ISBN: 9783662667071 / Angielski / Miękka / 279 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The book demonstrates an evidence-based approach to online memory practices of World War II.

Christian Kracht‘s Aesthetics
ISBN: 9783476059574 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The contributions to this volume are devoted to Christian Kracht's aesthetics under two main aspects: On the one hand, with regard to sometimes irritatingly twisted actualizations of that self-reference and reservation which, since Kant, is to be evaluated as a central mode of the aesthetic; on the other hand, with regard to interferences with areas that are usually perceived as extra-aesthetic, but which can be evaluated as ferments of contemporary aesthetics: Stagings in the field of the literary establishment, the aesthetic under media and market conditions, and in the focus of...

Shakespeare, Tragedy and Menopause: The Anxious Womb
ISBN: 9783031272035 / Angielski / Twarda Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Shakespeare was not only aware of the socio-cultural fears and anxieties generated by the older woman’s body but with the characterization of his tragic ageing females, Shakespeare becomes the first literary giant to explore the physiological and psychosocial condition that we have come to know as ‘menopause’. Although ‘menopause’ was not defined as a medical, physiological or sociocultural event for the early moderns, this book argues that such a medical and cultural transition can, in fact, be identified by sub-textual clues distinguished by various embodied anxieties. It explores...

Gender, Affect, and Emotion from Classical to Early Modern Literature: Afterlives of the Nightingale’s Song
ISBN: 9783031277207 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Drawing both on historical accounts of the emotions and on contemporary affect theory, this book explores the intersection of social constructions of sex and gender with the development of norms for emotive speech in literary texts from the classical to the early modern periods. More specifically, the book argues that the influential Stoic theory of the prepassions (as distinct from the passions proper) resonates richly with recent work on affect, emphasizing in similar ways the role of embodied feelings that may exceed available linguistic norms as well as challenging gendered emotion...
