ISBN: 9781433109126 / Angielski / Twarda / 151 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Is the affiliation between intellectuals and hegemony unbreakable?

Cooptation, Complicity, and Representation engages in a discussion of the problem of this potentially unbreakable affiliation between intellectuals and hegemony. Through five twentieth-century Mexican literary works: Pedro Paramo (1955, Juan Rulfo); Hasta no verte Jesus mio (1969,...

Metaphors of Oppression in Lusophone Historical Drama
ISBN: 9780820461137 / Angielski / Twarda / 219 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Lusophone playwrights who wrote under repressive regimes and during politically chaotic times often depicted events in their nations histories that were oppressive in nature including the Inquisition, slavery, and colonialism. Using techniques derived from Bertolt Brecht, the playwrights intended to make their audiences reconsider not only the action taking place onstage, but also its relevance to the contemporary sociopolitical situation. This characteristic can be observed in Brazilian and Portuguese plays written during the 1960s and 1970s, as well as Angolan plays written in the 1980s....

By foregrounding the writing process the authors aim to reconstruct their professional identities as writers while narrating a story. The resulting...

This collection of essays looks at the most recent work of Juan Goytisolo from a variety of perspectives and critical stances. The contributors, all specialists in the work of the Spanish author, employ theories of intertextuality, postmodernist irony, queer ethics and even the esoteric science of Huru?sm to uncover the complexities of Goytisolo s creative practice, in particular his radical blurring of the generic boundaries between fiction, autobiography and literary criticism.

ISBN: 9783034300506 / Angielski / Miękka / 394 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Despite the numerous studies of the politics, economy, culture, and society of the Estado Novo, the relations established between publishers, authors, and governmental institutions and their contribution to the making of the literary canon are still marginal subjects of analysis.

The chapters on Jose Saramago and Jose Luis...

Cervantes on «Don Quixote»: Translation from Spanish by Clark Colahan- Foreword by Anthony Close
ISBN: 9783034303521 / Angielski / Miękka / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Commentary on Don Quixote is as universal as affirmations of the novel s importance, yet until now no study has examined what Cervantes said about it. In the prologue to the first half of the work (1605) the self-conscious author, in a tongue-in-cheek dialogue with the reader and an unconventional friend, makes a good number of comments on his own book. In the opening chapters of Part 2 (1615), the same sort of witty evaluation continues with remarks by Sancho Panza, Sanson Carrasco and Don Quixote in a lively and extended conversation focused on what has been said about Part 1 since...

Ideal for students of modern Latin American literature, Journeys of Formation: The Spanish American Bildungsroman offers a lucid introduction to the Bildungsroman as a genre before revealing how the journey motif works as both a plot-forming device and as a means of characterization in several of the most canonical Spanish American Bildungsromane. In the process, the author demonstrates the overlooked importance of the travel motif in this genre. Although present in the vast majority of Bildungsromane, if the journey is discussed at all by critics it tends to be...
