Literature's Elsewheres (eBook, ePUB)
An examination of a series of diverse, radical, and experimental international works from the 1950s to the present. What is a literary work? In Literature's Elsewheres, Annette Gilbert tackles this question by deploying an extended concept of literature, examining a series of diverse, radical, experimental works from the 1950s to the present that occupy the liminal zone between art and literature. These works-by American Artist, Allison Parrish, Natalie Czech, Stephanie Syjuco, Fiona Banner, Elfriede Jelinek, Dan Graham, Robert Barry, George Brecht, and others-represent a pluralized literary practice that imagines a different literature emerging from its elsewheres. Investigating a work's coming into being-its transition from "text" to "work" as a social object and pragmatic category of literary communication-Gilbert probes the assumptions and foundations that underpin literature, including the ideologies and power structures that prop it up. She offers a snapshot from a period of recent literary and art history when such central concepts as originality and authorship were questioned and experimental literary practices ranged from concrete poetry and Oulipo to conceptual writing and appropriation literature. She examines works that are dematerialized, site-specific, unique copies of other works, and institutional critiques. Considering the inequalities, exclusions, and privileges inscribed in literature, she documents the power of experimental literature to attack these norms and challenges the field's canonical geographic boundaries by examining artists with roots in North and South America, East Asia, and Western and Eastern Europe. The cross-pollination of literary and art criticism enriches both fields. With Literature's Elsewheres, Gilbert explores what art can't see about the literary and what literature has overlooked in the arts.- Shop: buecher

Masterpieces of the Imaginative Mind: Literature's Most Fantastic Works, Hörbuch, Digital, 751min
Many of literature's greatest works, from ancient myths to the works of Nobel laureates, rely on fantasy. Even when there has been a dominant preference for realism, generation after generation of readers have been drawn to stories of the fantastic - not only for what they help us learn about ourselves as individuals or as members of society, but also for what they show about our social values. And now one of the world's foremost authorities on the literature of the fantastic and science fiction has created a series of 24 lectures that take you on a journey through some of the most remarkable feats of imagination in all of literature. You'll study strange tales of talking frogs and cannibal witches, from Mary Shelley's Frankenstein to Arthur C. Clarke's astonishing 2001: A Space Odyssey and beyond. Ranging from the early 1800s to contemporary times, Professor Rabkin casts a wide net for fantastic works and delves deeply into some of the most astonishing. You'll learn about the works and times of Edgar Allan Poe, the Brothers Grimm, Virginia Woolf, Lewis Carroll, Franz Kafka, Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, J.R.R. Tolkien, Ray Bradbury, Robert A. Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, and many others. And you'll see how artists you might not have even considered in this context - such as writers like Nathaniel Hawthorne, or composers like Offenbach and Tchaikovsky - owe a creative debt to this remarkably vibrant genre. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio. Language: English. Narrator: Eric S. Rabkin.

Literature's Living Room: At Home with England's Classic Novelists , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 192min
Literature's Living Room is the return invitation into the homes, architectural and natural, of classic authors whose writings we, as listeners, invite into our own homes. In this first book of the series, we explore houses (now open for public view) and natural environments of many novelists who resided throughout England: Jane Austen, the Brontë Sisters, Lewis Carroll, Agatha Christie, Winston Churchill, Charles Dickens, Elizabeth Gaskell, Thomas Hardy, C. S. Lewis, A. A. Milne, William Morris, Beatrix Potter, and Virginia Woolf, among many others. The book has an extensive glossary that deals with, authors, authors' families, other artistic figures, and royalty. Since environments inspired many writers, from Emily Bronte in Wuthering Heights and Beatrix Potter in The Tale of Peter Rabbit to J. R. R. Tolkien in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, the book features a nature section by horticulturist Robbie Honey, raised in Zimbabwe and now working globally as a lecturer, a floral creative in the fashion industry (client brands Hermès, Dior, Armani, and Vivienne Westwood), and a writer for such publications as The Wall Street Journal. The series has been created by lead author Mary Lee Costa, a graduate of Oxford University. Influenced in her formative years by such outlets as PBS, Mary Lee, who struggled with learning to read, came to value alternative approaches to education, such as coming to understand aspects of literature and history by touring house museums: the houses where great characters were created, from Oliver Twist to Alice in Wonderland, from Winnie-the-Pooh to Sydney Carton, from Mr. Darcy to Mrs. Dalloway, and from Jane Eyre to Miss Jane Marple. ungekürzt.
