A Practice of Resistance --Notes --Index --BackmatterMichael Onfray passionately defends the potential of hedonism to resolve the dislocations and disconnections of our melancholy age. In a sweeping survey of history's engagement with and rejection of the body, he exposes the sterile conventions that prevent us from realizing a more immediate, ethical, and embodied life. He then lays the groundwork for both a radical and constructive politics of the body that adds to debates over morality, equality, sexual relations, and social engagement, demonstrating how philosophy, and not just modern scientism, can contribute to a humanistic ethics. Onfray attacks Platonic idealism and its manifestation in Judaic, Christian, and Islamic belief. He warns of the lure of attachment to the purportedly eternal, immutable truths of idealism, which detracts from the immediacy of the world and our bodily existence. Insisting that philosophy is a practice that operates in a real, material space, Onfray enlists Epicurus and Democritus to undermine idealist and theological metaphysics; Nietzsche, Bentham, and Mill to dismantle idealist ethics; and Palante and Bourdieu to collapse crypto-fascist neoliberalism. In their place, he constructs a positive, hedonistic ethics that enlarges on the work of the New Atheists to promote a joyful approach to our lives in this, our only, world.Insurrections.HedonismOntologyPhilosophy, Modern21st centuryHedonism.Ontology.Philosophy, Modern194Onfray Michel1959-472123McClellan JosephMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910825378803321A hedonist manifesto3985684UNINA02798nam 2200625 a 450 99624809430331620221108053903.00-520-90880-52027/heb05786(CKB)2660000000000273(dli)HEB05786(SSID)ssj0000333410(PQKBManifestationID)11257003(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000333410(PQKBWorkID)10336128(PQKB)10835544(MiU)MIU01000000000000007009182(DE-B1597)647976(DE-B1597)9780520908802(EXLCZ)99266000000000027319880718d1986 ub 0engurmnummmmuuuutxtccrReading dancing[electronic resource] bodies and subjects in contemporary American dance /Susan Leigh FosterBerkeley University of California Pressc19861 online resource (xxi, 307 p. )ill. ;Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: MonographIncludes bibliography (p. 265-283) and index.Winner of the Dance Perspectives Foundation de la Torre Bueno Prize Recent approaches to dance composition, seen in the works of Merce Cunningham and the Judson Church performances of the early 1960s, suggest the possibility for a new theory of choreographic meaning. Borrowing from contemporary semiotics and post-structuralist criticism, Reading Dancing outlines four distinct models for representation in dance which are illustrated, first, through an analysis of the works of contemporary choreographers Deborah Hay, George Balanchine, Martha Graham, and Merce Cunningham, and then through reference to historical examples beginning with court ballets of the Renaissance. The comparison of these four approaches to representation affirms the unparalleled diversity of choreographic methods in American dance, and also suggests a critical perspective from which to reflect on dance making and viewing.ACLS Humanities E-Book.Reading DancingModern danceUnited StatesChoreographyMovement, Aesthetics ofDanceHistoryDanceHILCCMusic, Dance, Drama & FilmHILCCModern danceChoreography.Movement, Aesthetics of.DanceHistory.DanceMusic, Dance, Drama & Film793.3/1973Foster Susan Leigh711994American Council of Learned Societies.MiUMiUBOOK996248094303316Reading dancing2805482UNISA
