Free Download Paul de Man, "Blindness and Insight: Essays in the Rhetoric of Contemporary Criticism Ed 2"
English | ISBN: 1138172820 | 2016 | 340 pages | EPUB, PDF | 2 MB + 7 MB
In Blindness and Insight, de Man examines several critics and finds in their writings a gap between their statements about the nature of literature and the results of their practical criticism. Not only are the critics unaware of this gap, says de Man, but their blindness to it often leads to some of their most valuable insights. The central issue of de Man’s work is the rhetorical constitution of the text, and this book, with its new introduction by Wlad Godzich and five additional essays by de Man, is meant to challenge readers to a new appreciation of their chosen task as readers of literature. Included in this new edition are the original essays on Binswanger, Poulet, Lukas, Blanchot, the New Critics, and Derrida’s `of Grammatology’, as well as five more: `The Rhetoric of Temporality’, `The Dead-End of Formalist Criticism’, `Heidegger’s Exegesis of Holderlin’, a review of Bloom’s `Anxiety of Influence, and `Literature and Language’.

Free Download Available surfaces : essays on poesis By Hummer Hummer
2012 | 160 Pages | ISBN: 0472071858 | PDF | 2 MB
In Available Surfaces , T. R. Hummer explores the art of making both poetry and music, and of the concept of "making" itself. He draws on childhood experiences and experiences as an adult, as a poet, and as an explorer of unworldly spaces to examine that "something ineffable about the process of making of which the poem is the exemplary artifact." Hummer grew up in the deep South, and spent many of his high school years playing saxophone in various rock and roll bands before he met poetry. This musical influence is visible in his work: he often discusses poetry together with music, or music with poetry, and his career has included both writing and performance.

Free Download Ben van den Bercken MA, "Alternative Egyptology: Critical essays on the relation between academic and alternative interpretations of ancient Egyp"
English | ISBN: 9464261617 | 2024 | 160 pages | PDF | 8 MB
From a mummy on board the Titanic to the pyramids’ alignment with the stars, from psychoactive mushrooms to the lost realm of Atlantis: alternative interpretations of ancient Egypt, often summarized as ‘alternative Egyptology’, have always focused on subjects that others shunned. Ever since the birth of scholarly Egyptology with the decipherment of the hieroglyphic script two hundred years ago, alternative interpretations and imaginative theories have flourished alongside it. They intertwined with egalitarian and spiritual tendencies in society during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when ancient Egypt inspired countless mediums, artists, and movements from freemasonry to the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. More recently alternative interpretations have inspired comic-book authors and nationalist Chinese bloggers.

Author: Tania De Rozario
Narrator: Tania De Rozario
In this unusual, engaging, and intimate collection of personal essays, Lambda Literary Award finalist Tania De Rozario recalls growing up as a queer, brown, fat girl in Singapore, blending memoir with elements of history, pop culture, horror films, and current events to explore the nature of monsters and what it means to be different. Tania De Rozario was just twelve years old when she was gay-exorcised. Convinced that her boyish style and demeanor were a sign of something wicked, her mother and a pair of her church friends tried to "banish the evil" from Tania. That day, the young girl realized that monsters weren’t just found in horror tales. They could lurk anywhere-including your own family and community-and look just like you.
