This book is an original exploration of Deleuze's dynamic
philosophies of space, time and language, bringing Deleuze and
futurism together for the first time. Helen Palmer investigates
both the potential for creative novelty and the pitfalls of
formalism within both futurist and Deleuzian linguistic practices.
Through creative and rigorous analyses of Russian and Italian
futurist manifestos, the 'futurist' aspects of Deleuze's language
and thought are drawn out. The genre of the futurist manifesto is a
literary and linguistic model which can be applied to Deleuze's
work, not only at times when he writes explicitly in the style of a
manifesto but also in his earlier writings such as "Difference and
Repetition" (1968) and "The Logic of Sense" (1969). The way in
which avant-garde manifestos often attempt to perform and demand
their aims simultaneously, and the problems which arise due to
this, is an operation which can be perceived in Deleuze's writing.
With a particular focus on Russian zaum, the book negotiates the
philosophy behind futurist 'nonsense' language and how Deleuze
propounds analogous goals in The Logic of Sense. This book
critically engages with Deleuze's poetics, ultimately suggesting
that multiple linguistic models operate synecdochically within his
philosophy.

A fresh new cover for a classic story from the Beginner Book range.
A little boy who overfeeds his goldfish begins an adventure that
brings even the police and a fire engine to cope with a fish out of
water. Beginning readers will delight in this fast-moving story.
Helen Palmer examines the Russian formalist concept of
defamiliarisation, or making-strange, from a contemporary critical
perspective, bringing together new materialist feminisms,
experimental linguistic formalism and queer theory. She explores
how we might radically restructure this gesture of making-strange
to create a dialogue with the affirmations of deviant, errant,
alternative and multiple modes of being which have become
synonymous with queer theory. Queer theory affirms multiple
dimensions of sexuality and gender, while defamiliarisation
celebrates shifts in perception. Palmer explores these processes
from a number of literary and philosophical angles, concluding with
a creative epilogue written in the voices of women throughout
history.

Inner Knowing illustrates that the human mind possesses the capability to consistently function at significantly high levels of perception, creativeness, and intuitiveness. Indeed, everyone has at one time in his life experienced a sense of mindful clarity that led to a Eureka! moment. In this latest addition to Tarcher's successful New Consciousness Reader series, Helen Palmer, author of The Enneagram, has compiled a collection of writings that explore such abilities and illustrate how they can be developed. Essays on exercising the mind, understanding synchronicity, experiencing "flow," establishing communication between the conscious and subconscious, utilizing the active imagination, listening to the body's feedback, and witnessing psychic displays of walking on fire, clairvoyance, and similar phenomena make up this enlightening, thought-provoking, and fascinating anthology. Contributors include: Bruno Bettelheim, Jean Shinoda Bolen, Sylvia Boorstein, Pema Chodron, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Betty Edwards, Erich Fromm, Daniel Goleman, Aldous Huxley, Carl Jung, Jack Kornfield, J. Krishnamurti, Philip Novak, Charles Tart, Montague Ullman, Frances Vaughan, Mark Waldman, and Roger Walsh. A sophisticated book representing the essence of the NCR series, Inner Knowing offers readers confidence in themselves as they reawaken subtle senses while learning to trust and utilize new ways of perceiving, knowing, and living.
The Ennegram is a remarkable personality typing system that defines nine types of people and how they relate. It also explains why we behave in the way we do by uncovering our unconscious motivations and deeply rooted influences. With vivid examples and insightful description, Palmer introduces the nine types -- Perfectionist, Giver, Performer, Romantic, Observer, Trooper, Epicure, Boss, and Mediator -- and illuminates each one's strengths, weakness, and potenials. Examining each type individually and in connection to other's, Palmer shows how all our relationships in love and work can thrive with a newfound understanding of our similarities and differences.

Helen Palmer examines the Russian formalist concept of
defamiliarisation from a contemporary critical perspective,
bringing together new materialist feminisms, experimental
linguistic formalism and queer theory. She explores how we might
radically restructure this gesture of 'making-strange' to create a
dialogue with the affirmations of 'deviant', 'errant',
'alternative' and 'multiple' modes of being which have become
synonymous with queer theory. Queer theory harnesses the creative
potential of indeterminacy in order to celebrate and affirm
infinite dimensions of sexuality and gender, creating space for all
human beings to express themselves without the classification or
judgement of prescriptive terminologies. Linguistic at its source,
but going beyond this limit just like defamiliarisation, the
liberating force of queer theory is derived from the removal of
terminological boundaries. Palmer asks what a 21st-century queer
defamiliarisation might look like and examines the extent to which
these affirmative or emancipatory discourses escape the paradoxes
of normativity or historicisation.
This book is an original exploration of Deleuze's dynamic
philosophies of space, time and language, bringing Deleuze and
futurism together for the first time. Helen Palmer investigates
both the potential for creative novelty and the pitfalls of
formalism within both futurist and Deleuzian linguistic practices.
Through creative and rigorous analyses of Russian and Italian
