The Cross-Dressed Caribbean: Writing, Politics, Sexualities
ISBN: 9780813935225 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Studies of sexuality in Caribbean culture are on the rise, focusing mainly on homosexuality and homophobia or on regional manifestations of normative and nonnormative sexualities. The Cross-Dressed Caribbean extends this exploration by using the trope of transvestism not only to analyze texts and contexts from anglophone, francophone, Spanish, Dutch, and diasporic Caribbean literature and film but also to highlight reinventions of sexuality and resistance to different forms of exploitation and oppression. Contributors: Roberto del Valle Alcala, University of Alcala...

On the Edge: Writing the Border Between Haiti and the Dominican Republic
ISBN: 9781781381601 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. On the Edge: Writing the Border between Haiti and the Dominican Republic is a literary and cultural history which brings to the fore a compelling but, so far, largely neglected body of work which has the politics of borderline-crossing as well as the poetics of borderland-dwelling on Hispaniola at its core. Over thirty fictional and non-fictional literary texts (novels, biographical narratives, memoirs, plays, poems, and travel writing), are given detailed attention alongside journalism, geo-political-historical accounts of the status quo on the island, and striking visual interventions...

Caribbean Perspectives on Modernity: Returning Medusa's Gaze
ISBN: 9780813928579 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Taking up the challenge of redefining modernity from a Caribbean perspective instead of assuming that the North Atlantic view of modernity is universal, Maria Cristina Fumagalli shows how the Caribbean's contributions to the modern world not only provide a more accurate account of the past but also have the potential to change the way in which we imagine the future. Fumagalli uses the myth of Medusa's gaze turning people into stone to describe the way North Atlantic modernity freezes its -others- into a state of perpetual backwardness that produces an ethnocentric narrative based on...

The Flight of the Vernacular: Seamus Heaney, Derek Walcott and the Impress of Dante
ISBN: 9789042014763 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 303 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this book, Dante, Seamus Heaney and Derek Walcott engage in an eloquent and meaningful conversation. Dante's capacity for being faithful to the collective historical experience and true to the recognitions of the emerging self, the permanent immediacy of his poetry, the healthy state of his language, which is so close to the object that the two are identified, and his adamant refusal to get lost in the wide and open sea of abstraction - all these are shown to have affected, and to continue to affect, Heaney's and Walcott's work. The Flight of the Vernacular, however, is not only a record...
