Christopher K. Starr OONNEE TTHHOOUUSSAANNDD BBOOOOKKSS Zardhenge, Ohio 2007 Cover illustration: The Bookworm by Carl Spitzweg (1850) CONTENTS Introduction ....................................................................................... 3 Books I Would Like to Read ..................................................................... 5 Books I'm Glad I Read ........................................................................... 31 1 2 INTRODUCTION Like modern people everywhere, I am enchanted by the written word. I regard books as a thing of wonder. Quite a number of famous writers, in an unabashed display or modernity, have seen fit to share with us the books that have meant much to them, and we thank them for it. I have perused those of Jorge Luis Borges (1961), Henry Miller (1952) and John Cowper Powys (1916), with interest and delectation. It has occurred to me that a very few people might care to see that my own booklist would look like. Going a step beyond Borges, Miller and Powys, I have listed those books that I have not yet read but would like to (Part 1), as well as those that I can recall having read with appreciation (Part 2). To be sure, some of the books that I think I want to read will almost certainly turn out to be foolish choices when I get to them, but no matter. Unlike the three aforementioned luminaries, I have no literary reputation to lose. Each part lists about 1000 books. Where a particular volume has an english version, this title is given first. If it has an alternative english title or (more often) if the original title is in another modern language that uses roman script, this follows in square brackets. Whether I read a particular book in English or another language is irrelevant. Following the title is the date of composition or publication. A bracketed date indicates that publication (usually posthumous) was long after the work was written. And in a few cases I have favoured the reader with my own opinionated comments. What use should you make of this book? Well, anything you please, really. Anyone wishing to psychoanalyze me -- a dirty job, but for all I know someone may want to undertake it -- will find plenty of data in these pages, I have no doubt. This list is not exactly a set of recommendations, but a young person looking for suggestions on what to read might very well derive some profit from it. Without claiming to understand the minds of librarians, it occurs to me that some might find some professional value here. After all, these are the thoughts of one who has been reading books almost constantly for 50 years and serious grown-up fare for more than 40 years. Finally, I am mindful that some of you like to have cookouts, and these pages, once printed, will burn, so at the very least I can help you to get the barbecue up and burning.

Rather, it is those that I think I will want to read when I get the chance. As often happens, one eagerly looks forward to reading something, based on what one has heard, what one has already read by the author, or maybe just because the topic sounds so cool, only to find the book an utter disappointment. (The Lord of the Rings springs readily to mind; what a letdown.) In addition, even if an especially prolific author's books are uniformly good, one may not have appetite for more than a few of them. For example, I have a strong appreciation of H.P. Lovecraft and would very much like to get acquainted with Jules Verne, but do I really want to read more than three or four books by either one? With those cautions in account, I would be happy to have any of the following volumes in my hands. Will I ever, in fact, read them? Yes, most of them, unless I get hit by a bus tomorrow.

    Nature in Kawabata's Writings Ss.Pdf

    NATURE IN KAWABATA’S WRITINGS Selected Secondary Sources His own cosmos ―While every novelist endeavors to create a proper setting for his novel, Kawabata seems to have been especially careful in preparing a cosmos uniquely his own. In these worlds of Kawabata‘s, some of the commonest words come to have special meanings, though they may vary somewhat from one reader to another. There emerges a tension between the generality of the word and the specifics of the context, and that tension becomes a source of stimulation for the reader‘s fancy.‖ --Ueda, Modern Japanese Writers, 213 Wide margins of canvas of life (moths, Russian woman) ―The kaleidoscopic succession of images . effectively suspends the narrative progress and forces us to pay attention to those large margins in the canvas of life.” --Miyashi, Accomplices of Silence, 111 In The Sound of the Mountain: ―the paragraphs, highlighting the objects of [Shingo‘s] consciousness, nonetheless gradually move away from the interior of his existence toward the container of all the drama – the world around, the wide margins of the novel.‖ --Miyashi, Accomplices of Silence, 118 Nature by itself ―Kawabata‘s achievement . lies in just this, his keen awareness of the objects around men that exist in themselves as solidly as people do. Objects, in the world and in the world of the novel, are somehow or other related to people, but Kawabata seldom makes the connection between them explicit for us. With each of his brief paragraphs self-contained in this way . these objects tend to stand autonomous.” --Miyashi, Accomplices of Silence, 119 > not a statement of atomism, but of biocentrism ―What I would call Kawabata‘s nominal imagination is apparent even in his earliest work.
  • Social Mimesis As an Argument in Evolutionary Theory Around 1900

    Social Mimesis As an Argument in Evolutionary Theory Around 1900

    Hist. Phil. Life Sci., 31 (2009), 201-214 “Imitation of Similar Beings”: Social Mimesis as an Argument in Evolutionary Theory around 1900 Stefan Willer Zentrum für Literatur- und Kulturforschung Schützenstraße 18 10117 Berlin, Germany ABSTRACT – The article analyzes imitation as both a fascinating and irritating phenomenon in “classical” evolutionary theory. Evolutionists situate imitation on the threshold between the natural and the socio-cultural, hence between the animal and the human. This intermediate position can be regarded as a symptom for the unresolved and maybe unresolvable problem of intentionality and teleology in nature. To elaborate this problem, I examine the ways in which imitation was conceived of by the German Africologist Wilhelm Bleek in his treatise On the Origin of Language and by Charles Darwin in The Descent of Man. Bleek and Darwin share a high esteem of imitation, which they see as the mainspring of human mental capacities, including language. But at the same time, imitation for them is the epitome of a low level of consciousness, embodied in the figures of the idiot, the savage, and the ape. Thus, the problem of similarity comes to the fore: similarity produced by imitation, but also being at the basis of every act of imitation. This problem is further evidenced with a side glance on Darwin’s remarks about mimicry in The Origin of Species. The article closes with a literary reading of Franz Kafka’s Report to an Academy, in which imitation and similarity represent survival strategies and motivate a strange shift from ape to man. KEYWORDS – Ape, imitation, intention, language, mimesis, mimicry, resemblance, similarity, survival Introduction To begin, the current relevance of the problem of imitation needs to be stressed.

    Alfred Russel Wallace and the Darwinian Species Concept

    Gayana 73(2): Suplemento, 2009 ISSN 0717-652X ALFRED RUSSEL WALLACE AND THE Darwinian SPECIES CONCEPT: HIS paper ON THE swallowtail BUTTERFLIES (PAPILIONIDAE) OF 1865 ALFRED RUSSEL WALLACE Y EL concepto darwiniano DE ESPECIE: SU TRABAJO DE 1865 SOBRE MARIPOSAS papilio (PAPILIONIDAE) Jam ES MA LLET 1 Galton Laboratory, Department of Biology, University College London, 4 Stephenson Way, London UK, NW1 2HE E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Soon after his return from the Malay Archipelago, Alfred Russel Wallace published one of his most significant papers. The paper used butterflies of the family Papilionidae as a model system for testing evolutionary hypotheses, and included a revision of the Papilionidae of the region, as well as the description of some 20 new species. Wallace argued that the Papilionidae were the most advanced butterflies, against some of his colleagues such as Bates and Trimen who had claimed that the Nymphalidae were more advanced because of their possession of vestigial forelegs. In a very important section, Wallace laid out what is perhaps the clearest Darwinist definition of the differences between species, geographic subspecies, and local ‘varieties.’ He also discussed the relationship of these taxonomic categories to what is now termed ‘reproductive isolation.’ While accepting reproductive isolation as a cause of species, he rejected it as a definition. Instead, species were recognized as forms that overlap spatially and lack intermediates. However, this morphological distinctness argument breaks down for discrete polymorphisms, and Wallace clearly emphasised the conspecificity of non-mimetic males and female Batesian mimetic morphs in Papilio polytes, and also in P.

    PRINCETON UNIVERSITY: Woodrow Wilson School, Politics Department, East Asian Studies Program CONTEMPORARY CHINA: A BOOK LIST (Winter 1999 — FIRST ON-LINE EDITION, MS Word, L&R margins 0.9") by Lynn White This list of items in English has several purposes: --to help advise students' course essays, junior papers, policy workshops, and senior theses about contemporary China; --to supplement the required reading lists of the seminars WWS 576a/Pol. 536 on "Chinese Development" and Pol. 535 on "Chinese Politics," as well as the undergraduate lecture course, Pol. 362; --to provide graduate students with a list that can help their study for comprehensive exams in Chinese politics; a few of the compiler's favorite books are starred on the list, but not too much should be made of this, because some such books may be too old for students' purposes or the subjects may not be central to present interests; --to supplement a bibliography of all Asian serials in the Princeton Libraries that was compiled long ago by Frances Chen and Maureen Donovan. Students with specific research topics should definitely meet Laird Klingler, who is WWS Librarian and the world's most constructive wizard. This list cannot cover articles, but computer databases can. Rosemary Little and Mary George at Firestone are also enormously helpful. Especially for materials in Chinese, so is Martin Heijdra in Gest Library (Palmer Hall; enter up the staircase near the "hyphen" with Jones Hall). Other local resources are at institutes run by Chen Yizi and Liu Binyan (for current numbers, ask at EAS, 8-4276). Professional bibliographers are the most neglected major academic resource at Princeton.

    UNIVERSITÉ DE PARIS 1 PANTHÉON-SORBONNE U.F.R D’histoire de l’art et d’archéologie Thèse pour un doctorat de l’université Discipline : art contemporain Marie-Francine Desvaux - Mansour Le Surréalisme à travers Joyce Mansour Peinture et Poésie, le miroir du désir. Volume 1 Thèse dirigée par Monsieur le Professeur Philippe Dagen Soutenue le 5 avril 2014 Membres du jury : — Mme Françoise Vaillant — M. Daniel Fabre — M. Daniel Lançon REMERCIEMENTS A Cyrille, Alexandre et Hadrien Je remercie mon mari Cyrille Mansour qui m’a accordé toute sa confiance pour découvrir et éplucher ces documents, dont la plupart sont inédits et qui font maintenant partie de nos archives. Je remercie Philippe, le frère de mon mari, qui souvent m’a aidée à trouver des livres ou des œuvres qui me manquaient. Je remercie mes tantes, Gillian Soria, sœur de Joyce, et Lily Adès, sa belle sœur avec laquelle j’ai eu des conversations passionnantes sur son enfance et sa jeunesse. Je remercie Marie-Laure Missir qui a classé pendant plus de deux ans les quelques milliers de documents accumulés dans les boîtes à cigares de Joyce Mansour. Sans elle, je n’aurais peut-être pas lu la correspondance d’André Breton qui s’étale sur plus de dix ans, de 1955 à 1966, et qui m’a ouvert les portes du surréalisme dans sa dernière période. Je remercie Paul Lombard, qui m’a fait partager ses connaissances nourries d’un grand amour pour les poètes et les peintres du mouvement surréaliste. Je remercie Marc Kober, pour le prêt d’archives concernant le surréalisme égyptien.
