The Condition of Democracy Volumes 1 2 3

The Condition of Democracy Volumes 1 2 3

Recent years have seen contestations of democracy all around the globe. Democracy is challenged as a political as well as a normative term and as a form of governance. Against the background of neoliberal transformation populist mobilization and xenophobic exclusion but also of radical and emancipatory democratic projects this collection offers a variety of critical and challenging perspectives on the condition of democracy in the 21st Century. The volumes provide theoretical and empirical enquiries into the meaning and practice of liberal democracy the erosion of democratic institutions and the consequences for citizenship and everyday lives. With a pronounced focus on national and transnational politics and processes as well as postcolonial and settler-colonial contexts individual contributions scrutinize the role of democratic societies ideals and ideologies of liberal democracy within global power geometries. By employing the multiple meanings of The Condition of Democracy the collection addresses the preconditions of democratic rule the state this form of governance is in and the changing ways in which citizens can (still) act as the sovereign in liberal democratic societies. The books offer both challenging theoretical perspectives and rigorous empirical findings of how to conceive of democracy in our times which will appeal to academics and students in social and political science economics and international relations amongst other fields. The focus on developments in the Middle East and North Africa will furthermore be of great usefulness to academics and the wider public interested in the repercussions of western democracy promotion as well as in contemporary struggles for democratization ‘from below’. | The Condition of Democracy Volumes 1 2 3

Nostalgias for Homer in Greek Literature of the Roman Empire

Nostalgias for Homer in Greek Literature of the Roman Empire

This volume investigates how versions of Trojan War narratives written in Greek in the first through fifth centuries C. E. created nostalgias for audiences. In ancient education the Iliad and the Odyssey were used as models through which students learned Greek language and literature. This combined with the ruling elite’s financial encouragement of re-creations of the Greek literature of the past created a culture of nostalgia. This book explores the different responses to this climate particularly in the case of the third-century C. E. poet Quintus of Smyrna’s epic Posthomerica. Positioning itself as a sequel to the Iliad and a prequel to the Odyssey the Posthomerica is unique in its middle-of-the-road response to nostalgia for Homer’s epics. This book contrasts Quintus’ poem with other responses to nostalgia for Homeric narratives in Greek literature of the Roman Empire. Some authors contradict pivotal events of the Iliad and Odyssey such as the first-century orator Dio Chrysostom’s Trojan Speech which claims that the Trojan hero Hector did not in fact die contrary to the Iliad’s account. Others re-created Homeric narratives but did not contradict them improvising some elements and adding others. Quintus strikes a compromise in his epic re-imagining Homeric narrative by introducing new characters and scenarios while at the same time retaining the Iliad and Odyssey’s aesthetics. Nostalgias for Homer in Greek Literature of the Roman Empire is of interest to students and scholars working on Homeric reception and the Greek literature of the Roman Empire as well as those interested in classical literature and reception more broadly.

Park Maker Life of Frederick Law Olmsted

Park Maker Life of Frederick Law Olmsted

On April 28 1858 municipal officials announced the winner of the design contest for a great new park for the people of New York City-Plan no. 33 Greensward by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux. Though the appropriated ground for what was to become Central Park was nothing more than a barren expanse occupied by squatters in a matter of a few years Olmsted turned the wasteland into a landscape of coherence elegance and beauty. It not only surpassed the design ingenuity of its existing European counterparts but gained the designer national acclaim in a profession that still lacked a name. Olmsted was an American visionary. He foresaw the day when New York and many other growing cities of the mid-nineteenth century would be plagued by what we presently term urban sprawl. And he was convinced of the critical importance of adapting land for the recreational and contemplative needs of city dwellers before the last remnants of natural terrain were engulfed by monotonous straight streets and piles of erect angular buildings. As a result of his early efforts to revolutionize the design of public parks many cities today are able to preserve the recreational space and greenery within their urban limits. In addition his thoughts and words on wilderness areas still echo across a century of preservation in the wild. This lively and insightful account of his prodigious life features many of his outstanding landscape projects including the Biltmore Estate Prospect Park (Brooklyn) the capitol grounds in Washington DC the Boston Park System the Chicago parks and the Chicago World Fair as well as measures to preserve the natural settings at Niagara Falls Yosemite and the Adirondacks. It traces his early years and describes events that were to form his artistic intellectual and deeply humanistic sensibilities. And it restores this lost American hero to his prominent place in history. In addition to being the acknowledged father of American landscape architecture Frederick Law Olmsted helped shape the political and philosophical climate of America in his own time and today. Elizabeth Stevenson is the author of the Bancroft Award-winning Henry Adams: A Biography; The Glass Lark a biography of Lafcadio Hearn; and Babbitts and Bohemians: From the Great War to the Great Depression all available from Transaction. | Park Maker Life of Frederick Law Olmsted

The Cult of the Ego The Self in Modern Literature

The Cult of the Ego The Self in Modern Literature

Goethe once remarked that every emancipation of the spirit is pernicious unless there is a corresponding growth of control. This remark may be taken as a motto for Eugene Goodheart's study of an aspect of the cultural history of the past two hundred years. In separate chapters on Rousseau Stendhal Goethe and Carlyle Dostoevsky Whitman Lawrence and Joyce Goodheart discovers a community of concern which he calls the cult of the ego. All these writers examined here in one way or another deal with the emancipation of the spirit with all its promise and danger. The characteristic attempt is to extend the boundaries of the self by going beyond the area of safety and. thereby risking even the destruction of the self. They advance the claims of the self at the same time seeking the controls that will secure these claims. The artist-hero becomes the central figure in Goodheart's volume since it is he who comes to exemplify the possibilities of the cult of the ego. Their efforts Goodheart argues have ambiguous results. The seeds of contemporary nihilism are in the failures of these writers to master the chaos of egoism which they helped engender. But their heroism was partly in the effort of resistance: moral religious aesthetic. In a large portion of modern literature resistance has been abandoned either out of exhaustion or out of fascination with the destructive tendency of modern life: in Beckett's phrase a world endlessly collapsing. In his introduction to this first paperback edition Goodheart discusses the book's origin in relation to the counter-cultural unrest of 1968 when it was first published and weighs its theme of the emancipated self against current postmodern assertions of the death of the author. The Cult of the Ego is written with admirable clarity and economy. Its interests are literary moral and political. Moving freely and knowledgeably among various national literatures Goodheart has made an original and valuable contribution to the field of comparative literature. Eugene Goodheart is Edytha Macy Gross Professor of Humanities Emeritus at Brandeis University. Among his books are Novel Practices: Classic Modern Fiction Modernism and the Critical Spirit Culture and the Radical Conscience and Confessions of a Secular Jew: A Memoir all available from Transaction. | The Cult of the Ego The Self in Modern Literature
