Proust, the Body and Literary Form


Free Download Proust, the Body and Literary Form (Cambridge Studies in French) by Michael R. Finn
English | April 28, 1999 | ISBN: 0521641896, 0521027543 | True PDF | 226 pages | 1.3 MB
Michael Finn examines the vogue for nervous afflictions in France in the late nineteenth century, and compares Proust’s anxieties about writing In Search of Lost Time to the concerns of earlier writers suffering from nervous conditions, including Flaubert, Baudelaire, Nerval and the Goncourt brothers. Once Proust cast off his fear of being a nervous weakling, he was able to make fun of the supposed purity of the novel form.

Anteaesthetics Black Aesthesis and the Critique of Form (Inventions Black Philosophy, Politics, Aesthetics)


Free Download Anteaesthetics: Black Aesthesis and the Critique of Form (Inventions: Black Philosophy, Politics, Aesthetics) by Rizvana Bradley
English | October 24, 2023 | ISBN: 1503637131 | 406 pages | PDF | 53 Mb
In Anteaesthetics, Rizvana Bradley begins from the proposition that blackness cannot be represented in modernity’s aesthetic regime, but is nevertheless foundational to every representation. Troubling the idea that the aesthetic is sheltered from the antiblack terror that lies just beyond its sanctuary, Bradley insists that blackness cannot make a home within the aesthetic, yet is held as its threshold and aporia. The book problematizes the phenomenological and ontological conceits that underwrite the visual, sensual, and abstract logics of modernity.

Form-Oriented Analysis A New Methodology to Model Form-Based Applications


Free Download Form-Oriented Analysis: A New Methodology to Model Form-Based Applications By Dirk Draheim, Gerald Weber (auth.)
2005 | 372 Pages | ISBN: 3540205934 | PDF | 2 MB
Form-based applications range from simple web shops to complex enterprise resource planning systems. Draheim and Weber adapt well-established basic modeling techniques in a novel way to achieve a modeling framework optimized for this broad application domain. They introduce new modeling artifacts, such as page diagrams and form storyboards, and separate dialogue patterns to allow for reuse. In their implementation they have developed new constructs such as typed server pages, and tools for forward and reverse engineering of presentation layers. The methodology is explained using an online bookshop as a running example in which the user can experience the modeling concepts in action.The combination of theoretical achievements and hands-on practical advice and tools makes this book a reference work for both researchers in the areas of software architectures and submit-response style user interfaces, and professionals designing and developing such applications. More information and additional material is also available online.

This book explores the Japanese notion of hakanasa – the evanescence of all things. Responses to this idea have been various and even contradictory: asceticism, fatalism, conformism, hedonism, materialism, and careerism. This book examines the ties between an epistemology of constant change and Japan’s formal emphasis on etiquette and visuality.

Deadly Musings Violence and Verbal Form in American Fiction


Free Download Deadly Musings: Violence and Verbal Form in American Fiction by Michael Kowalewski
English | July 26, 1993 | ISBN: 0691069735 | True EPUB/PDF | 316 pages | 0.4/1.9 MB
"Violent scenes in American fiction are not only brutal, bleak, and gratuitous," writes Michael Kowalewski. "They are also, by turns, comic, witty, poignant, and sometimes, strangely enough, even terrifyingly beautiful." In this fascinating tour of American fiction, Kowalewski examines incidents ranging from scalpings and torture in The Deerslayer to fish feeding off human viscera in To Have and Have Not, to show how highly charged descriptive passages bear on major issues concerning a writer’s craft. Instead of focusing on violence as a socio-cultural phenomenon, he explores how writers including Cooper, Poe, Crane, Hemingway, Faulkner, Wright, Flannery O’Connor, and Pynchon draw on violence in the realistic imagining of their works and how their respective styles sustain or counteract this imagining.
