Loiterature
ISBN: 9780803263925 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The fabric of the western literary tradition is not always predictable. In one wayward strand, waywardness itself is at work, delay becomes almost predictable, triviality is auspicious, and failure is cheerfully admired. This is loiterature. Loiterature is the first book to identify this strand, to follow its path through major works and genres, and to evaluate its literary significance. By offering subtle resistance to the laws of "good social order," loiterly literature blurs the distinctions between innocent pleasure and harmless relaxation on the one hand, and not-so-innocent intent on...

An Atmospherics of the City: Baudelaire and the Poetics of Noise
ISBN: 9780823265848 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

Untimely Interventions : AIDS Writing, Testimonial and the Rhetoric of Haunting
ISBN: 9780472098712 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 456 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. As atrocity has become characteristic of modern history, testimonial writing has become a major twentieth-century genre. Untimely Interventions relates testimonial writing, or witnessing, to the cultural situation of aftermath, exploring ways in which a culture can be haunted by its own history.
Ross Chambers argues that culture produces itself as civilized by denying the forms of collective violence and other traumatic experience that it cannot control. In the context of such denial, personal accounts of collective disaster can function as a form of counter-denial. By investigating a range...
