Pitch and Revelation

Reconfigurations of Reading, Poetry, and Philosophy Through the Work of Jay Wright

By: Will Daddario,Matthew Goulish

Pitch and Revelation is the first book-length study of the poetry, prose, and dramatic literature of the African American poet Jay Wright (1934-). The authors premise their reading on joy as a foundational philosophical concept. In this, they follow Spinoza, who understood joy as that affect necessary for the construction of an intellectual love of God, leading into the infinite univocity of everything. Similarly, with Wright, joy leads to a visceral sense of what the authors call the great weave of the world. This weave is akin to the notion of entanglement made popular by physicists and contemporary scholars of Science Studies, such as Karen Barad, which speaks of the always ongoing, mutually constitutive connections of all matter and intellectual processes. By exhibiting and detailing the joy of reading Wright, Pitch and Revelation intends to help others chart their own paths into the intellectual, musical, and rhythmical territories of Wright's world so as to more fully experience joy in the world generally. Although the exhibitions of meaning making presented are instructive, they do not follow the "do as I do" or "do as I say" model of instructional texts. Instead,they invite the reader to "do along with us" as the authors make meaning from selections across Wright's erudite, dense, rhythmically fascinating, endlessly lyrical, highly structured, and seemingly hermetic body of work."--publisher's website.

Baroque, Venice, Theatre, Philosophy

By: Will Daddario

This book theorizes the baroque as neither a time period nor an artistic style but as a collection of bodily practices developed from clashes between governmental discipline and artistic excess, moving between the dramaturgy of Jesuit spiritual exercises, the political theatre-making of Angelo Beolco (aka Ruzzante), and the civic governance of the Venetian Republic at a time of great tumult. The manuscript assembles plays seldom read or viewed by English-speaking audiences, archival materials from three Venetian archives, and several secondary sources on baroque, Renaissance, and early modern epistemology in order to forward and argument for understanding the baroque as a gathering of social practices. Such a rethinking of the baroque aims to complement the already lively studies of neo-baroque aesthetics and ethics emerging in contemporary scholarship on (for example) Latin American political art.

Will

By: Will Smith

L'une des plus grandes stars de notre époque se révèle pour la première fois dans un livre courageux et inspirant de ses débuts à son incroyable succès qu'il lui a fallu faire rimer avec bonheur et relations humaines. Will raconte l'un des parcours les plus exceptionnels du monde de la musique et du cinéma. Enfant des quartiers de Philadelphie, Will Smith est devenu l'un des plus grands rappeurs de sa génération, puis l'une des plus célèbres personnalités de l'histoire du cinéma. Il pensait tout avoir : un succès incomparable et une famille au firmament du monde du divertissement. Mais ses proches étaient loin de partager sa vision des choses : eux se sentaient pris au piège du star-system, un travail à plein temps pour lequel ils n'avaient jamais signé. Ce récit est le fruit d'une longue traversée vers la (re)connaissance de soi, une exploration des pouvoirs sans pareil de la volonté : de tout ce qu'elle peut vous apporter et vous aider à vous défaire. Écrit avec l'aide de Mark Manson, auteur du bestseller mondial L'art subtil de s'en foutre, Will nous apprend à maîtriser nos émotions pour nous améliorer, et nous prouve que tout le monde peut y parvenir. S'il est vrai que peu d'entre nous connaîtront la pression d'évoluer sur les plus grandes scènes internationales, cette quête vers l'équilibre et l'épanouissement n'en résonnera pas moins en chacun de nous. L'alliance d'une authentique sagesse fondée sur des valeurs universelles et d'une histoire de vie captivante, place Will, le livre, comme son auteur, dans une catégorie tout à fait hors-norme.
