Download or read book The Comedy of Entropy written by Patrick O'Neill and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Entropic comedy is the phrase coined by Patrick O'Neill in this study to identify a particular mode of twentieth-century narrative that is not generally recognized. He describes it as the narrative expression of forms of decentred humour, or what might more loosely be called 'black humour.' O'Neill begins his investigation by examining the rise of an essentially new form of humour over the last three hundred years or so in the context of a rapid decay of confidence in traditional authoritative value systems. O'Neill analyses the resulting reorganization of the spectrum of humour, and examines th implications of this for the ways in which we read texts and the world we live in. He then turns from intellectual history to narratology and considers the relationship, in theoretical terms, of homour, play, and narrative as systems of discourse and the role of the reader as a textualizing agent. Finally, he considers some dozen twentieth-century narratives in French, German, and English (with occasional reference to other literatures) in the context of those historical and theoretical concerns. Authors of the texts analysed include Céline, Camus, Satre, and Robbe-Grillet in French; Heller, Beckett, Pynchon, Nabokov, and Joyce in English; Grass, Kafka, and Handke in German. The analyses proceed along lines suggested by structuralist, semiotic, and post-structuraist narrative and literary theory. From his analyses of these works O'Neill concludes they illustrate in narrative terms a mode of modern writing definable as entropic comedy, and he develops a taxonomy of the mode.
Download or read book Phenomenology and the Human Positioning in the Cosmos written by Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-10-24 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic conception of human transcendental consciousness assumes its self-supporting existential status within the horizon of life-world, nature and earth. Yet this assumed absoluteness does not entail the nature of its powers, neither their constitutive force. This latter call for an existential source reaching beyond the generative life-world network. Transcendental consciousness, having lost its absolute status (its point of reference) it is the role of the logos to lay down the harmonious positioning in the cosmic sphere of the all, establishing an original foundation of phenomenology in the primogenital ontopoiesis of life.

Book excerpt: Primera parte: St. Dean Ryan está a punto de dar el gran salto a la universidad, aunque aún no tiene claro si ese es el camino que quiere seguir. Las dudas sobre su futuro abordan su mente y dispondrá de tres meses para descubrirse a sí mismo y lo que quiere en la vida. Pero no cuenta con que, en el transcurso de ese verano, conocerá a alguien que cambiará para siempre su forma de ver el mundo, a los demás e incluso a sí mismo. Segunda parte: Norwalk Ryan vuelve a la ciudad y deberá enfrentarse a los fantasmas del pasado, a sus propios miedos y al momento que tanto temía antes de verano; pero esta vez no lo hará solo. La historia se complica y se retuerce hasta límites insospechados, provocando que tanto él como su entorno tengan que adaptarse a las nuevas situaciones que se presentan en sus vidas. Aquí y ahora es una intensa novela que describe los altibajos de determinadas relaciones con las que cualquiera puede sentirse identificado, adentrándose en los problemas que pueden surgir cuando el mundo que te rodea no está preparado para sentimientos tan poderosos. Es la suma de varias historias que se funden en una sola; el reflejo de lo que ocurre cuando los caprichos de la vida coinciden en darnos todo aquello que pedimos o en robarnos todo lo que dábamos por nuestro. Nada es por casualidad y sólo nosotros somos los dueños de nuestro destino.
Download or read book Mussolini s Rome written by B. Painter and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-01-13 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1922 the Fascist 'March on Rome' brought Benito Mussolini to power. He promised Italians that his fascist revolution would unite them as never before and make Italy a strong and respected nation internationally. In the next two decades, Mussolini set about rebuilding the city of Rome as the site and symbol of the new fascist Italy. Through an ambitious program of demolition and construction he sought to make Rome a modern capital of a nation and an empire worthy of Rome's imperial past. Building the new Rome put people to work, 'liberated' ancient monuments, cleared slums, produced new "cities" for education, sports, and cinema, produced wide new streets, and provided the regime with a setting to showcase fascism's dynamism, power, and greatness. Mussolini's Rome thus embodied the movement, the man and the myth that made up fascist Italy.
