immanence

The following six books all have the same title. Without looking them up, match each book’s subtitle with the author and publication details listed below.

• Coming to Our Senses: Affect and An Order of Things for Global Culture
• Coming to Our Senses: Body and Spirit in the Hidden History of the West
• Coming to Our Senses: Healing Ourselves and the World Through Mindfulness
• Coming to Our Senses: A Naturalistic Program for Semantic Localism
• Coming to Our Senses: Perceiving Complexity to Avoid Catastrophe
• Coming to Our Senses: Significance of the Arts for American Education

Author, publisher, year of original publication:

1. A report by the Arts, Education, and Americans Panel of the American Council for the Arts in Education (chaired by David Rockefeller, Jr.), McGraw-Hill, 1977.
2. Morris Berman, Simon & Schuster, 1989; Bantam Books, 1990.
3. Michael Devitt, Cambridge University Press, 1995.
4. Jon Kabat-Zinn, Hyperion Press, 2005.
5. Viki McCabe, Oxford University Press, 2014.
6. Dierdra Reber, Columbia University Press, 2016.

A few clues:

1. There’s something inherently Foucauldian in what two of the authors are up to. Both those books are listed next to each other on the list of titles above. One is by a woman, the other by a man.

2. In my perusal of the index and of reviews of the chronologically later of those two, I have found no mentions of the first. (Or of any of the others, for that matter.) That tells us something interesting about the relationship between academe and popular culture (and subculture).

3. Between them, the six authors include a cognitive scientist (who is female), a medical scientist (who is famous), a philosopher of language (who is male), a cultural historian (who left the United States for Mexico), a professor of Spanish (though that doesn’t tell you much), and a Rockefeller.

(Those should give long-time readers of this blog enough information to get at least 4 correct, and maybe even all 6.)
