The Reluctant Narrator: A Survey of Narrative Practices Across Media
AU$125.00 Read MoreAdd to cartAna Teixeira Pinto
Lisboa and Berlin: Museu Colecao Berardo / Sternberg Press, 2015.“Often referred to as the narrative turn, an explosion of interest in narrative practices at the end of the twentieth century was predicated on the notion that life itself is storied, oras Jacques Ranciére put itthat the real must be fictionalized in order to be thought. Postmodernism itself was described as a narrative turn in which a rekindled interest in the fictive, the chronicle, and the anecdotal upstaged the symbolic unity of high modernism. But as Susan Buck-Morss has noted, modernism and postmodernism are not historical moments, they are political positions: two poles of a recurring movement, expressing the contradictions inherent to the industrial mode of production in the identity and nonidentity between social function and aesthetic form. Rather than opposing a myriad of micro-narratives to the grand narrative of modernism, The Reluctant Narrator attempts to map the migration of narrative modes across several media, bringing together works that intertwine personal biography with historical events, or that deal with stories that fell through the crevices of history.” (publisher’s blurb) Edition of 400.

The Witch: A History of Fear, from Ancient Times to the Present
AU$25.00 Read MoreAdd to cartRonald Hutton
New Haven and London: Yale University Press, 2018.“Why have societies all across the world feared witchcraft? This book delves deeply into its context, beliefs, and origins in Europe’s history The witch came to prominence-and often a painful death-in early modern Europe, yet her origins are much more geographically diverse and historically deep. In this landmark book, Ronald Hutton traces witchcraft from the ancient world to the early-modern stake. This book sets the notorious European witch trials in the widest and deepest possible perspective and traces the major historiographical developments of witchcraft. Hutton, a renowned expert on ancient, medieval, and modern paganism and witchcraft beliefs, combines Anglo-American and continental scholarly approaches to examine attitudes on witchcraft and the treatment of suspected witches across the world, including in Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, Australia, and North and South America, and from ancient pagan times to current interpretations. His fresh anthropological and ethnographical approach focuses on cultural inheritance and change while considering shamanism, folk religion, the range of witch trials, and how the fear of witchcraft might be eradicated.” (publisher’s blurb)
