FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - Flawless copy brand new pristine never opened -- 240 pp. ; 277 illus. 234 in color. -- with a bonus offer--; Critic Nicholas Usherwood has described the painting of Clive Hicks-Jenkins b.1951 as 'reflective expressive painting of the highest order'. From a background as a choreographer and theatre director Hicks-Jenkins has since the 1990s become increasingly well-known as a painter producing exploratory sequences of works that embrace diverse subject-matter with a consistent and distinctive vision. His paintings are now held in all the principal public collections in Wales and his artists' books are in libraries worldwide; he is a Royal Cambrian Academician and an Honorary Fellow of Aberystwyth University. This book is the first to survey Clive Hicks-Jenkins' work as a whole and is published in celebration of the artist's 60th birthday. Its wide-ranging texts written by poets novelists and art historians based in Britain and the USA address the themes inherent in Hicks-Jenkins' different bodies of work: the use of locations in his paintings; his interest in creating theatrical ensembles from familiar objects; the sequence of huge drawings inspired by the Welsh folk tradition of the Mari Lwyd; the important sequence of works made in response to the fragments of a Tuscan altarpiece at Christ Church Picture Gallery; paintings exploring stories of the miraculous; the influence of theatre in the artist's use of puppets as preparatory maquettes; the important role of drawing; the production of artist's books; and Hicks-Jenkins' dialogues with contemporary poets. The book will be welcomed by the artist's growing following of supporters and collectors and by all those with an interest in contemporary narrative painting. . 2011. 1848220820 .

Description: " 'Marx Through Post-Structuralism' presents a thorough critical examination of the readings of Marx given by fourpost-structuralist thinkers all key figures in Continental philosophy: Jean-François Lyotard Jacques Derrida Michel Foucault and Gilles Deleuze. Arguing that both Marx and the post-structuralists seek to produce a genuinely materialist philosophy the author aims to develop a better understanding of both Marx and post-structuralism and in so doing to reflect on the possibilities and problems for materialist philosophy more broadly. Against the common assumption that post-structuralism begins with a rejection of Marx Choat argues that Marx has been a key influence on post-structuralist thought and that each of the four thinkers examined affirms Marx’s contemporary significance. By looking at how these thinkers have read Marx – analysing their direct comments unspoken uses and implicit criticisms – the book demonstrates that there is a distinct and original post-structuralist approach to Marx that allows us to read him in a new light." -- with a bonus offer--; Continuum Studies In Continental Philosophy; Marx Through Post-Structuralism presents a thorough critical examination of the readings of Marx given by four post-structuralist thinkers all key figures in Continental philosophy: Jean-Franois Lyotard Jacques Derrida Michel Foucault and Gilles Deleuze.

On Humour Humor

FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - FLAWLESS COPY PRISTINE NEVER OPENED -- 160 pages; clean and crisp tight and bright pages with no writing or markings to the text. -- TABLE OF CONTENTS: 1. Introduction 2. Is humour human 3. Laughing at your body- post-colonial theory 4. The laughing machine- a note on Bergson and Wyndham Lewis 5. Foreigners are funny- the ethicity and ethnicity of humour 6. The joke's on all of us- Humour as sensus communis 7. Why the super-ego is your amigo- My sense of humour and Freud's Bibliography Thanks Index. -- DESCRIPTION: On Humour is a fascinating and beautifully written book on what philosophy can tell us about humor and about what it is to be human. Simon Critchley probes some of the most perennial features of humor such as our tendency to laugh at animals and our bodies why we mock death with comedy and why we think it's funny when people start to act like machines. He also looks as the darker side of humor as when rife with sexism and racism and shows how humor might remind us of people we would rather not be. Above all Simon Critchley argues that humor can tell us much about the human condition the meaning of life and why comedy itself begins in philosophy. -- -- FS REVIEW: As with everything else in the deconstructionist enterprise this little essay On Humor may dazzle with erudition and playfulness but leave you feeling empty and dissatisfied--not in the Socratic sense of stunned ignorance but with the books stunning ignorance. With an intellectual range extending from shallowness to emptiness Critchley gives us a survey of thought on the subject of humor utterly lacking in originality insight and the ability to discriminate between serious and ludicrous explanations. -- with a bonus offer--; R-520-Critch; Critchley Simon On Humour Humor WIT HUMOR HISTORY CRITICISM LITERARY On Humour is a fascinating and beautifully written book on what philosophy can tell us about humor and about what it is to be human.
