Language at the Boundaries: Philosophy, Literature, and the Poetics of Culture
ISBN: 9781501371882 / Angielski / Miękka / 2022 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Is poetry still relevant today, or is it merely a dwindling historical art? How have poets of the recent past dealt with challenges to poetics? Seeking to chart the poetic act in a period not so much hostile as indifferent to poetry, Language at the Boundaries outlines spaces where poetry and poetics emerge in migration, translation, world literature, canon formation, and the history of science and technology.

ISBN: 9781350163614 / Angielski / Miękka / 2020 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

ISBN: 9781107002524 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 446 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Russia's size, the diversity of its peoples and its unique geographical position straddling East and West have created a culture that is both inward and outward looking. Its history reflects the tension between very different approaches to what culture can and should be, and this tension shapes the vibrancy of its arts today. The highly successful first edition of Rzhevsky's Companion has been updated to include post-Soviet trends and new developments in the twenty-first century. It brings together leading authorities writing on Russian cultural identity, its Western and Asian connections,...

In this major new study of Henry James' classic text of cultural criticism, The American Scene, Beverly Haviland shows how James confronted the vexing problem of making sense of the past so that he could make culture work. In this record of his 1904-5 return to America and in his unfinished novels, The Sense of the Past and The Ivory Tower, he interpreted the social conflicts that seemed to be paralyzing relations between men and women, between black and white Americans, between "natives" and "aliens," between defenders of taste and censors of waste. Haviland's own method brings historical...
