Book excerpt: Why do we humans have hearts? Science says to keep the blood flowing through our body, to sustain life. Literature says to give meaning to our existence, to love someone.

Download or read book Toska written by Alina Pleskova and published by Deep Vellum Publishing. This book was released on 2023-06-13 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Toska derives its title from the Russian word which denotes a melancholic longing without a singular cause, longing for a better world than the late-stage capitalist hell we live in. Toska explores a sense of rootlessness and a sort of anti-nationalism; how the pervasive sense of being an immigrant or "in but not of" a place never quite dissipates, particularly amid the dissonance and alienation felt within U.S. culture gunning towards a vision of imperialist capitalist white supremacist hegemony. Still, within this bleak reality, there's an insistence on documenting and noticing the multivalence of desire — its delights and pitfalls alike. These poems come to the weary conclusion, time and time again, that sexual liberalism/liberation and hedonism are only one sort of revelation — that this sort of openness and exploration isn't enough to save anyone from despair or the existentially weary feeling of toska from which the title takes its name. But desire is not just Eros — the poems carry a strong desire for a different world, for everyone.

OMG, how did that happen? And when she meets a cute young man, with dark brown hair and eyes as blue as the sea, who takes her to simple places she has never encountered before, like ice cream parlors and carnivals, her life begins to turn around in the most unexpected ways. Too bad thats when the nightmares really begin. How can Eva even think about getting to know Ben Eisenberg when her abusers could be watching her every move?

Download or read book Melancholic Identities Toska and Reflective Nostalgia written by Sara Salmon and published by Firenze University Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the feeling that we often refer to as 'nostalgia' from the perspective of writers and artists located on the (imperial, Soviet, and Post-Soviet) periphery of Russian culture who regard the center of the culture from which they have been excluded with varying degrees of longing and ambivalence. The literary and artistic texts analyzed here have been shaped by these author's ruminations on social and psychological marginalization, a process that S. Boym has called 'reflective nostalgia' and that the authors of this volume also refer to as 'toska'

Download or read book Semantics Culture and Cognition written by Anna Wierzbicka and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1992-10-22 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not everything that can be said in one language can be said in another. The lexicons of different languages seem to suggest different conceptual universes. Investigating cultures from a universal, language-independent perspective, this book rejects analytical tools derived from the English language and Anglo culture and proposes instead a "natural semantic metalanguage" formulated in English words but based on lexical universals. The outcome of two and a half decades of research, the metalanguage is made up of universal semantic primitives in terms of which all meanings--including the most culture-specific ones--can be described and compared in a precise and illuminating way. Integrating insights from linguistics, cultural anthropology, and cognitive psychology, and written in simple, non-technical language, Semantics, Culture, and Cognition is accessible not only to scholars and students, but also to the general reader interested in semantics and the relationship between language and culture.
