Understanding Bakhtin, Understanding Modernism
Explores and illuminates the impact of the Russian philosopher Mikhail Bakhtin on our understanding of literary modernism. This volume explores the subject of modernism as seen through the lens of Bakhtinian criticism and in doing so offers a rounded and up-to-date example of the application of Bakhtinian theory to a field of research.The contributors consider the global spread of modernism and the variety of its manifestations as well as modernism’s relationship to popular culture and its collective elaboration, which are dominant concerns in Bakhtin’s thinking.As with other volumes in the Understanding Philosophy, Understanding Modernism series, the volume is divided into three parts.Part 1 provides readings of Bakhtin’s work in the context of literary modernism.Part 2 features case studies of modernist art and artists and their relation to Bakhtinian theory. The final part provides a glossary of key terms in Bakhtin’s work.

Understanding Cavell, Understanding Modernism
Stanley Cavell, undoubtedly one of the most singular and influential voices in contemporary philosophy, has written extensively on modernist art – particularly on painting, photography, music, and literature.He has also dedicated an impressive body of work to cinema, whose complex and nuanced status in regard to modernism constitutes one of Cavell’s main concerns.However, Cavell’s importance for understanding modernism is not exhausted by his interest in, and analyses of, modernist art and literature.Equally significant, and perhaps even more original, is his understanding of ordinary language philosophy as a modernist enterprise in its own terms.Following the template for the Understanding Philosophy, Understanding Modernism series, this volume is divided into three distinct parts.The first part, "Conceptualizing Cavell," features introductory essays on Cavell’s most important works.The second part, "Cavell and Aesthetics," delves into more specific aspects and problems pertaining to Cavell’s aesthetics and its moral and political implications.The third part is an extended glossary of Cavell’s key words and concepts.

Understanding Nancy, Understanding Modernism
Over the past three decades, Jean-Luc Nancy has become one of the most celebrated contemporary philosophers.His remarkably diverse body of work, which deals with such topics as post-Heideggerian ontology, Christian painting, the experience of drunkenness, heart transplants, contemporary cinema and the problem of freedom, is entirely "immersed" in modernity, as he puts it.Within this plural framework, art – which he explicitly defines as a modern construct – plays a singular role in that it is the very prism through which he explores the problems of sense and feeling in general, particularly as they relate to “our” experience of modernity.The contributors to Understanding Nancy, Understanding Modernism fully delve into the heretofore under-acknowledged and under-explored modernism of Nancy’s writings on philosophy and the arts through close readings of his key works as well as broader essays on the relationship between his thought and aesthetic modernity. In addition to an interview with Nancy himself, a final section consists of an extended glossary of Nancy’s signature terms, which will be a valuable resource for students and experts alike.

Understanding Identity
Identity matters, but it matters in different ways at different times.Identity is a buzz word that we often hear about in all sorts of contexts, ranging from the concern with the self expressed through therapy, to identity crises that operate on the global arena, especially post 9/11. This book charts some of the most important identity stories that make up people's lives and inform debates within the social sciences.It is organised around the big questions: How can we feel we belong in a constantly transforming, uncertain world?Can we exercise control in shaping our identities? Does an emphasis on the fluidity of identity produce another set of uncertainties?What is the link between the personal and the social in the formation of identities? Each chapter explores personal and collective identities drawing on varied examples highlighting the importance of gender, race, and ethnicity, embodiment and place in the production of meanings about who we are. Understanding Identity is about debates located within a history of understanding the self and of belonging, developing an argument about thinking through the tension between theories based on fixity and fluidity, drawing on an extensive range of identity stories, from different empirical sources as well as the long history of theorising identity.

Theories are presented clearly in accessible language with the main purpose of shedding light on the data, rather than as a goal in themselves.The authors consistently draw on the best research available, thus utilizing and discussing both functionalist and generative theoretical approaches. Each chapter includes a summary, suggestions for further reading, and exercises.As such this is the ideal book for both beginning students of linguistics, or anyone in a related discipline looking for a first introduction to morphology.
