Exorbitance

A Grammar of Overdoing

de Steven Connor ...

Although modern life provides many examples of exorbitance – of wealth, growth, information, ambition, consumption, violence – preoccupation with what is 'over the top' is not new. What is it about the idea of going unreasonably beyond what is reasonable that exercises fascination? In this wide-ranging work, essayist and scholar Steven Connor reflects on the considerable and persistent force of ... Leer más

Thoughts on Unappreciated Dispositions

de Steven Connor ...

In a world that promotes assertion, agency, and empowerment, this book challenges us to revalue a range of actions and attitudes that have come to be disregarded or dismissed as merely passive. Mercy, resignation, politeness, restraint, gratitude, abstinence, losing well, apologizing, taking care: today, such behaviors are associated with negativity or lack. But the capacity to give way is better ... Leer más

Styles of Seriousness

de Steven Connor ...

Being serious demands serious kinds of work. In Styles of Seriousness, Steven Connor reflects on the surprisingly various ways in which a sense of the serious is made and maintained, revealing that while seriousness is the most powerful feeling, it is also the most poignantly indeterminate, perhaps because of the impossibility of being completely serious.In colloquy with philosophers such as ...

Dreamwork

Why All Work Is Imaginary

de Steven Connor ...

Dreamwork is a book about the ideas, dreams, dreads and ideals we have regarding work. Its central argument is that, although we depend on the idea of work for our identity as humans, we feel we must disguise from ourselves the fact that we do not know what work is. There is no example of work that nobody might under some circumstances do for fun. All work is imaginary – which is not to say that ... Leer más
