Focusing on works by Rene Crevel, Jean-Paul Sartre, Roland Barthes, and Herve Guibert, this text studies how homosexuality functions at the limits of narrative, as part of the deep structure of narrative, and at the border between public and private discourse. It examines each writer in turn, reflecting on how their texts represent homosexuality, both implicitly and explicitly, and how the public sphere of their writing relates to the private sphere of their personal lives. The final chapter examines the AIDS-related works of Herve Guibert, which are both a meditation on and an exploration of...

French Postmodern Masculinities: From Neuromatrices to Seropositivity
ISBN: 9781846312151 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) As traditional notions of masculinity have been put into question, there have been representational reactions to and articulations of changing masculinities in post-modern culture. Certain contemporary French cultural productions are illustrative of these changing masculinities and this book offers the first comprehensive examination of these manifestations. Acclaimed critic Lawrence Schehr uses analysis of AIDS narratives, mainstream films, popular novels, more mainstream novels, a graphic novel, and rightist polemics to explore the changing meaning of masculinity in French society. French...

Parts of an Andrology: On Representations of Men's Bodies
ISBN: 9780804729192 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The subject of this original and provocative work is the white male body, a counterpoint in gender studies to the many readings of the representation of the female body. To look at the construction of this figure, the author examines a group of discontinuous works that are representative of the discontinuity in the intermittent representation of the male body. Especially in nineteenth-century narrative, where Edgar Allan Poe and Guy de Maupassant write astutely on the subject, there is never continuity in representing the male body. "The Pit and the Pendulum" and Bel-Ami are...

Figures of Alterity: French Realism and Its Others
ISBN: 9780804743334 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This book focuses on the extension of realist writing toward alterity, toward otherness, in its ongoing efforts to enable individuals to speak and be heard correctly. Through a series of close readings of six authors from Balzac to Proust, the author shows the ways realist narrative engages the problem of bringing the other into the realm of the discursively representable. The acts of representation involved in that development were not necessarily coterminous with either the representation of the exotic and its attendant stereotypes or with the representation of individuals themselves. The...

French Gay Modernism
ISBN: 9780252029455 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.)

Departing from earlier, more muted presentations, Andr Gide, Marcel Proust, Jean Cocteau, Ren Crevel, Francis Carco, and a host of less-famous writers, all created overtly gay characters are gave them increasingly numerous and significant roles. Far from being simply shunned or marginalized, a number of these works were instead accepted as canonical. Lawrence Schehr's French Gay Modernism is the only study devoted to the analyzing these representations of...

Subversions of Verisimilitude: Reading Narrative from Balzac to Sartre
ISBN: 9780823231355 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Subversions of Verisimilitude focuses on the ways in which a number of French literary narratives written in the realist tradition show a dynamic balance between the desire of the author/narrator to present a verisimilar world and the need for aesthetic balance. While the works studied-narratives by Balzac, Flaubert, Zola, Colette, Proust, and Sartre-range over the course of a century, from 1835 to 1938, they share a perspective on the relations between and the need to engage questions of realist verisimilitude and narrative interest and aesthetics. The book discusses some of the subversive...

Rendering French Realism
ISBN: 9780804727877 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Realist novels are usually seen as verisimilar representations of the world, and even when that verisimilitude is critically examined (as it has been by Marxist and feminist critics), the criticism has referred to extra-literary matters, such as bourgeois ideology or defects in the portrayal of women. This book takes as its thesis that the point defining realism is the point at which the processes of representation break down, a sort of black hole of textuality, a rent in the tissue. The author argues that our notions of continuity, of readability, of representability, or our ideas about...
