Out of Touch: Skin Tropes and Identities in Woolf, Ellison, Pynchon, and Acker
ISBN: 9780415940191 / Angielski / Twarda / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Out of Touch investigates how skin has become a crucial but disavowed figure in 20th century literature, theory and cultural criticism. These discourses reveal the extent to which skin likewise figures in the emergence of visual technologies positioned at the heart of the contest between surface depth and, by extension, between Western globalization and identity politics. Skin itself comes into explicit focus, though, only after a half-century of alternating circulation and suppression in American discourses about colour-blindness, during which time colonialism elsewhere had begun to lose its...

The Economy of the Short Story in British Periodicals of the 1890s
ISBN: 9780415977333 / Angielski / Twarda / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This materialist study of the short story's development in three diverse magazines reveals how, at the dawn of modernism, commercial pressures prompted modernist formal innovation in popular magazines, whilst anti-commercial opacity paradoxically formed the basis of an effective marketing strategy that appealed to elitism. Integrating methods of cultural studies with formal analyses, this study builds upon recent work challenging Andreas Huyssen's provocative formation, the "great divide" of modernism.
