Intertextual Weaving in the Work of Linda Lê: Imagining the Ideal Reader
ISBN: 9781498514866 / Angielski / Twarda / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Intertextual Weaving in the Work of Linda Le Imagining the Ideal Reader uncovers the primary textual relationship that Linda Le (1963- ), the most prolific Francophone author of the Vietnamese diaspora, fosters with a literary precursor of Austrian descent: the feminist writer-in-exile, Ingeborg Bachmann (1926-1973). This study offers an overdue exploration of the notably European roots of Le's writerly formation. It traces an unexamined feminist import in her work to a sixteen-year inter- and intra-textual engagement with Bachmann and positions the latter as an imagined ideal reader of Le's...

Subversions of the American Century: Filipino Literature in Spanish and the Transpacific Transformation of the United States
ISBN: 9780472072934 / Angielski / Twarda / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The Philippines, which the United States seized at that point from Spain and local revolutionaries, is therefore the birthplace of a new kind of America, one with a planetary reach that was, most profoundly, accompanied by resistance to that reach by local peoples.

Between Love and Freedom: The Revolutionary in the Hindi Novel
ISBN: 9781138664050 / Angielski / Miękka / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Between Love and Freedom interprets the figure of the revolutionary in the Hindi novel by establishing its lineage in representative Bengali novels, as well as in the contending moralities of Mahatma Gandhi and Bhagat Singh on the idea of violence.

This work will deeply interest scholars... Between Love and Freedom interprets the figure of the revolutionary in the Hindi novel by establishing its lineage in representative Benga... |

Remapping the Indian Postcolonial Canon: Remap, Reimagine and Retranslate
ISBN: 9781137537973 / Angielski / Twarda / 201 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book critically examines the postcolonial canon, questioning both the disproportionate attention to texts written in English and their overuse in attempts to understand the postcolonial condition. The author addresses the non-representation of Indian literature in theory, and the inadequacy of generalizing postcolonial experiences and subjectivities based on literature produced in one language (English). It argues that, while postcolonial scholarship has successfully challenged Eurocentrism, it is now time to extend the dimensions beyond Anglophone and Francophone literatures to include...

Dialectics of Spontaneity: The Aesthetics and Ethics of Su Shi (1037-1101) in Poetry
ISBN: 9789004298491 / Angielski / Twarda / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Dialectics of Spontaneity, Zhiyi Yang examines Su Shi's poetry on art and connoisseurship, his emulation of Tao Qian in exile poetry, and his inner alchemical practice. She argues that the concept of absolute spontaneity is defined negatively, and artistic and ethical spontaneity which can be actualized must be provisional and conditioned. This book argues that Su Shi's lyrical persona of a 'spontaneous genius' is a construction that serves various rhetorical and existential purposes. Making use of Su's prolific works and referring to a broad scope of Western philosophy, this book...

Imperial Women Writers in Victorian India: Representing Colonial Life, 1850-1910
ISBN: 9783319331942 / Angielski / Twarda / 203 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book is about Victorian women's representations of colonial life in India. These accounts contributed to imperial rule by exemplifying an idealized middle-class femininity and attesting to the Anglicisation of the subcontinent. Writers described familiarly feminine modes of experience, focusing on the domestic environment, household management, the family, hobbies and pastimes, romance and courtship and their busy social lives. However, this book reveals the extent to which their lives in India bore little resemblance to their lives in Britain and suggests that the acclaimed...
