Place of the Sacred: The Rhetoric of the Satanic Verses Affair
ISBN: 9783631319956 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 187 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) There has been a heated international debate over Salman Rushdie's book "The Satanic Verses" ever since its publication in 1988. The present work examines the ways in which this affair has developed. From the beginning, one can find strong rhetorical emphases; these are shown to argue for maintenance of meaningful boundaries. The thesis of Kuortti's book is that on each side of the debate, people use similar language to argue for the sanctity of their convictions. This is evident especially in the opposition between the arguments for the sacrality of Islam and literature. In the international...

Writing Imagined Diasporas: South Asian Women Reshaping North American Identity
ISBN: 9781847183422 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 198 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Joel Kuortti’s Writing Imagined Diasporas: South Asian Women Reshaping North American Identity is a study of diasporic South Asian women writers. It argues that the diasporic South Asians are not merely assimilating to their host cultures but they are also actively reshaping them through their own, new voices bringing new definitions of identity. As diaspora does not emerge as a mere sociological fact but it becomes what it is because it is said to be what it is, the writings of imagined diasporas challenge “national” discourses.Diaspora brings to mind various contested ideas and...

Fictions to Live in: Narration as an Argument for Fiction in Salman Rushdie's Novels
ISBN: 9783631338742 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 267 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Joel Kuortti's "Fictions to Live In" is a study of Rushdie's six novels to date: "Grimus, Midnight's Children, Shame, The Satanic Verses, Haroun and the Sea of Stories" and "The Moor's Last Sigh." By analysing each of these individual texts, the present work aims at an evaluation of the status of fiction in these novels. It illustrates how one of the major implications of Rushdie's works is the argument for the centrality of fiction in human societies; that there is, in a way, an argument for fiction as an epistemology and, finally, an ethics. An argument for an ethics which seems to bring...

Transculturation and Aesthetics: Ambivalence, Power, and Literature
ISBN: 9789042039155 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) This collection is a timely reflection on the momentous concept of transculturalism. With its historical roots in globalization, transculturation, oriented to (new) aesthetics, seeks new cultural formations, and, with its heterogeneous author- and readership, enlists active participation by the individual. The volume focuses on the interplay between and lapses within interrelated domains of study - postcolonial, diaspora, and world-literary - which attend to the material and discursive circumstances of the literary work. The various readings argue for a situated mode of reading that attends...

Thinking with the Familiar in Contemporary Literature and Culture 'Out of the Ordinary'
ISBN: 9789004402270 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) What grows out of the ordinary? This volume focuses on that which has been regarded as ordinary, self-evident and formulaic in literary and cultural phenomena such as diasporic cuisine, pet adoption narratives, Prairie writing, romance between stepsiblings, the program of a political party, and everyday shopping in poetry. The book argues that by engaging with that which is perceived as ordinary we also gain understanding of how otherness becomes defined and constituted. The volume seeks new ways to access that which might lie in-between or beyond the opposition between exploitation and...
