Naked Wanting

(University of Arizona Press, 2003)
ART 206

Come, step outside your human skin for just a little while.

Margo Tamez’s voice is that of the cicada and the cricket, the raven and the crane. In this volume of poetry, she shows us that the earth is an erotic current linking all beings, a vibrant network of birth, death, and rebirth. A sacred intertwining from which we as humans have become disconnected. Tamez shares the perspective of other creatures in images that remind us of Nature’s beauty and fragility. An invocation of birds: “Sudden hum / wings touching / wings in swift turn / hush / a fast red out of the flux.” An appreciation for the delicacy of insects, for spiderwebs “like a hundred needle-thin tubes of blown glass.”

Here too are reflections on childbirth and children—and on miscarriage, when damage inflicted on the environment by herbicides comes back to haunt all of us in our skin and bones, our very wombs. Warning of “the chemical cocktail seeping into the air ducts,” she brings the voice of someone who has experienced firsthand what happens when our land and water are compromised. For Tamez, earth, food, and family are the essentials of life, and we ignore them at our own peril. “If a person / does not admit the peril . . . that becomes a dangerous / form of existence.”

Written with the wisdom of one who knows and loves the land, her lyrical meditations speak to the naked wanting in us all.

The Art of Solidarity
Visual and Performative Politics in Cold War Latin America

(University of Texas Press, 2018)
ART 206

Examining artistic production in solidarity movements throughout the Cold War era, this multidisciplinary anthology reveals the tremendous role that art and performance have played in the quest for social justice in the Americas.

“This is the most dynamic and methodologically creative book I have read in any language on the cultural Cold War in the Americas. The editors have assembled eight stellar chapters (plus an introduction and epilogue) that combine analyses of cultural practices nationally and in contexts of transnational solidarities. In ranging theoretical and methodological contexts, the editors and contributors are concerned with the forms by which solidarity movements have been shaped by the arts, and vice versa. Solidarity, the editor’s note, presupposes empathy […]. and empathy is at the core of what the editors are out to discover. “Authors in this volume advocate vigorously for the examination of empathy as an embodied form of social and political action” (6). But this book is much more. Each chapter is a remarkable methodological workshop on the intersections of art and solidarity—how art is done as transnational solidarity,”

Cathedral Shrines of Medieval England

(The Boydell Press, 1998)
ART 206

Almost all of the great medieval shrines disappeared at the Reformation, yet for several centuries they were the outward and visible sign of the spiritual benefits believed to flow from proximity to the saint’s body, and an important witness to the spiritual life of the middle ages. They were the focal point of prayer and pilgrimage, but also a critical economic factor in the life of the church.

This first study devoted to cathedral shrines draws on surviving cathedral records to describe their nature and development in England from around 1066 to 1540. Both the development of the shrine itself and the monument enclosing the saint’s body are followed, and the connections between the chapel around the shrine and changes in church architecture considered. Accounts of the cathedral clergy who built and managed the shrines, the pilgrims who visited them, and the fluctuating fortunes of the cathedrals which housed them complete the book.

Same-Sex Desire
in Early Modern England, 1550-1735

(Manchester University Press, 2014)
ART 206

Balancing long-overlooked and well-known works from early modern England, Same-sex desire in early modern England, 1550-1735: An anthology of literary texts and contexts is a collection of English texts about homoerotic love, relationships, desires, and sexual acts.

The anthology’s core texts are selections from works of drama, fiction, romance, poetry, essays and translation. These core texts are carefully introduced and annotated, and supplemented with illuminating contextual material from other early modern disciplines such as law, medicine, and theology. Juxtaposing literary and non-literary representations of same-sex erotic desire, this anthology explores a rich tradition of works both celebrating and condemning same-sex erotic love, focusing on a balance between the period’s well-known homoerotic works, such as Shakespeare’s Sonnets, and those which have remained much more obscure, such as Catherine Trotter’s heroic drama Agnes de Castro.

Anatomy of a Girl Gang (Crne Ruže)
Croatian Translation

(EPH Media, 2015)
ART 206

A sharply observed novel narrated in six voices, Anatomy of a Girl Gang is the powerful exploration of a young girl gang in Vancouver called the Black Roses: Mac, the self-appointed leader and mastermind; Mercy, the Punjabi princess with a skill for theft; Kayos, their former classmate who gave birth to a daughter at age thirteen; Sly Girl, who fled her reserve for a better life, only to find depravity and addiction; and Z, a sixteen-year-old anti-establishment graffiti artist.

Cast out by mainstream society, the five girls terrorize Vancouver with a primal, restless urgency. Told with shocking and at times brutal honesty, Anatomy of a Girl Gang is a vivid and unnerving story of urban girl culture.

All of the People, All of the Time
American Government at the End of the Century

(Peter Lang, 1998)
ART 206

In the late twentieth century the effectiveness of government in the United States has come under profound strain. The burdens of superpower status have imposed contradictory demands on the populace, testing the national consensus on the ends of government at home and the goals of American power abroad. Partisan competition for the loyalty of the electorate, meanwhile, has eroded popular understanding of the founding principles of the republic. “You cannot,” said Lincoln, “fool all of the people all of the time.” But today the vitality of the American republic depends as never before on the refusal of its citizens to fool themselves.

The Primacy of Persons in Politics
Empiricism and Political Philosophy

(Catholic University of America Press, 2013)
ART 206

What is the nature of political activity? This question has vexed political thinkers since Plato wrote Statesman and remains challenging today. Contemporary intellectual categories obstruct individuals from understanding politics as a distinct species of activity with its own realm of expertise, modes, and ends. Instead politics is poorly directed by notions of achieving a complete or final end of affairs. It tends to be conflated with other types of activities and realms of life, including economics, power-seeking, and law and procedure. As a result, politics often is untethered from morality.

Taking as their departure point the political-philosophical analyses of German scholar Tilo Schabert, the philosophical and empirical essays in this volume invite the reader to move beyond the sterile dichotomy of political activity as either pure will or as folded into a more manageable activity. The contributors argue that politics is a highly creative human activity that eludes capture within a final and static analytical framework, concluding that ethical political action is indeed part of the essence of politics.

The Government Generation
Canadian Intellectuals and the State 1900–1945

(The University of Toronto Press, 1986)
ART 203

War, depression, secularization, urbanization, and the rise of industry – between 1900 and 1945, Canada struggled with all these developments, and from them was born the modern welfare state. New services were created, along with new taxes to pay for them and expanded bureaucracies to administer them. Government activity grew enormously; so did government expenditures. The role of the state in a modern industrialized society became the focus of a lively and continuing debate for two generations of intellectual reformers.

Doug Owram looks back at that debate and the academics, civil servants, and political activists who engaged in it. Adam Short, W.L. Grant, Frank Underhill, W.C. Clark, Harold Innis, and many others exchanged ideas – sometimes cautiously, sometimes passionately – about the wisdom of planning and reform, and on practical schemes for their realization. Owram explores the reforming impulse and its political dimension: the impact of warm and depression on attitudes to the state, the League of Social Reconstruction and its relations with the CCF, R.B. Bennett’s New Deal, and the various changes of heart experienced over forty years by Mackenzie King.

The Canada that emerged from the Second World War was very different from the one that had existed at the turn of the century. Relations between the individual and the state had altered drastically and irrevocably. The people examined in this book and the social and political movements in which they believed helped shape Canada’s response to powerful forces that were changing its way of life forever.

ART 203

The Broadview Anthology of Sixteenth-Century Poetry and Prose makes available not only extensive selections from the works of canonical writers, but also substantial extracts from writers who have either been neglected in earlier anthologies or only relatively recently come to the attention of twentieth- and twenty-first-century scholars and teachers. Popular fiction and prose nonfiction are especially well represented, including selections from popular romances, merchant fiction, sensation pamphlets, sermons, and ballads.

The texts are extensively annotated, with notes both explaining unfamiliar words and providing cultural and historical contexts.

Argument
Critical Thinking, Logic and the Fallacies (2nd edn)

(Prentice Hall, 2004)
ART 203

This book is designed for use in critical-thinking courses and traditional logic courses in both philosophy and general-education departments. It will be of interest to students at both the university and college level. The book emphasizes developments in modern logic and the connections between logic and other disciplines. Discussion of the fallacies is helpfully integrated with modern logic in a way not seen in other texts. The book provides students with the tools they need to evaluate their own thinking, as well as many classic arguments found in the history of logic. More than simply a collection of logic exercises, the book gives readers an understanding of some of the most interesting theoretical developments in logic and critical thinking from Aristotle to the present day.
