Wallace Stevens and the Seasons
Author: George S. Lensing
Publisher: LSU Press
ISBN: 9780807129722
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 412
Book Description
This fruitful pairing of literary and biographical interpretation follows Wallace Stevens’s poetry through the lens of its dominant metaphor—the seasons of nature—and illuminates the poet’s personal life experiences reflected there. From Stevens’s first collection, Harmonium (1923), to his last poems written shortly before his death in 1955, George S. Lensing offers clear and detailed examination of Stevens’s seasonal poetry, including extensive discussions of “Autumn Refrain,” “The Snow Man,” “The World as Meditation,” and “Credences of Summer.” Drawing upon a vast knowledge of the poet, Lensing argues that Stevens’s pastoral poetry of the seasons assuaged a profound and persistent personal loneliness. An important scholarly assessment of a major twentieth-century modernist, Wallace Stevens and the Seasons also serves as an appealing introduction to Stevens.

Mystery in its Passions: Literary Explorations
Author: Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9781402017056
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 402
Book Description
Through mystery, literature reveals to us the Great Unknown. While we are absorbed by the matters at hand with the present enactment of our life, groping for clues to handle them, it is through literature that we discover the hidden strings underlying their networks. Hence our fascination with literature. But there is more. The creative act of the human being, its proper focus, holds the key to the Sezam of life: to the great metaphysical/ontopoietic questions which literature may disclose. First, it leads us to the sublimal grounds of transformation in the human soul, source of the specifically human significance of life (Analecta Husserliana, Volume III, XIX, XXIII, XXVII) Second, it leads us to the unveiling of the hidden workings of life in the twilight of knowing in a dialectic between The Visible and the Invisible, (Volume LXXV, 2002, Analecta Husserliana) down to the ontopoietic truth. (Volume LXXVI, 2002, Analecta Husserliana) This prying into the unknown which provokes the human being as he or she attempts to conquer, step by step, a space of existence, finds its culmination in the phenomenon of mystery as the subject of the present collection. Its formulation brings us to the greatest question of all: the enigmatic solidarity -in-distinctiveness of human cognition and existence. Papers are written by: Tony E. Afejuku, Gary Backhaus, Paul G. Beidler, Matthew J. Duffy, Raffaela Giovagnoli, Jennifer Anna Gosetti-Ferencei, Matti Itkonen, Lawrence Kimmel, Catherine Malloy, Vladimir L. Marchenkov, Nancy Mardas, Howard Pearce, Bernadette Prochaska, Victor Gerald Rivas, M.J. Sahlani, Dennis Skocz, Jadwiga S. Smith, Mara Stafecka, Max Statkiewicz, Mariola Sulkowska, Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka, Leon U. Weinman, Tim Weiss.

Unrolled Stone - Abridged Edition
Author: L.T. Stallings
Publisher: BoD – Books on Demand
ISBN: 3739216999
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 166
Book Description
*A Fusion of Horizons* Unrolled Stone proposes to do nothing less than treat the Rolling Stones for the first time ever as a genuine cultural phenomenon worthy of what might be called ‘philosophical’ attention. The fundamental significance of this analysis acquires its incisive shape on the scaffolding of Heidegger’s Being and Time. Even though the focal point of the existential analytic employed focuses around the late Brian Jones, still the book is designed to situate the truth-claim of the Rolling Stones within the broader horizon of a universal radical uprootedness which constitutes the necessary point of departure for any serious reflection concerning the very meaning of existence in today’s belongingless historical epoch.

The Hum of the World
Author: Lawrence Kramer
Publisher: University of California Press
ISBN: 0520303490
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
The Hum of the World is an invitation to contemplate what would happen if we heard the world as attentively as we see it. Balancing big ideas with playful wit and lyrical prose, this imaginative volume identifies the role of sound in Western experience as the primary medium in which the presence and persistence of life acquire tangible form. The positive experience of aliveness is not merely in accord with sound, but inaccessible, even inconceivable, without it. Lawrence Kramer’s poetic book roves freely over music, media, language, philosophy, and science from the ancient world to the present, along the way revealing how life is apprehended through sounds ranging from pandemonium to the faint background hum of the world. Easily moving from reflections on pivotal texts and music to the introduction of elemental concepts, this warm meditation on auditory culture uncovers the knowledge and pleasure made available when we recognize that the world is alive with sound.

Notations Of The Wild
Author: Gyorgyi Voros
Publisher: University of Iowa Press
ISBN: 1587292459
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
Focusing on three governing metaphors in Stevens's poems--Nature as house, body, and self--the author argues that Stevens's youthful wilderness experience yielded his primary poetic subject (the relationship between humans and nature) and shifted his understanding of nature from romantic to phenomenological. She draws on the extraliterary discourses of phenomenology and ecology, mapping the landscape of Stevens's career and canon. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
