Love, Desire and Transcendence in French Literature: Deciphering Eros
ISBN: 9780754652694 / Angielski / Twarda / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. European literature and theory of the twentieth century has been intensely preoccupied with questions of 'Desire', whereas 'love' has increasingly represented a fractured and strange, if not actually suspect, proposal: this is a prime symptom of an age of deep cultural mutation and uncertainty. Paul Gifford's book allows this considerable contemporary phenomenon to be observed steadily and whole, with strategic understanding of its origins, nature and meaning. Gifford paints a clear and coherent picture of the evolution of erotic ideas and their imaginary and formal expressions in modern...

ISBN: 9783631457986 / Angielski / Miękka / 209 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Although they have yet to be treated together in a comparative study, Hugo von Hofmannsthal and Carl Sternheim had a number of points of convergence in their respective searches for a modern form for the serious comedy.

What emerges is a new view of the comedies of Hofmannsthal and Sternheim,...

ISBN: 9780691643991 / Angielski / Twarda / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The Autonomy of Pleasure: Libertines, License, and Sexual Revolution
ISBN: 9780231151580 / Angielski / Twarda / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What would happen if pleasure were made the organizing principle for social relations and sexual pleasure ruled over all? Radical French libertines experimented clandestinely with this idea during the Enlightenment. In explicit novels, dialogues, poems, and engravings, they wrenched pleasure free from religion and morality, from politics, aesthetics, anatomy, and finally reason itself, and imagined how such a world would be desirable, legitimate, rapturous--and potentially horrific. Laying out the logic and willful illogic of radical libertinage, this book ties the Enlightenment...

Cultural Melange in Aesthetic Practices
ISBN: 9788245017212 / Angielski / Miękka / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The process of globalization has left no corner of the world untouched. Although many studies use post-colonial theory to understand its large-scale effects, the contributors to this book show how such theory can be drawn on for productive use in other contexts, such as the Scandinavian. In doing so, they also rework the well-worn concept of "hybridity" to one of "cultural melange," creating a lens by which to take a broader view of the phenomenon: from Africa to Poland, from France to Norway, various forms of globalization processes have accelerated an interpenetration of cultures which...
