LARB Digital Edition: Humanities
It’s fall. Throughout the country, students are heading into classrooms where they will read and discuss books. There are ongoing questions about what use this reading will be to them. Indeed, will it be any use at all?The essays in this month's Digital Edition are purposefully quite wide-ranging in their subjects and tone. Books, they show, are different things for English professors, for economists, for artists; they help us grieve, and they help us grow. The essays here share a sense that books quite often solve problems very different from the ones they explicitly address. So rather than using books to simplify and reduce a complex world, as the criticism “book learning” might imply, these essays, together, advocate for a non-instrumental mode of reading. Read widely, they say, for a range of pleasures; read to enjoy the world, not to treat it as a problem to be solved.
LARB Digital Edition: A Legible Science
We’re all prone to excess, even in discussions of excess, observes biologist and science writer Marlene Zuk. This year has been marked by another rainfall of books about humans destroying the environment in which they evolved, a few about the a priori Darwinian mismatch between humans and their so-called “natural” environments, and a great many more about the even greater mismatch between humans and their constructed environments.This month's Digital Edition gathers some of the best essays and reviews from LARB's Science Section that deal with aspects of the mismatch, and how scientific discoveries and agendas are changing how we think about them. Several also deal with issues of legibility — how science goes about making legible human experience, not to mention environmental impacts. From the exploding fields of neuroscience and genetics to reading the movement of glaciers, this month's selection of articles is the perfect match for readers in search of a legible science.
LARB Digital Edition: Independence Day
As National Poetry Month was just last April, it’s only fitting that we celebrate poetry this July. The poets in this collection represent the depth and breadth of contemporary American poetry: its independence, its drive to find new ways of making meaning, and its commitment to innovative ways of interrogating what we might consider foundational texts. In this new poetry ePub, we present two poets writing about Emily Dickinson, Stephen Burt’s groundbreaking essay on trans-poetry, Joshua Edwards's elegy to poetically seeing the landscapes around us, and original poetry by Douglas Kearney, Maurice Manning, and Lauren K Alleyne.
LARB Digital Edition
Does an academic boycott of Israel advance, or damage, the cause for peace in the Middle East?We brought together eight leading scholars to debate the question in an unprecedented forum, «Academic Activism: Israelis, Palestinians, and the Ethics of Boycott.» Collectively, their essays — equal parts incisive, provocative, and passionate — deliver a multifaceted lens through which to view the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, the BDS (Boycott, Divest, Sanctions) movement, and the ongoing search for a path towards peace.
LARB Digital Edition: Art + Architecture
As any historian or casual observer of urban transformation might tell you, walls are not everlasting. The following collection examines different ways monuments and notions of monumentality in art and architecture exist in relation to this reality. From Esther Yi's chronicle of the uncertain fate of a section of the Berlin Wall known as the East Side Gallery, to Michael Z. Wise's essay on the Casa Malaparte in Capri, the articles collected in this month's LARB Digital Edition examine the powerful sway of the monumental on our common sense. Also in this issue, Victoria Dailey covers land artist Michael Heizer's LACMA installation, Levitated Mass; Evan Selinger reviews Bianca Bosker's in-depth look at the phenomena of “duplitecture,” Original Copies: Architectural Mimicry in Contemporary China; Victoria Bugge Oye reviews the first ever monograph on the acclaimed Postmodern architects Diller, Scofidio, and Renfro; and we look back on architect Joe Day's own monumental undertaking with the Getty's Pacific Standard Time Presents: Modern Architecture in L.A.
LARB Digital Edition: Food & Drink
This month’s Digital Edition serves up eight irresistible courses from LARB’s Food and Drink section. Including a taste of the dizzying heights of gourmandise in John McIntyre’s essay “Finer Dining Through Chemistry,” and samples of extreme foodie-ism in Douglas Bauer’s review of Anything that Moves by Dana Goodyear; with John T. Scott’s review of American Whiskey, Bourbon & Rye: A Guide to the Nation’s Favorite Spirit as an aperitif, and a bonus interview with Leslie Stephens, author of Compromise Cake: Lessons Learned From My Mother’s Recipe Box, for dessert. Two reviews by Steven Shapin pique our appetites with the Enlightenment debate over the palate, as well as an intellectual history of cannibalism. And Amy Finnerty’s take on Jenny Rosenstrach’s Dinner: A Love Story rounds out this wholesome spread of food writing. Enjoy!
