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?

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...

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.

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...

Space: New Dimensions in French Studies
ISBN: 9783039101788 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 169 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book, which is the fruit of papers presented at the seventh Cambridge French Graduate Conference, offers innovative analyses of how space can provide metaphors for human thoughts, utterances and experiences. The authors cross-fertilise different approaches to the significance of space as a thematic and structuring principle in French and Francophone poetry, prose, philosophy and film. They are interested in three broad areas of enquiry: how spaces can be suffused with explorations of identity; how the dividing work done by maps marks and makes spaces; and how particular questions are...

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,...

ISBN: 9783039115631 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 223 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych.

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...

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...

This volume of texts and images has evolved from papers given at the inaugural Making Sense colloquium, which was held at the University of Cambridge in September 2009.

Crossing Borders: The Interrelation of Fact and Fiction in Historical Works, Travel Tales, Autobiography and Reportage
ISBN: 9783034319959 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. In the twentieth century, the boundaries between different literary genres started to be questioned, raising a discussion about the various narrative modes of factual and fictional discourses.
Moving on from the limited traditional studies of genre definitions, this book argues that the borders between these two types of discourse depend on complex issues of epistemology, literary traditions and social and political constraints. This study attempts a systematic and specific analysis of how literary works, and in particular documentary ones, where the borders are more difficult to define,...

The Fiction of Albert Camus: A Complex Simplicity
ISBN: 9783039103041 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book takes a fresh look at the novels and short stories of Albert Camus, from his early attempt at a first novel, La Mort heureuse, to the largely autobiographical Le Premier homme, unfinished at the time of his death. It seeks to see the oeuvre as a totality, coherent throughout, and examines the linkages and transformations from one work to the next, in the context of Camus s thought, attitudes and topoi or themes. The development of narrative techniques is examined, ranging from laconism to lyricism, from allegorism to realism, from humour to biting satire. The...
