Poverty in Canada
ISBN: 9780199003228 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. With income inequality a growing concern among many observers, it is no surprise that we have witnessed large-scale protests against a system that seems to exclude some groups and over-reward others. Poverty in Canada is on the rise, particularly among certain groups. The phenomenon of "globalization" is eliminating labour-intensive jobs and polarizing the job market into high-skill, high-paying jobs on one hand, and low-skill, low-paying jobs on the other. In these circumstances, the less-qualified, the disadvantaged, and the discriminated are unable to find decent jobs and too often become...

Irony's Edge: The Theory and Politics of Irony
ISBN: 9780415054522 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The edge of irony, says Linda Hutcheon, is always a social and political edge. Irony depends upon interpretation; it happens in the tricky, unpredictable space between expression and understanding. Irony's Edge is a fascinating, compulsively readable study of the myriad forms and the effects of irony. It sets out, for the first time, a sustained, clear analysis of the theory and the political contexts of irony, using a wide range of references from contemporary culture. Examples extend from Madonna to Wagner, from a clever quip in conversation to a contentious exhibition in a...

Narcissistic Narrative: The Metafictional Paradox
ISBN: 9781554585021 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Linda Hutcheon, in this original study, examines the modes, forms and techniques of narcissistic fiction, that is, fiction which includes within itself some sort of commentary on its own narrative and/or linguistic nature. Her analysis is further extended to discuss the implications of such a development for both the theory of the novel and reading theory. Having placed this phenomenon in its historical context Linda Hutcheon uses the insights of various reader-response theories to explore the "paradox" created by metafiction: the reader is, at the same time, co-creator of the...

Formalism and the Freudian Aesthetic: The Example of Charles Mauron
ISBN: 9780521027953 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This study has a double focus: in the first place, it seeks to chart the parallel re-evaluation of both formalism and psychology in twentieth-century literary theory by using the work and career of the French literary critic, Charles Mauron (1899 1966) as a scaffolding. Using a structure of biography and literary history, it investigates Mauron's rather odd position, both inside and outside two different critical contexts, the French and the English, a position that makes his work a particularly revealing reflection of the diverse critical trends and tensions of our age. The second focus of...

George Gissing and the Place of Realism
ISBN: 9781527569980 / Angielski / Twarda / 2021 / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This collection explores Gissing's place in the narrative of fin-de-siecle literature. Together, chapters here theorise how late-Victorian spatial and generic norms are confronted, explored and performed in Gissing's works.

It also recognises Gissing as a central proponent in the late-Victorian realism debate. The book, like today's nineteenth-century studies, is interdisciplinary. It includes...

The New American Midpoint Ephemeris 2006-2020
ISBN: 9780976242277 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. For astrologers who study midpoints, this new 15-year ephemeris will be a "must have." Rique Pottenger has revised and updated the programming of the late Neil F. Michelsen's prior versions to extend the years, now 2006 through 2020. Ceres, newly named to the same planetary status as Pluto, is included in all midpoint combinations. Midpoints often reflect events in very close timing, when single planet transits alone may not. This book allows quick scanning of transiting midpoint combinations-a highly significant time saver over the unwieldy alternative of having to calculate each...
