Latino Dreams: Transcultural Traffic and the U.S. National Imaginary
ISBN: 9789042008045 / Angielski / Miękka / 367 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. A welcome addition to the fields of Latino and (trans-)American cultural and literary studies, Latino Dreams focuses on a selection of Latino narratives, published between the mid-1980s and the mid-1990s, that may be said to traffic in the U.S.A.'s attendant myths and governing cultural logics. The selection includes novels by authors who have received little academic attention-Abraham Rodriguez, Achy Obejas, and Benjamin Alire Saenz-along with underattended texts from more renowned writers-Rosario Ferre, Coco Fusco, and Guillermo Gomez-Pena. Latino Dreams takes a transcultural approach in...

Joyce's Audiences
ISBN: 9789042011137 / Angielski / Twarda / 225 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book presents for the first time a collective examination of the issue of audience in relation to Joyce's work and the cultural moments of its reception. While many of the essays gathered in this volume are concerned with particular readers and readings of Joyce's work, they all, individually and generally, gesture at something broader than a specific act of reception. Joyce's Audiences is an important narrative of the cultural receptions of Joyce but it is also an exploration of the author's own fascination with audiences, reflecting a wider concern with reading and interpretation in...

Literature and Ethnicity in the Cultural Borderlands
ISBN: 9789042014992 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume stems from the idea that the notion of borders and borderlines as clear-cut frontiers separating not only political and geographical areas, but also cultural, linguistic and semiotic spaces, does not fully address the complexity of contemporary cultural encounters. Centering on a whole range of literary works from the United States and the Caribbean, the contributors suggest and discuss different theoretical and methodological grounds to address the literary production taking place across the lines in North American and Caribbean culture. The volume represents a pioneering attempt...

Henry James and the "Alien": In Possession of the American Scene
ISBN: 9789042012806 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Henry James and the "Aliens" intervenes substantially in current debates in James studies, most notably in the key areas of cultural studies, ethnic studies and queer studies. Focusing throughout on questions of identity, and most prominently on how the latter is given shape in the very form of the late style, the book finds that James's response to the ethnic other can be grasped neither as an attempt to police, supervise and master the other, nor as a politics of non-identical surrender to that other. Instead, there is a continuum of identity-akin to the "criminal continuity" that James...

Perception and Experience in Modernity
ISBN: 9789042012851 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The first volume of Benjamin Studies publishes the keynote lectures of the first Congress of the International Walter Benjamin Association, which took place in Amsterdam, July 1997. Its title bears witness to the most central concepts of Benjamin's philosophy of culture. Strongly influenced as he was by Kant, Benjamin never lost his inclination to analyse the components of reality as fashioned by ourselves. Because he was also a materialist, for him the modes of fashioning were shaped in turn by the times and places we occupy in history. As a consequence, Benjamin's theory assigns a pivotal...

Farce and Farcical Elements: In Conjunction with Leif Sondergaard
ISBN: 9789042014596 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Farcical elements were incorporated into non-comic drama ever since the theatre had been rediscovered in the Middle Ages. Already at a very early stage, comic scenes proved to be popular additions to liturgical music drama and, later, to religious plays in the vernacular. Some scholars believe that the genre of farce developed out of these farcical elements. The suggestion was made that farces, similar to the stuffing of meat or poultry, had been added to plays to increase audience involvement. Other researchers see quite different origins for the farce. The present volume does not aspire to...

Women and Modern Medicine
ISBN: 9789042008717 / Angielski / Twarda / 298 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Modernising scientific medicine emerged in the nineteenth century as an increasingly powerful agent of change in a context of complex social developments. Women's lives and expectations in particular underwent a transformation in the years after 1870 as education, employment opportunities and political involvement extended their personal and gender horizons. For women, medicine came to offer not just treatment in the event of illness but the possibilities of participation in medical practise, of shaping social policies and political understandings, and of altering the biological imperatives...

Stuart Women Playwrights, 1613-1713
ISBN: 9780754667131 / Angielski / Twarda / 158 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the field of seventeenth-century English drama, women participated not only as spectators or readers, but more and more as patronesses, as playwrights, and later on as actresses and even as managers. This study examines English women writers' tragedies and tragicomedies in the seventeenth century, specifically between 1613 and 1713, which represent the publication dates of the first original tragedy (Elizabeth Cary's The Tragedy of Mariam) and the last one (Anne Finch's Aristomenes) written by a Stuart woman playwright. Through this one-hundred year period, major changes in dramatic form...

Zu diesen Wortern gehort auch mauscheln, das heute umgangssprachlich nur noch in der Bedeutung 'heimlich Vorteile aushandeln', 'Geschafte machen' in Gebrauch ist.

Robert Browning's Rondures Brave
ISBN: 9780821411254 / Angielski / Twarda / 279 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Browning s Fra Lippo Lippi says that we may pass things a hundred times and never see them. One thing that Browning s readers have passed without seeing, or at least without remarking upon, is the circular conclusion in so many of his poems. Some sixty poems (almost a third of them) have such conclusions. These sixty span his entire career and include both well-known and neglected poems.
The circular conclusion is so called because it returns to the introduction -- circles back round to it -- by repeating something from the introduction. Although in principle this rhetorical device is... Browning s Fra Lippo Lippi says that we may pass things a hundred times and never see them.
