Eighteenth-Century Illustration and Literary Material Culture : Richardson, Thomson, Defoe
This Element studies eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century instances of transmediation, concentrating on how the same illustrations were adapted for new media and how they generated novel media constellations and meanings for these images.Focusing on the 'content' of the illustrations and its adaptation within the framework of a new medium, case studies examine the use across different media of illustrations (comprehending both the designs for book illustrations and furniture prints) of three eighteenth-century works: Defoe's Robinson Crusoe (1719), Thomson's The Seasons (1730) and Richardson's Pamela (1740).These case studies reveal how visually enhanced material culture not only makes present the literary work, including its characters and story-world.But they also demonstrate how, through processes of transmediation, changes are introduced to the illustration that affect comprehension of that work.This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Culture
One of our most brilliant minds offers a sweeping intellectual history that argues for the reclamation of culture’s value Culture is a defining aspect of what it means to be human.Defining culture and pinpointing its role in our lives is not, however, so straightforward.Terry Eagleton, one of our foremost literary and cultural critics, is uniquely poised to take on the challenge.In this keenly analytical and acerbically funny book, he explores how culture and our conceptualizations of it have evolved over the last two centuries—from rarified sphere to humble practices, and from a bulwark against industrialism’s encroaches to present-day capitalism’s most profitable export.Ranging over art and literature as well as philosophy and anthropology, and major but somewhat "unfashionable" thinkers like Johann Gottfried Herder and Edmund Burke as well as T.S. Eliot, Matthew Arnold, Raymond Williams, and Oscar Wilde, Eagleton provides a cogent overview of culture set firmly in its historical and theoretical contexts, illuminating its collusion with colonialism, nationalism, the decline of religion, and the rise of and rule over the "uncultured" masses.Eagleton also examines culture today, lambasting the commodification and co-option of a force that, properly understood, is a vital means for us to cultivate and enrich our social lives, and can even provide the impetus to transform civil society.

Tony Sarg: Genius at Play : Adventures in Illustration, Puppetry, and Popular Culture
Tony Sarg (1880-1942), an American artist born in Guatemala to a diplomatic family, first achieved professional success as an illustrator in London and New York.But in the 1920s, he gained even greater renown for his touring puppet shows based on classic tales like Alice in Wonderland and Robinson Crusoe.Fusing the time-honoured craft of traditional marionette shows with a playful modern sensibility, Sarg's productions were foundational to American puppetry: Jim Henson can be considered a direct artistic descendant.Yet this was only one facet of Sarg's varied accomplishments: he was also a pioneer in animated films and children's books, and, as a longtime designer for Macy's, he invented the gigantic balloons used in the firm's Thanksgiving Day Parade. (He also employed one of his parade balloons in the famous Nantucket Sea Serpent hoax of 1937.) This abundantly illustrated volume, published to coincide with a major exhibition organised by the Norman Rockwell Museum, is the first to survey Tony Sarg's protean career.It brings together imagery and artifacts from numerous public and private collections, and includes special sections on Sarg's long association with the island of Nantucket and his influence on American puppetry.Tony Sarg: Genius at Play will be essential reading for anyone with an interest in the history of popular culture.

Unpopular Culture
Money is the key to happiness. Work hard, play hard. Look out for number one. Popular culture is full of phrases like these, telling us the best way to live, the right things to buy, the right body shape to have, the right people to hang out with.These messages are everywhere we look, 24 hours a day. But what if there was another way to live?What if we chose to live differently: to stand against injustice, to live life for more than just ourselves, to dare to be unpopular?Guvna B is rebelling against the status quo, and he’s calling you to join him. It’s time to flip the script, to demonstrate another way to live, to find freedom in going against the grain. It’s time for unpopular culture to take the stage.

Unhuman Culture
It is widely acknowledged that the unhuman plays a significant role in the definition of humanity in contemporary thought.It appears in the thematization of "the Other" in philosophical, psychoanalytic, anthropological, and postcolonial studies, and shows up in the "antihumanism" associated with figures such as Heidegger, Foucault, and Derrida.One might trace its genealogy, as Freud did, to the Copernican, Darwinian, and psychoanalytic revolutions that displaced humanity from the center of the universe. Or as Karl Marx and others suggested, one might lose human identity in the face of economic, technological, political, and ideological forces and structures. With dazzling breadth, wit, and intelligence, Unhuman Culture ranges over literature, art, and theory, ancient to postmodern, to explore the ways in which contemporary culture defines humanity in terms of all that it is not.Daniel Cottom is equally at home reading medieval saints' lives and the fiction of Angela Carter, plumbing the implications of Napoleon's self-coronation and the attacks of 9/11, considering the paintings of Pieter Bruegel and the plastic-surgery-as-performance of the body artist Orlan. For Cottom, the unhuman does not necessarily signify the inhuman, in the sense of conspicuous or extraordinary cruelty.It embraces, too, the superhuman, the supernatural, the demonic, and the subhuman; the supposedly disjunctive animal, vegetable, and mineral kingdoms; the realms of artifice, technology, and fantasy.It plays a role in theoretical discussions of the sublime, personal memoirs of the Holocaust, aesthetic reflections on technology, economic discourses on globalization, and popular accounts of terrorism.Whereas it once may have seemed that the concept of culture always, by definition, pertained to humanity, it now may seem impossible to avoid the realization that we must look at things differently.It is not only art, in the narrow sense of the word, that we must recognize as unhuman.For better or worse, ours is now an unhuman culture.

Before diving into CRIPPLES' latest album, "Culturein," I couldn't help but wonder if this band could live up to their name. Would their music leave me feeling like a musical cripple, unable to move or think? Fortunately, that fear was quickly dispelled as soon as the first track blasted through my speakers. The album kicks off with a bang, with a blend of punk rock energy and quirky lyrics that immediately grab your attention. CRIPPLES effortlessly mix elements of indie rock, post-punk, and even a hint of pop to create a sound that is uniquely their own. Tracks like "London Calling" and "Tea and Crumpets" showcase the band's ability to write catchy hooks and infectious melodies that will have you tapping your toes and humming along in no time. The lyrics are witty and playful, reflecting the band's British roots with a healthy dose of humour and sarcasm. Despite the lighter moments, "Culturein" also delves into more introspective and emotional territory, with tracks like "Grey Skies" and "Lost in Translation" offering a more somber and reflective tone. CRIPPLES show a depth and maturity in their songwriting that is unexpected but welcome. Overall, "Culturein" is a delightful and refreshing listen that showcases CRIPPLES' talent and versatility. It's a must-listen for fans of quirky indie rock with a British twist. So grab a cuppa, sit back, and let CRIPPLES take you on a musical journey that you won't soon forget.
