The myth of Medea is brought in to reflect upon the tragic history...

Ce travail s inscrit contre cette interpretation qui passe sous silence le drame qui anime l uvre, un drame ou se negocie le message de Duras face au tragique de l existence et de l Histoire. A travers l analyse detaillee de textes publies et de manuscrits de l ecrivain, cette etude fait interagir...

Painted Poetry: Colour in Baudelaire's Art Criticism
ISBN: 9783039110940 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 241 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Before becoming a poet, Charles Baudelaire was an art critic; and he made his literary debut with the Salon de 1845. Its failure to find a receptive audience led him to write the groundbreaking Salon de 1846 with its pivotal chapter on colour, in which Baudelaire challenged fundamental critical concepts of art by insisting on colour s complexity, expressivity and modernity. Through a close reading of his critical essays on art, this book examines how Baudelaire s thoughts on colour developed throughout his life and sets them in the context of traditional views of colour. What...

La parodie (souvent indissociable du terme - pastiche -) est une notion passe-partout qui recouvre des pratiques fort diverses et a donne lieu a de multiples definitions a travers les ages, d Aristote aux theories modernes derivees de l intertextualite en passant par Bakhtine et Genette. Dans la seconde moitie du XIXe siecle, la parodie connait un veritable age d or meme si elle reste souvent consideree comme parasitique. C est la fin de siecle qui va peu a peu lui donner ses lettres de noblesse en lui permettant de venir coincider avec les pratiques de la modernite. Aux XXe et XXIe siecles,...

The Speaking Divine Woman: López de Úbeda's La Pícara Justina and Goethe's Wilhelm Meister
ISBN: 9783906766911 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 294 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Drawing on the Spanish Kabbalah s account of the divine speaking Woman, analysed in terms derived from contemporary feminist stylistics especially the speculative-cum-theological variety associated with Luce Irigaray s work this study examines the problem of female self-presentation in two novels from quite different cultural periods and national literary contexts. The study concludes that the two works participate in the long history of kabbalistic-hermetic reflexion on the nature and status of the Divine Feminine and its expression in language. The deft deployment of current French feminist...

Hélène Cixous and the Theatre: The Scene of Writing
ISBN: 9783906766201 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 166 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The theatre, both as metaphor and practice, is central to Cixous writing, yet has rarely been accorded the importance it merits within her uvre. The constant concerns of her work are represented and explored in plays which address individual and collective stories of difference, exile, love and writing. This book offers a clear contextualisation of Cixous theatre alongside detailed analyses of individual plays and argues for a reading of Cixous theatre as a dramatisation of the writing process."

Locating Hybridity: Creole, Identities and Body Politics in the Novels of Ananda Devi
ISBN: 9783034318143 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 198 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Despite its inherent negative implications as a purveyor of essentialism, the concept of hybridity holds a great deal of critical purchase in the postcolonial world. Hybridity allows identities and cultures to be conceptualized as different and manifold, allowing for the undermining of the binaries of self and other, centre and periphery, colonizer and colonized. In Mauritius, a country where numerous civilizations (African, European, Indian, Chinese) coexist and have constructed a new society, linguistic practices, culture and the body are all intrinsically linked to the concept of identity....
