Contemporary Fictions of Attention rejects this discourse of distraction-crisis which suggests that the future of reading is in peril, and instead finds that contemporary writers construct 'fictions of attention' that find some value in states or moments of inattention. Through discussion of work by a diverse selection of writers, including Joshua Cohen, Ben Lerner, Tom McCarthy, Ali Smith, Zadie Smith, and David Foster Wallace, this book identifies how fiction prompts readers to become peripherally aware of their own attention. Contemporary Fictions of Attention locates a common interest in attention within 21st-century fiction and connects this interest to a series of debates surrounding ethics, temporality, the everyday, boredom, work, and self-discipline in contemporary culture."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 517 3 $aReading and distraction in the 21st century 517 3 $aReading distraction in the twenty-first century 606 $aAmerican fiction$y21st century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAttention 606 $aBooks and reading$xPsychological aspects 606 $aDistraction (Psychology) 606 $aEnglish fiction$y21st century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFiction$y21st century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature and technology 606 $2Literary studies: fiction, novelists & prose writers 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAmerican fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAttention. 615 0$aBooks and reading$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aDistraction (Psychology) 615 0$aEnglish fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature and technology. 676 $a809.3/051 700 $aBennett$b Alice$f1982-$01065862 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910511718303321 996 $aContemporary fictions of attention$92548164 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03063nam 2200529 450 001 9910819860803321 005 20170919162434.0 010 $a1-57181-298-9 010 $a1-57181-299-7 010 $a0-85745-866-3 024 7 $a10.1515/9780857458667 035 $a(CKB)3710000000640935 035 $a(EBL)4461971 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4461971 035 $a(DE-B1597)637373 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780857458667 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000640935 100 $a20010824d2002 uy| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $2rdacontent 182 $2rdamedia 183 $2rdacarrier 200 14$aThe politics of education $eteachers and school reform in Weimar Germay /$fMarjorie Lamberti 210 1$aNew York :$cBerghahn Books,$d2002. 215 $a1 online resource (288 p.) 225 1 $aMonographs in German history ;$vvolume 8 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (pages 253-266) and index. 327 $aThe Politics of Education; CONTENTS; INTRODUCTION; Chapter 1.

SCHOOLTEACHERS AND THE NAZI MOVEMENT DURING THE CRISIS OF THE REPUBLIC; CONCLUSION; BIBLIOGRAPHY; INDEX 330 $aAlthough the early history of progressive education is often associated with John Dewey in America, the author argues convincingly that the pedagogues in the elementary schools in the big cities of Imperial Germany were in the avant garde of this movement on the European Continent. Far more than a history of ideas, this study provides the first comprehensive analysis of the culture wars over the schools in Germany in the 1920s. Going up to the Nazi seizure of power, the author's narrative sheds new light on the courageous defense of the republican state by the progressive educators in the 1930s and the relationship between the traditionalists' opposition to school reform and the attraction of certain sections of the teaching profession to the Nazi movement. 410 0$aMonographs in German history ;$vv. 8. 606 $aEducation$xPolitical aspects$zGermany$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aTeachers$xPolitical activity$zGermany$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aEducational change$zGermany$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aEducation$xPolitical aspects$xHistory 615 0$aTeachers$xPolitical activity$xHistory 615 0$aEducational change$xHistory 676 $a370/.943 700 $aLamberti$b Marjorie$f1937-$01662465 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819860803321 996 $aThe politics of education$94019177 997 $aUNINA
