Disruptive Fluidity: The Poetics of the Pop Cogito
ISBN: 9783631633984 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 164 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Disruptive Fluidity explores the textual tropes of liquidity in contemporary reconstructions of modern subjectivity. The key idea that frames the book is the assumption concerning the culture-creating functions of such dichotomies as containment/incontinence, interior/exterior, cleanliness/contamination, and demarcation/boundlessness, and their role in the process of defining the notion of modern subjectivity. These assumptions are based on a conviction that categories traditionally identified with corporeality do not exist in separation from the discourse of subjectivity. What is...

Aspects of Reference in Literary Theory: Poetics, Rhetoric and Literary History
ISBN: 9783631729397 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 166 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The book presents the various viewpoints that poetics, literary history and Western rhetoric have adopted throughout Western history. The aim of poetics is to render the specificity of the literary discourse by either highlighting the extra literary generative forces or by focusing on the intrinsic study of literary works. Rhetoric chiefly places emphasis on the verbal effects of discourses whereas literary history predominantly examines the temporal succession of the literary systems or of the literary institution. The author focuses on the three sections: poetics, rhetoric, and literary...

Litanic Verse I: Origines, Iberia, Slavia Et Europa Media
ISBN: 9783631663509 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The book contains comparative analyses of the development of litanic verse in European poetry, from medieval to modern times. Litanic verse is based on different syntactic devices, such as enumeration, parallelism, anaphora and epiphora. However, it is not to be seen merely as a convention of versification as the popularity of different variants of the verse in Europe reflects the religious, intellectual, social and political history of various European regions. The essays in the first volume focus on the origins of the Litany (the Near East, Greece, Byzantium, Rome), as well as the...

Multicultural Dilemmas: Identity, Difference, Otherness
ISBN: 9783631567524 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Multiculturalism has recently become a word without which hardly any discussion of identity, nationality or historical and ideological narratives seems possible. However, the popularity of this word and its current usefulness should not obscure the fact that the concept itself is not an easy and obvious one: many apparently firm assumptions have been disputed from a multicultural perspective, while there are still a great number of social, cultural and political spheres which need to be re-defined and re-articulated as some dominant notions and symbols have been subverted by recognition of...

Body, Letter, and Voice: Constructing Knowledge in Detective Fiction
ISBN: 9783631563830 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The author treats, in historical and philosophical terms, the contributions of the traditionally marginalized genre of detective fiction to epistemology: how detective fiction not only traces the progression of knowledge and its discovery, as has been the traditional model for understanding this genre, but, in fact, constructs it through narrative. Particular focus is on Colin Dexter, creator of the Inspector Morse character and series. This work also links detective fiction to more legitimate, accepted realms of literature and criticism: semiotics (the reading of clues, with the body as a...

A relationship between man and place has always attracted scientists, scholars, and artists attention.

Litanic Verse IV: Italia
ISBN: 9783631748053 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Litanic verse is based on different syntactic and rhetorical devices, such as enumeration, parallelism, anaphora, and epiphora. Its Italian variants are not to be seen as a mere convention of versification, but as a multifactorial phenomenon, which involves semantic and performative aspects as well. The variants reveal their different faces within various periods, beginning with the Duecento. This book analyzes Italian poetry up until the first decades of the twentieth century, together with certain musical pieces that are closely related to the history of literature. The monograph is the...

Critical Theory and Critical Genres: Contemporary Perspectives from Poland
ISBN: 9783631647936 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 219 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book is the result of a shared conviction of the necessity to advance the international discourse on criticism. What originated in ancient curiosity and developing self-reflexion became the critical thought of the modern era and then developed into a program of constant intellectual contestation and struggle allied with various ideologies to subsequently become an integral part of post-structuralist culture theory and recently the New Humanities, also known as post-theory. The book positions itself within contemporary considerations of the theory and practice of criticism and presents...

The Effect of Palimpsest: Culture, Literature, History
ISBN: 9783631603406 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This volume, entitled The Effect of Palimpsest: Culture, Literature, History, undertakes the pioneering task of employing the notion of palimpsest in the multi-layered and changing cultural landscape specific to East Central Europe. The multifarious readings presented in the collection, which evolved from a 2009 conference at the University of Chicago, contribute to a critical reframing of the origins, history and theory of the concept of the palimpsest. Beyond being viewed as an epistemological metaphor, the palimpsest reveals its potential to generate and engage a complex network of...

The Feminine of Difference: Gilles Deleuze, Hélène Cixous and Contemporary Critique of the Marquis de Sade
ISBN: 9783631394595 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 122 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The work follows the vicissitudes of the concept of difference in contemporary cultural discourse: a shift from the Platonic notion of difference as a pillar of separation to Gilles Deleuze s notion of pure difference as the ground for communication. Special attention is paid to the relevance of pure difference for gender studies, in particular, as a means of redefining the key relations of mind-body and man-woman. The shape the relations in question assume in patriarchal reality (and the consequent subjugation of the feminine) is presented indirectly, via contemporary readings of the...

We Need to Talk about Heidegger: Essays Situating Martin Heidegger in Contemporary Media Studies
ISBN: 9783631750674 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This collection assembles a number of chapters engaging different strands of Martin Heidegger's philosophy in order to explore issues relevant to contemporary media studies. Following the release of Heidegger's controversial Black Notebooks and the subsequent calls to abandon the philosopher, this book seeks to demonstrate why Heidegger, rather than be pushed aside and shunned by media practitioners, ought to be embraced by and further incorporated into the discipline, as he offers unique and often innovative pathways to address, and ultimately understand, our daily engagements with...

The World According to Bridget Jones: Discourses of Identity in Chicklit Fictions examines the cultural functioning of a popular contemporary strand in mainstream Anglo-American literature, known as -chicklit-. Assuming that the interpretive potential of chicklit novels is connected with the process of identity formation, the book points out the possibility of the reader s identification with certain fictional discourses permeating the convention. The study focuses on complex links between Anglo-American cultural discourses and narrative constructions of identity and explores narrative...

The book is a theoretical examination of the concept of the Unconscious with an analysis of three literary works as an illustration of the views of Freud, Lacan and Kristeva. The main goal is to analyze in detail a central concept in psychoanalysis in fact, one of the -four fundamental concepts of psychoanalysis-, to quote Lacan and then see its literary embodiment in protagonists, characters, scenes. In other words, the book will help the reader to overcome the difficulties in grasping some psychoanalytic ideas through the use of a very specific form of language, the language of contemporary...

A Sense of Apocalypse: Technology, Textuality, Identity
ISBN: 9783631648124 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 138 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Reaching into the depths of the collective unconscious, A Sense of Apocalypse explores and re-interprets one of the West s primordial fears, namely that of the apocalyptic closure of both cultural praxis and individual experience. Yet, in contrast to popular connotations of the term, apocalypse is viewed here in terms of a transitional narrative locating the subject at the intersection of technological determinism, pop-cultural imagination, postmodern urbanism and digital textuality. All these form the components of a new post-apocalyptic landscape, which not only produces a new...

The subsequent chapters of the book deal with selected questions from Jeanette Winterson s fiction, such as gender issues, love and eroticism, language and time, constituting areas within which Winterson s characters seek their identity.

The author attempts to determine the...

Cartographies of Culture: Memory, Space, Representation
ISBN: 9783631609095 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Nowadays the issues of space and place pertain more than ever to the ongoing discussion about personal/regional/national identities. The worlds of private archives of memory often exist independently of political and administrative divisions, while dominant ideologies are often capable of re-defining national archives of memory through selective representation of the past. The way we remember our past and our heritage inscribes the space we live in: the places we remember and the places we wish to forget, the monuments we pull down and erect and the museums we build are only some of the...
