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...

Walter Redfern considere le langage comme alternativement reactionnaire et revolutionnaire. Les mots sont complices dans le cramponnement humain aux realites perimees, et toutefois le langage ne cesse d evoluer par des processus de deplacement et de remplacement. En sus de la nature apparemment statique des cliches, cette etude se concentre donc sur le potentiel...

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...

Parasites: Exploitation and Interference in French Thought and Culture
ISBN: 9783034322669 / Angielski / Miękka / 2018 / 274 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The word "parasite" evokes nearness and feeding: the Greek parasitos is "one who eats at the table of another". In biology, a parasitic organism is the beneficiary of an unequal relation with its host. The social parasite, too, is one recognized or misrecognized as the unproductive recipient of one-way exchange. In communications theory, meanwhile, static or interference ("parasite", in French) is the useless information which clouds the channel between sender and receiver. In 1980, Michel Serres's Le Parasite mobilized the concept of the parasite to figure noises, disruptions,...

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. 10-14 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...

Threat: Essays in French Literature, Thought and Visual Culture
ISBN: 9783039113576 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This collection of essays arises from the 2005 Cambridge French Graduate Conference on the theme of threat. From the baleful and ubiquitous eyes of surveillance cameras to the ever-present possibility of total nuclear annihilation, threat is everywhere around us. Yet the phenomenon itself, if indeed it is a single phenomenon, has received little attention. This volume seeks to remedy this oversight with a collection of concise, hard-hitting essays on a variety of topics in French culture. Organized around central approaches to the problem of threat (inter)cultural, philosophical, and...

Inspired by the work of their colleague David Gascoigne, a group of scholars from the UK and France examine in this book the narrative strategies of some of the most interesting and important French writers of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Stretching chronologically from 1905 to 2005, the volume examines a wide variety of prose genres, from pornography to Bildungsroman to magic realism, as well as poetry.

Postcolonial Echoes and Evocations: The Intertextual Appeal of Maryse Condé
ISBN: 9783039105786 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 329 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This work is a sedulous enquiry into the intertextual practice of Maryse Conde in Moi, Tituba, sorciere noire de Salem (1986), Traversee de la mangrove (1989) and La Migration des c urs (1995), the texts of her uvre in which the practice is the most elaborate and discursively significant. Arguing that no satisfactory reading of these novels is possible without due intertextual reference and interpretation, the author analyses salient intertexts which flesh out and, in the case of Traversee de la mangrove, shed considerable new light on meaning and authorial...

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...

Masking Strategies: Unwrapping the French Paratext
ISBN: 9783034307468 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Gerard Genette s seminal study of the paratext, Seuils (1987), is the starting point for this collection of essays, all of which seek not only to engage with Genette s taxonomy and apply it, but also to interrogate it and to move through and beyond it. In addition to mapping Genette s organization of (para)textual space onto a number of French texts, including novels and plays, texts translated into French, book series and publishing marketing material, these essays take up some of the challenges raised in Seuils as well as posing their own. For example, the relationship between...
