Cosmopolitan Fictions : Ethics, Politics, and Global Change in the Works of Kazuo Ishiguro, Michael Ondaatje, Jamaica Kincaid, and J. M. Coetzee
ISBN: 9780415975421 / Angielski / Twarda / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Noting the risk that the globalizing of literary studies "may simply reinforce the developments it is attempting to examine and assess," Giles Gunn insists that critics analyze not only how the cultural material we study has been produced by globalizing trends, but also how it has subjected those trends to scrutiny. It is this work that Worldwise undertakes. The fictions studied represent and revise the global histories of the past and present--including the "indigenous or native" narratives that are, in Homi Bhabha's words, "internal to" national identity itself. These works, taking as their...

Principles of Poetry
ISBN: 9781885445766 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This work comprises the first complete English translation of Shi no Genri, one of the most important attempts at a theory of literature written in the modern period. Hagiwara Sakutaro (1886-1942) was not only an original poet but also a perceptive and lonely literary critic. This book, in his own words, is not a collection of fragmentary writings, but a thoroughly systematic and organized discourse on poetry and other related arts. He sees the future of Japanese poetry as being tied to the characteristics of Japanese language, and even to the destiny of Japan.
