Collage and Literature analyzes how and why the history of literature and art changed irrevocably beginning in the early years of the twentieth century, and what that change has meant for late modernism and postmodernism. Starting from Pablo Picasso's 1912 gesture, breaking the fundamental logic of representation, of pasting a piece of oilcloth onto a canvas, and moving up to Kenneth Goldsmith's 2015 reading of an autopsy report of an unarmed young black man shot by police (which he framed as a poem entitled Michael Brown's Body) this volume moves through a series of case studies encapsulating issues of juxtaposition and framing, the central ways identify collage. Its thesis is that collage-and, in fact, only collage-meaningfully overcomes formal and generic boundaries between the literary and the non-literary. The overwriting of these traditional boundaries happens in the service of collage's anti-narrative drive, a drive that may be, in turn, interruptive or destructive. The expansion of collage's horizons- broadly, to include the use of radical juxtaposition in the arts-reveals a surprisingly wide range of American artists and writers using the logic of juxtaposition as they imagine new worlds, disrupt accepted narratives about society and art, and create meaning through form as much as through paraphrasable content. In addressing a wide range of contested issues, recent artists realize the shocking force of collage. By recovering this shock, Collage and Literature restores collage to its multimedia origins in order to reveal its powerful and political affects

Filmed commercials are part of the culture of remembrance and of corporate and film history. When did this form of advertising begin? Who were the first sponsors and were advertising films made differently at that time than now? The monograph addresses these questions using the example of Austria. Starting from the early period of cinematography, it researches the development and establishment of the genre of the commercial in Austria until 1938. Mit der Erfindung des Films gegen Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts etablierte sich ein neues Werbemittel, das maßgeblich zur Visualisierung und Ästhetisierung der Warenwelt beitragen sollte. Ausgehend von der Frühzeit der Kinematographie wird in dieser Arbeit erstmals die Entwicklung und Etablierung des Genres Werbefilm in Österreich bis zum Jahr 1938 erforscht.Zu Beginn werden ökonomische und technische Prozesse skizziert, welche die Entstehung und Entfaltung der Wirtschaftswerbung nicht nur ermöglichten, sondern letztlich auch erforderlich machten. Im Weiteren wird die Verwissenschaftlichung und Institutionalisierung der österreichischen Reklamewirtschaft erläutert.Parallel zu den ökonomischen Entwicklungsschüben, etablierte sich mit dem Film ein neues Unterhaltungs- und Werbemedium, dessen Verbreitung, Akzeptanz sowie ästhetische und technische Entfaltung zu skizzieren waren. Beziehungsgeflechte und Interessenskonflikte zwischen Politik, Werbefilmproduzenten, Auftraggebern und Kinobesitzern werden dargelegt und geben Aufschluss über Produktionsbedingungen, soziale und gesellschaftliche Entwicklungen, Strategien der Ökonomisierung, Ausrichtung der Filme sowie über vielfältige Aufführungskontexte.Die Arbeit verbindet historische Grundlagenforschung mit kulturwissenschaftlichen Forschungszugängen.

"In The Flesh of Images, Mauro Carbone analyzed Merleau-Ponty's interest in film as it relates to his aesthetic theory. Philosophy-Screens broadens the work undertaken in this earlier book, looking at the ideas of other twentieth-century thinkers concerning the relationship between philosophy and film, and also extending that analysis to address the wider proliferation of screens in the twenty-first century. In the first part of the book, Carbone examines the ways that Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, Lyotard, and Deleuze grappled with the philosophical significance of cinema as a novel aesthetic medium unfolding in the twentieth century. He then considers the significance of this philosophical framework for understanding the digital revolution, in particular the extent to we are increasingly and comprehensively connected with screens. Smart phones, tablets, and computers have become a primary referential optical apparatus for everyday life in ways that influence the experience not only of seeing but also of thinking and desiring. Carbone's Philosophy-Screens follows Deleuze's call for "a philosophy-cinema" that can account for these fundamental changes in perception and aesthetic production, and adapts it to twenty-first century concerns"--

Phenomenology and the Late Twentieth-Century American Long Poem reads major figures including Charles Olson, Lyn Hejinian, Nathaniel Mackey, Susan Howe and Rachel Blau DuPlessis within a new approach to the long poem tradition. Through a series of contextualised close readings, it explores the ways in which American poets developed their poetic forms by engaging with a variety of European phenomenologists, including Hannah Arendt, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Martin Heidegger, Emmanuel Levinas and Jacques Derrida. Consolidating recent materials on the role of Continental Philosophy in American poetics, this book explores the theoretical and historical contexts in which avant-garde poets have developed radically new methods of making poems long. Matthew Carbery offers a timely commentary on a number of major works of American poetry whilst providing ground-breaking research into the wider philosophical context of late twentieth-century poetic experimentation.

This is a book about what becomes of the truth when it succumbs to generational memory loss and to the fictions that intervene to cause and fill the gaps. It is a book about the impossibility of writing an autobiography when there is a prepossessing cultural and familial 'we' interfering with the 'I' and an 'I' that does not know itself as a self, except metastatically — as people and characters it has played but not actually been. A highly original combination of close readings and performative autobiography, this book takes performance philosophy to an alternative next step, by having its ideas read back to it by experience, and through assorted fictions. It is a philosophical thought experiment in uncertainty whose literary, theatrical, and cinematic trappings illustrate and finally become what this uncertainty is, the thought experiment having become the life that was, that came before, and that outlives the 'I am'.
