Reading Food in Modern Japanese Literature
ISBN: 9780824832858 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Literature, like food, is, in Terry Eagleton's words, endlessly interpretable, and food, like literature, looks like an object but is actually a relationship. So how much do we, and should we, read into the way food is represented in literature? Reading Food explores this and other questions in an unusual and fascinating tour of twentieth-century Japanese literature. Tomoko Aoyama analyzes a wide range of diverse writings that focus on food, eating, and cooking and considers how factors such as industrialization, urbanization, nationalism, and gender construction have affected people's...

Style and Narrative in Translations: The Contribution of Futabatei Shimei
ISBN: 9781900650915 / Angielski / Twarda / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Futabatei Shimei (1864-1909) is widely regarded as the founder of the modern Japanese novel.

In this groundbreaking work, Hiroko Cockerill analyses the development of Futabatei's... Futabatei Shimei (1864-1909) is widely regarded as the founder of the modern Japanese novel.

The result...

The Alien Within: Representations of the Exotic in Twentieth-Century Japanese Literature
ISBN: 9780824832926 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Readers worldwide have long been drawn to the foreign, the exotic, and the alien, even before Freud's famous essay on the uncanny in 1919. Given Japan's many years of relative isolation, followed by its multicultural empire, these themes seem particularly ripe for exploration and exploitation by Japanese writers. Their literary adventures have taken them inside Japan as well as outside, and how they internalized the exotic through the adoption of modernist techniques and subject matter forms the primary subject of this book. The Alien Within is the first book-length thematic study... Readers worldwide have long been drawn to the foreign, the exotic, and the alien, even before Freud's famous essay on the uncanny in 1919.

This Perversion Called Love: Reading Tanizaki, Feminist Theory, and Freud
ISBN: 9780804762335 / Angielski / Twarda / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This Perversion Called Love positions one of Japan's most canonical and best translated 20th century authors at the center of contemporary debates in feminism.
