    Unsettling Nature (eBook, ePUB)
    The German poet and mystic Novalis once identified philosophy as a form of homesickness. More than two centuries later, as modernity's displacements continue to intensify, we feel Novalis's homesickness more than ever. Yet nowhere has a longing for home flourished more than in contemporary environmental thinking, and particularly in eco-phenomenology. If only we can reestablish our sense of material enmeshment in nature, so the logic goes, we might reverse the degradation we humans have wrought-and in saving the earth we can once again dwell in the nearness of our own being. Unsettling Nature opens with a meditation on the trouble with such ecological homecoming narratives, which bear a close resemblance to narratives of settler colonial homemaking. Taylor Eggan demonstrates that the Heideggerian strain of eco-phenomenology-along with its well-trod categories of home, dwelling, and world-produces uncanny effects in settler colonial contexts. He reads instances of nature's defamiliarization not merely as psychological phenomena but also as symptoms of the repressed consciousness of coloniality. The book at once critiques Heidegger's phenomenology and brings it forward through chapters on Willa Cather, D. H. Lawrence, Olive Schreiner, Doris Lessing, and J. M. Coetzee. Suggesting that alienation may in fact be "natural" to the human condition and hence something worth embracing instead of repressing, Unsettling Nature concludes with a speculative proposal to transform eco-phenomenology into "exo-phenomenology"-an experiential mode that engages deeply with the alterity of others and with the self as its own Other.

    My Little Bit of Country is a short story from the collection Central Park.Central Park is perhaps the most well-trod and familiar green space in the country.

Unsurprisingly, the park also inspires a wealth of great writing, and here Andrew Blauner collects some of the finest fiction and nonfiction - 20 pieces in all, with classics sprinkled among 13 new ones commissioned from great New York writers.Bill Buford spends a wild night in the park; Jonathan Safran Foer envisions it as a tiny, transplanted piece of a mythical Sixth Borough; and Marie Winn answers definitively Holden Caulfield's question of where the ducks go when the park's ponds freeze over. There are bird sightings and fish sightings; Jackie Kennedy and James Brown sightings; and pieces by Colson Whitehead, Paul Auster, and Francine Prose.

    For One Night Only: The Civil War, the Brothers Booth and Shakespeare in Central Park , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 27min
    Three sons of the London-born actor Junius Brutus Booth followed in their father’s footsteps and became eminent tragedians of the 19th-century American stage, bringing the drama of William Shakespeare to audiences across the country and helping to secure the Bard’s legacy for generations to come. Junius, Jr., “June” among the family, was the eldest and namesake who sought his fame and fortune out west, eventually becoming a successful actor and theater manager in Gold Rush-era San Francisco. Edwin, with his brooding good looks, gift of voice and naturalistic acting style, trod the boards as far as Australia before settling in New York. The youngest, John Wilkes, epitomized the contemporary matinee idol. Handsome, ambitious, possessed of raw natural talent but erratic and undisciplined both on stage and off, he established his reputation in Richmond before setting his sights on Washington, D.C. When the brothers Booth gathered in New York during the fall of 1864 to stage a benefit production of William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar, the quintessential tragedy of political assassination and its aftermath, it was their first professional appearance together. Political assassination and its aftermath assured it would be their last. Given their family dynamics and the ongoing Civil War, it was nothing short of a theatrical miracle that the production came off at all. ungekürzt. Language: English.
