Product Description
Before media, before the Internet...there was talk itself. Talk Talk Talk is an incisive, exhilarating collection of essays by some of the best thinkers -- and talkers -- of our time. These stellar contributors locate everyday chatter as the basis of a stunning range of artistic and cultural forms: from Antigone's speech-acts to Freud's "talking cure"; from seventeenth-century demon possession to the Marx Brothers' "immigrant talk"; literature, theatre, standup comedy, "ethnic" talk, technologized talk and much, much more.
Contributors include: Homi Bhabha, Judith Butler, Stanley Cavell, Marjorie Garber, Sherry Turkle.

Where Criticism Should be Going
28 Oct 2001
Format:Paperback
Literary, performance, and cultural criticism, as fields, have largely exhausted themselves. This collection offers not only an invigorating new perspective, but a refreshingly rigorous one. In moving from the written to that borderline between the written and oral so vital today, and in returning to the very structures of writing, language, and performance, the editor and authors guide us to think in whole new ways -- not only about literature, performance, and culture, but as to where criticism should be going.
