Product Information
One of our most important cultural critics, at the top of her form, comments on a wide range of topics in both general and academic culture. In Loaded Words the inimitable literary and cultural critic Marjorie Garber invites readers to join her in a rigorous and exuberant exploration of language. What links the pieces included in this vibrant new collection is the author's contention that all words are inescapably loaded-that is, highly charged, explosive, substantial, intoxicating, fruitful, and overbrimming-and that such loading is what makes language matter. Garber casts her keen eye on terms from knowledge, belief, madness, interruption, genius, and celebrity to humanities, general education, and academia. Included here are an array of stirring essays, from the title piece, with its demonstration of the importance of language to our thinking about the world; to the superb "Mad Lib," on the concept of madness from Mad magazine to debates between Foucault and Derrida; to pieces on Shakespeare, "the most culturally loaded name of our time," and the Renaissance. With its wide range of cultural references and engaging style coupled with fresh intellectual inquiry, Loaded Words will draw in and enchant scholars, students, and general readers alike.

Reviews
"Modalityserves as an introduction, giving an overview of the main theories of modality, from modal logic, through Angelika Kratzer's seminal work, to more recent approaches. Here Portner manages to explain both the forest and the trees, illuminating, for each theory, both its intuitive appeal and its formal details. But the book is also a valuable reference for experts. It summarizes major areas of active debates, presents novel issues and challenges to current theories, and offers new solutions and directions, which will certainly inspire future research."--Valentine Hacquard,Language "Modern semantics and its interfaces with syntax and pragmatics have gone through an extraordinary development over the past twenty years, characterized by a break through in our understanding of major constructions. Modality figures prominently among them. Insights developed within logic and philosophy have come together with generative linguistics bringing about new fundamental understandings of how modality works in the languages of the world, what aspects of it are universal, what are subject to variation, and so on. This volume, written by one of the leading world specialists on this topic, with his characteristic, unassuming style, is accessible, and at the same time deep and highly engaging. It constitutes an ideal introduction for the beginner; but also the expert will learn from it (be they new facets of traditional problems or less familiar theoretical perspectives on them). An extremely valuable, up to date, inspiring resource." --Gennaro Chierchia, Harvard University "This book is sure to be recognized as the most thorough systematic survey of the semantics of modality yet undertaken. The detail of discussion makes it an extremely useful reference for everybody interested in themays, mights, andmight have beensof natural language. It is written with admirable care: gently introducing the formal tools needed, Paul Portner manages to bring the uninitiated reader to the forefront of present-day research." --Frank Veltman, University of Amsterdam "The first comprehensive, up-to-date survey of a wide range of modals and related phenomena. All types of sentential modality receive the extensive discussion they deserve, which integrates across such topics as tense, aspect, subjectivity, and performativity. The wide range of issues addressed in the book alone makes it a great reference book for those who work in modality." --Linguist List, Self-styled 'peripatetic writer,' Harvard Shakespearean, and culture critic Garber collects loosely connected but fascinating essays on a range of themes., "Masterfully bridging the gap between high culture and low, Garber's witty, accessible essays give us surprising angles on a host of topics."-Jonathan Culler, Cornell University, "Masterfully bridging the gap between high culture and low, Garber's witty, accessible essays give us surprising angles on a host of topics."-Jonathan Culler, Cornell University "A vigorous, revealing collection about the pleasures and revelations of close reading, whether it involves words, books, biographies, or ideas."-Kirkus Reviews "There is no one writing today who can make the dizzying leaps from the lofty summits of the academy to the down-and-dirty life in the street with such wit, clarity, and originality as Marjorie Garber does. In her latest collection of essays, Loaded Words, she takes her show to the place where it began--with language itself. She reads the words of our culture in new and explosive ways and puts them back together again so that they're never quite the same."-Leonard Barkan, Princeton University "Marjorie Garber has crafted an impressive career built upon words. Whether looking at the time-tested plays of Shakespeare or the ephemeral discourses of contemporary culture, she takes nothing about language for granted. Spirited master of both high and low, she compellingly demonstrates that the words we thought we knew are full of unexpected turns, shifts in meaning, and double dealings. This new collection of essays is at once vintage Garber and richly surprising."-Nancy J. Vickers, Bryn Mawr College, "Masterfully bridging the gap between high culture and low, Garber's witty, accessible essays give us surprising angles on a host of topics."-Jonathan Culler, Cornell University "A vigorous, revealing collection about the pleasures and revelations of close reading, whether it involves words, books, biographies, or ideas."-Kirkus Reviews "There is no one writing today who can make the dizzying leaps from the lofty summits of the academy to the down-and-dirty life in the street with such wit, clarity, and originality as Marjorie Garber does.
