Voices in the Heart
Postcolonialism and Identity in Hong Kong Literature
AvBrian J. Hooper
Häftad, Engelska, 2003
760 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
The author undertakes the task of examining a large body of literature produced in Hong Kong to show it as an integral part of the universal human heritage. This thematic study of contemporary Hong Kong anglophone literature identifies a series of themes and motifs that can be drawn upon both as figures for an authentically «Hong Kong» criticism and as lenses through which to read, contextualize, and interpret the texts that constitute this canon of fiction, autobiography, drama, and poetry. Focusing on three central texts – Patrick Acheson’s intricately-wrought and provocative Flagrant Harbour, Lee Ding Fai’s rags-to-riches story Running Dog, and Timothy Mo’s The Monkey King – Hooper offers a theoretical structure for analyzing the postcolonial phenomena in the Hong Kong context. This book includes an exhaustive bibliography of Hong Kong literature.

Intuition of an Infinite Obligation
Narrative Ethics and Postmodern Gnostics in the Fiction of E. L. Doctorow
AvCatharine Walker Bergström
Inbunden, Engelska, 2010
705 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Grounded in theoretical studies of postmodern and narrative ethics, this book proposes the need for a re-examination of E. L. Doctorow’s work from an ethical perspective. Through in-depth analyses of previously neglected intertexts, it questions the classification of his fiction as an expression of postmodern skepticism. Seven of Doctorow’s most widely acclaimed novels are dealt with in chronological order, tracing his finely tuned characterizations of the human quest for narrative truth. Growing out of the early protagonists’ vague sense of moral consciousness is their recognition of an obligation to interpret signs from and for the Other. Through logical deliberation and close reading, the study gradually identifies the narrative voice of the post-modern gnostic.

Otherness in the Novels of Patrick White
AvAlma Budurlean,Rüdiger Ahrens
Inbunden, Engelska, 2009
970 kr
Skickas inom 3-6 vardagar
The central argument of the thesis, the representation and reception of otherness, is followed throughout White’s novels with the support of a complex critical instrumentarium made up of postcolonial theory, reader response theory, cultural-critical frameworks, alterity theory, and narratology. Otherness in its manifold representations is a main component of Patrick White’s fiction. It functions on several levels and this requires a deeper entanglement on the part of the reader. The different levels previously referred to are embodied in the various Others who people White’s novels: ethnic Others as members of the Australian multicultural society and the Aborigines as colonial Others, as well as gender Others, who also play an important role in White’s fictional world. Reading Patrick White is an exercise in tolerance, endurance and acceptance of alternatives. But the efforts of the reader do not remain unrewarded. In his endeavour to change what it meant to imagine Australia, the writer broke down the barriers of what it meant to imagine otherness.

Rethinking Postmodern Subjectivity
Emmanuel Levinas and the Ethics of Referentiality in the Work of Donald Barthelme
AvZuzanna Ladyga
Häftad, Engelska, 2009
1 024 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
What is postmodern literary subjectivity? How to talk about it without falling in the trap of negative hyper-essentialism or being seduced by exuberant lit speak? One way out of this dilemma, as this book suggests, is via a redefinition of the concept in the context of Emmanuel Levinas and his radical ethics. By defining subjectivity as an ethically charged act of language, Levinas provides a fresh perspective on the often trivialized aspects of postmodern poetics such as referentiality and affect construction strategies. The foregrounding of the ethical dimension of those poetic elements has far-reaching consequences for how we read postmodern texts and understand postmodernism in general. Thus, to prove the benefits of the Levinasian approach, the author applies it to the work of the canonical American postmodernist, Donald Barthelme, and explains the distinctly ethical character of his apparently surfictional experiments.

Poetics of Identity: Mina Loy Voicing the Fluid Female Body
AvPavlina Ferfeli
Inbunden, Engelska, 2011
738 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Examining closely the intersection of Continental theories of difference and a predominantly American ethic of diversity, the book uses phenomenology and interdisciplinary study to investigate female embodiment in Mina Loy’s poetic and visual work. It contends that Loy’s female embodied subjectivity is enacted in the mode of a subject-in-process, forever active in the transformation of materiality, intercorporeality, visuality and ideology. It shows that the representation of a forcefully fluid and unfetished female body endows Loy and her contemporary Surrealist women artists with the necessary tool to redefine the rigid ethics and aesthetics of existing Surrealism, complicate gender identity and set a new basis for the social sciences. As it appears both sexed and asexual, corporeal and transcendent, the female body suggests the impasse of the antagonism between sperm and ovum as well as that of body and mind, with Loy’s ardent feminism finally evolving into humanitarian wisdom. The book suggests that even though Loy’s work has been traditionally viewed mainly as an instance of modernist rupture, it also forms a humanitarian feminist poetry that bridges, compensates and heals.

This book examines the relationship between learner motivation and cultural contents for the teaching of English as a Foreign Language. It takes Chile as an example of the «Expanding Circle of English», where the 21st century has brought new challenges to English teaching. After providing background information on the presence of English in Latin America and Chile, this qualitative study includes the analysis of curricular frameworks, textbooks and teacher interviews. Conclusions propose an explicit, yet critical inclusion of both motivational strategies and cultural themes into educational and curricular policies, learning materials, and teacher training.

Decolonization and the Struggle for National Liberation in India (1909–1971)
Historical, Political, Economic, Religious and Architectural Aspects
AvThierry Di Costanzo,Guillaume Ducœur
Inbunden, Engelska, 2014
787 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
At the end of the First World War, the Raj remained economically or even strategically more central than ever in the general colonial architecture of the British Empire. Yet, between the two World Wars, the colonial regime hung only by a thread when confronted with the rising popularity of the nationalist movements. As a result, independence was granted in 1947 to this major component of the Empire, a truly cataclysmic event for the remainder of the world. This reality conflicts with the idea that a well-managed, peaceful decolonization process was launched by the British authorities. The independence of British India proceeded at the same speed as the Partition of British India which had both immediate and distant, but surely terrible, consequences like the 1971 war with Pakistan over Bangladesh.

Construction of Gender Identities in Alison Bechdel’s (Autobio)graphic Writings
Rites de Passage
AvChristian Ludwig,Maria Eisenmann
Inbunden, Engelska, 2018
909 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This the first extensive study of the graphic narratives of Alison Bechdel, one of the most renowned and influential cartoonists and graphic novelists of our time. Over the last few decades, a wealth of publications on the growing medium of graphic fiction has become available. The contribution of this volume to this body of work is to explore Bechdel’s oeuvre from her earlier cartoons to her contemporary full-length graphic memoirs, particularly chronicling her formative years. Employing a number of case studies from Bechdel’s work, this publication shows how Bechdel plays with the medium-specific characteristics of graphic narratives in order to trace back the complex relationship with her parents and the development of her own gender identities.

Towards a Cultura Franca
Contemporary American Civil and Human Rights Drama in the Foreign Language Classroom
AvJeannette U. Böttcher,Maria Eisenmann
Inbunden, Engelska, 2017
646 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This book is mapping the fields of modern output-oriented teaching, intercultural learning, and drama methods in the foreign language class. It explains that drama-based language learning transcends the usual learning scopes in its practical relevance and its far-reaching contextual implications. By including (inter-)cultural aspects, as well as human and civil rights issues, modern teaching can provide students with new frames of references and shifts their attention from an individualistic worldview towards a more tolerant perception of «the other.» The term of «cultura franca» hints at a liberation of cultural restraints and this is exactly what is indispensable in order to educate students to become the interculturally adept speakers our modern time needs.

Réalisateur britannique de fictions politiques, Peter Kosminsky a fait le choix d’investir une télévision aux potentialités politiques évidentes. Ses scénarios filmiques offrent un traitement holistique à une actualité récente, souvent abordée de manière parcellaire, voire sensationnelle.
L’examen des œuvres de Peter Kosminsky permet de mieux comprendre le caractère atypique de son parcours　: comment, en optant pour la fiction il est parvenu à porter à l’attention de tous, un travail de questionnement des politiques gouvernementales au Royaume-Uni depuis les années 1990.
L’ambition de cet ouvrage, qui revient sur l’ensemble des films de Peter Kosminsky, est aussi de montrer comment la télévision britannique s’est emparée de la fiction à valeur documentaire pour retraiter l’actualité.

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This book updates reader-response criticism as the foundation of aesthetic reading in the classroom by bringing it in line with cognitive theories in literary studies and linguistics. With the help of Gilles Fauconnier and Mark Turner‘s conceptual integration theory, which shares a surprising number of correspondences with Wolfgang Iser‘s The Act of Reading, it is possible to flesh out the latter‘s model of narrative meaning-making. In turn, this allows for a consistent reader-response approach to the medium of comics and auto/biography as one of its dominant genres. The fragmentation of comics narratives, but also of human lives and identities, requires such a theory that can explain how different perspectives and experiences can be blended into an experiential whole.

AvBarbara Puschmann-Nalenz,Rüdiger Ahrens

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Failure as a pervasive occurrence in life has rarely been investigated by sociology, even though the collapse of plans, unattainability of goals and breakdown of vital relationships are ordinary experiences. The study of early-21st-century fiction reveals that imaginative literature at present explores the lacunae of failure, disillusionment and collapse as central narrative themes. About fifty years after Samuel Beckett, in whose works the failing of expression became a major concern, postmillennial narratives expose disruption or defeat as subject matter and literary trope. Unheroic failure as a motif makes its variegated appearance in diverse areas of human life such as love, religion, art, and social community. The narratives explore it as the individual’s participation in common humanity.

Human imagination is saturated with monsters. They represent, in a number of ways, those that have been historically perceived as strangers to the human community. It is a game of alterities wherein female monsters have occupied a particularly relevant position. Women have been historically represented as the Other in this human/nonhuman dyad. In the present study nineteenth- and twentieth-century vampires’ and zombies’ narratives have guided the analysis of a contemporary neo-gothic artefact: Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter by Laurell K. 　Hamilton. This book argues at the intersection of feminist literary analysis and cultural studies methodology, and it also considers queer notions of fluidity and performativity. The author sets out that Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter represents a twenty-first-century series questioning social norms and envisioning worlds of freedom.

In this volume, scholars analyze contemporary Black British and American women’s fiction that tackles issues of violence and its representations. The book gives readers a wide perspective about recent research on the history of Black women who have been subjected to physical and psychological violence, which defines the identities of those women who suffer it. The psychosocial and emotional consequences of violence leave traces that speak of vulnerability, but they also activate resistance and resilience mechanisms as suppliers of identity and personal agency, as reflected on the female characters and authors studied through this volume. The essays aim at publicizing less known writers who denounce abuse, trauma and discrimination, reflecting resilience and resistance mechanisms and taking the ethical rethinking of how we are building our social and culture relations.

This book uses some of Doris Lessing’s fictional texts as a springboard for making new contributions to the study of ageing, and more specifically, on the ageing of women. Lessing’s fiction invites a critical political, cultural and ethical reflection at the intersections between literature and culture in the final years of the twentieth century and the first few of the current one. Lessing’s narrative reflects on the complexity of older women’s lives, their acquiescence or disagreement with social norms, and how to negotiate the effects of the passage of time. The four chapters and conclusion discuss the various elements that serve as indicators of the well-being or ill-being of this diverse human group, including health, place of residence, neighbourliness, financial situation, public policies, and nature of relationships.

Thus, to prove the benefits of the Levinasian approach, the author applies it to the work of the canonical American postmodernist, Donald Barthelme, and explains the distinctly ethical character of his apparently surfictional experiments.

Examining closely the intersection of Continental theories of difference and a predominantly American ethic of diversity, the book uses phenomenology and interdisciplinary study to investigate female embodiment in Mina Loy’s poetic and visual work. It contends that Loy’s female embodied subjectivity is enacted in the mode of a subject-in-process, forever active in the transformation of materiality, intercorporeality, visuality and ideology. It shows that the representation of a forcefully fluid and unfetished female body endows Loy and her contemporary Surrealist women artists with the necessary tool to redefine the rigid ethics and aesthetics of existing Surrealism, complicate gender identity and set a new basis for the social sciences. As it appears both sexed and asexual, corporeal and transcendent, the female body suggests the impasse of the antagonism between sperm and ovum as well as that of body and mind, with Loy’s ardent feminism finally evolving into humanitarian wisdom. The book suggests that even though Loy’s work has been traditionally viewed mainly as an instance of modernist rupture, it also forms a humanitarian feminist poetry that bridges, compensates and heals.

This book examines the relationship between learner motivation and cultural contents for the teaching of English as a Foreign Language. It takes Chile as an example of the «Expanding Circle of English», where the 21st century has brought new challenges to English teaching. After providing background information on the presence of English in Latin America and Chile, this qualitative study includes the analysis of curricular frameworks, textbooks and teacher interviews. Conclusions propose an explicit, yet critical inclusion of both motivational strategies and cultural themes into educational and curricular policies, learning materials, and teacher training.

At the end of the First World War, the Raj remained economically or even strategically more central than ever in the general colonial architecture of the British Empire. Yet, between the two World Wars, the colonial regime hung only by a thread when confronted with the rising popularity of the nationalist movements. As a result, independence was granted in 1947 to this major component of the Empire, a truly cataclysmic event for the remainder of the world. This reality conflicts with the idea that a well-managed, peaceful decolonization process was launched by the British authorities. The independence of British India proceeded at the same speed as the Partition of British India which had both immediate and distant, but surely terrible, consequences like the 1971 war with Pakistan over Bangladesh.

This the first extensive study of the graphic narratives of Alison Bechdel, one of the most renowned and influential cartoonists and graphic novelists of our time. Over the last few decades, a wealth of publications on the growing medium of graphic fiction has become available. The contribution of this volume to this body of work is to explore Bechdel’s oeuvre from her earlier cartoons to her contemporary full-length graphic memoirs, particularly chronicling her formative years. Employing a number of case studies from Bechdel’s work, this publication shows how Bechdel plays with the medium-specific characteristics of graphic narratives in order to trace back the complex relationship with her parents and the development of her own gender identities.

This book is mapping the fields of modern output-oriented teaching, intercultural learning, and drama methods in the foreign language class. It explains that drama-based language learning transcends the usual learning scopes in its practical relevance and its far-reaching contextual implications. By including (inter-)cultural aspects, as well as human and civil rights issues, modern teaching can provide students with new frames of references and shifts their attention from an individualistic worldview towards a more tolerant perception of «the other.» The term of «cultura franca» hints at a liberation of cultural restraints and this is exactly what is indispensable in order to educate students to become the interculturally adept speakers our modern time needs.

Réalisateur britannique de fictions politiques, Peter Kosminsky a fait le choix d’investir une télévision aux potentialités politiques évidentes. Ses scénarios filmiques offrent un traitement holistique à une actualité récente, souvent abordée de manière parcellaire, voire sensationnelle.
L’examen des œuvres de Peter Kosminsky permet de mieux comprendre le caractère atypique de son parcours　: comment, en optant pour la fiction il est parvenu à porter à l’attention de tous, un travail de questionnement des politiques gouvernementales au Royaume-Uni depuis les années 1990.
L’ambition de cet ouvrage, qui revient sur l’ensemble des films de Peter Kosminsky, est aussi de montrer comment la télévision britannique s’est emparée de la fiction à valeur documentaire pour retraiter l’actualité.

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This book updates reader-response criticism as the foundation of aesthetic reading in the classroom by bringing it in line with cognitive theories in literary studies and linguistics. With the help of Gilles Fauconnier and Mark Turner‘s conceptual integration theory, which shares a surprising number of correspondences with Wolfgang Iser‘s The Act of Reading, it is possible to flesh out the latter‘s model of narrative meaning-making. In turn, this allows for a consistent reader-response approach to the medium of comics and auto/biography as one of its dominant genres. The fragmentation of comics narratives, but also of human lives and identities, requires such a theory that can explain how different perspectives and experiences can be blended into an experiential whole.

Failure as a pervasive occurrence in life has rarely been investigated by sociology, even though the collapse of plans, unattainability of goals and breakdown of vital relationships are ordinary experiences. The study of early-21st-century fiction reveals that imaginative literature at present explores the lacunae of failure, disillusionment and collapse as central narrative themes. About fifty years after Samuel Beckett, in whose works the failing of expression became a major concern, postmillennial narratives expose disruption or defeat as subject matter and literary trope. Unheroic failure as a motif makes its variegated appearance in diverse areas of human life such as love, religion, art, and social community. The narratives explore it as the individual’s participation in common humanity.

Human imagination is saturated with monsters. They represent, in a number of ways, those that have been historically perceived as strangers to the human community. It is a game of alterities wherein female monsters have occupied a particularly relevant position. Women have been historically represented as the Other in this human/nonhuman dyad. In the present study nineteenth- and twentieth-century vampires’ and zombies’ narratives have guided the analysis of a contemporary neo-gothic artefact: Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter by Laurell K. 　Hamilton. This book argues at the intersection of feminist literary analysis and cultural studies methodology, and it also considers queer notions of fluidity and performativity. The author sets out that Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter represents a twenty-first-century series questioning social norms and envisioning worlds of freedom.

The second chapter explores crucial factors which impact the protagonists’ transcultural identity construction.

In this volume, scholars analyze contemporary Black British and American women’s fiction that tackles issues of violence and its representations. The book gives readers a wide perspective about recent research on the history of Black women who have been subjected to physical and psychological violence, which defines the identities of those women who suffer it. The psychosocial and emotional consequences of violence leave traces that speak of vulnerability, but they also activate resistance and resilience mechanisms as suppliers of identity and personal agency, as reflected on the female characters and authors studied through this volume. The essays aim at publicizing less known writers who denounce abuse, trauma and discrimination, reflecting resilience and resistance mechanisms and taking the ethical rethinking of how we are building our social and culture relations.

This book uses some of Doris Lessing’s fictional texts as a springboard for making new contributions to the study of ageing, and more specifically, on the ageing of women. Lessing’s fiction invites a critical political, cultural and ethical reflection at the intersections between literature and culture in the final years of the twentieth century and the first few of the current one. Lessing’s narrative reflects on the complexity of older women’s lives, their acquiescence or disagreement with social norms, and how to negotiate the effects of the passage of time. The four chapters and conclusion discuss the various elements that serve as indicators of the well-being or ill-being of this diverse human group, including health, place of residence, neighbourliness, financial situation, public policies, and nature of relationships.
