Postmodernity is lived, it seems, at the end of history. In the essays collected in Local Transcendence, Alan Liu takes the pulse of such postmodern historicism by tracking two leading indicators of its acceleration in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries: postmodern cultural criticism-including the new historicism, the new cultural history, cultural anthropology, the new pragmatism, and postmodern and postindustrial theory-and digital information technology. What is the relation between the new historicist anecdote and the database field, Liu asks, and can either have a critical function in the age of postmodern historicism? Local Transcendence includes two previously unpublished essays and a synthetic introduction in which Liu traverses from his earlier work on the theory of historicism to his recent studies of information culture to propose a theory of contingent method incorporating a special inflection of history: media history. 606 $aCriticism$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCriticism$xHistory$y21st century 606 $aHistoricism 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCriticism$xHistory 615 0$aCriticism$xHistory 615 0$aHistoricism. 676 $a801/.950904 700 $aLiu$b Alan$f1953-$0919287 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455048003321 996 $aLocal transcendence$92216425 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02409oam 2200505 450 001 9910157804503321 005 20171127130322.0 010 $a0-7369-6592-0 035 $a(CKB)3710000001009477 035 $a(DLC) 2016034144 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000001009477 100 $a20160725d2017 uy 1 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cn$2rdamedia 183 $anc$2rdacarrier 200 10$aAlways close to home /$fJerry S.

When will it be Rachel's turn for love? Despite having a willing suitor in the vainglorious Wendell Kaufman, a man who once unsuccessfully pursued her sister, Rachel's attention is fixed on Milton Beiler. Milton hasn't paid Rachel the least bit of attention, and worse still, he's on rumspringa and conflicted about permanently joining the church. Meanwhile, Rebecca's world is turned upside-down when a tragic accident threatens her dreams of becoming John's frau. Despite the obstacles in her path, Rebecca remains steadfast in her faith. Will Rachel's love for Milton win out over his love for the world, and is Rebecca strong enough to face an uncertain future with John? Only the Lord has the answers the Mast sisters so desperately search for"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aMate selection$vFiction 606 $aTwin sisters$vFiction 606 $aAmish$vFiction 606 $aFICTION / Christian / Romance$2bisacsh 606 $aFICTION / Christian / Romance$2bisacsh 608 $aChristian fiction.$2gsafd 608 $aLove stories.$2gsafd 615 0$aMate selection 615 0$aTwin sisters 615 0$aAmish 615 7$aFICTION / Christian / Romance. 615 7$aFICTION / Christian / Romance. 676 $a813/.6 686 $aFIC042040$2bisacsh 700 $aEicher$b Jerry S.$01243554 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910157804503321 996 $aAlways close to home$92892776 997 $aUNINA
