Atlantis, an Autoanthropology

Produktbeschreibung

Over the course of his long career, Nathaniel Tarn has been a poet, anthropologist, and book editor, while his travels have taken him into every continent. Born in France, raised in England, and earning a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago, he knew André Breton, Salvador Dalí, Marcel Duchamp, Margot Fonteyn, Charles Olson, Claude Lévi-Strauss, and many more of the twentieth century's major artists and intellectuals. In Atlantis, an Autoanthropology he writes that he has "never (yet) been able to experience the sensation of being only one person." Throughout this literary memoir and autoethnography, Tarn captures this multiplicity and reaches for the uncertainties of a life lived in a dizzying array of times, cultures, and environments. Drawing on his practice as an anthropologist, he takes himself as a subject of study, examining the shape of a life devoted to the study of the whole of human culture. Atlantis, an Autoanthropology prompts us to consider our own multiple selves and the mysteries contained within.

Jens Beckerts Kernfrage in seinem Buch ist, warum unsere Gesellschaft so mangelhaft und schwach auf den Klimawandel reagiert.Er zeigt klar auf, wie Prozesse in Wirtschaft, Politik und Gesellschaft einander bedingen und wie deren Mechanismen ein dringendes Eingreifen auf den Klimawandel blockiert. Die Zukunft vorhersagen kann keiner, aber die Antwort auf die Frage, warum es so schwierig ist, die politisch notwendig gesetzten Ziele zu erreichen und welche Maßnahmen erforderlich sind und wie Lösungen aussehen können, das analysiert der Professor für Soziologie in seinem hervorragenden Buch, welches zurecht auf der Nominiertenliste zum Deutsche Sachbuchpreis 2024 steht.
Right now, Britain appears to be able to do no wrong on parts of the international stage. Johnson was greeted as a hero when he recently visited Kyiv and perhaps the only positive thing he has achieved in his premiership is to have been unequivocal in his support of Ukraine (there are a few German politicians who could learn some tricks here). Oliver Bullough's excellent new book is however a helpful corrective to the notion that Johnson and the UK have tended to stick up for the little guy. Bullough shows that ever since WW2 the UK and its overseas dependencies (places like Gibraltar and the BVI) have constructed a financial services system that explicitly protects the rich and has allowed whole sectors to thrive which would otherwise have been regulated. As such, it is - at a time when the UK looks like it is taking decisive action - a helpful reminder of how dodgy London's financial services industry has been allowed to become, which has attracted plenty of Putins and his cronies.

Autor/in

Franco-Anglo-American poet Nathaniel Tarn was born in 1928 and educated in France, Belgium and England, obtaining degrees from Cambridge, the Sorbonne and Chicago; he emigrated to the United States in 1970, where he taught at American universities until his retirement. He now lives just outside Santa Fe, New Mexico. Although he is perhaps best-known these days as a poet and essayist, he is also an anthropologist, with a particular interest in Highland Maya studies and the sociology of Buddhist institutions, and is also a translator of the highest order (see above all his versions of Neruda's The Heights of Macchu Picchu and Victor Segalen's Stelae). His first collection of poetry was Old Savage/Young City (London: Cape, 1964), which was followed the next year by his appearance in the seventh volume of the Penguin Modern Poets series. Three more collections followed in London, during which time he also became editor of Cape Goliard and founder-editor of the remarkable Cape Editions series of seminal modern texts: poetry, prose, anthropology, drama, many of them in pioneering translations. After he emigrated, only two more collections (the important volume "A Nowhere for Vallejo" and the ambitious book-length poem "Lyrics for the Bride of God") were to appear in the UK. Thereafter, with the exception of his Shearsman publications and one other volume, all of his work has appeared in the USA, most significantly: "The House of Leaves", "Atitlán/Alashka" (with Janet Rodney), "At the Western Gates", "Selected Poems 1950-2000", "Ins and Outs of the Forest Rivers" and the recent "Gondwana". There is also a significant volume of essays in "Views from the Weaving Mountain". Tarn's work is remarkable for expansiveness and its willingness to absorb material from very disparate sources-in this, it owes something to the examples of Pound and Olson, but also a lot to the author's own anthropological training, his knowledge of other languages and his interests in areas such as archaeology.
