Almost everything about Wallace is at odds with the Midwestern university town where he is working uneasily toward a biochem degree. An introverted young man from Alabama, black and queer, he has left behind his family without escaping the long shadows of his childhood. For reasons of self-preservation, Wallace has enforced a wary distance even within his own circle of friends—some dating each other, some dating women, some feigning straightness. But over the course of a late-summer weekend, a series of confrontations with colleagues, and an unexpected encounter with an ostensibly straight, white classmate, conspire to fracture his defenses while exposing long-hidden currents of hostility and desire within their community. Real Life is a novel of profound and lacerating power, a story that asks if it’s ever really possible to overcome our private wounds, and at what cost.

Book excerpt: Le long voyage, dans la société Balkar, d’une mère et veuve attentionnée. Toya, une jeune perle balkar de treize ans, est arrachée trop tôt de l’école pour être offerte en mariage à Nathan, un veuf âgé de trente et un ans. Ici le coup de foudre est inexistant; l’union précède l’amour. L’époux, à peine sorti de sa formation d’évangéliste presbytérien, se détourne du ministère pour le poste prestigieux de gérant du premier et unique magasin de son village. Le couple connait des moments de gloire inoubliables jusqu’au jour où tout bascule avec la fermeture du point de vente. Toya s’efforce encore de s’accommoder du nouveau mode de vie paysan quand Nathan, non content de compter un seul garçon, décide de devenir bigame, à la quête des enfants mâles. Un rêve déçu, car la nouvelle épouse lui offre trois filles en trois maternités successives. Finalement, la cour sera peuplée des petits garçons tant adorés dans cette société. Devenue veuve à trente-neuf ans, Toya est victime du rouleau compresseur de la tradition dont se sert l’unique frère cadet de Nathan, pour régner en maître absolu sur les biens et les épouses du défunt. Il fait des jeunes orphelins une main-d’oeuvre dans les champs de coton pendant des années. Cependant, même au plus fort de ses cauchemars, Toya ne désespère pas de libérer la maison de Nathan d’un joug qui ne dit pas son nom. Profitant d’un séjour médical, elle déserte la concession de Bakmul pour s’installer dans un centre urbain où ses enfants la rejoignent et savourent la liberté. Son fils aîné, universitaire de son état, prend la relève et fait de ses jeunes frères et soeurs des personnes autonomes et épanouies. Au fil du temps, Toya est rongée par une hypertension longtemps ignorée, qui aura raison d’elle. La veuve balkar s’éteint à l’âge de soixante-dix-neuf ans, entourée de siens. Son combat fut des plus nobles et des plus couronnés.

Download or read book Fin de Si cle Social Theory written by Jeffrey C. Alexander and published by Verso. This book was released on 1995 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In four closely interwoven studies, Jeffrey Alexander identifies the central dilemma that provokes contemporary social theory and proposes a new way to resolve it. The dream of reason that marked the previous fin de siècle foundered in the face of the cataclysms of the twentieth century, when war, revolution, and totalitarianism came to be seen as themselves products of reason. In response there emerged the profound skepticism about rationality that has so starkly defined the present fin de siècle. From Wittgenstein through Rorty and postmodernism, relativism rejects the very possibility of universal standards, while for both positivism and neo-Marxists like Bourdieu, reductionism claims that ideas simply reflect their social base. In a readable and spirited argument, Alexander develops the alternative of a "neo-modernist" position that defends reason from within a culturally centered perspective while remaining committed to the goal of explaining, not merely interpreting, contemporary social life. On the basis of a sweeping reinterpretation of postwar society and its intellectuals, he suggests that both antimodernist radicalism and postmodernist resignation are now in decline; a more democratic, less ethnocentric and more historically contingent universalizing social theory may thus emerge. Developing in his first two studies a historical approach to the problem of "absent reason," Alexander moves via a critique of Richard Rorty to construct his case for "present reason." Finally, focusing on the work of Pierre Bourdieu, he provokes the most sustained critical reflection yet on this influential thinker. Fin de Siecle Social Theory is a tonic intervention in contemporary debates, showing how social and cultural theory can properly take the measure of the extraordinary times in which we live.
