Just Literature Philosophical Criticism and Justice

Just Literature Philosophical Criticism and Justice

In Just Literature Tzachi Zamir introduces the idea of 'philosophical criticism' as an innovative approach to interpreting literary texts. Throughout the book Zamir uses the theme of justice as a case study for this new critical approach. By using ‘philosophical criticism’ Zamir posits that a stronger grasp of the idea of justice can increase one’s understanding of literature and thus its value. He offers philosophical readings of works by Dante Shakespeare Toni Morrison J. M. Coetzee and Philip Roth to explore the relationship between aesthetic and epistemic value. Zamir argues that while literature and philosophy remain separate entities examining the two in tandem may help inform the study of both. Offering an inventive twist on an established dynamic this book is essential reading for any student or scholar of literature or philosophy. | Just Literature Philosophical Criticism and Justice

W.M.Thackery and the Mediated Text Writing for Periodicals in the Mid-Nineteenth Century

W.M.Thackery and the Mediated Text Writing for Periodicals in the Mid-Nineteenth Century

This title was first published in 2000: Thackeray's minor writings remain caught in a debate about what constitutes literature and whether magazine writing and journalism might be construed as such. This debate was present during the inception of the mass periodical press in the 1830s when Thackeray began his career and forms part of the context of reasoning within and techniques of Thackeray's work. Throughout his career Thackeray was enmeshed in critical arguments about periodicals novels realism and commercialism. He was himself both (and neither) journalist and literary artist and was at once a product of and critical of emerging writing practices. This book argues that an understanding of Thackeray's writings for periodicals and the literary and commercial context of these is central to an understanding of his literary achievement. Focusing principally on the foundational part of his career from 1833-1847 but relating this to the novels particularly Pendennis and The Adventures of Philip and the Cornhill Magazine of the 1860s the book explores Thackeray's ambiguous response to the burgeoning periodical press and considers his negotation and critique of the market-place through a variety of publishing media. | W.

Sir John Soane’s Influence on Architecture from 1791 A Continuing Legacy

Sir John Soane’s Influence on Architecture from 1791 A Continuing Legacy

Sir John Soane’s Influence on Architecture from 1791: A Continuing Legacy is the first in-depth study of this eighteenth-century British architect’s impact on the work of others extending globally and still indeed the case over 200 years later. Author Oliver Bradbury presents a compelling argument that the influence of Soane (1753-1837) has persevered through the centuries rather than waning around the time of his death. Through examinations of internationally-renowned architects from Benjamin Henry Latrobe to Philip Johnson as well as a number of not so well known Soanean disciples Bradbury posits that Soane is perhaps second only to Palladio in terms of the longevity of his influence on architecture through the course of more than two centuries from the early 1790s to today concluding with the recent return to pure revivalism. Previous investigations have been limited to focusing on Soane’s late-Georgian and then post-modern influence; this is the first in-depth study of his impact over the course of two centuries. Through this survey Bradbury demonstrates that Soane’s influence has been truly international in the pre-modern era reaching throughout the British Isles and beyond to North America and even colonial Australia. Through his inclusion of select detailed case studies Bradbury contends that Soane’s is a continuing not negated legacy in architecture. | Sir John Soane’s Influence on Architecture from 1791 A Continuing Legacy

Routledge Handbook of Public Diplomacy

Routledge Handbook of Public Diplomacy

The second edition of the Routledge Handbook of Public Diplomacy co-edited by two leading scholars in the international relations subfield of public diplomacy includes 16 more chapters from the first. Ten years later a new global landscape of public diplomacy has taken shape with major programs in graduate-level public diplomacy studies worldwide. What separates this handbook from others is its legacy and continuity from the first edition. This first edition line-up was more military-focused than this edition a nod to the work of Philip M. Taylor to whom this updated edition is dedicated. This edition includes US content but all case studies are outside the United States not only to appeal to a global audience of scholars and practitioners but also as a way of offering something fresher than the US/UK-centric competition. In Parts 1–4 original contributors are retained many with revised editions but new faces emerge. Parts 5 and 6 include 16 global case studies in public diplomacy expanding the number of contributors by ten. The concluding part of the book includes chapters on digital and corporate public diplomacy and a signature final chapter on the noosphere and noopolitik as they relate to public diplomacy. Designed for a broad audience the Routledge Handbook of Public Diplomacy is encyclopedic in its range and depth of content yet is written in an accessible style that will appeal to both undergraduate and postgraduate students.
