How should we understand the force and figure of that wave as it shapes different disciplines? Other Things explores this question by considering a wide assortment of objects--from beach glass to cell phones, sneakers to skyscrapers--that have fascinated a range of writers and artists, including Virginia Woolf, Man Ray, Spike Lee, and Don DeLillo. The book ranges across the literary, visual, and plastic arts to depict the curious lives of things. Beginning with Achilles's Shield, then tracking the object/thing distinction as it appears in the work of Martin Heidegger and Jacques Lacan, Bill Brown ultimately focuses on the thingness disclosed by specific literary and artistic works. Combining history and literature, criticism and theory, Other Things provides a new way of understanding the inanimate object world and the place of the human within it, encouraging us to think anew about what we mean by materiality itself.Country/Region of Manufacture: USGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityTopic: Society & Culture, Literary Criticism, Arts & PhotographyRelease Year: 2019 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
