An einer uberregionalen deutschsprachigen Zeitung wie der Westlichen Post lassen sich die Auswirkungen des Krieges aus der Sicht der Deutschamerikaner untersuchen. Es war zu klaren, aus welcher Perspektive die Zeitung das -Vaterland- Deutschland und aus welcher sie das -Adoptivvaterland- USA betrachtete. Die Westliche Post fungierte als Medium, welches...

Pleasing to the «I»: The Culture of Personality and Its Representations in Theodore Dreiser and F. Scott Fitzgerald
ISBN: 9783631523957 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book discusses how Theodore Dreiser and F. Scott Fitzgerald alongside other novelists enforced in their usage and interpretation of the term -personality- a newly emerging vision of self in American society. This vision was other-directed: many Americans meant to impress their social surroundings through consciously cultivating personality as a social stimulus value, which they hoped would ceaselessly further their social station. Anticipating the discourses in other cultural forms, the early twentieth-century American novelists warned that individuals repeated endeavors to define...

«Poets and Great Audiences»: Amerikanische Dichtung in Anthologien, 1745-1950
ISBN: 9783631503126 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 2005 / 498 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. To have great poets, there must be great audiences, too. Whitmans Diktum artikuliert einen fur die amerikanische Dichtung ebenso folgenreichen wie fragwurdigen Anspruch. Nirgendwo wird dies so deutlich wie in den einflussreichen Anthologien zwischen 1745 und 1950. Ihre Versionen der poetischen Tradition spiegelten und pragten das kulturelle Selbstverstandnis der Nation, gaben der literaturkritischen Debatte wesentliche Impulse und boten jungen Autoren Orientierung. Diese Studie, die sich auch auf Verlagsarchive, Autorenbriefwechsel und zeitgenossische Pressetexte stutzt, untersucht...

The Popular Anti-Icon in American Sports
ISBN: 9783631738054 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 406 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The case studies of Joe Namath, Dennis Rodman and Barry Bonds show how this phenomenon has become visible from the 1960s onwards because of profound changes within the media and sports. These athletes undermined the original sports-hero ideology and still became successful and popular on and off the field - also in a commercial fashion.

Revisiting Walt Whitman: On the Occasion of His 200th Birthday
ISBN: 9783631782064 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The collection of essays explores the transnational and intermedial (music, visual arts, digital media) legacy of Walt Whitman. It provides examples of his influence as well as suggestive parallels in contemporary poetry and thought. One common concern is the question of Whitman's understanding of democracy and its consequences for poetry and art. Revisiting Whitman has no revisionist agenda. Nor is it nearly celebratory: it also shows tensions and ambivalences in the oeuvre of "The Good Gray Poet."

Blackness and the Color Black in 20th-Century African-American Fiction
ISBN: 9783631619629 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Nobody s skin is really black or white. Yet both terms are constantly used to classify people. Whiteness studies have revealed that white must be considered as an ideological label that defines superiority and privilege. Conversely, black came to mark inferiority and discrimination. This study explores how African-Americans responded to Anglo-Saxon race theory by adopting the originally demeaning assignation black and turning it into the ideology of black self-empowerment and racial pride. The analyses of eighteen novels from the African-American literary canon which focus on the significance...

Framing and Reframing the Ladies: Viewing Attitudes in the Portrait of a Lady and Its Cinematic Counterpart
ISBN: 9783631567050 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Striving to leave fidelity-criticism behind, this comparative analysis treats Henry James Portrait of a Lady and its cinematic counterpart by Jane Campion as complementary versions of Isabel s story. The graphic integration of stills functioning as visual evidence emphasizes the dialogic quality of this comparison based on non-essentialist feminist and post-structuralist principles. Mainly focusing on literary and visual strategies employed by both media to represent wo/men on page and screen, this analysis shows how those strategies result in a non-affirmative realism preventing both...

Motherhood and Self-Realization in the Four Waves of American Feminism and Joyce Carol Oates's Recent Fiction
ISBN: 9783631664957 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 391 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The author examines motherhood and female self-realization in feminist discourse and Joyce Carol Oates s recent fiction. While the first and second wave of feminism repudiated motherhood, the third wave claimed the right to enjoy it. The present fourth wave is now reviving the reservations about motherhood of the first two waves. This book demonstrates how Oates s writing reflects these shifts and how Oates takes up and transforms feminist standpoints in her work without writing conventional feminist literature. Literary criticism has only marginally dealt with Oates s mother figures.... The author examines motherhood and female self-realization in feminist discourse and Joyce Carol Oates s recent fiction.

The Horses of Cormac McCarthy's «All the Pretty Horses» Rides and Rites of Passage
ISBN: 9783631817131 / Angielski / Twarda / 2021 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The horses in All the Pretty Horses are ubiquitous but rarely the center of attention. Their depiction is surprisingly authentic and without anthropomorphization. This book illustrates how an equicentric reading offers new insights into the novel's spaces, characters, and relationships. It features comparisons with popular horse-narratives and an equicentric analysis of the novel's gender relations. How does horsemanship redefine masculinity? What is the inherent connection between femininity and the equine? This book answers these questions from an equicentric perspective, while taking into...

Auctoritas Patrum?: The Reception of the Church Fathers in Puritanism
ISBN: 9783631607442 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 449 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This study focuses on how Puritans in England and especially New England used the church fathers when reading the Bible and defending Congregationalism. The analysis of a variety of textual genres and largely unedited sources written between 1592 and 1728 shows that patristic sources are often cited. Contrary to the widespread assumption that they embraced a fundamentalist Biblicism, Puritans prove to be fully engaged in the rich traditional theological discourse and display a remarkable knowledge of the church fathers. Their authority was that of close witnesses of the primitive age rather...

From Fiction to Libretto: Irving, Hawthorne, and James as Opera
ISBN: 9783631534144 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 582 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This study introduces the reader to the mostly unknown world of libretto adaptations of nineteenth-century American fiction. The analysis of stage works based on Washington Irving s -Rip Van Winkle-, Nathaniel Hawthorne s The Scarlet Letter, and Henry James s Washington Square explores a largely unexamined area of the reception history of these authors and narratives. As opera and drama have been interlinked throughout American theater history, the discussion of adaptations will include multiple types of spoken and musical theater. Appendices documenting the existence of over...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. -Judischkeit- - wie druckt sich die Beziehung eines Autors zu einer religiosen und kulturellen Gemeinschaft in dessen Werk aus? Am Beispiel des bekannten judisch-amerikanischen Schriftstellers und Filmemachers Woody Allen versucht der Autor, diese Frage zu erortern. Welche philosophischen Standpunkte vermittelt Allen, wie steht er zur Religion im allgemeinen und zur judischen im besonderen? Und vor allem: Wie reiht er sich ein in eine jahrtausendealte literarische Tradition? Affinitaten zu Schriftstellern der Vergangenheit und der Gegenwart werden aufgezeigt, die Allen u.a. in einen Kontext...

This study focuses on the connection between GM products and America and the fundamental values represented by politics, business, and society. The author examines which textual and visual strategies GM uses in its image advertising to establish and maintain its...

Appropriating Thomas Jefferson, 1929-1945: We Are All Jeffersonians Now
ISBN: 9783631793671 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This study counters the view that Franklin D. Roosevelt hegemonically exalted Thomas Jefferson to iconic dominance during the Great Depression. It analyzes the diversity of those who appropriated Jefferson to find answers to the socio-economic crisis and modern industrial capitalism. This discourse analysis, spanning the ideological spectrum between 1929-1945, reveals that the creation of the Jefferson icon-in various forms of representation-generated counterhegemonic varieties of Jefferson because the appropriators grafted their values onto the historical figure which led to its...
