The Eloquence of Ghosts
ISBN: 9781803741994 / Angielski / Miękka / 2023 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Giorgio Manganelli (1922-1990), one of Italy's most radical and original writers, went further than most in exploring the creative possibilities of hybrid genres and open forms. Ostentation, theatricality, and a love of drapery and verbal excess are defining features of his body of work, which ranges from prose fiction, literary criticism, and drama to travel writing, treatises, commentaries, and imaginary interviews.
This study examines the wealth of Manganelli's imagination - his grotesque animals, speaking corpses, and melancholy spectres - and argues that his spectacular eloquence was...

ISBN: 9783034308076 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 319 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Why do revivals and adaptations of Greek tragedy still abound in European national theatres, fringe stages and international festivals in the twenty-first century? Taking as its starting point the concepts of myth developed by Jean-Luc Nancy and Roland Barthes and the notion of the classical outlined by Salvatore Settis, this book analyses discourses around community, democracy, origin and Western identity in stage adaptations of Greek tragedy on contemporary European stages. The author addresses the ways in which the theatre produces and perpetuates the myth of classical Greece as the origin...

The Good Place: Comparative Perspectives on Utopia - Proceedings of Synapsis: European School of Comparative Studies XI
ISBN: 9783034318198 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Utopian literature provides a compelling vision of epistemological and moral clarity: a dream of harmony and justice. But in an age of surveillance, utopia is also the nightmare of a perfectly controlled, sealed and monitored world that leaves no room for ambivalence or discretion. In The Good Place, leading scholars of comparative literature explore this tension and examine the richness and diversity of utopian writing, from the genre s earliest manifestations to the present. Utopia is seen as a tenacious force of the human imagination: a desire for renewal that manifests itself in...

Comparative Becomings: Studies in Transition
ISBN: 9783034318112 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The comparative gesture performs both the act and the question of transition between the terms compared. Understood as an intercultural practice, comparative literature may thus also be understood as both a transitive and a transnational process, creating its own object and form of knowledge as it identifies and analyses lines of relation and exchange between literary cultures. When navigating between languages, the discipline becomes critically engaged with the possibility and methods of such navigation. Interdisciplinary and intermedial versions of comparative studies likewise centre... The comparative gesture performs both the act and the question of transition between the terms compared.

Politics of Cross-Cultural Reading: Tagore, Ben Jelloun and Fo in English
ISBN: 9783034318815 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The last two decades have witnessed an upsurge in scholarship on world literature. In most of this work world literature is understood as a concept in intellectual history, as a cultural system or as a curriculum to be taught. Grounded in three empirical case studies, this book complements such approaches by asking what world literature in English is or has been and what role authoritative readers (translators, editors, publishers, academics and literary critics) play in constituting it as a field for others.
The ambivalent position of English as a roadblock to international visibility... The last two decades have witnessed an upsurge in scholarship on world literature. In most of this work world literature is understood as a concept in...
