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...

Natives, Aborigines, Indigenous populations, and First Nations are all appellations that assert the legitimacy of various antecessors despite the subordinate position granted to them by colonial, postcolonial and neo-colonial theories. In a perpetual quest for agency, the native has been framed within a set of representational practices that claim for a redress of grievances.Cultural, mediatized and historical representations of the native tend to fall within the boundaries of either a bottom-up or a top-down view that fits within a structuralist paradigm that rarely questions the individual,...

Reading Henry James in the Twenty-First Century: Heritage and Transmission
ISBN: 9781527570085 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. 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 resulting chapters of this volume are divided into three main sections, each focusing on different ways in which James's legacy is being re-evaluated today-from his influence on key authors, playwrights...

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.

Spatial Readings and Linguistic Landscapes
ISBN: 9781527581920 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Talking about space in literature and linguistics is a major challenge, not only for experts in the field of the humanities, but also for the broader public, searching for orientation clues on the vast book market. This volume offers a selection of studies which, even though reliant on shared instruments, apply these to different geographical spaces, uniting along an imaginary axis the East and the West, advancing challenging, serious and innovative analyses of prose, dramatic and film texts, belonging to literatures from various countries, but also references to the phenomenon of migration...

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...

Translation für die Nation
ISBN: 9783828848023 / Miękka / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Nino Osepashvili beschreibt mittels einer interdisziplinären Herangehensweise, wie die literarisch-translatorischen Prozesse in Georgien im frühen 20. Jahrhundert zur Ausprägung einer nationalen Identität beitrugen. Durch die Verknüpfung translationswissenschaftlicher, sozialwissenschaftlicher und historisch-politischer Ansätze zeigt die Autorin auf, welche Spuren die "Grenzlage" zwischen Europa und Asien in der georgischen Literatur hinterlassen hat. Die Translationsprozesse untersucht sie dabei sowohl aus der Mikro- als auch Makroperspektive: Mithilfe der Polysystemtheorie analysiert...
