In 1896, he enrolled at the University of Vienna, where he studied engineering, but later switched to Slavic philology. Under Aškerc's influence, Cankar rejected the sentimental post-Romantic poetry and embraced literary realism and national liberalism. In 1893, he discovered the epic poetry of Anton Aškerc, which had a huge influence on the development of his style and ideals. ĭuring this period, he started writing literature, mostly poetry, under the influence of Romantic and post-Romantic poets such as France Prešeren, Heinrich Heine, Simon Jenko and Simon Gregorčič. After finishing grammar school in his hometown, he studied at the Technical High School ( Realka) in Ljubljana (1888–1896). The figure of a self-sacrificing and submissively repressive mother would later become one of the most recognizable features of Cankar's prose. He was raised by his mother, Neža Cankar née Pivk, with whom he established a close, but ambivalent relationship. He was one of the many children of a poor artisan who emigrated to Bosnia shortly after Ivan's birth. Ivan Cankar was born in the Carniolan town of Vrhnika near Ljubljana.

Read: Christine McVie’s most miraculous songĭespite following a docuseries format akin to VH1’s Behind the Music, the Amazon drama is concerned less with examining the turmoil of the creative process than with depicting predictable love triangles that morph, across 10 episodes, into more complicated shapes. But if fans felt drawn to Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham because their performances came with an air of mystery-were these exes gazing or glaring at each other, even decades after their breakup?- Daisy Jones strips away the mystique surrounding such dynamics. The titular, fictional band at the center of the series is clearly modeled on Fleetwood Mac, the famed 1970s group whose most successful album arrived amid shocking relationship drama and internal feuding. They can’t release or play their music without the audience wondering how personal it is: Are these songs about them? Is what’s happening onstage actually a performance? How did they write these lyrics? What could they possibly get out of being the subjects of such attention?īased on Taylor Jenkins Reid’s best-selling novel, Daisy Jones & the Six understands that musicians face inherent tension between their professional and private lives. But for singer-songwriters whose artistry is often diaristic, scandal is especially intriguing. Gossip can provide sensational grist for an entertainer’s appeal, for better or worse.

Most importantly, the major personality Alex is the largest reel in. I navigated to it a bit late in life I seem like however much better late than never ever. Easily among the most effective publications around. Already we have left behind the concrete realities of the world in favour of abstract ideas (or ideals). And it is direct metaphor rather than simile: ‘“Hope” is the thing with feathers’.īut we might also note those quotation marks: Dickinson is talking about not hope but ‘hope’, the idea of hope, the way we talk about it rather than the reality. Like Dickinson, Brontë begins her poem by trying to define hope:īrontë’s is far more of a narrative poem with symbolic undertones (we’ve analysed it here), while Dickinson’s is lyrical, focusing on the central metaphor. We might also mention a poem by her namesake, Emily Brontë (1818-48). We can picture an eagle or a parrot or a crow, but a ‘thing with feathers’? No chance.ĭickinson’s is by no means the only notable poem about hope. ‘It is as though she begins each general enquiry’, Vendler notes, ‘with the general question, “What sort of thing is this?” and then goes on to categorize it more minutely’.īut there’s something counter-intuitive about a poet whose work is defined by its peculiar and sometimes idiosyncratic attention to detail – describing the snow falling from clouds as being sifted from leaden sieves, for instance, or her wonderfully acute observation of a cat hunting a bird – making such wide and varied use of ‘thing’, a word which is, to borrow Vendler’s adjective, ‘bloodless’. “Science Fiction offers a way to talk about things, issues that are relevant to us, metaphorically,” says writer Ted Chiang. This is perhaps why science fiction has a unique ability to help us think differently-to literally take us to another world. Even a scientific theory is fictional until proven. We tell stories so that other people can imagine an experience we want to share. But unlike industrial labor, knowledge work, for all of its data, is much harder to measure, and stories are a proven method for trying on alternate realities that we may or may not want to manifest. Why do we tell stories? And why in a world with such an overabundance of information is there even room for fiction? Access to information has made our jobs increasingly data-driven and would appear to put a premium on being factual. Reading Capitalist Realism presents some of the latest and most sophisticated approaches to the question of the relation between capitalism and narrative form, partly by questioning how the “realism” of austerity, privatization, and wealth protection relate to the realism of narrative and cultural production. Anxieties over who controls capitalism have thus been translated into demands upon literature, art, and mass media to develop strategies of representation that can account for capitalism’s power. As the world has been reshaped since the 1970s by economic globalization, neoliberalism, and financialization, writers and artists have addressed the problem of representing the economy with a new sense of political urgency. Benedict) introduced anthropology to the American reading public, and in the late 1940s, when the books were reprinted in paperback editions, became the public face of anthropology itself. Bestselling books written by Mead (e.g., Coming of Age in Samoa, Growing Up in New Guinea, and Sex and Temperament in Three Primitive Societies see Mead 1928, Mead 1930, and Mead 1935, all cited under Margaret Mead and Gregory Bateson) and Benedict (e.g., Patterns of Culture, see Benedict 1934a, cited under Ruth F. The movement was initiated by three students of Franz Boas’s (founder of academic anthropology in America)-Edward Sapir, Margaret Mead, and Ruth Benedict-who included, in different ways, a psychological dimension in the study of culture. The movement gained exceptional renown and then fell into disrepute in the decades after 1950, while nevertheless providing a basis for modern psychological anthropology. “Culture and personality” (also known as “personality and culture” and “culture-and-personality studies”) was an interdisciplinary movement seeking to unite psychology with anthropology in American social science of the mid-20th century. His astonishing artwork was an instant success, catalyzing his career and appearing in more than two hundred editions of Dante in the century and a half since. Unable to find a publisher who was willing to take a financial risk on the lavish folio edition he envisaged, Doré self-published it in 1861. In 1855, nearly three decades before his engravings for Poe’s “The Raven,” Doré began working on a series of etchings for Dante’s Inferno ( public library). Dante’s poetry endures as one of our civilization’s most enchanting creations - so much so that it has inspired generations of artists to interpret and reimagine it, from William Blake’s breathtaking etchings for the Divine Comedy to Salvador Dalí’s sinister and sensual paintings for the Inferno.Īmong the most memorable and bewitching reimaginers is the celebrated French illustrator, sculptor, printmaker, and engraver Gustave Doré (January 6, 1832–January 23, 1883), who considered Dante’s work a “ chefs-d’oeuvre of literature.” |
