Author of Motherless Brooklyn and The Fortress of Solitude, Jonathan Lethem is one of the most celebrated and significant American writers working today. This new scholarly study draws on a deep knowledge of all Lethem's work to explore the range of his writing, from his award-winning fiction to his work in comics and criticism. Reading Lethem in relation to five themes crucial to his work, Joseph Brooker considers influence and intertextuality; the role of genres such as crime, science fiction and the Western; the imaginative production of worlds; superheroes and comic book traditions; and the representation of New York City. Close readings of Lethem's fiction are contextualized by reference to broader conceptual and comparative frames, as well as to Lethem's own voluminous non-fictional writing and his adaptation of precursors from Franz Kafka to Raymond Chandler. Rich in critical insight, Jonathan Lethem and the Galaxy of Writing demonstrates how an understanding of th...

Kennedy's book on the tarnished and enigmatic Rose is exceptional. Like the best writing about sport--Liebling, Angell--it qualifies as stirring literature. I'd read Kennedy no matter what he writes about. --Richard Ford Pete Rose played baseball with a singular and headfirst abandon that endeared him to fans and peers, even as it riled others--a figure at once magnetic, beloved and polarizing. Rose has more base hits than anyone in history, yet he is not in the Hall of Fame. Twenty-five years ago he was banished from baseball for gambling, then ruled ineligible for Cooperstown; today, the question Does Pete Rose belong in the Hall of Fame? has evolved into perhaps the most provocative in sports, a layered, slippery and ever-relevant moral conundrum. How do we evaluate the Hit King now, at a time when steroid cheats appear on the Hall of Fame ballot even as Rose is denied? What do we make of this happily unrepentant gambler, this shameless but beguiling showman whose postbaseb...

Creativity has long been thought of as an individual gift, best pursued alone; schools, organizations, and whole industries are built on this idea. But what if this most common belief about how creativity works is wrong? In this revised and expanded edition, psychologist Keith Sawyer tears down some of the most popular myths about creativity and erects new principles in their place. He reveals that creativity is always collaborative-even when you're alone. Sawyer draws on compelling stories of inventions and innovations: the inventors of the ATM, the mountain bike, and open source operating systems, among others, to demonstrate the freewheeling ways of true innovation. He shares the results of his own acclaimed research on jazz ensembles, improv groups, and conversation analysis, to show us how to be more creative in collaborative group settings, how to change organizational dynamics for the better, and how to tap into our own reserves of creativity. Now with a new chapter on web-b...

Domestic spaces have always been difficult for artists. Pioneered by the female presence and argued through late modernism by Clement Greenberg as beneath the concern of great painters such as Jackson Pollock, the domestic re-emerged internationally as a site for serious study by increasing numbers of artists. This book provides a succinct overview of the establishment of European domestic space; considers the theoretical arguments that move the space to the margins of artistic activity and more recently encouraged its return to the forefront of studio practice. Annette Seeman discusses the works of four leading Australian male artists who have chosen to work in contemporary domestic spaces. Drawing inspiration from settings as diverse as the fishing boat harbours that define the port of Fremantle to darker memories of a post war childhood in Melbourne, they consider the complexities of motherhood, relationships, domestic architecture, plastic containers, lawnmowers and a future virtua...

Herausgegeben von Georg Schöllgen, Heinzgerd Brakmann, Sible de Blaauw, Therese Fuhrer, Hartmut Leppin, Winrich Löhr, Heinz-Günther Nesselrath, Maren Niehoff, Ilinca Tanaseanu-Döbler Das auf etwa 35 Bände angelegte Reallexikon für Antike und Christentum ist das zentrale und umfassende Nachschlagwerk zur Erforschung der Spätantike, also der Epoche, die etwa die ersten fünf christlichen Jahrhunderte umfasst. In dieser Zeit nahm das Christentum Gestalt an, und zwar im Rahmen der antiken Kultur mit ihren mannigfachen heidnischen und jüdischen Traditionen. Die allmähliche Einordnung der christlichen Kirche in Staat und Gesellschaft der griechisch-römischen Welt und ihrer Nachbargebiete war der bedeutsamste Vorgang in der Spätantike und legte das Fundament der mittelalterlichen und neuzeitlichen Kultur. Deshalb werden im RAC nicht nur bestimmte Erscheinungen des religiösen Lebens, theologisch bedeutsame Begriffe und Vorstellungen in aller nötigen Tiefe dargestellt. Vielmehr finden Staat und ...
