Harlan Wilson, ExtrapolationĬontributors: Bernard Stiegler, Louis Armand, Arthur Bradley, Christopher Johnson, Hartmut Winkler, J. “ In the twenty-first century maelstrom of electronic media, cybernetics, technocapitalism, and science-fiction-made-flesh, editors Bradley and Armand argue that it is essential to re-think technicity so as to come to terms with the vicissitudes of contemporary subjectivity and selfhood.” –D. Yet despite the plethora of work in the field there has not been any sustained attempt to think through the larger philosophical, cultural and political implications of the new technologies.In this collection, a group of internationally-known figures within the fields of philosophy, linguistics and cultural studies come together to consider the meaning of “technicity” at the beginning of the 21st century. From the ground-breaking explorations of such figures as Freud, Heidegger, Deleuze/Guattari and Derrida to the work of more recent theorists like Bernard Stiegler, Friedrich Kittler and Katherine Hayles, it is becoming possible to speak of a new “technological turn” in contemporary continental theory. ![]() This collection explores the theory and praxis of technicity in contemporary thought. ![]() ![]() She has been the subject of numerous books and references to her, and her works are common in Brazilian literature and music. Injured in an accident in 1966, she spent the last decade of her life in frequent pain, steadily writing and publishing novels and stories until her premature death in 1977. (A Paixão Segundo G.H.), and the novel many consider to be her masterpiece, Água Viva. Upon return to Rio de Janeiro in 1959, she began producing her most famous works, including the stories of Family Ties (Laços de Família), the great mystic novel The Passion According to G.H. She left Brazil in 1944, following her marriage to a Brazilian diplomat, and spent the next decade and a half in Europe and the United States. While in law school in Rio she began publishing her first journalistic work and short stories, catapulting to fame at age 23 with the publication of her first novel, 'Near to the Wild Heart' (Perto do Coração Selvagem), written as an interior monologue in a style and language that was considered revolutionary in Brazil. The family moved to Rio de Janeiro when she was in her teens. She grew up in northeastern Brazil, where her mother died when she was nine. Born to a Jewish family in Podolia in Western Ukraine, she was brought to Brazil as an infant, amidst the disasters engulfing her native land following the First World War. Acclaimed internationally for her innovative novels and short stories, she was also a journalist. ![]() ![]() Clarice Lispector was a Brazilian writer. ![]() ![]() ![]() This is a story of survival, of the kind of selfless love that makes you endure life rather than live it, of cycles taught and cycles broken, of making life-altering mistakes, but also learning from those mistakes, and of a woman choosing to be her own saviour rather than waiting for someone else to save her. It is described as a forbidden love set in the explosive world of the NBA, and while it is true that this is a love story between an NBA player and the woman he was not allowed to have, to me, this is not what this story is truly about. It was one of the most harrowing yet emotionally rewarding books to get through-parts of it incredibly painful to process, while others had me smiling through my tears-but from the very beginning, I also knew that I was holding in my hands one of the most important books I’ll ever read. ![]() ![]() For a very long time after first reading this book, I didn’t know how to talk about it without bursting into tears, the sharp sting of some of those pages never fading, never losing its devastating bite. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Though McGarry might have been hoping to garner the sympathy vote early on, Echo’s whiny inner-monologue makes me question whether those on whom she clearly places the blame are actually at fault, or whether she is merely another spoiled, self-involved brat as so many young adult leads are. ![]() Subtlety doesn’t seem to be a part of Echo’s repertoire, at least not initially. Her characterizations of her father, stepmother, and therapist are bitter and not all that cleverly conveyed. Echo set off warning bells right off the bat: her name, while pretty, seemed chosen merely for its pretentious conspicuousness. The story is told in alternating first-person narration, so we get a pretty good look inside Echo’s thoughts in this opening chapter. We first meet her in a family therapy session set up by the state as a result of some traumatic event that she has experienced in her past. ![]() Echo, in particular, threatened to exemplify all of the traits that I find least appealing in a young female narrator. The first few chapters did nothing to dispel this notion, with protagonists Echo and Noah seeming to typify the damaged, angry teens that are so often the stars of the genre. From the cover and summary, I didn’t expect Pushing the Limits to expand the bounds of young adult contemporary, no matter the title’s promise. ![]() ![]() ![]() Robin also worked for Amazon for six years.

For some authors, they find more success by partnering with a traditional publisher.
