Summary; A sustained study of Lichtenstein's pop oeuvre, offering new readings of such canonical works as Look Mickey and Happy Tears. In Hall of Mirrors, Graham Bader traces the development of Roy Lichtenstein's art into, through, and beyond his classic pop oeuvre of the 1960s. Bader charts the trajectory of Lichtenstein's practice from his student days in the late 1940s to his mirror paintings of the 1970s, offering new readings of such canonical paintings as Look Mickey and Girl with Ball as well as examinations of lesser-known works across a range of media. Bader's analysis goes beyond the standard critical view of pop as a reaction to the high-culture pieties of abstract expressionism. Instead, Bader sees Lichtenstein's work as motivated by the forces of unoriginal originality-Lichtenstein's discovery that he could make art by borrowing from other images-and disembodied bodies-his use of flattened and schematic forms to reinvigorate figurative painting. Bader argues that 1961's Look Mickey, Lichtenstein's inaugural pop work, established a template for the tension between embodiment and disembodiment that animates much of his 1960s practice: between an evacuation of sensory experience, on the one hand, and a repeated focus on emphatic bodily acts (squeezing, kissing, crying, etc.) on the other. A similar dialectical friction exists between Lichtenstein's process and product: consistently hand-painted canvases that increasingly feign the look of industrial production. Hall of Mirrors moves chronologically, beginning with Lichtenstein's studies at Ohio State University and late-'50s moves toward pop, through his seminal canvases of the early 1960s, to his late-'60s experiments across sculpture, painting, installation, and film. The book ends with an examination of Lichtenstein's Mirror paintings of 1969-72. These little-discussed works, Bader argues, exemplify Lichtenstein's late-'60s shift of focus to the embodied experience of his own viewers-and thus culminate and conclude his practice of the decade.

SUMMARY: Feminist philosophy of religion has developed in recent years because of the exposure of explicit sexism in much traditional philosophical thinking about religion. The struggle with a discipline shaped almost exclusively by men has led feminist philosophers to redress the problematic biases of gender, race, class and sexual orientation in the traditional subject. Feminist Philosophy of Religion: Critical Readings brings together key new writings in this growing field. Part one of the reader explores important approaches to the feminist philosophy of religion, including psychoanalytic, poststructualist, postmetaphysical and epistemological frameworks. In part two, the contributors survey significant topics including questions of divinity, embodiment, spirituality and religious practice. Supported by explanatory prefaces and an extensive bibliography, Feminist Philosophy of Religion: Critical Readings is an important resource for this new area of study. **Will be well-packed for posting/shipping**.

The Religious ideal of Ecstasy is central to the cross-fertilization between Hinduism and Islam in South Asia. That is the basic theme of this volume, which explores how Mysticism associated with rapture, ecstasy, eroticism, longing, and suffering were the human Emotions which held the key to knowing the divine in both Hinduism and Islam. The performing Arts (such as dance, music, Poetry or the abstract concept of performativity) offer a potent lens to examine ecstasy and the ecstatic body. By foregrounding the performing body in religious devotion, the Essays in this volume reorient the discourse of the body as it emerged in scholarly disciplines such as Anthropology and sociology. The essays draw from new theoretical Research into the Nature and importance of performance in imagining the Cultural and religious life of South Asia. From a South Asia perspective, these essays enhance the engagement of performance studies with the intellectual ideal of embodiment. One common thread that ties together these essays is the linked concepts of sringara-rasa (erotic emotion) and Bhakti (loving devotion). All of them draw from new theoretical research into the nature and importance of the body through evidence drawn from architecture, painting, drama, poetry, qawwali singing, dance, yoga, and religious texts.

This volume examines three interrelated aspects of the history of British India: race, the disciplining institution, and attempts by the colonized to imagine states of freedom. They deal with sites as diverse as the prison, the family, the classroom, the playing field and children`s literature. The included essays confront the ideological, social and political ramifications of the fact that even as metropolitan prisons and schools shifted their attention from the body of the inmate to the confined `soul`, colonial disciplinary institutions ensured that race was firmly attached to the body and its habits. Situated within the work on gender, domesticity and the state, they also engage the historiography that has sought to underline the challenges of reconciling Michel Foucault and Edward Said, i.e. studying the making of norms in a world of deviance and difference. They ask whether the liberating possibilities of the racialized-and-embodied `native` self were confined to inversions and rearrangements of given normative hierarchies, or if we can occasionally glimpse radical departures and alternative configurations of power.

"By drawing on specialized works in biblical, liturgical, historical, and theological studies, Marthaler has written a scholarly but eminently readable work that explains the traditional formulas of faith in the context of the confessing church. He uses a narrative style that nicely blends historical and cultural backgrounds with theological explanations. The body of the book is a commentary on the contents of the Creed in light of today's questions. It is, in fact, a compendium that attempts to capture not only the meaning but the spirit and life of the Christian community as it has come to be embodied in Catholic tradition.

Fassbinder, Ulrike Ottinger, and Werner Schroeter explored issues of identity–national, political, personal, and sexual–music and film style played crucial roles. Most studies of the celebrated film movement, however, have sidestepped the role of music, a curious oversight given its importance to German culture and nation formation. Caryl Flinn’s study reverses this trend, identifying styles of historical remembrance in which music participates. Flinn concentrates on those styles that urge listeners to interact with difference–including that embodied in Germany’s difficult history–rather than to ‘master’ or ‘get past’ it. Flinn breaks new ground by considering contemporary reception frameworks of the New German Cinema, a generation after its end. She discusses transnational, cultural, and historical contexts as well as the sexual, ethnic, national, and historical diversity of audiences. Through detailed case studies, she shows how music helps filmgoers engage with a range of historical subjects and experiences. Each chapter of The New German Cinema examines a particular stylistic strategy, assessing music’s role in each. The study also examines queer strategies like kitsch and camp and explores the movement’s charged construction of human bodies on which issues of ruination, survival, memory, and pleasure are played out. inventory #35101 ISBN: 0520238230., 0, Paperback.

Hardcover. New. Ruth Jhabvala`s tryst with India and how it works itself out in her fiction has been a matter of critical concern for long. But barring occasional heretical voices, the established critical canon has always treated her as `an adopted daughter of India` and her work as part of the Indian-English Corpus of writing. Lately, working from the `orientalist` perspective, critics have started exploring her work as a literary embodiment of post-colonial consciousness. They have also begun discovering post-modernist themes and issues hidden underneath her deceptively simple Narrative concerns. This shift of perspective has aroused new interest in Ruth Jhabvala`s fiction. The present work is the first full-length Study of Ruth Jhabvala`s Image of India as embodied in her entire Body of fiction. It analyses Ruth Jhabvalav`s oeuvre from her first Novel To Whom She Will to the last one to date Shards of Memory and traces her image of India as embodied in these novels. The image, as it turns out, has been quite objective and sympathetic in the first flush of Ruth Jhabvala`s romantic tryst with India. But with each succeeding novel, it gets more and more negativity reaches its crescendo in Heat and Dust, Ruth Jhabvala`s tour de force in many respects. In her recent phase of fiction Writing emanating from New York, where she is presently settled, India has ceased to be a palpably visible protagonist but continues to impinge on her consciousness as a brooding metaphor. Though essentially a work of literary criticism, Ruth Jhabvala`s India should be of interest to students of sociology, indology, politics, in fact to all those interested in exploring India and what it stands for.

Simone Forti's art developed within the overlapping circles of New York City's advanced visual art, dance, and music of the early 1960s. Her "dance constructions" and related works of the 1960s were important for both visual art and dance of the era. Artists Robert Morris and Yvonne Rainer have both acknowledged her influence. Forti seems to have kept one foot inside visual art's frames of meaning and the other outside them. In Soft Is Fast, Meredith Morse adopts a new way to understand Forti's work, based in art historical analysis but drawing upon dance history and cultural studies and the history of American social thought. Morse argues that Forti introduced a form of direct encounter that departed radically from the spectatorship proposed by Minimalism, and prefigured the participatory art of recent decades. Morse shows that Forti's work negotiated John Cage's ideas of sound, score, and theater through the unique approach to movement, essentially improvisational and grounded in anatomical exploration, that she learned from performer and teacher Ann (later Anna) Halprin. Attentive to Robert Whitman's and La Monte Young's responses to Cage, Forti reshaped Cage's concepts into models that could accommodate Halprin's charged spaces and imagined, interpenetrative understanding of other bodies. Morse considers Forti's use of sound and her affective use of materials as central to her work; examines Forti's text pieces, little discussed in art historical literature; analyzes Huddle, considered one of Forti's signature works; and explicates Forti's later improvisational practice. Forti has been relatively overlooked by art historians, perhaps because of her work's central concern with modes of feeling and embodiment, unlike other art of the 1960s, which was characterized by strategies of depersonalization and affectlessness.
