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? Does the question of Otherness still bear a meaning after the deconstruction of the self and the crumbling of the very concept of identity? The author examines some major twentieth-century poetic responses to the violent denial of otherness and difference in modern Europe. The myth of Medea is brought in to reflect upon the tragic history...

Nomadic Literature: Cees Nooteboom and His Writing
ISBN: 9783034307291 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 247 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Cees Nooteboom (born 1933) is a writer of fiction, poetry and travel literature. Translated into at least thirty-four languages, his work raises important questions about the mobility of literary texts and invites a new theoretical approach, for to read Nooteboom straightforwardly as a Dutch author would be to do him an injustice. In this book, his fiction and travel writing are discussed on the basis of his English oeuvre, while the chapter on his poetry moves between Dutch and English editions. The first part of the study reflects on texts crossing boundaries and the ways in which literary...

Subversion Ou Conformisme ?: La Différence Des Sexes Dans l'Oeuvre d'Agota Kristof
ISBN: 9783034317139 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Cet ouvrage propose une etude de la question du genre dans l uvre d Agota Kristof, ecrivaine suisse francophone d origine hongroise. La preponderance des narrateurs masculins dans sa prose suggere la superiorite du masculin; ceci se reflete aussi sur le plan du contenu de son uvre, car les personnages feminins sont plutot marginalises et relegues a la sphere domestique. Neanmoins, les themes de la violence contre les femmes, de leur folie et de la prostitution demontrent un souci de presenter leur condition dans la societe. Pour elucider cette contradiction, l analyse detaillee des textes...

After the key moments of the livre d artiste (from Manet/Mallarme to Picasso/Reverdy) and Surrealist art, how did the text/image relationship evolve in twentieth-century French culture?

Space: New Dimensions in French Studies
ISBN: 9783039101788 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 169 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book, which is the fruit of papers presented at the seventh Cambridge French Graduate Conference, offers innovative analyses of how space can provide metaphors for human thoughts, utterances and experiences. The authors cross-fertilise different approaches to the significance of space as a thematic and structuring principle in French and Francophone poetry, prose, philosophy and film. They are interested in three broad areas of enquiry: how spaces can be suffused with explorations of identity; how the dividing work done by maps marks and makes spaces; and how particular questions are...

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...

Marguerite Duras Ou l'Écriture Du Devenir

Cet ouvrage presente une etude de la problematique du temps dans les ecrits de Marguerite Duras. Souvent definie par la critique comme une ecriture de l instant, l ecriture durassienne a jusqu ici ete interpretee comme l expression d un desillusionnement politique et existentiel de l ecrivain. Ce travail s inscrit contre cette interpretation qui passe sous silence le drame qui anime l uvre, un drame ou se negocie le message de Duras face au tragique de l existence et de l Histoire. A travers l analyse detaillee de textes publies et de manuscrits de l ecrivain, cette etude fait interagir...

ISBN: 9783039113675 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 258 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The globalisation of culture and the shifting nature of national identities have propelled the stakes of memory and identity to the forefront of current intellectual debates.
