The Language of Silence
Author: Ernestine Schlant
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135961816
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 303
Book Description
Focusing on individual authors from Heinrich Boll to Gunther Grass, Hermann Lenz to Peter Schneider, The Language of Silence offers an analysis of West German literature as it tries to come to terms with the Holocaust and its impact on postwar West German society. Exploring postwar literature as the barometer of Germany's unconsciously held values as well as of its professed conscience, Ernestine Schlant demonstrates that the confrontation with the Holocaust has shifted over the decades from repression, circumvention, and omission to an open acknowledgement of the crimes. Yet even today a 'language of silence' remains since the victims and their suffering are still overlooked and ignored. Learned and exacting, Schlant's study makes an important contribution to our understanding of postwar German culture.

Mouths of Illusion: Beyond the Machine
Author: Nicholas Frost
Publisher: BookPOD
ISBN: 1763541010
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 41
Book Description
Mouths of Illusion: Beyond The Machine is a poem in 37 panels that anchors a contemporary multi-media installation, aligning with video, sculpture and soundscapes to searingly deconstruct the nature of the ego-mind, our mental-machine universe of language signs generating phantom meanings born of the self-other relationship. ‘Beyond’ the Machine lies experience alone, a borderless vision of freedom. The work speaks of Manufactured Optimism - our relentless meta-narrative of want in bright-brave utopias of ‘choice’ fanned by sensory-emotive-intellectual lures and pacifiers of instant gratification, where identities are fabricated in repeated automatising soundbite-therapy mantras in ever-subtler loops of self-hypnosis. Massive Discontent is the result: the ogre of untapped shadows, upwellings of doubt, ironic turnings, scams and diminishing returns of the unlimited totalising project of modern rationalism, wounding satires of alienation, soul’s dark night of victimisation… At last we say It’s Up To You, to birth responsibility, catharsis, sanity, refuge - in ageless truths and koans, where the materialist, polarising ego-mind dissolves to borderless here-now-this awareness beyond encrusting paradigms of subject-object, name, form, time, space, cause, flux, birth, death…
