This book tells a remarkable story that begins in classical antiquity with ecphrasis, the art of describing the world so vividly that the audience could become imaginative eyewitnesses, and the events that caused an ideal of immediacy to be transformed into nearly its opposite, a preoccupation with representation of representation.
The Illusion of Ignorance examines the cultural politics of the American encounter with Porfirian Mexico as a precursor and model for the twentieth-century American encounter with the world ... The Illusion of Ignorance argues that American ignorance of the experience of other nations is not so much a barrier to better understanding of the world, but a strategy Americans have chosen to maintain their vision of the U.S. relationship with the world."--Back cover.
COLLAGE 4th EDITION is a thorough and beautiful revision of one of the most widely used and highly respected programs for intermediate French courses. As in previous editions, COLLAGE is a component program. COLLAGE 4th EDITION now consists of 3 volumes -- a review grammar, a cultural reader, and a literary reader -- that are coordinated by theme and by language, chapter by chapter, across all 3 books. The result is a very flexible program that can be used in any combination and so is easily adapted to suit a wide variety of instructors and courses. The new edition of COLLAGE retains the flexible format that works so well in the classroom but offers a new look and new features, along with refreshing new readings and a streamlined grammar presentation. The fourth edition of COLLAGE also introduces students to francophone countries and cultures throughout all of the components.
