Postmodern and Postcolonial Intersections
ISBN: 9781527556911 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume deals with two of the most vital and complex terms in the world today: post-modernism and post-colonialism. It explores the confluences and continuities between both movements in terms of their projects and their conceptions of such notions as history, subjectivity and representation. One way of comparing the postmodern and the postcolonial necessarily entails looking at their discourses and examining their attitudes toward the validity of earlier legitimating (master) narratives of Eurocentric imperialism. Equally important, the merit of such a comparison consists in shedding...

The Demon of Noontide: Ennui in Western Literature
ISBN: 9780691100470 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Kierkegaard claimed that the gods created man because they were bored, and Baudelaire predicted that the "delicate monster" of boredom would one day swallow up the whole world in an immense yawn. Between these two statements lies the undefined expanse of ennui, whose manifestations in European literature form the fascinating subject of this book. Reinhard Kuhn's aim is to define the demon of noontide, to learn how writers through the ages have treated it, and to discover what it indicates about the nature of the creative act. Originally published in 1976. The Princeton Legacy Library...

To commemorate the recent centennial of Henry James's death and to help readers understand the depth and scope of the author's influence both today and during the previous century, thirty leading Jamesian scholars from twelve different countries and five continents were asked to explore ways in which the notions of 'heritage' and 'transmission' currently come into play when reading James.

The Cultural and Historical Heritage of Colonialism: Interrogating the Postcolony
ISBN: 9781527580824 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the time since most African countries achieved independence from European colonial powers, it is unfortunate that these nations are still politically, economically, and culturally reordered by their former colonisers. This book argues that these nations often slavishly emulate Western values to the detriment of indigenous ones. It challenges the postcolony to ground itself in local experience and then nativise external values, which entails delicately sifting through both the domestic and foreign worlds to build a decent and humane society.

J. M. Coetzee and the African Condition
ISBN: 9781527582880 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. J. M. Coetzee and the African Condition adds a unique insight to the wealth of Coetzean scholarship regarding literature and apartheid. It presents a lucid and intelligent account of the South African phase of Coetzee's career in which he provides an inside view of the depth and dimensions of apartheid madness. The book suggests that the insanity of apartheid, in Coetzee's fictional representation and his nonfictional writings, lies in the social deformation springing from the pathological attachments it encourages. It also brings Coetzee's nonfictional thought into the discussion of his...
