Terrorism, Media, and the Ethics of Fiction
Transatlantic Perspectives on Don Delillo

In his novel Mao II, Don DeLillo lets his protagonist say, ''Years ago I used to think it was possible for a novelist to alter the inner life of the culture. Now bomb-makers and gunmen have taken that territory. They make raids on human consciousness.'' DeLillo suggests that while the collective imagination of the past was guided by the creative order of narrative fictions, our contemporary fantasies and anxieties are directed by the endless narratives of war and terror relayed by the mass media. To take DeLillo''s literary reflections on media, terrorism, and literature seriously means to engage with the ethical implications of his media critique.This book departs from existing works on DeLillo not only through its focus on the function of literature as public discourse in culture, but also in its decidedly transatlantic perspective. Bringing together prominent DeLillo scholars in Europe and in the US, it is the first critical book on DeLillo to position his work in a transatlantic context.

Del 1 - Law & Literature
Rhetoric and Evidence
Legal Conflict and Literary Representation in U.S. American Culture
AvPeter Schneck

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
The book traces the changing relation and intense debates between law and literature in U.S. American culture, using examples from the 18th to the 20th century (including novels by Charles Brockden Brown, James Fenimore Cooper, Harper Lee, and William Gaddis). Since the early American republic, the critical representation of legal matters in literary fictions and cultural narratives about the law served an important function for the cultural imagination and legitimation of law and justice in the United States. One of the most essential questions that literary representations of the law are concerned with, the study argues, is the unstable relation between language and truth, or, more specifically, between rhetoric and evidence. In examining the truth claims of legal language and rhetoric and the evidentiary procedures and protocols which are meant to stabilize these claims, literary fictions about the law aim to provide an alternative public discourse that translates the law's abstractions into exemplary stories of individual experience. Yet while literature may thus strive to institute itself as an ethical counter narrative to the law, in order to become, in Shelley’s famous phrase “the legislator of the world”, it has to face the instability of its own relation to truth. The critical investigation of legal rhetoric in literary fiction thus also and inevitably entails a negotiation of the intrinsic value of literary evidence.

Conditions of Freedom
The Insistence on Form in Law and Literature
AvLaura Zander,Peter Schneck
Inbunden, Engelska, 2026
1 645 kr
Kommande
Law and literature are both essentially structured by forms, yet the relation between form and freedom is habitually framed as a binary between constraint and emancipation. Although debates on legal formalism, normativity, and aesthetic autonomy abound in the respective fields, a sustained interdisciplinary account of form as a constitutive condition of freedom remains underdeveloped. This volume intervenes by examining how legal and literary forms organize recognition, authority, personhood, gender, space, and responsibility across shifting historical contexts.Drawing on legal theory, literary studies, and critical humanities, the contributions range from early modern drama and modernist poetics to abolitionist thought, enclosure, refugee narratives, and contemporary autofiction. Reconceiving formalism as a dynamic and contested field in which freedom is produced, negotiated, and precariously sustained, the collection offers new theoretical perspectives for scholars in law and literature, legal theory, cultural studies, and the critical humanities.

Cognitive Conrad
Consciousness, Trauma, and the Rage for Order
AvRichard Ruppel,Alexander Bergsm. fl.
Inbunden, Engelska, 2026
1 153 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Uncovers how Joseph Conrad's narratives reflect the cognitive studies of his day but also anticipate our own contemporary understandings of consciousness, trauma, and the human need for order. Cognitive Conrad demonstrates the interpretive power of cognitive literary studies and historicism in the most important works of Joseph Conrad. It highlights how Conrad's fiction reflects the complexities of human consciousness, trauma, and the relentless human drive to impose a coherent form on a world that, ultimately, lacks any dependable order independent of individual, human constructions. Through a detailed examination of Conrad's characters and their psychological landscapes – in a wide range of fiction, such as Lord Jim, Under Western Eyes, and various short stories – Richard J. Ruppel reveals how the novelist anticipated modern cognitive theories and the science of trauma. He also discusses the profound connections between Conrad's fiction and the work of 19th-century scientists like Hermann Helmholtz, who influenced Conrad's portrayal of perception and consciousness. Cognitive Conrad asserts the power of the arts and humanities to supplement and correct the sciences, which most often look to generalize and categorize. It argues that one key role of the arts – often articulated poignantly in Conrad’s greatest work – is to highlight the anomalous, to champion the peculiar.

Feeling-Thinking or Embodied Cognition in the Poetry of Rozalie Hirs and Anne Carson

A stimulating cross-disciplinary study of how poetry taps into an embodied cognition at its various levels of signification. Feeling-Thinking or Embodied Cognition in the Poetry of Rozalie Hirs and Anne Carson asks: How can we feel-think in poetry and what are the effects of this embodied cognition for the resulting poetic epistemology? Combining a new materialist approach with insights from psychology, philosophy, and cognitive science, Helena Van Praet argues that such poetry is not only about felt knowledge but that it also invites readers to feel-think on a formal, sensory-material, and discursive level.Using a comparative corpus focused on the contemporary writing of Dutch poet Rozalie Hirs and Canadian poet Anne Carson, this study uses experimental strategies such as situated conceptualizations, word streams, poetic metalepsis, networked configurations, screen thinking, and discursive cues to explore how knowledge and meaning are bodily mediated in poetry. It demonstrates that meaning is not just propositional but rather something that you do with your entire body and that poetry is the prime genre to show such an embodied cognition at work.While earlier accounts tend to be limited to the physicality of the mind or mainly focus on either feeling or thinking, this book develops a full-bodied theory of embodied cognition in poetry. Through close readings, Feeling-Thinking shows how poetry can offer us alternative conceptions of knowledge that transcend purely rational accounts, inviting us to find joy in such cognitive creation.
Rhythm in Modern Poetry
An Essay in Cognitive Versification Studies
AvEva Lilja,Alexander Bergsm. fl.

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
A pioneering work in cognitive versification studies, scrutinizing the rhythmical means of free verse.Investigating a previously neglected area of study, Rhythm in Modern Poetry establishes a foundation for cognitive versification studies with a focus on the modernist free verse. Following in the tradition of cognitive poetics by Reuven Tsur, Richard Cureton and Derek Attridge, every chapter investigates the rhythms of one modern poem, by Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Sylvia Plath and others, and engages each element in the broader interpretation of the poem in question.In her examination of modernist poetry in English and other Germanic languages, Eva Lilja expands her analysis to discuss both the Ancient Greek and Norse origins of rhythm in free verse and the intermedia intersection, comparing poetic rhythm with rhythm in pictures, sculptures and dance. Rhythm in Modern Poetry thus expands the field of cognitive versification studies while also engaging readers writ large interested in how rhythm works in the aesthetic field.

Thinking Through Poems
Composition, Emotion and Decision-Making in Romantic-Era Women’s Novels
AvYasemin Nurcan Hacioglu,Margaret H. Freemanm. fl.

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
A new cognitive approach to the representation of composition in literature that examines five women novelists of the late 18th century and how they use imaginative poetic practices to attain emotional, practical and political agency.During a backlash towards feminism in British politics at the turn of the 19th century, popular women’s novels became saturated with heroines in dangerous situations who turn to composing original poetry. Thinking Through Poems shows how these poems indicate practices of composition that model imaginative decision-making. It reveals how these novels provide readers with cognitive tools to re-think how situations might unfold and to realize how patriarchal threats and cultural narratives can be methodically altered.Using both contemporary cognitive philosophy and historical approaches, Yasemin Nurcan Hacioglu uncovers how fictional heroines manipulate the narrative as they craft thoughts and responses not yet socially scripted. Re-considered as "works in progress," poems in Ann Radcliffe’s and Charlotte Smith’s influential novels are examined as a space in which heroines re-draft experiences into narratives that justify their choices. Hacioglu then investigates how the neglected novels of Eleanor Sleath, Charlotte Dacre and Amelia Opie added new arguments, through compositional practices, to the rich philosophical debate on how agency can be constructed. Thinking Through Poems provides new readings of women’s novels that are often read as conservative. It argues that these novels contributed to feminist politics not through defining values, but by providing frameworks for weaponizing fictional affects to challenge both practical and ideological obstacles during a changing climate in gender politics.
