Making Sense: Sense Perception in the British Novel of the 1980s and 1990s
ISBN: 9789042018648 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Fiction is fascinating. All it provides us with is black letters on white pages, yet while we read we do not have the impression that we are merely perceiving abstract characters. Instead, we see the protagonists before our inner eye and hear their voices. Descriptions of sumptuous meals make our mouths water, we feel physically repelled by depictions of violence or are aroused by the erotic details of sexual conquests. We submerge ourselves in the fictional world that no longer stays on the paper but comes to life in our imagination. Reading turns into an out-of-the-body experience or,...

Staging England in the Elizabethan History Play: Performing National Identity
ISBN: 9781472420497 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Applying current political theory on nationhood as well as methods established by recent performance studies, this study sheds new light on the role the public theatre played in the rise of English national identity around 1600. It situates selected history plays by Shakespeare and Marlowe in the context of non-fictional texts (such as historiographies, chorographies, political treatises, or dictionary entries) and cultural artefacts (such as maps or portraits), and thus highlights the circulation, and mutation, of national thought in late sixteenth-century culture. At the same time, it goes...

Performing National Identity : Anglo-Italian Cultural Transactions
ISBN: 9789042023147 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. National identity is not some naturally given or metaphysically sanctioned racial or territorial essence that only needs to be conceptualised or spelt out in discursive texts; it emerges from, takes shape in, and is constantly defined and redefined in individual and collective performances. It is in performances-ranging from the scenarios of everyday interactions to 'cultural performances' such as pageants, festivals, political manifestations or sports, to the artistic performances of music, dance, theatre, literature, the visual and culinary arts and more recent media-that cultural identity...

Early Encounters Between East Asia and Europe: Telling Failures
ISBN: 9781472481672 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. While inquiries into early encounters between East Asia and the West have traditionally focused on successful interactions, this collection inquires into the many forms of failure, experienced on all sides, in the period before 1850. Countering a tendency in scholarship to overlook unsuccessful encounters, it starts from the assumption that failures can prove highly illuminating and provide valuable insights into both the specific shapes and limitations of East Asian and Western imaginations of the Other, as well as of the nature of East-West interaction. Interdisciplinary in outlook, this...

An exploration of early modern encounters between Christian Europe and the (Islamic) East from the perspective of performance studies and performativity theories, this collection focuses on the ways in which these cultural contacts were acted out on the real and metaphorical stages of theatre, literature, music, diplomacy and travel.
