ISBN: 9783110181135 / Angielski / Twarda / 403 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book seeks to move twentieth-century German literary history away from its stubbornly persistent reliance on the political turning-points of 1933 and 1945. In the first part of the book, the authors analyze a synchronic corpus of literary journals, identifying a restorative aesthetic mood in the years 1930-1960 which persists across political date boundaries. In the second part, the careers of five writers are considered diachronically against this prevailing restorative climate: Gottfried Benn, Johannes R. Becher, Bertolt Brecht, Gunter Eich, and Peter Huchel. Combining these two...

Spearing develops a new engagement of narrative theory with medieval English first-person writing, focusing on the roles and functions of the "I" as a shifting textual phenomenon, not to be defined either as autobiographical or as the label of a fictional speaker or narrator. Spearing identifies and explores a previously unrecognized category of medieval English poetry, calling it "autography." He describes this form as emerging in the mid-fourteenth century and consisting of extended nonlyrical writings in the first person, embracing prologues, authorial...

Ein zentrales Merkmal gegenwartiger Formen von Authentizitat besteht darin, dass die Wahrheit des Dargestellten durch die Wahrhaftigkeit der Darstellung ersetzt wird. Nicht mehr der Inhalt garantiert eine empirische, ontologische, asthetische oder moralische Qualitat, vielmehr muss durch eine kontextuelle Konstruktion oder eine Erzahlung die Zuschreibung des Merkmals 'authentisch' angeregt werden. Damit verschiebt sich auch das Erkenntnisinteresse: Wurde Authentizitat in der Forschung bisher uberwiegend als Aspekt der Asthetik diskutiert, ruckt nun die erzahlerische Dimension des Phanomens in...

The Naked Communist: Cold War Modernism and the Politics of Popular Culture
ISBN: 9780823245574 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Naked Communist argues that the political ideologies of modernity were fundamentally determined by four basic figures: the world, the enemy, the secret, and the catastrophe. While the "world" names the totality that functioned as the ultimate horizon of modern political imagination, the three other figures define the necessary limits of this totality by reflecting on the limits of representation. The book highlights the enduring presence of these figures in the modern imagination through detailed analysis of a concrete historical example: American anti-Communist politics of...

ISBN: 9781421405872 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the past ten years, theorists from Elaine Scarry to Roger Scruton have devoted renewed attention to the aesthetic of beauty. Part of their discussions claim that beauty--because it arises from a sense of proportion, symmetry, or reciprocity--provides a model for justice. Justice, Dissent, and the Sublime makes a significant departure from this mode of thinking. Mark Canuel argues that the emphasis on beauty unwittingly reinforces, in the name of justice, the constraints of uniformity and conventionality. He calls for a more flexible and inclusive connection between... In the past ten years, theorists from Elaine Scarry to Roger Scruton have devoted renewed attention to the aesthetic of beauty.
