Exilée and Temps Morts

Exilée and Temps Morts
Selected Works
Theresa Hak Kyung Cha

Edited and with an Introduction by Constance M. Lewallen, With an essay by Ed Park


from UC Press...
In her radical exploration of cultural and personal identity, the writer and artist Theresa Hak Kyung Cha sought "the roots of language before it is born on the tip of the tongue." Her first book, the highly original postmodern text Dictee, published in 1982, is considered a classic work of autobiography and is widely read by students internationally. This stunning selection of her uncollected and hitherto unpublished work at last brings together Cha's writings and text-based pieces with images spanning the period between 1976 and 1980. The volume includes two related poem sequences, Exilée and Temps Morts, major texts incorporating autobiographical elements as well as themes of language, memory, displacement, and alienation--issues that continue to resonate with artists decades after Cha explored them. These moving works give a fuller view of the creative nexus out of which Dictee emerged and attest to the singular literary achievement of a major figure in late-twentieth century art.

Rise of the Rich

Peter Gran,
The Rise of the Rich: A New View of Modern World History
(Syracuse University Press)2009.

The Author recently wrote on the H-Net discussion list H-World

"My new book, "The Rise of the Rich -A New View of Modern World
History" (Syracuse, 2009) argues that the logical way to
overcome the problems of the "Rise of the West" is to abandon
it for a stronger meta narrative and most notably that of the
rise of the rich. The rise of the rich puts its emphasis on
the politics and economics of modern world history..."
