Firestorm: American Film in the Age of Terrorism
ISBN: 9780231148719 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. It was believed that September 11th would make certain kinds of films obsolete, such as action thrillers crackling with explosions or high-casualty blockbusters where the hero escapes unscathed. While the production of these films did ebb, the full impact of the attacks on Hollywood's creative output is still taking shape.

Is it even possible to practice poetic license with such a devastating, broadly felt tragedy? Stephen Prince...

ISBN: 9781469627281 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the immediate aftermath of the Civil War, the character of the South, and even its persistence as a distinct region, was an open question. During Reconstruction, the North assumed significant power to redefine the South, imagining a region rebuilt and modeled on northern society. The white South actively resisted these efforts, battling the legal strictures of Reconstruction on the ground. Meanwhile, white southern storytellers worked to recast the South's image, romanticizing the Lost Cause and heralding the birth of a New South. In Stories of the South, K. Stephen Prince argues...

Grotesque Figures: Baudelaire, Rousseau, and the Aesthetics of Modernity
ISBN: 9780801879456 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. Charles Baudelaire is usually read as a paradigmatically modern poet, whose work ushered in a new era of French literature. But the common emphasis on his use of new forms and styles overlooks the complex role of the past in his work. In Grotesque Figures, Virginia E. Swain explores how the specter of the eighteenth century made itself felt in Baudelaire's modern poetry in the pervasive textual and figural presence of Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Not only do Rousseau's ideas inform Baudelaire's theory of the grotesque, but Rousseau makes numerous appearances in Baudelaire's poetry as a...
