Free Download The Prosthetic Arts of Moby-Dick by David Haven Blake
English | November 29, 2024 | ISBN: 0197780512 | True EPUB | 256 pages | 3 MB
The Prosthetic Arts of Moby-Dick offers the first book-length study of how physical disability shapes one of the world’s most iconic novels. For generations, readers have viewed Captain Ahab’s whalebone leg as a symbol of what he lacks, the limb he lost while fighting the white whale off the coast of Japan. David Haven Blake considers that ivory leg in a historical, medical, and geo-political context. Drawing on extensive archival research, he situates Ahab’s prosthesis at the center of the novel’s reflections on wounding, embodiment, and the role that Islamic cultures play in American narratives of revenge.

Free Download Sam Ladkin, Robert McKay, Emile Bojesen, "Against Value in the Arts and Education (Disruptions)"
English | 2016 | ISBN: 1783484896 | PDF | pages: 448 | 27.1 mb
Against Value in the Arts and Education proposes that it is often the staunchest defenders of art who do it the most harm, by suppressing or mollifying its dissenting voice, by neutralizing its painful truths, and by instrumentalizing its ambivalence. The result is that rather than expanding the autonomy of thought and feeling of the artist and the audience, art’s defenders make art self-satisfied, or otherwise an echo-chamber for the limited and limiting self-description of people’s lives lived in an "audit culture", a culture pervaded by the direct and indirect excrescence of practices of accountability.

Mixed martial arts or MMA is widely regarded as the fastest growing sport. Events fill stadiums around the world and draw vast television audiences, earning strong revenue through pay-per-view at a time when other sports have abandoned it. In 2016, the Ultimate Fighting Championship was bought by the massive talent agency WME-IMG for $4 billion. Despite this success, much of the public remains uneasy with the sport, which critics have denounced as "human cockfighting."
