American Political Fictions: War on Errorism in Contemporary American Literature, Culture, and Politics
ISBN: 9781137518880 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

It critically, not to say skeptically, sieves out historical facts from a sea of partisan and bipartisan disinformation in order to forge a more accurate picture of contemporary American culture and, through it, of America itself. In the process, it elucidates the ideological underpinnings, cultural manifestations,...

From Literature to Biterature is based on the premise that in the foreseeable future computers will become capable of creating works of literature. Among hundreds of other questions, it considers: Under which conditions would machines become capable of creative writing? Given that computer evolution will exceed the pace of natural evolution a million-fold, what will such a state of affairs entail in terms of art, culture, social life, and even nonhuman rights? Drawing a map of impending literary, cultural, social, and technological revolutions, Peter Swirski boldly assumes that computers will...

From Lowbrow to Nobrow
ISBN: 9780773530195 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Swirski begins with a series of groundbreaking questions about the nature of popular fiction, vindicating it as an artform that expresses and reflects the aesthetic and social values of its readers. He follows his insightful introduction to the socio-aesthetics of genre literature with a synthesis of the century long debate on the merits of popular fiction and a study of genre informed by analytic aesthetics and game theory. Swirski then turns to three "nobrow" novels that have been largely ignored by critics. Examining the aesthetics of "artertainment" in Karel Capek's War with the Newts,...

ISBN: 9783319301075 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Peter Swirski looks at American crime fiction as an artform that expresses and reflects the social and aesthetic values of its authors and readers. As such he documents the manifold ways in which such authorship and readership are a matter of informed literary choice and not of cultural brainwashing or declining literary standards. Asking, in effect, a series of questions about the nature of genre fiction as art, successive chapters look at American crime writers whose careers throw light on the hazards and rewards of nobrow traffic between popular forms and highbrow aesthetics: Dashiell...

ISBN: 9780415891929 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The United States today is afflicted with political alienation, militarized violence, institutionalized poverty, and social agony.
