Bøker av Sean Burke

To millions of Japanese gamers, it was the Famicom. To our old comrades in the Soviet Union, it was the Dendy. But to most of us, it was simply the Nintendo. And it was every bit as beautifully and quintessentially 80s as Mr. T, Rick Astley and A Flock of Seagulls. The release of the Nintendo Entertainment System straddled the whole decade as it made its way around the whole world, en route to selling over 60 million units. One of those units proudly belongs to Burkey, the author of this NES retrospective book. Join me in this nostalgic walk through the past, as we take a look at 8-bit classics such as: Super Mario Bros. 1 - 3Donkey KongFinal Fantasy I - IIIDragon Quest I - IVMetal GearMetroidTetrisTecmo Bowl...and more!Check out what other NES leading lights have to say about this author!"Burkey analysis complete: Target is a waste of ammo" - Mega Man "If that guy shows up at my door again, he's getting vaporized" - Samus Aran "Who...?" - S.

In this now classic study, Sean Burke further explores the challenges faced by an authorial theory and revisits the enigmatic borderlines between life and work, life and (authorial) death.

The ethical question is the question of our times. Within critical theory, it has focused on the act of reading. This original and courageous study reverses the terms of inquiry to analyse the ethical composition of the act of writing.

This anthology provides a solid theoretical base for all those encountering the 'author' debate for the first time. It presents key readings from the main writers on authorship, including pieces from Plato, Descartes, Shelley, Freud, T. S. Eliot, Sartre, Derrida, Foucault and Borges, and puts the authorship debates into historical context.
