ISBN: 9783631727140 / Angielski / Twarda / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The discourse on Physiognomy had an important influence and impact on European theatrical culture at the end of the eighteenth and the beginning of the nineteenth centuries. The book discusses the debate about the scientific nature of Physiognomy.

Before the Trenches: A Mapping of Problems in Literary Interpretation
ISBN: 9783631739440 / Angielski / Twarda / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Throughout much of the 20th century, literary theory came to be considered the queen discipline of literary studies. It failed, though, to deliver the promises it carried from its onset as an academic field of inquiry and, came to be shrunk and side-lined in the last three or four decades. The author describes and discusses 20th century literary theory and its appeal to scientific methodology. His aim is to depict the intrinsic motives of its downfall. The book focuses on the appeal to scientific methods and epistemology, the status and nature of literary meaning and the role of authorial...

Modern Slavery and Water Spirituality: A Critical Debate in Africa and Latin America
ISBN: 9783631732014 / Angielski / Twarda / 261 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book contains close readings of contemporary literary texts and art work by Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking authors from Africa and Latin America. The readings reveal a critical debate that understands reflections on the slave trade and current migrations from Africa to Europe as continuity since early modern history. This part of cultural history is firmly rooted in the Black Atlantic, although the book's primary concern is a discussion of situations in which water spirituality functions as a backdrop. This critical inquiry of social inequality and injustice is based on a theoretical...

The Language of Polish Modernism
ISBN: 9783631653425 / Angielski / Twarda / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book debunks the myth of Polish Modernist literature as rooted in rash, immediate expression. The author compares programmatic statements on language by turn-of-the-century writers such as Waclaw Berent, Boleslaw Lesmian, Stanislaw Brzozowski or Karol Irzykowski with notions deduced from their literary works. He demonstrates that these writers' linguistic self-consciousness informs their implicitly self-reflexive texts and sheds light on their values and characteristic qualities. The author treats Modernist literature itself as a sort of "language" - a distinct entity that emerged...

Kulturbegegnung Und Kulturkonflikt Im (Post-)Kolonialen Kriminalroman
ISBN: 9783034329026 / Angielski / Miękka / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Kriminalliteratur bietet seit langerem ein Forum fur die Behandlung schon 'klassischer` postkolonialer Themen. So lassen sich die ProtagonistInnen vielfach als hybride Subjekte beschreiben, und die Suche nach 'historischer Wahrheit` bedarf einer anderen Substruktion als der einfachen Antithetik von Gut und Boese. Daruber hinaus sind die im Verschwinden begriffenen ehemals klar getrennten kolonialen Raume in postkolonialer Kriminalliteratur zwar solche des Kulturkonflikts; die 'liminalen` Raume, die Kontaktzonen, mutieren aber keineswegs ersatzweise zu idyllischen Orten: Vielmehr sind sie...
