Famous Americans / Loren Goodman

Public ISBD Titre : Famous Americans Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Loren Goodman Editeur : New Haven : Yale University Press Année de publication : 2003 Collection : The Yale series of younger poets num. v. 97 Importance : 81 p. Format : 24 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 0-300-10002-7 Langues : Anglais Catégories : LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:821 English poetry Index. décimale : 811/.6 Résumé : This year's winner of the Yale Series of Younger Poets competition is Loren Goodman's Famous Americans. Hilarious, eclectic, and bizarre, this collection takes the reader on a roller-coaster of a ride through the absurdities of American pop culture. Employing a variety of forms (from epistolary to script to interview and beyond), this work proves to be as much about exploring frame-works as it is about examining the lives of famous and not-so-famous Americans. Goodman questions our concept of what it means to be an icon: he disrupts our assumptions, creating an alternate universe in which nothing remains sacred.

The new paradigm in architecture / Charles Jencks

Public ISBD Titre : The new paradigm in architecture : the language of post-modernism Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Charles Jencks, Auteur Mention d'édition : 7th ed Editeur : New Haven : Yale University Press Année de publication : 2002 Importance : 279 p. Présentation : ill., jaquette ill. en coul. Format : 30 cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-300-09512-8 Note générale : Ed. rev. de : The language of post-modern architecture. 6th ed. 1991 Langues : Anglais Catégories : ARCHITECTURE:720.1 Théorie et histoire Mots-clés : Architecture-postmoderne Résumé : The new paradigm in architecture tells the story of a movement that has changed the face of architecture over the last forty years. The book begins by surveying the counter culture of the 1960s, when Jane Jacobs and Robert Venturi called for a more complex urbanism and architecture. It concludes by showing how such demands began to be realized by the 1990s in a new architecture that is aided by computer design. Promoted by such architects as Frank Gehry, Daniel Libeskind, and Peter Eisenman, it has also been adopted by many schools and offices around the world. Charles Jencks traces the history of computer design which is built on the desire for an architecture that communicates with its users, one based on the heterogeneity of cities and global culture. This book, the first to explore the broad issue of Postmodernism, has fostered its growth in other fields such as philosophy and the arts. First written at the start of an architectural movement in the mid-1970s, it has been completely rewritten and with two new chapters, brings the history up to date.

Shakespeare the Thinker. / A. D. Nuttall

Public ISBD Titre : Shakespeare the Thinker. : Shakespeare the Thinker. Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : A. D. Nuttall, Auteur Editeur : New Haven : Yale University Press Année de publication : 2007 Importance : 448 p. Format : 15.5x23.5 cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-300-13629-6 Langues : Anglais Mots-clés : Shakespeare  imagination  language  communicate  historicist  criticism  racist  sexis  thistorical  matrix. Résumé : A. D. Nuttall's study of Shakespeare's intellectual preoccupations is a literary tour de force and comes to crown the distinguished career of a Shakespeare scholar. Certain questions engross Shakespeare from his early plays to the late romances: the nature of motive, cause, personal identity and relation, the proper status of imagination, ethics and subjectivity, language and its capacity to occlude and to communicate. Yet Shakespeare's thought, Nuttall demonstrates, is anything but static. The plays keep returning to, modifying, and complicating his creative preoccupations. Nuttall allows us to hear and appreciate the emergent cathedral choir of play speaking to play. By the later stages of Nuttall's book this choir is nearly overwhelming in its power and dimensions. The author does not limit discussion to moments of crucial intellection but gives himself ample space in which to get at the distinctive essence of each work. Much recent historicist criticism has tended to "flatten" Shakespeare by confining him to the thought-cliches of his time, and this in its turn has led to an implicitly patronizing view of him as unthinkingly racist, sexist, and so on. Nuttall shows us that, on the contrary, Shakespeare proves again and again to be more intelligent and perceptive than his 21st-century readers. This book challenges us to reconsider the relation of great literature to its social and historical matrix. It is also, perhaps, the best guide to Shakespeare's plays available in English.
