    Book SynopsisThese essays reveal Mikhail Bakhtin (1895-1975)--known in the West largely through his studies of Rabelais and Dostoevsky--as a philosopher of language, a cultural historian, and a major theoretician of the novel.Trade ReviewThis magnificently edited and translated volume can be the beginning of a dialogue that will go beyond the monographic works of Bakhtin available in English up to now. -- Edward Wasiolek * Comparative Literature *We are only now realizing, 20 years after the first English language translation of his work, that Bakhtin is one of the giants of 20th century social and cultural theory. * Voice Literary Supplement *Returning us to an art of possibilities, not of answers, Bakhtin's dialogic imagination resembles a dialectical wrestling match with no referee and no winner. In the empyrean of literary theory, it's exactly what we need, now and then. * Genre *Table of Contents Acknowledgments A Note on Translation Introduction Epic and Novel From the Prehistory of Novelistic Discourse Forms of Time and of the Chronotope in the Novel Discourse in the Novel Glossary Index

  • Conspiracy Theory in America

    Book SynopsisEver since the Warren Commission concluded that a lone gunman assassinated President John F. Kennedy, people who doubt that finding have been widely dismissed as conspiracy theorists, despite credible evidence that right-wing elements in the CIA, FBI, and Secret Service—and possibly even senior government officials—were also involved. Why has suspicion of criminal wrongdoing at the highest levels of government been rejected out-of-hand as paranoid thinking akin to superstition?Conspiracy Theory in America investigates how the Founders’ hard-nosed realism about the likelihood of elite political misconduct—articulated in the Declaration of Independence—has been replaced by today’s blanket condemnation of conspiracy beliefs as ludicrous by definition. Lance deHaven-Smith reveals that the term “conspiracy theory” entered the American lexicon of political speech to deflect criticism of the Warren Commission and traces it back Trade ReviewAn intriguing take on the origins and implications of conspiracy theories and the paranoid mindset itself. . . . Confronted with these compelling arguments, even the most incredulous readers will find themselves questioning their own preconceived notions of paranoia, governmental transparency, and conspiracy theorists. * Publishers Weekly *Table of Contents List of Illustrations and Tables Acknowledgments Introduction: High-Crime Blind A Curious History A Flawed and Un-American Label Naming the Taboo Topic Perceptual Silos Causes and Consequences The CIA’s Conspiracy-Theory Conspiracy The Rest of the Book Chapter 1: The Conspiracy-Theory Label Perspectives on Conspiracy Beliefs The Assassination of President Kennedy The Single-Bullet (or “Magic-Bullet”) Theory The Assumption Someone Would Talk Flawed Definitions The Term’s Meaning in Practice A SCAD Hypothesis Reforms after President Kennedy’s Assassination Chapter 2: The American Tradition of Conspiracy Belief The Political Science of the Founders Conspiracy Theories of the Founders The Sedition Act of 1798 and the “Burr Conspiracy” The Dialectic of Corruption and Reform Conspiracy Charges at Nuremberg How Conspiracy Deniers Misread History Chapter 3: Conspiracy Denial in the Social Sciences The Transformation of U.S. Social Science Philosophical Perspectives on Conspiracy Theory The Conspiracy Theories of Charles Beard Popper’s Critique of the "Conspiracy Theory of Society” Strauss on “Noble Lies” and “Salutary Myths” American Neoconservatism Chapter 4: The Conspiracy-Theory Conspiracy Subtle Speech Decoding the Dispatch CIA “Collaborator” John P.

    Book SynopsisJohn Kenn Mortensen's pen is full of wonderfully creepy monsters which crawl onto sticky yellow note pads when darkness falls.Here we have collected some of the best monster drawings in a delectable hardback edition.Trade ReviewI’ve probably already seen more monsters than most do in their whole life, but I’m still none the wiser as to why some monsters work and others don’t. I know even less about why certain monsters push a special button at the back of my brain, evoking all kinds of half-forgotten dreams and feverish imaginings from my earliest childhood. What I do know is that John's monsters absolutely hit the spot * Geek Culture *Mortensen's drawings are quite wonderful. The yellow sticky canvas is transformed, the monsters come to life, each with their own personality. And oh, how many monsters and so many types: forest monsters, ghouls, ghost monsters, continental monsters, furry monsters, twin monsters, tentacled monsters, fish monsters, invisible monsters and a single human monster .... It is an incredibly fine concept. Each one completely individual and irrepressible. The monsters are cute at the same time as sinister, and often have a slightly Victorian vibe – tentacles and tweed * Naked Literature Magazine *
