Excerpt from Susan Clegg and Her Neighbors' Affairs But there seemed to be some sad in uence in the effect of the rays of Mrs. Lathrop's lamp on this particular night; and even if its effect on Susan was merely transitory, it was not the less marked each time that it occurred. Once, just as she was carrying the teapot from the stove to the table, she voiced her thoughts aloud. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Susan Edmonstone Ferrier (7 September 1782 - 5 November 1854) was a Scottish novelist. Her novels, giving vivid accounts of Scottish life and presenting sharp views on women's education, remained popular throughout the 19th century.Susan Ferrier was the youngest daughter of Helen (1741-1797), daughter of Robert Coutts, a farmer near Montrose and James Ferrier (1744-1829), Writer to the Signet and one of the principal clerks of the Court of Session, in which office he was the colleague of Sir Walter Scott. Her father came from Linlithgow. She was probably born at Lady Stair's Close, Edinburgh, as the ninth of ten surviving children. The family moved in 1784 to 11 George Street in Edinburgh's New Town.Ferrier was privately educated. Through her family she came to know many notable Edinburgh people, including Sir Walter Scott and the novelist Henry Mackenzie. In 1797 her father took her in 1797 to Inveraray, home of his client and patron John Campbell, 5th Duke of Argyll. She became a friend of the family, especially of a granddaughter, Charlotte Clavering (died 1841), with whom she corresponded. Clavering was initially involved in the writing of Ferrier's first novel Marriage,
Herbert George de Lisser's depiction of Susan Proudleigh highlights the contradictions and range in the canal workers' migration narratives, often inflected by questions of gender.The life and character of Susan is primarily revealed in a series of romantic encounters with three men: Tom Wooley, Samuel Josiah Jones and Mr. Mackenzie. De Lisser's characterization of Susan is ambivalent but we gather that she is a class-conscious, ambitious woman who is both radical and conservative. For Susan, her association with these men give material sustenance and the cultural capital she finds necessary to maintain her superior status as a middle class, fair-skinned woman in urban Jamaica. Susan Proudleigh documents the various ways by which its protagonist negotiates the realities of her class, colour and gender to better advance financially and socially. Migrating to Panama is, for Susan, one such way to acquire status, and immediately she arrives, begins to plan her ascent up the social ladder. As a woman, (legal) marriage is the way forward: Mackenzie was a steady man. If she married him, she could become a member of a church. That would mean a definite rise in the social scale; her respectability would then be beyond challenge, beyond question. The ring on her finger would be the outward and visible sign of her right to respectful treatment on earth below, and also the promise of an uninterrupted passage to heaven in the unfortunate event of death. (192)Whereas there were significant fines for living with a woman on the canal without being legally joined (Fredrick 2005), the men in the novel are also spurred by a variety of reasons, but marriage does not operate as a tool for upward mobility in the same way. Rather, to distinguish themselves in a space where blacks are lumped together into a homogenous group, they assert their status as British subjects. As Jones insists: "But if a black man go ther an' just say he is a British subject, they do anything for him. They love him, y'u know, because he is born under the British flag." Where few would be able to distinguish Bajan from Jamaican, and in the presence of a burgeoning American imperialism, claiming British subjecthood proved strategic. Whereas, as we have seen, there are those who genuinely espoused the British identity, some were becoming aware, as Mackenzie jokes, that West Indians were more of British objects than subjects. The violence inflicted upon Caribbeans during the duration of empire bears out Mackenzie's suggestion (Beckles 1998), and even in Panama, industrial imperialism left its mark physically on the bodies of isthmian workers, as is the case of Poyah in Walrond's story, as well as altered their ways of seeing.

Die US-Amerikanerin Susan Sontag (1933-2004) gilt heute als Ikone, als streitbare Intellektuelle in der Tradition Zolas und Voltaires. Doch wie wurde sie zur schillernden und ebenso umstrittenen Figur des New Yorker Kulturbetriebs? Sontags Aufstieg zur Intellektuellen ist nicht darstellbar ohne eine Rekonstruktion ihres Verhältnisses zu den sogenannten "New Yorker Intellektuellen", einer losen Gemeinschaft von Literaturkritikern, die das New Yorker Kulturleben seit dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs dominierte. Sontag berauschte sich am Neuen in der Kunst, etwa an den Happenings, die in Greenwich Village aufblühten, und wollte sich doch nicht vom Alten und Seriösen lösen. Stephan Isernhagen zeigt, wie sie als junge Literaturkritikerin auf ihre Vorbilder, die New Yorker Intellektuellen, schaute, allmählich Kontakt aufnahm und doch eigene Akzente setzte und eigene Schwerpunkte bildete. Er verdeutlicht, wie nah sie der Neoavantgarde stand, jenen Künstlern in Greenwich Village, die sich vom Establishment distanzierten, und wie viel sie von deren ästhetischen Prämissen in ihre eigene Kunstkritik überführte. Deutlich wird, dass sie sich am "neuen Menschen" der Neoavantgarde orientierte und danach strebte, die New Yorker Intellektuellen von neuer Kunst zu überzeugen. Doch das war nicht so einfach, denn die Kunst der Neoavantgarde beruhte auf einer ästhetischen Erfahrung, die auf einem antibürgerlichen und unkonventionellen Subjektbegriff fußte. Sontags Plädoyer für den ästhetischen Wert dieser Kunst war ein Plädoyer für einen alternativen, neuartigen Subjektbegriff, der wahrhaft "freien" Entfaltung des Menschen verpflichtet. Indem sie die ästhetische Erfahrung der Neoavantgarde ernst nahm und für den ästhetischen Wert neuer Kunst stritt, kämpfte sie für die Gültigkeit alternativer Subjektkonzepte und insbesondere des "homosexuellen Subjekts", das in der Kunst der Neoavantgarde als etwas Gewolltes und Gutes zum Ausdruck kam.Diese Arbeit wurde 2014 mit dem Dissertationspreis der Westfälisch-Lippischen Universitätsgesellschaft ausgezeichnet.
This volume documents the 17th Münster Lectures in Philosophy with Susan Haack, the prominent contemporary philosopher. It contains an original, programmatic article by Haack on her overall philosophical approach, entitled ‘The Fragmentation of Philosophy, the Road to Reintegration’. In addition, the volume includes seven papers on various aspects of Haack’s philosophical work as well as her replies to the papers. Susan Haack has deeply influenced many of the debates in contemporary philosophy. In her vivid and accessible way, she has made ground-breaking contributions covering a wide range of topics, from logic, metaphysics and epistemology, to pragmatism and the philosophy of science and law. In her work, Haack has always been very sensitive in detecting subtle differences. The distinctions she has introduced reveal what lies at the core of philosophical controversies, and show the problems that exist with established views. In order to resolve these problems, Haack has developed some ‘middle-course approaches’. One example of this is her famous ‘Foundherentism’, a theory of justification that includes elements from both the rival theories of Foundationalism and Coherentism. Haack herself has offered the best description of her work calling herself a ‘passionate moderate’.
