Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The book explores the thematics of the mother-daughter relationships in selected texts by contemporary Chinese American women writers Maxine Hong Kingston, Amy Tan, Fae Myenne Ng and Gish Jen. The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of a Girlhood among Ghosts, The Joy Luck Club and The Kitchen God's Wif…e, Bone and Mona in the Promised Land altogether reflect an array of matrilineal traditions highly receptive to the conventional wisdom that daughters must separate from their mothers to become strong individuals. I argue that the considered narratives problematize the Western domestic storylines by hinging back to a complex mesh of racial histories, misogyny, rape, displacement, and enforced separation. The book emphasizes a universal impulse for perfection which dovetails with an endeavour to point out the diversity and complementarity of their challenging reactions to the dominant myths of female connection and disconnection. The selected texts relocate the universal romance of symbiosis-individuation at the intersection of a fluid but, nurturing positioning across different worlds and cultures. They demonstrate the crucial significance of storytelling in undercutting the unconscious essence of the mother-daughter rift. Hence, the purely psychological universal friction between every mother and daughter significantly shapes the examined matrilineal stories just as the characters? positioning amid liminal hyphenated spaces do. The discussion contributes to reorienting the homophobic dimension in the mother-daughter attachment toward multicultural issues of consent and descent. The concerned plots create a tour de force in the mainstream matrilineal tradition, through narrative scenarios wherein the mothers and daughters foreground the impossibility of separation.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Creating Myths as Narratives of Empowerment and Disempowerment brings together international scholarship examining how myths construct, sustain, and contest power. Originating in the University of Jendouba (Tunisia) conference, this collection-edited by Sihem Arfaoui, Jacqueline Bacha, M. Ka…mel Igoudjil, Saemi Ludwig, and J. S. Mackley-explores how myth functions as both a tool of domination and a source of liberation across literary, religious, and political discourses.Essays trace the re-use of ancient archetypes-from Biblical and Qur'anic creation stories to classical and nationalist myths-to reveal how symbolic narratives continue to shape modern identity and ideology. Through readings of writers including Zola, Faulkner, Rushdie, Kingston, Morrison, and Coetzee, the contributors show how myth mediates the tensions between individual agency and cultural constraint.Five interlinked themes define the volume: Myth and Power Structures - myth as a mechanism of political and social control;Gender and Identity - feminist and postcolonial re-interpretations of patriarchal myth;Religious and Archetypal Myth - reinterpretations of sacred and classical traditions;Narrative and Ideology - structuralist, semiotic, and post-structuralist frameworks;Cross-Cultural Literary Exchange - the transformation of myth across global literatures.Engaging with theorists such as Jung, Eliade, Kerenyi, Barthes, and Derrida, the essays combine myth criticism, philosophy, and literary analysis to reveal the narrative grammar of power itself. Published in a new scholarly edition, Creating Myths affirms the enduring relevance of myth as both an analytical method and a living force in the modern world. The Creating Myths as Narratives of Empowerment and Disempowerment concerence took place at the University of Jendouba, Tunisia in 2014. These proceeding look at the ways that mythology is used in areas such as religion and historical empowerment, through lenses such as modernism, imperialism, postcolonialism, realism and American minorities.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Order and Disorder presents a collection of interdisciplinary essays that emerged from the University of Jendouba's international colloquium on the theme of order and disorder in literature, language, and culture. Edited by Sihem Arfaoui…, Noureddine Fekir, and J. S. Mackley, the volume brings together scholars from Tunisia, Europe, and the United Kingdom to examine the interplay between stability and disruption-whether in philosophy, theology, literature, linguistics, or world politics.The contributors question inherited notions of harmony, hierarchy, and control, proposing instead that disorder can function as a necessary condition for creativity and renewal. Beginning with reflections on the 'Humanist project under erasure,' the collection explores the philosophical, linguistic, and artistic tensions that define modernity. Essays range from studies of the Anglo-Norman Voyage of St Brendan and Keats's Lamia to analyses of Okara's 'Once Upon a Time,' Mandanipour's Censoring an Iranian Love Story, and O'Neill's The Great God Brown. Other contributions investigate the linguistic order of Tunisian Arabic, the rhetoric of journalism, and the ideological reconfiguration of political power.Throughout, the volume considers how the dual concepts of order and disorder reflect a deeper dialectic in human thought-from classical metaphysics and Christian cosmology to post-structuralist theory and post-revolutionary Tunisia.This scholarly collection invites readers to see disorder not as negation but as transformation: a force through which meaning, freedom, and artistic expression continually reinvent themselves.
