Elfriede Jelinek Goes Australia Indigenising an Austrian Nobel Prize Winner By André Bastian
The first volume to focus entirely on the work of Nobel Prize in Literature winner Elfriede Jelinek. This is the first volume entirely published on Jelinek’s work in Australia and gathers a series of analyses around the first-ever production of one of her plays on an Australian stage, in Melbourne, 2011. It discusses questions of the Austrian writer’s complex writing strategies, potential problems of cultural transfer, the international reception of Jelinek’s work, and the contribution her work for theatre can make to a series of fundamental aspects of the global discourse of current times: feminism, sports and racism.

Lost in History Women in Literature and Philosophy By Supakwadee Amatayakul and Ilenia De Bernardis
Deals with the issue of women’s absence from the visible horizons of literature and philosophy. This book explores why and how women authors and philosophers are not included in the literary and philosophical canon. Women authors and philosophers seem to be left out of classes on great literature or the history of philosophy, leaving students with the impression that both literature and philosophy are shaped almost exclusively by men’s hands. The authors examine the sources and consequences of such exclusion and investigate the scholarly movements that have been set in place to rectify women’s absence in these fields.

Explores forty years of writing by Giannina Braschi. Series: Latinx and Latin American Profiles This collection of essays, by fifteen scholars across diverse fields, explores forty years of writing by Giannina Braschi, one of the most revolutionary Latinx authors of her generation. Since the 1980s, Braschi’s linguistic and structural ingenuities, radical thinking, and poetic hilarity have spanned the genres of theatre, poetry, fiction, essay, musical, manifesto, political philosophy, and spoken word. This volume explores how Brasci’s texts shake up our ideas of ourselves and enrich our understanding of how powerful narratives can wake us to our higher expectations.
