        Herde der Rede

        Poem

        by Oswald Egger

        »Die Erde - kaum auszumalen - ist der Rede interieur.« Und die Herde der Rede aggregieren in »Vorstufen der Verschmelzung von Figurenreihen, die vor dem ruhenden Auge vorüberziehen« ein Poem von mehr als 1000 neunzeiligen Strophen, »Stanzen aus diskreter Stetigkeit«. Da schläft Poemander, Hirte der Hermetika, schürt und hütet die Herde seiner überlieferung, welche ihr »Wachsein in Sprache« erhellt. Der opulente Gedichtband deutet zudem in Glossen sowie ikonischen Lese- und Orientierungshilfen die Möglichkeiten von Lyrik an: ohne hemdsärmelige »Krempel der reinen Vernunft« dort, wo Sprache aufhört, Kritik ihrer Urteilskraft zu sein, »zunft ihrer Zukunft« einzugehen in ein selbstredendes Moiré der Rede. Ein Gegengedicht, das Aufmerksamkeit, Erwartung und Erinnerung wortgetreu verflicht in Strängen der lyrischen Tradition. Ekloge, Ode und Lehrgedicht in einem - als anschaulich präzis konzipierte, sinnliche Verstrickung: »Nach und nach ist Poesie alles in allem ein Bild.«

        John Ashbery and American Poetry

        by David Herd

        starting point. David Herd sets out to provide readers with a new critical language through which they can appreciate the beauty and complexity of Ashbery's writing. Presenting the poet in all his forms -avant-garde, nostalgic, sublime and camp - the book argues that the perpetual inventiveness of Ashbery's work has always been underpinned by the poets desire to write the poem fit to cope with its occasion. Tracing Ashbery's development in the light of this idea, and from its origins in the dazzling artistic environment of 1950's New York, the book evaluates his poetry against the aesthetic, literary and historical backgrounds that have informed it. The story of a brilliant career, and a history of the period in which that career has taken shape, John Ashbery and American Poetry provides a compelling account of Ashbery's importance to Twentieth Century Literature. ;

        Make cheese not war

        Transnational resistance and the Larzac in modern France

        by Andrew W. M. Smith

        In 1971, the French government announced a massive extension of its military base on the Larzac plateau in southern France. Land was to be expropriated from 107 farms around the small town of La Cavalerie. Limited resistance was expected, but what happened next exceeded all expectations. Local sheep farmers set up protest camps and occupied the land. They soon attracted an astonishing level of support, pioneering a form of regional radicalism with global implications. Drawing out the international dimensions of the protest, Make cheese not war explores a transnational resistance movement in the 1970s that challenged dominant visions of modernity and became a wellspring of radical alternatives. Exploring previously unconsulted archives in France and elsewhere, the book offers an in-depth analysis of the decade-long peasant movement and its aftermath. Repositioning the Larzac struggle within a wider network of French and international solidarities, from the US to the UK, Germany, Burkina Faso, New Caledonia and Japan, the book retraces political networks of pacifist activism, as well as environmental movements and anti-nuclear protest. It shows how this French peasant campaign became both a platform and a model for popular engagement.

        Enthusiast

        Essays on modern American literature

        by David Herd

        Enthusiast! is a polemical history of American literature told from the point of view of six of its major enthusiasts. Complaining that his age was 'retrospective', Emerson injected enthusiasm into American literature as a way of making it new. 'What,' he asked, 'is a man good for without enthusiasm? and what is enthusiasm but the daring of ruin for its object?' This book takes enthusiasm to be a defining feature of American literature, showing how successive major writers - Melville, Thoreau, Pound, Moore, Frank O'Hara and James Schuyler - have modernized and re-modeled Emerson's founding sense of enthusiasm. The book presents the writer as enthusiast, showing how enthusiasm is fundamental to the composition and the circulation of literature. Enthusiasm, it is argued, is the way literary value is passed on. Starting with a brief history of enthusiasm from Plato to Kant and Emerson, the book features chapters on each of Melville, Thoreau, Pound, Moore, O'Hara, and Schuyler. Each chapter presents an aspect of the writer as enthusiast, the book as a whole charting the changing sense of literary enthusiasm from Romanticism to the present day. Lucidly written and combatively argued, the book will appeal to readers of American Literature or Modern Poetry, and to all those interested in the circulation of literary work. ;
