M2: Repetitions

Diane Dufor


  M2: Repetitions  Diane Dufor  Book Description M is a biannual journal that explores the role of photography beyond its usual illustrative, commercial, or purely journalistic purposes by addressing the issue of its documentary value. Juxtaposing iconic images from the past withthe recent work of Magnum photographers, its aim is to question the status of the photographic document and unveil the scope and the diversity of the approaches to the real within Magnum Photos. This issue is devoted to the theme of repetitions (in a Deleuzian context). The notion of repetition is opposed to that of the Book Description M is a biannual journal that explores the role of photography beyond its usual illustrative, commercial, or purely journalistic purposes by addressing the issue of its documentary value.

This issue is devoted to the theme of repetitions (in a Deleuzian context). The notion of repetition is opposed to that of the "decisive moment" and undermines the singularity of each image. The process of repetition emphasizes the position of the author and involves a building up, an obsession, a demonstration, sometimes a narrative: the fixed but constantly moving viewpoint in Paul Fusco's Funeral Train , the obstinate quest for "lost moments" in Raymond Depardon's Errance , and the theatrical form of Alex Majoli's One Vote ......

The Year's Best Australian Science Fiction And Fantasy

Derryl Murphy


  The Year's Best Australian Science Fiction And Fantasy  Derryl Murphy  Prime Books.   For readers accustomed to massive Prime Books. For readers accustomed to massive "year's best" anthologies, this Australian import may seem lightweight with only 11 tales, but it's a fine sampling of mostly cross-genre fiction from Down Under. Lynette Aspey's endearing, character-driven "Dreaming Dragons" plays with Vietnamese myth. Terry Dowling's "Flashmen," a gripping tale of a future Earth beset by a truly alien invasion, explores the meaning of heroism. Brendan D. Carson's "Occam's Razing" is a short but highly imaginative story of religious contagion. Damien Broderick offers a thoughtful postnanotech fable, "The Meek." In "The Dreaming City" by Ben Peek, Mark Twain dreams of an encounter with an aboriginal spirit and is moved to write a book in defense of Australia's native population. Congreve and Marquart provide an excellent introduction to the vicissitudes of the Australian genre market, as well as information about publications and some recommended reading....

Henry David Thoreau and the Moral Agency of Knowing

Alfred I. Tauber


  Henry David Thoreau and the Moral Agency of Knowing  Alfred I. Tauber  Book DescriptionIn his graceful philosophical account, Alfred I. Tauber shows why Thoreau still seems so relevant today--more relevant in many respects than he seemed to his contemporaries. Although Thoreau has been skillfully and thoroughly examined as a writer, naturalist, mystic, historian, social thinker, Transcendentalist, and lifelong student, we may find in Tauber's portrait of Thoreau the moralist a characterization that binds all these aspects of his career together. Thoreau was caught at a critical turn in the history of science, between the ebb of Romanticism and the rising tide of positivism. He responded to the challenges posed by the new ideal of objectivity not by rejecting the scientific worldview, but by humanizing it for himself. Tauber portrays Thoreau as a man whose moral vision guided his life's work. Each of Thoreau's projects reflected a self-proclaimed Book DescriptionIn his graceful philosophical account, Alfred I.
