‘Am I That Name?’
Feminism and the Category of ‘Women’ in History
AvDenise Riley
Häftad, Engelska, 1988
559 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Writing about changes in the notion of womanhood, Denise Riley examines, in the manner of Foucault, shifting historical constructions of the category of "women" in relation to other categories central to concepts of personhood: the soul, the mind, the body, nature, the social. Feminist movements, Riley argues, have had no choice but to play out this indeterminacy of women. This is made plain in their oscillations, since the 1790s, between concepts of equality and of difference. To fully recognize the ambiguity of the category of "women" is, she contends, a necessary condition for an effective feminist political philosophy.

1 080 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Rob White reconsiders Freud's controversial theory of inherited memory, referring it both to Anglo-American commentary and post-structuralist work on psychoanalysis. White proposes that this theory is evidence of an underlying haunted retrospection in Freudian theorizing, which time and again discovers that meaning has been lost.

Writing of Anxiety
Imagining Wartime in Mid-Century British Culture
AvL. Stonebridge
Inbunden, Engelska, 2007
643 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
This study suggests that it was the representation of anxiety, rather than trauma and memory, that emerged most forcefully in mid-century wartime culture. Thinking about anxiety, Lyndsey Stonebridge argues, was a way of imagining how it might be possible to stay within a history that frequently undermined a sense of self and agency.

Class, Culture and Mass Housing in London and Paris
AvMatthew Taunton
Inbunden, Engelska, 2009
643 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Many studies of fictions of city life take the flâneur as the characteristic metropolitan type and streets and plazas as definitive urban spaces. Looking at novels and films set in London and Paris from L'Assommoir to Nil By Mouth , this book shows that mass housing is equally central to images of the modern city.

Interpretation as Pragmatics
AvJ. Lecercle
Häftad, Engelska, 1999
787 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Why is it that all interpretations are possible, and none is true? That some interpretations are just, but some are false? Lecercle draws on the resources of pragmatics, literary theory and the philosophy of language to propose a new theory of literary, but also of face-to-face, dialogue that charts the interaction between the five participants in the fields of dialogue and/or interpretation: author, reader, text, language and encyclopaedia. Interpretation is taken through its four stages, from glossing and enigma solving to translation and intervention.

The Emergence of Literary Education
AvIan Hunter
Inbunden, Engelska, 1988
1 616 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Since the Romantics culture has been identified with the promise of a complete development of human capacities and, typically, the 'rise of English' has been viewed in terms of the (true or distorted) fulfilment of this promise in the education system. This book presents a sustained and historically informed challenge to that view.
On Pornography
Literature, Sexuality and Obscenity Law
AvDavid Saunders,Dugald Williamson
Inbunden, Engelska, 1992
1 022 kr
Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
The policing of pornography remains a subject of widespread controversy. On Pornography provides a history of this policing and an understanding of the current debate. The authors show that obscenity law should not be understood negatively as censorship but as part of the positive administration of a particular practice of sexuality. This book indicates that obscenity law is not, as liberals claim, a mistaken attempt to police moral ideas, but rather forms part of the legitimate governmental regulation of a problematic social conduct.

Italian Family Matters examines the debates and political priorities that led to significant changes in the law and its relation to women and the family in postwar Italy.
