Splintered light : logos and language in Tolkien's world / by Flieger, Verlyn,1933-author.(CARDINAL)734744;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 183-184) and indexA man of antitheses -- Dyscatastrophe -- Eucatastrophe -- "Poetic diction" and splintered light -- Fantasy and phenomena -- Splintered light and splintered being -- Theme and variations -- A disease of mythology -- Perception = name = identity -- Ourselves as others see us -- amazing wine and cellar doors -- Light and heat -- Making versus hoarding -- Light out of darkness -- Beyond the music -- Light for light -- Beren and Thingol -- The smallest fragment -- Filled with clear light -- One good custom"J. R. R. Tolkien is perhaps best known for The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, but it is in The Silmarillion that the true depth of Tolkien's Middle-earth can be understood. The Silmarillion was written before, during, and after Tolkien wrote The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. A collection of stories, it provides information alluded to in Tolkien's better known works and, in doing so, turns The Lord of the Rings into much more than a sequel to The Hobbit, making it instead a continuation of the mythology of Middle-earth. Verlyn Flieger's expanded and updated edition of Splintered Light, a classic study of Tolkien's fiction first published in 1983, examines The Silmarillion and The Lord of the Rings in light of Owen Barfield's linguistic theory of the fragmentation of meaning. Flieger demonstrates Tolkien's use of Barfield's concept throughout the fiction, showing how his central image of primary light splintered and refracted acts as a metaphor for the languages, peoples, and history of Middle-earth."

Charting the Afrofuturist imaginary in African American art : the black female fantastic / by Hamilton, Elizabeth Carmel,author.(CARDINAL)856461; Routledge (Firm),publisher.(CARDINAL)764271;
"This book examines Afrofuturism in African American art, focusing specifically on images of black women and how those images expand the discourse of representation in visual culture of the United States. This volume defines a visual language of Afrofuturism that includes materiality, temporality, and black liberation. Elizabeth Hamilton discusses the visual progenitors of Afrofuturism. In the artworks of Pierre Bennu, Sanford Biggers, Alison Saar, Mequitta Ahuja, Robert Pruitt, Renee Cox, Dawolu Jabari Anderson, Alma Thomas, and Harriet Powers, the fantastic narratives of Afrofuturism are uncovered through in-depth case studies. These case studies engage with Afrofuturism as a black feminist visual theory that helps to unburden the images of black women from the stereotypical visual scripts that are so common in contemporary visual culture of the United States. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, visual studies, American literature, gender studies, popular culture, and African American studies"--Includes bibliographical references and index.
