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...

A partir d une lecture detaillee de L Impossible, ce livre met peu a peu en lumiere la relation paradoxale qui s etablit dans le mouvement de l ecriture entre le langage, l experience et le monde. Cette approche favorise les confrontations en sciences humaines et en meme temps, elle eclaire le sens de la haine de la poesie qui excede les limites de la litterature et de la philosophie.

Michel Houellebecq: Author of Our Times
ISBN: 9783039113736 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 219 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Michel Houellebecq is a French author whose profile in the English-speaking world is unusually high. He is an author who has put the humour back into the Absurd, without losing any of the awareness of the bleakness of the human condition. Undoubtedly one of the most trenchant satirists of our time, he deflates the projected utopias that we imagine protect us from the ills that beset us. More than many other novelists, his work is a reflection of the social and economic reality of life in a post-industrial society. Houellebecq shows a world of violence and tension, a world where people find it...

Songbirds on the Literary Stage: The Woman Singer and Her Song in French and German Prose Fiction, from Goethe to Berlioz
ISBN: 9783034307345 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 285 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych.

The volume also examines lesser known narratives by authors including Caroline Auguste Fischer, E.T.A. Hoffmann, Hector Berlioz and Marceline...

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."

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...

Francophone Writing in Transition: Algeria 1900-1945
ISBN: 9783039102945 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 339 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Francophone writing in Algeria has traditionally been read as grounded in displacement and erasure of the colonised culture. Yet even the most assimilated evolue remained critical and conscious of a dual allegiance; and even the most resistant underwent significant acculturation, which they had to integrate into their claims to rootedness in a local community (itself jarringly reshaped by colonialism). Their writing (both fiction and non-fiction) is studied here for the first time as the hesitant articulation of strategies of alternative representation and, however modest, of deviance...

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....

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...
