On Farting: Language and Laughter in the Middle Ages (ISBN: 9780312234935) Allen;Allen, Valerie Quantity Available: 5
Book Description: St Martin's Press. Hardback. Book Condition: new. BRAND NEW PRINT ON DEMAND., On Farting: Language and Laughter in the Middle Ages, Valerie Allen, The study of the fart in medieval culture participates in the widespread and productive contemporary study of the body, its practices and its hermeneutics. As a consequence of the cultural materialist interest in the quotidian, criticism has moved away from an abstracted conception of selfhood toward an appreciation of how the concrete daily regimens of bodily habitus, generally taken for granted, shape the horizon of our cultural and individual consciousness. The fart, in its parodying of language and its logic of affinity, leads us ultimately to the problem of hermeneutics, of the art of interpretation itself. Although much of the medieval preoccupation with flatulence originates from the aesthetic of comic inversion, whereby fart "sing" or parody human language or are mistaken for departed souls, it also reflects a more serious interest in bodily health. A multifarious typology of the fart should permit a better understanding of the phenomenon's protean wealth of meaning.

On Farting: Language and Laughter in the Middle Ages (New Middle Ages) (ISBN: 0312234937 / 0-312-23493-7) Allen;Allen, Valerie Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: Palgrave Macmillan 2006-01-01, 2006. Hardcover. Book Condition: New. 0312234937 This book ranges all over the medieval world, using a dazzling array of sources, high and low, serious and humourous, literary, philosophical, artistic, even biblical exegesis, to uncover medieval attitutdes to the fart. This leads to much wider discussion on the idea of waste in the Middle Ages, and on words and word-play, particularly the idea that words themselves can be waste - the babble of biblical Babel itself a kind of fart. Along the way we meet such charming characters as Roland the farter who "performed" annually for Henry II of England. 239p (Palgrave 2007). 9780312234935. Hardback.
