Theories of Reading: Books, Bodies, and Bibliomania, 2006, 194 Pages, Karin Littau, 0745616593, 9780745616599, Polity, 2006 Theories of Reading: Books, Bodies, and Bibliomania, 2006, 194 pages, Karin Littau, 0745616593, 9780745616599, Polity, 2006 DOWNLOAD http://bit.ly/1kMX1qL http://goo.gl/RK6J4 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theories_of_Reading_Books_Bodies_and_Bibliomania Why do literary theorists see reading as an act of dispassionate textual analysis and meaning production, when historical evidence shows that readers have often read excessively, obsessively, and for sensory stimulation? Posing these and other questions, this is the first major work to bring insights from book history to bear on literary history and theory. In so doing, the book charts a compelling and innovative history of theories of reading. While literary theorists have greatly contributed to our understanding of the text-reader relation, they have rarely taken into account that the relation between a book and a reader is also a relation between two bodies: one made of paper and ink, the other flesh and blood. This is why, Karin Littau argues, we need to look beyond the words on the page, and pay attention to the technical innovations in the physical format of the book. Only then is it possible to understand more fully how media technology has changed our experience of reading, and why media history presents a challenge to our conceptions of what reading is. Each chapter places the reader in specific disciplinary and historical contexts: literature, criticism, philosophy, cultural history, bibliography, film, new media. Overall, the history recounted in this book points to a split between modern literary study which regards reading as a reducibly mental activity, and a tradition reaching back to antiquity which assumed that reading was not only about sense-making but also about sensation. Theories of Reading: Books, Bodies and Bibliomania will be essential reading for all students and scholars of literary theory and history as well as of great interest to students of the history of the book and new media.

  • A Book Lover's Journey: Literary Archaeology and Bibliophilia in Tim
    Verbeia Número 1 ISSN 2444-1333 Leonor María Martínez Serrano A Book Lover’s Journey: Literary Archaeology and Bibliophilia in Tim Bowling’s In the Suicide’s Library Leonor María Martínez Serrano Universidad de Córdoba [email protected] Resumen Nativo de la costa occidental de Canadá, Tim Bowling es uno de los autores canadienses más aclamados. Su obra In the Suicide’s Library. A Book Lover’s Journey (2010) explora cómo un solo objeto —un ejemplar gastado ya por el tiempo de Ideas of Order de Wallace Stevens que se encuentra en una biblioteca universitaria— es capaz de hacer el pasado visible y tangible en su pura materialidad. En la solapa delantera del libro de Stevens, Bowling descubre la elegante firma de su anterior dueño, Weldon Kees, un oscuro poeta norteamericano que puso fin a su vida saltando al vacío desde el Golden Gate Bridge. El hallazgo de este ejemplar autografiado de la obra maestra de Stevens marca el comienzo de una meditación lírica por parte de Bowling sobre los libros como objetos de arte, sobre el suicidio, la relación entre padres e hijas, la historia de la imprenta y la bibliofilia, a la par que lleva a cabo una suerte de arqueología del pasado literario de los Estados Unidos con una gran pericia literaria y poética vehemencia. Palabras clave: Tim Bowling, bibliofilia, narrativa, arqueología del saber, vestigio. Abstract A native of the Canadian West Coast, Tim Bowling is widely acclaimed as one of the best living Canadian authors. His creative work entitled In the Suicide’s Library. A Book Lover’s Journey (2010) explores how a single object —a tattered copy of Wallace Stevens’s Ideas of Order that he finds in a university library— can render the past visible and tangible in its pure materiality.

As a casual glance at the book will show, Dibdins footnotes predominate over text, and it is in the footnotes that the interest lies. They invite questions as oen as they answer them. What is the supposed similarity between Orator Henleys library and Addisons memoranda for the Spectator What cutting words did Edward Gibbon write about Thomas Hearne Why should we not be surprised to find a book on American history by a Spanish admiral in the library of the President of the Royal Society Who was Captain Cox who could talk as much without book, as any Innholder betwixt Brentford and Bagshot Was Polydore Vergil a plagiarist and John Bagford a biblioclast What is bloterature Sometimes Dibdin tells us, sometimes he assumes we know, and sometimes he chooses to tantalise us. The endnotes provide some of the answers and will, it is hoped, lead readers to discover new books and new writers, or, more oen and more pleasurably, old books and old writers.

  • Bibliomania 2019 - 2020
    Dear Kingsley Families: District 65 is happy to introduce you to B​ ibliomania! This program has come to life through many incarnations. Although the name has changed a few times, our goal is the same: letting our students read wonderful stories and giving them an opportunity to express their learning. Fourth and Fifth Grade students will still be encouraged to read from a carefully selected list of titles. The list will be shorter this year, but will still offer student choice. The Evanston Public Library will have all Bibliomania books on display at all branches. Each class has a copy of each book and they are also available in the Kingsley Library. The Bibliomania list is attached. We heard student voices and have streamlined projects that are both accessible as well as engaging that will encourage a deeper understanding of the book. At Kingsley, we also encourage you to read a title or two as a family and work on a family project; family projects can be presented at three of the lunch/recess sessions: Dec. 10, Feb. 11 and Apr. 21st. Recognition and rewards will be aligned throughout the district, with each school given an opportunity to “battle”. The program will run the length of the school year, with occasional mini challenges along the way. We hope you join the journey of Bibliomania this year. If you have any further questions, please reach out to us! Please return the attached permission slips by November 8th to Mrs. Anderson.
