Seine Poesie wurde zum Fundament des Symbolismus»Poe erschuf konstant und unweigerlich Magie, während seine größten Zeitgenossen lediglich Schönheit hervorbrachten. [.] So hat ihn seine Überlegenheit die Reputation gekostet.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Die archivarische Sehnsucht, Vergangenheit und Gegenwart zu selektieren, zu kategorisieren und zu speichern, birgt ein hohes Risiko, hegemoniale Denkweisen fortzuschreiben. Denn die Antizipation dessen, was in der Zukunft von Bedeutung sein wird, ist eng geknüpft an gegenwärtige Realitäten und Machtstrukturen. Demgegenüber nimmt der Band Archive als Räume alternativer Forschung und Produktionsorte von Utopien über mögliche Zukünfte in den Blick. Paul Scheerbarts futuristische Novelle aus dem Jahr 1910, Zack und Sidi und der große Kopf, in der zwei Bewohner\*innen des Planeten Ceres über Wissensproduktion und Identität reflektieren, ist Ausgangspunkt für genre-sprengende Überlegungen zu Mechanismen, Methoden und Werkzeugen, um Bilder potenzieller Welten und Formen eines archivarischen Aktivismus zu entwerfen.--Following the archivist's desire to select, categorize, and store past and present runs the risk of perpetuating hegemonic ways of thinking. For anticipating what will be of importance in the future is closely tied in with present-day realities and power structures. As a counterpoint to this, the volume looks at archives as spaces of alternative research and production sites of utopias relating to possible futures. Paul Scheerbart's futuristic 1910 novella, Zack und Sidi und der große Kopf (Zack and Sidi and the Big Head), in which two inhabitants of the planet Ceres reflect on knowledge production and identity, is the starting point for genre-busting ruminations on mechanisms, methods, and tools for designing views of potential worlds and forms of archival activism.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - HarperCollins is proud to present our range of timeless literary classics. 'Welcome, O life! I go to encounter for the millionth time the reality of experience and to forge in the smithy of my soul the uncreated conscience of my race.' Autobiographical in tone, Joyce's tale of Stephen Dedalus' journey into adulthood explores the intellectual and moral development of an artist as he struggles to overcome the ingrained Catholic consciousness of his childhood - a family life governed by Irish history, religion and politics. Realistic and innovative in its approach, the style of writing proved controversial upon publication in 1916 and the character of Stephen on a quest for his identity did not appeal to readers.However, Joyce expertly encapsulates the development of individual consciousness and the role of the artist in society in what is considered one of his greatest works. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - On a late-night television show a popular playwright was asked if making lots of money concerned him. The studio audience went dead silent when he answered, 'No . . . what does concern me is the fear of dying.'Most of us, like that studio audience, are too uncomfortable with death to think clearly about our own eternal future. But the fact is that one day you and I will die. We can live in fear of the unknown or we can take a moment to consider what the Bible says about eternity . . . it may be the most important moment of your life.First, let me ask you a simple question that will help you face the issue: If you died tonight, where would you spend eternity Most people, when asked that question, say something like: 'I've led a pretty good life. I hope I'd go to heaven.' But they're not really sure. Why are they willing to risk their future on wishful thinking when the Bible tells how they can know for sure where they will go after death Perhaps because it's so humbling to face the fact that we are sinners in need of salvation. The Bible says that all fall short of God's glory (Romans 3:23). In our natural state none of us is pure enough to enter heaven; we need God's forgiveness before we can come before him.Entrance into heaven is not based on what we have done, but on what God has done for us through Jesus Christ. The Bible says, 'Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him' (John 3:36). That's why God sent his Son to take the punishment for our sins, so that we won't spend eternity in hell separated from him. 'While we were still sinners, Christ died for us' (Romans 5:8). He willingly took our place, and then he rose from the dead three days later. Now let me ask you the same question again: If you died tonight, where would you spend eternity Are you ready to stand before God with Christ as your Savior, or are you willing to face him in your sinfulness The choice is yours. If you choose God's way, you can tell him in words like these: 'Lord, I am turning from my own attempts to be good enough. I receive your offer of forgiveness and salvation. Thank you that Christ died for me so my life can change now and I can spend eternity with you.' The person who truly believes that Christ is the only way to God has this assurance from Christ himself: 'Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life' (John 5:24). I hope you'll accept his amazing offer.…

A valuable addition with an entertaining story line and enjoyable artwork.' - School Library Journal 'With a crisp, engaging voice and sharp wit, Adrienne Kress is always a treat to read.' - Kelley Armstrong, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author To say twelve-year-old Teddy loves trains is an understatement. He is obsessed. He knows everything there is to know about them, has the most amazing model train setup in the basement, and carries around a small model of a caboose of a 19th century steam engine as a good luck charm! So when Teddy wins a ticket to ride the Excelsior Express in a writing contest, he can't wait. This will be the train's flagship journey, and it's a dream come true for Teddy. Plus, he'll get to see his grandparents in Los Angeles and travel all across North America from his hometown of Toronto, Canada. Wait . . . dream come true Maybe more like a nightmare. When the train gets rerouted from Omaha to Pittsburgh, at first, Teddy doesn't think anything of it. Trains get rerouted all of the time. But then the train gets rerouted again. What's more, his lucky caboose is missing. As it turns out, his ticket to ride takes Teddy, his new friend Olivia, a woman always dressed in yellow named Mina, two traveling musicians named Allie and Dex, and their fellow passengers on an unexpected journey and through some pretty hefty corporate corruption.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Sometimes men are kissing. Men are sometimes kissing and sometimes drinking. Men are sometimes kissing one another.'One of the foremost writers of the twentieth century, Gertrude Stein was marked for her ground-breaking experimental prose and extraordinary friendship group alike, and her works stand as a monument in the Modernist era. In more recent years Stein has been held up as a queer icon, as she lived openly with her life partner Alice B. Toklas and wrote of queer relationships at a time when this was strictly taboo.While some of Stein's queer works made it into print in her lifetime, includingThe Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas, much of her more daring early queer stories only saw the light of day after her death, when Yale set to publishing her complete works. Now that 'The love that dare not speak its name' may be bolder, this collection aims to restore Stein's short, queer works to the canon, and to burnish her status as an early queer icon.…
