Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Regions of Unlikeness Thomas Gardner explores the ways a number of quite different twentieth-century American poets, including Elizabeth Bishop, John Ashbery, Robert Hass, Jorie Graham, and Michael Palmer, frame their work as taking place within, and being brought to life by, an acknowledgment of the limits of language. Gardner approaches their poetry in light of philosopher Stanley Cavell?s remarkably similar engagement with the issues of skepticism and linguistic finitude. The skeptic?s refusal to settle for anything less than perfect knowledge of the world, Cavell maintains, amounts to a refusal to accept the fact of human finitude. Gardner argues that both Cavell and the poets he discusses reject skepticism?s world-erasing conclusions but nonetheless honor the truth about the limits of knowledge that skepticism keeps alive. In calling attention to the limits of such acts as describing or remembering, the poets Gardner examines attempt to renew language by teasing a charged drama out of their inability to grasp with certainty. ø Juxtaposed with Gardner?s readings of the work of the younger poets are his interviews with them. In many ways, these conversations are at the core of Gardner?s book, demonstrating the wide-ranging implications of the struggles and mappings enacted in the poems. The interviews are themselves examples of the charged intimacy Gardner deals with in his readings.

Book excerpt: "Unlikeness Is Us presents fourteen new translations of Old English poems preserved in the tenth-century Exeter Book, including well-known works like "The Seafarer" and "The Wanderer," as well as others rarely seen in translation. Prioritizing their integrity as poetry, Patton's translations work the Anglo-Saxon alliterative line into a patterned, four-beat contemporary English form, retaining the relentless forward drive of the originals and adhering to sometimes idiosyncratic scribal punctuation. Through his critical introduction, notes and commentary, Patton presents the reader with the complex history of these texts' transcription, translation and interpretation, departing from long-dominant Augustinian premises in favour of an approach that embraces the materiality of text and "a world animate, alarming, marvellous, and weird.""--

Abstract: Abstract This paper examines the relationships between 'likeness' and 'unlikeness' in three texts, a novella and two films: Jerzy Kosinski's Being There, Ridley Scott's Blade Runner and Andy and Larry Wachowski's The Matrix. The resulting analysis, focusing on sin and punishment, as well as empathy and humanity, looks at reinventions of Biblical narrative in light of a selection of postmodernist theories, including Patricia Waugh's writing on metafiction and Jean Baudrillard's ideas of simulacra and simulations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about some of the ways in which the world got ready to be connected, long before the advent of the technologies and the concentrations of capital necessary to implement a global 'network society'. It investigates the prehistory not of the communications 'revolution' brought about by advances in electronic digital computing from 1950 onwards, but of the principle of connectivity which was to provide that revolution with its justification and rallying-cry. Connectivity's core principle is that what matters most in any act of telecommunication, and sometimes all that matters, is the fact of its having happened. During the nineteenth century, the principle gained steadily increasing traction by means not only of formal systems such as the telegraph, but of an array of improvised methods and signalling devices. These methods and devices fulfilled not just an ever more urgent need, but a fundamental recurring desire, for near-instantaneous real-time communication at a distance. Connectivity became an end in itself: a complex, vivid, unpredictable romance woven through the enduring human desire and need for remote intimacy. Its magical enhancements are the stuff of tragedy, comedy, satire, elegy, lyric, melodrama, and plain description; of literature, in short. The book develops the concepts of signal, medium, and interface to offer, in its first part, an alternative view of writing in Britain from George Eliot and Thomas Hardy to D.H. Lawrence, Hope Mirrlees, and Katherine Mansfield; and, in its second, case-studies of European and African-American fiction, and of interwar British cinema, designed to open the topic up for further enquiry.
