Download or read book The Chain of Things written by Eric Downing and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2018-04-15 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Chain of Things, Eric Downing shows how the connection between divinatory magic and reading shaped the experience of reading and aesthetics among nineteenth-century realists and modernist thinkers. He explores how writers, artists, and critics such as Gottfried Keller, Theodor Fontane, and Walter Benjamin drew on the ancient practice of divination, connecting the Greek idea of sympathetic magic to the German aesthetic concept of the attunement of mood and atmosphere. Downing deftly traces the genealogical connection between reading and art in classical antiquity, nineteenth-century realism, and modernism, attending to the ways in which the modern re-enchantment of the world—both in nature and human society—consciously engaged ancient practices that aimed at preternatural prediction. Of particular significance to the argument presented in The Chain of Things is how the future figured into the reading of texts during this period, a time when the future as a narrative determinant or article of historical faith was losing its force. Elaborating a new theory of magic as a critical tool, Downing secures crucial links between the governing notions of time, world, the "real," and art.
Download or read book A Theory of Aspectuality written by Henk J. Verkuyl and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1996-05-30 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sentences may pertain to states or processes or events. They may express duration, frequency, habituality, and many other forms of temporality. How do they do this? It is the aspectual properties of sentences in natural languages which allow the user to express a temporal structure, and Henk Verkuyl presents a unified formal system to account for them. He explains aspectuality in terms of the opposition between terminative aspect and durative aspect, and describes the way in which terminative aspect is compositionally formed on the basis of semantic information expressed by different syntactic elements, in particular the verb and its arguments. The aim is to determine which semantic conditions make a sentence terminative; but at least ten different forms of durative aspectuality are also treated. All are drawn into a theory which can account for both terminative and durative aspectuality together. A Theory of Aspectuality draws together into a coherent whole the author's thinking on the subject over the last twenty years, and will interest all those working on aspect and the semantics of noun phrases. It promises to be a major new contribution to our understanding of the subject.

Book excerpt: All Dan wanted was to celebrate his anniversary in the beautiful Freedom Hotel with Judith, his loving wife of 13 years. Yet from the moment they entered the lobby Dan recognized that something was different. They had celebrated their anniversary there only three years earlier, and now it seemed the hotel he loved was pushing him away, telling him to leave while he still could. Dan didn't listen. Then the hallucinations began, if they were hallucinations. Taunting, tormenting, chasing his sanity and causing him to remember things he didn't want to remember and perhaps do things he didn't want to do. As from a siren of a forgotten life Dan was being dragged down into a world he could not see, by a Melody so strong he could not pull away. Was his future already formed for him by this past he could not remember? Would Dan be able to escape before he was pulled down for good? Even if he found the answers, would Danny ever be allowed his Freedom?
