A Dictionary of Cameroon English Usage
ISBN: 9783039110278 / Angielski / Miękka / 202 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book initiates the process of codification of a postcolonial variety of English, namely Cameroon English. It focuses on the present-day lexicon of this non-native variety of English. English has been in use in this territory for a long period of time and over the years, it has developed some characteristic lexical features which have not as yet been described fully. Previous researchers have been regarding linguistic innovations as cases of lexical errors or Cameroonisms; as a result, teachers and language purists have been discouraging their usage. Today, it is obvious that these...

Writing Back in/and Translation
ISBN: 9783631548318 / Angielski / Miękka / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In formal postcolonial jargon, writing back signifies an interplay where one cultural practice commonly called the Western is being modified, resisted or abandoned to give room for alternative modes of expression and creation. In its post-90 development towards the cultural turn, translation studies has conversely become occupied with ideological concerns. Who translates, and who / what is being (re-)translated? Where is the power? The metonymics of translation, the -wandering- process informing all cultural change, postulates the operation of different agencies (i.e., the writer as...

Folklore in British Literature; Naming and Narrating in Women's Fiction, 1750-1880
ISBN: 9780820463407 / Angielski / Twarda / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Folklore provides a metaphor for insecurity in British women s writing published between 1750 and 1880. When characters feel uneasy about separations between races, classes, or sexes, they speak of mermaids and -Cinderella- to make threatening women unreal and thus harmless. Because supernatural creatures change constantly, a name or story from folklore merely reinforces fears about empire, labor, and desire. To illustrate these fascinating rhetorical strategies, this book explores works by Sarah Fielding, Ann Radcliffe, Sydney Owenson, Charlotte Bronte, George Eliot, Anne Thackeray, and Jean...

Raymond Carver's Short Fiction in the History of Black Humor
ISBN: 9780820486208 / Angielski / Twarda / 142 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This first book-length study on the black humor in Raymond Carver s work includes valuable interpretations of Carver s aesthetics as well as the psycho-social implications of his short fiction. The presence of an indeterminate -menace- in the oppressive situations of black humor in Carver as compared to a European tradition of existentialist writing and his American predecessors including Twain, Heller, Barth and others is mitigated through humor so it is not dominant. As a result, a subtle promise emerges in the characters lives."

Emma Adapted: Jane Austen's Heroine from Book to Film
ISBN: 9781433100000 / Angielski / Twarda / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This work of literary and film criticism examines all eight filmed adaptations of Jane Austen s Emma produced between 1948 and 1996 as vastly different interpretations of the source novel. Instead of condemning the movies and television specials as being -not as good as the book, - Marc DiPaolo considers how each adaptation might be understood as a valid -reading- of Austen s text. For example, he demonstrates how the Gwyneth Paltrow film Emma is both a romance and a female coming-of-age story, the 1972 BBC miniseries dramatizes Emma s world as claustrophobic and Emma herself as...
