Transgressing Boundaries in Jeanette Winterson's Fiction
ISBN: 9783631589533 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. 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. As they contest and repudiate cliches, stereotypes and patterns, their journey of self-discovery is accomplished through transgression. The book analyzes how the subversion of phallogocentric narrative and scenarios entails the reenvisaging of relations between the genders and reconceptualization of female desire. 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...

The book is a part of growing literature on human embodiment and attempts to answer the question of the role of the body in the construction of identity in consumer culture. The book examines two related spheres: the centrality and marginality of cultural practices.

Litanic Verse III: Francia
ISBN: 9783631756225 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Despite the numerous famous examples of "les litanies" in French poetry, the manner in which the structures of this form of worship affect the versification strategies of poems has not previously been discussed thoroughly. Litanic verse, whose origins are as ancient as those of the litany genre, is recognized in works whose poetic diction, in whole or in part, includes the distinctive features of the litany, such as enumeration, parallelism, anaphora, and epiphora. The third volume describes the development of litanic verse from troubadour poetry and Old French religious verse up to World War...

ISBN: 9783631655580 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Motivated by a desire to reflect critically on the ways in which speeds, both high and low, and their representations affect the construction, deconstruction and reconstruction of meanings around particular cultural texts, images and practices, Resistance in the Deceleration Lane uses the velocentric perspective to examine the phenomenon of -slow living- and its rhetoric. The book analyzes cultural practices which are inspired by the conviction that the increased speed of everyday life cannot be accepted unquestioningly. It portrays slowness as a strategy of contestation and resistance...

Disciplining the New Pragmatism: Theory, Rhetoric, and the Ends of Literary Study
ISBN: 9783631559352 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Disciplining the New Pragmatism is both a tribute and a corrective to the neopragmatist perspective in American literary studies. It sets out to give a detailed account of the contemporary pragmatists views, but it also goes beyond those views to tender a new vision of the discipline of literary studies and to forge a new rhetoric, largely crafted out of tropes borrowed from their writings, which could be of service to literary scholars. Its primary objective is to argue that, despite their claims to the contrary, Richard Rorty, Walter Benn Michaels, Stanley Fish and the other...

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...

Embodying Pragmatism is the first monograph in English devoted to Richard Shusterman, an internationally renowned philosopher and one of today s most innovative thinkers in pragmatism and aesthetics. The book presents a comprehensive account of Shusterman s principal philosophical ideas concerning pragmatism, aesthetics, and literary theory (including such themes as interpretation, aesthetic experience, popular art, and human embodiment culminating in his proposal of a new discipline called -somaesthetics-).

ISBN: 9783631506776 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. A relationship between man and place has always attracted scientists, scholars, and artists attention. Succinctly subsumed in the concept of genius loci and implicated in the art of visual and linguistic description, topography of man s existence invited debates among such disciplines as geography, economy, ecology, history, and philosophy.

Occupying a very special position on the cultural and...

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...
