Re-Thinking Character in the Theatre of the Absurd
ISBN: 9781527557871 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Using the character as a central element, this volume provides insights into the Theatre of the Absurd, highlighting its specific key characteristics.

Postmodern and Postcolonial Intersections
ISBN: 9781527556911 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume deals with two of the most vital and complex terms in the world today: post-modernism and post-colonialism. It explores the confluences and continuities between both movements in terms of their projects and their conceptions of such notions as history, subjectivity and representation. One way of comparing the postmodern and the postcolonial necessarily entails looking at their discourses and examining their attitudes toward the validity of earlier legitimating (master) narratives of Eurocentric imperialism. Equally important, the merit of such a comparison consists in shedding...

Repeating Words, Retelling Stories: Repetition, Variation, and Serial Significance in Literature
ISBN: 9781527573697 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Often in literary texts, repetition does not only serve the purpose of re-enforcing a concept, but rather, the creation of a new meaning. This may be engendered by contrast, gradation, and 'correction.' This book explores examples from Homer, where repetition is intertwined with the very fabric of Early Greek Poetry, Virgil, and Ovid. An appendix dedicated to irony shows how even this rhetorical figure can be considered a special case of negative repetition. The book also provides a review of recent literature on neuro-cognitive science, attesting to how repetition is unavoidably a staple...

From socially conscious adaptations of classic American literature to postmodern mythic remixes, and from queerly fragmented fairy tales to the postcolonial palimpsest, the adaptations addressed in this book fell, retell, and awaken the literary canon. They use the rhetorical tools of collaborative originality, intertextual queering, and perspective plurality to interrogate conventions and problematize norms.Collectively, this book argues for adaptations' intersectional cultural and conceptual...

Journeys through the Ideological Unconscious: Marx, Althusser and Juan Carlos Rodríguez
ISBN: 9781527584907 / Twarda / 285 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Juan Carlos Rodríguez, who studied under Althusser in Paris in the 1970s, advanced beyond the positions that the French Marxist mapped out. He did this by theorizing the existence of an ideological unconscious, to be set alongside its libidinal or Freudian counterpart. This book elucidates and elaborates upon the workings of this ideological unconscious through the close analysis of literary production in Spain, extending over the transition from feudalism to capitalism. It also explores the extent to which the ideological unconscious intertwines, historically, with the libidinal...
