Paperback. Condition: New. This study focuses on texts exploring human proclivity to violent behaviour. Building on the anthropological insights of Rene Girard, and on the premise that literature is a reflection of a cultural moment, Curyllo-Klag shows how early modernism registers symptoms of crisis which even the outbreak of World War I failed to resolve. Arranged in chronological order, the works of Conrad, Lewis and Lawrence reveal an unfolding pattern and form a triptych, indicative of the growing intensity of the epoch in which they were produced.…

Dust jacket shows a bit of cosmetic edgewear. -- An exploration of the evolving relationship between text and material form in literature, this volume examines how the physicality of the book itself influences interpretation and meaning, tracing developments from modernist innovations to the contemporary concept of liberature. Through a series of critical essays, the authors analyze various literary works, demonstrating how material aspects such as typography, layout, and design become integral to the narrative experience. This scholarly work provides valuable insights into the intersection of literary theory, material culture, and textual studies. -- Contents: Introduction: Modernist Roots of Liberature / Katarzyna Bazarnik; Book as a New Genre: The Book Illustrations of Bruno Schulz / Ariko Kato; Modernism in a Rear-view Mirror: McLuhan's COUNTERBLAST of 1954 and 1969 / Izabela Curyllo-Klag; Cage and Liberature / Michal Palmowski; The Hybrid Book Genre of Word &​ Image Narratives: Results of an Artistic Research Project / Jeanine Eerdekens; Close Reading of the Liberatic Canon: On Oka-leczenie by Zenon Fajfer and Katarzyna Bazarnik / Agnieszka Przybyszewska; Liberature and Person: An Anthropological Question / Emiliano Ranocchi; Appendices: Source Texts [Liberature: Appendix to a Dictionary of Literary Terms / Zenon Fajfer; Liberature or Total Literature (Appendix to the 'Appendix to the Dictionary of Literary Terms') / Zenon Fajfer; Lyric, Epic, Dramatic, Liberature / Zenon Fajfer]; Contributors; Index -- Liberature - coined from the Latin liber - is simultaneously a movement in contemporary Polish literature, and a term referring to literary works that integrate text and material features of the book into an organic whole in accordance with the author's design. The present volume collects essays inspired by this theoretical concept, first proposed by Polish poet Zenon Fajfer in 1999, but soon picked up and elaborated on by international scholars. As noted by the contributing authors, preceding Jessica Pressman's idea of "bookishness" and coinciding with N. Katherine Hayles' fundamental writings, liberature appeared at the end of the 20th century, "as if to resume and systematize the intuitions and provocative statements" of writers concerned with the future of the book. It fits into a wider turn towards the recognition of the embodied nature of information in anthropology, literary, textual, media and AI studies. Yet its distinctness consists in the fact that it was suggested by a creative writer, and that it proposes to see the authorially-shaped materiality of writing in terms of a literary genre. The essays collected here present the modernist roots and inspirations of liberature, address the semantics of typography and the question of the materiality of literary writing, and explore how the "abstract body of the printed book is transformed into an experience of embodiment." The volume is completed with a reprint of Fajfer's seminal essays with a view to making them more available to English-speaking readers.…

Price blacked out on rear cover. -- This collection of essays explores the dynamic interaction between literature and historical representation and offers diverse perspectives on how fiction engages with historical narratives. The book is divided into four sections, each addressing a distinct approach to narrating and interpreting history. The opening section critiques traditional historiography, with Hayden White's essay leading an analysis of alternative representations. The subsequent essays examine contemporary novels that reimagine historical events through postmodern techniques, and how fiction, particularly by writers like Philip Roth and Téa Obreht, challenges established historical truths. Part Two focuses on personal trauma set against the backdrop of national history, exploring works by authors such as Toni Morrison and J.M. Coetzee. Part Three shifts attention to Jewish experiences as central to the understanding of historical memory, with essays reflecting on Holocaust representations and Jewish identity in the works of W.G. Sebald. Finally, Part Four deals with history as a space of memory, analyzing literature, art, and music as mediums for preserving and reconstructing the past. -- Contents: Preface; Part One: Challenging the Historical Past: Alternative Representations -- 1. Historical Truth, Estrangement, and Disbelief / Hayden White; 2. Postmodern Historical Novel: A Contribution to Historiographic Inquiry / Bozena Kucala; 3. Confronting Historicity: Louise Erdrich's Native American Fiction / Grazyna Maria-Teresa Branny; 4. What If? Philip Roth's The Plot Against America / Sárka Bubíková; 5. Eschewing Factuality: Téa Obreht's The Tiger's Wife / Beata Piatek; Part Two: Personal Trauma and the Burden of National History -- 6. Story of Margaret Garner, or How History Disremembers the Past, and Toni Morrison's Act of the Imagination / Michal Palmowski; 7. 'Imagining the Unimaginable.' Confronting the Burden of Colonial History in J.M. Coetzee's In the Heart of the Country / Marek Pawlicki; 8. Intersection of History and Ordinary Lives: Wish You Were Here by Graham Swift / Krystyna Stamirowska; 9. Stealing the Baby from the Crib: The Burden of Scottish History and Cultural Misrepresentation / Olga Roebuck; Part Three: Jewish Experience as a Master Narrative -- 10. Myth of the Wandering Jew in W.G. Sebald's Austerlitz / Dagmar Blight; 11. Traces of the Holocaust in the Oeuvre of J.M. Coetzee / Robert Kusek; Part Four: The Space of Memory: Fragments and Ruins -- 12. Ruination of Things Past: On W.G. Sebald's Austerlitz / Karolina Kolenda; 13. Texts like Fractals: 'Memory Spaces' and the 'Black Carnival' of 9/11 / Ewa Kowal; Contributors -- "This collection of essays has grown out of a project undertaken at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow in cooperation with the International Visegrad Fund. The inspiration for the project came from the work of Professor Hayden White, who kindly accepted the project coordinators' invitation to give a lecture and conduct a workshop for scholars from Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and the Czech Republic. The resultant material has been divided into four sections which exemplify diverse aspects of fiction's engagement with history. In the opening essay, Professor White offers an outstanding analysis of Saul Friedlander's 'Nazi Germany and the Jews' as an example of the kind of historiography which may be capable of giving an account of historical events whose appalling nature defies representation and thus eschews older conventions of historical scholarship.".…

Condition: Wie Neu. Zustandsbeschreibung: leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear. Cultural Representations of Housing Across Media. Edited by Ewa Kowal and Izabela Curyllo-Klag. Eleven contributions by Tom Brennecke, Rowland Cotterill, Rod Mengham, Eszter Ozsváth, Teresa Brus, Krystian Piotrowski, Aleksandra Kaminska, Corin Wardzich, Katarzyna Biela, Izabela Curyllo-Klag and Ewa Kowal. Few ideas are as universally key, basic and primal as "home". Few ideas require more attention and new, critical re-examination in recognition of ongoing social change. In the post-pandemic and ecological reflection on how we live and approach "home" in its diverse definitions, engagement with this topic is only bound to grow in the future. This rapidly rising interest in the multidisciplinary field of housing studies is reflected also by our collection, which can be seen as an introduction to the entire research area thanks to the opening chapter, outlining its history and complexity. The following chapters by an international group of scholars representing different generations and methodological approaches examine some of the many meanings of home, houses or housing as they have been expressed in Western culture, not only across time but also across varied media: from traditional and digital theatre, through varied literary genres, to film and television, photography and street art.
