Nomadic Literature: Cees Nooteboom and His Writing
ISBN: 9783034307291 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 247 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 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...

Il manquait a la theorie critique un ouvrage d abord simple sur la valeur litteraire dans la pensee de Merleau-Ponty, qui puise dans son...

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.

This study traces the interrelated motifs of memory and identity in Djebar s novels, arguing the centrality of these themes to her literary project. An interdisciplinary theoretical framework positions Djebar s corpus in...

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 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...

Writing Shame and Desire: The Work of Annie Ernaux
ISBN: 9783039102754 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 315 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The mature narrator of Annie Ernaux s La Honte (1997) identifies her father s assault on her mother, in June 1952, as the founding event in her awareness of self and social place, a bedrock memory that represents the one remaining link between the child she was and the woman she has become. As an adolescent, the protagonist is sexually repressed and socially humiliated, incapable of communicating her shame. As a mature woman, the narrator gives a frank account of the childhood mortification that is stamped into her psyche, and (in the concluding lines of the text) flags a later...
