    At Home with Ivan Vladislavić (2023)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: At Home With Ivan Vladislavić is the first comprehensive analysis of the works of Ivan Vladislavić. Bringing a flaneur’s "internal GPS" to postcolonial Johannesburg, Vladislavić established a critical sense of home via an intimate knowledge of geography and history. This sense of belonging can have positive ecological effects as we tend to protect what we know. The flaneur’s deep word hoard also helped him to develop a minimalist style, which was not only a means of living sustainably in the city, but in its humour and close attention to detail a way to make greening the city more of a joy than a duty. In this way, Vladislavić created a culture of sustainability.

    Cartografías cosmopolitas (2023)
    Purdue University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Tradición literaria y cartografías cosmopolitas: la poesía de León de Greiff is an in-depth study of the literary production of the mid-20th century Colombian writer León de Greiff. This book analyses his poetic works as a complex manifestation of literary cosmopolitanism and a challenging elaboration of cultural cartographies. The study of these elements offers a novel approach to an unexplored aspect of De Greiff’s poetry. Through a careful reading of De Greiff’s seemingly disorganized assimilation of French, Spanish, English, Middle Eastern, East Asian, and Northern European literary traditions, Ramírez Rojas understands his literature as a capricious self-fashioning of a poetic genealogy. This practice challenges the classical notion of tradition and displays an alternative practice of self-creation of a literary lineage that goes beyond the borders of national affiliation, linguistic proximity, and historical continuity. This book proposes to read León de Greiff’s poems as cultural maps that reveal both a desire of connectivity with the world and a need for reorganizing the imaginary library of world literature. Ramírez Rojas contends that the haphazard collection, accumulation, and rearrangement of elements derived from various cultural sources challenges the logics of local versus global affiliations. Similarly, as León de Greiff builds a worldwide network of connections from a self-assumed position of eccentricity, his works dispute the binary division of cultural centers and peripheries, revendicating marginality as a productive condition. The study of this alternative cosmopolitanism brings de Greiff’s writings into current debates about Latin American’s cultural positionality within the frame of cosmopolitanism and world literature.Tradición literaria y cartografías cosmopolitas: la poesía de León de Greiff es un estudio de la producción poética de este escritor colombiano de mediados del siglo XX. En este libro se estudian sus textos como complejas manifestaciones de un cosmopolitismo literario y como arriesgadaa elaboraciones de cartografías poéticas. El análisis de estos elementos ofrece una nueva perspectiva de acercamiento a una temática todavía inexplorada en la obra de León de Greiff. Por medio de una cuidadosa lectura de su aparentemente caprichosa asimilación de fuentes francesas, españolas, inglesas, de medio y lejano oriente, así como también de sus fuentes escandinavas, Ramírez Rojas propone comprender la literatura greiffiana como una tarea de elaboración de una genealogía poética propia. Esta práctica cuestiona las nociones clásicas de tradición y pone en marcha un ejercicio alternativo de autoconstrucción de un linaje literario que no está limitado por fronteras nacionales, proximidad lingüística ni continuidad histórica. Este estudio plantea la posibilidad de leer los poemas de León de Greiff como mapas culturales que revelan tanto un deseo de conectividad con el mundo como una necesidad de reorganizar la biblioteca imaginaria de la literatura mundial. Ramírez Rojas propone que la azarosa acumulación y reestructuración de elementos derivados de distintas cuentes culturales pone en cuestión las lógicas de afiliación global vs. afiliación local. De igual forma, dado que de Greiff construye una red de conexiones a partir una posición de auto-asumida excentricidad, sus trabajos poéticos disputan las divisiones binarias entre centros y periferias culturales, reivindicando la marginalidad como una condición productiva. El estudio de esta manifestación de cosmopolitismo alternativo inscribe su poesía en los debates actuales sobre el posicionamiento cultural de Latinoamérica dentro del espacio cosmopolita y los círculos de la literatura mundial.

    Description: Does Michelangelo’s art reflect Catholic orthodoxy or is it the work of a follower of the Reformation, forced to act in secret? The question of Michelangelo’s religious beliefs is still debated, and the positions taken tend to remain unilateral. This volume gathers contributions by art historians, literary scholars, and historians of religion who address this question in all its complexity.

    Dentro e fuori il testo. Dall’editoria alla filologia (2023)
    Ledizioni
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: I saggi raccolti in Dentro e fuori il testo rappresentano una sintetica summa degli studi di Alberto Cadioli, mettendo in risalto alcuni dei passaggi più rilevanti – dal punto di vista teorico-metodologico – di una lunga attività di ricerca. Pur nella varietà e nella dinamicità dei percorsi, queste pagine rivelano la fedeltà a un presupposto che, già individuabile nei primi lavori, è rimasto sempre presente: la vocazione a indagare i nessi che stringono chi crea il testo letterario, chi lo porta alla stampa, chi lo riceve. «Fuori» e «dentro» il testo, dunque, coltivando una critica letteraria che, nelle prime indagini, utilizza gli strumenti della sociologia della letteratura e della storia dell’editoria, e poi via via quelli della filologia, in particolare dei testi a stampa e della filologia d’autore. Dall’editoria alla filologia, dunque, con l’obiettivo di approfondire la storia dei testi e della loro trasmissione, la storia della loro genesi e della mediazione editoriale che li ha portati ai lettori nelle forme di un oggetto storicamente e materialmente definito. Le riflessioni teoriche e le indicazioni metodologiche dei saggi qui proposti hanno spinto Cadioli a percorrere sentieri scarsamente battuti, a suggerire indirizzi di ricerca nuovi sui quali sono cresciuti e consolidati nuovi orientamenti critici, ormai radicati nel panorama degli studi sull’Otto-Novecento letterario.

    In Search of the Swan Maiden (2023)
    NYU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: In her compendious study, [of the folktale of the runaway wife] Leavy argues that the contradictory claims of nature and culture are embodied in the legendary figure of the swan maiden, a woman torn between the human and bestial worlds. --The New York Times Book Review This is a study of the meaning of gender as framed by the swan maiden tale, a story found in the folklore of virtually every culture. The swan maiden is a supernatural woman forced to marry, keep house, and bear children for a mortal man who holds the key to her imprisonment. When she manages to regain this key, she escapes to the otherworld, never to return. These tales have most often been interpreted as depicting exogamous marriages, describing the girl from another tribe trapped in a world where she will always be the outsider. Barbara Fass Leavy believes that, in the societies in which the tale and its variants endured, woman was the other--the outsider trapped in a society that could never be her own. Leavy shows how the tale, though rarely explicitly recognized, is frequently replayed in modern literature. Beautifully written, this book reveals the myriad ways in which the folktales of a society reflect its cultural values, and particularly how folktales are allegories of gender relations. It will interest anyone involved in literary, gender, and cultural studies.

    Literary Citizenship in Scandinavia in the Long Eighteenth Century (2023)
    Boydell & Brewer | Boydell Press an imprint of Boydell & Brewer
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Sheds new light on European and regional book markets, the development of a public sphere and the impact of new media on intellectual, social, religious and political change. How do you become a citizen? Ever since printing was introduced, being a member of society increasingly involved reading and writing: for sociability and belonging, instruction and entertainment, profit and charity, spiritual awakening and political debate. Literary practices shaped and changed identities and the organisation of society during the Long Eighteenth Century. In Scandinavia, this happened locally, as well as transnationally - reading, writing and producing texts involved entanglements within and beyond the borders of the Northern European periphery of Norway, Denmark and Sweden. Focusing on 'literary citizenship', this volume uncovers the different ways in which engagements with print have mediated and established networks and communities, identities and agencies of multiple sorts in an interconnected media landscape. The result is a complex and intriguing history of the book in the Scandinavian region. This history is, on the one hand, influenced by a European market and tradition. On the other hand, it offers an important and different case of regional and local adaptation, marked by what has been termed a 'Northern Enlightenment'. This book will be of interest to scholars of European enlightenment studies and to those who are interested in the continuing debates surrounding print culture and history.

    Écrire la révolution (2023)
    Presses universitaires de Rennes
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Un temps oubliée, décriée, ridiculisée, la révolution est aujourd’hui à nouveau un problème politique clé. Outre le Printemps arabe, Occupy Wall Street, Nuit debout, ainsi que les commémorations d’Octobre 17 et de Mai 68 qui en ont réactivé l’imaginaire (voire le désir), un nombre croissant de romans, de récits, de pièces de théâtre et de recueils de poésie contemporains ont pour thème l’insurrection, le soulèvement et la révolte. Une bibliographie comprenant une cinquantaine de titres permet d’en mesurer l’importance. Cette présence de la révolution dans le champ culturel contemporain nous enjoint à reprendre une question posée il y a près d’un siècle par Léon Trotsky, à savoir : comment penser les rapports entre littérature et révolution ? De Jack London au Comité invisible, en passant entre autres par Alfred Döblin, Louis Aragon, Jean Genet et Pierre Michon, cet ouvrage interroge la manière dont les révolutions politiques (réelles ou imaginées, passées ou projetées) ont suscité des configurations et des questionnements esthétiques depuis le début du xxe siècle. Quelles relations entretiennent, dans ces textes, le poétique et le politique ? L’écrivain et le révolutionnaire ? La fiction et l’action ? Aux différentes contributions qui esquissent des réponses à ces interrogations s’ajoutent trois entretiens avec des écrivains (Arno Bertina, Leslie Kaplan, Nathalie Quintane) dont l’œuvre littéraire trame à nouveaux frais la question politique.

Il parlait de son étude, de ses recherches, de son atelier, de son laboratoire. Il parlait de faits, de gestes, d’actes et de textes. Il parlait de « poésie tapée aplatie en prose » ou de « prose aplatie ». Il disait qu’il n’aimait pas les « questions de cours ». Il disait qu’il voulait parler d’autre chose. Nous savons bien aujourd’hui qu’il ne s’agit pas de fabriquer de jolis petits ou grands poèmes. Que l’écriture a pour but la vérité pratique. Que la pensée se fait dans la bouche et dans les mains. Francis Ponge est bien, comme il le prétendait, un « suscitateur ».

    Sounding Off (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Intrigued by "texted" sonorities-the rhythms, musics, ordinary noises, and sounds of language in narratives-Julie Huntington examines the soundscapes in contemporary Francophone novels such as Ousmane Sembene's God's Bits of Wood (Senegal), and Patrick Chamoiseau's Solibo Magnificent (Martinique). Through an ethnomusicological perspective, Huntington argues in Sounding Off that the range of sounds -footsteps, heartbeats, drumbeats-represented in West African and Caribbean works provides a rhythmic polyphony that creates spaces for configuring social and cultural identities. Huntington's analysis shows how these writers and others challenge the aesthetic and political conventions that privilege written texts over orality and invite readers-listeners to participate in critical dialogues-to sound off, as it were, in local and global communities.

    Framed (2023)
    University of Michigan Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Framed uses fin de siècle British crime narrative to pose a highly interesting question: why do female criminal characters tend to be alluring and appealing while fictional male criminals of the era are unsympathetic or even grotesque? In this elegantly argued study, Elizabeth Carolyn Miller addresses this question, examining popular literary and cinematic culture from roughly 1880 to 1914 to shed light on an otherwise overlooked social and cultural type: the conspicuously glamorous New Woman criminal. In so doing, she breaks with the many Foucauldian studies of crime to emphasize the genuinely subversive aspects of these popular female figures. Drawing on a rich body of archival material, Miller argues that the New Woman Criminal exploited iconic elements of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century commodity culture, including cosmetics and clothing, to fashion an illicit identity that enabled her to subvert legal authority in both the public and the private spheres. "This is a truly extraordinary argument, one that will forever alter our view of turn-of-the-century literary culture, and Miller has demonstrated it with an enrapturing series of readings of fictional and filmic criminal figures. In the process, she has filled a gap between feminist studies of the New Woman of the 1890s and more gender-neutral studies of early twentieth-century literary and social change. Her book offers an extraordinarily important new way to think about the changing shape of political culture at the turn of the century." ---John Kucich, Professor of English, Rutgers University "Given the intellectual adventurousness of these chapters, the rich material that the author has brought to bear, and its combination of archival depth and disciplinary range, any reader of this remarkable book will be amply rewarded." ---Jonathan Freedman, Professor of English and American Culture, University of Michigan Elizabeth Carolyn Miller is Assistant Professor of English at the University of California, Davis. digitalculturebooks is an imprint of the University of Michigan and the Scholarly Publishing Office of the University of Michigan Library dedicated to publishing innovative and accessible work exploring new media and their impact on society, culture, and scholarly communication.

    Formative Fictions (2023)
    Cornell University Press | Cornell University Press and Cornell University Library
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-03
    Description: The Bildungsroman, or "novel of formation," has long led a paradoxical life within literary studies, having been construed both as a peculiarly German genre, a marker of that country's cultural difference from Western Europe, and as a universal expression of modernity. In Formative Fictions, Tobias Boes argues that the dual status of the Bildungsroman renders this novelistic form an elegant way to negotiate the diverging critical discourses surrounding national and world literature. Since the late eighteenth century, authors have employed the story of a protagonist's journey into maturity as a powerful tool with which to facilitate the creation of national communities among their readers. Such attempts always stumble over what Boes calls "cosmopolitan remainders," identity claims that resist nationalism's aim for closure in the normative regime of the nation-state. These cosmopolitan remainders are responsible for the curiously hesitant endings of so many novels of formation. In Formative Fictions, Boes presents readings of a number of novels—Goethe's Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship, Karl Leberecht Immermann's The Epigones, Gustav Freytag's Debit and Credit, Alfred Döblin's Berlin Alexanderplatz, and Thomas Mann's Doctor Faustus among them—that have always been felt to be particularly "German" and compares them with novels by such authors as George Eliot and James Joyce to show that what seem to be markers of national particularity can productively be read as topics of world literature. ; The Bildungsroman, or "novel of formation," has long led a paradoxical life within literary studies, having been construed both as a peculiarly German genre, a marker of that country's cultural difference from Western Europe, and as a universal expression of modernity.

    Environmental Knowledge, Race, and African American Literature (2023)
    Springer Nature | Palgrave Macmillan
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: This open access book suggests new ways of reading nineteenth-century African American literature environmentally. Combining insights from ecocriticism, African American studies, and Foucauldian theory, Matthias Klestil examines forms of environmental knowledge in African American writing ranging from antebellum slave narratives and pamphlets to Charlotte Forten’s journals, Booker T. Washington’s autobiographies, and Charles W. Chesnutt’s short fiction. The volume highlights how literary forms of environmental knowledge in the African American tradition were shaped by the histories of slavery and race, mainstream environmental writing traditions, and African American forms of expression and intertextuality. Turning to the Underground Railroad, debates over education and home-building, and the aesthetics of the pastoral and the georgic, Environmental Knowledge, Race, and African American Literature provides an original perspective on the African American ecoliterary tradition that uncovers new facets of canonical and understudied texts and offers new directions for ecocriticism and African American studies.

    Description: This volume collects works by Hispanists from different origins: from researchers whose mother tongue is Spanish and who carry out their work in the Hispanic world, whether peninsular or American, to those who work in regions where Spanish is a minority language and/or or who have acquired Spanish as a second language. This joyous diversity finds its expression in the works that make up this volume, highlighting one of the central objectives of the AIH: the academic and plural dialogue between the Hispanicisms of the world, an enriching and vivifying dialogue that knows no borders. Doing so for the first time outside of Europe and America takes on a very special significance, by inserting this multiplicity of perspectives into the present and much-needed dialogue between our peoples and regions. The printed book exclusively includes the opening speeches and plenary presentations, which were given by Myrna Solotorevsky, Patrizia Botta, Angela Schrott, Juan Diego Vila, Manuel Rivero Rodríguez and James Valender. The other papers are in open access

    Novel Translations (2023)
    Cornell University Press | Cornell University Press and Cornell University Library
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-03
    Description: Many early novels were cosmopolitan books, read from London to Leipzig and beyond, available in nearly simultaneous translations into French, English, German, and other European languages. In Novel Translations, Bethany Wiggin charts just one of the paths by which newness—in its avatars as fashion, novelties, and the novel—entered the European world in the decades around 1700. As readers across Europe snapped up novels, they domesticated the genre. Across borders, the novel lent readers everywhere a suggestion of sophistication, a familiarity with circumstances beyond their local ken. Into the eighteenth century, the modern German novel was not German at all; rather, it was French, as suggested by Germans' usage of the French word Roman to describe a wide variety of genres: pastoral romances, war and travel chronicles, heroic narratives, and courtly fictions. Carried in large part on the coattails of the Huguenot diaspora, these romans, nouvelles, amours secrets, histoires galantes, and histories scandaleuses shaped German literary culture to a previously unrecognized extent. Wiggin contends that this French chapter in the German novel's history began to draw to a close only in the 1720s, more than sixty years after the word first migrated into German. Only gradually did the Roman go native; it remained laden with the baggage from its "French" origins even into the nineteenth century.

    The Most Dreadful Visitation (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. Victorian literature is rife with scenes of madness, with mental disorder functioning as everything from a simple plot device to a commentary on the foundations of Victorian society. But while madness in Victorian fiction has been much studied, most scholarship has focused on the portrayal of madness in women; male mental disorder in the period has suffered comparative neglect. Valerie Pedlar corrects this imbalance in The 'Most Dreadful Visitation.' This extraordinary study explores a wide range of Victorian writings to consider the relationship between the portrayal of mental illness in literary works and the portrayal of similar disorders in the writings of doctors and psychologists. Pedlar presents in-depth studies of Dickens's Barnaby Rudge, Tennyson's Maud, Wilkie Collins's Basil, and Trollope's He Knew He Was Right, considering each work in the context of Victorian understandings-and fears-of mental degeneracy.

    Description: Our collective memory still associates the sixties with protest culture, but the legacy of the demonstrations is a topic of discussion to date. There is no shortage of myths about the sixties, but many facts and details remain unknown, including knowledge concerning literature of that time. Oproer in de letteren wants to offer insight into the complexity of the revolts by showing a contemporary perspective on the material. From Hugo Claus and racism to lyrics to pornography: the works in this book readjust the clichéd image of a defining period and show how Dutch literature interacted with an extraordinary decade.

    Les sagas islandaises : enjeux et perspectives (2023)
    Collège de France
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: L’Islande fascine autant par la beauté et l’hostilité de ses paysages que par la richesse de sa culture, héritée des Vikings qui colonisèrent l’île au IXe siècle. Pétri de cet imaginaire nordique, l’univers des sagas islandaises demeure toutefois injustement méconnu, malgré son inscription dans l’édifice littéraire de l’Occident médiéval et son influence frappante sur la création actuelle. Qu’est-ce qu’une saga ? Dans quel contexte ce genre a-t-il émergé ? Quel rôle jouaient ces récits relatant des événements tantôt légendaires, tantôt historiques, tantôt contemporains de leur composition ? Que disent de la société insulaire et de son identité ces textes ambigus ? Autant de questions auxquelles Torfi H. Tulinius répond par une lecture à la fois historique, littéraire et esthétique qui apporte un éclairage précieux. De la Saga d’Egil à la Saga de Snorri le Godi, en passant par la Saga de Njáll le Brûlé et bien d’autres encore, l’auteur explore les thèmes de la mémoire, de la violence et de la poétique qui traversent ces œuvres exceptionnelles.

    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Au xixe siècle, la presse devient le premier média de masse qu’ait connu la France : aussi désigne-t-on volontiers cette période, qui s’étend jusqu’en 1914, comme la « civilisation du journal ». Or, à lire les journaux les plus « modernes » de la monarchie de Juillet ou du Second Empire (La Presse de Girardin, Le Figaro de Villemessant…), on avise d’un surprenant paradoxe : le journal s’efforce d’inventer un dispositif communicationnel révolutionnaire, distinct de l’ancien modèle oratoire ; pourtant, celui-ci continue à imposer ses paradigmes et ses modèles d’écriture jusqu’à la Troisième République au moins. L’écriture journalistique des années 1836-1885, avant l’émergence en France de la grande presse d’information à l’anglo-saxonne, est constitutivement rhétorique. Quels sont les modalités et les enjeux de cette reconfiguration médiatique d’un très ancien héritage rhétorique ? Quelle conception de la communication et de l’espace public engage-t-elle ? Quel rôle réserve-t-elle à l’intellectuel, à l’écrivain, au journaliste ? Toutes ces questions sont décisives en un siècle où s’invente, en France, la démocratie.

    Galápagos (2023)
    Purdue University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Este libro intenta mostrar la representación textual de las islas Galápagos desde su descubrimiento hasta nuestros días. El argumento principal sugiere que la descripción de este espacio crucial para la modernidad, dada la retórica de los escritores de viajes y ficción, transforma el área insular para concebir formas alternativas del proyecto de construcción nacional en América Latina. Como resultado de las empresas coloniales, excursiones científicas, crónicas periodísticas o expediciones, la escritura de viaje de las Galápagos condiciona la formación del estado y su imaginario nacional. Esto ocurre por el capital simbólico que posee archipiélago y por el deseo de los intelectuales latinoamericanos de pertenecer a un territorio cosmopolita. El espacio insular funciona como un significante vacío donde los viajeros pueden comunicar su propio significado al narrar las experiencias de sus viajes. Este fenómeno crea una división conceptual y política entre la identidad de las islas y la nación ecuatoriana. Dichas ambigüedades narrativas crearon una ruptura que condujo a variaciones fundamentales en la forma en que los habitantes locales y entidades extranjeras interpretan las Galápagos hoy en día, ya que su literatura refleja una tensión particular de cara a las tendencias migratorias en las islas, así como los intereses globales que prevalecen en la apropiación del espacio. This book, written in Spanish, takes a literary and cultural studies model to explain the textual representation of the Galápagos Islands since their discovery until present day. The main argument suggests that the depiction of this crucial space for modernity in Western thought, given the rhetoric of travel and fiction writers, transforms the insular area with the intention of conceiving disparate forms of political displacement. Specifically, these depictions show several conflicts that arose from the seeking of identity in Ecuador during the nation-building project that took place at the time. As a result of colonial enterprises (scientific excursions, exile, tourism, journalistic pieces, expeditions, etc.), travel writings of the Galápagos condition the formation of the state and its national imagery because of the extreme symbolic capital of the archipelago and the desire of Latin American intellectuals to belong to a cosmopolitan territory.

    Description: Le présent volume qui rassemble les contributions au séminaire Approches Interdisciplinaires de la Lecture pour l'année 2013-2014 s’est donné pour objet, dans le prolongement de la réflexion sur « le corps à l’œuvre », d’interroger les articulations du fantasme et de l’Histoire. Corps, obsessions et histoire, personnelle et collective, sont en effet des éléments indissociables. Les études portent, dans la tradition de la collection, sur des romans de différentes aires culturelles, de l’Antiquité à nous jours. Il s’agit toujours d’explorer l’arrière-texte à l’œuvre chez l’auteur et le lecteur, autrement dit d’arpenter à notre façon « les sentiers de la création ».

    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: La fécondité du séminaire « Intertexte et arrière-texte » (AIL5) a conduit à remettre en chantier en 2010-2011 la notion toute nouvelle d'arrière-texte afin de mieux en cerner la validité et les limites éventuelles. Tel est le sens de ce sixième volume. L'arrière-texte correspond au faisceau complexe de données textuelles et iconographiques, de circonstances personnelles et collectives qui participent du mouvement de création dans la demi-conscience de l’écriture. A ce titre il inclut et dépasse le seul champ intertextuel. Sa reconstitution par le lecteur, toujours partielle, participe du processus de synthèse propre à l’écriture littéraire. Il se pourrait qu’avec cette ultime notion, produite dans l’effervescence des années 1960-1970 et temporairement oubliée, l’intuition des artistes ait précédé la critique et soit le chaînon manquant permettant de penser dans toute sa complexité le phénomène de création.

    Description: Qu’il les déplore ou qu’il s’en félicite, l’écrivain du XIXe siècle ne peut ignorer les nouveaux pouvoirs de la publicité appliquée à la littérature. Si de nombreux auteurs ont affiché une résistance farouche contre cette nouvelle donne commerciale qui fait de la littérature une marchandise, d’autres se sont montrés bien plus coopérants. En se généralisant au cours du siècle, la publicité éditoriale a poussé les auteurs à prendre une part de plus en plus active à la promotion ­commerciale de leurs œuvres et de leur personnage médiatique. Comment ont-ils répondu à cette double injonction ? C’est la question à laquelle les contributeurs de ce volume se proposent de répondre.

    Il lettore per amico (2023)
    Ledizioni
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Alimentando un filone di ricerca inaugurato qualche anno fa nell’ambito dei Seminari Balmas, e che intende esplorare pratiche ed effetti della lettura dei testi letterari, i saggi presentati in questo volume scelgono di collocarsi nel campo d’azione dello scrittore, per osservare le strategie con cui egli attira il lettore in un legame di empatia assai più stringente di una semplice affinità intellettuale. Che sia il complice che sostiene e legittima un’impresa trasgressiva, lo spirito eletto che risponde all’appello di una comunità ideale, o l’essere sensibile che allevia la sofferenza d’un’anima che gli si offre senza reticenze, il lettore amico è il sogno segreto d’ogni scrittore, anche il più elitario e sprezzante, o il più disperatamente chiuso in sé. Incontrare lo sguardo di qualcuno che accoglie, comprende, condivide è fare l’esperienza del perfetto amore: ed è paradossalmente l’atto di lettura – il meno tangibile dei congiungimenti – che può realizzare quest’utopia. Per inseguirla gli autori utilizzano, ciascuno a suo modo – al mutare dei contesti storicoculturali, e dei sostrati biografici in cui la creazione prende forma – gli espedienti di cui è provvista la loro arte: dalle scintillanti seduzioni dello stile alle allusioni nascoste, agli enigmi, ai messaggi criptati; dalle più sofisticate formulazioni retoriche all’invettiva, al grido, all’impudica esposizione di sé stessi.

    Oil Fictions (2023)
    Pennsylvania State University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-27
    Description: Oil, like other fossil fuels, permeates every aspect of human existence. Yet it has been largely ignored by cultural critics, especially in the context of the Global South. Seeking to make visible not only the pervasiveness of oil in society and culture but also its power, Oil Fictions stages a critical intervention that aligns with the broader goals of the energy humanities.Exploring literature and film about petroleum as a genre of world literature, Oil Fictions focuses on the ubiquity of oil as well as the cultural response to petroleum in postcolonial states. The chapters engage with African, South American, South Asian, Iranian, and transnational petrofictions and cover topics such as the relationship of colonialism to the fossil fuel economy, issues of gender in the Thermocene epoch, and discussions of migration, precarious labor, and the petro-diaspora. This unique exploration includes testimonies of the oil encounter—through memoirs, journals, and interviews—from a diverse geopolitical grid, ranging from the Permian Basin to the Persian Gulf.By engaging with non-Western literary responses to petroleum in a concentrated, sustained way, this pathbreaking book illuminates the transnational dimensions of the discourse on oil. It will appeal to scholars and students working in literature and science studies, energy humanities, ecocriticism, petrocriticism, environmental humanities, and Anthropocene studies.In addition to the editors, the contributors to this volume include Henry Obi Ajumeze, Rebecca Babcock, Ashley Dawson, Sharae Deckard, Scott DeVries, Kristen Figgins, Amitav Ghosh, Corbin Hiday, Helen Kapstein, Micheal Angelo Rumore, Simon Ryle, Sheena Stief, Imre Szeman, Maya Vinai, and Wendy W.

    The Ripple Effect (2023)

    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: In The Ripple Effect: Gender and Race in Brazilian Culture and Literature, Barbosa adopts a comparative, multilayered, and interdisciplinary line of research to examine social values and cultural mores from the first decades of the twentieth century to the present. By analyzing the historical, cultural, religious, and interactive space of Brazil’s national identity, The Ripple Effect surveys expressive cultures and literary manifestations. It uses the martial art-dance-ritual capoeira as a lynchpin to disclose historical ambiguities and the negotiation of cultural and literary boundaries within the context of the ideological construct of a mestizo nation. The book also examines laws governing gender in Brazil and discusses honor killings and other types of violence against women. The Ripple Effect appraises the contributions that some iconic female figures have made to the development of Brazil’s distinctive cultural and literary production. Drawing on more than fifteen years of field, archival, and scholarly research, this work offers new interpretative venues, and broadens the critical focus and the methodological scope of previous scholarship. It reveals how literature and other arts can be used to document cultural norms, catalog life experiences, and analyze complex constructions of social values, ideas, and belief systems.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-14
    Description: This open access book provides information how to choose and collect the appropriate metrics for a software project in an organization. There are several kinds of metrics, based on the analysis of source code and developed for different programming paradigms such as structured programming and object-oriented programming (OOP). This way, the book follows three main objectives: (i) to identify existing and easily-collectible measures, if possible in the early phases of software development, for predicting and modeling both the traditional attributes of software systems and attributes specifically related to their efficient use of resources, and to create new metrics for such purposes; (ii) to describe ways to collect these measures during the entire lifecycle of a system, using minimally-invasive monitoring of design-time processes, and consolidate them into conceptual frameworks able to support model building by using a variety of approaches, including statistics, data mining and computational intelligence; and (iii) to present models and tools to support design time evolution of systems based on design-time measures and to empirically validate them. The book provides researchers and advanced professionals with methods for understanding the full implications of alternative choices and their relative attractiveness in terms of enhancing system resilience. It also explores the simultaneous use of multiple models that reflect different system interpretations or stakeholder perspectives.

    Con i buoni sentimenti si fanno brutti libri? (2023)

    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: La celebre battuta di Gide che apre questo volume si propone di indagare il complesso rapporto fra etica, estetica e rappresentazione, ma riformulando l’aforisma in forma interrogativa: “Con i buoni sentimenti si fanno brutti libri?”. È proprio così? È ancora così? Ma è, in fin dei conti, davvero sempre stato così? Cercare di rispondere a questa domanda vuol dire riflettere non solo sul valore estetico delle opere, ma anche sulla liceità o sulla pericolosità delle rappresentazioni; significa chiedersi se la cosa di cui si parla conta e qual è il significato etico del come è condotta la rappresentazione, è organizzata la forma; significa anche riflettere su alcune complesse problematiche che sempre più spesso sono al centro dei dibattiti contemporanei: la relazione fra autorialità e opera, fra scrittura e mercato, il canone, la visibilità, il ruolo pedagogico della letteratura, la funzione delle istituzioni, della censura fino ai dibattiti sulla cancel culture, sul politicamente corretto, sulla cultura woke, sull’appropriazione culturale, su un certo moralismo di ritorno, sul ruolo ideologicamente orientato del culturalismo, le relazioni fra la voce letteraria di una soggettività subalterna e i criteri di attribuzione del valore estetico.

    Chapter 6 ‘In the Hospital + Out of the Hospital’ (2023)
    Taylor & Francis | Work and the Nineteenth-Century Press | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: In 1884, an article entitled ‘Hospital Nurses’, describing the role and responsibilities of nursing staff in hospital wards, appeared in the Leisure Hour. The author, who signed herself simply ‘M. E. H.’, was Margaret Elise Harkness, who, a few years later, would publish a series of novels on the conditions of the urban working poor under the pseudonym ‘John Law’. Harkness had been working as a professional writer, mainly for the periodical press, since 1881; prior to this she had spent several years training and working as a nurse and dispenser in various London hospitals. ‘Hospital Nurses’ describes nursing as a profession, stating: ‘Let no one imagine that this is work which all women can do.’ Nurses, Harkness explains, are marked out by their abilities, not their social class, as the work relies on cooperation and equal interaction between nurses of different class backgrounds. Although she gave up professional nursing, the voices of nurses and other medical practitioners are heard throughout Harkness’s long writing career. Nurses appear as characters and commentators in her work; but she also continued to invoke her own medical knowledge for decades after she abandoned her training. For instance, she used periodicals as platforms to give medical advice on epidemics she witnessed in Australian mining communities around the turn of the twentieth century. This chapter traces the voices of nurses as female professionals through Harkness’s contributions to periodicals from the 1880s to the beginning of the twentieth century.

    Studies in the History of Russian-Israeli Literature (2023)
    Academic Studies Press | Academic Studies Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: This collection of essays covers a hundred-year history of Russian-language literature in Israel, including the pre-state period. Some of the studies are devoted to an overview of the literary process and the activities of its participants, others—to individual genres and movements. As a result, a complex and multifaceted picture emerges of a not quite fully defined, but very lively and dynamic community that develops in the most difficult conditions. The contributors trace the paths of Russian-Israeli prose, poetry and drama, various waves of avant-garde, fantasy, and critical thought. Today, in Russian-Israeli literature, the voices of writers of various generations and waves of repatriation are intertwined: from the "seventies" to the "war aliyah" of the recent times. Both the Russian-Israeli authors and their critics often hold different opinions of their respective roles in Israel’s historical and literary storms. While disagreeing on the definition of their place on the map of modern culture, Russian-Israeli writers are united by a shared bond with the fate of the Jewish state.

    Le corps à l'œuvre (2023)
    Éditions et Presses universitaires de Reims
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: L'implication du corps dans la création artistique ne fait guère de doute : il constitue la quatrième dimension de l'arrière-texte, la plus secrète. Il en va de cette entité fuyante, proche et insaisissable, comme du temps selon saint Augustin : on croit savoir ce dont il s’agit, mais si on y réfléchit un peu, tout se brouille. Cet en-deçà du langage, culturellement (re)construit, fonctionne dans la langue comme un signe articulé à un référent barré, inaccessible. Encodant symboliquement la trace refoulée de pulsions ou hantée par la présence de cet innommable, la langue littéraire joue néanmoins le double jeu d’inscrire et d’ex-crire le corps, selon le mot d’Antonin Artaud.

    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Neste livro, Francisco Cláudio Alves Marques examina a participação do imigrante italiano no processo de urbanização paulista nos anos de 1920, no qual se misturavam trabalhadores de procedências diversas, como o escravo recém-liberto, o caipira e o imigrante italiano vindo da zona rural, todos “desenraizados” no espaço ou no tempo. É dessa perspectiva que o autor procura compreender as caricaturas elaboradas por Juó Bananére e António de Alcântara Machado, considerando-as mais do que manifestação de rejeição ou acolhimento do imigrante, mas expressão do papel desse contingente nas transformações por que passava o País no período em que se discutia a configuração da identidade nacional. Para lançar luz sobre a representação do imigrante italiano nas obras daqueles dois escritores paulistas, a autor considera aspectos históricos, sociológicos e culturais implicados no processo imigratório do início do século XX. Partindo da caracterização da personagem macarrônica, nos planos gráfico e linguístico, o autor chega a possíveis sentidos do efeito cômico dessa caricatura na percepção do papel do imigrante italiano na constituição da sociedade brasileira, aspecto que enseja sutil contraste com o nacionalismo na obra de Alcântara Machado.

    Réévaluations du Romantisme (2023)

    Description: « Appelons romantique Hugo et la discussion est close » écrivait Giraudoux. Pourtant, en revenant sur l’idée de romantisme dont il faut signaler que, dès l’apparition du terme, elle a paru, à la fois, vague et indispensable, dangereuse et vide, énorme et pourtant infiniment dépassée ; en revenant sur ses réévaluations qui embrassent non seulement le domaine de la littérature mais aussi toute la sphère sociale (de la politique à la mode) et tout l’éventail des effets (de la passion à la haine), c’est le champ du littéraire dans son ensemble que ce livre engage. C’est en effet l’idée même de littérature que le romantisme prétend avoir ouvert, au point de se confondre avec elle. L’histoire de cette idée, de sa construction, entre incertitudes, dénégations et particularismes, tel est l’objet de ce livre, organisé en quatre parties comprises comme autant de modèles d’un rapport à la mémoire, de ses résistances, de sa permanence : figures et fictions, rémanences, résiliences et histoire d’autorités. Les travaux réunis ici montrent indiscutablement que nous sommes toujours sous le régime, romantique, du sujet et que la discussion est loin d’être close.

    George Moore and the Autogenous Self (2023)
    Syracuse University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: In the midst of an explosion of interest in the field of autobiography, there have developed critical languages and approaches that allow us to read both George Moore's fiction and his fictive autobiographies in new and exciting ways. Elizabeth Grubgeld presents a fresh look at the diverse experiments in fiction and the highly ironic and multi-generic performances Moore put forth as his life story. She focuses on the tension between Moore's fascination with deterministic theories of human behavior and his need to assert a principle of self-creation, his "autogenous self." Moore's work exhibits a profound recognition of the forces of heredity, gender, culture, and history while simultaneously declaring his belief in an autogenous self. In early novels like A Drama in Muslin and Esther Waters, there is a notable conflict between his postulation of the pure, instinctive individual and the emphasis upon the shaping power of heredity and economics inherent in the traditions of social realism that he adopts. In The Untilled Field, The Lake, and later works, Moore perfects a narrative technique that in highlighting the power of subjective memory, allows his characters to work out a new relation with the forces of history. Grubgeld's discussion of satire, caricature, and parody as autobiographical forms will contribute greatly to an understanding of how Moore viewed the relations between the self and the surrounding world. This study, which also incorporates a theoretical discussion of letters as autobiography, will be of interest to specialists in Irish studies, late Victorian and modern British literature, gender studies, and autobiography.

    Description: This open access edited collection explores various aspects of how oceanic im/ mobilities have been framed and articulated in the literary and cultural imagination. It covers the entanglements of maritime mobility and immobility as they are articulated and problematized in selected literature and cultural forms from the early modern period to the present. In particular, it brings cultural mobility studies into conversation with the maritime and oceanic humanities. The contributors examine the interface between the traditional Eurocentric imagination of the sea as romantic and metaphorical, and the materiality of the sea as a deathbed for racialized and illegalized humans as well as non-human populations

    Living Labor (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-03
    Description: For much of the twentieth century, the iconic figure of the U.S. working class was a white, male industrial worker. But in the contemporary age of capitalist globalization new stories about work and workers are emerging to refashion this image. Living Labor examines these narratives and, in the process, offers an innovative reading of American fiction and film through the lens of precarious work. It argues that since the 1980s, novelists and filmmakers—including Russell Banks, Helena Víramontes, Karen Tei Yamashita, Francisco Goldman, David Riker, Ramin Bahrani, Clint Eastwood, Courtney Hunt, and Ryan Coogler—have chronicled the demise of the industrial proletariat, and the tentative and unfinished emergence of a new, much more diverse and perilously positioned working class. In bringing together stories of work that are also stories of race, ethnicity, gender, and colonialism, Living Labor challenges the often-assumed division between class and identity politics. Through the concept of living labor and its discussion of solidarity, the book reframes traditional notions of class, helping us understand both the challenges working people face and the possibilities for collective consciousness and action in the global present.

Using the example of the Neo-Spanish Dominican fray Servando Teresa de Mier (1763–1827), it examines how Hispanic American writers of the transition between the early modern and modern period transgressed geographic, cultural, and discursive border regimes, thereby preparing the political and literary independency of the previous Spanish colonies.

    Anti-Book (2023)
    University of Minnesota Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: No, Anti-Book is not a book about books. Not exactly. And yet it is a must for anyone interested in the future of the book. Presenting what he terms "a communism of textual matter," Nicholas Thoburn explores the encounter between political thought and experimental writing and publishing, shifting the politics of text from an exclusive concern with content and meaning to the media forms and social relations by which text is produced and consumed. Taking a "post-digital" approach in considering a wide array of textual media forms, Thoburn invites us to challenge the commodity form of books-to stop imagining books as transcendent intellectual, moral, and aesthetic goods unsullied by commerce. His critique is, instead, one immersed in the many materialities of text. Anti-Book engages with an array of writing and publishing projects, including Antonin Artaud's paper gris-gris, Valerie Solanas's SCUM Manifesto, Guy Debord's sandpaper-bound Mémoires, the collective novelist Wu Ming, and the digital/print hybrid of Mute magazine. Empirically grounded, it is also a major achievement in expressing a political philosophy of writing and publishing, where the materiality of text is interlaced with conceptual production. Each chapter investigates a different form of textual media in concert with a particular concept: the small-press pamphlet as "communist object," the magazine as "diagrammatic publishing," political books in the modes of "root" and "rhizome," the "multiple single" of anonymous authorship, and myth as "unidentified narrative object." An absorbingly written contribution to contemporary media theory in all its manifestations, Anti-Book will enrich current debates about radical publishing, artists' books and other new genre and media forms in alternative media, art publishing, media studies, cultural studies, critical theory, and social and political theory.

    Description: This open access book addresses the protection of privacy and personality rights in public records, records management, historical sources, and archives; and historical and current access to them in a broad international comparative perspective. Considering the question “can archiving pose a security risk to the protection of sensitive data and human rights?”, it analyses data security and presents several significant cases of the misuse of sensitive personal data, such as census data or medical records. It examines archival inflation and the minimisation and reduction of data in public records and archives, including data anonymisation and pseudonymisation, and the risks of deanonymisation and reidentification of persons. The book looks at post-mortem privacy protection, the relationship of the right to know and the right to be forgotten and introduces a specific model of four categories of the right to be forgotten. In its conclusion, the book presents a set of recommendations for archives and records management.

    Snøens formler (2023)
    Cappelen Damm Akademisk/NOASP (Nordic Open Access Scholarly Publishing)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-07
    Description: In her well-known song, ‘Når himmelen faller ned’ (‘When the Sky Falls Down’), the Norwegian musician Anne Grete Preus described snow as ‘celestial tipp-ex’ and a mighty ‘wonder’. But what exactly is it that snow corrects? And what gives snow its power? Snow’s Formulas: A Natural Phenomenon in Literature attempts to answer these and similar questions by discussing the motif of snow in the context of modernization processes marked by increasing instrumentalization and rationalization. Snow transforms landscapes and defies modernity’s innovations; it simultaneously obscures and accentuates, and also enchants. This process can be described in different ways: as the sublime’s breakthrough in a philosophical, aesthetic sense, or, in a poetological sense, as non-mimetic writing. This strategy plays out in language, and the objective of this study has been to investigate snow’s rhetoricity and how literary depictions of snow can be in response to the challenges of modernity. The book includes readings of texts by H.C. Andersen, Olaf Bull, Hans Børli, Paul Celan, Alexander Kielland, Jonas Lie, Tor Ulven and Tarjei Vesaas, among others. The relationship between snow and modernity is illustrated from a dual perspective. Emphasis is placed on the individual’s position and self-perception within the process of modernization, as well as on the aesthetical problems that arise when writing about snow. Snow makes a white surface; it ‘overwrites’ the ground and encourages a non-mimetic poetry. Snow can be said to be an engine of modern aesthetics that does not take language’s referential aspect for granted.
    Description: I sin kjente låt Når himmelen faller ned betegner Anne Grete Preus snø som «himmelsk korrekturlakk» og et mektig «under». Men hva er det egentlig som snø må korrigere, og i hva består dens makt? Snøens formler: Et naturfenomen i litteraturen søker svar på slike spørsmål idet snømotivet diskuteres på bakgrunn av moderniseringsprosessen, kjennetegnet ved økende instrumentalisering og rasjonalisering. Snø forandrer landskapet og sier modernitetens nyttetenkning imot; den tildekker og aksentuerer samtidig og fortryller. Denne prosessen kan beskrives på forskjellige måter: som det sublimes gjennombrudd i filosofisk-estetisk henseende, eller, i poetologisk henseende, som en form for avrealisering. Denne strategien utspiller seg i språk, og formålet med denne studien er å granske snøens retorisitet og hvordan den litterære fremstillingen av snø svarer på modernitetens utfordringer. Boken inneholder lesninger av blant annet H.C. Andersen, Olaf Bull, Hans Børli, Paul Celan, Alexander Kielland, Jonas Lie, Tor Ulven og Tarjei Vesaas. Forholdet mellom snø og modernitet belyses fra et dobbeltperspektiv. Søkelyset rettes på individets stilling og selvforståelse i moderniseringsprosessen, men også på estetiske spørsmål som reiser seg når det diktes om snø. Snøen lager en hvit flate, den «overskriver» jorden og spiller på denne måten en amimetisk poetikk i hendene. Snø kan sies å være en pådriver av en moderne estetisk posisjon som ikke tar språkets referensielle side for gitt.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Unfelt offers a new account of feeling during the British Enlightenment, finding that the passions and sentiments long considered as preoccupations of the era depend on a potent insensibility, the secret emergence of pronounced emotions that only become apparent with time. Surveying a range of affects including primary sensation, love and self-love, greed, happiness, and patriotic ardor, James Noggle explores literary evocations of imperceptibility and unfeeling that pervade and support the period's understanding of sensibility. Each of the four sections of Unfelt—on philosophy, the novel, historiography, and political economy—charts the development of these idioms from early in the long eighteenth century to their culmination in the age of sensibility. From Locke to Eliza Haywood, Henry Fielding, and Frances Burney, and from Dudley North to Hume and Adam Smith, Noggle's exploration of the insensible dramatically expands the scope of affect in the period's writing and thought. Drawing inspiration from contemporary affect theory, Noggle charts how feeling and unfeeling flow and feed back into each other, identifying emotional dynamics at their most elusive and powerful: the potential, the incipient, the emergent, the virtual.

    Description: George Eliot has been widely praised both for the richness of her prose and the universality of her themes. In this compelling study, Peggy Fitzhugh Johnstone goes beyond these traditional foci to examine the role of aggression in Eliot's fiction and to find its source in the author's unconscious sense of loss stemming from traumatic family separations and deaths during her childhood and adolescence. Johnstone demonstrates that Eliot's creative work was a constructive response to her sense of loss and that the repeating patterns in her novels reflect the process of release from her state of mourning for lost loved ones.

    Environmental Humanities in Central Asia (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: This book is the first collection to showcase the flourishing field of environmental humanities in Central Asia. A region larger than Europe, Central Asia possesses an astounding range of environments, from deserts to glaciated peaks. The volume brings into conversation scholarship from history to social anthropology, demonstrating the contribution that interdisciplinary and engaged research offers to many urgent issues in the region: from the history of conservationism to the tactics of environmental movements, from literary engagements with ‘pure nature’ to the impact of fossil fuel extraction. The collection focuses on the Central Asian republics of the former USSR, where a complex layering of nomadic and sedentary, Turkic and Persianate, Islamic and Soviet cultures ends up affecting human relations with distinct environments. Featuring state-of-the-art contributions, the book enquires into human-environment relations through a broad-brush typology of interactive modes: to extract, protect, enspirit and fear. Broadening the scope of analysis beyond a consideration of power, the authors bring into focus alternative local cosmologies and the unintended consequences of environmental policy. The volume highlights scholarship from within Central Asia as well as expertise elsewhere, offering readers diverse modes of knowledge-production in the environmental humanities. This book is an important resource for researchers and students of the environmental humanities, sustainability, history, politics, anthropology and geography of Asia, as well as Soviet and Post-Soviet studies.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Auteur d’une œuvre majeure saluée par Aragon, Mandiargues et Blanchot comme l’une des plus marquantes de notre époque, Bernard Noël mène depuis cinquante ans une investigation lyrique de l’organique corporel, celle d’un témoin de son époque en révolte contre toute tentative de « sensure ». Ce volume rassemble les actes du colloque de Cerisy qui a réuni pour la première fois en 2005 des spécialistes de tous bords dans le but de rendre compte des diverses facettes de son travail d’écriture. Des lectures d’orientation phénoménologique alternent avec d’autres plus politiques en approfondissant le lien entre le corps et la langue, l’esthétique et le rapport à la peinture, la spécificité du récit, la relation au monde, la poéticité profonde d’un écrivain transgénérique et inclassable qui a fondé sur l’interrogation du vide et de l’absence sa présence à l’autre. Trois textes inédits et un important dossier publiant les actes et les témoignages du procès intenté en 1973 à Bernard Noël pour outrage aux mœurs à la suite de la publication sous son propre nom du roman Le Château de Cène confirment l’unicité du rôle de l’auteur dans son temps et l’actualité offensive de sa pensée.

    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: In recent decades, research focused on the production of knowledge and cultural transfers in Latin America in a transregional context has intensified. Its conception is largely based on the profile of the IAI, which is characterized by being not only a knowledge archive, but also a place of knowledge production and cultural and scientific exchange with and about Latin America. This volume brings together a series of articles by specialists in these subjects, most of whom worked at said institution as visiting researchers. It is the result, then, of an intense dialogue between them and the permanent researchers of the IAI. The volume critically discusses theoretical concepts, methodologies, and research on specific processes in the analysis of the production and circulation of knowledge, and cultural transfers in Latin America, from an intra- and trans-regional point of view.

    Description: El volumen colectivo sobre publicaciones argentinas que aquí presentamos es el tercero de una serie que se constituye como tal en función de un principio metodológico básico: Tramas impresas (2014), Tiempos de papel (2016) y ahora Revistas, archivo y exposición colocan a las publicaciones como corazón de sus análisis, como una dimensión crucial de la historia de una cultura, no un capítulo o un género añadido a otros géneros culturales de los que se compondría esa historia, puesto que no sería posible desligarlas de ella. Forman la primera parte un conjunto de colaboraciones individuales de especialistas que reflexionan en su mayoría sobre problemas específicos en revistas particulares a la vez que se detienen a pensar y caracterizar sus modalidades de exposición. El libro incluye, además, un intercambio a propósito de dos repositorios hemerográficos argentinos de referencia obligada para los estudiosos de la cultura argentina: AhiRa y AméricaLee.

    Reciprocity, Truth, and Gender in Pindar and Aeschylus (2023)
    University of Michigan Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-03
    Description: In Reciprocity, Truth, and Gender in Pindar and Aeschylus, author Arum Park explores two notoriously difficult ancient Greek poets and seeks to articulate the complex relationship between them. Although Pindar and Aeschylus were contemporaries, previous scholarship has often treated them as representatives of contrasting worldviews. Park’s comparative study offers the alternative perspective of understanding them as complements instead. By examining these poets together through the concepts of reciprocity, truth, and gender, this book establishes a relationship between Pindar and Aeschylus that challenges previous conceptions of their dissimilarity. The book accomplishes three aims: first, it shows that Pindar and Aeschylus frame their poetry using similar principles of reciprocity; second, it demonstrates that each poet depicts truth in a way that is specific to those reciprocity principles; and finally, it illustrates how their depictions of gender are shaped by this intertwining of truth and reciprocity. By demonstrating their complementarity, the book situates Pindar and Aeschylus in the same poetic ecosystem, which has implications for how we understand ancient Greek poetry more broadly: using Pindar and Aeschylus as case studies, the book provides a window into their dynamic and interactive poetic world, a world in which ostensibly dissimilar poets and genres actually have much more in common than we might think.

How do they remediate older forms of poetry? And how can digital and digitalized poetry, which tends to be particularly self-reflexive, in turn shed light on the workings of digital technology?

    Nigeria's Third-Generation Literature (2023)
    Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: This book considers the evolution and characteristics of Nigeria’s third-generation literature, which emerged between the late 1980s and the early 1990s and is marked by expressive modes and concerns distinctly different from those of the preceding era. The creative writing of this period reflects new sensibilities and anxieties about Nigeria’s changing fortunes in the post-colonial era. The literature of the third generation is startling in its candidness, irreverence as well as the brutal self-disclosure of its characters, and it is governed by an unusually wide-ranging sweep in narrative techniques. This book examines six key texts of the oeuvre: Maria Ajima’s The Web, Okey Ndibe’s Foreign Gods, Inc., Teju Cole’s Open City, Chika Unigwe’s On Black Sisters Street, Lola Shoneyin’s The Secret Lives of Baba Segi’s Wives, and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s The Thing Around Your Neck. The texts interpret contemporary corruption and other unspeakable social malaise; together, they point to the exciting future of Nigerian literature, which has always been defined by its daring creativity and inventive expressive modes. Even conventional storytelling strategies receive revitalizing energies in these angst-driven narratives. This book will be of interest to students and researchers of contemporary African literature, Sociology, Gender and women’s studies, and post-colonial cultural expression more broadly.

    L'Antiquité dans la littérature de jeunesse (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Through 19 contributions, this collective volume considers some aspects of the representation and re-elaboration of Antiquity in literature for children and young adults, especially in novels, comics and manga. Mythology receives a great deal of attention, but history, especially Roman history, is also addressed, for example through series like Asterix, Alix or Thermae Romae. Four issues are emphasized: the nature and extent of the adaptations made, the way they were made, the intention in which they were carried out, the content of the message delivered. It is thus shown how Antiquity, in various forms, can be used in the publications and corpora studied as a vector for teaching, for education, for cultural mediation or simply for recreation, and how it allows for various forms of personal reappropriation by the readers.

    Legal Tender (2023)
    Cornell University Press | Cornell University Press and Cornell University Library
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: At first glance, romance seems an improbable angle from which to write a cultural history of the German Democratic Republic. By most accounts the GDR was among the most dour and disciplined of socialist states, so devoted to the rigors of Stalinist aesthetics that the notion of an East German romantic comedy was more likely to generate punch lines than lines at the box office. But in fact, as John Urang shows in Legal Tender, love was freighted as a privileged site for the negotiation and reorganization of a surprising array of issues in East German public culture between 1949 and 1989. Through close readings of a diverse selection of films and novels from the former GDR, Urang offers an eye-opening account of the ideological stakes of love stories in East German culture. Throughout its forty-year existence the East German state was plagued with an ongoing problem of legitimacy. The love story's unique and unpredictable mix of stabilizing and subversive effects gave it a peculiar status in the cultural sphere. Urang shows how love stories could mediate the problem of social stratification, providing a language with which to discuss the experience of class antagonism without undermining the Party's legitimacy. But for the Party there was danger in borrowing legitimacy from the romantic plot: the love story's destabilizing influences of desire and drive could just as easily disrupt as reconcile. A unique contribution to German studies, Legal Tender offers remarkable insights into the uses and capacities of romance in modern Western culture.

    Medievalism: a Critical History (2023)
    Boydell & Brewer | D. S. Brewer an imprint of Boydell & Brewer
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-27
    Description: The field known as "medievalism studies" concerns the life of the Middle Ages after the Middle Ages. Originating some thirty years ago, it examines reinventions and reworkings of the medieval from the Reformation to postmodernity,from Bale and Leland to HBO's Game of Thrones. But what exactly is it? An offshoot of medieval studies? A version of reception studies? Or a new form of cultural studies? Can such a diverse field claim coherence? Should it be housed in departments of English, or History, or should it always be interdisciplinary? In responding to such questions, the author traces the history of medievalism from its earliest appearances in the sixteenth century to the present day, across a range of examples drawn from the spheres of literature, art, architecture, music and more. He identifies two major modes, the grotesque and the romantic, and focuses on key phases of the development of medievalism in Europe: the Reformation, the late eighteenth century, and above all the period between 1815 and 1850, which, he argues, represents the zenith of medievalist cultural production. He also contends that the 1840s were medievalism's one moment of canonicity in several European cultures at once. After that, medievalism became a minority form, rarely marked with cultural prestige, though always pervasive and influential. Medievalism: a Critical History scrutinises several key categories - space, time, and selfhood - and traces the impact of medievalism on each. It will be the essential guide to a complex and still evolving field of inquiry.

    Description: Explores and interrogates the many and diverse perspectives of the new frontiers of African literary studies. Publication of the seminal volume African Literature Comes of Age by C.D. Narasimhaiah (India) and Ernest N. Emenyonu (Nigeria), in 1988 generated the consciousness that African literature had attained maturity by the evolution of diverse concerns among scholars, critics, and researchers over the decades following the publication, in the English language, of Chinua Things Fall Apart in 1958. Since the publication of the first volume of African Literature Today in the 1970s, the writings of Africans across the continent have spread across the globe, constituting refreshing and hitherto unimaginable epistemologies. This 40th volume provides a serious critical response to those changing horizons and reflects African literature's maturity, diversity, scope, spread, and above all, relevance. The topics discussed range from sickle cell disease to the animalization of humans, new feminisms and stereotypes of womanhood, the different shades of black masculinity, and political exploitation in creative works. Reaching across boundaries, recent fictions are seen to suggest a widening of conventional literary genres, and new forms that change the known trajectories of dramatic theatre. The substance, freshness, and vitality that characterize the articles in this volume of <i>African Literature Today bring a welcome perspective to the continent's rich creative life.

    Description: Denis Roche est l’auteur d’une œuvre où l’écriture et la photographie ne cessent de se croiser. Elles s’informent, s’emboîtent, se joignent, se saisissent l’une de l’autre, s’infléchissent, se transcrivent, se transposent. Il en résulte une œuvre difficile, énergumène, rétive à la reprise critique, dessinant une trajectoire capricieuse : courbes, diagonales, sauts d’obstacles, apparentes ruptures. C’est la logique de ces mouvements (et de leurs vitesses, de leurs rythmes, de leurs coupes) que l’on essaie ici d’interroger à nouveau, avec les outils qu’il faut (on les invente au besoin) pour circuler dans cette œuvre par voie technique, poétologique, performative, circonstancielle, projective, comparative, littérale. Il s’agit de lire Denis Roche au collimateur, aux machines, ou encore de l’observer à la lumière des lucioles.

    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: In this chapter the author lays out a theoretical groundwork for a semiotic theory of multimodality in the Divine Comedy. The analysis is not comprehensive of all modes, but limited to key-modal forms that Dante’s text authorizes in order to understand the formation of codes based on different forms of articulation and how different modes of articulation may interact with one another in a multimodal arrangement to achieve strong, functional signification in general and, where necessary, working toward the formation of new ontologies intimating human transcendence in terms of signification.

    Imagining Iberia in English and Castilian Medieval Romance (2023)

    Publication Date: 2024-04-04
    Description: Imagining Iberia in English and Castilian Medieval Romance offers a broad disciplinary, linguistic, and national focus by analyzing the literary depiction of Iberia in two European vernaculars that have rarely been studied together. Emily Houlik-Ritchey employs an innovative comparative methodology that integrates the understudied Castilian literary tradition with English literature. Intentionally departing from the standard “influence and transmission” approach, Imagining Iberia challenges that standard discourse with modes drawn from Neighbor Theory to reveal and navigate the relationships among three selected medieval romance traditions. This welcome volume uncovers an overemphasis in prior scholarship on the relevance of “crusading” agendas in medieval romance, and highlights the shared investments of Christians and Muslims in Iberia’s political, creedal, cultural, and mercantile networks in the Mediterranean world.

    Description: Fin da Se questo è un uomo e La tregua, Primo Levi dispiega di fronte al lettore una costellazione di personaggi: personaggi «pescati» dal vivo, «riprodotti con un’impressione soggettiva»; personaggi «spaccati» e «ricombinati» (non solo da tipi umani esistenti ma anche dalla tradizione letteraria). Questo volume offre una prima mappatura critica dei personaggi leviani, e mira a dare avvio a indagini sulla loro costruzione, sulla loro configurazione narrativa e linguistica, così come sul loro statuto ontologico all’interno del mondo possibile dell’universo letterario. Studiare l’opera di Levi attraverso gli «esemplari umani» che la popolano si rivela un ingresso privilegiato: illumina da una nuova prospettiva i debiti verso la tradizione romanzesca del novecento (soprattutto tedesca e anglosassone), l’uso della prima persona e le strategie di proiezione dell’io, la dialettica tra scrittura testimoniale e racconto fantastico, la componente morale in rapporto all’uso di alcune tecniche narrative, prima tra tutte lo straniamento, e infine il rapporto, sempre controverso, tra presa diretta e «arrotondamento» finzionale.

    Handeln mit Dichtung (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-03
    Description: Die Prosa-Edda ist der wichtigste sprach- und dichtungstheoretische Text des skandinavischen Mittelalters. Sie wird in diesem Band einer ganzheitlichen und systematischen Lektüre unterzogen und als Form kultureller Sinnstiftung gelesen. Ausgangspunkt der Lektüre ist die Leitthese, dass die Prosa-Edda nicht nur ein Lehrwerk für skaldische Dichtung ist, sondern sich umfassend und mit einem sprach- und medientheoretischen Ansatz für Sprache, Erzählen und Dichtung interessiert. Im Zentrum der vorliegenden Arbeit steht Codex Upsaliensis DG 11 4to (ca. 1300). Die Zusammenstellung verschiedenster medialer Phänomene macht die Edda-Version in dieser Handschrift so einzigartig: Neben den bekannten Texten finden sich genealogische Listen, grammatische Diagramme und Bilder, die alle Organisationsformen von Wissen darstellen, welche bisher noch ungenügend in eine Lektüre der Prosa-Edda eingeflossen sind. Eine solche Lektüre der vielfältigen Inhalte von Codex Upsaliensis wird durch den Theorieansatz der literarischen Performativität systematisiert. Dieser Diskurs ist in der skandinavistischen Mediävistik bislang noch nicht sehr bekannt. Er bietet jedoch ein theoretisches Begriffsinventar, das über mediale Grenzen hinweg anwendbar ist und sich für die Lektüre der Prosa-Edda als sehr produktiv erweist.

    Chapter 3 Daemonization (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Chapter 3 - ABSTRACT: An ironic response to Richardson’s Pamela, The Turn of the Screw examines questions of moral hypocrisy and status inconsistency. Adopting a Fielding position, James celebrates the exemptions of a liberal conversation—or contemplation—premised both on the protection of adult secrets and the rejection of a Puritan education that prevents children from having free access to the open adult world. The first condition is represented by the detached master, an emblem of liberal privacy. The second is enforced by the governess’ sadistic impulse to have the children see what they should never see—first, that the social hierarchies can be upset, and second, that a base menial enjoys the “strange freedom” to sexually approach a governess.

    Description: Saša Stanišić is one of the most important voices in contemporary German literature. This volume reveals new perspectives on Stanišić’s work and his authorial persona. It focuses on previously neglected aspects, such as Stanišić’s early prose, his online writing, practices of authorial staging, and the work he has done on the canon. It thus provides stimuli for further differentiation in scholarly discussions about the author and his texts.

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Plusieurs perspectives sont posées dans cet ouvrage pour tenter de répondre à cette question : que fait la littérature au bonheur ? On y interroge d’abord la manière dont la fiction inscrit le bonheur dans une quête, une trajectoire spirituelle, voire mystique, dans un ailleurs qu’offre parfois la perspective d’une migration. On peut aussi rapporter la dimension intérieure du bonheur comme état de l’âme à un objet extérieur, « le lieu construit » imaginé, en privilégiant les relations et interactions qu’il entretient avec les contextes de sa réalisation.

    Traces of the Old, Uses of the New (2023)
    University of Michigan Press | Digitalculturebooks
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Digital Humanities remains a contested, umbrella term covering many types of work in numerous disciplines, including literature, history, linguistics, classics, theater, performance studies, film, media studies, computer science, and information science. In Traces of the Old, Uses of the New: The Emergence of Digital Literary Studies, Amy Earhart stakes a claim for discipline-specific history of digital study as a necessary prelude to true progress in defining Digital Humanities as a shared set of interdisciplinary practices and interests. Traces of the Old, Uses of the New focuses on twenty-five years of developments, including digital editions, digital archives, e-texts, text mining, and visualization, to situate emergent products and processes in relation to historical trends of disciplinary interest in literary study. By reexamining the roil of theoretical debates and applied practices from the last generation of work in juxtaposition with applied digital work of the same period, Earhart also seeks to expose limitations in need of alternative methods-methods that might begin to deliver on the early (but thus far unfulfilled) promise that digitizing texts allows literature scholars to ask and answer questions in new and compelling ways. In mapping the history of digital literary scholarship, Earhart also seeks to chart viable paths to its future, and in doing this work in one discipline, this book aims to inspire similar work in others.

    The Topography of Modernity (2023)
    Cornell University Press | Cornell University Press and Cornell University Library
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-05
    Description: Karl Philipp Moritz (d. 1793) was one of the most innovative writers of the late Enlightenment in Germany. A novelist, travel writer, editor, and teacher he is probably best known today for his autobiographical novel Anton Reiser (1785–90) and for his treatises on aesthetics, foremost among them Über die bildende Nachahmung des Schönen (On the Formative Imitation of the Beautiful) (1788). In this treatise, Moritz develops the concept of aesthetic autonomy, which became widely known after Goethe included a lengthy excerpt of it in his own Italian Journey (1816–17). It was one of the foundational texts of Weimar classicism, and it became pivotal for the development of early Romanticism. In The Topography of Modernity, Elliott Schreiber gives Moritz the credit he deserves as an important thinker beyond his contributions to aesthetic theory. Indeed, he sees Moritz as an incisive early observer and theorist of modernity. Considering a wide range of Moritz’s work including his novels, his writings on mythology, prosody, and pedagogy, and his political philosophy and psychology, Schreiber shows how Moritz’s thinking developed in response to the intellectual climate of the Enlightenment and paved the way for later social theorists to conceive of modern society as differentiated into multiple, competing value spheres.

    Modernism and the Frankfurt School (2023)
    Edinburgh University Press | Edinburgh University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Tyrus Miller's book offers readers a focused introduction to the Frankfurt School's important attempts to relate the social, political, and philosophical conditions of modernity to innovations in twentieth-century art, literature, and culture. The book pursues this interaction of modernity and modernist aesthetics in a two-sided, dialectical approach. Not only, Miller suggests, can the Frankfurt School's penetrating critical analyses of the phenomena of modernity help us develop more nuanced, historically informed and contextually sensitive analyses of modernist culture; but also, modernist culture provides a field of problems, examples, and practices that intimately affected the formation of the Frankfurt School's theoretical ideas.The individual chapters, which include detailed discussions of Walter Benjamin, Theodor Adorno, Herbert Marcuse as well as a survey of later Frankfurt School influenced thinkers, discuss the ideas of a given figure with an emphasis on particular artistic media or contexts: Benjamin with lyric poetry and architecture as urban art forms; Adorno with music; Marcuse with the liberationist art performances and happenings of the 1960s.

    Complexe de l’ironiste. De Quincey à l’œuvre (2023)
    UGA Éditions
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Thomas De Quincey est connu pour deux textes qui n’ont, en apparence, rien en commun : les Confessions d’un mangeur d’opium anglais, clé de voûte d’un récit autobiographique morcelé, ont longtemps été lues comme l’œuvre d’un romantique mineur, dans l’ombre du poète William Wordsworth ; tandis que « L’assassinat, considéré comme l’un des Beaux-Arts » cultive la provocation et la fantaisie. Les deux cependant expriment toutes les nuances de l’ironie : De Quincey se confronte aux grands auteurs et proclame son statut d’écrivain mineur pour mieux le dépasser. Rassembler dans un même regard ces deux textes nous permet de rétablir la cohérence d’une œuvre complexe et contradictoire, mais finalement unie, encore et toujours, autour du portrait de l’Anglais mangeur d’opium. Céline Lochot présente ici De Quincey comme mêlant l’ironie dans une démarche de séduction et de définition de soi dans le romantisme. Cette mise en contexte romantique de l’ironie, a priori plutôt paradoxale, enrichit considérablement le propos et souligne la modernité de De Quincey.

    Boasian Verse (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Boasian Verse explores the understudied poetic output of three major twentieth-century anthropologists: Edward Sapir, Ruth Benedict, and Margaret Mead. Providing a comparative analysis of their anthropological and poetic works, this volume explores the divergent representations of cultural others and the uses of ethnographic studies for cultural critique. This volume aims to illuminate central questions, including: Why did they choose to write poetry about their ethnographic endeavors? Why did they choose to write the way they wrote? Was poetry used to approach the objects of their research in different, perhaps ethically more viable ways? Did poetry allow them to transcend their own primitivist, even evolutionist tendencies, or did it much rather refashion or even amplify those tendencies? This in-depth examination of these ethnographic poems invites both cultural anthropologists and students of literature to reevaluate the Boasian legacy of cultural relativism, primitivism, and residual evolutionism for the twenty-first century. This volume offers a fresh perspective on some of the key texts that have shaped twentieth- and twenty-first-century discussions of culture and cultural relativism, and a unique contribution to readers interested in the dynamic area of multimodal anthropologies.

    Metaphor in Illness Writing (2023)
    Edinburgh University Press | Edinburgh University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Listen to the interview with Anita Wohlmann about Metaphor in Illness Writing in New Books Network here. Metaphor in Illness Writing argues that even when a metaphor appears problematic and limiting, it need not be dropped or dismissed. Metaphors are not inherently harmful or beneficial; instead, they can be used in unexpected and creative ways. This book analyses the illness writing of contemporary North American writers who reimagine and reappropriate the supposedly harmful metaphor ‘illness is a fight’ and shows how Susan Sontag, Audre Lorde, Anatole Broyard, David Foster Wallace and other writers turn the fight metaphor into a space of agency, resistance, self-knowledge and aesthetic pleasure. It joins a conversation in Medical Humanities about alternatives to the predominance of narrative and responds to the call for more metaphor literacy and metaphor competence."

    Description: Le livre imprimé est le lieu privilégié pour comprendre comment s’est construit un nouveau regard sur l’Antiquité à la suite des guerres de Religion, de la mise en place de la censure des images ainsi que de la centralisation du pouvoir politique. Or, le nom de celles et ceux qui en ont déterminé la forme propre – imprimeurs, libraires, graveurs, correcteurs – ne figurent pas toujours en page de titre. Ils ont pourtant traduit, modifié et parfois déplacé des textes et des images pour répondre aux attentes d’un public friand de nouveautés. La présente enquête part d’un livre recomposé à partir d’un texte de Natale Conti et des illustrations de Vincenzo Cartari. Bricolé à la hâte dans une officine lyonnaise au début du xviie siècle, il a connu une fortune extraordinaire. Ses sources et sa postérité sont analysées à travers des figures monstrueuses entre la fable, la caricature religieuse, les sciences naturelles et la littérature de voyage, de l’Hécate à trois têtes aux démons dotés de seins pendants jusqu’aux sorcières du Brésil.

    Malcolm Lowry's Poetics of Space (2023)
    University of Ottawa Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: This collection focuses on Lowry’s spatial dynamics, from the psychogeography of the Letterist and the Situationist International, through musical forms (especially jazz), cinema, photography, and spatialpoetic writing, to the spaces of exception, bio-politics, and the creaturely. It presents previously unpublished essays by both established and new international Lowry scholars, as well as innovative ways of conceiving of his aesthetic practice. In each of the book’s three sections, critics engage in the notion of Lowry as a multi-media artist who influenced and was deeply influenced by a broad range of modernist and early postmodernist aesthetic practices. Acutely aware of and engaged in the world of film, sensitive to the role of the graphical surface in advertising and propaganda, and deeply immersed in a vast range of literary traditions and the avant-garde, Lowry worked within an intertextual space that is also a mediascape, one which tends to transgress, or at least exceed, neatly controlled borders or aesthetic boundaries. These new approaches to Lowry’s life and work, which make use of new and recent theoretical perspectives, will encourage fresh debate around Lowry’s writing.

    Dealing with Disasters from Early Modern to Modern Times (2023)
    Amsterdam University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: Disasters are as much cultural as natural phenomena. For centuries, news about catastrophic events has been disseminated through media such as chronicles, pamphlets, newspapers, poems, drawings, and prints. Nowadays, we are overwhelmed with news about the cataclysmic effects of recent forest fires, floods, and storms. Due to the ongoing climate crisis, extreme weather events will likely have ever greater impacts on our lives. This volume addresses cultural representations of catastrophes such as floods, epidemics, and earthquakes over the centuries. In the past as now, artists and authors try to make sense of disasters, grasp their impact, and communicate moral, religious, or political messages. These creations reflect and shape how people learn and think about disasters that occur nearby or far away, both in time and space. The parallels between past and present underline how this book contributes to modern debates about cultural and creative strategies in response to disasters.

No sabemos nada, pero oímos el murmullo de ciertos pronosticadores que creen saber lo que vendrá: la desaparición de lo que conocemos o su transformación radical. Quizá me equivoque, pero creo que apenas se resolverá en ligeros desplazamientos de ciertas modalidades. Las condiciones de producción se han modificado de manera espectacular en los últimos 30 años. La computadora personal ha modificado los modos de escribir, corregir y archivar. El cambio de la economía escritural ha producido cambios en la escritura misma. Los escritores han sido inducidos, de manera tímida, vacilante, al comienzo: guardar muchas versiones del mismo texto. Los nacidos analógicos decían al comienzo: escribo la primera versión amano, luego la paso en la computadora pero, para corregir, imprimo (no se me da leer en la pantalla).

    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Este estudo crítico defende que é possível aproximar a produção narrativa de Jorge Luis Borges e José Saramago tendo como guia a imagem do labirinto, selecionando três grandes perspectivas em que ela se desdobra. A primeira delas é a espacial. Ambos os escritores tendem a descrever os ambientes por onde circulam os personagens, traçando uma analogia com as definições e características labirínticas acumuladas ao longo do tempo. Em segundo lugar está a evocação do labirinto na própria escrita, na forma de organizar os textos, na pontuação e, principalmente, no tom ensaístico-filosófico e nas notas digressivas intercaladas ao enredo. Por último, a busca pela identidade também se associa a vias labirínticas, na medida em que se compõe como um trajeto cheio de incertezas, objetivando chegar ao centro, isto é, ao encontro de um eu consigo mesmo e com um outro.

    Description: The Routledge Companion to Narrative Theory brings together top scholars in the field to explore the significance of narrative to pressing social, cultural, and theoretical issues. How does narrative both inform and limit the way we think today? From conspiracy theories and social media movements to racial politics and climate change future scenarios, the reach is broad. This volume is distinctive for addressing the complicated relations between the interdisciplinary narrative turn in the academy and the contemporary boom of instrumental storytelling in the public sphere. The scholars collected here explore new theories of causality, experientiality, and fictionality; challenge normative modes of storytelling; and offer polemical accounts of narrative fiction, nonfiction, and video games. Drawing upon the latest research in areas from cognitive sciences to complexity theory, the volume provides an accessible entry point for those new to the myriad applications of narrative theory and a point of departure for new scholarship.

    The Worlding of Arabic Literature (2023)
    Fordham University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Critics have long viewed translating Arabic literature into English as an ethically fraught process of mediating between two wholly incommensurable languages, cultures, and literary traditions. Today, Arabic literature is no longer "embargoed" from Anglophone cultural spaces, as Edward Said once famously claimed that it was. As Arabic literary works are translated into English in ever-greater numbers, what alternative model of translation ethics can account for this literature's newfound readability in the hegemonic language of the world literary system? The Worlding of Arabic Literature argues that an ethical translation of a work of Arabic literature is one that transmits the literariness of the source text by engaging new populations of readers via a range of embodied and sensory effects. The book proposes that when translation is conceived of not as an exchange of semantic content but as a process of converting the affective forms of one language into those of another, previously unrecognized modalities of worldliness open up to the source text. In dialogue with a rich corpus of Arabic aesthetic and linguistic theory as well as contemporary scholarship in affect theory, translation theory, postcolonial theory, and world literature studies, this book offers a timely and provocative investigation of how an important literary tradition enters the world literary system. The Worlding of Arabic Literature: Language, Affect, and the Ethics of Translatability is available from the publisher on an open-access basis.

    Imagined Human Beings (2023)
    NYU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: One of literature's greatest gifts is its portrayal of realistically drawn characters--human beings in whom we can recognize motivations and emotions. In Imagined Human Beings, Bernard J. Paris explores the inner conflicts of some of literature's most famous characters, using Karen Horney's psychoanalytic theories to understand the behavior of these characters as we would the behavior of real people. When realistically drawn characters are understood in psychological terms, they tend to escape their roles in the plot and thus subvert the view of them advanced by the author. A Horneyan approach both alerts us to conflicts between plot and characterization, rhetoric and mimesis, and helps us understand the forces in the author's personalty that generate them. The Horneyan model can make sense of thematic inconsistencies by seeing them as the product of the author's inner divisions. Paris uses this approach to explore a wide range of texts, including Antigone, "The Clerk's Tale," The Merchant of Venice, A Doll's House, Hedda Gabler, Great Expectations, Jane Eyre, The Mayor of Casterbridge, Wuthering Heights, Madame Bovary, The Awakening, and The End of the Road.

    Womanism, Literature, and the Transformation of the Black Community, 1965-1980 (2023)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: This book examines how cultural and ideological reactions to activism in the post-Civil Rights Black community were depicted in fiction written by Black women writers, 1965–1980. By recognizing and often challenging prevailing cultural paradigms within the post-Civil Rights era, writers such as Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, Toni Cade Bambara, and Paule Marshall fictionalized the black community in critical ways that called for further examination of progressive activism after the much publicized 'end' of the Civil Rights Movement. Through their writings, the authors’ confronted marked shifts within African American literature, politics and culture that proved detrimental to the collective 'wellness' of the community at large.

    Die Anthropologisierung des Ökonomischen in spanischen Komödien, 1762-1805 (2023)
    Iberoamericana Vervuert
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: The political economy of the European 18th century declares economics to be a basic human condition. This phenomenon is summed up in the present study under the term “anthropologizing of the economic” and examines how treatises by Spanish reform economists from the late 18th century are reflected in sentimental economic comedies of the late Enlightenment. For the first time since Schumpeter, the study, located at the interface between literary studies, cultural studies and the history of economic theory, offers a German-language overview of the currents of economic thought in Enlightenment Spain and its predecessors, based on current research. In doing so, she establishes references to developments in France, England and Germany on the levels of economic and theater reform. Based on the knowledge that when talking about economic people (homo oeconomicus), the economic man (vir oeconomicus) is usually meant, she develops a set of conceptual tools for Analysis of the recurring economic character types in Spanish reform theatre. By examining comedies from the period between 1762 and 1805, she differentiates between gender-specific incarnations of good and bad management in trade, industry and agriculture, ranging from the vir oeconomicus to the femina profusa are sufficient. In addition to the transfer processes between economic and theatrical discourse, the study pays special attention to the burgeoning liberalism and to a connection between the economic and the religious that is specific to Spain. For its interdisciplinary character, it was awarded the sponsorship prize of the University Society of Münster e.V

    Representing Vulnerabilities in Contemporary Literature (2023)
    Taylor & Francis | Routledge
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Representing Vulnerabilities in Contemporary Literature includes a collection of essays exploring the ways in which recent literary representations of vulnerability may problematize its visibilization from an ethical and aesthetic perspective. Recent technological and scientific developments have accentuated human vulnerability in many and different ways at a cross-national, and even cross-species level. Disability, technological, and ecological vulnerabilities are new foci of interest that add up to gender, precarity and trauma, among others, as forms of vulnerability in this volume. The literary visualization of these vulnerabilities might help raise social awareness of one’s own vulnerabilities as well as those of others so as to bring about global solidarity based on affinity and affect. However, the literary representation of forms of vulnerability might also deepen stigmatization phenomena and trivialize the spectacularization of vulnerability by blunting readers’ affective response towards those products that strive to hold their attention and interest in an information-saturated, global entertainment market.

    Poetry's Afterlife (2023)
    University of Michigan Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: "The great pleasure of this book is the writing itself. Not only is it free of academic and 'lit-crit' jargon, it is lively prose, often deliciously witty or humorous, and utterly contemporary. Poetry's Afterlife has terrific classroom potential, from elementary school teachers seeking to inspire creativity in their students, to graduate students in MFA programs, to working poets who struggle with the aesthetic dilemmas Stein elucidates, and to teachers of poetry on any level." --- Beckian Fritz Goldberg, Arizona State University "Kevin Stein is the most astute poet-critic of his generation, and this is a crucial book, confronting the most vexing issues which poetry faces in a new century." ---David Wojahn, Virginia Commonwealth University At a time when most commentators fixate on American poetry's supposed "death," Kevin Stein's Poetry's Afterlife instead proposes the vitality of its aesthetic hereafter. The essays of Poetry's Afterlife blend memoir, scholarship, and personal essay to survey the current poetry scene, trace how we arrived here, and suggest where poetry is headed in our increasingly digital culture. The result is a book both fetchingly insightful and accessible. Poetry's spirited afterlife has come despite, or perhaps because of, two decades of commentary diagnosing American poetry as moribund if not already deceased. With his 2003 appointment as Illinois Poet Laureate and his forays into public libraries and schools, Stein has discovered that poetry has not given up its literary ghost. For a fated art supposedly pushing up aesthetic daisies, poetry these days is up and about in the streets, schools, and universities, and online in new and compelling digital forms. It flourishes among the people in a lively if curious underground existence largely overlooked by national media. It's this second life, or better, Poetry's Afterlife, that his book examines and celebrates. Kevin Stein is Caterpillar Professor of English and Director of the Creative Writing Program at Bradley University and has served as Illinois Poet Laureate since 2003, having assumed the position formerly held by Gwendolyn Brooks and Carl Sandburg. He is the author of numerous books of poetry and criticism. digitalculturebooksis an imprint of the University of Michigan Press and the Scholarly Publishing Office of the University of Michigan Library dedicated to publishing innovative and accessible work exploring new media and their impact on society, culture, and scholarly communication.

    Democratic Criticism (2023)
    Lever Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: After the publication of Salman Rushdie’s The Satanic Verses (1988), the poetics of incitement— found in texts originating in the West containing themes and representations of Islam hurtful to Muslims—became an accepted method of textual production in the West. Production of such texts intensified after the attacks of 9/11. Democratic Criticism: Poetics of Incitement and the Muslim Sacred by Masood Ashraf Raja urges a new mode of reading, one that permits Western readers to transcend local reading practices in order to, as best as one can, read from the point of view of the Other. Raja argues that the lack of understanding of Muslim responses to the poetics of incitement in the West is the result of a lack of cross-cultural knowledge. He claims metropolitan universities often do not teach the proper social, historical, and religious context required for effectively reading these texts with any form of cultural knowledge. To remedy this, Raja offers and theorizes “democratic reading practices” and new ways for students to engage with texts. A genealogy of the Muslim Sacred is included, thereby giving readers the history and specific knowledge that constitutes an average Muslim reader of these texts, a subject who should be imagined and empathized with when those in the West read works of the poetics of incitement. Democratic Criticism encourages Western readers to develop a deeper understanding of the meaning-making processes of the Islamic world while at the same time encouraging the Muslim readers to read representations of the Islamic world with a more expansive understanding. It will be a helpful tool in creating reading practices that allow both teachers and students of literature to transcend their mode of reading as universal and to read from the perspective of the Other, and allow readers to engage meaningfully with these texts. Students and scholars of world literature, history, and religious studies will find this book insightful and valuable.

    Cosmopolitan Love (2023)
    University of Michigan Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Love, and the different manifestations of it, is a common theme in literature around the world. In Cosmopolitan Love, Sijia Yao examines the writings of D. H. Lawrence, a British writer whose literature focused primarily on interpersonal relationships in domestic settings, and Eileen Chang, a Chinese writer who migrated to the United States and explored Chinese heterosexual love in her writing. While comparing the writings of a Chinese writer and an English one, Yao avoids a direct comparison between East and West that could further enforce binaries. Instead, she uses the comparison to develop an idea of cosmopolitanism that shows how the writers are in conversation with their own culture and with each other. Both D. H. Lawrence and Eileen Chang wrote stories that are influenced by-but sometimes stand in opposition to-their own cultures. They offer alternative understandings of societies dealing with modernism and cultural globalization. Their stories deal with emotional pain caused by the restrictions of local politics and economics and address common themes of incestuous love, sexual love, adulterous love, and utopian love. By analyzing their writing, Yao demonstrates that the concept of love as a social and political force can cross cultural boundaries and traditions to become a basis for human meaning, the key to a cosmopolitan vision.

    South Asian Partition Fiction in English (2023)
    Amsterdam University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-01
    Description: South Asian Partition Fiction in English: From Khushwant Singh to Amitav Ghosh explores a significant cross-section of South Asian fiction in English written on the theme of Partition from the mid-1950s to the late 1980s, and shows how the Partition novel in English traverses a very interesting trajectory during this period - from just 'reporting' the cataclysmic event to theorizing about it. The six novels selected for study (Train to Pakistan, A Bend in the Ganges, Ice-Candy-Man, Clear Light of Day, Midnight's Children, and The Shadow Lines) show that, essentially, three factors shape the contours and determine the thrust of the narratives - the time in which the novelists are writing; the value they attach to women as subjects of this traumatic history; and the way they perceive the concept of the nation. "By a fresh reading of six novels that are representative of the various perspectives on the Partition of the subcontinent, and placing them in a larger historical and literary context, dr. Roy's book fills an important lacuna in current criticism, and does it convincingly." - Peter Liebregts, Professor of Modern Literatures in English, Leiden University "In this thoughtful and thoroughly readable book, Rituparna Roy looks at fictional representations of the cataclysmic birth-pangs of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, and indicates how literary envisionings mesh in with reportage, historiography, nationhood, femininity and personal identity." - Subir Dhar, Professor of English Literature, Rabindra Bharati University (RBU), Kolkata This title is available in the OAPEN Library - http://www.oapen.org.

    Writing Gender in Early Modern Chinese Women's Tanci Fiction (2023)
    Purdue University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: Women’s tanci, or “plucking rhymes,” are chantefable narratives written by upper-class educated women from seventeenth-century to early twentieth-century China. Writing Gender in Early Modern Chinese Women’s Tanci Fiction offers a timely study on early modern Chinese women’s representations of gender, nation, and political activism in their tanci works before and after the Taiping Rebellion (1850 to 1864), as well as their depictions of warfare and social unrest. Women tanci authors’ redefinition of female exemplarity within the Confucian orthodox discourses of virtue, talent, chastity, and political integrity could be bourgeoning expressions of female exceptionalism and could have foreshadowed protofeminist ideals of heroism. They establish a realistic tenor in affirming feminine domestic authority, and open up spaces for discussions of “womanly becoming,” female exceptionalism, and shifting family power structures. The vernacular mode underlying these texts yields productive possibilities of gendered self-representations, bodily valences, and dynamic performances of sexual roles. The result is a vernacular discursive frame that enables women’s appropriation and refashioning of orthodox moral values as means of self-affirmation and self-realization. Validations of women’s political activism and loyalism to the nation attest to tanci as a premium vehicle for disseminating progressive social incentives to popular audiences. Women’s tanci marks early modern writers’ endeavors to carve out a space of feminine becoming, a discursive arena of feminine appropriation, reinvention, and boundary-crossings. In this light, women’s tanci portrays gendered mobility through depictions of a heroine’s voyages or social ascent, and entails a forward-moving historical progression toward a more autonomous and vested model of feminine subjectivity.

    Interwar Itineraries (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-06
    Description: How people traveled, and how people wrote about travel, changed in the interwar years. Novel technologies eased travel conditions, breeding new iterations of the colonizing gaze. The sense that another war was coming lent urgency and anxiety to the search for new places and “authentic” experiences. In Interwar Itineraries: Authenticity in Anglophone and French Travel Writing, Emily O. Wittman identifies a diverse group of writers from two languages who embarked on such quests. For these writers, authenticity was achieved through rugged adventure abroad to economically poorer destinations. Using translation theory and new approaches in travel studies and global modernisms, Wittman links and complicates the symbolic and rhetorical strategies of writers including André Gide, Ernest Hemingway, Michel Leiris, Isak Dinesen, Beryl Markham, among others, that offer insight into the high ethical stakes of travel and allow us to see in new ways how models of the authentic self are built and maintained through asymmetries of encounter.
