This book addresses the function of fiction in the creation of an historical myth and the uses of myth over time.

Humor and Irony in Nineteenth-Century German Women's Writing: Studies in Prose Fiction, 1840-1900
ISBN: 9781571133045 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Nineteenth-century German literature is seldom seen as rich in humor and irony, and women's writing from that period is perhaps even less likely to be seen as possessing those qualities. Yet since comedy is bound to societal norms, and humor and irony are recognized weapons of the weak against authority, what this innovative study reveals should not be surprising: women writers found much to laugh at in a bourgeois age when social constraints, particularly on women, were tight. Helen Chambers analyzes prose fiction by leading female writers of the day who prominently employ humor and irony....

The Cause of Cosmopolitanism: Dispositions, Models, Transformations
ISBN: 9783034301398 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Today, cosmopolitanism can be identified with ideas, practices and representations that are among our most important resources as we grapple with the pressures of a globalized world. The book, in assessing cosmopolitanism as a cause, argues that justifications and critiques of the cosmopolitan are shaped as much by political and cultural forces as by the distinctive philosophical tradition in which they are situated. The volume brings together a series of case studies, both historical accounts of the vicissitudes and the legacies of the cosmopolitan outlook, and critical analyses of a range...

ISBN: 9783034301589 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 211 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This volume contains a selection of the proceedings of a conference on European problems of identity titled Europe and its Others, which was held in St Andrews in July 2007. It looks at some of the histories and stories that connect the European margins to an imagined or imaginary centre of this complex continent as seen mostly from within, and with self-reflective insights from literary, socio-historical and cinematic perspectives. By following the marginal route created by the essays, the volume juxtaposes, as in a mosaic, a range of artistic discourses produced in many European...

To Veil or Not to Veil: Europe's Shape-Shifting 'Other'
ISBN: 9783034308595 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 237 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Immigration has become a contentious issue in Europe in recent decades, with immigrants being accused of resisting integration and threatening the secular fabric of nationhood. The most extreme form of this unease has invented and demonized an Islamic other within Europe. This book poses central questions about this global staging of difference. How has such anxiety increased exponentially since 9/11? Why has the Muslim veil been singled out as a metaphor in debates about citizenship? Lastly, and most fundamentally, who sets the criteria for constructing the ideal citizen?

British and Catholic?: National and Religious Identity in the Work of David Jones, Evelyn Waugh and Muriel Spark
ISBN: 9783034308601 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 150 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Since the Reformation, Catholics in Britain have been faced with an outsider status that has often given rise to conflict between their British national and Catholic religious identities. This study examines the ways in which this problematic history is addressed by three twentieth-century British authors: David Jones, Evelyn Waugh and Muriel Spark. Focusing on works by these writers, in which issues of national and religious identity are particularly prominent, the author argues that they share a reconciliatory approach to the matter of British and Catholic identity, an approach derived from...

They laboured in Britain s seafaring towns in the early twentieth century, and played an essential, yet little-known, role in her industrial heartlands after World War II. This book explores the intersections of the themes of racism, class and resistance in the life-stories of Yemeni former steelworkers in Sheffield, Britain s major steel-producing city. These main biographical themes are examined within the broader context of post-war British history. The work utilises a life-story approach, and is dependent on the narratives...

ISBN: 9783034307314 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 221 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) On 19 June 1992 Austria and Italy declared the official resolution of the South Tyrol question the dispute that had dominated relations between the two countries since the end of the First World War. While this bilingual province is today held up as a triumph of minority rights protection and a model for post-conflict societies across the world, the story of the South Tyrol since its amalgamation into the Italian state in 1919 has been a complex and often turbulent one.

Rethinking 'Identities': Cultural Articulations of Alterity and Resistance in the New Millennium
ISBN: 9783034308656 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This volume sets out to re-imagine the theoretical and epistemological presuppositions of existing scholarship on identities. Despite a well-established body of scholarly texts that examine the concept from a wide range of perspectives, there is a surprising dearth of work on multiple, heterogeneous forms of identity. Numerous studies of ethnic, linguistic, regional and religious identities have appeared, but largely in isolation from one another.

The South Tyrol Question, 1866-2010; From National Rage to Regional State
ISBN: 9783039113361 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 186 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) South Tyrol is a small, mountainous area located in the central Alps. Despite its modest geographical size, it has come to represent a success story in the protection of ethnic minorities in Europe. When Austrian South Tyrol was given to Italy in 1919, about 200,000 German and Ladin speakers became Italian citizens overnight. Despite Italy s attempts to Italianize the South Tyroleans, especially during the Fascist era from 1922 to 1943, they sought to maintain their traditions and language, culminating in violence in the 1960s. In 1972 South Tyrol finally gained geographical and cultural...
