Since the early 1980s, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of international gay/lesbian-themed visual productions, ranging from pornographic images and television programmes to advertising and graphic novels.

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...

Painted Poetry: Colour in Baudelaire's Art Criticism
ISBN: 9783039110940 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 241 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Before becoming a poet, Charles Baudelaire was an art critic; and he made his literary debut with the Salon de 1845. Its failure to find a receptive audience led him to write the groundbreaking Salon de 1846 with its pivotal chapter on colour, in which Baudelaire challenged fundamental critical concepts of art by insisting on colour s complexity, expressivity and modernity. Through a close reading of his critical essays on art, this book examines how Baudelaire s thoughts on colour developed throughout his life and sets them in the context of traditional views of colour. What...

French Feminisms 1975 and After: New Readings, New Texts
ISBN: 9783034322096 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This volume explores contemporary French women's writing through the prism of one of the defining moments of modern feminism: the writings of the 1970s that came to be known as "French feminism". With their exhilarating renewal of the rules of fiction, and a sophisticated theoretical approach to gender, representation and textuality, Helene Cixous and others became internationally recognised for their work, at a time when the women's movement was also a driving force for social change. Taking its cue from Les Femmes s'entetent, a multi-authored analysis of the situation of women and a...

ISBN: 9783034302395 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 211 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Offering new perspectives on the role of broadcasting in the construction of cultural memory, this book analyses selected instances in relation to questions of French identity at the BBC during the Second World War.

Case studies investigate cultural memories constructed through three contrasting soundscapes. The first focuses on the translation of Frenchness to the BBC s domestic audiences; the second examines the use of slogans on...

ISBN: 9783039119004 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych.

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...

Marie Darrieussecq's Textual Worlds: Self, Society, Language

This is the first book-length study devoted to the work of Marie Darrieussecq, one of France s leading contemporary writers, whose work has proved fascinating to both critics and readers for its diversity, the author s seeming ability to evade established literary categories and the changes in focus of her trajectory. This volume focuses on this ambivalence, highlighting the capacity of Darrieussecq s texts both to confront contemporary social issues, such as national identity and the role of women, and examine the complex relationship between language and reality. Focusing on the mid-section...

The essays collected in this volume include a selection of those presented at a conference in the Universitat Rovira i Virgili, Tarragona, Spain, in 2002. They highlight the existence of a European network of women s writing which became a valuable source of consciousness-raising, not only for European women writers, but also for their readers. The main theme running through the essays is love: women loving against the odds and transcending all kinds of obstacles. Does love speak a common language or is it inevitably linked to social mores and individual experience? Does desire work in the...

This book examines the means and effects of the subject s transmutation into various processes of (de-)subjectivation by looking at the works of four contemporary writers: Christian Prigent, Dominique Fourcade, Olivier Cadiot and Hubert Lucot. The author explores their work in the context of Gilles Deleuze s philosophy, building a critical apparatus a poetics of becoming that informs close readings of poems and prose. Moving beyond established criteria of classical literary criticism, the book both offers a comparative discussion of...

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...

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...

She's Leaving Home: Women's Writing in English in a European Context
ISBN: 9783034301671 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This collection of essays, written by scholars from all over Europe, explores the cultural meanings of women leaving home. Although all the chapters analyse writings in English, the volume aims to put the narrative element of home-leaving into a European context by investigating travel in various directions: from England to somewhere abroad, from the (former) colonies to the (former) imperial centre or simply within a psychic space. The female figures discussed in the volume leave home for various reasons to go into exile, to challenge orthodox conceptions of femininity, to travel for...
