Aspects of Reference in Literary Theory: Poetics, Rhetoric and Literary History
ISBN: 9783631729397 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 166 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 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...

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. Revelations of Gloucester is a book which, including elements of all these areas of research, focuses on the variety of problems generated by the process of representing a place. Occupying a very special position on the cultural and...

Litanic Verse III: Francia
ISBN: 9783631756225 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 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...

Masks and Icons: Subjectivity in Post-Nietzschean Autobiography
ISBN: 9783631376737 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 138 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. With its large variety of forms and manifestations, autobiography is every theoretician s nightmare. Although ubiquitous few literary creations are truly anonymous it is also commonly believed to be disappearing into thin air. Leszek Drong argues for the reification of the concept of autobiography, but his argument does not play into the hands of those who favour neat generic classifications. Instead, in Masks and Icons, the autobiographical is construed as a figure of reading, an interpretive strategy which implicates the reader in a confrontation with her/his own subjectivity. Taking...

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...

A Sense of Apocalypse: Technology, Textuality, Identity
ISBN: 9783631648124 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 138 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 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...

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...

Ideology, Aesthetics, Literary History: Socialist Realism and Its Others
ISBN: 9783631345269 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The book analyses - with reference to the Soviet socialist realism - the relations between the structure/semantics of the literary text and its ideological and political context. Focusing on works typical of the socialist realism as well as on its subversive exponents (including books by Kharms, Bulgakov, Ehrenburg, Prishvin) the author claims that the dominant aesthetics influenced not only the mainstream socialist-realist texts, but also shaped the ways in which the main doctrine was questioned and opposed.

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...

ISBN: 9783631681251 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The book, through textual analyses, brings concepts of Senghorian Negritude and Emersonian ideas into a cross-cultural dialogue, and thus opens up a completely new perspective in research on the history of ideas. It synthesizes the diverse cultural, literary, philosophical and religious trends which have impacted on the complex and elusive fields of Transcendentalism and Negritude. Focusing on the current debate on influences and affinities in literary and cultural studies, the book shows that African religions and philosophy have influenced the formation of American...

Spoiling the Cannibals' Fun?: Cannibalism and Cannibalisation in Culture and Elsewhere
ISBN: 9783631544846 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Spoiling the Cannibals Fun? is not a volume about Captain Cook, unless one thinks the story of his having been eaten in the Polynesian tropics is not so much about the nourishing of the barbarians with a white man s flesh, as one which raises a number of questions relating to, broadly understood, cultural encounters in which some sort of cannibalisation is always at stake. For example, an encounter with the other is inevitably also an encounter of what Penelope Deutscher sees as -the cannibal or eating subject who is always already the other in us -, an encounter which questions -the...

Litanic Verse IV: Italia
ISBN: 9783631748053 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 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...

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...

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...

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...
