Content: How do our ceaseless conversations with what has passed and with those who have passed something on to us propel us into a precarious future? Examines one of the central human concerns – the problem of what it means to inherit an intellectual, cultural, and political legacy – in a new lightArgues that to inherit always means to interpret something that resists full transparencyDraws on a wide range of figures in philosophy, literature, political thought and the arts from the German, English, French and American traditionsOffers an engaging and highly topical intervention in the stakes and possible futures of the humanities todayIn a series of evocatively titled theses, including ‘Wrinkles’, ‘Inheriting a Feeling’, ‘Weight of the World’ and ‘Making Treasures Speak’, Gerhard Richter engages the quintessentially human dilemma of how to receive an intellectual, cultural or political inheritance. In dialogue with philosophers including Heraclitus, Arendt and Derrida; writers such as Montaigne, Hölderlin, Kafka and Knausgaard; artists such as Michelangelo, Picasso, Anselm Kiefer and Art Spiegelman; filmmakers such as Jean-Marie Straub; scholars and scientists Freud and Einstein; and pop-cultural phenomena the rock band The Who and the Broadway play The Inheritance, Richter contemplates the problem of interpreting an inheritance that resists full transparency. Richter argues that inheriting is not the same as yearning for a former presence or nostalgically striving to preserve an identity. At once philosophical and poetic, his aphoristic theses illuminate how the constantly shifting nature of our relationship to what we inherit from others makes us who we are

Content: " Featured on the Most Anticipated lists for Town & Country , Book Riot , Lit Hub , Publishers Weekly , Autostraddle , and Lambda Literary .It's shocking to learn that this is McBride's first book ... Eat Your Minddoes everything a good biography should and more8212 Los Angeles Times The first full-scale authorized biography of the pioneering experimental novelist Kathy Acker, one of the most original and controversial figures in 20th-century American literature Twenty-five years after her death, Acker is having a resurgence. 8212 The New York TimesKathy Acker (19478211 1997) was a rare and almost inconceivable thing: a celebrity experimental writer. Twenty-five years after her death, she remains one of the most original, shocking, and controversial artists of her era. The author of visionary, transgressive novels like Blood and Guts in High School , Empire of the Senseless ,and Pussy, King of Pirates , Acker wrote obsessively about the treachery of love, the limitations of language, and the possibility of revolution. She was notorious for her methods8212 collaging together texts stolen from other writers with her own diaries, sexual fantasies, and blunt political critiques8212 as well as her appearance. With her punkish hairstyles, tattoos, and couture outfits she looked like no other writer before or after. Her work was exceptionally prescient, taking up complicated conversations about gender, sex, capitalism, and colonialism that continue today. Acker's life was as unruly and radical as her writing. Raised in a privileged but oppressive Upper East Side Jewish family, she turned her back on that world as soon as she could, seeking a life of romantic and intellectual adventure that led her to, and through, many of the most thrilling avant-garde and countercultural moments in America: the births of conceptual art and experimental music,the poetry wars of the 60s and 70s,the mainstreaming of hardcore porn,No Wave cinema and New Narrative writing,Riot grrls, biker chicks, cyberpunks. As this definitive biography shows, Acker was not just a singular writer, she was also a titanic cultural force who tied together disparate movements in literature, art, music, theatre, and film. A feat of literary biography, Eat Your Mind is the first full-scale, authorized life of Acker. Drawing on exclusive interviews with hundreds of Acker's intimates as well as her private journals, correspondence, and early drafts of her work, acclaimed journalist and critic Jason McBride offers a thrilling account and a long overdue reassessment of a misunderstood genius and revolutionary artist."

Content: Biographisches: "Jason McBride's work has appeared in The New York Times Magazine , New York magazine, The Believer , The Village Voice , The Globe and Mail (Toronto), Hazlitt , and many others. He lives in Toronto. Eat Your Mind is his first book." Rezension(2): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: Starred review from August 15, 2022 Critic McBride investigates novelist Kathy Acker’s fiery personality and artistic inspiration in this comprehensive biography. McBride shows how Acker, who died in 1997, became a beloved name in experimental writing communities for her fragmentary novels depicting sexual promiscuity, queerness, prostitution, trauma, and incest. McBride finds it to be more than sensationalism: “For all of her books’ vivid vulgarity, they asked fundamental questions. How do I cope with the pain of being unloved? What is good art? What is art good for? What knowledge exists outside our conscious minds?” Five sections, starting at Acker’s birth in Manhattan in 1947 and ending at her funeral, cover about a decade each and examine the changes and developments in Acker’s personal and professional lives. Though McBride accepts that certain details of Acker’s biography must be “enclosed in quotation marks” because of her belief that “binary divisions between fantasy and reality... are false”), he manages to bring together her diaries, novels, poems, plays, and letters with reminiscences from her friends, lovers, and collaborators for a full portrait of her life. To McBride, inconsistencies or contradictions are revealing: “She didn’t seek to be solved. Holes are escape routes, openings. They lead to unknown possibilities.” The result is an excellent addition to American literary history." Rezension(3): "〈a href=http://www.kirkusreviews.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/kirkus_logo.png alt=Kirkus border=0 /〉〈/a〉: October 15, 2022 The tumultuous life of a singular artist. Journalist McBride makes his book debut with a perceptive, thoroughly researched biography of the experimental writer Kathy Acker (1947-1997), self-identified as queer, whose publications included 13 groundbreaking novels, two novellas, screenplays, poetry, libretti, essays, and criticism. In 1988, McBride, then a college sophomore at the University of Toronto, heard her read and was mesmerized both by Acker's tattooed muscles and her fusion of sex and literature, the streets and the academy. Her iconoclastic works featured a heady collage of scenes, phrases, characters, and ideas from texts both canonical and otherwise, juxtaposed with shards of her own diaries, sexual fantasies, gossip, political screeds, and blunt critiques of capitalism, liberalism, patriarchy, and language. She also clawed at childhood wounds caused by a cold, controlling mother and a father, she was stunned to learn, who was really a stepfather. Acker's biological father had abandoned her mother when she was three months pregnant. The seesaw of seduction and betrayal that began in childhood became a lifelong torment. McBride recounts Acker's love affairs, sexual liaisons, two failed marriages, semi-regular abortions, sex work, and emotional afflictions--depression, anxiety, fear of abandonment--all of which fueled the writing that McBride closely examines. She wrote, McBride asserts, to figure out why she acted in certain ways, why she thought in certain ways, how her memory worked, how experience was perceived and processed and represented. Furthermore, she wrote to complicate herself. Acker could be infuriatingly self-absorbed and needy. She pushed people away as soon as they came close, writes McBride, and then resented them for leaving her alone. Even when she attained literary success, she insisted she was an outcast, a traumatized street kid who had overcome enormous pain and adversity. Informed by Acker's published works, private papers, and many interviews, McBride presents a persuasive case for her enduring significance as an icon of unorthodoxy. A brisk, engaging literary biography. COPYRIGHT(2022) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. " Rezension(4): "〈a href=https://www.booklistonline.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/booklist_logo.png alt=Booklist border=0 /〉〈/a〉: Starred review from December 1, 2022 Built from hundreds of interviews and Kathy Acker's voluminous notes and diaries, this monumental work details every facet of the remarkable and complicated life of a radical and influential writer who tragically died young in 1997. Acker's unsettled childhood in New York partly led to her lifelong dedication to her craft, as writing and reading became an escape,she also used writing as an act of self-mythologizing. McBride explains Acker's central place in many avant-garde art scenes and how Acker was a contradictory presence, an inspiration and a burden, generous and self-centered, and destructive and instructive. Acker married early (keeping that last name), and her many other relationships feature a lot in her fiction. Heavily influenced by William Burroughs, Patti Smith, Gertrude Stein, and the French provocateur Pierre Guyotat, Acker's DIY punk aesthetic and hyper-stylized prose meant she struggled to achieve recognition, having to take menial and tough jobs, including that of sex worker, but eventually she became a literary celebrity. McBride usefully traces a consistent focus on the body in her writing, such as her illuminating sexuality and tattoos. Stupendously well-researched and expertly constructed, this biography is a touchstone for anyone interested in a writer whose life was often as outlandish as her fiction.

Content: " A new biography of Carl Linnaeus, offering a vivid portrait of Linnaeus's life and work Carl Linnaeus (17078211 1778), known as the father of modern biological taxonomy, formalized and popularized the system of binomial nomenclature used to classify plants and animals. Linnaeus himself classified thousands of species,the simple and immediately recognizable abbreviation L is used to mark classifications originally made by Linnaeus. This biography, by the leading authority on Linnaeus, offers a vivid portrait of Linnaeus's life and work. Drawing on a wide range of previously unpublished sources8212 including diaries and personal correspondence8212 as well as new research, it presents revealing and original accounts of his family life, the political context in which he pursued his work, and his eccentric views on sexuality. The Man Who Organized Nature describes Linnaeus's childhood in a landscape of striking natural beauty and how this influenced his later work. Linnaeus's Lutheran pastor father, knowledgeable about plants and an enthusiastic gardener, helped foster an early interest in botany. The book examines the political connections that helped Linnaeus secure patronage for his work, and untangles his ideas about sexuality. These were not, as often assumed, an attempt to naturalize gender categories but more likely reflected the laissez-faire attitudes of the era. Linnaeus, like many other brilliant scientists, could be moody and egotistical,the book describes his human failings as well as his medical and scientific achievements. Written in an engaging and accessible style, The Man Who Organized Nature 8212 one of the only biographies of Linnaeus to appear in English8212 provides new and fascinating insights into the life of one of history's most consequential and enigmatic scientists. "

Content: Biographisches: " Gunnar Broberg (19428211" Rezension(2): "-Kathryn Schulz, New Yorker :If categorization is crucial to making sense of the world, how should we classify Carl Linnaeus? . Broberg's biography dutifully accompanies Linnaeus every step of the way." Rezension(3): "〈a href=http://www.kirkusreviews.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/kirkus_logo.png alt=Kirkus border=0 /〉〈/a〉: April 15, 2023 A Swedish scholar chronicles the life of the indispensable botanist and taxonomist. Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778) formalized the modern binomial system of naming organisms. Broberg (1942-2022), former professor emeritus of history of ideas and sciences at Sweden's Lund University, provides a detailed account of his subject's work as well as his darker aspects. The son of a country pastor, Linnaeus overcame poverty to impress scholars and acquire patrons, who financed expeditions across Sweden, beginning with a yearlong trek through Lapland, to document wildlife and people as well as economic possibilities. Beginning in his 20s, he published scores of books on botany and zoology, and his naming system gradually won over other naturalists. By middle age, he was world famous, and travelers deluged him with their discoveries. Definitely not ahead of his time, Linnaeus never doubted that all species came from the hand of God and remained unchanged, but he was a stickler for evidence. He rejected spontaneous generation and most legendary creatures (unicorns, dragons) that other naturalists accepted. That his classification of plants according to their sexual parts was denounced as obscene is probably exaggerated, but his conclusion that humans were animals shocked many contemporaries. Scholars still debate whether his classification of modern humans is racist, and Broberg digs into this element of his legacy. Writing for a general audience, the author mostly avoids turgid academic prose, but those who are less scientifically inclined may struggle with some passages. They can easily ignore the generous footnotes and bibliography but not the dense thicket of quotations. Within the text, if Linnaeus quarrels with a colleague, Broberg describes the disagreement and then follows with a long excerpt from a letter in which Linnaeus recites his complaints. Readers will lose little by skipping past any pair of quotation marks. Everything you ever wanted to know about Linnaeus and more. COPYRIGHT(2023) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. " Rezension(4): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: April 10, 2023 This mostly rewarding biography by Broberg ( The History of the Night ), who was a professor emeritus of history at Lund University, Sweden, before his death in 2022, chronicles the life of Carl Linnaeus (1707–1778), the Swedish scientist who developed the modern taxonomic system for classifying animals and plants. Linnaeus took an interest in nature from a young age and learned to identify the plants that grew around his childhood home. He studied botany at Uppsala University and soon after graduating revolutionized the natural sciences by advocating for the classification of each plant and animal by two Latin names (the first their genus, the second their species), as well as making the radical argument that humans should be included in the animal kingdom. Broberg illuminates the factors behind the actual work of science by delving into Linnaeus’s efforts to find patrons for his work, and the author’s diligent research, which draws on previously unpublished diaries and correspondence, brings the esteemed naturalist to life. However, the consideration of Linnaeus’s contributions to race science (his most famous work, Systema Naturae , designated four human “varieties” and placed them in a hierarchy) is glaringly brief. Though this skimps on the unsavory parts of Linnaeus’s legacy, it will otherwise satisfy history of science scholars. Illus."

Content: In Punctuation: Art, Politics, and Play, Jennifer DeVere Brody places punctuation at center stage. She illuminates the performative aspects of dots, ellipses, hyphens, "ation marks, semicolons, colons, and exclamation points by considering them in relation to aesthetics and experimental art. Through her readings of texts and symbols ranging from style guides to digital art, from emoticons to dance pieces, Brody suggests that instead of always clarifying meaning, punctuation can sometimes open up space for interpretation, enabling writers and visual artists to interrogate and reformulate notions of life, death, art, and identity politics.Brody provides a playful, erudite meditation on punctuation’s power to direct discourse and, consequently, to shape human subjectivity. Her analysis ranges from a consideration of typography as a mode for representing black subjectivity in Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man to a reflection on hyphenation and identity politics in light of Strunk and White’s prediction that the hyphen would disappear from written English. Ultimately, Brody takes punctuation off the “stage of the page” to examine visual and performance artists’ experimentation with non-grammatical punctuation. She looks at different ways that punctuation performs as gesture in dances choreographed by Bill T. Jones, in the hybrid sculpture of Richard Artschwager, in the multimedia works of the Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama, and in Miranda July’s film Me and You and Everyone We Know. Brody concludes with a reflection on the future of punctuation in the digital era.
