Contemporary Latina/o Performing Arts of Moraga, Tropicana, Fusco, and Bustamante demonstrates the crucial significance of looking at theatrical performance for rethinking critical inquiry.

Garland shows how the self-affirmative maneuvers that these artists deploy reconceptualize the subject in literary theory."

The comedy in John Updike s most important works The Centaur; Rabbit, Run; Rabbit Redux; Rabbit Is Rich; Rabbit at Rest; and Rabbit Remembered defines a comic world and its morality. Although critics have failed to recognize the extent and the importance of Updike s comedy, his serious fiction does contain a good deal of farce, burlesque, and irony that, far from being peripheral or mere comic relief, depicts the absurd and contradictory nature of life. Within such a world, set in the everyday Pennsylvania of the second half of the twentieth century, human beings mature, or gain...

The Game as It Is Played comprises the best of Donald Pizer s essays on Theodore Dreiser. Pizer, one of Dreiser s principal critics over the past forty years, is especially concerned in establishing the distinctive nature and quality of Dreiser s naturalism in many of these essays. From one of Dreiser s earliest short stories to his acknowledged masterpiece, An American Tragedy, Pizer demonstrates that in Dreiser s hands naturalism is not the blunt instrument it is usually assumed to be but rather a powerful tool for the rendering of a complex view of the human condition. In...

Jane Smiley, Jonathan Franzen, Don Delillo: Narratives of Everyday Justice
ISBN: 9781433112942 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 263 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The novels of Jane Smiley, Jonathan Franzen, and Don DeLillo propose new readings of justice in contemporary American literature. Jason S. Polley argues that such distinctive writers as Smiley, Franzen, and DeLillo reconfigure what he calls -acts of justice- in various modalities and spaces. These authors re-conceptualize justice in their portrayals of peripheral groups, such as women, minorities, and outcasts. In lieu of fictionalizing justice in conventional courtrooms, these writers narratives make a virtue of representing the undetermined and everyday presence of justice. As a result,...

The Nation of Islam and Black Consciousness: The Works of Amiri Baraka, Sonia Sanchez, and Other Writers
ISBN: 9781433165306 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The Nation of Islam and Black Consciousness: The Works of Amiri Baraka, Sonia Sanchez, and Other Writers engages in the scholarly discussions about the origins and formation of the Black Arts Movement of the 1960s and 1970s, which rarely give credit to the role of the Nation of Islam's (NOI) teachings in the emergence of the movement and in shaping the subjects and themes of its literary works. This book reevaluates the common belief that Malcolm X is the most appealing black historical figure in the movement's literature and demonstrates how the NOI's perception of black consciousness shaped...

Forest Beatniks and Urban Thoreaus: Gary Snyder, Jack Kerouac, Lew Welch, and Michael McClure
ISBN: 9780820441597 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 170 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The Beat Movement, which first rose to attention in 1955, has often been viewed by critics as an urban phenomenon the product of a postwar-youth culture with roots in the cities of New York and San Francisco. This study examines another side of the Beat Movement: its strong desire for a reconnection with nature. Although each took a different path in attaining this goal, the writers considered here Gary Snyder, Jack Kerouac, Lew Welch, and Michael McClure sought a new and closer connection to the natural world. These four writers, along with many of their counterparts in the Beat era,...

Don Delillo: Balance at the Edge of Belief
ISBN: 9780820463513 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Don DeLillo winner of the National Book Award, the William Dean Howells Medal, and the Jerusalem Prize is one of the most important novelists of the late-twentieth and early-twenty-first centuries. While his work can be understood and taught as prescient and postmodern examples of millennial culture, this book argues that DeLillo s recent novels White Noise, Libra, Mao II, Underworld, and The Body Artist are more concerned with spiritual crisis. Although DeLillo s worlds are rife with rejection of belief and littered with faithfulness, estrangement, and desperation, his novels...

ISBN: 9780230616554 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 195 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book examines the genesis and development of haiku in Japan and traces its impact on modernist poetics. This study shows that the most pervasive East-West artistic, cultural, and literary exchange that has taken place in modern and postmodern times was in the reading and writing of haiku in the West. Hakutani roots Y.B Yeats symbolism in cross cultural visions; reveals Ezra Pound s imagism to have originated in haiku; and discusses some of the finest haiku written by Jack Kerouac, Richard Wright, Sonia Sanchez, and James Emanuel.
