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. This work is a sedulous enquiry into the intertextual practice of Maryse Conde in Moi, Tituba, sorciere noire de Salem (1986), Traversee de la mangrove (1989) and La Migration des c urs (1995), the texts of her uvre in which the practice is the most elaborate and discursively significant. 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...

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...

ISBN: 9783034322096 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This volume explores contemporary French women's writing through the prism of one of the defining moments of modern feminism: the writings of the 1970s that came to be known as "French feminism".

This is the first book-length study devoted to the work of Marie Darrieussecq, one of France s leading contemporary writers, whose work has proved fascinating to both critics and readers for its diversity, the author s seeming ability to evade established literary categories and the changes in focus of her trajectory.

Focusing on the mid-section...

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...

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...

Michel Houellebecq: Author of Our Times
ISBN: 9783039113736 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 219 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Michel Houellebecq is a French author whose profile in the English-speaking world is unusually high. He is an author who has put the humour back into the Absurd, without losing any of the awareness of the bleakness of the human condition. Undoubtedly one of the most trenchant satirists of our time, he deflates the projected utopias that we imagine protect us from the ills that beset us. More than many other novelists, his work is a reflection of the social and economic reality of life in a post-industrial society. Houellebecq shows a world of violence and tension, a world where people find it...

Historical and literary scholars have become increasingly interested in women s roles in and approaches to war. In times of conflict, French and francophone women have made crucial contributions in aid of the patrie, but wars have also set women against the governing powers, frequently forcing them to choose between their concerns as women, and the economic and social demands of their belligerent nations.

A la recherche du temps perdu s enracine dans le XIXe siecle et son ombre touffue tend a eclipser les premiers textes plus ou moins acheves qui ont nourri le roman de la maturite. Quel est le statut de ces uvres de jeunesse, Les Plaisirs et les jours et Jean Santeuil ? Le choix d un genre litteraire est crucial ainsi que l hesitation entre prose et poesie. Proust explore deja les ressorts de la comedie mondaine, l oscillation entre enfer et paradis dans une perspective initialement realiste. Le poids de l intertextualite est indeniable mais l heritage du XIXe siecle n...

Crossing Borders: The Interrelation of Fact and Fiction in Historical Works, Travel Tales, Autobiography and Reportage
ISBN: 9783034319959 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the twentieth century, the boundaries between different literary genres started to be questioned, raising a discussion about the various narrative modes of factual and fictional discourses.
Moving on from the limited traditional studies of genre definitions, this book argues that the borders between these two types of discourse depend on complex issues of epistemology, literary traditions and social and political constraints. This study attempts a systematic and specific analysis of how literary works, and in particular documentary ones, where the borders are more difficult to define,...

ISBN: 9783039105113 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This study examines three main aspects of Jorge Luis Borges s reading of Dante Alighieri, namely, poetic language, ethics and love. It attempts to reveal the ways in which Borges s interests in these issues manifested themselves in his appropriation of Dante and gained prominence within his work as a whole, paying particular attention to the years c.1920-c.1960. By developing each aspect in a comparative sequence the work illustrates the way in which these issues developed in Borges s work and, at the same time, provides a general perspective from which the reader can gauge their significance...

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...
