The Dirty South
Author: James A. Crank
Publisher: LSU Press
ISBN: 0807180793
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 263
Book Description
The Dirty South examines the shifting significances of the South as a constructed, fantasized region in the American psyche, particularly its frequent association with tropes of dirt that emphasize soil, garbage, trash, grit, litter, mud, swamp water, slime, and pollution. Beginning with iconic works from the 1970s such as Deliverance and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, James A. Crank traces the image of a “dirty” South into the twenty-first century to explore the social, political, and psychological effects of the region’s hold on the imaginations of southerners and nonsoutherners alike. With a focus on media forms through which southern identity gets articulated and questioned—including horror movies, Swamp Thing comics, and popular music by artists such as Waylon Jennings and OutKast—The Dirty South probes the sustained fascination with southern dirtiness while reflecting on its causes and consequences since the end of the civil rights era. Highlighting the period from 1970 to 2020, during which the South began to represent several new possible identities for the nation as a whole and for the area itself, Crank considers the ways that southerners have used depictions of dirt to create and police boundaries and to contest those boundaries. Each chapter pairs prominent literary or cultural texts from the 1970s with more contemporary works, such as Jordan Peele’s film Get Out, which recycle similar investments or, critically, challenge the inherent whiteness of the earlier images. By historicizing fantasies of the region and connecting them to the first decades of the twenty-first century, The Dirty South reveals that notions about southern dirtiness proliferate not because they lend authenticity or relevancy to the U.S. South, but because they aid so conspicuously in the zombified work of tethering investors (real and imagined) to a graveyard of ideas.

Revenge Tragedies of the Renaissance
Author: Janet Clare
Publisher: Liverpool University Press
ISBN:
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
In this study of revenge tragedies - notably by Thomas Kyd, William Shakespeare, Thomas Middleton, John Marston and John Webster - Janet Clare suggests that genres are not passively inherited, but made and re-made every time a new play is performed. The implication that there is an identifiable genre of revenge tragedy rehearsing common conventions is challenged as Clare examines Renaissance plays of revenge on their own terms. While disclosing evident inter-textual links and a similar appeal to classical material, revenge plays of the late Elizabethan and Jacobean period strive for a range of effects including satire, parody and farce. Some plays embody a providential outlook while others seem defiantly secular. Francis Bacon's famous maxim 'a kind of wild justice' captures the moral ambivalence of revenge: a rough justice on the point of anarchy. Janet Clare demonstrates the problematic nature of revenge as it defines dramatic action As the exploration of plays in this study reveals, revenge is not only bound up with justice, honour and duty, but impelled by perverted impulses, envy and resentment.

Somitra

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
“Mortality provides the certainty of the grave. Being privy to that knowledge has brought our species a measure of solace; there’s an end to our sorrows. Amortality takes away that certainty, creating its own peculiar anxiety.” Death taunts us as we age. Despite our efforts, we inevitably grow frail until we draw our last breath. Imagine a drug that parries death’s taunt by giving us amortality—life without death—and reversal of the aging process. Should we embrace this elixir or reject it as being contrary to the laws of God? A large pharmaceutical company discovers SOMITRA, a drug giving mice amortality. Elijah-Co keeps the discovery under wraps as it feverishly tries to duplicate its effects on human subjects. When word is leaked to the public, a culture war breaks out between religious fundamentalists and Grizzleds, senior citizens who want the right to choose amortality for themselves. SOMITRA picks up where the first book, ELIJAH-CO, left off. Dr. Lars Sorenson returns, facing the consequences of his desperate attempt to save his beloved wife, Kate. The reader is taken into the lives of clandestine drug developers, religious zealots, mercenaries, and an aging population who want to experience eternal life on Earth.

Revenge, Agency, and Identity from European Drama to Asian Film
Author: Eric Dodson-Robinson
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004401288
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
Eric Dodson-Robinson’s Revenge, Agency, and Identity from European Drama to Asian Film challenges critical readings of drama, film, and literature that downplay agency. From Attic tragedy, through Seneca and Shakespeare, and into Japanese and Korean film, the book pursues the agent of vengeance in her fury to reconstruct an identity shattered by trauma. Tragic revenge is an imaginary theater only partly encompassed by disciplines, institutions, and discourses. In this theater, violence becomes contagious and potentially transformative as performance gives birth to the agent of vengeance: a complex, emergent agent who is more than the sum of the actors, auteur, tradition, and audience, all of whom infiltrate, and strive to control, her will. The agent of vengeance, determined to outdo past exemplars, exacts traumatic excess, not equivalence.
