Panegyric, Volumes 1 and 2
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 59.00 $“I have written less than most writers. But I have drunk far more than most drinkers. All my life I have seen only troubled times, extreme divisions in society, and immense destruction; I have joined in these troubles. My method will be very simple. I will tell of what I have loved; and, in this light, everything else will become evident... Over the years, more than half the people I knew well had sojourned one or several times in the prisons of various countries; many, no doubt, for political reasons, but all the same a greater number for common law offenses or crimes. So I met mainly rebels or the poor. Our only manifestations, which remained rather rare and bried in the first years, were meant to be completely unacceptable; at first, especially by their form and, later, as they acquired depth, especially by their content. They were not accepted.” –Guy DebordGuy Debord, as founding and pivotal figure of the Situationist International, pursued one of the twentieth century’s most arch and exciting assaults on modern life. His 1967 Society of the Spectacle (followed, twenty years later, by Comments on the Society of the Spectacle) was a fierce critique of late-capitalist culture and became the signal text for those involved in the political events of May 1968 and beyond.Panegyric is Debord’s audacious autobiography, and here for the first time in English is the second, beautifully illustrated volume published together with the spare and classical text of the first. A rare combination of poetry and precision, it tells of something even rarer: a life that refused to adjust to the dominant malignancies of its time.

Latin Panegyric (Oxford Readings in Classical Studies)
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 46.00 $What was Roman political praise for and what could it achieve? Could it have literary merit? What do the surviving examples of Roman political praise-giving reveal about the circumstances and milieu in which they originated? Latin Panegyric brings together sixteen essays focusing on praise in the Roman Empire and, in particular, on praise of the emperor. Spanning a century of scholarship, and constituting landmark studies on different aspects of the largest collection of classical Latin oratory to survive after Cicero--the Panegyrici Latini--this collection includes speeches addressed to the emperors Trajan, Maximian, Constantine, Julian, and Theodosius, and traces three centuries of oratorical praise-giving in the Roman world. These influential readings consider textual, rhetorical, literary, political, and religious matters, and together represent the evolving landscape of academic attitudes towards praise discourse, with its strengths and problems, and towards some of the best-known Roman emperors. With a full introduction by the editor, and with four essays translated into English for the first time, this valuable volume plots the narratives of Roman praise and gives students of classical literature, history, and rhetoric direct access to key scholarship.

Mourning and Panegyric: The Poetics of Pastoral Ceremony
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 50.00 $This work is primarily a genre study, aiming both at enlarging the canon of pastoral texts and at theorizing generical development in a comparative context. Addressed to a general audience of poetry enthusiasts as well as students of genre theory and specialists in the field, the book takes as its examples the twin pastoral genres of funeral elegy and marriage hymns. Schenck establishes in her introduction that the strategies she isolates in elegies and epithalamia govern lyric processes more generally; that in fact every poem might be an epitaph if it pronounces an elegy upon a former poetic self and announces rebirth of the artist as a poet. All poems are genuinely epitaphic in their attempt to record verbally and lastingly the death and implied rebirth of the poet as poet each time he lifts his pen to begin a new poem. The specific forms explored in this book, elegy and epithalamium, serve precisely as model initiatory scenarios. Elegies tend to gesture toward the past, pronouncing an epitaph upon poetic apprenticeship and recovery voice by means of symbolic burial of a forebear. Marriage poems, alternatively, are future-directed, celebrating (as do elegies) passage from virgin to mature state. Both forms aim at circumventing mortality, by apotheosis and deification in the case of the elegy, and by the projection forth of "issue" at the end of the marriage poem. Investigation of the symbolic reciprocity of these seemingly distinct forms yields a surprising range of variant forms, extends provocatively Claudio Guillen's theory of genre and counter-genre, and initiates a poetics of pastoral ceremony that has implications for the general study of lyric modes.

In Praise Of Florence : The Panegyric Of The City Of Florence, And An Introduction To Leonardo Bruni's Civil Humanism
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 22.32 $The beginning of the Renaissance is marked in this translation of Leonardo Bruni's first work, the Laudatio Florentinae Urbis (Panegyric of the City of Florence). Written around 1400, this treatise introduces many of the ideas that became central to the Italian Renaissance—republican liberty, free competition, and the balance of power—and influenced many later thinkers of the Renaissance, including Machiavelli. With the ideas outlined in this work, Bruni decisively influenced all later European and American thought about republican and democratic government. In addition to the translation, this edition offers an introduction to Bruni's life and philosophy in the context of the political situation of the early Florentine republic.

Patriotism And Piety In Armenian Christianity: The Early Panegyrics On Saint Gregory (AVANT, 2)
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 23.31 $This fascinating volume launches the AVANT series-a collaborative effort between St Nersess Armenian Seminary and St Vladimir's Seminary Press-which will make available historical and spiritual treasures from the Armenian Christian tradition. This particular volume recounts the blend of patriotism and piety that was born in the very cradle of Armenian Christianity. 'Armenian letters,' a literary motif that began in the fifth century and nurtured the mingling of culture and religion, reached its highest point in the medieval panegyrics on St Gregory the Illuminator-fourth-century apostle, national saint, and patron of Armenia. Foremost among those who lauded St Gregory was Yovhannes Erznkats'i (ca. 1230-1293), who chose for the setting of his panegyric the summit of Mount Sepuh, where St Gregory spent the closing years of his life. In his introduction, Abraham Terian lauds Erznkats'i and his other works; remarks upon the occasion for the panegyric as well as its text and structure; and describes the locale of Mount Sepuh. Terian's superb translation of Erznkats'i's panegyric and commentary are followed by selected odes and hymns to St Gregory, including one attributed to St John Chrysostom and one attributed to St John's disciple Theophilos. Anyone interested in the complex and intriguing marriage between faith and culture will enjoy this excellently written volume.

Arts of Being Yoruba: Divination, Allegory, Tragedy, Proverb, Panegyric (African Expressive Cultures)
Vendor: Abebooks.com Price: 25.94 $There is a culturally significant way of being Yorùbá that is expressed through dress, greetings, and celebrations―no matter where in the world they take place.

As he focuses on historical writings, Ifá divination practices, the use of proverbs in contemporary speech, photography, gendered ideas of dressing well, and the formalities of ceremony and speech at celebratory occasions, Adéékó contends that being Yorùbá is indeed an art and Yorùbá-ness is a dynamic phenomenon that responds to cultural shifts as Yorùbá people inhabit an increasingly globalized world.
