In many ways, Marie Curie represents modern science. Her considerable lifetime achievements—the first woman to be awarded a Nobel Prize, the only woman to be awarded the Prize in two fields, and the only person to be awarded Nobel Prizes in multiple sciences— are studied by schoolchildren across the world. When, in 2009, the New Scientist carried out a poll for the “Most Inspirational Female Scientist of All Time,” the result was a foregone conclusion: Marie Curie trounced her closest runner-up, Rosalind Franklin, winning double the number of Franklin’s votes. She is a role model to women “A gripping account of the episodes in embarking on a career in science, the pride of two nations—Poland Marie Curie’s life when her involvement and France—and, not least of all, a European Union brand for with intellectual property, the press, excellence in science. celebrity culture, and the international Making Marie Curie explores what went into the creation of this management of information became icon of science.

While adapted to hunt primar- ily hoofed animals, a wolf—or especially a pack of wolves—can kill individuals of just about any species. But even as wolves help drive the underlying rhythms of the ecosystems they inhabit, their evolutionary prowess comes at a cost: wolves spend one third of their time hunt- ing—the most time-consuming of all wolf activities—and success at the hunt only comes through traveling long distances, persisting in the Y MATHEW METZ

PIPPIN Interanimations Receiving Modern German Philosophy

n this latest book, renowned philosopher and scholar Robert B. Pippin offers the thought-provoking argument that the study of Ihistorical figures is not only an interpretation and explication of their views, but can be understood as a form of philosophy itself. In doing so, he reconceives philosophical scholarship as a kind of network of philosophical interanimations, one in which major positions in the history of philosophy, when they are themselves properly understood within their own historical context, form philosophy’s lingua franca. Examining a number of philosophers to explore the nature of this “Interanimations brings together thinkers interanimation, he presents an illuminating assortment of especially from an impressive variety of traditions thoughtful examples of historical commentary that powerfully enact around Hegel and Nietzsche.

By means of these case studies, Pippin mounts an impressive argu- ment about a relatively under-discussed issue in professional philoso- phy—the bearing of work in the history of philosophy on philosophy itself—and thereby argues for the controversial thesis that no strict separation between the domains is defensible.

Robert B. Pippin is the Evelyn Stefansson Nef Distinguished Service Professor in the John U.

n June 23, 2005, the Supreme Court ruled that the city of New London, Connecticut, could condemn fifteen residen- Otial properties in the Fort Trumbull area and transfer them to a new private owner. The use of eminent domain to take private property for public works is generally considered a permissible “public use” under the Fifth Amendment. In New London, however, the land was condemned to promote private “economic development.” “Somin’s thorough rebuttal of the con- Ilya Somin argues that Kelo represents a serious—and danger- stitutional reasoning and philosophical ous—error.

Despite its outcome, the closely divided ruling in Kelo shattered what many believed to be a consensus that virtually any condemna- tion qualifies as a public use.

WhiteWalls 163 Edited by GABRIELLE MALCOLM Fan Phenomena: Jane Austen

early two hundred years after her death, Jane Austen is one of the most widely read and beloved English novelists of any Nera. Writing and publishing anonymously during her life- time, the woman responsible for some of the most enduring characters (and couples) of modern romantic literature—including Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy, Emma Woodhouse and George Knightley— was credited only as “A Lady” on the title pages of her novels. It was not until her nephew published a memoir of his “dear Aunt Fan Phenomena Jane” more than five decades after her death that she became widely known. From then on, her fame only grew, and fans and devotees, APRIL 156 p., illustrated in color throughout so-called Janeites, soon obsessed over and idolized her. Austen soon 7 x 9 found an appreciative audience not only of readers but also of academ- ISBN-13: 978-1-78320-447-2 Paper $22.00/£15.50 ics, whose scholarship legitimated and secured her place in the canon LITERATURE of Western literature. Today, Austen’s work is still assigned in courses, obsessed over by readers young and old, parodied and parroted, and adapted for films. Were she alive today, Austen might not recognize some of the work her novels have inspired, such as a retelling of Sense and Sensibility featuring sea monsters, Internet fan fiction, or a twelve-foot statue of a wet-shirted Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy depicting a scene that doesn’t even appear in her novel. But like any great art that endures and excites long after it is made, Austen’s novels are inextricable from the culture they have created. Essential reading for Austen’s legions of admirers, Fan Phenomena: Jane Austen collects essays from writers and critics that consider the culture surrounding Austen’s novels.

Intellect Books 121 Edited by MARISA C. HAYES Fan Phenomena: The Rocky Horror Picture Show

hen The Rocky Horror Picture Show was released in 1975, it initially received an indifferent reception in movie the- W aters, but it began to gain notoriety after it was embraced by audiences at midnight screenings in New York City and elsewhere. The movie tells of the misadventures of Brad and Janet, newly en- gaged, whose car breaks down in a rainstorm, forcing them to seek Fan Phenomena refuge in the castle of the bizarre and flamboyant Dr. Frank-N-Furter. An homage to campy B-movies, sci-fi, and horror films, the movie APRIL 156 p., illustrated in color throughout 7 x 9 was—and still is—more than the sum of its parts. Participatory and ISBN-13: 978-1-78320-450-2 party-like, midnight showings attract moviegoers who dress as film Paper $22.00/£15.50 FILM STUDIES characters, sing along with the catchy show tunes, and interact with the action on screen. In the four decades since its release, it has become a cultural phenomenon, not to mention one of the most commercially successful films of all time. In Fan Phenomena: The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Marisa C. Hayes brings together a diverse group of writers who explore the film’s influ- ence on the development of the pastiche tribute film, emerging queer activism of the 1970s, glam rock style, and the creative use of audience dialogue in recreating and interacting with the spoken and sung lan- guage of the film. Spotlighting a cult phenomenon and its fans, many of whom count the number of times they’ve seen the movie in the hundreds, this con- tribution to the Fan Phenomena series covers never-before-explored topics related to The Rocky Horror Picture Show. For anyone who has ever done the “Time Warp,” this will be essential reading.

122 Intellect Books PAUL KLEIN The Art Rules Wisdom and Guidance from Art World Experts

well-known advocate and proponent of art in Chicago, Paul Klein is a longtime gallerist whose friendships with artists, A dealers, collectors, and curators have afforded him a rare vantage point on the vagaries and victories of the art world. Since closing his gallery in 2004, he has parlayed his insider knowledge into a cottage industry that addresses the imbalance between visual artists’ gifts for creation and their frequent unfamiliarity with the work of FEBRUARY 189 p., 20 halftones 7 x 9 ISBN-13: 978-1-78320-465-6 managing successful careers.

Based on his many years in both the art world as a gallery owner and educator, The Art Rules is a practical, operational guide for visual artists that demystifies the art world and empowers practitioners to find success on their own terms. Bringing together the personal expe- riences of hundreds of major art world leaders, Klein chronicles their success, their staying power, their interests, and their passions. Filling a major void, The Art Rules gives practitioners the tools they need to real- ize their potential. Ultimately, Klein shows, success is not particularly complicated, but it is rarely taught, shared, or demonstrated for the visual artist. This book does precisely that.

It P consists, he says, “neither of philosophical argumentation, nor short learned essays, nor novelistic narration,” but comes, rather, from a phase of his work in which the very concept of genre has been allowed to fall away, leaving an entirely modern, secular, and abnormal vision of the world. In Abysses, the newest addition to the series, Quignard brings us yet more of his troubling, questing characters—souls who are fascinated by what preceded and conceived them. He writes with a rich mix of “Quignard forthrightly advances profound anecdote and reflection, aphorism and quotation, offering enigmatic ideas that challenge the way people glimpses of the present, and confident, pointed borrowings from the approach the world.” past.

Translated by John Taylor

hould you find yourself strolling along the coastal heights of Douarnenez, a Brittany town near the westernmost point of S continental France, you would do well to look out for a signpost marked, “Georges Perros (1923–1978) ‘Dazzled by the sea.’” Perros, who famously made that remark and settled there in 1959, was ini- tially an actor but is now best known for his literary output, which was marked by stylistic freshness and frank criticism. Perros lived anony- mously in the fishing port of Douarnenez, scraping by as a freelance author and manuscript reader who taught and published a few books, The French List but mostly corresponded with fellow writers or rode his motorcycle along the country roads.

He is best remembered for the autobiographical poems collected in Blue Poems and An Ordinary Life, as well as for Paper Collage, his compendium of maxims, vignettes, short prose narratives, occasional diary-like nota- tions, critical remarks, and personal essays. Making this essential work available for the first time in English, this book presents a selection of these touching and thought-provoking short texts alongside numer- ous maxims, a genre in which Perros excelled. With typical modesty, the author called himself a journalier des pensées, a day labourer who tills thoughts. As readers, we can do no better than to read the tilled thoughts of Georges Perros.

Georges Perros was a French author and critic. John Taylor is a literary critic and the translator of many books. He is also the author of seven books of stories, short prose, and poetry, the latest of which is If Night is Falling.

In Rechnitz, a chorus of messengers reports on the circumstances of the massacre of 180 Jews, an actual historical event that took place near the Austrian/Hungarian border town of Rechnitz. More than a docudrama, this work explores the very transmission of historic mem- ory and has been called Jelinek’s best performance text to date. In The Merchant’s Contracts, Jelinek brings us a comedy of economics, where the babble and media spin of spectators leave small investors alienated and bearing the brunt of the economic crisis. In the age of the global economy, Jelinek turns the story of a merchant of Vienna into a univer- sal comedy of errors, making this her most accessible work. Along with an extensive introduction by the translator that both contextualizes and analyzes the two brilliant texts, a DVD of perfor- mances of both plays accompanies this volume.

Elfriede Jelinek was a leading member of Austria’s first generation of post– World War II artists. Gitta Honegger is professor of theater at Arizona State University. She is the translator of Thomas Bernhard’s The Making of an Austrian.

ISBN-13: 978-84-939231-4-3 Paper $32.00/22.50 In “Photography or Life,” Juan José Lahuerta contrasts well-known PHOTOGRAPHY ARCHITECTURE ESP images tied to the history of twentieth-century architecture with anonymous graphic materials and pictures from the popular press. In doing so, he demonstrates that pointing a camera at a building is nei- ther natural nor innocent—it involves deliberate and telling decisions. His analysis of the work of Adolf Loos and Le Corbusier, for example, suggests irreconcilable differences between the two architects that rep- resent radically opposed approaches to architecture and life. Further- more, a close study of snapshots of Walter Gropius’s Bauhaus building taken by teachers and students leads to new ways of understanding the myths associated with the Dessau school. Using the same method in “Popular Mies,” Lahuerta looks at pho- tographs of architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s work and shows that Mies was influenced not only by Stieglitz and Camera Work, but also a mass culture that enjoyed zeppelins, music halls, x-rays, and phantasma- gorical gadgets. At the same time, in their portrayals of Mies’s work, the press and anonymous photographers situated it in a popular context that stands as a counterpoint to the notion of a heroic modern era. This first volume of Columns of Smoke is a brilliant treatment of mod- ern visual culture that will redefine our concept of modernity.

The Civil War Letters of Captain James Love

he Missouri History Museum archives are bursting with collec- tions that provide firsthand accounts of both historic and ev- T eryday moments, but when archivist M. E. Kodner came across the James Love letters, she knew she had discovered something extraor- dinary. My Dear Molly consists of the 166 letters that St. Louisan James Love wrote to his fiancée, Eliza Mary “Molly” Wilson, during his Civil War service. The letters discuss the war, including activities in Missouri, APRIL 528 p., 140 halftones 7 x 10 ISBN-13: 978-1-883982-82-9 battles, Love’s life as a soldier, and his time in a Confederate prison, in Cloth $29.95/£21.00 addition to detailing the love story of James and Molly. Spanning the AMERICAN HISTORY entire Civil War period, the letters give a full account of both the on- going conflict and the many different aspects of Love’s life, making My Dear Molly a unique contribution to our literature of the time period. The book opens with a prologue describing Love’s life before the war, including his immigration to the United States from Ireland, his early career, and a trip to Australia he took in the 1850s. The body of the text consists of his letters and is divided into three sections: Love’s early service with the Fifth US Reserve Corps, most of which was spent in Missouri; his service with the Eighth Kansas Infantry, which includes descriptions of military life and battle, ending with him being wounded at the Battle of Chickamauga and taken prisoner; and his years in various Confederate prisons and his attempts to escape. Each portion of the book begins with an introduction to place the letters in their his- torical context and to briefly explain the events and people that Love mentions in his letters. It concludes with an epilogue describing his final, successful escape, his life with Molly after the war, how the letters came to the Missouri History Museum, and Kodner’s discovery of her connections through family friends to James and Molly’s descendants. My Dear Molly is a remarkable, riveting volume that will add much to our knowledge of the Civil War period—its battles and conflicts as well as the experiences of ordinary Americans like James and Molly.
