Song --Epilogue --Notes --References --Illustrations --IndexIn Life Beside Itself, Lisa Stevenson takes us on a haunting ethnographic journey through two historical moments when life for the Canadian Inuit has hung in the balance: the tuberculosis epidemic (1940's to the early 1960's) and the subsequent suicide epidemic (1980's to the present). Along the way, Stevenson troubles our commonsense understanding of what life is and what it means to care for the life of another. Through close attention to the images in which we think and dream and through which we understand the world, Stevenson describes a world in which life is beside itself: the name-soul of a teenager who dies in a crash lives again in his friend's newborn baby, a young girl shares a last smoke with a dead friend in a dream, and the possessed hands of a clock spin uncontrollably over its face. In these contexts, humanitarian policies make little sense because they attempt to save lives by merely keeping a body alive. For the Inuit, and perhaps for all of us, life is "somewhere else," and the task is to articulate forms of care for others that are adequate to that truth.InuitMedical careCanadaHistoryTuberculosisCanadaHistoryInuitHealth and hygieneCanadaHistoryanthropologist.anthropology.canadian history.canadian inuit.collection of stories.ethnographer.ethnography.historical biography.mental health.new life.professor.psychologist.reincarnation.sociologist.somewhere else.suicide epidemic.tuberculosis epidemic.understanding our world.InuitMedical careHistory.TuberculosisHistory.InuitHealth and hygieneHistory.362.19699/5008997124SOC002000bisacshStevenson Lisa1495000MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910791004903321Life beside itself3718936UNINA03550nam 2200601Ia 450 991078941380332120230825110257.00-674-06116-010.4159/harvard.9780674061163(CKB)2670000000095384(StDuBDS)AH23050997(SSID)ssj0000524107(PQKBManifestationID)11319507(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000524107(PQKBWorkID)10546633(PQKB)10673558(MiAaPQ)EBC3300945(DE-B1597)178245(OCoLC)733047781(OCoLC)840443249(DE-B1597)9780674061163(Au-PeEL)EBL3300945(CaPaEBR)ebr10478457(EXLCZ)99267000000009538420100719d2011 uy 0engur|||||||||||txtccrThe matter of capital poetry and crisis in the American century /Christopher NealonCambridge, Mass.

Bubble and Crash: Poetry in Late- Late Capitalism --Notes --Bibliography --Acknowledgments --IndexIn this highly original reexamination of North American poetry in English from Ezra Pound to the present day, Christopher Nealon demonstrates that the most vital writing of the period is deeply concerned with capitalism. This focus is not exclusive to the work of left-wing poets: the problem of capitalism's effect on individuals, communities, and cultures is central to a wide variety of poetry, across a range of political and aesthetic orientations. Indeed, Nealon asserts, capitalism is the material out of which poetry in English has been created over the last century. Much as poets of previous ages continually examined topics such as the deeds of King Arthur or the history of Troy, poets as diverse as Jack Spicer, John Ashbery, and Claudia Rankine have taken as their "matter" the dynamics and impact of capitalism-not least its tendency to generate economic and political turmoil. Nealon argues persuasively that poets' attention to the matter of capital has created a corresponding notion of poetry as a kind of textual matter, capable of dispersal, retrieval, and disguise in times of crisis. Offering fresh readings of canonical poets from W. H. Auden to Adrienne Rich, as well as interpretations of younger writers like Kevin Davies, The Matter of Capital reorients our understanding of the central poetic project of the last century.American poetry20th centuryHistory and criticismAmerican poetry21st centuryHistory and criticismCapitalism and literatureAmerican poetryHistory and criticism.American poetryHistory and criticism.Capitalism and literature.811/.54093553Nealon Christopher S(Christopher Shaun),1967-1575203MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910789413803321The matter of capital3851975UNINA
