Sobre IBD

Using the work of John Milton and his conflict between good and evil, Claire Colebrook shows exactly how we read literary history according to quite specific images of growth, development, progression, flourishing and succession. Colebrook illustrates not only how goodness is aligned with images of a life of expansion, creation, production and fruition, while evil is associated with the inert, non-relational, static and stagnant, but how these associations have also underpinned a distinction between good and evil notions of capitalism. Informed by an expansive corpus of philosophical texts, including Kant, Aristotle, Deleuze and Derrida, Colebrook’s study presents a new, surprising, theory of literary history and makes a significant contribution to Milton studies.

    ‘There’s a touch of both Dickinson and Larkin in Jennifer Chrystie’s mature exhumation of the tales and tropes of family. Figures who could so easily flit like phantoms in her well honed poetry are palpably enjoying an after-life in the poet’s ability to redeem through deep understanding. The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

  • One Kiss
    Edward V Bonner
    The very title of Edward V. Bonner's first volume of poetry, One Kiss (Ingram, 2015), suggests some ways in which the poems inside balance the universal with the particular. Most of the poems examine the themes of beauty and risk, pleasure and danger, in the context of one of three kinds of relationships: to romantic partners, to the spiritual world, and to the world of nature....

  • Deleuze and the Meaning of Life
    Claire Colebrook
    The intensification of interest in Deleuze over the last decade has coincided with the end of the linguistic paradigm in both continental and analytic philosophy. Indeed, the division between the two traditions appears to be closing and the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze seems to be crucial to this convergence, as he is both indebted to the phenomenological tradition at the same ...
