Ivan Illich: An Intellectual Journey

David Cayley

“Cayley convincingly illuminates how Illich’s thought developed and how it revolves around certain central insights: complementarity, the vernacular, incarnation, and a reading of history that sees the West as a deviation from the Gospel. In so doing, Cayley reconnects Illich with the work of important contemporary social theorists—Latour, Agamben, Milbank, and others—and shows how Illich anticipated their work in many ways. This book is unique, much needed, and masterfully executed.”
—William Cavanaugh, author of Field Hospital: The Church's Engagement with a Wounded World

Consuming Painting: Food and the Feminine in Impressionist Paris

Allison Deutsch

“Consuming Painting offers an impressive new take on the history of late nineteenth-century French art, one that makes clear for the first time the sensorial range in the historical reception of modern painting. In her reevaluation and retranslation of art criticism, combined with her highly persuasive descriptions of a range of paintings, Deutsch shows the sustained discourse of desire and disgust built into the deeply gendered metaphorics of painting as culinary consumption.”—Marnin Young, author of Realism in the Age of Impressionism: Painting and the Politics of Time

Cohen, author of Education and Middle-Class Society in Imperial Austria, 1848–1918
