Sinopsis

In "Egoists: A Book of Supermen," James Huneker crafts a compelling exploration of artistic genius through a collection of biographical sketches of influential figures such as Oscar Wilde and Friedrich Nietzsche. With a distinctive prose style that melds wit and literary flair, Huneker delves into the psychological complexities and philosophical underpinnings of his subjects, reflecting the early 20th-century fascination with individualism and exceptionalism. This work is not merely a biography; it is a meditative inquiry into the nature of creativity, the artist's tumultuous relationship with society, and the oft-idealized figure of the 'superman.' James Huneker was a prominent American music and literary critic, whose own life was steeped in the artistic movements of his time. His background in music and exposure to European literature and philosophy profoundly influenced his approach to writing. Huneker's deep engagement with modernist thought provides him the lens through which he examines the tumultuous lives of his chosen figures, all of whom wrestled with the weight of their own extraordinary talents and the societal expectations placed upon them. "Egoists" is an essential read for anyone interested in the profile of the avant-garde artist and the duality of genius and madness. Huneker's insightful analysis not only illuminates the lives of these 'supermen' but also invites readers to reflect on their own aspirations toward greatness. This book is a profound examination that resonates with anyone seeking to understand the costs and joys of artistic ambition.

    Ezra Weston Loomis Pound (October 30, 1885 - November 1, 1972), born in what is now Hailey, Idaho, was a major American figure in the early modernist poetry movement, and a fascist collaborator in Italy during World War II. Angered by the carnage of World War I, Pound blamed the war on finance capitalism, which he called "usury". He moved to Italy in 1924, and through the 1930s and 1940s promoted an economic theory known as social credit, wrote for publications owned by the British fascist Sir Oswald Mosley, embraced Benito Mussolini's fascism, and expressed support for Adolf Hitler. During World War II and the Holocaust in Italy, he made hundreds of paid radio broadcasts for the Italian government attacking the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt and, above all, Jews. He was arrested in 1945 by American forces in Italy on charges of treason, spending months in a U.S. military camp in Pisa--including three weeks in an outdoor steel cage. Deemed unfit to stand trial, he was incarcerated in St. Elizabeth's psychiatric hospital in Washington, D.C., for over 12 years. After a campaign by his fellow writers, he was released from St. Elizabeth's in 1958 and lived in Italy until his death in 1972.

    When inclusion into the fold of citizenship is conditioned by a social group's conceit to ritual violence, humiliation, and exploitation, what can anti-citizenship offer us? 
     
      
     
    The Promise of Youth Anti-citizenship argues that Black youth and youth of color have been cast as anti-citizens, disenfranchised from the social, political, and economic mainstream of American life. Instead of asking youth to conform to a larger societal structure undergirded by racial capitalism and antiblackness, the volume's contributors propose that the collective practice of anti-citizenship opens up a liberatory space for youth to challenge the social order. 
     
     
     
    The chapters cover an array of topics, including Black youth in the charter school experiment in post-Katrina New Orleans; racial capitalism, the queering of ethnicity, and the 1980s Salvadoran migration to South Central Los Angeles; the notion of decolonizing classrooms through Palestinian liberation narratives; and more. Through a range of methodological approaches and conceptual interventions, this collection illuminates how youth negotiate and exercise anti-citizenship as forms of either resistance or refusal in response to coercive patriotism, cultural imperialism, and predatory capitalism.
