DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn the land known as Terra Infirma (so-called due to its weak constitution), in the once vibrant city of Marasmus, the Trollian Conquest is complete and an authoritarian and oppressive regime holds sway. Religion is banned and the city's patron God, WACCHUS, finds Himself forcibly retired. He discovers that resurrection is only possible through the person of the Awakener. Unfortunately, the only being who remotely fits the bill is a drunken and world-weary dwarf called Anyx. Can Anyx really be the Awakener? And can he (with the assistance of, amongst others, an elephant, a down-on-his-luck leper, a bunch of half-crazed pirates and some blokes in tights) evade the clutches of the psychotic troll Granntt, and the demonic Theo De Ville, and save the day?

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis collection of essays explores laughter, humor, and the comic from a psychoanalytic perspective. Edited by two leading practicing psychoanalysts and with original contributions from Lacanian practitioners and scholars, this cutting-edge volume proposes a paradigm swerve, a Freudian slip on a banana peel. Psychoanalysis has long been associated with tragedy and there is a strong warrant to take up comedy as a more productive model for psychoanalytic practice and critique. Jokes and the comic have not received nearly as much consideration as they deserve given the fundamental role they play in our psychic lives and the way they unite the fields of aesthetics, literature, and psychoanalysis. Lacan, Psychoanalysis and Comedy addresses this lack and opens up the discussion.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKJason Marc Harris's ambitious book argues that the tensions between folk metaphysics and Enlightenment values produce the literary fantastic. Demonstrating that a negotiation with folklore was central to the canon of British literature, he explicates the complicated rhetoric associated with folkloric fiction. His analysis includes a wide range of writers, including James Barrie, William Carleton, Charles Dickens, George Eliot, Sheridan Le Fanu, Neil Gunn, George MacDonald, William Sharp, Robert Louis Stevenson, and James Hogg. These authors, Harris suggests, used folklore to articulate profound cultural ambivalence towards issues of class, domesticity, education, gender, imperialism, nationalism, race, politics, religion, and metaphysics. Harris's analysis of the function of folk metaphysics in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century narratives reveals the ideological agendas of the appropriation of folklore and the artistic potential of superstition in both folkloric and literary contexts of the supernatural.
