Sounding the Break
Author: Jason Frydman
Publisher: University of Virginia Press
ISBN: 0813935741
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
The idea of "world literature" has served as a crucial though underappreciated interlocutor for African diasporic writers, informing their involvement in processes of circulation, translation, and revision that have been identified as the hallmarks of the contemporary era of world literature. Yet in spite of their participation in world systems before and after European hegemony, Africa and the African diaspora have been excluded from the networks and archives of world literature. In Sounding the Break, Jason Frydman attempts to redress this exclusion by drawing on historiography, ethnography, and archival sources to show how writers such as W. E. B. Du Bois, Zora Neale Hurston, Alejo Carpentier, Derek Walcott, Maryse Condé, and Toni Morrison have complicated both Eurocentric and Afrocentric categories of literary and cultural production. Through their engagement with and revision of the European world literature discourse, he contends, these writers conjure a deep history of "literary traffic" whose expressions are always already cosmopolitan, embedded in the long histories of cultural and economic exchange between Africa, Asia, and Europe. It is precisely the New World American location of these writers, Frydman concludes, that makes possible this revisionary perspective on the idea of (Old) World literature.

In The Break
Author: Fred Moten
Publisher: U of Minnesota Press
ISBN: 1452906084
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
Investigates the connections between jazz, sexual identity, and radical black politics In his controversial essay on white jazz musician Burton Greene, Amiri Baraka asserted that jazz was exclusively an African American art form and explicitly fused the idea of a black aesthetic with radical political traditions of the African diaspora. In the Break is an extended riff on “The Burton Greene Affair,” exploring the tangled relationship between black avant-garde in music and literature in the 1950s and 1960s, the emergence of a distinct form of black cultural nationalism, and the complex engagement with and disavowal of homoeroticism that bridges the two. Fred Moten focuses in particular on the brilliant improvisatory jazz of John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, Albert Ayler, Eric Dolphy, Charles Mingus, and others, arguing that all black performance—culture, politics, sexuality, identity, and blackness itself—is improvisation. For Moten, improvisation provides a unique epistemological standpoint from which to investigate the provocative connections between black aesthetics and Western philosophy. He engages in a strenuous critical analysis of Western philosophy (Heidegger, Kant, Husserl, Wittgenstein, and Derrida) through the prism of radical black thought and culture. As the critical, lyrical, and disruptive performance of the human, Moten’s concept of blackness also brings such figures as Frederick Douglass and Karl Marx, Cecil Taylor and Samuel R. Delany, Billie Holiday and William Shakespeare into conversation with each other. Stylistically brilliant and challenging, much like the music he writes about, Moten’s wide-ranging discussion embraces a variety of disciplines—semiotics, deconstruction, genre theory, social history, and psychoanalysis—to understand the politicized sexuality, particularly homoeroticism, underpinning black radicalism. In the Break is the inaugural volume in Moten’s ambitious intellectual project-to establish an aesthetic genealogy of the black radical tradition

Why Things Break
Author: Mark Eberhart
Publisher: Crown
ISBN: 0307422690
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
Did you know— • It took more than an iceberg to sink the Titanic. • The Challenger disaster was predicted. • Unbreakable glass dinnerware had its origin in railroad lanterns. • A football team cannot lose momentum. • Mercury thermometers are prohibited on airplanes for a crucial reason. • Kryptonite bicycle locks are easily broken. “Things fall apart” is more than a poetic insight—it is a fundamental property of the physical world. Why Things Break explores the fascinating question of what holds things together (for a while), what breaks them apart, and why the answers have a direct bearing on our everyday lives. When Mark Eberhart was growing up in the 1960s, he learned that splitting an atom leads to a terrible explosion—which prompted him to worry that when he cut into a stick of butter, he would inadvertently unleash a nuclear cataclysm. Years later, as a chemistry professor, he remembered this childhood fear when he began to ponder the fact that we know more about how to split an atom than we do about how a pane of glass breaks. In Why Things Break, Eberhart leads us on a remarkable and entertaining exploration of all the cracks, clefts, fissures, and faults examined in the field of materials science and the many astonishing discoveries that have been made about everything from the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger to the crashing of your hard drive. Understanding why things break is crucial to modern life on every level, from personal safety to macroeconomics, but as Eberhart reveals here, it is also an area of cutting-edge science that is as provocative as it is illuminating.

The War on Your Voice
Author: Jenn Stockman
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781728664941
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
Your voice is the uninhibited sound of who and Whose you are. You belong to the Father. Creation is yearning on tiptoe for the sound of sons and daughters to erupt on the earth (Romans 8:19). In The War on Your Voice, Jenn Stockman addresses how shame, fear, abuse and so much more act as lids to silence your voice. *Break through every lid from a deep intimacy with the Father. *Discover the inexhaustible beauty of Jesus and all He won in the only story where your voice has the leading role, your story. "Hiding in the pages of The War On Your Voice is a personal tour guide. Be prepared to find riches and glory beyond your wildest imagination that God is so thrilled to give you as you follow the guidance of a masterful writer." Danny Silk/ Senior Leader Teams, Bethel Redding & Jesus Culture Sacramento "I was moved to tears not just by Jenn's writing but by the Weighty Presence that accompanies her words. The War On Your Voice is not just another book on freedom, it is an impartation." Wendy Backlund/ Author of Victorious Emotions "The War On Your Voice is a must read for anyone desiring to personally experience the exhilaration of a life fully lived!" Leif Hetland/ President of Global Missions Awareness Jenn Stockman lives near Atlanta, Georgia with her husband Justin and their four daughters Kylie, Ava, Arabelle and Liberty. She teaches regularly at Bethel Atlanta and is on staff as the First Year Director of Bethel Atlanta School of Supernatural Ministry. INTRODUCTION I wrote this book out on my back porch during the early summer mornings. It was one of the most spiritual experiences of my life. I laughed. I cried. I shook. I felt undone and intoxicated by the nearness of Jesus as I typed and typed. I told the whole story like a drunk person who's lost every sense of self-awareness and self-restraint. I held nothing back, without a care. I read this great quote in the process, "To gain your own voice, you have to forget about having it heard." I forgot about having it heard and wrote for Him and in Him. I fell in love with the process. The writing became my most intimate worship. I wrote for Him and now I give it to you. I believe in your voice. Not just the ability to speak words from your mouth, but the sound of who and Whose you are through the whole of your story. I see an army of sons and daughters arising in their authority and bending down low enough in their humility to whisper in the ear of a hurting generation about a relentless, eternal Hope. Jesus loves to live with dirt on His knees and who can resist wanting to be with Him where He is. Humility is telling the real story - nothing more, nothing less. Shame is terrified that we would live loud the beauty of Christ within us without restraint, naked and unashamed. Every morning when you wake up, your enemy is tormented by the sound of who you are. He's in the corner holding his breath with anxiety, knowing today could be the day you live the truth of Whom you belong to. I pray your life gives him a panic attack as you open wide the door to feast with King Jesus, having nothing to hide through the whole of your story. With all my love, Jenn
