Sellami S: Hyperbolic Realism

Hyperbolic Realism

A Wild Reading of Pynchon's and Bolaño's Late Maximalist Fiction

A new compass for global reading: looking at the world from the far southern latitudes A northern viewpoint is most often the default, while the south—the far southern latitudes occupied by Australia, New Zealand, Argentina and southern Africa, among others—seems far away and ignorable. In Southern Imagining, Elleke Boehmer offers an alternative perspective, using literary, scientific and cultural material to explore how we look at the world from the south. Reading, she argues, is a transformative means of reversing our usual planetary perspective and rearranging our perceptual geography. Boehmer examines writing from across southern continents and islands, considering how we imaginatively inhabit the farthest reaches of our planet. Writers ranging from the Portuguese epic poet Luís de Camöes to Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Charles Darwin, Katherine Mansfield, Jorge Luis Borges and ancient Indigenous scribes, Boehmer finds, capture the edgy and austere experiences of the far south. Boehmer argues that imaginative work stimulates and shapes our phenomenological understanding. Southerners often see themselves as if far away from where things count, as outsiders, internalising the wider global sense of their relative insignificance. Conversely, when northerners read or hear legends, narratives, songs and poems from the south, it is as if they are located in the south, at least for the duration of the reading or listening. Boehmer suggests that the south-tilted world map, re-centred through song and story, invites us to claim a more involved sense of belonging to our planet, both its north and its south. The writers of the south disrupt conventional ways of seeing and invite us to inhabit our globe differently.

Object Lessons

Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things.

Our ability to make a fist is what distinguishes humans from every other species, including primates. The fist played a crucial role in the birth of language and appears in nearly every form of nonverbal communication, particularly haptics and kinesiology. We use our fist to protest oppression, give pleasure, knock on doors, give daps, and (inaccurately) measure our hearts-yet we see them as a sign of someone on the edge. 

This book asks what happens when we lean over the edge of what a fist can do and symbolize. Fist uses historical moments and artifacts, primary interviews, and personal narratives to explore the fist's polysemous and divisive nature. Fist examines knuckle tattoos, the Black Power salute, Obama's fist bumps, the Fig, and fisting, the last sexual taboo. Fist uncovers what flexing our knuckles says, not just about us, but the world in which we live.

Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.

Alle drei Bände der von Jörg Jochen Berns herausgegebenen Edition Von Strittigkeit der Bilder. Texte des deutschen Bildstreits im 16. Jahrhundert sind als preisreduziertes Set zu erwerben. Die Bände geben verlässlich Einblick in eine deutschsprachige, theologisch grundierte Mediendebatte. Singulär ist die umfassende Zusammenstellung zum einen wegen ihres Umfangs von neunundneunzig historischen Texten auf mehr als zweitausendeinhundert Seiten, zum andern wegen der regionalen Vielfalt und konfessionellen Vielstimmigkeit dieser Zeugnisse: von Amling, Bucer, Buchstab, Bullinger bis hin zu Quad, Schwenckfeld, Zwingli. Nicht nur werden viele der Dokumente hier erstmals seit vier Jahrhunderten wieder ediert, sondern auch zum ersten Mal zusammengestellt und so miteinander konfrontiert, dass es möglich wird, Gemeinsamkeiten und Differenzen zu erkennen, Leitbegriffe zu verfolgen und argumentative Muster freizulegen. Die Texte werden durch Anmerkungen und umfängliche Nachworte kommentiert und durch umfangreiche Register erschlossen. Als Handwerkszeug bildwissenschaftlichen Forschens, insbesondere auf kunsthistorischem, kirchengeschichtlichem, volkskundlichem, psychologiehistorischem, mediengeschichtlichen oder germanistisch-linguistischem Terrain, ist die Sammlung unverzichtbar.
