Footnotes, Mirages, Refrains and Leftovers of Writing Sound","description":"Listening into writing, reading into writing take shape in F.M.R.L. through a collection of short texts, fragments and 'deranged essays', with attention to pacing and linguistic derives. An archive of books, notebooks, events and records prompts the texts in these pages, responding to encounters with Michel Leiris's autobiographical fictions; concerts and events at Cafe Oto and the Swedenborg House in London; visits to museums such as the Pitt Rivers in Oxford and exhibitions such as Ice Age Art at the British Museum, among the others. F.M.R.L. is a book constructed across sonic patterns, assonance, repetitions, comprising texts that intermittently drift from sense to sound and to nonsense and back. A flip from the immateriality of sound to the sounds of letters and words as material, a call from reading to voicing.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49540942463249,"sku":"GOR012975900","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/178279817X.jpg?v=1750723893"},{"product_id":"nothing-as-we-need-it-book-daniela-cascella-9781685710606","title":"Nothing As We Need It","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNothing As We Need It: A Chimera \u003c\/i\u003eimagines and writes a composite and impure form of criticism that embodies the writing of research as recursive, entangled, and many-voiced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShaped by encounters with literature not translated in English, by the polyphonies, artifices, and concealments of a bilingual self, and by the sense of speechlessness and haunting when writing of works that cannot be instantly quoted, this book's subtitle derives from the mythological Chimera: a monstrous creature made of three different parts, impossible in theory but real in the imagination and in the reading of the myth. Similarly the book is written in different styles, some of which may seem impossible, monstrous, and disturbing. It manifests critical writing as enmeshment and conversation with its subject matters; favours impurity rather than detachment; embraces exaggeration, repetition, laughter, and self-parody as legitimate forms of knowledge. Yet a \u003ci\u003echimera\u003c\/i\u003e also designates the object of a yearning deemed unattainable: this book exists in the space of such yearning, in the tension between words and what exceeds them, their overtones. The critic is exhausted by yearning, rather than the owner of exhaustive knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Menippean satire for critical writing, \u003ci\u003eNothing As We Need It\u003c\/i\u003e sustains its argument for composite and impure writing in its form. It demands ways of reading equally varied, and wildly imaginative. Listening to literature beyond the limits of textual analysis, it dismisses the visual implications of reflection, which assumes detachment and polished surfaces, in favour of an aural method of resonance, allowing enmeshment and interference. This book unsettles language, welcomes uninhibited exaggeration and wordplay, and manifests possibilities for working with citation beyond the boundaries of inverted commas. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eDaniela Cascella\u003c\/b\u003e is an Italian-British writer, working with forms and transformations of critical writing that inhabit, echo, and are haunted by their subjects: literature, voices, concealments of the self. Writing in English as a second language, writing as a stranger in a language, she is drawn toward unstable and uncomfortable forms of writing-as-sounding, and toward the transmissions and interferences of knowledge across cultures. Her books include: \u003ci\u003eChimeras: A Deranged Essay, An Imaginary Conversation, A Transcelation\u003c\/i\u003e (Sublunary Editions, 2022), \u003ci\u003e Singed.

Art. The smell of singed paper haunts me. Is this a burning, is it a song? Sing, singed. Cascella's radically experimental poiesis conceives of text as a space of doing but also stillness, of transmission but also interference. In SINGED she writes criticism that includes silence, repetitions and dead ends; that retains mystery and the unspoken, in a language out of synch; that interrogates the very the necessity of using language: Where does the necessity to speak and write arise from, and what are the hooks I can hold on to in the absence of records?","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52450837430545,"sku":"GOR014527681","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780993195563.jpg?v=1759359799"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-daniela-cascella.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
