Risk Culture: Performance and Danger in Early America

Joseph Fichtelberg

4.9/5 (34423 ratings)

Description:"As a number of recent studies have shown, the north European commercial world made the precise calculation of risk a central concern of the intellectual project of exploration, trade, and colonization. The great merit of Fichtelberg's book is systematizing the imaged world of dangers, and charting the various kinds of ritual and discursive performances marshaled to deal with the pressure of the unspeakable in early America from the 17th into the early 19th century. The readings of texts are invariably careful, and the points made, persuasive."---David Shields, University of South CarolinaJoseph Fichtelberg is Professor of English and Chair of the English Department at Hofstra University.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
