Take Back the Light: A Feminist Reclamation of Spirituality

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Ruth, Shelia / Ruth, Sheila, PUBLISHER: Rowmong>anong> & Littlefield Publishers, Feminists have long argued that at the hong>anong>ds of patriarchal religious institutions, women have been brutalized, exploited, ong>anong>d mong>anong>ipulated. In this book, part philosophical ong>anong>alysis/part meditation, philosopher Sheila Ruth explores ong>anong> ong>anong>cient ong>anong>d profoundly different orientation to life, Pagong>anong>ism, to show the possibilities, the pleasures, ong>anong>d the power of connecting the self with the cosmic. Take Back the Light contains certain elements that make it unique: the blend of strategies-including philosophical ong>anong>alysis, poetry, autobiography, ong>anong>d mystical stories; ong>anong> avowedly feminist stong>anong>ce that is grounded in traditional philosophical training as well as women's experience ong>anong>d feminist scholarship; ong>anong>d most particularly, the intention to make clear to those feminists who are opposed to religion in principle that spirituality need not be inconsistent with positive, progressive social action.

The Incomplete Universe: Totality, Knowledge, and Truth

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Grim, Patrick, PUBLISHER: MIT Press (MA), The central claim of this powerful philosophical exploration is that within ong>anong>y logic we have, there cong>anong> be no coherent notion of all truth or of total knowledge.

Chesnutt and Realism: A Study of the Novels

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Simmons, Ryong>anong>, PUBLISHER: University Alabama Press, ong>Anong> importong>anong>t examination of Charles Chesnutt as a practitioner of ong>realismong>. With the release of previously unpublished novels ong>anong>d a recent proliferation of critical studies on his life ong>anong>d work, Charles W. Chesnutt () has emerged as a major Americong>anong> writer of his time--the age of Howells, Twain, ong>anong>d Wharton. In "Chesnutt ong>anong>d ong>Realismong>, "Ryong>anong> Simmons breaks new ground by theorizing how understong>anong>dings of literary ong>realismong> have shaped, ong>anong>d cong>anong> continue to shape, the reception of Chesnutt's work. Although Chesnutt is typically acknowledged as the most prominent Africong>anong> Americong>anong> writer of the realist period, little attention has been paid to the central question of this study: what does it meong>anong> to call Chesnutt a realist? A writer whose career was circumscribed by the dismal racial politics of his era, Chesnutt refused to conform to literary conventions for depicting race. Nor did he use his imaginative skills to evade the realities he ong>anong>d other Africong>anong> Americong>anong>s faced. Rather, he experimented with ways of portraying reality that could elicit ong>anong> appropriate, proportionate response to it, as Simmons demonstrates in extended readings of each of Chestnutt's novels, including importong>anong>t unpublished works that have been overlooked by previous critics. "Chesnutt ong>anong>d ong>Realismong>" also addresses a curiously neglected subject in Americong>anong> literary studies--the relationship between Americong>anong> literary ong>realismong> ong>anong>d race. By taking Chesnutt seriously as a contributor to ong>realismong>, this book articulates the strategies by which one Africong>anong> Americong>anong> intellectual helped to define the discourses that influenced his fate. Ryong>anong> Simmons is Assistong>anong>t Professor of English at Utah Valley State College

In Search of the Split Subject: Psychoanalysis,

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Mycak, Sonia, PUBLISHER: ECW Press, Examining a striking ong>anong>d recurrent aspect of her work--the divided self--this study focuses on the work of Margaret Atwood, offering detailed readings of six of her novels. Through a critical method that borrows freely from both psychoong>anong>alytic ong>anong>d phenomenological theorists, chapters on each novel place distinct emphasis on the concepts of each theory, covering such complex topics as secularization, oedipal relations ong>anong>d connections with the maternal, aggressive relativity, the Imaginary, the symbolic, mimesis, space ong>anong>d the dynamics of location, signification, ong>anong>d enunciative positioning. The result is ong>anong> examination of the ways in which the identity of each protagonist is dislocated, alienated, splintered, ong>anong>d split according to the divisions that mark the subject, ong>anong>d new interpretations of each novel that take into account its characterization, narrative development, thematic content, ong>anong>d setting. ong>Anong> appendix serves to show how Atwood's remaining two novels could be best accounted for by other approaches, making the book a complete account of Atwood's novels to date.
