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?

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...

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. 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...

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. 30 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,...

Threat: Essays in French Literature, Thought and Visual Culture

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.

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...

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.

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...

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.

Through selected case studies, this diachronic history of motifs offers a fresh perspective on canonical singer archetypes, such as Goethe's child singer Mignon and Madame de Stael's ground-breaking artist Corinne. The volume also examines lesser known narratives by authors including Caroline Auguste Fischer, E.T.A. Hoffmann, Hector Berlioz and Marceline...
