Lingua Barbara or the Mystery of the Other: Otherness and Exteriority in Modern European Poetry
ISBN: 9783039100576 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book explores the multifaceted concepts of otherness, barbarism and exteriority. Is encountering the Other still possible in a world in which we all have become rootless, disconnected and strangers, alienated from the outside world and from ourselves?

The myth of Medea is brought in to reflect upon the tragic history...

Postcolonial Echoes and Evocations: The Intertextual Appeal of Maryse Condé
ISBN: 9783039105786 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 329 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych.

Arguing that no satisfactory reading of these novels is possible without due intertextual reference and interpretation, the author analyses salient intertexts which flesh out and, in the case of Traversee de la mangrove, shed considerable new light on meaning and authorial...

Viva Pinter: Harold Pinter's Spirit of Resistance
ISBN: 9783039119295 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. In his Nobel speech, entitled Art, Truth and Politics, Harold Pinter explained how he was fighting against the -tapestry of lies-.

In March 2007, the University of Lyon (Jean Moulin) and the ENS LSH organised VIVA PINTER, a tribute to his work centred on a key notion for the city of Lyon, the Spirit of Resistance. Pinter combined a concise, fragmented and syllogistic style with a keen perception of the metaphors of our time. The most specific instrument of this...

This book analyses comprehensively the complex linguistic situation in Canada focusing particularly on the position of the French language at both national and provincial levels.

Individual chapters discuss...

Ce livre se consacre a l uvre de Marie-Claire Bancquart, poete, romanciere, essayiste et critique. Habiter le monde en conscience, en y effleurant des joies, en y devinant des survies dans l immanence, sans rien ignorer de ses violences, habiter - avec la mort, quartier d orange entre les dents -, telle est la tache que se fixe Bancquart dans sa poesie. - Braille du vivant -, la langue du poeme doit permettre, avec simplicite, exigence, tendresse, d interroger l enigme des choses, entre presence et fragilite, parole et suspens.

The Speaking Divine Woman: López de Úbeda's La Pícara Justina and Goethe's Wilhelm Meister
ISBN: 9783906766911 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 294 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Drawing on the Spanish Kabbalah s account of the divine speaking Woman, analysed in terms derived from contemporary feminist stylistics especially the speculative-cum-theological variety associated with Luce Irigaray s work this study examines the problem of female self-presentation in two novels from quite different cultural periods and national literary contexts. The study concludes that the two works participate in the long history of kabbalistic-hermetic reflexion on the nature and status of the Divine Feminine and its expression in language. The deft deployment of current French feminist...

This multidisciplinary edited volume examines wide-ranging exchanges between France and its Mediterranean neighbours and their impact.

Masking Strategies: Unwrapping the French Paratext
ISBN: 9783034307468 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Gerard Genette s seminal study of the paratext, Seuils (1987), is the starting point for this collection of essays, all of which seek not only to engage with Genette s taxonomy and apply it, but also to interrogate it and to move through and beyond it. In addition to mapping Genette s organization of (para)textual space onto a number of French texts, including novels and plays, texts translated into French, book series and publishing marketing material, these essays take up some of the challenges raised in Seuils as well as posing their own. For example, the relationship between...

Poetics of the Antilles: Poetry, History and Philosophy in the Writings of Perse, Césaire, Fanon and Glissant
ISBN: 9783034308953 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 374 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The essays collected in this volume study the poetry and thought of four major Francophone Caribbean writers: Saint-John Perse, Aime Cesaire, Frantz Fanon and Edouard Glissant. In a context where identity was a question, an original conception of subjectivity appeared, as the end point rather than the origin of a process which was inseparably poetic and political. It entailed an aesthetics of dispersion or errance, rather than belonging. This volume thus questions the traditional teleological narrative of negritude as 'renaissance' or 'awakening'. A careful look at the birth of...

Ce livre est une edition francaise repensee et mise a jour de The Dead and the Quick: Cliches and Neologisms in the Written, Spoken and Visual Cultures of Britain, the United States and France (1989, 2e edition 2010).
Walter Redfern considere le langage comme alternativement reactionnaire et revolutionnaire. Les mots sont complices dans le cramponnement humain aux realites perimees, et toutefois le langage ne cesse d evoluer par des processus de deplacement et de remplacement. En sus de la nature apparemment statique des cliches, cette etude se concentre donc sur le potentiel...
