Paperback. Condition: Very Good. A volume in the Cultural Studies Series edited by Samir Dayal An innovative and entertaining look at genre, popular culture, enjoyment, and psychoanalysis. Detective fiction, a category that, broadly defined, runs the gamut from Oedipus Rex to The Purloined Letter, continues to draw a range of fans and scholars, and to play a pivotal role in popular entertainment, contemporary literature, and psychoanalytic theory. But how do we derive pleasure from reading about or watching a detective's exploits? Is our enjoyment in the vicarious experience of genius? Or in witnessing the commission of a crime, an equally vicarious experience of violence? Resisting Arrest looks at the detective genre in its many different cultural manifestations, from popular fiction (Christie) to high literature (Eco), from art films (Antonioni) to popular television series (Monk). In each case, Rushing finds that detective stories have less to do with fulfilling our hidden desires, as psychoanalytic explanations have traditionally asserted, than with purposively thwarting them. He argues that the genre is in fact constituted principally by the promises on which it fails to deliver, including the vicarious experience of both genius (readers expecting to play Sherlock Holmes are almost always cast as Watson) and antisocial violence, so that our pleasure is based on what Slavoj Zizek has called the endless circulation around the always-missed object. Organized around the key ideas that structure the detective genre (Desire, Repetition, Violence), Resisting Arrest offers a thoroughly new interpretation that will appeal to scholars interested in questions about genre and cinema studies, popular culture, and psychoanalysis. …

Paperback. Condition: New. Introduces a new way of understanding influence, reception, and adaptation via the work of Italy's most famous modern writer In Transmedial Resonance, Robert A. Rushing addresses the remarkable and ongoing responses to the imagination of Italo Calvino, Italy's most important modern writer. Since his death in 1985, Calvino's writing has served as a constant figure of inspiration for other artists, and tellingly, that inspiration has been "more outside than inside." Although Calvino's reputation as a writer is immense, his influence has in fact been vastly larger outside of literature, including in architecture, city plan­ning, community organizing, design, visual arts, video games, the performing arts, and much more. That influence is not only transmedial. It has also been "more outside than inside" across national boundaries, particularly in the English-speaking world. Rushing thinks about Calvino's influence through the metaphor of resonance. When something resonates, he argues, it may be "inspired" to do so, but it does so in its own voice, singing its own song. In fact, resonance offers an entirely different way of thinking about influence and artistic reception, stressing the energy of the inspiration rather than fidelity to the original. In keeping with that underlying sonic metaphor, Rushing looks at specifically acoustic responses to Calvino. They include Chris Cerrone's Pulitzer-nominated "opera in headphones" based on Invisible Cities, Lisa Mezzacappa's Cosmicomics jazz suite, and Ashwini Ramaswamy's multimedia dance performance of Invisible Cities, which combines traditional South Indian Bharatanatyam, urban breaking, and African American modern dance. These works, Rushing shows, tell the story of a very different Calvino, one who is (in Mezzacappa's words) "nerdy and neurotic," playfully perverse, and profoundly political. Bringing together sound studies with literary studies and cultural reception, Transmedial Reso­nance argues for a radical re-imagination of how we think about artistic and cultural influence, calling for a completely new understanding of this major figure of modern Italian and world literature.…

Paperback. Condition: New. This book presents a groundbreaking exploration of the hit television series Orphan Black and the questions it raises for performance and technology, gender and reproduction and biopolitics and community.  Contributors come from a range of backgrounds and explore the digital innovations and technical interactions between human and machine that allow the show to challenge conventional notions of performance and identity, address family themes, and Orphan Black's own textual genealogy within the contexts of science, reproductive technology and the politics of gender, and extend their inquiry to the broader question of community in a "posthuman" world of biopolitical power. Mobilizing philosophy, history of science and literary theory, scholars analyze the ways in which Orphan Black depicts resistance to the many forms of power that attempt to capture, monitor and shape life today.…

Paperback or Softback. Condition: New. Transmedial Resonance: The Acoustic Afterlives of Italo Calvino. Book.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Introduces a new way of understanding influence, reception, and adaptation via the work of Italys most famous modern writer In Transmedial Resonance, Robert A. Rushing addresses the remarkable and ongoing responses to the imagination of Italo Calvino, Italys most important modern writer. Since his death in 1985, Calvinos writing has served as a constant figure of inspiration for other artists, and tellingly, that inspiration has been "more outside than inside." Although Calvinos reputation as a writer is immense, his influence has in fact been vastly larger outside of literature, including in architecture, city planning, community organizing, design, visual arts, video games, the performing arts, and much more.

Bringing together sound studies with literary studies and cultural reception, Transmedial Resonance argues for a radical re-imagination of how we think about artistic and cultural influence, calling for a completely new understanding of this major figure of modern Italian and world literature. Using the metaphor of resonance, this study redefines influence by showing how Calvinos imaginative legacy inspires responses beyond literature. Exploring responses in architecture, design, visual arts and performance, it unveils a vibrant interplay energizing cultural and artistic expression across boundaries.
