Understanding Merleau-Ponty, Understanding Modernism
Understanding Merleau-Ponty, Understanding Modernism brings into dialogue Maurice Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology with modernist art, literature, music, film and neurophysiological discoveries, opening up the complexities of the philosopher's phenomenology of perception to a broader audience across the arts. An important resource for anyone interested in the links between modernism and philosophy, Understanding Merleau-Ponty, Understanding Modernism offers close readings of Merleau-Ponty's key texts, explores modernist works in light of his thought, and provides an extended glossary of Merleau-Ponty's central terms and concepts.
James Joyce and the Phenomenology of Film
James Joyce and the Phenomenology of Film reappraises the lines of influence said to exist between Joyce's writing and early cinema and provides an alternative to previous psychoanalytic readings of Joyce and film. Through a compelling combination of historical research and critical analysis, Cleo Hanaway-Oakley demonstrates that Joyce, early film-makers, and phenomenologists (Maurice Merleau-Ponty, in particular) share a common enterprise: all are concerned with showing, rather than explaining, the 'inherence of the self in the world'. Instead of portraying an objective, neutral world, bereft of human input, Joyce, the film-makers, and the phenomenologists present embodied, conscious engage...
Rewriting the Word "God"
Innovative poetry, philosophy, theology and new sciences converge in the project of rewriting the word "God" In Rewriting the Word "God," Romana Huk examines the substantive connections between innovative poetry of the last century and contemporary theology and philosophy.

Brasenose
Brasenose College, Oxford was founded in 1509 by a Bishop (William Smith) and a lawyer (Richard Sutton). Both came from the North West of England, and the College has always been proud of its links with Lancashire and Cheshire. But over the centuries Brasenose - or 'B.N.C.' as it is usually known - has expanded its reputation world-wide: in sport, law, politics, literature. This is the first general history of Brasenose for more than a hundred years. Using college archives, letters, and diaries, it aims to re-create something of the variety and texture of academic life over a period of five centuries: the learning, the conversation, the sport; the intellectual milieu, and physical setting; t...
