Lingua Barbara or the Mystery of the Other: Otherness and Exteriority in Modern European Poetry
ISBN: 9783039100576 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book explores the multifaceted concepts of otherness, barbarism and exteriority. Is encountering the Other still possible in a world in which we all have become rootless, disconnected and strangers, alienated from the outside world and from ourselves? Does the question of Otherness still bear a meaning after the deconstruction of the self and the crumbling of the very concept of identity? The author examines some major twentieth-century poetic responses to the violent denial of otherness and difference in modern Europe. The myth of Medea is brought in to reflect upon the tragic history...

Modernist Visions: Marcel Proust's «A La Recherche Du Temps Perdu» and Jean-Luc Godard's «Histoire(s) Du Cinéma»
ISBN: 9783034302968 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 269 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book explores the work of two major twentieth-century artists by placing them in critical proximity. Marcel Proust s A la recherche du temps perdu and Jean-Luc Godard s Histoire(s) du cinema connect in ways that the author accounts for through the agency of cinema and its theorisation. Cinema, the art form that characterises the twentieth century, provides the tools with which to recognise Proust s and Godard s shared poetic enterprise and the modernist underpinning that leads, in both cases, to the simultaneous rejection of and yearning for artistic transcendence. Rather...

From Bad Boys to New Men?: Masculinity, Sexuality and Violence in the Work of Éric Jourdan
ISBN: 9783034307369 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 251 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book is the first critical survey of the work of Eric Jourdan. Jourdan first came to public attention as a schoolboy in 1955, when he published Les Mauvais anges, a sulphorous novel of adolescent male-to-male love, which was banned by the censors in 1956 and again in 1974. It did not officially appear until 1984. Despite the ban, and despite ongoing censorship, Jourdan continues to write novels, short stories and plays. His many books include the trilogy Charite, Revolte and Sang, and other equally uninhibited texts such as Le Garcon de joie, Aux...

Writing Shame and Desire: The Work of Annie Ernaux
ISBN: 9783039102754 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 315 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The mature narrator of Annie Ernaux s La Honte (1997) identifies her father s assault on her mother, in June 1952, as the founding event in her awareness of self and social place, a bedrock memory that represents the one remaining link between the child she was and the woman she has become. As an adolescent, the protagonist is sexually repressed and socially humiliated, incapable of communicating her shame. As a mature woman, the narrator gives a frank account of the childhood mortification that is stamped into her psyche, and (in the concluding lines of the text) flags a later...

Enduring Negativity: Representations of Albinism in the Novels of Didier Destremau, Patrick Grainville and Williams Sassine
ISBN: 9783034301794 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This study focuses on fictional representations of albinism in the work of the French writers Didier Destremau and Patrick Grainville, and the Francophone Guinean writer Williams Sassine. The focus on selected novels allows for an in-depth study of each narrative and sheds new critical light on these under-studied writers, permitting a comparative discussion of the novels in relation to other writing about albinism. A series of common themes can be found in these novels, which, although present in different combinations and intensities, echo the preoccupations of all fictional writing about...

Language and Its Contexts-- Le Langage Et Ses Contextes: Transposition and Transformation of Meaning?-- Transposition Et Transformation Du Sens ?
ISBN: 9783034301282 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Inspired by a postgraduate French studies conference (University of Nottingham, 10 September 2008), this volume explores linguistic form and content in relation to a variety of contexts, considering language alongside music, images, theatre, human experience of the world, and another language. Each essay asks what it is to understand language in a given context, and how, in spite of divergent expressive possibilities, a linguistic situation interacts with other contexts, renegotiating boundaries and redefining understanding. The book lies at the intersection of linguistics and hermeneutics,...

Poetics of the Antilles: Poetry, History and Philosophy in the Writings of Perse, Césaire, Fanon and Glissant
ISBN: 9783034308953 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 374 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The essays collected in this volume study the poetry and thought of four major Francophone Caribbean writers: Saint-John Perse, Aime Cesaire, Frantz Fanon and Edouard Glissant. In a context where identity was a question, an original conception of subjectivity appeared, as the end point rather than the origin of a process which was inseparably poetic and political. It entailed an aesthetics of dispersion or errance, rather than belonging. This volume thus questions the traditional teleological narrative of negritude as 'renaissance' or 'awakening'. A careful look at the birth of...

Simone de Beauvoir's Fiction: A Psychoanalytic Rereading
ISBN: 9783906768557 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Simone de Beauvoir s fiction is a largely unexplored field. This book offers new readings of her whole fictional corpus, using psychoanalysis as a critical lens. Vehemently anti-Freudian at the beginning of her career, Beauvoir denied the validity of his theories; however, her fiction hints at a different tale. It is the untold Beauvoirean story this book sets out to tell.
Firstly, using her own autobiographical admissions it examines her resolute resistance to psychoanalysis and offers possible reasons for her initial violent disavowal of its concepts. Secondly, it traces her explicit... Simone de Beauvoir s fiction is a largely unexplored field. This book offers new readings of her whole fictional corpus, using psychoanalysis as a cri...

The Games of Fiction: Georges Perec and Modern French Ludic Narrative
ISBN: 9783039106974 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 327 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book presents the first complete overview in English of the prose fiction of Georges Perec, recognised since his death in 1982 as one of the most influential and innovative French writers of his generation. In particular, it explores in depth the nature of the numerous, and often astonishing, games and ludic devices which he used to generate and develop his material and to draw his readers into a playful interaction with his texts. Moreover this study situates Perec s writings as the culmination of a significant tradition in twentieth-century French writing, that of ludic fiction, whose...

Rhythms: Essays in French Literature, Thought and Culture
ISBN: 9783039113491 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. As they oscillate and flow between action and aesthetics, habit and creativity, rhythms are vital to our understanding of how subjectivities are constructed upon the shifting borderlines between life and art. Yet whilst rhythm remains an established concept in studies of French poetry, this is the first major overview to address the centrality of rhythm in fields such as literature, philosophy, dance and film, and to link these debates across periods and disciplines within French Studies. Drawing on thinkers such as Deleuze and Guattari, Kristeva, Lefebvre, Meschonnic, and Virilio, the...
