ISBN: 9780820474298 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 114 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Contemporary Latina/o Performing Arts of Moraga, Tropicana, Fusco, and Bustamante demonstrates the crucial significance of looking at theatrical performance for rethinking critical inquiry.

ISBN: 9780820440965 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. What is a Chinese American? A Chinese? An American? Or both? Or neither?

In order to provide an answer to these questions, Chinese American writers transform a historical discourse into a historicist one to review history, an intrapersonal discourse into an interpersonal one to redefine autobiography, and a mythological discourse into a mythopoetical one to rewrite mythology, so as to transform an American Orientalist discourse into a Chinese American one for the reading and writing of...

John Updike's Human Comedy: Comic Morality in the Centaur and the Rabbit Novels

The comedy in John Updike s most important works The Centaur; Rabbit, Run; Rabbit Redux; Rabbit Is Rich; Rabbit at Rest; and Rabbit Remembered defines a comic world and its morality. Although critics have failed to recognize the extent and the importance of Updike s comedy, his serious fiction does contain a good deal of farce, burlesque, and irony that, far from being peripheral or mere comic relief, depicts the absurd and contradictory nature of life. Within such a world, set in the everyday Pennsylvania of the second half of the twentieth century, human beings mature, or gain...

Jane Smiley, Jonathan Franzen, Don Delillo: Narratives of Everyday Justice
ISBN: 9781433112942 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 263 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The novels of Jane Smiley, Jonathan Franzen, and Don DeLillo propose new readings of justice in contemporary American literature. Jason S. Polley argues that such distinctive writers as Smiley, Franzen, and DeLillo reconfigure what he calls -acts of justice- in various modalities and spaces. These authors re-conceptualize justice in their portrayals of peripheral groups, such as women, minorities, and outcasts. In lieu of fictionalizing justice in conventional courtrooms, these writers narratives make a virtue of representing the undetermined and everyday presence of justice. As a result,...

The Nation of Islam and Black Consciousness: The Works of Amiri Baraka, Sonia Sanchez, and Other Writers engages in the scholarly discussions about the origins and formation of the Black Arts Movement of the 1960s and 1970s, which rarely give credit to the role of the Nation of Islam's (NOI) teachings in the emergence of the movement and in shaping the subjects and themes of its literary works. This book reevaluates the common belief that Malcolm X is the most appealing black historical figure in the movement's literature and demonstrates how the NOI's perception of black consciousness shaped...

ISBN: 9780820441597 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 170 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The Beat Movement, which first rose to attention in 1955, has often been viewed by critics as an urban phenomenon the product of a postwar-youth culture with roots in the cities of New York and San Francisco. This study examines another side of the Beat Movement: its strong desire for a reconnection with nature. Although each took a different path in attaining this goal, the writers considered here Gary Snyder, Jack Kerouac, Lew Welch, and Michael McClure sought a new and closer connection to the natural world. These four writers, along with many of their counterparts in the Beat era,...
