophy, including his theories relating to the expansion of consciousness, the development of nonverbal humanities, the need to improve bio-ethics, the role of nature, the role of beliefs and prejudice, and other subjects. These essays review Huxley's various positions, shedding light on their possible significance for today. Huxley marshalled his remarkable intellect to the project of improving the human condition, and here we find an up-to-date report card of his theories and their efficacy.

This book was released on 2020-06-22 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whatever societies accept as ‘knowledge’ is embedded in epistemological, institutional, political, and economic power relations. How is knowledge produced under such circumstances?

Book excerpt: Die Beiträger dieses Sammelbandes wollen die nach 1989 offensichtliche Verunsicherung des Forschungsfeldes DDR-Literatur produktiv überwinden. Vier Beiträge befassen sich mit Umgang, Stellenwert und zukünftiger Rolle von DDR-Literatur (Literaturgeschichtsschreibung und methodisch-theoretische Fragestellungen). Neben zwei fachübergreifenden Beiträgen zur DDR-Geschichtsschreibung und zum russischen Autor Wladimir Dudinzew suchen mehrere Beiträge Texten 'typischer' und 'untypischer' DDR-Autoren neue Sichtweisen abzugewinnen. Brigitte Reimanns Franziska Linkerhand, aber auch ihre frühen und eher vergessenen Texte, Johannes Bobrowskis Lyrik, Bertolt Brechts Der kaukasische Kreidekreis, Christoph Heins Horns Ende und Volker Brauns Das Nichtgelebte sind Gegenstand dieser Beiträge - auf das neues Leben blühe aus den Ruinen.

Download or read book Writing travel writing life written by Pia Sójka and published by Universitätsverlag Potsdam. This book was released on 2023-01-10 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book compares the texts of three Swiss authors: Ella Maillart, Annemarie Schwarzenbach and Nicolas Bouvier. The focus is on their trip from Genève to Kabul that Ella Maillart and Annemarie Schwarzenbach made together in 1939/1940 and Nicolas Bouvier 1953/1954 with the artist Thierry Vernet. The comparison shows the strong connection between the journey and life and between ars vivendi and travel literature. This book also gives an overview of and organises the numerous terms, genres, and categories that already exist to describe various travel texts and proposes the new term travelling narration. The travelling narration looks at the text from a narratological perspective that distinguishes the author, narrator, and protagonist within the narration. In the examination, ten motifs could be found to characterise the travelling narration: Culture, Crossing Borders, Freedom, Time and Space, the Aesthetics of Landscapes, Writing and Reading, the Self and/as the Other, Home, Religion and Spirituality as well as the Journey. The importance of each individual motif does not only apply in the 1930s or 1950s but also transmits important findings for living together today and in the future.
Download or read book Ancient Ethics written by Jörg Hardy and published by V&R Unipress. This book was released on 2014-05-14 with total page 498 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents essays on Ancient ethics from Homer to Plotinus with a focus on the significance of Ancient ethical thinking for contemporary ethics. Adapting Kant's words, we might describe philosophers today as holding that meta-ethics without normative ethics is empty; normative ethics without meta-ethics is blind. One fascinating feature of Ancient ethics is its close connection between content and method, between normative ethics and meta-ethics. In connecting ethical, epistemological, and cosmological issues, Ancient ethical theories strive for an integrated understanding of normativity. The project of this volume is to capture some of the colours of the bright spectrum of ancient ethics. The goal of bundling them together is, ultimately, to shed better light on the issues of contemporary ethics. Topics: Classical Chinese Ethics, Indian Ethics, Homeric Ethics, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Hellenistic philosophy, Plotinus, Ancient and Modern Moral Psychology, Hybrid Theories of Normativity, The Unity of the Virtues, The Art of Life and Morality (Lebenskunst und Moral). Contributors: J. Annas, M. Anagnostopoulos, R. Aprressyan, Th. C. Brickhouse / N. D. Smith, J. Bussanich, C. Collobert, S. Delcomminette, W. Detel, D. Frede, L. Gerson, Ch. Halbig, J. Hardy, O.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Games form an integral part of life and the rules that determine how they are to be played provide us with rich insights into the specific nature of cultures. Comprising theoretical, philosophical, and legal discussions, the contexts of game playing are comprehensively examined in essays which range widely through time and space. In focussing on the topic of game playing this volume of essays - which stems from a Transcultura symposium on the transcultural key-concept of "the rules of the game" - engages in a fresh way with the field of sports as a unique and yet shared cultural phenomenon.
