L. AustinTheatre has a remarkable capacity: it touches from a distance. The audience is affected, despite their physical separation from the stage. The spectators are moved, even though the fictional world presented to them will never come into direct touch with their real lives. Shakespeare is clearly one of the master practitioners of theatrical touch. As the study shows, his exceptional dramaturgic talent is intrinsically connected with being one of the great thinkers of touch. His plays fathom the complexity and power of a fascinating notion - touch as a productive proximity that is characterised by unbridgeable distance - which philosophers like Friedrich Nietzsche, Maurice Blanchot, Jacques Derrida, Luce Irigaray and Jean-Luc Nancy have written about, centuries later. By playing with touch and its metatheatrical implications, Shakespeare raises questions that make his theatrical art point towards modernity: how are communities to form when traditional institutions begin to crumble? What happens to selfhood when time speeds up, when oneness and timeless truth can no longer serve as reliable foundations? What is the role and the capacity of language in a world that has lost its seemingly unshakeable belief and trust in meaning? How are we to conceive of the unthinkable extremes of human existence - birth and death - when the religious orthodoxy slowly ceases to give satisfactory explanations? Shakespeare's theatre not only prompts these questions, but provides us with answers. They are all related to touch, and they are all theatrical at their core: they are argued and performed by the striking experience of theatre's capacities to touch - at a distance.Literature: history & criticismbicsscLiterary CriticismEuropeanEnglish, Irish, Scottish, WelshLiterature: history & criticism822.33Ungelenk Johannes , authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1178390DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK996517760603316Touching at a Distance3006348UNISA01025nam0 22002771i 450 UON0039024320231205104608.52528-939614-2-820110323d1996 |0itac50 bafreCA|||| |||||Propos sur le Québec et la francophonieessaisAxel MaugeyMontréalHumanitas1996154 p.22 cm.LETTERATURA CANADESEStudiUONC077589FICAMontréalUONL000242844.914Saggistica francese, 1945-21MAUGEYAxelUONV200878705128HumanitasUONV272038650ITSOL20240220RICASIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOUONSIUON00390243SIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOSI CAN II A MAU SI DA 3465 7 Propos sur le Québec et la francophonie1354864UNIOR03589nam 22004693 450 991100928390332120240903080253.097816417728531641772859(CKB)5580000000355470(VLeBooks)9781641772853(MiAaPQ)EBC31629118(Au-PeEL)EBL31629118(Exl-AI)31629118(OCoLC)1455136966(EXLCZ)99558000000035547020240903d2020 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe Coming of Neo-Feudalism A Warning to the Global Middle Class1st ed.La Vergne :Encounter Books,2020.©2020.1 online resource (1 p.)Cover -- Title Page -- Copyright -- Dedication -- Contents -- Preface -- Part I.

The Totalitarian Urban FutureGenerated by AI.Following a remarkable epoch of greater dispersion of wealth and opportunity, we are inexorably returning towards a more feudal era marked by greater concentration of wealth and property, reduced upward mobility, demographic stagnation, and increased dogmatism. If the last seventy years saw a massive expansion of the middle class, not only in America but in much of the developed world, today that class is declining and a new, more hierarchical society is emerging.The new class structure resembles that of Medieval times. At the apex of the new order are two classes-a reborn clerical elite, the clerisy, which dominates the upper part of the professional ranks, universities, media and culture, and a new aristocracy led by tech oligarchs with unprecedented wealth and growing control of information. These two classes correspond to the old French First and Second Estates.Below these two classes lies what was once called the Third Estate. This includes the yeomanry, which is made up largely of small businesspeople, minor property owners, skilled workers and private-sector oriented professionals. Ascendant for much of modern history, this class is in decline while those below them, the new Serfs, grow in numbers-a vast, expanding property-less population.The trends are mounting, but we can still reverse them-if people understand what is actually occurring and have the capability to oppose them.FeudalismGenerated by AISocial mobilityGenerated by AIFeudalismSocial mobility305.512Kotkin Joel1825786MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911009283903321The Coming of Neo-Feudalism4393684UNINA
