The Constitution of Shelley's Poetry - Edward T. Duffy - Bog - Anthem Press - Plusbog.dk

The Constitution of Shelley's Poetry - Edward T. Duffy - Bog - Anthem Press - Plusbog.dk

‘The Constitution of Shelley’s Poetry’ is a close philosophical reading of ‘Prometheus Unbound’ and other Shelley works from the perspective of the argument or drama of language played out in its pages. The book urges and practises close reading, but in the thought of Stanley Cavell, it finds and develops philosophical grounds for this ostensibly old-fashioned approach, and it implicitly proposes an understanding of language very different from those currently assumed in literary studies.

Emerging Market Economies and Financial Globalization - Leonardo E. Stanley - Bog - Anthem Press - Plusbog.dk

Emerging Market Economies and Financial Globalization - Leonardo E. Stanley - Bog - Anthem Press - Plusbog.dk

In the past, foreign shocks arrived to national economies mainly through trade channels, and transmissions of such shocks took time to come into effect. However, after capital globalization, shocks spread to markets almost immediately. Despite the increasing macroeconomic dangers that the situation generated at emerging markets in the South, nobody at the North was ready to acknowledge the pro-cyclicality of the financial system and the inner weakness of “decontrolled” financial innovations because they were enjoying from the “great moderation.” Monetary policy was primarily centered on price stability objectives, without considering the mounting credit and asset price booms being generated by market liquidity and the problems generated by this glut. Mainstream economists, in turn, were not majorly attracted in integrating financial factors in their models. External pressures on emerging market economies (EMEs) were not eliminated after 2008, but even increased as international capital flows augmented in relevance thereafter. Initially economic authorities accurately responded to the challenge, but unconventional monetary policies in the US began to create important spillovers in EMEs. Furthermore, in contrast to a previous surge in liquidity, funds were now transmitted to EMEs throughout the bond market. The perspective of an increase in US interest rates by the FED is generating a reversal of expectations and a sudden flight to quality. Emerging countries’ currencies began to experience higher volatility levels, and depreciation movements against a newly strong US dollar are also increasingly observed. Consequently, there are increasing doubts that the “unexpected” favorable outcome observed in most EMEs at the aftermath of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) would remain.

Wittgenstein and Modernist Fiction - Greg Chase - Bog - Anthem Press - Plusbog.dk

Wittgenstein and Modernist Fiction - Greg Chase - Bog - Anthem Press - Plusbog.dk

The early decades of the twentieth century were a period of major economic and cultural upheaval across Europe and America. Scholars have typically held that novelists responded to these shifts by questioning language’s capacity to picture the world accurately. But, even as modernist novels move away from a view of language as a means of gaining knowledge , they also underscore its capacity to grant acknowledgment ; they treat words as tools for recognizing and responding to the inner lives of others. This book brings out this crucial feature of modernism by engaging with the philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein and with Stanley Cavell’s pioneering interpretation of Wittgenstein’s thought. The book shows how Wittgenstein’s interest in acknowledgment emerges over the course of his career-long effort to grapple with the same disorienting conditions of modern life that the experimental fiction of this period registers, including world wars, industrialization, and new conceptions of sexuality. It, then, argues that modernist novels by E.M. Forster, Virginia Woolf, Nella Larsen, William Faulkner, and others exhibit a similar interest in language’s capacity to grant acknowledgment. These novels offer readers a way of hearing what Wittgenstein calls “the silent soliloquy of others,” giving us words by which we might acknowledge the otherwise unvoiced inner lives of socially marginalized figures.

Cavell's Ontology of Film - Jeroen Gerrits - Bog - Anthem Press - Plusbog.dk

Cavell's Ontology of Film - Jeroen Gerrits - Bog - Anthem Press - Plusbog.dk

Cavell’s Ontology of Film presents ten essays by some of the most prominent international scholars of Stanley Cavell’s work with a double purpose: to look back, half a century after its original publication, at Cavell’s now seminal film-philosophical book The World Viewed (1971, enlarged 1979), and to draw on its concepts to assess the world in the current age of digital media and climate change.The volume opens with a series of essays that revisit Cavell’s discussion of film—crucially including classical Hollywood movies—in the context of modernism. Several authors consider whether this preoccupation with modernism in Cavell’s early work ultimately (and anachronistically) gave way to an embrace of romanticism or whether Cavell conceives these frameworks as offering different responses to the persistent problem of skepticism. Others consider how popular filmmakers or film genres outside Hollywood might contribute to, or alter, Cavell’s thoughts on the movies. Moreover, taking to heart that some of Cavell’s main lines of thought are premised on the idea of film as an analog medium that projects and screens the world inside a theater, several contributions to this volume nevertheless project The World Viewed’s concepts onto the future of our televisual and digital culture. The volume finally loops back to Cavell’s discussion of modernism in The World Viewed so as to find the seeds of a Cavellian politics for the age of climate disaster.Thus, beyond celebrating the past through a collection of reviews and reflections on The World Viewed—a book of “ontological reflection” that themselves conceive the world on screen as “a world past”—the present volume is best understood as a series of Cavellian meditations on media and mediated relations to the world, sustained, in the wake of Cavell’s own passing (2018), by an ongoing current of thought on the idea of temporality itself.
