The four novelists in my dissertation can be linked to form an alternative literary history of sensibility---"alternative" because it differs from existing accounts of the fate of the sentimental novel, but also because sensibility can be understood as an alternative to dominant modes of reading and writing narrative. Through close readings of A Sentimental Journey, Persuasion, Jane Eyre, Jacob's Room, and The Waves, I show that these writers implicitly distinguish between a practice of narrative representation based on "sympathy" and a quite different textual practice of "sensibility." "Sympathy" is presented as a mimetic dynamic that promotes identification while maintaining hierarchical differences between categories or individuals. Like the socio-symbolic systems they reflect and support, sympathetic representations channel desire into dialectical configurations which promote the treatment of others as objects and the inability to recognize difference except as a negative quality in relation to the self-same. Recently, such "sympathetic" processes have been effectively critiqued: psychoanalysis has been used to examine the ways narrative structures reproduce hegemonic patterns of identification and "othering." Yet psychoanalysis has been less successful in permitting critics to recognize alternative images of difference, sexuality, and the functions of representation. Drawing on works by Deleuze, Lingis, Bersani, and Cixous, I argue that these novelists use techniques suggested by the genre of sentimental fiction to resist sympathy and to redefine sensibility as a sexual sensitivity to phenomenal divergences and disjunctions that communicate sensory or affective intensity. The practice of sensibility developed in and by their novels is less mimetic than "performative": by reshaping the temporal and sexual dynamics of reading, it cultivates the reader's ability to recognize "singularities" (differential features, forces, capacities and relations which defy symbolization). Beginning with Laurence Sterne's reweaving of the relations between the sensory, the textual, and the sexual, I use Gilles Deleuze's theory of dynamic repetition to show how Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte, and Virginia Woolf inherit sensibility as a literary potential: a mode of writing that haunts history like an unanswered question, returning to be re-worked and re-solved within the specific contexts of each historical period.

Textures of Light draws on the work of Luce Irigaray, Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Emmanuel Levinas to present an outstanding and ground breaking study of the vital importance of light in Western thought. Since Plato's allegory of the cave, light and the role of sight have been accorded a unique position in Western thought. They have stood as a metaphor for truth and objectivity and the very axis of modern rationalism. More recently however, this status has come under significant criticism from continental and feminist thought which has stressed the privileging of subjectivity and masculinity in such a metaphor.

Die Studie beschäftigt sich mit dem Perfekt im Deutschen und Englischen und dessen Verhältnis zu zwei Klassen von Adverbien. Die Klasse der durativen Adverbien ist seit Dowtys (1979) Word meaning and Montague grammar immer im Zusammenhang mit dem Perfekt diskutiert worden, weil diese Adverbien nur dann mehrdeutig zwischen einer universellen und einer existentiellen Lesart zu sein schienen. Datenrecherchen zeigen aber, dass diese Mehrdeutigkeiten bei allen Tempora vorkommen. Dies führt zu einer neuen Analyse der Durativadverbien, bei der die Quantifizierung über Teilintervalle von der Bedeutung des Durativs abgespalten und die Mehrdeutigkeiten als Skopusambiguitäten gedeutet werden. Die Theorie erzeugt auch Lesarten, die für manche Sprecher nicht akzeptabel sind; diese werden durch eine optimalitätstheoretische Komponente herausgefiltert. Die zweite in der Studie behandelte Klasse von Adverbien sind die Extended-Now-Adverbien wie schon immer. Diese wurden bisher nicht im Zusammenhang mit dem Perfekt diskutiert; hier wird anhand von Korpusdaten argumentiert, dass diese Adverbien eine Behandlung des deutschen und englischen Perfekts als Extended-Now erzwingen. Anterioritätstheorien in der Nachfolge von Reichenbach (1947) sind nicht haltbar. Das durch datenbasierte Untersuchungen motivierte Temporalsystem ist einfacher und kompositionaler als bestehende Ansätze.

The complicated junctions negotiated by the novel during the eighteenth century reveal not only achievements but also exclusions. Misfit Forms offers a speculative reconstruction of roads less traveled. What if typographical emphasis and its associated transmission of sensuality and feeling had not lost out to “transparent” typography and its paradigms of sympathetic identification? What was truncated when cumulative narrative structures were declared primitive in relation to the unified teleological plot? What visions of the novel’s value as an arena for experience were sidelined when novel reading was linked to epistemological gain? Reading novels by Sterne, Charlotte Bronte, Defoe, Gaskell, Hardy, and Woolf in tandem with less-known works, Nandrea illuminates the modes and techniques that did not become mainstream. Following Deleuze, Nandrea traces the “dynamic repetitions” of these junctures in the work of later writers. Far from showing the eclipse of primitive modes, such moments of convergence allow us to imagine other possibilities for the novel’s trajectory.

The Texture of the Divine explores the central role of the imagination in the shared symbolic worlds of medieval Islam and Judaism. Aaron W. Hughes looks closely at three interrelated texts known as the Hayy ibn Yaqzan cycle (dating roughly from 1000--1200 CE) to reveal the interconnections not only between Muslims and Jews, but also between philosophy, mysticism, and literature. Each of the texts is an initiatory tale, recounting a journey through the ascending layers of the universe. These narratives culminate in the imaginative apprehension of God, in which the traveler gazes into the divine presence. The tales are beautiful and poetic literary works as well as probing philosophical treatises on how the individual can know the unknowable. In this groundbreaking work, Hughes reveals the literary, initiatory, ritualistic, and mystical dimensions of medieval Neoplatonism. The Texture of the Divine also includes the first complete English translation of Abraham Ibn Ezra's Hay ben Meqitz.

Susan Seddon Boulet (American, b. Brazil, 1941-1997) lived life in search of the magnificent. As a child growing up on a Brazilian farm, she developed an abiding affection for animals, making them her first artistic subjects and portraying them in colorful, lively sketches. From these simple roots, creating art became central to her life. Boulet developed a unique style, an inspired vision suffused with detail, texture, and color. Her artwork reflects her innermost journey, beginning with fairy tales and evolving into powerful archetypal figures that welled up from what Carl Jung once called "the deepest springs of life." In the decades since Boulet's death, her artwork has continued to move and inspire people all over the world. Boulet is also known for her finely detailed portraits within portraits-explorations of mysterious dreams, visions, and spiritual symbols. For these paintings she drew inspiration from folklore and myth as well as shamanic and Native American traditions. Working primarily with oil pastels and ink, Boulet brought into being a numinous dimension displayed in vivid, breathing detail. Her highly personal style offers glimpses of other worlds. Seen for the first time, her images can feel familiar, known at some profound level; they often resonate with those in search of a personal truth. Even as Boulet explored the darker aspects of the psyche in her work and began her long struggle with cancer, she retained the energy, honesty, and warmth that endeared her to so many. This retrospective by Michael Babcock recounts her artistic development and celebrates her extraordinary personal journey. It includes more than two hundred reproductions of her paintings, some never before published.

Eroticism is a state of mind.Photography is a language.Join them together to tell stories.The path that has been underway for some time now leads me to present you Eros 3, still in that spasmodic need to exalt ideas, smells, sounds, visions, perceptions. Eroticism as a concept, not material, erostism as a perceptive emotion, it does not form. Eroticism as a mental state, not flesh.However, in this third volume (the black and white edition), I wanted to abandon the color to devote myself to black and white, well aware of not knowing how to speak without colors.Regarding the diatribe between color and black and white in photography, someone once reminded me that between white and black there are tens of thousands of shades of gray, colors in their way.With black and white, the language becomes drier, more aware, if you want more direct and outspoken. The color softens, the black and white slams you in the face the idea, straight in the belly. It leaves to the mind of the viewer less interpretative space, while opening up infinite dream variations. For people like me who have always done their favorite language with color photography, telling stories in black and white images has been a difficult and difficult task.However, mindful of what I had been told, I used as many times as I could the tens of thousands of colors between black and white.
