Studying British Cinema: 1990s
ISBN: 9781906733032 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The 1990s were years of contradiction for British cinema. On the one hand, the exhibition and production of British films bounced back from the dark days of the early 1980s, in which cinema attendance and filmmaking slumped to an all-time low. On the other hand, foreign investment now played a major role in supporting the industry, with companies erecting cinema multiplexs and, particularly in the case of American investment, pouring money into big budget British productions. While this kept studios, technicians, directors, and actors busy, none of the profits from these films made it back to...

The Novel and Theatrical Imagination in Early Modern China
ISBN: 9789004191662 / Angielski / Twarda / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The cultural fascination with and imagination of theater has long been overlooked as an important historical and literary context for reading Water Margin and Journey to the West. This study focuses on the concept of "the theatrical" to read those novels and their commentaries. Imbued with performances, playacting, spectacles, and spectatorship, the early modern theatrical novel borrowed heavily from theater to conflate the theatrical and the real, juggle theatrical roles, persons, and identities, and contest orthodoxies by challenging and appropriating sites of control and...

The Golden Year of Fan Cheng-Ta: A Chinese Rural Sequence Rendered Into English Verse
ISBN: 9781107679238 / Chiński / Miękka / 46 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Eight centuries divide us from Fan Cheng-ta, but across this gap of time his voice may still be heard - suave, familiar, peaceable - in a cycle of small poems which, reflecting the Chinese rural year, seem as fresh today as when they first came from his brush. The task of rendering the quality of Chinese poetry into English is temptingly difficult; and success in such an enterprise is rare and rewarding. How it came to be attempted by an English poet with the help of a Chinese scholar is told briefly in Mr Bullett's preface. The current edition is a re-issue of Mr Bullett's 1946 text.

Metaphorical Circuit: Negotiations Between Literature and Science in 20th-Century Japan
ISBN: 9781885445193 / Angielski / Miękka / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Metaphorical Circuit argues that the division of knowledge between literature and science in the modern university produced a necessity to choose that became a central, animating tension for Japanese intellectuals in the early 20th century. Each chapter begins with a point in an author's work where mathematical representation becomes an issue in negotiating the boundary, and follows the analysis to a wall, or a point of indeterminacy, that leaves the author again with a heterogeneous field. The book offers substantial, original readings of a series of major figures such as Natsume Soseki,...

Sacred Rites in Moonlight: Ben No Naishi Nikki
ISBN: 9781885445223 / Angielski / Miękka / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ben no Naishi (1228-1270), a descendant of a literary branch of the Fujiwara family, created an innovative poetic account focusing on her public personae as a naishi serving at the court of Go-Fukakusa (r. 1246-1259). Traditional scholarship regards Ben no Naishi Nikki as a naive record of court minutiae written without any literary purpose, but Ben no Naishi's text is constructed consciously by her devotion to sacred and secular duties as naishi (female courtiers), who as guardians of the royal regalia--the Mirror, the Sword, and the Jewels--played vital roles in rites that legitimized and...

Vision of a Phoenix: The Poems of Ho Nansorhon
ISBN: 9781885445179 / Angielski / Miękka / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The biography and writings of Ho Nansorhon (1563-1589), one of the finest poets of the entire Choson dynasty, who wrote during the Golden Age of Sino-Korean poetry. This period also witnessed the Confucianization of Korean society, when government-imposed sanctions greatly restricted the lives of Korean women, particularly those of the ruling class (yangban) to which Nansorhon belonged. Disillusioned by Confucian values, she drew inspiration from Taoism and humanism. Taoist belief in transcendent immortals (son), is a strong influence in her work. Inspired by a fantasy of shedding worldly...
