Paperback. Condition: New. How can literature respond to a monumental event, unprecedented historically, politically, and culturally, whose memory will forever be inseparable from its mass media coverage? How can writers represent what Jean Baudrillard called an "image-event"? In particular, what form can they use to convey the unspeakable - that was at the same time broadcasted live across the globe? These questions are central to Ewa Kowal's comparative study of thirteen early post-9/11 novels. Written in four different Western countries between 2003 and 2007, during the now historical time of George W. Bush's "war on terror," the selected works provide the earliest literary reactions to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and/or their aftermath. Kowal examines them in a wider cultural context, focusing especially on audio-visual media, motifs of childhood and magical thinking as well as the destabilised division into reality and fiction.Offering an original reading of the whole body of work, the author places each analysed book on a scale according to its closeness to a terrorist attack, revealing a correspondence between the distance from the tragedy, the levels of danger and risk taken, and the degree of formal (un)conventionality.…

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. XXXI,213 Seiten mit vier Abb., gebunden (Brill | Fink 2022). Statt EUR 118,00. Gewicht: 607 g - Gebunden/Gebundene Ausgabe. …
