Prison Noir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 473min

Akashic Books continues its groundbreaking series of original noir anthologies, launched with the summer '04 award-winning best seller Brooklyn Noir. Each book is comprised of all-new stories, each one set in a distinct neighborhood or location within the respective geographic range of the book. This anthology, with stories set in different prisons across the US, presents an absolutely new perspective on prison literature. From the introduction by Joyce Carol Oates: "The blood jet is poetry - these words of Sylvia Plath have reverberated through my experience of reading and rereading the stories of Prison Noir. In this case the blood jet is prose, though sometimes poetic prose; if we go a little deeper, in some chilling instances, the blood jet is exactly that: blood. For these stories are not "literary" exercises - though some are exceptionally well-written by any formalist standards, and artfully structured as narratives; with a single exception the stories are stark, somber, emotionally driven cris de coeur... We may feel revulsion for some of the acts described in these stories, but we are likely to feel a startled, even stunned sympathy for the perpetrators. And in several stories, including even murderers' confessions, we are likely to feel a profound and unsettling identification... There is no need for fantasy-horror in a place in which matter-of-fact horror is the norm, and mental illness is epidemic. Vividly rendered realism is the predominant literary strategy, as in a riveting documentary film." Featuring brand-new stories by: Christopher M. Stephen, Sin Soracco, Scott Gutches, Eric Boyd, Ali F. Sareini, Stephen Geez, B.M. Dolarman, Zeke Caligiuri, Marco Verdoni, Kenneth R. Brydon, Linda Michelle Marquardt, Andre White, Timothy Pauley, Bryan K. Palmer, and William Van Poyck.

Art and Objects (eBook, ePUB)

In this book, the founder of object-oriented ontology develops his view that aesthetics is the central discipline of philosophy. Whereas science must attempt to grasp an object in terms of its observable qualities, philosophy and art cannot proceed in this way because they don't have direct access to their objects. Hence philosophy shares the same fate as art in being compelled to communicate indirectly, allusively, or elliptically, rather than in the clear propositional terms that are often taken - wrongly - to be the sole stuff of genuine philosophy. Conceiving of philosophy and art in this way allows us to reread key debates in aesthetic theory and to view art history in a different way. The formalist criticism of Greenberg and Fried is rejected for its refusal to embrace the innate theatricality and deep multiplicity of every artwork. This has consequences for art criticism, making pictorial content more important than formalism thinks but less entwined with the social sphere than anti-formalism holds. It has consequences for art history too, as the surrealists, David, and Poussin, among others, gain in importance. The close link between aesthetics and ontology also invites a new periodization of modern philosophy as a whole, and the habitual turn away from Kant's thing-in-itself towards an increase in philosophical "immanence" is shown to be a false dawn. This major work will be of great interest to students and scholars of philosophy, aesthetics, art history and cultural theory.

Slavische Erzähltheorie

The eight contributions to this collection, written by members of the â??Narratology? research group in Hamburg and by external experts, contain the basic categories of Russian and Czech narratology. These became significant for the development of international narratology or for the further development potential of the theory. The studied concepts include â??fableâ?? and â??subjectâ??, â??subject developmentâ??, â??eventâ?? and â??fictional worldsâ??. The comparative studies explore and discuss Russian composition theory, the author theories of Slavic functionalism, formalistic film and theater concepts and narrative semantics in the conception of Prague structuralism. The spectrum of the discussed theorists includes the Russian formalist Viktor Shklovsky and the formalism-leaning theorist Michail Petrovsky, the Czech structuralist Jan Muka?ovskÃ½, Felix Vodi?ka and LubomÃr DoleÅ¾el as well as Yuri Lotman, the central figure of the Moscow-Tartu school.Der Sammelband beleuchtet in acht Beiträgen, die von Mitgliedern der Hamburger Forschergruppe Narratologie und von externen Experten verfasst worden sind, Grundkategorien der russischen und tschechischen Erzähltheorie, die für die Entwicklung der internationalen Narratologie bedeutsam wurden oder Potential für die weitere Theorieentwicklung enthalten. Zu den untersuchten Konzepten gehören "Fabel" und "Sujet", die "Sujetentfaltung", das "Ereignis" und die "fiktiven Welten". In vergleichenden Studien werden die russische Kompositionstheorie, die Autortheorien des slavischen Funktionalismus, formalistische Film- und Theaterkonzepte und die narrative Semantik in der Konzeption des Prager Strukturalismus behandelt. Der Bogen der besprochenen Theoretiker reicht vom russischen Formalisten Viktor Sklovskij und dem formalismusnahen Kompositionstheoretiker Michail Petrovskij über die tschechischen Strukturalisten Jan Mukarovský, Felix Vodicka und Lubomír Dolezel bis zur Zentralfigur der Moskau-Tartu-Schule Jurij Lotman.
