A Dreamers Tales Dunsany Lord

Eurasia Without Borders: The Dream of a Leftist Literary Commons, 1919-1943 Clark Katerina

A long-awaited corrective to the controversial idea of world literature, from a major voice in the field.Katerina Clark charts interwar efforts by Soviet, European, and Asian leftist writers to create a Eurasian commons: a single cultural space that would overcome national, cultural, and linguistic differences in the name of an anticapitalist, anti-imperialist, and later antifascist aesthetic. At the heart of this story stands the literary arm of the Communist International, or Comintern, anchored in Moscow but reaching Baku, Beijing, London, and parts in between. Its mission attracted diverse networks of writers who hailed from Turkey, Iran, India, and China, as well as the Soviet Union and Europe. Between 1919 and 1943, they sought to establish a new world literature to rival the capitalist republic of Western letters.Eurasia without Borders revises standard

Innocent Until Proven Muslim: Islamophobia, the War on Terror, and the Muslim Experience Since 9/11 Hilal Maha

On September 11, 2001, nineteen terrorists hijacked four airplanes and carried out attacks on the United States, killing more than three thousand Americans and sending the country reeling.Three days after the attacks, President George W. Bush declared, ""This is a day when all Americans from every walk of life unite in our resolve for justice and peace."" Yet in the days following, Bush declared a ""War on Terror,"" which would result in years of Muslims being targeted on the basis of collective punishment and scapegoating.  In 2009, President Barack Obama said, ""America must play its role in ushering in a new era of peace."" Instead, Obama perpetuated the War on Terror's infrastructure that Bush had put in place, rendering his words entirely empty.

Merleau-Ponty Carman Taylor

Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1908-61) was one of the most important philosophers of the twentieth century. His theories of perception and the role of the body have had an enormous impact on the humanities and social sciences, yet the full scope of his contribution not only to phenomenology but philosophy generally is only now being fully recognized. In this lucid and comprehensive introduction, Taylor Carman explains and assesses the full range of Merleau-Ponty's philosophy.Beginning with an overview of Merleau-Ponty's life and work, subsequent chapters cover fundamental aspects of Merleau-Ponty's thought, including his philosophy of perception and intentionality; the role of the body in perception; freedom and our relation to others; history and culture; and art, particularly the paintings of Czanne. A final chapter considers Merleau-Ponty's importance today, examining his

Shingle and Stone: Thomas Kligerman Houses Kligerman Thomas

Elegantly luxurious presentation of the residential work of Thomas Kligerman, an architect renowned for skillful integration of contemporary flair into traditional designs.As a full career monograph, the book will feature iconic Kligerman houses built over the past twenty years and current projects that demonstrate the evolution of his architectural thinking. This will be a 'deep dive' into the design process, illustrated by sketches and renderings as well as finished photography.An introduction by Architectural Digest design editor Mitchell Owens will provide an overview of the trajectory while Kligerman's own essay will focus on his interest in developing a truly American style that reflects both the Puebloan style of the Southwest and the shingle style that has prevailed in along the East Coast since the late nineteenth century.Kligerman designs only single-family houses, and his clients have beautiful sites in the Hamptons and throughout New England with a few on the West Coast and in Texas. He is deeply steeped in the history of European and American domestic architecture and wonders whether there is (or can be) an American house paradigm. He grew up in Connecticut and New Mexico so the two strands that he draws on most art the solid adobe forms of Puebloan style and the lighter, more open shingle style. He also considers West Coast architects like Bernard Maybeck and English arts and crafts designers like Vosey and Lutyens. Rather than looking at single, specific precedents and adapting them for contemporary life, Kligerman tries to incorporate multiple strands to come up with something new 'to move the needle forward' as he says.
