Cartographies of Culture: Memory, Space, Representation
ISBN: 9783631609095 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Nowadays the issues of space and place pertain more than ever to the ongoing discussion about personal/regional/national identities. The worlds of private archives of memory often exist independently of political and administrative divisions, while dominant ideologies are often capable of re-defining national archives of memory through selective representation of the past. The way we remember our past and our heritage inscribes the space we live in: the places we remember and the places we wish to forget, the monuments we pull down and erect and the museums we build are only some of the...

A Sense of Apocalypse: Technology, Textuality, Identity
ISBN: 9783631648124 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 138 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Reaching into the depths of the collective unconscious, A Sense of Apocalypse explores and re-interprets one of the West s primordial fears, namely that of the apocalyptic closure of both cultural praxis and individual experience. Yet, in contrast to popular connotations of the term, apocalypse is viewed here in terms of a transitional narrative locating the subject at the intersection of technological determinism, pop-cultural imagination, postmodern urbanism and digital textuality. All these form the components of a new post-apocalyptic landscape, which not only produces a new...

Ideology, Aesthetics, Literary History: Socialist Realism and Its Others
ISBN: 9783631345269 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The book analyses - with reference to the Soviet socialist realism - the relations between the structure/semantics of the literary text and its ideological and political context. Focusing on works typical of the socialist realism as well as on its subversive exponents (including books by Kharms, Bulgakov, Ehrenburg, Prishvin) the author claims that the dominant aesthetics influenced not only the mainstream socialist-realist texts, but also shaped the ways in which the main doctrine was questioned and opposed.

The book, through textual analyses, brings concepts of Senghorian Negritude and Emersonian ideas into a cross-cultural dialogue, and thus opens up a completely new perspective in research on the history of ideas.

Transgressing Boundaries in Jeanette Winterson's Fiction
ISBN: 9783631589533 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The subsequent chapters of the book deal with selected questions from Jeanette Winterson s fiction, such as gender issues, love and eroticism, language and time, constituting areas within which Winterson s characters seek their identity. As they contest and repudiate cliches, stereotypes and patterns, their journey of self-discovery is accomplished through transgression. The book analyzes how the subversion of phallogocentric narrative and scenarios entails the reenvisaging of relations between the genders and reconceptualization of female desire. The author attempts to determine the...

Spoiling the Cannibals' Fun?: Cannibalism and Cannibalisation in Culture and Elsewhere
ISBN: 9783631544846 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Spoiling the Cannibals Fun? is not a volume about Captain Cook, unless one thinks the story of his having been eaten in the Polynesian tropics is not so much about the nourishing of the barbarians with a white man s flesh, as one which raises a number of questions relating to, broadly understood, cultural encounters in which some sort of cannibalisation is always at stake. For example, an encounter with the other is inevitably also an encounter of what Penelope Deutscher sees as -the cannibal or eating subject who is always already the other in us -, an encounter which questions -the...

Litanic Verse IV: Italia
ISBN: 9783631748053 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Litanic verse is based on different syntactic and rhetorical devices, such as enumeration, parallelism, anaphora, and epiphora. Its Italian variants are not to be seen as a mere convention of versification, but as a multifactorial phenomenon, which involves semantic and performative aspects as well. The variants reveal their different faces within various periods, beginning with the Duecento. This book analyzes Italian poetry up until the first decades of the twentieth century, together with certain musical pieces that are closely related to the history of literature. The monograph is the...

Disciplining the New Pragmatism: Theory, Rhetoric, and the Ends of Literary Study
ISBN: 9783631559352 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Disciplining the New Pragmatism is both a tribute and a corrective to the neopragmatist perspective in American literary studies. It sets out to give a detailed account of the contemporary pragmatists views, but it also goes beyond those views to tender a new vision of the discipline of literary studies and to forge a new rhetoric, largely crafted out of tropes borrowed from their writings, which could be of service to literary scholars. Its primary objective is to argue that, despite their claims to the contrary, Richard Rorty, Walter Benn Michaels, Stanley Fish and the other...

The Feminine of Difference: Gilles Deleuze, Hélène Cixous and Contemporary Critique of the Marquis de Sade
ISBN: 9783631394595 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 122 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The work follows the vicissitudes of the concept of difference in contemporary cultural discourse: a shift from the Platonic notion of difference as a pillar of separation to Gilles Deleuze s notion of pure difference as the ground for communication. Special attention is paid to the relevance of pure difference for gender studies, in particular, as a means of redefining the key relations of mind-body and man-woman. The shape the relations in question assume in patriarchal reality (and the consequent subjugation of the feminine) is presented indirectly, via contemporary readings of the...

Multicultural Dilemmas: Identity, Difference, Otherness
ISBN: 9783631567524 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Multiculturalism has recently become a word without which hardly any discussion of identity, nationality or historical and ideological narratives seems possible. However, the popularity of this word and its current usefulness should not obscure the fact that the concept itself is not an easy and obvious one: many apparently firm assumptions have been disputed from a multicultural perspective, while there are still a great number of social, cultural and political spheres which need to be re-defined and re-articulated as some dominant notions and symbols have been subverted by recognition of...

(Un)Saying the Other: Allegory and Irony in Emmanuel Levinas's Ethical Language
ISBN: 9783631526897 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 170 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The problem of signifying the other within the logocentric language occupies an important place in Emmanuel Levinas s ethics. (Un)Saying the Other examines the ways in which Levinasian discourse the discourse always already partaking of ontological injustice enables the ethical articulation of otherness. The author explores the unfolding of ethical expression both opened and troubled by the allegorical and ironic ruptures of the logocentric language. Reflecting on the philosophical complications incumbent in the potentially infinite process of interrupting the ontological language, the...

Resistance in the Deceleration Lane; Velocentrism, Slow Culture and Everyday Practice
ISBN: 9783631655580 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Motivated by a desire to reflect critically on the ways in which speeds, both high and low, and their representations affect the construction, deconstruction and reconstruction of meanings around particular cultural texts, images and practices, Resistance in the Deceleration Lane uses the velocentric perspective to examine the phenomenon of -slow living- and its rhetoric. The book analyzes cultural practices which are inspired by the conviction that the increased speed of everyday life cannot be accepted unquestioningly. It portrays slowness as a strategy of contestation and resistance...

Litanic Verse I: Origines, Iberia, Slavia Et Europa Media
ISBN: 9783631663509 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The book contains comparative analyses of the development of litanic verse in European poetry, from medieval to modern times. Litanic verse is based on different syntactic devices, such as enumeration, parallelism, anaphora and epiphora. However, it is not to be seen merely as a convention of versification as the popularity of different variants of the verse in Europe reflects the religious, intellectual, social and political history of various European regions. The essays in the first volume focus on the origins of the Litany (the Near East, Greece, Byzantium, Rome), as well as the...

Body, Letter, and Voice: Constructing Knowledge in Detective Fiction
ISBN: 9783631563830 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The author treats, in historical and philosophical terms, the contributions of the traditionally marginalized genre of detective fiction to epistemology: how detective fiction not only traces the progression of knowledge and its discovery, as has been the traditional model for understanding this genre, but, in fact, constructs it through narrative. Particular focus is on Colin Dexter, creator of the Inspector Morse character and series. This work also links detective fiction to more legitimate, accepted realms of literature and criticism: semiotics (the reading of clues, with the body as a...

Melancholic Travelers: Autonomy, Hybridity and the Maternal
ISBN: 9783631556276 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 158 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The book analyzes traveling post-colonial subjects in recent prose by women writers of South Asian origin, tracing the links between the tropes of femininity, silence, loss, and migration. Traveling is understood as an act of generating meaning out of movement, displacement and migration, while the position of traveling subjects is seen as that of a paradoxical liminality, yet carrying the insurgent potential of finding new modes of agency. The argument evolves from crossing boundaries of one s own body towards radical transgression of borders of identity. Before the traveler is able to...

The phenomena discussed include cosmetic surgery, Modern Primitivism, photographs by Matuschka and projects by French multimedia artist Orlan. The aim of the book is to postulate that in the present conditions of the fragmentation and disintegration of subjectivity, the body may be employed in a strategy of identification....
