Abstract

Modes of address are forms of signification that we direct at living beings, things, and places, and they at us and at each other. Seeing is a form of address. So are speaking, singing, and painting. Initiating or responding to such calls, we participate in encounters with the world. Widely used yet less often examined in its own right, the notion of address cries out for analysis.Monique Roelofs offers a pathbreaking systematic model of the field of address and puts it to work in the arts, critical theory, and social life. She shows how address props up finely hewn modalities of relationality, agency, and normativity. Address exceeds a one-on-one pairing of cultural productions with their audiences. As ardently energizing tiny slippages and snippets as fueling larger impulses in the society, it activates and reaestheticizes registers of race, gender, class, coloniality, and cosmopolitanism. In readings of writers and artists ranging from Julio Cortázar to Jamaica Kincaid and from Martha Rosler to Pope.L, Roelofs demonstrates the centrality of address to freedom and a critical political aesthetics. Under the banner of a unified concept of address, Hume, Kant, and Foucault strike up conversations with Benjamin, Barthes, Althusser, Fanon, Anzaldúa, and Butler. Drawing on a wide array of artistic and theoretical sources and challenging disciplinary boundaries, the book illuminates address's significance to cultural existence and to our reflexive aesthetic engagement in it. Keeping the reader on the lookout for flash fiction that pops up out of nowhere and for insurgent whisperings that take to the air, Arts of Address explores the aliveness of being alive.

Abstract

University professor Artur Závodský (1912-1972) was a famous personality of Czech theatrology and literary studies of the second half of the 20th century. He wrote monographs devoted to the Moravian writers (Gabriela Preissová, Petr Bezruč, Vojtěch Martínek), analytic studies, and critical reviews connected mostly to Brno theatre performances. In 1963, he re-established the Department of theatrology and film studies at the Faculty of the Arts of the Brno University. In our collection on the honour of prof. Závodský's 100th anniversary, 59 important personalities of the cultural and scientific life (mostly the professors of the Masaryk University, the pedagogues of the Janáček Academy, actors, and directors) reported the stimulating nature of Artur Závodský's work and remembered him as his former students, co-workers, and friends.

Abstract

Esta investigación de Gérald Hirschhorn es parte de su tesis de doctorado sustentada en la Universidad de Lyon (Francia). La presentación consta de varios temas que abarcan la cultura peruana entre los años 1954-1965, época en que Sebastián Salazar Bondy, a su regreso de Buenos Aires (Argentina), destaca en el medio. El mérito del autor reside en estudiar de manera sistemática los diferentes escenarios de la cultura limeña, destacando el rol clave de Sebastián Salazar Bondy como verdadero eslabón cultural. Al mismo tiempo se presentan, por primera vez, unos anexos donde aparece el repertorio exhaustivo de las producciones del autor de «Lima la horrible»: artículos periodísticos, ensayos, poemas, dramas, comedias, novelas y cuentos, sin olvidar sus obras inéditas. La lectura de la obra es básica no sólo para quien se interesa en la cultura de los años cincuenta, sino también para los investigadores que quieran seguir el camino abierto por el autor.

Abstract

Album provides an unparalleled look into Roland Barthes's life of letters. It presents a selection of correspondence, from his adolescence in the 1930s through the height of his career and up to the last years of his life, covering such topics as friendships, intellectual adventures, politics, and aesthetics. It offers an intimate look at Barthes's thought processes and the everyday reflection behind the composition of his works, as well as a rich archive of epistolary friendships, spanning half a century, among the leading intellectuals of the day.Barthes was one of the great observers of language and culture, and Album shows him in his element, immersed in heady French intellectual culture and the daily struggles to maintain a writing life. Barthes's correspondents include Maurice Blanchot, Michel Butor, Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault, Julia Kristeva, Claude Lévi-Strauss, Georges Perec, Raymond Queneau, Alain Robbe-Grillet, Marthe Robert, and Jean Starobinski, among others. The book also features documents, letters, and postcards reproduced in facsimile; unpublished material; and notes and transcripts from his seminars. The first English-language publication of Barthes's letters, Album is a comprehensive testimony to one of the most influential critics and philosophers of the twentieth century and the world of letters in which he lived and breathed.

Abstract

With Mathilde Blind: Late-Victorian Culture and the Woman of Letters, James Diedrick offers a groundbreaking critical biography of the German-born British poet Mathilde Blind (1841–1896), a freethinking radical feminist.Born to politically radical parents, Blind had, by the time she was thirty, become a pioneering female aesthete in a mostly male community of writers, painters, and critics, including Algernon Charles Swinburne, William Morris, Ford Madox Brown, William Michael Rossetti, and Richard Garnett. By the 1880s she had become widely recognized for a body of writing that engaged contemporary issues such as the Woman Question, the forced eviction of Scottish tenant farmers in the Highland Clearances, and Darwin’s evolutionary theory. She subsequently emerged as a prominent voice and leader among New Woman writers at the end of the century, including Mona Caird, Rosamund Marriott Watson, and Katharine Tynan. She also developed important associations with leading male decadent writers of the fin de siècle, most notably, Oscar Wilde and Arthur Symons.Despite her extensive contributions to Victorian debates on aesthetics, religion, nationhood, imperialism, gender, and sexuality, however, Blind has yet to receive the prominence she deserves in studies of the period. As the first full-length biography of this trailblazing woman of letters, Mathilde Blind underscores the importance of her poetry and her critical writings (her work on Shelley, biographies of George Eliot and Madame Roland, and her translations of Strauss and Bashkirtseff) for the literature and culture of the fin de siècle.--
