Reality Hunger
Was ist Realität, was ist Wirklichkeit, was ist «echt» und «authentisch», in welchen Formen stellen wir unser Leben in der Kunst dar? Horaz, Friedrich Nietzsche, Samuel Beckett, Thomas Pynchon, Nicholson Baker, Jean-Luc Godard, Lars von Trier und viele andere bekannte Namen der Literatur- und Kulturgeschichte treffen auf die Google- und Facebook-Generation; sie bilden den aktuellen Hintergrund für eine grundlegend neue Kultur des Sampelns, der kreativen Montage von Bildern und der freien Benutzung aller Texte. Urheberrechte sind genauso wie die Forderung nach einer naturalistischen Erzählung und nach einer linearen Handlung Relikte aus der alten Welt. Shields plädiert in seinem Manif...

Hunger
Understanding hunger is the key to understanding ourselves. While they seem the most obvious things about us, our hungers are also deeply mysterious, arising out of, and casting light on, the unique character of human consciousness. In humans, physiological need is transformed into a multitude of needs that are remote from organic necessity. Even first-level biological hunger is experienced differently in humans; and little in human feeding behaviour has any parallel in the animal kingdom.In this book, Ray Tallis takes us through the different levels of our hunger. Out of our primary appetites arise a myriad of pleasures and tastes that are elaborated in second-level hedonistic hungers creating new values. The evolution of appetite into desire opens the way to social hungers such as the hunger for acknowledgement. Awareness of death awakens a further level of hunger for something that lies beyond the pell-mell of successive experiences leading towards extinction. The art of living is the art of managing our hungers.

Vanguards testing in Belarus, Colombia, and India initially goes well, but midway through the crops development, reports begin to emerge of bizarre insect observations linked to incidents of domestic animal slaughter, and eventually, the death of several people. The high-growth genetic enhancements engineered into the seeds have been transferred into the ...

The Art of Hunger
Hunger is one of the governing metaphors for literature in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Beginning in the mid-nineteenth century, writers and critics repeatedly describe writing as a process of starvation, as in the familiar type of the starving artist, and high art as therejection of 'culinary' pleasures. The Art of Hunger: Aesthetic Autonomy and the Afterlives of Modernism argues that this metaphor offers a way of describing the contradictions of aesthetic autonomy in modernist literature and its late-twentieth-century heirs. This book traces the emergence of atradition of writing it calls the 'art of hunger', from the origins of modernism to the end of the twentieth century...
