Katherine Mansfield has been widely recognised as one of the key authors of her generation, continuing to influence literary modernism and the short story genre through her nomadic existence, colonial perspective, eclectic interests and impressive range of literary acquaintances. This volume utilises these seemingly endless avenues for critical exploration, analysing Mansfield’s influences, including the familial, historical and geographical as well as literary and artistic approaches. Some connections are well established and acknowledged, some controversial, many still undiscovered. This volume brings a fresh collection of original viewpoints on Katherine Mansfield’s life and work, both of which, in her own case, are frequently indistinguishable. It investigates her fascinating connection with Poland which is explored in a complex and detailed way for the first time; suggests new or revised views on her connections to other English and American writers; and finally examines some of the aspects of her writing process, her engagement with the arts, imagination, memories and her constructions of different kinds of space.

Difficult Neighborhoods

The Semiotics of Conflict in Culture, Literature, and Language

As we go about our daily lives, we face diverging views, values, and cultures. When these diverging views and values collide, we inevitably face conflicts, creating situations that require us to navigate a "difficult neighborhood." This book examines the symptoms of conflict in culture, literature, and language that emerge as we enter such challenging neighborhoods. It features original research studies that examine the semiotics and pragmatics of conflict in various discourses of borders and neighborhoods—geographical, political, ethnic, religious, and linguistic—as expressed in widely understood cultural texts. With this diverse scope in mind, we hope to have cleared the horizon assisting readers to understand and approach various conflicts in a more creative, humane, innovative, and objective manner.

Echoes of English

Anglicisms in Minor Speech Communities – with Special Focus on Danish and Afrikaans

In today’s world, the English language exerts an unprecedented influence internationally, and its echoes are present in almost all languages. These echoes, also known as Anglicisms, are no longer limited to English-sounding loanwords. The English impact includes a wide range of linguistic phenomena, all of which are discussed in this book, presenting a taxonomy accommodating all types of linguistic outcome of contact with English. While the outlook remains international, the focus is on Danish and Afrikaans, two Germanic languages spoken in societies with very different histories involving English. A number of chapters present diachronic corpus studies showing that the English influence on Danish in the 21st century resembles the impact felt by Afrikaans speakers already in the 20th century."The book is highly original and differs markedly from other works on Anglicisms. For instance, the author takes advantage of his knowledge of the field of translation studies to write a thought-provoking chapter on translation (including subtitling and dubbing) as a vector for English influence. The initial chapters give the state of the art in studies on Anglicisms on the world stage (not just for Danish), drawing on the work of many scholars, expressed in a multitude of languages. The argumentation of the book is based on hands-on research, much of which was carried out by the author himself. The style is an excellent compromise: a measured, authoritative language with a bright conversational lift. It will appeal to both students and a broader readership."John Humbley, Professor emeritus, Université Paris Diderot

Was it possible for an eighteenth-century woman to become a celebrity and remain respectable? Could women’s commercial success in literature be reconciled with contemporary ideals of prescribed feminine domesticity? The rugged trajectory marked by the critical reception of the works by Frances Burney (1752–1840), an English novelist, diarist and playwright, reveals the dilemmas she faced at different stages of her career from a debutante to an acclaimed literary figure. Burney’s long life is set against the background of changing conventions in culture consumption and appreciation, and the book highlights the successes and failures of the techniques which the author employed in her texts for projecting a favourable image of herself as a woman and writer.

The book discusses the issue of religiosity in the context of American Jewish literature, emphasizing the significance of Judaism as an indispensable element in the formation of American Jewish female identity. The empirical part of the book is devoted to a critical comprehensive analysis of selected fiction by contemporary American Jewish female writers, representatives of the third generation, whose works were published between 1980–2005. The literary analyses of the selected narratives reveal a strong connection between the identity of American Jewish women and Judaism, and the simultaneous need to modify it in the face of socio-political transformations occurring in the American society at the turn of the twenty-first century

(De-)constructing Rape Culture and Victim Blaming Online

New Solutions and Critical Voices in Contemporary Literature and Language

Language can never be seen as separate from social phenomena. With the rise of the internet and the changes that have taken place as far as sites in which interaction occurs, new types of discourses surrounding sexual assault have emerged. As a result, victim-blaming as a discursive action has become more anonymous.This study investigates digital comments located on news reporting websites on the subject of rape and compares American and Polish comments. The linguistic analysis of the discourse on rape and the actors involved investigates representations of victims, offenders, and the act of rape itself and questions the cultural significance of victim-blaming.The [...] work is an excellent example of methodological triangulation. The author has decided to combine the potential of CDA and pragmatics to gain a better understanding of the ideologies revealed in the linguistic layer of the researched material and the process of their influence—through language—on the attitudes of discourse participants. The theoretical (conceptual) and methodological “circumstances” of the relevant research have been developed extremely broadly. One could say that a reader learning about research competencies has been provided with a complete and rich set of tools, both those chosen by the author of the work and alternative ones, to consider alternative research paths.– Professor Agnieszka Kiełkiewicz-Janowiak, Adam Mickiewicz University, PoznańThis work is a highly valuable academic study that develops both a critical analysis of discourse and enriches knowledge about attitudes and evaluations of rape and its perpetrators and victims. [...] On an academic level, the work provides a comprehensive and original solution to the research problem.– Professor Andrzej Łyda, University of Silesia in Katowice
