Delightful' Film Juice

The Story of Spinal Tap

A Fine Line between Stupid and Clever

This fascinating short book probes the connection between language and reality in Kalabari society (Niger Delta, Nigeria). It is an assemblage of practices, ideas, philosophies, and interpretations of reality, whose tangled roots burrow deep into the soul of Kalabari culture. Wariboko focuses on sayings or words and plumbs them for their deep meanings, for the light they can shed on philosophical ideas or debates, and the revelations they offer on how the Kalabari people engage reality with their language. This book demonstrates that the Kalabari spirit is a way of being that is radically open to creativity and surprises, always at work resisting obstacles to human flourishing, and committed to creating, broadening, and deepening new possibilities of life. Through its analysis of Kalabari words, this book presents the Kalabari language as a way of life. The language is philosophy, and philosophy is language.

Essays On Language And Reality

The Soul Of Kalabari Culture

Nobel laureate and Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Beloved Toni Morrison investigates Black characters in the American literary canon and the way they shaped the nation’s collective unconscious. In a dazzling series of lectures from her tenure as a professor at Princeton University, Toni Morrison interrogates America’s most famous works and authors, drawing a direct line from the Black bodies that built the nation to the Black characters that many of the country’s canonical white writers imagined in their work. Morrison sees these fictions as a form of creation and projection, arguing that they helped manufacture American racial identity—these “Africanist” presences are “the shadow that makes light possible,” as Morrison writes, and the reflections of their authors’ own deepest fears, insecurities, and longings. With profound erudition and wit, Morrison breaks wide open the American conception of race with energetic, enlivening readings of the nation’s canon, revealing that our liberation from these diminishing notions comes through language. “How,” Morrison wonders, “could one speak of profit, of economy, of labor, or progress, of suffragism, or Christianity, of the frontier, of the formation of new states, the acquisition of new lands . . . of practically anything a new nation concerns itself with—without having as a referent, at the heart of the discourse or defining its edges, the presence of Africans and/or their descendants?” To read these lectures, collected here for the first time, is to encounter Morrison, not just the writer but also the teacher, in the most penetrating and subversive way yet. With a foreword by her son Ford Morrison and an introduction by her Princeton comparative literature colleague Claudia Brodsky, Language as Liberation is a revelatory collection that promises to redefine the American canon.

Reflections on the American Canon

Language as Liberation

Decades after his passing, Elvis Presley remains one of popular music's greatest icons. He was among the most successful, influential, socially significant, and controversial performers of the twentieth century, with a celebrity so indelible that every recent American president has negotiated its orbit. While much of the coverage of Elvis' life concerns his personal history and musical ability, Rethinking Elvis pushes beyond the familiar to address Elvis' branding, historical and geographic reception, heritage, and fan phenomenon. Using Elvis' iconography as a point of departure, popular music scholars and historians contend with issues related to the performer's whiteness, Southern identity, and gender, among others, in turn offering myriad opportunities to pursue new approaches in the emergent field of Elvis studies.

California Series in Hip Hop Studies

A profound meditation on hip hop's transformative power, In the Hour of Chaos takes us deep into the mind of the genre's most unabashed revolutionary. This book is not an autobiography. It's not a manifesto. It's a razor-sharp investigation into hip hop and rap music by searing lyricist and global music icon Chuck D of Public Enemy. Engaging with some of the world's leading thinkers on hip hop, "Professor Chuck" sets out on a journey that celebrates fifty years of hip hop and charts paths forward for its future. Exploring the intersections of hip hop with Black radicalism and feminism, media and technology, and globalization and politics, this curated collection shows the power of culture and the arts not only to bring people together but to bring about political change in this current hour of chaos. Features conversations with leading thinkers, including Robin D. G. Kelley, H. Samy Alim, Jeff Chang, Davey D, Scot Brown, Cheryl L. Keyes, Gaye Theresa Johnson, Bryonn Bain, Maya Jupiter, Adam Bradley, Joan Morgan, and more.

Gesellschaftskritische Literatur - Texte, Autoren und Debatten

Innerhalb des vorliegenden Werks werden 50 Literaturkritiken vorgestellt, die den Zusammenhang von Werk, Wirkung und Wissenschaft deutlich werden lassen. Dabei werden Prinzipien einer heute angemessenen Literaturkritik verdeutlicht: Literaturkritik sollte immer auch den eigenen Standpunkt überprüfen in dessen psychologischer, biographischer, gesellschaftlicher und kultureller Bedingtheit, und diesen, wenn und wo möglich, offenlegen. In diesem Sinne wirkt Literaturkritik politisch, d.h. gesellschaftskritisch, auch in der didaktisch sanktionierenden Funktion für Literaturproduzent:innen und -rezipient:innen. Die meisten Kritiken, sowohl in der Literaturgeschichte als auch heute, tendieren dazu, ihren Gegenstandsbereich zu überschreiten, und wirken auf diese Weise politisch-gesellschaftlich-kulturell.

This volume presents 50 literary critiques intended to clarify the connection between work, impact, and scholarship. The principles of contemporary literary criticism are clarified: Appropriate literary criticism should always examine its own standpoint in its psychological, biographical, social, and cultural context, and disclose it whenever and wherever possible. In this sense, literary criticism has a political, i.e., socially critical, effect, including its didactic, sanctioning function for literary producers and recipients. Most critiques, as is the case here, both in literary history and today, tend to transcend their subject matter and thus exert a political, social, and cultural impact.
