Freud theorized that women envied them. An undeniable, global symbol of power and virility since the beginning of humankind, the penis has been much discussed, gestured toward, and depicted, yet seldom understood outside folklore and popular culture’s uneasy mix of self-deprecation and aggrandizement. Despite the penis’s central role in human life or perhaps due to that role, nearly every man seems to suffer in isolation or silence from some perceived inadequacy or affliction. OCTOBER 500 p., 30 halftones That’s where experienced urologist and sexologist Mels van Driel 51/2 x 81/2 comes in. In Manhood, he offers an unprecedented history of the ISBN-13: 978-1-86189-542-4 Cloth $35.00 penis—with answers to everything you ever wanted to know, and even HISTORY some questions you’d never thought to ask. Manhood considers the NSA male sexual organ from medical, psychological, and cultural perspec- tives. Van Driel’s fascinating study ranges from circumcision to infertil- ity and from impotence to the speed of ejaculation. Psychological fac- tors that have an impact on sexual experience, as well as contemporary phenomena, such as cybersex, are given enlightening treatment along the way as well. With good humor and much insight, van Driel offers diverse and instructive examples. This informative guide is not just a book for men, but for women too—anyone curious to know the facts behind the many myths and stories of the penis. Mels van Driel is a urologist and sexologist at the University Medical Center in Groningen in the Netherlands. He has written widely for scientific publica- tions, newspapers, and magazines. Paul Vincent has been a translator from Dutch and German to English for twenty years. Reaktion Books 105 THOR GOTAAS Running A Global History Translated by Peter Graves n the past decade, the number of Americans who consider them- selves runners has more than doubled—in 2008, more than 16 Imillion Americans claimed to have run or jogged at least one hundred days in the year. Though running now thrives as a convenient and accessible form of exercise, it is no surprise to learn that the craze is not truly new; humans have been running as long as they could walk. What may be surprising, however, are the myriad reasons why we have performed this exhausting yet exhilarating activity through the “An obligatory Christmas present for ages. In this humorous and unique world history, Thor Gotaas collects everyone who can both run and read. numerous unusual and curious stories of running, from ancient times [The book includes] a whole universe of to modern marathons and Olympic competitions. fascinating anecdotes.” Among the many examples that illustrate Gotaas’s history are King —Bjørn Gabrielsen, Shulgi of Mesopotamia, who four millennia ago boasted of running Dagens Næringsliv from Nippur to Ur, a distance of not less than one hundred miles. Gotaas’s account also includes ancient Egyptian pharaohs who ran to OCTOBER 320 p., 15 halftones prove their vitality and maintain their power, Norwegian Vikings who 51/2 x 8 1/2 ISBN-13: 978-1-86189-526-4 exercised by running races against animals, as well as little-known Cloth $35.00 SPORTS naked runs, bar endurance tests, backward runs, monk runs, snowshoe NSA runs, and the Incas’ ingenious network of professional runners. The perfect gift for the sprinter, the marathoner, or the daily jog- ger, this intriguing world history will appeal to all who wish to know more about why the ancients shared our love—and hatred—of this demanding but rewarding pastime. “An effortless run through history. Thor Gotaas takes us with him on a well-gauged tour through the amazing and many-sided world history of running, elegantly told without for a moment being monotonous.”—Per Haddal, Aftenposten Thor Gotaas is a writer who specializes in folklore and cultural history.

In A History of Bullfighting, Elisabeth HISTORY NSA Hardouin-Fugier brings clarity to this debate through an exploration of the long history of killing bulls as public spectacle. A History of Bullfighting is the first cross-cultural study of bullfight- ing, covering Europe and the Americas. Hardouin-Fugier shows how each continent has its own unique style and tools of the trade. For example, in North America, the favored technique is grabbing the bull by the horns, but in Europe the bull is run through with a sword. In the late 1700s, bullfights became mass leisure activities, with paying spectators packing into arenas—the classic bullfight of popular imagi- nation. It was at this time that the bullfight became a big business and the bullfighter became a celebrity. In this vivid and comprehensive history, Hardouin-Fugier also explores the extensive influence of the bullfight on art, literature, and culture from the paintings of Goya to the writings of Georges Bataille. Enriched with many fascinating and sometimes disturbing illus- trations, A History of Bullfighting presents a discerning and intelligent approach to a divisive practice. Hardouin-Fugier’s informative history will enthrall anyone who has been curious about bullfighting—sup- porters and detractors alike. Elisabeth Hardouin-Fugier is professor of art history at the Université Jean Moulin in Lyon. She is the author of A History of Floral Painting and A History of French Still Life in the Nineteenth Century and coauthor of Zoo: A History of Zoological Gardens in the West, also published by Reaktion Books.

  • AWAR of INDIVIDUALS: Bloomsbury Attitudes to the Great
    2 Bloomsbury What were the anti-war feelings chiefly expressed outside ‘organised’ protest and not under political or religious banners – those attitudes which form the raison d’être for this study? As the Great War becomes more distant in time, certain actions and individuals become greyer and more obscure whilst others seem to become clearer and imbued with a dash of colour amid the sepia. One thinks particularly of the so-called Bloomsbury Group.1 Any overview of ‘alter- native’ attitudes to the war must consider the responses of Bloomsbury to the shadows of doubt and uncertainty thrown across page and canvas by the con- flict. Despite their notoriety, the reactions of the Bloomsbury individuals are important both in their own right and as a mirror to the similar reactions of obscurer individuals from differing circumstances and backgrounds. In the origins of Bloomsbury – well known as one of the foremost cultural groups of the late Victorian and Edwardian periods – is to be found the moral and aesthetic core for some of the most significant humanistic reactions to the war. The small circle of Cambridge undergraduates whose mutual appreciation of the thoughts and teachings of the academic and philosopher G.E. Moore led them to form lasting friendships, became the kernel of what would become labelled ‘the Bloomsbury Group’. It was, as one academic described, ‘a nucleus from which civilisation has spread outwards’.2 This rippling effect, though tem- porarily dammed by the keenly-felt constrictions of the war, would continue to flow outwards through the twentieth century, inspiring, as is well known, much analysis and interpretation along the way.

  • Index of Concepts in Eugenio Barba's Writings
    NORDISK TEATERLABORATORIUM – ODIN TEATRET - WWW.ODINTEATRET.DK INDEX OF CONCEPTS IN EUGENIO BARBA’S WRITINGS LLUÍS MASGRAU CRITERIA . Eugenio Barba’s written work is a laboratory of concepts. Beyond the numerous texts and the apparent variety of subjects dealt with, there exists in his work a series of inner lines of strength that structure and amalgamate it in a coherent whole. These lines of strength are composed of a range of concepts that Barba takes up and elaborates from one text to another. These concepts move through his writings via innumerable intellectual peripetia. This document is an index of concepts with the respective bibliographical indications corresponding to Barba’s written work. The bibliographical indications don't refer to the places where he quotes the concepts in question, but to the fragments where he formulates and elaborates them. The document includes all the concepts that have a precise and concrete formulation in Barba’s writings, even if they have only one bibliographical reference. The document, however, does not include a whole series of very important concepts in his work which do not possess a precise formulation: "exile", "ethics", "ethos", "journey", "transcendence". This deliberate vagueness constitutes a kind of music or background throughout Barba’s written work. The title is always in English. If the text doesn't exist in English, it is given in the language of its first publication. Article titles are written in lower case letters, book titles in capitals. The references included in every concept are in chronological order, from the most recent to the oldest. Barba’s text, in which the most elaborate formulation of every concept appears, is in bold.

  • Iwas Lucky to Be in London in May and Catch
    The Scream REBECCA NEMSER I was lucky to be in London in May and catch Fram , Tony Harrison’s latest play,* in its short but spectacu - lar run at the Olivier Theatre at London’s National Theatre. The play, all in rhyming verse, begins in Westminster Abbey, with moonlight shining through the stained glass of the great Rose Window, casting a reflection of Aeschylus on the cold stone floor. In walks the ghost of Gilbert Murray (Jeff Rawle), rising up from his grave and carrying a tragic mask. Murray, the early-twentieth-century Oxford professor and classicist, was also a humanitarian, deeply involved in the League of Nations and the United Nations and co-founder of Oxfam. But since his death fifty years ago, his once-admired verse translations of Aeschylus and Euripides have been scorned, and the world he tried to save has been ravaged by even more unimaginable horrors. So instead of decomposing in his urn, he has spent his afterlife composing this play. He calls up the spirit of Sybil Thorndike (Sian Thomas, as splendid as the character she plays), the actress who tri - umphed on the London stage as Clytemnestra, Hecuba, and Medea in Murray’s once wildly popular versions, and whisks her off to the Olivier stalls of the National Theatre—for Fram is not just a play within a play, but a theater within a theater. Most of all, it is a poem about poetry. The hero of the play is Fridtjof Nansen (Jasper Britton), Murray’s long-ago friend (and admirer of his translations)— the dashing Norwegian scientist, artist, and Arctic explorer *Tony Harrison, Fram .

  • Michael West
    Theater of Enigma in Shakespeare’s England Michael West Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 © 2017 Michael West All rights reserved ABSTRACT Theater of Enigma in Shakespeare’s England Michael West Theater of Enigma in Shakespeare’s England demonstrates the cognitive, affective, and social import of enigmatic theatrical moments. While the presence of other playgoers obviously shapes the experience of attending a play, I argue that deliberately induced moments of audience ignorance are occasions for audience members to be especially aware of their relations to others who may or may not share their bafflement. I explore the character of states of knowing and not-knowing among audience members and the relations that obtain among playgoers who inhabit these states. Further, I trace the range of performance techniques whereby playgoers are positioned in a cognitive no-man's land, lying somewhere between full understanding and utter ignorance—techniques that I collectively term “enigmatic theater.” I argue that moments of enigmatic theater were a dynamic agent in the formation of collectives in early modern playhouses. I use here the term “collective” to denote the temporary, occasional, and fleeting quality of these groupings, which occur during performance but are dissipated afterwards. Sometimes, this collective resembles what Victor Turner terms communitas, in which the normal societal divisions are suspended and the playgoers become a unified collectivity. At other times, however, plays solicit the formation of multiple collectives defined by their differing degrees of knowledge about a seeming enigma.

Though he spent some years at boarding schools, including Abbotsholme and Leamington College, he received much of his education at home. His mother enjoyed strong interests in literature and politics and Strachey met many of the leading writers and thinkers of the day when they came to visit Lady Strachey. Strachey's secondary education was completed at University College in Liverpool where he studied Latin, Greek, mathematics, and English literature and history. It was at University College that he met and was influenced by Walter Raleigh, a professor of English literature and well known biographer. After failing to receive a scholarship to Oxford in 1899, Strachey decided to attend Cambridge where he developed many friendships which lasted the rest of his life.

  • New Words for Ancient Paths1
    ARTISTS' TEXTS E-ISSN 2237-2660 New Words for Ancient Paths1 Eugenio BarbaI IOdin Teatret - Holstebro, Denmark Every age dreams of the previous one, said Jules Michelet. While day- dreaming about past theatre ages, we invent our own technique moving along ancient paths. We feel the need to forge words which belong to us and may evoke our mirages and presumed conquests. It is good to ponder over the names of ancient ways but, equally, it is useful to re-baptise regularly the terms of our working language. Today actors apply a technique which doesn’t aim at fixed forms and patterns nor does it respect well-defined ‘rules of the game’, as in the case of performances with a pre-arranged codification like ballet, kabuki or kathakali. I speak of the actors in those theatres which lack or refuse a codified tradition, and have no specific stylisation or recognisable manner. These are theatres with a particular destiny or vocation: they live as if they were always in a statu nascendi, in an emerging state or in the constant condition of the new beginner even if they have many years of experience. Such theatres are generally qualified as experimental, laboratories or simply group theatres. They correspond to an important independent tradition. A tradition of the new sounds like a poetic oxymoron, and it is indeed a contradiction. But this incongruity is an essential part of the history of modern theatre. It is obvious that the tradition of the new cannot employ repeatable procedures which ensure a result within a reasonable margin of error.
