|
|

Prior to attending the event, Speak Out seemed from all appearances and for several reasons to promise the delivery of a full-throated, powerful, collective polemic against the white supremacy, misogyny, xenophobia, militarism, and fascism that the Trump administration represents.
|
|
I think the whole "controversy" is really not a controversy at all, but rather a red herring that distracts from the real polemic: the fact that a superior album did not win the Grammys' top prize because it represents a black woman's perspective.
|
|
This is by no means a polemic, but at the same time it is very obvious that Mr Hardy cares deeply about the subject, in particular the responsibility of the colonial era for the myriad ills that now plague the contemporary Middle East.
|
|
If this book is successful to the reader, it is funny; instead of making a polemic about identity, which I would not have been good at, I'm asking questions and joking around and pointing out things that I think are really serious.

|
In the four episodes made available for review, the show largely misses the heart and soul of the books: the biting edge of Pullman's polemic against authority and Lyra's exuberant insistence on seeing the world "sideways," from her own extraordinary point of view.

Mulaney told a top-tier Trump joke comparing his presidency to a horse set loose in a hospital, shifted gears with a vividly nostalgic story about an elementary school safety assembly and also thundered a nice polemic against colleges asking alumni for money.
|
|

|
|
Subtitled "A Sermon to White America," the book is a stark polemic about race relations, including discussions of police shootings, affirmative action and black-on-black crime (which Dyson sees as a consequence of mere proximity, what he calls "the geography of despair").
|
|
For Lasch, it's "The Revolt of the Elites and the Betrayal of Democracy" (1995), a polemic against the professional upper class's withdrawal from the society it rules and a critique of the ways in which multiculturalism and meritocracy erode patriotism and democracy.
|
|
She's written a few books on Nixon (she has been described as his confidante), but her only contribution to the kind of polemic that is the bread and butter of most conservative book publishers is 22008's What the (Bleep) Just Happened?

|
|
The note of fatalism concluding the review was meant to take the long view, but it's a sentiment that now seems far from certain or clear: If anything, the layering of credulity and incredulity, dubiousness and polemic complicates if not obviates the artworks' shelf life.
|
|
The title, "The Critique of Cynical Reason," seemed to promise a cheeky update of Kant's "Critique of Pure Reason," but the book instead delivered a wildly personal polemic about the deterioration of the utopian spirit of 1968 and called for Sloterdijk's generation to take stock of itself.

As Schwabsky cites, the post-painter Duchamp described this act of bi-creation — where both subject positions are necessary to create a painting — in his polemic text The Creative Act (1957); art-making, in this sense, involves not just the act of painting, but also its reception.

|
|
But more broadly, the book serves as a polemic contrasting mainstream "business unions" with what the Wobblies refer to as "solidarity unions" — that is, worker-led groups that are not typically certified as exclusive bargaining agents under federal law and therefore don't need to win majority support to exist.
|
|
" In Megan Milks's review of Socialist Realism for Bookforum, she notes that a decade ago "many queers were enamored with the alluring radicality of queer negativity" — think Lee Edelman's 2004 polemic No Future, about the queer death drive — but "in the Trump era such grandiose nihilism seems puerile.
|

While O'Gieblyn writes, frequently and movingly, of losing her faith in adulthood, her criticisms of evangelical culture and Christianity are filled not with polemic but with yearning: a spiritual and moral hunger for what Christianity could and should have been, and the "missed opportunities" for faith in a capitalist, secular age.
|
|
Listen, Democrats To the Editor: One function of a polemic in political dialogue is to tell people where to place the blame for their troubles, without necessarily drawing on a lot of research to make the case, and Thomas Frank's "Listen, Liberal" (May 1) appears to fit that description admirably.
|
|
Typically, attempts to bring both art and message to maximum effectiveness end with either an aesthetically weak but effective political message (see Ai Weiwei's Laundromat), or a visually compelling work that expresses little polemic nuance beyond commonly held postures (as in any of Robert Motherwell's elegies to the Spanish Republic).
|
|
" The new book will have an introduction by the group's fugitive leader, Julian Assange, who has made no secret of his disdain for Clinton (because of her hawkish foreign policy views), and annotations from Doug Henwood, author of an anti-Clinton polemic called "My Turn: Hillary Clinton Targets the Presidency.
|
|
We're at a moment when I suspect audiences are not as interested in hearing from angry male comics, and yet the work of Lenny Bruce and Bill Hicks laid the groundwork that allows us to see Ms. Gadsby's roaring polemic wrapped in jokes as firmly part of a stand-up tradition.
|
|
While the Beirut-born artist's 40-year career has consistently invited interpretation based in institutional critique and the real-world tumult so many of her works reference, it is equally constructive to consider her work from a psychological, rather than political, vantage — one driven by pathos much more than polemic.
|
|
Luther was a brave and brilliant man, but he was not the innovator he is made out to be by those who venerate him, those who detest him, or those who simply carry on in milder form with the assumptions about him that were established in the old days of raging religious polemic.
|
|
While I'm sure there are some who frown at the relentlessness of his political statements, who think that musicians should devote their Twitter accounts to publicist-written plugs for their albums, I can't imagine anyone disagreeing with this polemic: Mr. Levit, born in 1987, is one of the essential artists of his generation.
|
|
So, to pick out one example from many, the Independent Leyton Orient Forum has a comprehensive set of message board rules, after the official forum which preceded it was shut down owing to a variety of behavioural complaints (or what James McMahon in the New Statesman described as "years of problems with right-wing polemic").
|
|
He has labeled Palestinian statehood an "illusion," raised millions of dollars for a settlement near the Palestinian city of Ramallah in the West Bank and he has launched a full scale polemic on his critics in print, referring to a liberal Jewish group as "kapos," the word for Jews who cooperated with Nazis during the Holocaust.
|
|
One of the most refreshing things about Honig's novel (apart from the fact, which feels revolutionary for a mainstream novel these days, that the central plot doesn't get going until about a third of the way in, the author reveling in the details of his palace and its intrigues) is that it is neither satire nor polemic.
|
|
And if you're going to pick something to structure your presidency on, it seems to suggest, maybe a movie — which ideally has narrative coherence — is a better model than reality TV. What keeps The Reagan Show from becoming a polemic is one brilliant move: Save for a few explanatory captions, there's not one present-day talking head or commentator present in the film.
|
|
In 1749, as punishment for his skeptical and atheistic pamphlets, most particularly for his "Letter on the Blind" of that same year, an odd mixture of early perceptual psychology and a polemic against Christian superstition (the blind are both those who cannot see and those who choose not to see), Diderot was arrested and imprisoned, without trial or process, in the Vincennes dungeon.
|

Earlier that month, at a lecture in Lower Manhattan hosted by the arts journal e-flux, Lewis, who is 31, reflected on what some might see as an obvious irony to her crisscrossing the ocean to care for her ailing mother: Verso Books had just published her first book, Full Surrogacy Now, a polemic that calls for abolishing the family.
|
|
Advertise on Hyperallergic with Nectar Ads When I picked up Women of Resistance: Poems for a New Feminism, a collection of poems by 49 female-identified poets published by OR Books, I hoped to report that feminist poetry — and the new feminism that it represents — would not be a tragic, polemic trudge through the trash-pile that patriarchy has made of the world and women's lives.
|

Before the debates on truth and beauty with her circle of early 20th-century artists, intellectuals and writers known as the Bloomsbury Group; before the polemic feminist lectures at Cambridge; and before the ever-constant push to experiment with new forms of fiction, there was the impressionable young girl, born Adeline Virginia Stephen, who spent seaside summers in Cornwall, on England's rugged southwestern tip.
|
|
Despite months of Trump campaigning on a polemic and often offensive political campaign — calling Mexican immigrants "rapists" and "murderers," proposing a ban on Muslim immigrants, and childishly feuding with reporters, Clinton supporters, and his rival Republican candidates during the primaries — active establishment Republican elites have finally responded to a recently released 10-year-old hot mic recording of Trump bragging about sexually assaulting women with moral outrage.
|
|
But McGonagall's literary ineptitude is well known, and Mr Lerner's essay becomes most interesting when he ventures into more contemporary territory, attacking with polemic zeal what he sees as confused critical assaults on modern poetry: the belief in a "vague past the nostalgists can never quite pinpoint" when poetry could still unite everyone, or in a "capacity to transcend history" that often seems to rely on its poetic purveyors being "white men of a certain class".
|
|
Every week seemed to bring a new polemic about "mass immigration" (in reality, France granted refugee status to only 26,000 people who applied in 2016, and the total immigrant population has increased only slightly in the last 10 years) or the role of France's Muslims (estimated at less than 6 percent of the population, half of whom are largely secular) in formulating an Islam compatible with the French Republic or the importance of affirming French "culture," whatever that might be.
