Описание: <p>A bold book, built of close readings, striking in its range and depth, <i>The Signifying Eye</i> shows Faulkner's art take shape in sweeping arcs of social, labor, and aesthetic history. Beginning with long-unpublished works (his childhood sketches and his hand-drawn and hand-illustrated play <i>The Marionettes</i>) and early novels (<i>Mosquitoes</i> and <i>Sartoris</i>), working through many major works (<i>The Sound and the Fury, As I Lay Dying, Sanctuary, Light in August</i>, and <i>Absalom, Absalom!</i>), and including more popular fictions (<i>The Wild Palms</i> and <i>The Unvanquished</i>) and late novels (notably <i>Intruder in the Dust</i> and <i>The Town</i>), <i>The Signifying Eye</i> reveals Faulkner's visual obsessions with artistic creation as his work is read next to Wharton, Cather, Toomer, and—in a tour de force intervention—Willem de Kooning.</p><p>After coloring in southern literature as a "reverse slave narrative," Waid's <i>Eye</i> locates Faulkner's fiction as the "feminist hinge" in a crucial parable of art that seeks abstraction through the burial of the race-defined mother. Race is seen through gender and sexuality while social fall is exposed (in Waid's phrase) as a "coloring of class." Locating "visual language" that constitutes a "pictorial vocabulary," <i>The Signifying Eye</i> delights in literacy as the oral meets the written and the abstract opens as a site to see narrative. Steeped in history, this book locates a heightened reality that goes beyond representation to bring Faulkner's novels, stories, and drawings into visible form through Whistler, Beardsley, Gorky, and de Kooning. Visionary and revisionist, Waid has painted the proverbial big picture, changing the fundamental way that both the making of modernism and the avant-garde will be seen.</p>

Описание: By remapping the configurations of mourning across modernist, postmodernist, and postcolonial literatures, psychoanalysis and deconstruction, Signifying Loss studies not only how loss is signified, but also the ethico-political significance of such signifying.
