Nineteenth-Century Interiors Volume II: Styles of Decoration and Design

This volume of primary source materials documents the nineteenth-century search for a representative style and the alternating fashions for interiors that demonstrated the consumerism of the period. Although in some senses every interior is unique so that a style canon may seem to be meaningless there have been important historical trends or styles that have influenced individual interiors and these have formed the groundwork from which other styles and tastes have developed and changed. Accompanied by extensive editorial commentary this collection will be of great interest to students and scholars of art history. | Nineteenth-Century Interiors Volume II: Styles of Decoration and Design

Women Philosophers Genre And The Boundaries Of Philosophy

Women Philosophers Genre And The Boundaries Of Philosophy

Long considered ?non-philosophical ? the letters and novels of women like Catharine Macaulay Mary Wollstonecraft and George Eliot have often been omitted from the canon of the Western philosophical tradition. This unfortunate omission is corrected here through Catherine Villanueva Gardner's thorough discussion of the philosophical importance of their work. Gardner also looks carefully at why letters and novels have been considered this way since they are so prevalent in the work of women in general. Gardner argues that the devaluation or exclusion of certain forms of writing is connected to the biases that underpin the Western ethical tradition. This book is critical reading for courses in introductory philosophy and women's studies. | Women Philosophers Genre And The Boundaries Of Philosophy

Discipline by Mary Brunton

Discipline by Mary Brunton

Discipline the second novel by the Scottish writer Mary Brunton (1778-1818) was published in 1814. While less well known than its predecessor Self-Control (1811) it is nonetheless equally deserving of a central place in the canon of Romantic-era fiction. A wide-ranging novel it shares many themes with contemporary fiction such as women’s difficulties in earning money and the horror of being falsely imprisoned in an insane asylum. However it is Discipline’s innovative attempt at psychological realism that sets it apart from its contemporaries. Through the moral growth of its heroine Ellen Percy Discipline insists on women’s self-determination and their ability to become rational agents in a world that treats them as objects merely of desire or contempt. This edition is edited by Olivia Murphy who has added careful editorial notes and an insightful new introduction to the text. | Discipline by Mary Brunton

The Road to Antioch and Jerusalem The Crusader Pilgrimage of the Monte Cassino Chronicle

The Road to Antioch and Jerusalem The Crusader Pilgrimage of the Monte Cassino Chronicle

This is the first translation of the Hystoria de via or ‘Monte Cassino Chronicle ’ one of the few surviving crusader sources from Southern Italy where it was probably compiled (partly from known sources) between the 1130s and 1140s. The chronicle’s original sections offer new and fresh insight on the knowledge and reception of the First Crusade in Southern Italy and the devotional and pilgrimage practices which surrounded it. The introduction contextualises the chronicle in the environment which produced it discussing the historiographical tradition at Montecassino the likely sources for the Hystoria and its significance as an original source. The introduction also comments extensively on the theological framework of the Hystoria which offers an intensely religious view of the crusade as pilgrimage and insists particularly on the primacy of violence in its vision of Christian devotional practice and the crusade as continuous movement through suffering for the pilgrims. The translation which is both faithful to the text and highly readable is accompanied by detailed references and a full commentary. The volume makes an important addition to the canon of crusader sources and provides a little-known example for specialists of the literature of pilgrimage in the Middle Ages. | The Road to Antioch and Jerusalem The Crusader Pilgrimage of the Monte Cassino Chronicle

Curating the Contemporary in the Art Museum

Curating the Contemporary in the Art Museum

Curating the Contemporary in the Art Museum traces the art museum back to the postwar era. Including contributions by established and emerging art historians academics and curators the book proposes that the art museum is engaged in the contemporary in a double sense: it (re)presents contemporary art while the contemporary condition itself also has a significant impact on art and the museum that houses it. Presenting a diverse range of international cases of exhibitions and curatorial practices which hail primarily from Europe and Scandinavia the essays examine the politics of staging “national” “international” and “global” framings of modernism as well as the new public spaces shaped in digital practices and changing political frameworks. The book investigates both the seminal and the unknown exhibitions and institutions that created contemporary art as we know it today. Curating the Contemporary in the Art Museum provides a historical perspective on the museum of contemporary art. It constitutes a step towards differencing the canon of modernist and contemporary art and a more complex understanding of the politics of curating the contemporary in the art museum why it will be of interest to academics and students engaged in the study of museums curating exhibitions and art history.

Selected Writings of Anil Gharai Dalit Literature from Bangla

Selected Writings of Anil Gharai Dalit Literature from Bangla

Anil Gharai is arguably one of the most significant authors of Bangla Dalit literature. His works deal with the stark everyday realities of people on the margins and the complex interplay of domination and subjugation in these spaces. This volume of English translations of some of his most celebrated works seeks to introduce his writings to a new readership in India and abroad. In his works Gharai explored caste-based and gender-based oppression in the rural areas of coastal Bengal. His protagonists are from remote spaces from the Dalit community or the indigenous communities—men and women who work and live in extremely exploitative circumstances and whose lives are depicted by Gharai with great care and detail. His novels short stories and poems translated in this volume give voice to the unrepresented and offer a critique of the oppressive caste and class hierarchies and traditions in eastern India. He also focuses on the replication of patriarchal mores within Dalit society and culture. This volume includes critical essays on Anil Gharai and his long interview to reflect on his position in the alternative literary canon of Bangla Dalit literature. Part of the Voices from the Margins series this critical edition seeks to visibilise the less visible literary texts and traditions. It will be of interest to those scholars engaged in contemporary Indian/South Asian literary cultures comparative literature modern Indian literature minority studies Dalit studies and gender studies. It will also be useful to students and researchers of social sciences and humanities. | Selected Writings of Anil Gharai Dalit Literature from Bangla

The Novelist in the Novel Gender and Genius in Fictional Representations of Authorship 1850–1949

The Novelist in the Novel Gender and Genius in Fictional Representations of Authorship 1850–1949

Why do writers so often write about writers? This book offers the first comprehensive account of the phenomenon of the fictional novelist as a character in literature arguing that our notions of literary genius – and what it means to be an author – are implicitly shaped by and explicitly challenged in novels about novelists a genre that has been critically underexamined. Employing both close and distant reading techniques to analyse a large corpus of author-stories The Novelist in the Novel explores the forms and functions of author-stories and the characters within them offering a new theory that frames these works as textual sites at which questions of literary value and the cultural conceptions around authorship are constantly being negotiated and revised in a form of covert criticism aimed directly at readers. While nineteenth-century novels about novelists reveal a pervasive frustration with the market – a starving artist vs. commercial sell-out dichotomy – modernist examples of the genre focus on the development of the individual author-as-artist entirely aloof from the marketplace and from the literary sphere at large. Yet each of these dynamics is gendered with women denigrated to commercial producers and men elevated to artists and while the canon has largely supported the male view of authorship a closer look at the work of women writers from this period reveals concerted attempts to counteract it. Silly Lady Novelists are pitted against serious male modernists in a battle to define what it means to be a literary genius. | The Novelist in the Novel Gender and Genius in Fictional Representations of Authorship 1850–1949

Nursing Theory Postmodernism Post-structuralism and Foucault

Nursing Theory Postmodernism Post-structuralism and Foucault

Nursing Theory Postmodernism Post-structuralism and Foucault critiques mainstream American nursing theory and its use of post-structural theory comparing and contrasting how postmodern and post-structural ideas have been used fruitfully in nursing research and theorizing elsewhere. In the late 1980s references to post-structuralism and Michel Foucault started to appear in nursing journals. Since then hundreds of nursing publications have cited postmodernism and key post-structural ideas such as power/knowledge discourse and de-centring the human subject. In Nursing Theory Postmodernism Post-structuralism and Foucault Olga Petrovskaya argues that the application of these ideas is markedly different in American nursing theory scholarship compared to nursing theoretical scholarship generated outside the canon of unique nursing theory. Analysing relevant literature from the late 1980s through 2010s she demonstrates this difference arguing that American nursing theory calcified into a matrix of dogmas built on logical positivism wary of borrowed theory and loyal to a unique nursing science. Post-structural ideas that fit the matrix such as criticism of medicine are sanctioned whereas ideas sceptical of humanistic agendas including those that challenge American nursing theory are rendered meaningless. In contrast other nurse scholars from Britain Australia Canada and what the author calls the American enclave group engaged with postmodern and post-structural perspectives to enrich their research and invite readers to rethink nursing practice. The book showcases examples of their intelligent creative theorizing. Arguing that American nursing theory enervated nursing theorizing Petrovskaya calls for opening this matrix to theoretical and methodological creativity less rigid categories of scholarship and healthy self-examination. Making the case that post-structural ideas are vital for nurses’ ability to critically reflect on their discipline and profession this is a necessary read for all those interested in nursing theory philosophy and praxis.

Philosophic Classics: Ancient Philosophy Volume I

Philosophic Classics: Ancient Philosophy Volume I

This seventh edition of Philosophic Classics Volume I: Ancient Philosophy includes essential writings of the most important Greek philosophers along with selections from some of their Roman followers. In updating this edition editor Forrest E. Baird has continued to follow the same criteria established by the late Walter Kaufmann when the Philosophic Classics series was first established: (1) to use complete works or where more appropriate complete sections of works (2) in clear translations (3) of texts central to the thinker’s philosophy or widely accepted as part of the canon. To make the works more accessible to students most footnotes treating textual matters (variant readings etc. ) have been omitted and important Greek words have been transliterated and put in angle brackets. In addition each thinker is introduced by a brief essay composed of three sections: (1) biographical (a glimpse of the life) (2) philosophical (a résumé of the philosopher’s thought) and (3) bibliographical (suggestions for further reading). New to this seventh edition: Changes in translations: New translations of Plato’s Apology and Phaedo and Aristotle’s Nichomachean Ethics and Politics from the acclaimed Focus Philosophical Library Series. New translations of Plato’s Euthyphro and Crito. New translations of Epicurus’s Letter to Herodotus Letter to Menoeceus and Principal Doctrines. New translation of the Parmenides fragments. Additional material: Gorgias’s model oration Encomium on Helen which gives a defense of Helen of Troy. A selection from Plato’s Gorgias on nature versus convention or law . Additional material from the opening of Plato’s Symposium to contextualize the dialogue. Additional material from Plato’s Republic (Book IX) on the tri-partite soul. Additional material from Aristotle’s Metaphysics (Book IV 1-4 7) on the nature of being and the so-called three rules of thought. A brief selection from Porphyry’s Life of Plotinus giving a sense of the person. Updated and reorganized bibliographies. To allow for all these changes a section of Book V from Plato’s Republic has been dropped. Those who use this first volume in a one-term course in ancient philosophy will find more material here than can easily fit a normal semester. But this embarrassment of riches gives teachers some choice and for those who offer the same course year after year an opportunity to change the menu. | Philosophic Classics: Ancient Philosophy Volume I
