Quo Vadis America?: Conceptualizing Change in American Democracy
ISBN: 9783631614679 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. It is possible to identify at least three ways of conceptualizing change in American democracy. First, change is seen as a product of development. Here change is linear, it signifies progress. The second model sees change as coming from the reflection of the relationship between values and their institutional manifestations. It has a distinctly conservative character. The third approach sees change as an innovation, often a product of technological advancement. Each conceptualization of change stipulates a different set of problems which need to be addressed. The first functional approach is...

American Wild Zones: Space, Experience, Consciousness
ISBN: 9783631659588 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The contributors understand the wild zone as denoting the existence and experience of a group (ethnic, social, sub-cultural, sexual, religious, etc.) which is/was marginalized in American society. Reaching far beyond the boundaries of original agenda (Edwin Ardener s and Elaine Showalter s), the term s applicability has been significantly enlarged. Its fluidity or fuzziness, however, ought to be taken as a blessing: in the rapidly changing contemporary (-liquid-) world it is the language that needs to keep up with new circumstances and developments, not the other way round."

The Web of Sense: Patterns of Involution in Selected Works of Virginia Woolf and Vladimir Nabokov
ISBN: 9783631619551 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 247 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book is a comparative study of the early works of Vladimir Nabokov and the fictions of Virginia Woolf. The aim of this study was to establish the applications and implications of involution: how it is used to subtly reformat a text and how it changes the meaning of a work, trapping and reinventing the reader. The work analyses the transgressive use of imagery, symbols, patterns and other textual devices. Studying these -dangerous games- with authors and readers, the book observes involution at work in the very structure of the fictional world, shaping its time, space and matter."

Bicultural Bodies: A Study of South Asian American Women's Literature
ISBN: 9783631643709 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The body, which is a frequently explored topic in immigrant literature, has for some reason been rather neglected by literary scholars. This book attempts to address this imbalance by paying critical attention to representations of female sexuality and the female body in South Asian American women s fiction. The key premise of this study is that the prevalent popular and critical attitude to this body of literature as operating according to binary opposites (America-Asia, freedom-repression) is somewhat reductive. The book tries to probe deeper into the literary texts under study to show what...
