Paperback. Etat : Fair. This book argues that a critical understanding of dark academe is vital to the futures of democracy and education. Drawing upon contemporary literary and cultural theory, particularly, affect theory, queer epistemology, and critical race theory as well as critiques of capitalism and accounts of the death drive, it builds a case for identifying dark academe as anything that prohibits the pursuit of democratic education and critical citizenship. It also argues that dark times require a reassessment of the ways theory and knowledge are approached in the humanities. This is necessary if the aim is to truly understand the darkness at the heart of the higher education today. Dark academe works to negate education and learning by continuously telling us that the quest for knowledge is empty, and the pursuit of critique is blind. In this educational darkness, the death drive of neoliberal academe becomes a force that works against intellectual transformation and the deepening of critical sights.…

Etat : Very Good. Mary Shelley's classic work of Gothic horror that blurs the line between man and monster-with an introduction by Diane Johnson Now a major motion picture directed by Guillermo del Toro and starring Jacob Elordi, Mia Goth, and Oscar Isaac Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read "I saw the pale student of unhallowed arts kneeling beside the thing he had put together. I saw the hideous phantasm of a man stretched out, and then, on the working of some powerful engine, show signs of life and stir with an uneasy, half-vital motion." A summer evening's ghost stories, lonely insomnia in a moonlit Alpine room, and a runaway imagination-fired by philosophical discussions with Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley about science, galvanism, and the origins of life-conspired to produce for Mary Shelley this haunting night specter. By morning it had become the germ of her Romantic masterpiece about the ambitious scientist Victor Frankenstein and the monstrous creature he created. Written in 1816, when she was only nineteen, Mary Shelley's novel of "The Modern Prometheus" chillingly dramatized the dangerous potential of life begotten upon a laboratory table. A frightening creation myth for our own time, Frankenstein remains one of the greatest horror stories ever written and is an undisputed classic of its kind.…
