    Métamorphoses des mythes : cristallisations et inflexions (2023)
    UGA Éditions
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Les textes présentés dans cet ouvrage s’inscrivent dans le prolongement des recherches de Chantal Foucrier, spécialiste reconnue de mythocritique, en particulier pour ses travaux sur l’Atlantide. Métamorphoses des mythes : cristallisations et inflexions propose un questionnement sur les usages et détournements du mythe, hier et aujourd’hui, que ces mythes se soient cristallisés jadis ou forgés plus récemment, qu’ils se rattachent à des personnages antiques comme Ulysse, Cassandre, Antigone ou La Llorona, à des villes (Cyrène, Magnitogorsk, Venise) ou à des îles, comme La Graciosa, ou encore à des figures comme le Diable ou des objets inquiétants tels le virus. Ces usages ont varié selon les époques, les rapports au mythe des écrivains considérés ici – Corneille, Cazotte, Beckford, Aragon, Broniewski, Brecht, Głowacki, Aldecoa, Mendelsohn et Rabau, parmi bien d’autres – ayant été inspirés tantôt par le besoin de convoquer des autorités irrécusables, tantôt par celui de faire jouer des figures et des récits fortement ancrés dans l’imaginaire collectif pour les interroger et en infléchir au présent les significations.

    Politique des lieux communs (2023)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: À voir le nombre actuel de travaux qui lui sont consacrés, le lieu commun, qui fut pourtant longtemps un paria et un proscrit, semble aujourd’hui populaire. Mais sa récente réhabilitation dans le paysage de la critique contemporaine aurait de quoi faire réfléchir la critique elle-même. Qu’avait-elle perdu en le vouant aux gémonies, si ce n’est peut-être ce « commun », ce lieu pour la communauté ? Et nous, qu’espérons-nous faire avec le lieu commun, si ce n’est réconcilier l’activité lettrée avec sa dimension politique, et par là défendre la place des humanités dans l’espace public ? Telle est donc notre hypothèse : le lieu commun, banal et abandonné, laissé au public et aux discussions de café, aurait à voir avec la chose publique et notre propre désir de communauté. En remontant aux sources de la pratique « humaniste » des lieux communs à la Renaissance, jusqu’à leur traitement dans l’enseignement et dans la transmission de la culture, les différents articles réunis ici entendent réinterroger la dimension proprement politique de l’usage des lieux communs par les lettrés de jadis et les critiques de naguère, mettant à l’épreuve le pont que cette culture entend jeter entre les générations via l’institution des « humanités » comme ciment d’une communauté à travers les âges, dans une prétention pacifique et universelle mais au risque de l’exclusion des individus.

    Lecture et altérités (2023)
    Éditions et Presses universitaires de Reims
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Lecture et altérités est le second volume de la collection « Approches interdisciplinaires de la lecture ». Il rassemble les communications présentées durant le séminaire interdisciplinaire tenu à Reims en 2006-2007. Après « Parcours de la reconnaissance intertextuelle » (session 2005-2006), il s’agissait d’élargir la perspective, de montrer que ce lieu commun du discours contemporain, l’altérité, se décline sous diverses formes : intertextuelles encore, mais aussi culturelles, sémiotiques, psychiques, génériques ; altérités de personnes ou de caractères… Selon l’angle de vue pris sur le texte à lire, selon la discipline convoquée pour penser l’autre, il faut ainsi concevoir des altérités, ce qui ouvre la voie à de nombreux croisements des perspectives. En attestent les contributions de chercheurs venus de France et d’ailleurs : linguistes, comparatistes, spécialistes de littérature française, espagnole, anglaise, qui ont contribué à enrichir ce volume. Les articles s’adressent à tout public intéressé par le rapport entre littérature et lecture.

    Materia frágil (2023)
    Iberoamericana Vervuert
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-03
    Description: How are the words and bodies arranged in the poem? How do they come into contact from their latitude, longitude and depth, from the verbal substance that defines them? Fragile matter: poetics for the 21st century in Latin America and Spain aspires to answer these questions through various approaches to current poetry, taking into account the limits, conflicts and new conditions of possibility of our being in common. To do so, several studies are proposed on the dissident aesthetics that are making their way on both sides of the Atlantic, on the latest performative drifts of lyrical discourse and the implications of our growing transmediality. Added to them is a series of inquiries about the poets of the 21st century and their intervention of the word through proposals that disturb the structure of the intimate and the collective, sexual identity or the family, provoking alternative forms of subjectivity. Starting from different national, cultural and historical horizons, these essays analyze the politics of the common, understood as a symbolic and material practice that runs through poetic discourse. They explore their space for emancipation and their work with the new articulations of violence. They think of poetry and its fragility as a condition for resistance.

    Modernism, Fiction and Mathematics (2023)
    Edinburgh University Press | Edinburgh University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Modernism in mathematics – this unusual notion turns out to provide a new perspective on central questions in and beyond literary modernism. Contrasting ‘mathematical fictions’ from and about the heyday of mathematical modernism, this book relates literary engagements with mathematical modernism to the wider context of modernist critiques of Enlightenment values and postmodern reassessments of modernist patterns. The analysis of canonical works by Thomas Pynchon, Hermann Broch, and Robert Musil demonstrates how mathematics is accorded a central role as a particularly telling indicator of modernist transformations, and how imaginative illustrations contribute to establishing mathematics as part of modernist culture. In its interdisciplinary exploration of modernist interrelations between the surprisingly closely related fields of mathematics and literature, the book draws on prose works by mathematicians, research in the history and philosophy of mathematics, and literary scholarship.

    Haiti Unbound (2023)
    Liverpool University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: An Open Access edition of this book is available on the Liverpool University Press website and the OAPEN library. Historically and contemporarily, politically and literarily, Haiti has long been relegated to the margins of the so-called 'New World.' Marked by exceptionalism, the voices of some of its most important writers have consequently been muted by the geopolitical realities of the nation's fraught history. In Haiti Unbound, Kaiama L. Glover offers a close look at the works of three such writers: the Haitian Spiralists Frankétienne, Jean-Claude Fignolé, and René Philoctète. While Spiralism has been acknowledged by scholars and regional writer-intellectuals alike as a crucial contribution to the French-speaking Caribbean literary tradition, the Spiralist ethic-aesthetic not yet been given the sustained attention of a full-length study. Glover's book represents the first effort in any language to consider the works of the three Spiralist authors both individually and collectively, and so fills an astonishingly empty place in the assessment of postcolonial Caribbean aesthetics. Touching on the role and destiny of Haiti in the Americas, Haiti Unbound engages with long-standing issues of imperialism and resistance culture in the transatlantic world. Glover's timely project emphatically articulates Haiti's regional and global centrality, combining vital 'big picture' reflections on the field of postcolonial studies with elegant close-reading-based analyses of the philosophical perspective and creative practice of a distinctively Haitian literary phenomenon. Most importantly perhaps, the book advocates for the inclusion of three largely unrecognized voices in the disturbingly fixed roster of writer-intellectuals that have thus far interested theorists of postcolonial (Francophone) literature. Providing insightful and sophisticated blueprints for the reading and teaching of the Spiralists' prose fiction, Haiti Unbound will serve as a point of reference for the works of these authors and for the singular socio-political space out of and within which they write.

    Description: Vanitas does not just address ephemerality but also the relationship of the self to history it negotiates identity and positions itself both self-critically and politically. In which contexts does contemporary culture take up this established motif of antiquity and the early modern period? Interdisciplinary considerations show how productive it can be to answer this question by reflecting on it in light of discussions about repetition.

    Writing Black Scotland (2023)
    Edinburgh University Press | Edinburgh University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Writing Black Scotland examines race and racism in devolutionary Scottish literature, with a focus on the critical significance of blackness. The book reads blackness in Scottish writing from the 1970s to the early 2000s, a period of history defined by post-imperial adjustment. Critiquing a unifying Britishness at work in black British criticism, Jackson argues for the importance of black politics in Scottish writing, and for a literary registration of race and racism which signals a necessary negotiation for national Scotland both before and after 1997.

    Lire l'〈em〉Histoire générale des Antilles〈/em〉 de J.-B. Du Tertre (2023)
    Brill
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: This book examines the historical ramifications of the concept of exoticism through a literary analysis of Histoire générale des Antilles (1654/1667-71) written by Dominican missionary Jean-Baptiste Du Tertre. The study gives a thorough account of the early French colonization of the islands and the ways in which this violent process of cultural encounters was represented. It argues for the necessity to reconfigure the notion of exoticism, both by revisiting contemporary theorization and by contextualizing it in regard to the history and aesthetics of the times. The study is thus both theoretical, in proceeding by a critical reading of different orientations of exoticism, and historical in offering an in-depth study of an author and a period that have received little attention despite their impact on French Caribbean literature and on the history of anthropology.

    George Sand critique (2023)
    Presses universitaires de Saint-Étienne
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: De 1833 à 1876, George Sand a poursuivi une activité critique. Elle a présenté pour la première fois Maurice de Guérin et Adam Mickiewicz, elle a tôt reconnu et salué Eugène Fromentin, défendu les romans de Flaubert, soutenu les créations de Victor Hugo exilé. Balzac avait songé à lui demander une préface pour La Comédie humaine. Écrivant sur la littérature de son temps et, plus rarement, sur la littérature du passé, George Sandˆ apparaît dans une position d’autorité paradoxale qu’elle a pu construire grâce au succès de son œuvre romanesque. Bien que femme, et souvent installée à Nohant loin de la capitale, elle sait utiliser avec beaucoup d’intelligence les nouveaux moyens médiatiques de l’édition et de la presse. Par la liberté du ton et des formes, ses articles participent de l’invention d’une critique d’écrivain, où l’empathie n’exclut pas la combativité. Le volume révèle combien fut déterminant le rôle joué par George Sand dans la vie littéraire et intellectuelle du XIXe siècle.

    Chapter 8 The Logics of Vulnerability (2023)
    Taylor & Francis | Representing Vulnerabilities in Contemporary Literature | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Tabish Khair’s Just Another Jihadi Jane (2014) explores the global phenomenon of female suicide bombers after the emergence of Islamic State of Iraq and Syria and the international reconfiguration of geopolitical power after 9/11. Khair tells the story of Jamilla and Ameena, two British teenage girls of South Asian Muslim descent who decide to join Islamic State in their search for their religious ideal of Islamic truth and their impending need for belonging and recognition. This chapter analyzes the multi-dimensional complexity of vulnerability exposed both in the story thematization and in the narrative mode of fictional testimony (Ganteau 2015). Firstly, it describes the story emplotment vertebrated along two different axes: the socioeconomic and cultural context that articulates vulnerability as precarity (Butler 2004; 2009) and the conditions of the precariat (Standing 2011); and female vulnerability to oppression and patriarchal violence after the girls move to Syria. Secondly, this chapter investigates the materiality of the narrative medium of fictional testimony as a precarious yet creative vehicle to expose vulnerability. Ultimately, this chapter contends that Khair’s story and narrative form particularize the stereotyped jihadi Jane, shattering to pieces the sociopolitical ungrievability imposed on their différance (Derrida 1968) and their wasted lives (Bauman 2004).

    Prismatic Jane Eyre (2023)
    Open Book Publishers
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: Jane Eyre, written by Charlotte Brontë and first published in 1847, has been translated more than six hundred times into over sixty languages. Prismatic Jane Eyre argues that we should see these many re-writings, not as simple replications of the novel, but as a release of its multiple interpretative possibilities: in other words, as a prism. Prismatic Jane Eyre develops the theoretical ramifications of this idea, and reads Brontë’s novel in the light of them: together, the English text and the many translations form one vast entity, a multilingual world-work, spanning many times and places, from Cuba in 1850 to 21st-century China; from Calcutta to Bologna, Argentina to Iran. Co-written by many scholars, Prismatic Jane Eyre traces the receptions of the novel across cultures, showing why, when and where it has been translated (and no less significantly, not translated – as in Swahili), and exploring its global publishing history with digital maps and carousels of cover images. Above all, the co-authors read the translations and the English text closely, and together, showing in detail how the novel’s feminist power, its political complexities and its romantic appeal play out differently in different contexts and in the varied styles and idioms of individual translators. Tracking key words such as ‘passion’ and ‘plain’ across many languages via interactive visualisations and comparative analysis, Prismatic Jane Eyre opens a wholly new perspective on Brontë’s novel, and provides a model for the collaborative close-reading of world literature. Prismatic Jane Eyre is a major intervention in translation and reception studies and world and comparative literature. It will also interest scholars of English literature, and readers of the Brontës.

    Langston Hughes, poète jazz, poète blues (2023)
    ENS Éditions
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: La poésie de Langston Hughes (1902-1967), poète majeur du xxe siècle américain, s’est développée dès les années 1920 en parallèle avec les musiques populaires que sont le blues et le jazz et parfois même avec les spirituals. Elle se pose à la fois comme un hommage à la culture noire et comme un geste esthétique original. Du début de sa carrière jusqu’aux années 1960, Hughes va chercher à déplacer vers le domaine poétique les caractéristiques rythmiques et thématiques des musiques qu’il aime et qui animent la vie des Noirs américains. Que ce soit dans The Weary Blues (1926) et Fine Clothes to the Jew (1927) ou beaucoup plus tard dans Montage of a Dream Deferred (1951) et Ask Your Mama (1961), Hughes fait le pari de la poésie jazz et de la poésie blues en s’attachant avant tout à la musicalité du poème, indépendamment d’une mise en musique qu’il juge secondaire. Cet ouvrage, qui constitue la première monographie consacrée à Langston Hughes depuis 1964, montre l’évolution de la pensée et de la poésie de l’écrivain et propose la lecture de ses poèmes « musicaux » les plus essentiels. Ce parcours permet de mesurer l’inventivité de sa démarche poétique et sa fécondité puisque des auteurs tels que Gwendolyn Brooks, Jack Kerouac ou encore Margaret Walker se sont largement inspirés de ce que Hughes lui-même appelait ses « poèmes jazz » et ses « poèmes blues ».

    Divining Nature (2023)
    Stanford University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: The Enlightenment remains widely associated with the rise of scientific progress and the loss of religious faith, a dual tendency that is thought to have contributed to the disenchantment of the world. In her wide-ranging and richly illustrated book, Tili Boon Cuillé questions the accuracy of this narrative by investigating the fate of the marvelous in the age of reason. Exploring the affinities between the natural sciences and the fine arts, Cuillé examines the representation of natural phenomena—whether harmonious or discordant—in natural history, painting, opera, and the novel from Buffon and Rameau to Ossian and Staël. She demonstrates that philosophical, artistic, and emotional responses to the ""spectacle of nature"" in eighteenth-century France included wonder, enthusiasm, melancholy, and the ""sentiment of divinity."" These ""passions of the soul,"" traditionally associated with religion and considered antithetical to enlightenment, were linked to the faculties of reason, imagination, and memory that structured Diderot's Encyclopédie and to contemporary theorizations of the sublime. As Cuillé reveals, the marvelous was not eradicated but instead preserved through the establishment and reform of major French cultural institutions dedicated to science, art, religion, and folklore that were designed to inform, enchant, and persuade. This book has been made possible in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities: Exploring the human endeavor.

    La vie du Buddha (2023)

    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Le Lalitavistara sūtra ou Sūtra du développement des jeux du Bodhisattva représente l'une des biographies traditionnelles du Buddha historique. Connu en Asie dès les premiers siècles de l'ère chrétienne, puis en Europe à partir du XIXe siècle, ce classique de la littérature bouddhique fut traduit plusieurs fois en chinois sous les dynasties Jin et Tang et inspira les artistes du Gandhāra (Pakistan) comme ceux de Borobudur (Indonésie). Basé sur la lecture du texte sanskrit et de ses traductions chinoises, le commentaire proposé dans ce volume permet de se familiariser avec cette œuvre unique issue de la doctrine nouvelle du mahāyāna, ou grand véhicule, tout en perpétuant des épisodes biographiques du Buddha des écoles anciennes. Sont ainsi abordés les différents genres littéraires, la structure du sūtra, les sources textuelles et mythologiques qui ont inspiré son auteur, ainsi que les thèmes de la souffrance, de l’impermanence, des jeux du Bodhisattva, etc. Ce parcours d’ensemble invite à mieux comprendre la manière dont la vie du Buddha a été écrite.

    Shylock et son destin (2023)
    Éditions Rue d’Ulm
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Comme Don Quichotte ou Robinson Crusoé, Shylock est l’une des grandes figures de la littérature mondiale, que l’on ait lu ou pas, vu représenter ou non le Marchand de Venise. C’est aussi l’un des personnages les plus complexes et les plus controversés du répertoire théâtral : acteurs, metteurs en scène, critiques et spectateurs s’y sont confrontés depuis plus de quatre cents ans. Bourreau ou victime ? Tragique ou comique ? Comment Shakespeare le concevait-il, comment le percevons-nous depuis ? Interprété par des acteurs de légende (Charles Macklin, Edmund Kean, Henry Irving, John Gielgud, Laurence Olivier…), Shylock a inspiré Hazlitt, Heine, Proust ou Henry James, non sans les troubler. Symbole économique convoqué par Marx ou Ruskin, il a aussi fait la joie des psychanalystes. Surtout, il a une place à part dans l’histoire de l’antisémitisme. Devenu un archétype, il permet une analyse passionnante des rapports entre la littérature et la vie. Après ce qu’a connu l’Europe au XXe siècle, nul ne peut voir Shylock sur scène sans frissonner.

    Description: The future is open: This is a basic assumption of modernity. It originated in the 18th century and still shapes our self-image today. This study uncovers another tradition: the effort to close the future again, to ‘fill it up’ with orders, models and political expectations. The theoretical and literary procedures of this closure from the period around 1800 recur in later phases of modernity as well.

    Synopses and Lists (2023)
    Open Book Publishers
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Textual practices in pre-modern societies cover a great range of representations, from the literary to the pictorial. Among the most intriguing are synopses and lists. While lists provide a complete enumeration of ideas, people, events, or terms, synopses juxtapose one against the other. To understand how they were planned, produced, and consumed, is to gain insight into the practices of what one can call management of knowledge in a time before our own. The present volume is the product of two workshops held in 2019 and 2021 as part of the research focus Textual Practices in the Pre-Modern World: Texts and Ideas between Aksum, Constantinople, and Baghdad, which was generously supported and funded by the Centre for Advanced Study (CAS) at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU), Munich. Aiming to understand how synopses and lists function in the literatures of the great intellectual traditions of late antiquity—the ancient Near East, ancient philosophy, and the three monotheistic religions Judaism, Christianity, and Islam—the volume offers a historical and transcultural perspective on synopses and lists, highlighting the centrality of these textual practices to allow storing, retrieving, selecting, and organising this knowledge. Both make deliberate – yet not always explicit – choices as to what is included and excluded, thereby creating lasting hierarchies and canons.

    Description: ArteletrA analyzes the Sixties in Latin America in order to revisit the core claim of literary and cultural studies to political relevancy in the contemporary world: the task of making visible the invisible. Though visibility can secure rights for the disenfranchised, it also risks subjecting them to the biopolitical and capitalist arrangements of space. What is at stake in this book is a series of aesthetic and ethical tools for engaging in politics-defined here as the potential to disagree-without first passing through visibility. These tools cohere around a practice Bartles calls "the politics of going unnoticed," which he derives from an archive of three noteworthy, though under-appreciated, authors who wrote during the Sixties: Calvert Casey (1924-69), Juan Filloy (1894-2000), and Armonía Somers (1914-94). For the first time ever, Casey, Filloy, and Somers are put in dialogue with one another to further demonstrate the unique contributions of Latin American writers to contemporary debates about the crossroads of literatures and politics. What unites them is their shared investment in stories about those who go unnoticed. As a practice, going unnoticed creates space and opportunities for queer, rural, and female subjects, among others, to step back from unjust institutions. As a political discourse, going unnoticed deactivates the binary structures of biopolitics (e.g., visible/invisible, pure/filthy, friend/enemy) that divide humans from one another in the service of power and economic inequality. Though the politics of going unnoticed was ignored during the Sixties for its apparent individualism, these three writers work through alternatives to the politics of visibility that has animated political discourse on the left for the last half-century. More than a self-interested critique, going unnoticed opens new possibilities for engaging in the messy business of politics while imagining and creating better communities.

    Description: Quel rôle la pratique du journal personnel peut-elle jouer dans l’existence de son auteur et comment saisir la circulation de l’autobiographique et du fictionnel dans une œuvre, dans une vie ? La mise en parallèle de l’écriture de soi dans l’œuvre de trois écrivains centre-européens, trois citoyens de l’Autriche-Hongrie du début du XXe siècle, permet d’explorer le labyrinthe de leurs constructions identitaires, une modernité autre : multilingue, entrouverte, étendue entre théorie et pratique du texte. Une analyse convergente du corps du texte et du texte du corps dans les écrits du Polonais Karol Irzykowski (1873-1944), du Tchèque Ladislav Klíma (1878-1928) et du Hongrois Géza Csáth (1887-1919) dévoile la généalogie de leurs premiers gestes d’écriture, intimes, bien souvent survenus en crise, mais poursuivis pendant un moment, ou toute une vie. Les traces du vécu derrière les lignes de l’œuvre.

    Divine Comedies for the New Millennium (2023)
    Amsterdam University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Dante's intranslatability paradoxically causes a steady flux of translations, overwhelming in America, much more modest in the Netherlands. However, the tiny Netherlands witnessed a remarkable boom of Dante translations around the year 2000: within a short period seven cantiche were translated by Dutchmen and seven by Americans. This historic moment gave rise to a seminar about these recent translations, and about the traditions of translating Dante in both nations. The American and Dutch Divine Comedies discussed in this volume are important landmarks in a long tradition of making Dante's work accessible to non-Italian readers in both countries. On this already crowded stage, however, every newcomer inevitably makes statements about how Dante's masterpiece should be read: as a poem, as a scholarly text or as a scholarly poem? The old polarization between the fearless (at times reckless) 'poetical' translators and the more cautious 'academic' translators is very much alive, and the choice seems one between compromise and confrontation, between caution and courage. This volume contains articles by Paolo Cherchi (University of Chicago, Università di Ferrara), Robert Hollander (Princeton University), Jean Hollander, Pieter de Meijer (University of Amsterdam), Paul van Heck (University of Leiden), and Ronald de Rooy (University of Amsterdam). This title is available in the OAPEN Library - http://www.oapen.org.

    Benjamin's Library (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-07
    Description: In Benjamin’s Library, Jane O. Newman offers, for the first time in any language, a reading of Walter Benjamin’s notoriously opaque work, Origin of the German Tragic Drama that systematically attends to its place in discussions of the Baroque in Benjamin’s day. Taking into account the literary and cultural contexts of Benjamin’s work, Newman recovers Benjamin’s relationship to the ideologically loaded readings of the literature and political theory of the seventeenth-century Baroque that abounded in Germany during the political and economic crises of the Weimar years. To date, the significance of the Baroque for Origin of the German Tragic Drama has been glossed over by students of Benjamin, most of whom have neither read it in this context nor engaged with the often incongruous debates about the period that filled both academic and popular texts in the years leading up to and following World War I. Armed with extraordinary historical, bibliographical, philological, and orthographic research, Newman shows the extent to which Benjamin participated in these debates by reconstructing the literal and figurative history of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century books that Benjamin analyzes and the literary, art historical and art theoretical, and political theological discussions of the Baroque with which he was familiar. In so doing, she challenges the exceptionalist, even hagiographic, approaches that have become common in Benjamin studies. The result is a deeply learned book that will infuse much-needed life into the study of one of the most influential thinkers of the twentieth century.

    Description: Que voit-on dans le miroir aux sorcières ? Quelles sont les images insoupçonnées qui s’y discernent par-delà le cadre conventionnel d’une perspective normée ? Dans la courbure du miroir, on est tenté de repérer les formes connues et d’en restaurer la géométrie familière. Plus complexe est la démarche, commune aux textes de ce recueil, qui consiste à traquer le supplément de connaissance et de vision que le poème au miroir convexe permet d’inclure – ce hors-cadre poétique qui ne doit pas rester relégué dans le non-vu, le non-dit, le non-lu. La tentation révélatoire donne lieu, chez John Ashbery, à une poésie dont la difficulté tient à sa volonté d’embrassement total d’un réel contre-intuitif. Ses poèmes se donnent tous à lire au miroir convexe, tangentiel et déviant, dans la courbure d’un espace-temps qui est autant celui de la science que celui, océanique, des « dangereux rêves de la mer ».

    Description: A little over 100 years ago, the first production of An-sky’s The Dybbuk, a play about the possession of a young woman by a dislocated spirit, opened in Warsaw. In the century that followed, The Dybbuk became a theatrical conduit for a wide range of discourses about Jews, belonging, and modernity. This timeless Yiddish play about spiritual possession beyond the grave would go on to exert a remarkable and unforgettable impact on modern theater, film, literature, music, and culture. The Dybbuk Century collects essays from an interdisciplinary group of scholars who explore the play’s original Yiddish and Hebrew productions and offer critical reflections on the play’s enduring influence. The collection will appeal to scholars, students, and theater practitioners, as well as general readers.

    Otherness and National Identity in 19th-Century Spanish Literature (2023)
    Brill
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Which were the mechanisms by which certain groups were positioned at the margins of national narratives during the nineteenth century, either via their exclusion from these narratives of through their incorporation into them as ‘others’? By engaging with shifting ideas of exclusion and difference, the authors in this book reflect upon the paradoxical centrality of the subaltern at a time when literature was deployed as a tool for nation building. The lasting presence of the Jewish and Moorish legacy, the portrayal of gypsy characters, or the changing notions of femininity in public discourse exemplify the ways in which images of marginal ‘types’ played a central role in the configuration of the very idea of Spanishness. ¿Cuáles fueron los mecanismos mediante los que ciertos grupos fueron relegados a los márgenes del relato nacional durante el siglo XIX, bien a través de su exclusión de dichos relatos, bien a través de su incorporación a ellos como "otros"? A través del análisis de las ideas de exclusión y diferencia, los autores de este libro reflexionan sobre la paradójica centralidad de lo marginal en una época en la que la literatura fue una herramienta fundamental para la construcción de la nación. La pervivencia del legado judío y morisco, la representación de personajes gitanos o las distintas nociones de feminidad presentes en el discurso público ejemplifican las formas en que las imágenes de "tipos" marginales desempeñaron un papel central en la configuración de la idea de españolidad.

    Destins de femmes (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: Destins de femmes is the first comprehensive overview of French women writers during the turbulent period of 1750-1850. John Isbell provides an essential collection that illuminates the impact women writers had on French literature and politics during a time marked by three revolutions, the influx of Romantic art, and rapid technological change. Each of the book’s thirty chapters introduces a prominent work by a different female author writing in French during the period, from Germaine de Staël to George Sand, from the admired salon libertine Marie du Deffand to Flora Tristan, tireless campaigner for socialism and women’s rights. Isbell draws from multi-genre writers working in prose, poetry and correspondence and addresses the breadth of women’s contribution to the literature of the age. Isbell also details the important events which shaped the writers’ lives and contextualises their work amidst the liberties both given and taken away from women during the period. This anthology fills a significant gap in the secondary literature on this transformative century, which often overlooks women who were working and active. It invites a further gendered investigation of the impact of revolution and Romanticism on the content and nature of French women’s writing, and will therefore be appropriate for both general readers, students, and academics analysing history and literature through a feminist lens.

    Remember the Hand (2023)
    Fordham University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Remember the Hand studies a body of articulate manuscript books from the Christian monasteries of northern Iberia in the tenth and eleventh centuries. These exceptional, richly illuminated codices have in common an urgent sense of scribal presence—scribes name themselves, describe themselves, even paint their own portraits. While marginal notes, even biographical ones, are a common feature of medieval manuscripts, rarely do scribes make themselves so fully known. These writers address the reader directly, asking for prayers of intercession and sharing of themselves. They ask the reader to join them in not only acknowledging the labor of writing but also in theorizing it through analogy to agricultural work or textile production, tending a garden of knowledge, weaving a text out of words.By mining this corpus of articulate codices (known to a school of Iberian codicologists, but virtually unstudied outside that community), Catherine Brown recovers these scribes’ understanding of reading as a powerful, intimate encounter between many parties—authors and their text, scribes and their pen, patrons and their art-object, readers and the words and images before their eyes—all mediated by the material object known as the book. By rendering that mediation conspicuous and reminding us of the labor that necessarily precedes that mediation, the scribes reach out to us across time with a simple but profound directive: Remember the hand.Remember the Hand is available from the publisher on an open-access basis.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-23
    Description: This volume explores the bodies that are subjects and objects of violence; bodies that, by simply being, narrate their traumatic experience. Contributors attune to the dialogic and hybrid relations that connect bodies and environments, and to the horizons of imaginative, future-worldbuilding possibilities that they open through acts of transmission, translation, and transfer. Refracting to something other than the body’s own physicality – to multiple (multidirectional) networks – the chapters in this volume map and weave an ecosystem of interlacing bodies that are human, animal, vegetal, natural and technological; that are both singular and collective (i.e. a social body); that are situated in both the physical and virtual space; that are mythological and ephemeral; and that express naturecultural entanglements.

    Springer Nature | Palgrave Macmillan
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: This open access book focuses on the textual features, or ‘strategies’, which form popularization discourse. In popularization discourse, research findings from academia are re-presented to make them noteworthy to society and influential for everyday life. Popularization involves recontextualization, or reimagination of findings in an everyday and newsworthy context, and reformulation, the use of audience-appropriate language to increase text comprehension and engagement. ‘Re-presenting research’ presents an empirically grounded, analytic framework for the analysis of popularization texts. Its applicability spans across disciplinary, multidisciplinary, and interdisciplinary fields, and overarches science communication, science journalism, and research communication. The book offers theoretical background information on popularization discourse, empirical underpinning of the construction of the framework, and practical applicability in examples from multiple text types and academic fields. This book acts as a guide for those working with or on popularization discourse – whether it is to analyze it or learn about it.

    Science Fiction and Climate Change (2023)
    Liverpool University Press | Liverpool University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Despite the occasional upsurge of climate change scepticism amongst Anglophone conservative politicians and journalists, there is still a near-consensus amongst climate scientists that current levels of atmospheric greenhouse gas are sufficient to alter global weather patterns to disastrous effect. The resultant climate crisis is simultaneously both a natural and a socio-cultural phenomenon and in this book Milner and Burgmann argue that science fiction occupies a critical location within this nature/culture nexus. Science Fiction and Climate Change takes as its subject matter what Daniel Bloom famously dubbed ‘cli-fi’. It does not, however, attempt to impose a prescriptively environmentalist aesthetic on this sub-genre. Rather, it seeks to explain how a genre defined in relation to science finds itself obliged to produce fictional responses to the problems actually thrown up by contemporary scientific research. Milner and Burgmann adopt a historically and geographically comparatist framework, analysing print and audio-visual texts drawn from a number of different contexts, especially Australia, Britain, Canada, China, Finland, France, Germany, Japan and the United States. Inspired by Williams's cultural materialism, Bourdieu's sociology of culture and Moretti's version of world systems theory, the book builds on Milner’s own Locating Science Fiction to produce a powerfully persuasive study in the sociology of literature.

    Points of Entanglement in French Caribbean Travel Writing (1620-1722) (2023)
    Springer Nature | Palgrave Macmillan
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-27
    Description: This open-access book investigates Francophone Caribbean literature by exploring and analyzing French seventeenth-century travel writings. The book argues for a literary re-examination of the representation of the early colonial Caribbean by proposing theoretical linkages to contemporary Caribbean theories of creolization and archipelagic thinking. Using Édouard Glissant’s notion of points of entanglement, Christina Kullberg claims that the historical, social, and political messiness of the Caribbean seventeenth century make for complex representations and expressions, generating textual instability despite the travelers’ apparent desires to domesticate the islands. Taking a synoptic approach to travel narratives in French from 1620 up to the publication of Labat’s Nouveau voyage aux Isles de l’Amérique in 1722, Kullberg examines textual instances where the islands and the peoples of this period disrupt and unsettle dominant French narratives and enter productively into the construction of knowledge and the representations of the region. Kullberg’s contribution is to read French early modern travels in situ as shaped by the archipelagic geography, its history and social formations in order to interrogate both the construction and the limitations of discourses of power.

    Don Quixote and Catholicism (2023)
    Purdue University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Four hundred years since its publication, Miguel de Cervantes's Don Quixote continues to inspire and to challenge its readers. The universal and timeless appeal of the novel, however, has distanced its hero from its author and its author from his own life and the time in which he lived. The discussion of the novel's Catholic identity, therefore, is based on a reading that returns Cervantes's hero to Cervantes's text and Cervantes to the events that most shaped his life. The authors and texts McGrath cites, as well as his arguments and interpretations, are mediated by his religious sensibility. Consequently, he proposes that his study represents one way of interpreting Don Quixote and acts as a complement to other approaches. It is McGrath's assertion that the religiosity and spirituality of Cervantes's masterpiece illustrate that Don Quixote is inseparable from the teachings of Catholic orthodoxy. Furthermore, he argues that Cervantes's spirituality is as diverse as early modern Catholicism. McGrath does not believe that the novel is primarily a religious or even a serious text, and he considers his arguments through the lens of Cervantine irony, satire, and multiperspectivism. As a Roman Catholic who is a Hispanist, McGrath proposes to reclaim Cervantes's Catholicity from the interpretive tradition that ascribes a predominantly Erasmian reading of the novel. When the totality of biographical and sociohistorical events and influences that shaped Cervantes's religiosity are considered, the result is a new appreciation of the novel's moral didactic and spiritual orientation.

    Poetry, History, Memory (2023)
    University of Michigan Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Wang Jingwei, poet and politician, patriot and traitor, has always been a figure of major academic and popular interest. Until now, his story has never been properly told, let alone critically investigated. The significance of his biography is evident from an ongoing war on cultural memory: modern mainland China prohibits serious academic research on wartime collaboration in general, and on Wang Jingwei in particular. At this critical juncture, when the recollection of World War II is fading from living memory and transforming into historical memory, this knowledge embargo will undoubtedly affect how China remembers its anti-fascist role in WWII. In Poetry, History, Memory: Wang Jingwei and China in Dark Times, Zhiyi Yang brings us a long overdue reexamination of Wang’s impact on cultural memory of WWII in China. In this book, Yang brings disparate methodologies into a fruitful dialogue, including sophisticated methods of poetic interpretation. The author argues that Wang’s lyric poetry, as the public performance of a private voice, played a central role in constructing his political identity and heavily influenced the public’s posthumous memory of him. Drawing on archives (in the PRC, Taiwan, Japan, the USA, France, and Germany), memoires, historical journals, newspapers, interviews, and other scholarly works, this book offers the first biography of Wang that addresses his political, literary, and personal life in a critical light and with sympathetic impartiality.

    Chapter 35 Migration and Narrative Dynamics (2023)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-07
    Description: How can narrative theory account for the changing roles of storytelling and storysharing in the public sphere? This essay proposes a new concept of narrative dynamics, one that generates well-constrained descriptions of specific elements, features, or qualities of narratives, as well as programmatic claims concerning their potential uses and effects. Narrative dynamics research is equally interested in the pragmatics of strategic framing and the grand narratives of human rights, in mundane stories of everyday experience and the intangible myths and masterplots which shape organizations, institutions, and cultures. Starting with the formal characteristics and functional qualities of narrative that contribute to its interactivity, the essay discusses phenomena such as narrative aggregation and normalization, event modeling, and narrative chaff. It then demonstrates how these new concepts produce new insights in the narrative ecology of the public sphere, by analysing key moments in European migration discourses since 2015.

    Tiananmen Fictions outside the Square (2023)
    Temple University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: An exciting analysis of the myriad literary effects of Tiananmen, Belinda Kong's Tiananmen Fictions Outside the Square is the first full-length study of fictions related to the 1989 movement and massacre. More than any other episode in recent world history, Tiananmen has brought a distinctly politicized Chinese literary diaspora into stark relief. Kong redefines Tiananmen's meaning from an event that ended in local political failure to one that succeeded in producing a vital dimension of contemporary transnational writing today. She spotlights key writers-Gao Xingjian, Ha Jin, Annie Wang, and Ma Jian-who have written and published about the massacre from abroad. Their outsider/distanced perspectives inform their work, and reveal how diaspora writers continually reimagine Tiananmen's relevance to the post-1989 world at large. Compelling us to think about how Chinese culture, identity, and politics are being defined in the diaspora, Tiananmen Fictions Outside the Square candidly addresses issues of political exile, historical trauma, global capital, and state biopower.

    Description: Après deux années dédiées aux « Paroles de lecteurs » et dans le sillage des Rencontres de Reims qui firent dialoguer les problématiques du jeu et de la parole, le séminaire Approches Interdisciplinaires et internationales de la lecture ouvre ici un nouveau volet de son investigation portant sur le contenu notionnel de la « lecture comme jeu » dont la modélisation est partiellement liée à l’histoire des recherches rémoises en la matière. Il s’agit en quelque sorte de faire jouer la théorie de différentes manières ce qui conduit, à partir de l’idée de jeu littéraire, à interroger un réseau de notions associées dans leurs implications linguistiques et philosophiques, sans oublier de soumettre l’idée de la littérature ainsi conçue à la pratique des textes d’écrivains.

    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Fuir avant demain est un roman de l’écrivaine américaine Kay Boyle paru en 1932. Le lecteur est entrainé dans le récit aussi émouvant que lumineux d’une escapade tumultueuse et désespérée dans l’arrière-pays grassois, au milieu des années 20. Cette fiction autobiographique témoigne d’une époque littéraire façonnée par l’expérience de l’exil et tourmentée par le sentiment de sa finitude. Paru en français pour la première fois en 1937, le roman est réédité ici dans une nouvelle traduction, proposée par Anne Reynès-Delobel, qui permet d’apprécier toute l’intensité et l’élégance de la prose poétique de Boyle, romancière moderniste unique, amoureuse des mots et de la vie. Femme aux multiples visages, architecte, écrivain, mère de six enfants, mariée à trois reprises, Kay Boyle (1902-1992) est un personnage hors du commun. Son œuvre considérable connut un très grand succès aux États-Unis. Le Cheval aveugle (The Crazy Hunter, 1940) a fait l’objet d’une traduction en 2008.

    Description: Esta investigación abarca un período histórico de intensas expectativas en la posibilidad de un cambio radical del orden establecido en América Latina. Sucesos como la Revolución Cubana, las luchas de liberación colonial de Asia y África, la derrota de los Estados Unidos en la guerra de Vietnam (1964-1973) o el estallido del Cordobazo (1969), llevaron a diversos núcleos intelectuales del progresismo y la izquierda a elaborar un proyecto político-cultural con asiento en una construcción revolucionaria de futuro inminente. Sin embargo, la radicalización de las posiciones ideológicas desató una serie de profundas disputas al interior de estos colectivos, en la medida en que la figura del guerrillero fue consagrándose como el máximo ejemplo de compromiso moral con la transformación del sistema capitalista. El interés de nuestra investigación se centra de manera especial en la compleja ambigüedad de tensiones que esta situación desató.

    Description: Unsanitary conditions in the Old Nichol were frequently invoked as a threat to public health and a justification for the clearance scheme that the area was undergoing at the end of the nineteenth century. A Child of the Jago follows these contemporary discourses by bracketing together the neighborhood’s insalubrious state with the moral character of its residents. Yet many social investigators made a point of countering these common depictions of the Old Nichol’s inhabitants. This chapter explores how journalism and social investigation in the 1880s and 1890s attempted to influence the neighborhood’s reputation as physically and morally corrupt and infectious.

    Dieu au Collège de France (2023)
    Collège de France
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: Dieu au Collège de France, volume 6 of the « Passage des disciplines » series, includes texts that were presented during the symposium “Dieu at the Collège de France”, which was held in June 2021, after the delays caused by the pandemic, as part of “Passage des disciplines. Global history of the Collège de France, 19th-20th century”. This research program and the series associated with it examines the genesis of scientific and literary fields of knowledge, their mapping and their evolution during the 19th and 20th centuries, on both national and international levels, from the standpoint afforded by the history of the renewal of academic chairs at the Collège de France. “Dieu” is, to be sure, not a new 19th discipline, or a “founder of discursivity”, as Foucault called the scholars who had invented not only new discourses, but, more broadly, discursive continents, new “épistemes”. God is certainly an ancient “inventor of discursivity” and the discursive continent that he has launched is considerably more diffuse than those which come from Freud, Darwin, Einstein or Durkheim, which were the object of preceding symposia, and, for the first three ones, of the first three volumes of the series. Yet, it seemed to us possible to examine, in collaboration with Thomas Römer, holder of the chair The Hebrew Bible and its Contexts, the science of God and how the Collège de France, at different times of its history, and through this institution, the university, higher education in general, the life of ideas, made way for the sciences of religion.

    Description: Doué d’une parole précise et cinglante, Benjamin Constant a été un journaliste et un homme politique de premier plan, depuis les dernières années de la Révolution jusqu’à la fin de la Restauration. Ses écrits politiques constituent un jalon essentiel de la réflexion sur les fondements de la société démocratique et de la vie parlementaire, en France comme dans le monde. Dans le domaine de la création littéraire, le cursif Adolphe s’est imposé comme une oeuvre majeure du roman à la première personne, et ses journaux sont un des chefs-d’oeuvre de l’écriture intime. Ouvrant une perspective nouvelle à la connaissance de Constant par la largeur du corpus envisagé, cet ouvrage analyse l’écriture, le style, la manière, tout ce qui fait la spécificité de l’esprit d’une oeuvre qui ne ressemble à aucune autre : de la fiction littéraire aux essais politiques, de l’histoire de la religion à la réflexion sur le théâtre, c’est un art exemplaire de l’analyse et de l’argumentation, un style singulier qui nous est révélé.

    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Jennifer Egan’s Manhattan Beach (2017) narrates the misadventures of young Irish Catholic Anna Kerrigan in her pursuit of a diving career in the New York docks during WWII. These misadventures are heavily conditioned by the accumulation of a series of structural vulnerabilities intersecting class, gender, religion, immigration, and disability, as well as political and economic corruption, which are emphasized against the backdrop of an impossible American Dream. The structural oppressions visibilized by Egan in this novel will thus serve to reflect on how the purported national invulnerability underlying USA’s imperialism in the second half of the 20th century was in fact based on obscuring national vulnerabilities that strongly resonate at the beginning of the new millennium. This chapter explores Egan’s formal experimentation with historical fiction as a calculated risk that draws its narrative strengths from the spectacularization of vulnerability while exposing the novel’s formal belatedness as a case of vulnerable narrative.

    Description: Literary writing has always found correspondences in oral performance. One could even think of writing a history of literature 'sub specie vocis'. However, it is with the technological innovations of the 20th century that this link experiences a new fortune, flanking its multiple aesthetic declinations with a growing scientific interest. The volume “The Forms of the Voice” is composed of several essays dedicated to the fraction of contemporary imagery that re-appropriates the sound dimension of poetry as well as prose. Bringing together theoretical reflection, historical and cultural description and philological analysis of case studies, these works articulate a reflection on the different expressions of the relationship between literature and orality in the second half of the 20th century.

    «La sana critica». Pubblicare i classici italiani nella Milano di primo Ottocento (2023)
    Firenze University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-06
    Description: In the early 19th-century, Milan was the most active Italian city in the publishing of books. There, collectors, librarians, scholars of ancient literature and young men of letters were protagonists in an intense activity of publishing classical texts. New editions of Divina Commedia, Petrarch's Rime, Boccaccio’s Decameron, Ariosto’s Orlando Furioso, Tasso’s Gerusalemme Liberata and of many works by writers of the 18th century were published in Milan, in particular by Società Tipografica de' Classici Italiani (Italian Classical Writers’ Printing Society). In a period rich in cultural and linguistic debates, even discussions on the procedures for publishing texts took on a new importance. By analysing the statements of the editors, investigating their textual choices, following their polemics, Alberto Cadioli, one of the well-known Italian textual bibliography scholars for the modern texts, underlines the importance of the «sana critica», the «sound criticism» – i.e. the philological practice, according to the language of that time - with which classical texts were published in Milan in the first decades of the 19th century. This book, that offers unknown data and a large documentation, reveals theoretical unexpectedly Modern observations and methodological indications, hidden in pages forgotten for many years.

    Possessed (2023)
    Cornell University Press | Cornell University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: In Possessed, Rebecca R. Falkoff asks how hoarding—once a paradigm of economic rationality—came to be defined as a mental illness. Hoarding is unique among the disorders included in the American Psychiatric Association's DSM-5, because its diagnosis requires the existence of a material entity: the hoard. Possessed therefore considers the hoard as an aesthetic object produced by clashing perspectives about the meaning or value of objects. The 2000s have seen a surge of cultural interest in hoarding and those whose possessions overwhelm their living spaces. Unlike traditional economic elaborations of hoarding, which focus on stockpiles of bullion or grain, contemporary hoarding results in accumulations of objects that have little or no value or utility. Analyzing themes and structures of hoarding across a range of literary and visual texts—including works by Nikolai Gogol, Arthur Conan Doyle, Carlo Emilio Gadda, Luigi Malerba, Song Dong and E. L. Doctorow—Falkoff traces the fraught materialities of the present to cluttered spaces of modernity: bibliomaniacs' libraries, flea markets, crime scenes, dust-heaps, and digital archives. Possessed shows how the figure of the hoarder has come to personify the economic, epistemological, and ecological conditions of modernity. Thanks to generous funding from New York University and its participation in TOME (Toward an Open Monograph Ecosystem), the ebook editions of this book are available as Open Access (OA) volumes from Cornell Open (cornellpress.cornell.edu/cornell-open) and other Open Access repositories.

    Chapter 8 Vulnerability through the Invulnerable Transhuman Lens (2023)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: This chapter examines representations of mental conditions in the dystopian backdrop for transhumanism in Netflix’s series Maniac. In the quest for human perfectionism, vulnerabilities are exposed and intensified by technological disruption. The transhumanist promise of human enhancement is presented in the series as hindering basic affect, self-awareness, and emotional response that in turn makes for human relational interdependence. Accordingly, it focuses on how the invulnerable transhuman figure is posed as a threat to subjectivity and autonomy. Vulnerability studies, ethics of care, neuroscientific theories on emotional sensations (interoception and exteroception awareness), and posthumanism give support to the chapter’s main thesis that this series posits characters’ fundamentally relational essence for wellbeing as based on rather different ethical grounds from those seen in the transhumanist paradigm, which is based on individualism, independence, autonomy and/or self-sufficiency via technology. For this study, theories on transhumanism, vulnerability, emotional, and ethical studies are introduced to give way to the analysis of the series. Firstly, the chapter explores Maniac’s representation of technology and mental health in a setting where characters seem to be in search of connections to move on to a discussion of the implications of relational and emotional engagement for characters’ wellbeing and autonomy.

    Arabic Exile Literature in Europe (2023)
    Edinburgh University Press | Edinburgh University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Since the 1990s, Arabic exile literature in Europe has increasingly become a literature written from the perspective of refugees, asylum seekers, undocumented migrants and others who are situated outside normatively defined citizenship. In this book, Johanna Sellman analyses the changing aesthetic and political dimensions of Arabic exile literature and demonstrates how frameworks such as east–west cultural encounters, political commitment and modernist understandings of exile – which were dominant in 20th-century Arabic exile literature – have been giving way to writing that explores the dynamics of forced migration and the liminal spaces of borders and borderlands.

    Shelley with Benjamin (2023)
    UCL Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-05
    Description: Yet what surprises me most of all at this time is that what I have written consists, as it were, almost entirely of quotations. – Compositions so produced are to poetry what mosaic is to painting. – It is the craziest mosaic technique you can imagine – and the very mind which directs the hands in formation is incapable of accounting to itself for the origin, the gradations, or the media of the process.Shelley with Benjamin: A critical mosaic is an experiment in comparative reading. Born a century apart, Percy Bysshe Shelley and Walter Benjamin are separated by time, language, temperament and genre – one a Romantic poet known for his revolutionary politics and delicate lyricism, the other a melancholy intellectual who pioneered a dialectical method of thinking in constellations. Yet, as the above montage of citations from their works demonstrates, their ideas are mutually illuminating: the mosaic is but one of several images that both use to describe how literature lives on through practices of citation, translation and critical commentary. In a series of close readings that are by turns playful, erotic and violent, Mathelinda Nabugodi unveils affinities between two writers whose works are simultaneously interventions in literary history and blueprints for an emancipated future. In addition to offering fresh interpretations of both major and minor writings, she elucidates the personal and ethical stakes of literary criticism. Throughout the book, marginal annotations and interlinear interruptions disrupt the faux-objective and colourblind stance of standard academic prose in an attempt to reckon with the barbarism of our past and its legacy in the present. The book will appeal to readers of Shelley and Benjamin as well as those with an interest in comparative literature, literary theory, romantic poetics, and creative critical writing.

    Poetic Images, Presence, and the Theater of Kenotic Rituals (2023)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-03
    Description: This book explores the interrelation of contemporary French theatre and poetry. Using the pictorial turn in the various branches of art and science, its observable features, and the theoretical framework of the conceptual metaphor, this study seeks to gather together the divergent manners in which French poetry and theatre address this turn. Poetry in space and theatricality of poetry are studied alongside theatre, especially to the performative aspect of the originally theological concept of ""kenosis"". In doing so the author attempts to make use of the theological concept of kenosis, of central importance in Novarina’s oeuvre, for theatrical and dramatological purposes. Within poetic rituals, kenotic rituals are also examined in the book in a few theatrical practices – János Pilinszky and Robert Wilson, Jerzy Grotowski and Eugenio Barba – facilitating a better understanding of Novarina’s works. Accompanied by new English translations in the appendices, this is the first English language monograph related to the French essayist, dramaturg and director Valère Novarina’s theatre, and will be of great interest to students and scholars in theatre and literature studies.

    Masterpieces on Japan by Foreign Authors (2023)
    Springer Nature | Springer Nature Singapore
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: This open access book includes forty-one chapters about foreign observers’ discourses on Japan. These include a wide range of perspectives from the travelogues of curious visitors to academic theses by scholars, which offer us a broad spectrum of contents, reflecting a variety of attitudes toward Japan. The works were written during the period from the 1850s to the 1980s, a timespan during which Japan became, in stages, more open to the outside world after a long isolation under the Tokugawa shogunate. From the perspective of “Japanology,” one can discern three distinct periods of rising interest in the country from abroad. The first tide of such interest came shortly after the opening of Japan, when various foreign travelers, including those who could not be included in this book, came over and wrote down their impressions of the country—which was, for them, a land of mystery and mystique, which had just opened its doors to them. The second wave arose at the beginning of the twentieth century, just after the Russo-Japanese War, when Japan again generated a remarkable surge of interest as a “miracle” in Asia that had pulled off the wondrous feat of defeating a white superpower. The third wave was more recent, which took place from the late 1960s to the 1980s, a period of high economic growth when the “miracle” of Japan’s remarkable economic recovery from the defeat of World War II attracted enthusiastic and curious attention from the outside world once again. It is not the intention of this book to directly highlight such historical transitions, but these forty-two brilliant mirrors (forty-one chapters, including forty-two discourses), even when looked in casually, provide us with unexpected insights and various perspectives. Shōichi Saeki (1922–2016) was Professor Emeritus, the University of Tokyo. Tōru Haga (1931–2020) was Professor Emeritus, International Research Center for Japanese Studies.

    Voir et entendre par le roman (2023)

    Description: « Voir et entendre par le roman » réunit les actes du séminaire Approches Interdisciplinaires de la Lecture (AIL4), tenu à Reims en 2008-2009. De la vision au sens propre du terme à la représentation mentale en passant par toutes les formes de l'imaginaire, il n'est pas aisé de dire ce que le lecteur de roman voit effectivement par le double prisme de la fiction et de l'écriture. Le roman lui donne également à entendre au sens acoustique du terme et peut-être au-delà, selon des modalités variées, de l'audition racontée à la musique mimée par le texte romanesque, par quoi l'écriture narrative tend vers le poème. Le présent volume, approfondissant la notion d'hétérogénéité romanesque, objet du précédent séminaire, explore ces deux voies de l'expérience humaine. Il en étudie les affinités et décalages, à partir d'un corpus varié, brassant les époques et les aires culturelles. L'étude littéraire se nourrit au passage de réflexions anthropologiques, linguistiques et esthétiques.

    Queer Tolstoy (2023)

    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: Queer Tolstoy is a multidimensional work combining psychanalysis, political history, LOGBTQ+ studies, sexology, ethics, and theology to explore the life and art of Count Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy. Using a psychobiographical framework, Sethness Castro uncovers profoundly queer dimensions in Tolstoy’s life experiences and art. Deftly contributing to the progressive and radical analysis of gender and sexuality, this book examines how Tolstoy’s erotic dissidence informed his anarchist politics, anti-militarist ideas, and voluminous literary production. Sethness Castro analyzes the influence of Buddha, Socrates, Jesus, Cervantes, Rousseau, Kant, Herzen, Proudhon, Chemyshevsky, and his mother Marya Volkonskyaya on the artist’s writings. Furthermore, he details Tolstoy’s emblematic linking of LGBTQ+ desire with moral and erotic self-determination and resistance to Tsarist despotism-especially in War and Peace. This book is vital reading for those interested in the intersection of literature, psychoanalysis, queer studies, and Russian history.

    Cold War Reckonings (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: How did the Cold War shape culture and political power in decolonizing countries and give rise to authoritarian regimes in the so-called free world? Cold War Reckonings tells a new story about the Cold War and the global shift from colonialism to independent nation-states. Assembling a body of transpacific cultural works that speak to this historical conjuncture, Jini Kim Watson reveals autocracy to be not a deficient form of liberal democracy, but rather the result of Cold War entanglements with decolonization. Focusing on East and Southeast Asia, the book scrutinizes cultural texts ranging from dissident poetry, fiction, and writers' conference proceedings of the Cold War period, to more recent literature, graphic novels, and films that retrospectively look back to these decades with a critical eye. Paying particular attention to anti-communist repression and state infrastructures of violence, the book provides a richaccount of several U.S.-allied Cold War regimes in the Asia Pacific, including the South Korean military dictatorship, Marcos' rule in the Philippines, illiberal Singapore under Lee Kuan Yew, and Suharto's Indonesia. Watson's book argues that the cultural forms and narrative techniques that emerged from the Cold War-decolonizing matrix offer new ways of comprehending these histories and connecting them to our present. The book advances our understanding of the global reverberations of the Cold War and its enduring influence on cultural and political formations in the Asia Pacific. Cold War Reckonings is available from the publisher on an open-access basis.

    Description: Introduction: Aiming to provide a theoretical introduction that further informs the analyses conducted in subsequent chapters, this chapter will review the synergies operating among the different conceptualizations of vulnerability and various well-established theories that explore the materiality of the body and its affects from multifold viewpoints. Divided into three sections, the first explores some of the most salient critical proposals related to vulnerability and the body by manifesting the semantic multiplicity that applies to these terms. This is a necessary step to sketch an operational frame in which to contextualize the literary and filmic research endeavor of the collection. The second section ponders on the ethical and aesthetic features that make possible the integration of complementary and competing configurations of vulnerability in the production of literary texts and audiovisual productions and explores its salient elements that place literature and film as a privileged sites of expansion, critical reflection, and challenge of vulnerability both as a universal condition as well as a particular and specific manifestation in historical, geopolitical, social, and cultural and natural dimensions. Finally, the chapter closes with a brief description of the twelve essays collected in the volume by discussing their organizational logics and their distinct contribution to it.

Une seule parole, celle du poète, peut-elle réunir poète et lecteur ? Certes, trop de différences, d’espace et de temps les séparent souvent. Il faut sans doute chercher aussi d’autres rôles que celui du lecteur diligent. Le lecteur critique, le lecteur savant, le lecteur traducteur, le lecteur-spectateur, le lecteur voyageur sont quelques-uns de ces rôles, repérables dans les contributions ici rassemblées.

    Publication Date: 2024-03-27
    Description: The aim at the core of this book is a synthesis of increasingly popular and culturally significant forms of digital literature on the one hand, and established literary and critical theory on the other: reading digital texts through the lens of canonical theory, but also reading this more traditional theory through the lens of digital texts and related media. In a field which has often regarded the digital as apart from traditional literature and theory, this book highlights continuities in order to analyse digital literature as part of a longer literary tradition. Using examples from social media to video games and works particularly by postmodern and poststructuralist theorists, Digital Literature and Critical Theory contextualises digital forms among their analogue precursors and traces ongoing social developments which find expression in these cultural phenomena, including power dynamics between authors and readers, the individual in (post-)modernity, consumerism, and the potential for intersubjective exchange.

    Publication Date: 2024-04-07
    Description: By describing their present as ‘enlightened’, eighteenth-century intellectuals inevitably altered their relationship to the past. In search of an explanation for this Enlightenment, eighteenth-century authors created a historical narrative which connected European countries in a linear history from antiquity, through the barbarous Middle Ages, to the progress of the scientific revolution and, finally, to the enlightened present in which seventeenth-century knowledge was perceived as increasingly benefiting society as a whole. Even though this narrative served as a shared European history and identity, national varieties soon emerged. This book shows that, in the context of the European ‘Enlightened narrative’, the Dutch Republic formed an extraordinary case. Here, the narrative of progress collided with a simultaneous debate on national decline and a deeply rooted humanistic tradition. Dutch intellectuals, moreover, were forced to reconsider their national past and national identity. The Batavian myth, for two centuries the primary historical foundation of national identity, increasingly came to be viewed as ‘barbaric’. Consequently, the concept of a seventeenth-century Golden Age was invented.

    Publication Date: 2024-03-27
    Description: Described as the most widely read and influential serious writer of the twentieth century, George Orwell remains relevant in our own era of contested media. He continues to attract a large readership. This book is about Orwell’s post-war cultural moment c. 1948. Taking his Diaries of the time as inspiration, together with his famous final novel, 1984 (published 1949), and treating them as contiguous texts, Brian May considers the gaps, equivocations, and contradictions in Orwell's message and asks what Orwell would have written next. But 1948 is more than a work of literary criticism: rather, it balances critical discussion with creative intervention, being one-half literary-critical commentary, and one-half fictional departure – a novella titled “From the Archives of Oceania,” which quotes, parodies and pastiches Orwell's Diaries, offering a possible prequel. Together these elements offer a resource for the reader to interrogate anew such difficult issues as Orwell's sexism and anti-Semitism; to explore the tensions between various intertwining strands of thought that cast Orwell as both realist and idealist, Puritan and individualist; and to better understand Orwell's curious affection for the natural world. 1948 will appeal to all readers and critics of Orwell, but also to students of dystopian fiction, "revisionary" fiction and "reception study," which highlights the audience’s contribution to an artwork's meaning.

    The Utopian Dilemma in the Western Political Imagination (2023)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: In this volume, John Farrell shows that political utopias—societies with laws and customs designed to short-circuit the foibles of human nature for the benefit of our collective existence—have a perennial opponent, the honor-based culture of aristocracy that dominated most of the world from ancient times into early modernity and whose status-based competitive psychology persists to the present day. While utopias aim at equality, the heroic imperative defends the need for personal and collective dignity. It asks the utopian, Do we really want to live in a world without struggle, without heroes, and without the stories they create? Because the utopian dilemma pits essential values against each other—equity versus freedom, dignity versus justice—few who confront it can simply take sides. Rather, the dilemma itself has been a generative stimulus for classic authors from Plato and Thomas More to George Orwell and Aldous Huxley. Farrell follows their struggles with the utopian dilemma and with each other, providing a deepened understanding of the moral and emotional dynamics of the western political imagination.

    Literatura y narcotráfico en Colombia (1994-2011) (2023)
    Centro de Estudios Avanzados de la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Este libro consta de seis capítulos; en el primero abordamos la relación dialógica entre literatura colombiana y violencia, analizamos cómo se construye históricamente esa relación y cómo se contextualizan los temas y figuras en el corpus. En el segundo capítulo, caracterizamos la (narco)violencia de las décadas de los años 80 y 90, contexto histórico inscripto y configurado en los textos, para indagar en algunos topos y tropos. Elegimos leer, en el corpus, el narcotráfico como una peste; esto es, elegimos realizar un abordaje en clave de construcción nosológica. El orden de presentación de los temas no obedece a la cronología que traza el corpus a partir del año de publicación de los textos, ni a la intención de presentar cronológicamente los hechos narrados; nuestro interés se centra en analizar, en orden de visibilidad, los signos más ostensibles (la configuración social de un habitus) a los menos evidentes.

    Jewish Warsaw – Jewish Berlin (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: This book is a reflection on the Jewish presence in two European capitals, Warsaw and Berlin, in the first half of the 20th century. It was inspired by the works of Polish-Jewish, Yiddish and German-Jewish authors, as well as by the connections between urban spaces and the formation of different varieties of modern Jewish identity. The spotlight is cast on images preserved in literary works, namely those concerning separate Jewish neighborhoods and the sphere of cultural interethnic contacts. By attempting to restore the presence of Jewish inhabitants of both cities, destroyed by the Holocaust, it may become possible to see how the imagined communities of the time were created and preserved in the texts, even if, in reality, the metropolises were transformed into necropolises.

    Critical Essays on Arthur Morrison and the East End (2023)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: In 1896, author Arthur Morrison gained notoriety for his bleak and violent A Child of the Jago, a slum novel that captured the desperate struggle to survive among London’s poorest. When a reviewer accused Morrison of exaggerating the depravity of the neighborhood on which the Jago was based, he incited the era’s most contentious public debate about the purpose of realism and the responsibilities of the novelist. In his self-defense and in his wider body of work, Morrison demonstrated not only his investments as a formal artist, but also his awareness of social questions. As the first critical essay collection on Arthur Morrison and the East End, this book assesses Morrison’s contributions to late-Victorian culture, especially discourses around English working-class life. Chapters evaluate Morrison in the context of Victorian criminality, child welfare, disability, housing, professionalism, and slum photography. Morrison’s works are also reexamined in the light of writings by Sir Walter Besant, Clementina Black, Charles Booth, Charles Dickens, George Gissing, and Margaret Harkness. This volume features an introduction and 11 chapters by preeminent and emerging scholars of the East End. They employ a variety of critical methodologies, drawing on their respective expertise in literature, history, art history, sociology, and geography. Critical Essays on Arthur Morrison and the East End throws fresh new light on this innovative novelist of poverty and urban life.

    Race Characters (2023)
    University of North Carolina Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: A vexed figure inhabits U.S. literature and culture: the visibly racialized immigrant who disavows minority identity and embraces the American dream. Such figures are potent and controversial, for they promise to expiate racial violence and perpetuate an exceptionalist ideal of America. Swati Rana grapples with these figures, building on studies of literary character and racial form. Rana offers a new way to view characterization through racialization that creates a fuller social reading of race. Situated in a nascent period of ethnic identification from 1900 to 1960, this book focuses on immigrant writers who do not fit neatly into a resistance-based model of ethnic literature. Writings by Paule Marshall, Ameen Rihani, Dalip Singh Saund, Jose Garcia Villa, and Jose Antonio Villarreal symbolize different aspects of the American dream, from individualism to imperialism, assimilation to upward mobility. The dynamics of characterization are also those of contestation, Rana argues. Analyzing the interrelation of persona and personhood, Race Characters presents an original method of comparison, revealing how the protagonist of the American dream is socially constrained and structurally driven.

    Like a Captive Bird (2023)
    Lever Press | Lever Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: The full extent of Plutarch’s moral educational program remains largely understudied, at least in those aspects pertaining to women and the gendered other. As a result, scholarship on his views on women have differed significantly in their conclusions, with some scholars suggesting that he is overwhelmingly positive towards women and marriage and perhaps even a “precursor to feminism,” and others arguing that he was rather negative on the issue. Like a Captive Bird: Gender and Virtue in Plutarch is an examination of these educational methods employed in Plutarch’s work to regulate the expression of gender identity in women and men. In six chapters, author Lunette Warren analyzes Plutarch’s ideas about women and gender in Moralia and Lives. The book examines the divergences between real and ideal, the aims and methods of moral philosophy and psychagogic practice as they relate to identity formation, and Plutarch’s theoretical philosophy and metaphysics. Warren argues that gender is a flexible mode of being that expresses a relation between body and soul, and that gender and virtue are inextricably entwined. Plutarch’s expression of gender is also an expression of a moral condition that signifies relationships of power, Warren claims, especially power relationships between the husband and wife. Uncovered in these texts is evidence of a redistribution of power, which allows some women to dominate other women and, in rare cases, men too. Like a Captive Bird offers a unique and fresh interpretation of Plutarch’s metaphysics which centers gender as one of the organizational principles of nature. It is aimed at scholars of Plutarch, ancient philosophy, and ancient gender studies, especially those who are interested in feminist studies of antiquity.

    Description: Les échanges culturels et littéraires entre la France et l'Argentine reposent sur les importances singulières que les littératures des deux pays se sont mutuellement attribuées, sur des constellations de réseaux de traducteurs, enfin sur des « scènes » historiques essentielles. Depuis sa fondation, la jeune Nation argentine s'est nourrie d'une francophilie prononcée : la traduction de littérature française y est la pierre angulaire d'une politique d'importation culturelle aux orientations variables selon les évolutions politiques et culturelles du pays. La traduction de la littérature argentine en France a connu, quant à elle, une histoire plus intense que celle des autres pays d'Amérique latine – hormis le Mexique, peut-être –, fruit d'une série de rencontres personnelles et de projets intellectuels portés par des figures telles que L. Bataillon et A. Berman, ou encore D. Coste, A. Bensoussan et S. Baron Supervielle.

    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Lire l’hétérogénéité romanesque, troisième volume de la collection « Approches interdisciplinaires de la lecture », rassemble les communications présentées dans le cadre du séminaire AIL tenu à Reims en 2007-2008. La catégorie de l’hétérogène, comme celle de l’autre, objet du séminaire de l’an passé, traverse toutes les disciplines. De la simple différence d’éléments composant un tout selon une unification que certains qualifieront de dialectique, à la dissemblance plus accusée mettant en péril la belle unité du tout ainsi formé, se laisse déjà entrevoir l’ambivalence de l’hétérogénéité. La première partie de ce volume s’attache à en étudier les effets dans le cadre spécial de « L’expérience de lecture romanesque ». La seconde, « Lire la peinture par le roman ou le roman par la peinture ? », s’intéresse aux problèmes posés par l’association entre écriture romanesque et expression picturale. Complémentarité ? Coprésence dérangeante ? Deux formes encore de l'hétérogénéité.

    Description: De l’engouement né des volumes de Perrault ou des Grimm à aujourd’hui, l’attrait pour le conte ne s’est jamais démenti : parce que celui-ci invite à l’émerveillement, il a donné lieu à réécritures enjouées, adaptations admiratives, mais aussi interrogations et subversions démystifiantes. Toutefois, la critique, le déplacement dans un autre genre – récit filmique, photographie, notamment – ne sont pas déliaison mais réaffirmation du lien qui nous attache à cette énigme toujours renouvelée qu’est le conte – et avec lui le plaisir que nous y trouvons. Ce volume, généreusement illustré par la photographe Dina Goldstein et dirigé par Florence Fix (université Rouen- Normandie) et Hermeline Pernoud (université Paris 3-Sorbonne Nouvelle), réunit quinze textes analysant la permanence du conte dans la modernité : un conte dans tous ses états, malmené, adapté, raillé, déplacé, mais toujours vivace et propice à un réenchantement de la lecture.

    Borderblur Poetics (2023)
    University of Calgary Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-27
    Description: Beginning in 1963 and continuing through the late 1980s, a loose coterie of like-minded Canadian poets challenged the conventions of writing and poetic meaning by fusing their practice with strategies from visual art, sound art, sculpture, installation, and performance. They called it “borderblur.” Borderblur Poetics traces the emergence and proliferation of this node of poetic activity, an avant-garde movement comprising concrete poetry, sound poetry, and kinetic poetry, practiced by poets and artists like bpNichol, bill bissett, Judith Copithorne, Steve McCaffery, Penn Kemp, Ann Rosenberg, Gerry Shikatani, Shaunt Basmajian, among others. Author Eric Schmaltz demonstrates how these poets formed an alternative tradition, one that embraced intermediality to challenge the hegemony of Canadian literature established during the heydays of cultural nationalism. He shows the importance of intermediality as a driving cultural force and how its proliferation significantly altered Canadian cultural expression. Drawing on a combination of archival research, historical analysis, and literary criticism, Borderblur Poetics adds significant nuance to theories and criticisms of Canadian literature.

    Refugee States (2023)

    Publication Date: 2024-03-28
    Description: Exploring "refuge" and "refugee" as concepts that shape Canadian nation-building both within and beyond national borders, Refugee States takes an interdisciplinary and critical approach to describing how refugees articulate their relation to and defiance of official discourses. Through close examinations of refugee movements, contexts, and subjectivities, this collection reveals how Canada has relied upon the rejection and inclusion of refugees as a crucial means of statecraft. Bringing together renowned and emerging scholars from multiple disciplines, Nguyen and Phu illuminate the historical, political, and cultural conditions that produce refugees as well as the narrative of humanitarian benevolence that persists nationally and internationally. Highlighting landmark cases, the editors and contributors together develop critical refugee studies as a framework for understanding, nuancing, and critiquing the production of Canadian humanitarian exceptionalism - the international image and discourse of Canada as a liberal, tolerant, and welcoming haven for people fleeing oppression, persecution, and unfreedom. In doing so, Refugee States offers alternative modes of understanding past and present refugee passages to and within Canada, and brings to light the many ways in which refugee subjects navigate displacement, migration, and resettlement.

    Work and the Nineteenth-Century Press (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Extending the limits of the award-winning Routledge Handbook to Nineteenth-Century Periodicals and Newspapers (2016) and its companion volume (and also award-winning) Researching the Nineteenth-Century Press: Case Studies (2017), Work and the Nineteenth-Century Press: Living Work for Living People advances our knowledge of how our identities have become inextricably defined by work. The collection’s innovative focus on the nineteenth-century British press’s relationship to work illuminates an area whose effects are still evident today but which has been almost totally neglected hitherto. Offering bold new interpretative frameworks and provocative methodologies in media history and literary studies developed by an exciting group of new and established talent, this volume seeks to set a new research agenda for nineteenth-century interdisciplinary studies.

    The Riddle of Literary Quality (2023)
    Amsterdam University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: What is literature? Can we measure ‘literariness’ in texts themselves? The innovative Computational Humanities project The Riddle of Literary Quality asked thousands of Dutch readers for their opinion about contemporary Dutch and translated novels. The public shared which novels they had read, what they really thought of them, and how they judged their quality. Their judgments of the same novels were compared with the results of computational analysis of the books. Using evidence from almost 14,000 readers and building on more textual data than ever before, Van Dalen-Oskam and her team uncovered unconscious biases that shed new light on prejudices many people assumed no longer existed. This monograph explains in an accessible way how the project unfolded, which methods were used, and how the results may change the future of Literary Studies.

    Like a Captive Bird (2023)
    Lever Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: The full extent of Plutarch's moral educational program remains largely understudied, at least in those aspects pertaining to women and the gendered other. As a result, scholarship on his views on women have differed significantly in their conclusions, with some scholars suggesting that he is overwhelmingly positive towards women and marriage and perhaps even a "precursor to feminism," and others arguing that he was rather negative on the issue. Like a Captive Bird: Gender and Virtue in Plutarch is an examination of these educational methods employed in Plutarch's work to regulate the expression of gender identity in women and men. In six chapters, author Lunette Warren analyzes Plutarch's ideas about women and gender in Moralia and Lives. The book examines the divergences between real and ideal, the aims and methods of moral philosophy and psychagogic practice as they relate to identity formation, and Plutarch's theoretical philosophy and metaphysics. Warren argues that gender is a flexible mode of being that expresses a relation between body and soul, and that gender and virtue are inextricably entwined. Plutarch's expression of gender is also an expression of a moral condition that signifies relationships of power, Warren claims, especially power relationships between the husband and wife. Uncovered in these texts is evidence of a redistribution of power, which allows some women to dominate other women and, in rare cases, men too. Like a Captive Bird offers a unique and fresh interpretation of Plutarch's metaphysics which centers gender as one of the organizational principles of nature. It is aimed at scholars of Plutarch, ancient philosophy, and ancient gender studies, especially those who are interested in feminist studies of antiquity.

    Woekering en weigering (2023)
    Academia Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Jacq Vogelaar was the most radical champion of experimental form in post-war Dutch literature. After his debut in 1965, he published a series of novels in which he progressively pushed the dismantling of the traditional narrative form. Jacq Vogelaar was not only an innovator of literary form, but also a leading and often critical voice in the public debate on Dutch literature. By showing Vogelaar’s multifaceted literary activity from diverse perspectives, Woekering en weigering offers a representation of this underrated author that is refreshing and rich in nuance. It is a well-deserved tribute to a literary monument.

    Stendhal et les Mémoires (2023)
    UGA Éditions
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: On sait que Stendhal fut un fervent lecteur de Mémoires. Le rôle joué par ces lectures dans la constitution de son œuvre n’avait guère fait, pourtant, l’objet d’études approfondies. Cette question, ici, est au cœur de l’ouvrage, qui donne à mesurer son ampleur. La fascination de Stendhal pour les Mémoires est replacée dans le contexte de l’époque : ce genre, qui connaît un essor particulier sous la Restauration, influence à la fois historiens et romanciers, dans leurs tentatives concurrentes, mais aussi leurs efforts communs pour écrire l’Histoire de leur temps. L’importance, pour l’élaboration de l’esthétique stendhalienne, de cette relation à l’écriture mémorialiste est saisie selon une triple perspective : le livre mène d’abord l’analyse de la réception critique des Mémoires par Stendhal et des leçons qu’il en tire, puis fait apparaître le lien entre ses écrits biographiques et autobiographiques et les Mémoires postrévolutionnaires et bonapartistes, et enfin étudie, à travers l’exemple du Rouge et le Noir, comment le roman stendhalien travaille le matériau fourni par les Mémoires.

    Description: Bandits in Print examines the world of print in early modern China, focusing on the classic novel The Water Margin (Shuihu zhuan). Depending on which edition a reader happened upon, The Water Margin could offer vastly different experiences, a characteristic of the early modern Chinese novel genre and the shifting print culture of the era. Scott W. Gregory argues that the traditional novel is best understood as a phenomenon of print. He traces the ways in which this particularly influential novel was adapted and altered in the early modern era as it crossed the boundaries of elite and popular, private and commercial, and civil and martial. Moving away from ultimately unanswerable questions about authorship and urtext, Gregory turns instead to the editor-publishers who shaped the novel by crafting their own print editions. By examining the novel in its various incarnations, Bandits in Print shows that print is not only a stabilizing force on literary texts; in particular circumstances and with particular genres, the print medium can be an agent of textual change.
