This is a collection of essays by thinkers and talkers of our time that look at talk from an exhilarating range of perspectives, among them speech and political power, the Marx Brothers' idea of conversation, daily self-affirmations, technologized talk, the telephone, the talking cure, and e-mail.
Before media, before the Internet...there was talk itself. Talk Talk Talk is an incisive, exhilarating collection of essays by some of the best thinkers -- and talkers -- of our time. These stellar contributors locate everyday chatter as the basis of a stunning range of artistic and cultural forms: from Antigone''s speech-acts to Freud''s "talking cure"; from seventeenth-century demon possession to the Marx Brothers'' "immigrant talk"; literature, theatre, standup comedy, "ethnic" talk, technologized talk and much, much more.
Contributors include: Homi Bhabha, Judith Butler, Stanley Cavell, Marjorie Garber, Sherry Turkle.
