Book Description
In his debut collection, Some Trees (1956), the American poet John Ashbery poses a question that resonates across his oeuvre and much of modern art: 'How could he explain to them his prayer / that nature, not art, might usurp the canvas?' When Ashbery asks this strange question, he joins a host of transatlantic avant-gardists--from the Dadaists to the 1960s neo-avant-gardists and beyond--who have dreamed of turning art into nature, of creating art that would be 'valid solely on its own terms, in the way nature itself is valid, in the way a landscape--not its picture--is aesthetically valid' (Clement Greenberg, 1939). Invisible Terrain reads Ashbery as a bold intermediary between avant-garde anti-mimeticism and the long western nature poetic tradition. In chronicling Ashbery's articulation of 'a completely new kind of realism' and his engagement with figures ranging from Wordsworth to Warhol, the book presents a broader case study of nature's dramatic transformation into a resolutely unnatural aesthetic resource in 20th-century art and literature. The story begins in the late 1940s with the Abstract Expressionist valorization of process, surface, and immediacy--summed up by Jackson Pollock's famous quip, 'I am Nature'--that so influenced the early New York School poets. It ends with 'Breezeway,' a poem about Hurricane Sandy. Along the way, the project documents Ashbery's strategies for literalizing the 'stream of consciousness' metaphor, his negotiation of pastoral and politics during the Vietnam War, and his investment in 'bad' nature poetry.

The American Landscape in the Poetry of Frost, Bishop, and Ashbery
Author: M. MacArthur
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 0230614116
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 261
Book Description
Robert Frost, Elizabeth Bishop, and John Ashbery stand out among major American poets - all three shaped the direction and pushed the boundaries of contemporary poetry on an international scale. Drawing on biography, cultural history, and original archival research, MacArthur shows us that these distinctive poets share one surprisingly central trope in their oeuvres: the Romantic scene of the abandoned house. This book scrutinizes the popular notion of Frost as a deeply rooted New Englander, demonstrates that Frost had an underestimated influence on Bishop - whose preoccupation with houses and dwelling is the obverse of her obsession with travel - and questions dominant, anti-biographical readings of Ashbery as an urban-identified poet. As she reads poems that evoke particular landscapes and houses lost and abandoned by these poets, MacArthur also sketches relevant cultural trends, including patterns of rural de-settlement, the transformation of rural economies from agriculture to tourism, and modern American s increasing mobility and rootlessness.

Book Description
The latest inventions in computer technology influence most of human daily activities. In the near future, there is tendency that all of aspect of human life will be dependent on computer applications. In manufacturing, robotics and automation have become vital for high quality products. In education, the model of teaching and learning is focusing more on electronic media than traditional ones. Issues related to energy savings and environment is becoming critical. Computational Science should enhance the quality of human life, not only solve their problems. Computational Science should help humans to make wise decisions by presenting choices and their possible consequences. Computational Science should help us make sense of observations, understand natural language, plan and reason with extensive background knowledge. Intelligence with wisdom is perhaps an ultimate goal for human-oriented science. This book is a compilation of some recent research findings in computer application and computational science. This book provides state-of-the-art accounts in Computer Control and Robotics, Computers in Education and Learning Technologies, Computer Networks and Data Communications, Data Mining and Data Engineering, Energy and Power Systems, Intelligent Systems and Autonomous Agents, Internet and Web Systems, Scientific Computing and Modeling, Signal, Image and Multimedia Processing, and Software Engineering.

Book Description
Secret Knowledge: The Physics of the Law of Attraction Secret Knowledge: What is this? Nike is a Digital Download EBook. It is not only a compilation of arcane occult secrets, it goes beyond the general techniques and describes the underlying scientific core. There are certain concepts in all branches of the occult, namely -Wicca, Sorcery, Hermeticism or Magic- that share the same basis. Eventually, it always relates to the change of an individual’s perception. Nike gives you detailed insights and instructions on occult secret knowledge. By means of bridging towards universal topics like quantum resonance or energetic vibration, Nike makes the connection from the occult towards academic science. Eventually, Nike delivers you the very basics of any occult teaching in a scientific way. The product is split into two parts, part one “Reality Creation” is about how reality gets created, maintained or changed. Here we’re going pretty deep into consciousness itself, your perceptive feedback look and your energetic vibration. Reality Creation lays the foundation that makes you later on understand how part two, Infinity Navigation (closely related to the “the law of attraction”), actually works. We’re going into how intentions operate, how words, thoughts and actions shape your reality and how YOU can influence the outcome of future events solely with your mind. Infinity Navigation is all about a practical insight into the law of attraction, e.g. understanding when to put focus on something, reading the signals of your feedback loop, comprehending when to take action and generally getting in synchronization with your higher self. It will massively support you in achieving your goals and getting what you want. Later on we go deeper into physics and explain the impact of quantum mechanics on the occult: Quantum Entanglement: Inner/Outer-World synchronization effects and their impact on reality, sounds and scents. Learn how to effectively employ the skill of psychokinesis. Wave-Particle Duality: How to make use of perceptive techniques like focus, ignorance, attachment and detachment to change your fractal position. Master this and you will later on be able to gain the ability of telepathy. Manifest through controlled Wave collapse: Choose your desired future by means of perceptive selection. Macroscopic Super-positioning: Comprehend how the invisible hand of group consciousness shapes reality’s larger events. Nike will introduce you to the concept of the Occult Terrain, a simplified version of the Higher Astral Planes. The Occult Terrain is effectively a fine level string field that feeds on mental input: This grand-unified approach towards the occult gives a lot of advantages when it comes to comprehending and applying secret knowledge: A standardized Model to Remote Viewing Self-similarity towards Telepathy Symmetry with Psychokinesis Eased physics of the Law of Attraction (Push/Pull and Sender/Receiver) Simplified access towards Astral Projection Nike covers with Reality Creation and Infinity Navigation the basic fundamentals of occultsecret knowledge. This EBook goes already pretty deep and gives you access to material that had in the past been reserved for high-level Illuminati and ascended masters. Yet, there is even more. If you are interested in the exact and pinpointed scientific mechanics (Uncertainty Relation, Wave Function, Imaginary Unit, Euler’s Identity, etc.) make sure to check out Perception and NATVRA that cover these in full. Table of Contents I. Reality Creation A scientific overview on how reality is created: The basics to the Law of Attraction Wave Particle Duality: Open and closed systems, approximative telepathy Wave Collapse: Certainty and probability on events Occult Space: Standardized model that gives mayor occult concepts a unified base II. Infinity Navigation A scientific overview and instructions on the occult: The usage of the Law of Attraction Quantum Entanglement: Inner/outer world relation, synchronization & psychokinesis Super-Positioning: The invisible hand of group consciousness Imperative & Declarative Polarity: Remote viewing and astral projection

Descending with angels
Author: Christian Suhr
Publisher: Manchester University Press
ISBN: 1526140330
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 271
Book Description
Over several years, Christian Suhr followed Muslim patients being treated for jinn possession and psychosis in a Danish mosque and in a psychiatric hospital. Through rich filmic and textual case studies, he shows how the bodies and souls of Muslim patients become a battlefield between the moral demands of Islam and the psychiatric institutions of European nation-states. The book reveals how both psychiatric and Islamic healing work to produce relief from pain, and also entail an ethical transformation of the patient and the cultivation of religious and secular values through the experience of pain. Creatively exploring the analytic possibilities provided by the use of a camera, both text and film show how disruptive ritual techniques are used in healing to destabilise individual perceptions and experiences of agency, which allows patients to submit to the invisible powers of psychotropic medicine or God.

"A Serpentine Gesture"
Author: Elisabeth W. Joyce
Publisher: University of New Mexico Press
ISBN: 0826363822
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
In “A Serpentine Gesture”: John Ashbery’s Poetry and Phenomenology Elisabeth W. Joyce examines John Ashbery’s poetry through the lens of Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s conception of phenomenology. For Merleau-Ponty, perception is a process through which people reach outside of themselves for sensory information, map that experiential information against what they have previously encountered and what is culturally inculcated in them, and articulate shifts in their internal repositories through encounters with new material. Joyce argues that this process reflects Ashbery’s classic statement of poetry being the “experience of experience.” Through incisive close readings of Ashbery’s poems, Joyce examines how he explores this process of continual reverberation between what is sensed and what is considered about that sensation and, ultimately, how he renders these perceptions into the “serpentine gesture” of language.
