Pataphysics: The Poetics of an Imaginary Science, 2002

 Item
Identifier: CC-46971-49709
Scope and Contents Back cover blurb:"Pataphysics, the pseudoscience imagined by Alfred Jarry, has so far, because of its academic frivolity and hermetic perversity, attracted very little scholarly or critical inquiry, and yet it has inspired a century of experimentation. Tracing the place of 'pataphysics in the tangled history of the relationship between science and poetry, Christian Bok demonstrates that 'pataphysics is fundamental to the nature of the postmodern.

Patria: The Complete Cycle, 2002

 Item
Identifier: CC-39407-41359
Scope and Contents

Patria is "a cycle of twelve related music dramas created and performed over the last thirty years. Each play in the cycle has a common theme - the search of two lovers for one another through the many labyrinths of life on Earth... This new, definitive edition of Patria contains all twelve parts of the cycle, plus photos, pages from the scores (complex visual artworks in their own right), commentary on the performance of the pieces and Schafer's personal essays on aestheticism. In these remarkable works, the arts court one another: theatre meets ritual, mythology fuses with art, and the line between performer and audience blurs." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
