Download or read book Corpus written by Jean-Luc Nancy and published by Fordham Univ Press. This book was released on 2009-08-25 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How have we thought “the body”? How can we think it anew? The body of mortal creatures, the body politic, the body of letters and of laws, the “mystical body of Christ”—all these (and others) are incorporated in the word Corpus, the title and topic of Jean-Luc Nancy’s masterwork. Corpus is a work of literary force at once phenomenological, sociological, theological, and philosophical in its multiple orientations and approaches. In thirty-six brief sections, Nancy offers us at once an encyclopedia and a polemical program—reviewing classical takes on the “corpus” from Plato, Aristotle, and Saint Paul to Descartes, Hegel, Husserl, and Freud, while demonstrating that the mutations (technological, biological, and political) of our own culture have given rise to the need for a new understanding of the body. He not only tells the story of this cultural change but also explores the promise and responsibilities that such a new understanding entails. The long-awaited English translation is a bold, bravura rendering. To the title essay are added five closely related recent pieces—including a commentary by Antonia Birnbaum—dedicated in large part to the legacy of the “mind-body problem” formulated by Descartes and the challenge it poses to rethinking the ancient problems of the corpus. The last and most poignant of these essays is “The Intruder,” Nancy’s philosophical meditation on his heart transplant. The book also serves as the opening move in Nancy’s larger project called “The deconstruction of Christianity.”

Download or read book American Presidential Candidate Spouses written by Laurel Elder and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book offers a comprehensive analysis of public opinion toward presidential candidate spouses over the course of three decades, drawing on multiple theoretical frameworks including the concept of “new traditionalism” and a plethora of empirical data to explore why some spouses engender greater support than others—and what these reactions reveal about the American public and the gendered nature of the American presidency. Recognizing that presidential candidate spouses are important but understudied political actors, this book provides extensive analysis of public evaluations of Bill Clinton and Melania Trump during the 2016 presidential election as well as the presidential candidate spouses in the 1992 and 2012 elections and places public reaction to these individuals in historical context. The book considers important trends in U.S. elections including party polarization from the distinctive vantage points of candidate spouses and explores the symbolic importance of historic firsts including the first African American candidate spouse and the first male candidate spouse. No other work provides a systematic exploration of public opinion towards candidate spouses as distinct political entities across the modern political era.
Download or read book Hobbledehoy written by Ed Alcock and published by . This book was released on 2013-11-20 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Mon père m’appelait souvent "hobbledehoy". Il me lançait, moitié en parlant moitié en chantant : "he was neither man, nor boy ; he was but a hobbledehoy". Ma famille emploie ce mot, tiré du vieil anglais, depuis des générations. Il désigne cette période gauche, ingrate entre l’enfance et l’âge adulte. Il y a quelque chose dans la manière dont mon fils se tient, quelque chose dans la mélancolie de son regard qui évoquent, pour moi, un garçon plus âgé, déjà nostalgique de son enfance. J’avoue projeter beaucoup de ma propre enfance sur la sienne. Alors qui est ce Hobbledehoy : lui, moi, ou nous deux?". Emmanuel Carrère. "S’ils avaient été moches, renfrognés, si leur vie m’avait paru triste ou leurs sourires forcés, j’aurais vite refermé le carton, pensé que non, vraiment, je n’avais pas le droit de surprendre leur intimité". Un portrait intime autant qu’un regard intense sur la relation mère-fils. Ed Alcock et Emmanuel Carrère se retrouvent dans les mêmes traces, celles de la puissance et la fragilité de la famille et du rapport amoureux. Le regard tendre d’un grand portraitiste de presse sur son fils à la frontière de l’enfance et de l’adolescence. Un récit inédit d’Emmanuel Carrère, concentré du talent narratif de l’écrivain.
