ISBN: 9780813576787 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This dynamic and richly layered account of mental health in the late twentieth century interweaves three important stories: the rising political prominence of mental health in the United States since 1970; the shifting medical diagnostics of mental health at a time when health activists, advocacy groups, and public figures were all speaking out about the needs and rights of patients; and the concept of voice in literature, film, memoir, journalism, and medical case study that connects the health experiences of individuals to shared stories.
Together, these three dimensions bring... This dynamic and richly layered account of mental health in the late twentieth century interweaves three important stories: the rising political promi...

Transatlantic Modernism: Moral Dilemmas in Modernist Fiction
ISBN: 9780748623938 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Transatlantic Modernism traces the intersection of artistic and moral ideas in European and American literary modernism. Rather than reading modernism as a complete rejection of social morality, this perceptive study shows how early twentieth-century writers such as Conrad, Faulkner, Gide, Kafka, Mann and Stein devised new aesthetic techniques to address ethical problems. By focusing on a range of decadent, naturalist, avant-garde and expatriate writers between the 1890s and 1940s, this book reassesses the moral trajectory of fiction on both sides of the Atlantic.

Images of Idiocy: The Idiot Figure in Modern Fiction and Film
ISBN: 9780754602651 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book traces the concept of idiocy as it has developed in fiction and film in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It focuses particularly on visual images of idiocy and argues that writers as diverse as Gustave Flaubert, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Joseph Conrad, John Steinbeck, Flannery O'Connor and Rohinton Mistry, and filmmakers such as Jean Renoir, Akira Kurosawa, Alfred Hitchcock, Werner Herzog and John Huston have all been attracted to idiot figures as a way of thinking through issues of language acquisition, intelligence, creativity, disability, religion and social identity. Martin...

Critical Humanisms: Humanist/Anti-Humanist Dialogues
ISBN: 9780748615049 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This distinctive reappraisal of humanism argues that humanist thought is a diverse tradition which cannot be reduced to current conceptions of it. By considering humanism via the categories of Romantic, Existential, Dialogic, Civic, Spiritual, Pagan, Pragmatic and Technological Humanisms, Halliwell and Mousley propose that the critical edge of humanist thought can be rescued from its popular view as intellectually redundant. They also argue that because these humanisms contain within them anti-humanist perspectives, it is possible to counter the charge that humanism is based upon an...
