Masking the Drama

Women’s Mystery Writing and Migration in the African Diaspora

A Space for Revolution in Aphra Behn’s «The Rover» and «The Feign’d Courtezans»

Using literary criticism, theory, and sociohis toric data, this book brings into conversation black migrations with mystery novels by Afri can American women, novels which explore fully the psychic, economic, and spiritual im pact of mass migratory movements. Diaspora travel has been forced and selected and has extended from the Slave Trade through the contemporary moment, causing the black sub ject to wrestle with motion, the self in motion, the community in motion, the spirit in mo tion, culture in motion, and especially the past in motion. Reviewing these major migratory patterns of Africans to and within the United States from slavery to the present and defin ing the primary tropes and traditions in Afri can American female mystery writing, each subsequent chapter looks intensely at specific figurative locations that could become a re pository for reconstituted dense space in the new world. Detectives as penned by African American women writers sound out and de liberate over the viability of integrated insti tutions, the family, Bohemianism, religion, cities, class consciousness, and finally culture. Courses on African American literature, Afri can American history and culture, detective fiction, urban studies, and women’s studies would find the book instructive.

«Masking the Drama: A Space for Revolution in Aphra Behn’s The Rover and The Feign’d Courtezans» pursues an in-depth investiga tion of the process whereby female identity was performatively negotiated on the Resto ration stage by women playwrights such as Aphra Behn and of how a new articulation of social space contributed to the formation of a potentially emancipatory sense of gendered selfhood understood as a flexible and porous instantiation of performative roles. The au thor interrogates the prominent role played among Restoration women playwrights by the tropes of theatrical performativity as pro viding an alternative path to feminist revi sion and thus offering new perspectives on and challenges to existing scholarship on early modern women’s studies and the status of Aphra Behn studies in this scholarly context and stressing how women challenged, trans gressed and subverted heteropatriarchal nor mativity by stepping outside their allotted so cial roles to appropriate a female space within the public domain of the theatre. From within a widely-argued critical discourse concerning masking and masquerade, the book takes a novel look at Behn’s internal and external mental conditionings, arguing that they still lived on even though the political divisions which had sustained their ideological ration ale were no longer in place.

The Power of Smell in American Literature

Becoming Vampire

Trading Women, Traded Women

Difference and the Vampire in Popular Culture

A Historical Scrutiny of Gendered Trading

Becoming Vampire is an interdisciplinary study of how the figure of the vampire in the twentyfirst century has been used to create and de fine difference, not as either a positive or neg ative attribute, but as a catalyst for change and the exploration of new identity positions. Whilst focusing on the films Let Me In and Let the Right One In to highlight the referential and intertextual nature of the genre itself, it utilises a broad spectrum of methodological approaches to show how the many facets of the vampire can destabilise traditional cate gories of who we are and what we might be come. This volume then provides a timely ex amination of the multifaceted and multiva lent character of the vampire and the possibilities inherent within our interactions with them, making this study a consideration of what we might term ‹vampiric becomings› and an exploration of why the undead ‹crea tures of the night› remain so fascinating to Western culture.

For the scholarly reader it is a truism that trade, in its widest sense (exchange, interchange, deal) is the basis of human society, it is part of the human interaction which is the very texture of society. The French anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss demonstrated in his sem inal essay «The Elementary Structures of Kin ship» that human society relies on the ex change of women by men. But women are not only the passive object of this trade among men. They also try and often succeed in trad ing goods, ideas, and changing their subject position by getting the upper hand in this cru cial exchange. Little attention has been given to genderizing the connection between trade and the British Enlightenment and to its sub sequent influence on women’s history and/or literary or visual representations of women by women or men. The contributors in this collection focus on women as physical or sym bolic traded objects, as subversive women trading in spite of cultural and social stereo types, and as women empowered in the cul tural, political, and social trade.

Odor, Affect, and Social Inequality Offering a thoroughly new approach to Amer ican literature, this book examines the liter ary representation of smell regarding its im pact on establishing and subverting power structures. Although smell carries an enor mous affective potential, it has been largely – but unjustly – overlooked in literary and cul tural studies. Through her innovative close readings of works by authors such as Melville, Whitman, Equiano, Wilkins Freeman, Faulkner, Morrison, or Ellison, the author shows how smell stereotypes are used to discriminate against people and how odor references serve to undermine oppressive power structures. For this purpose, the author traces the cul tural history of odor and combines insights from fields such as critical race, gender, inter sectionality, trauma, and affect theories.

Approaching Transnational America in Performance

Utopian Visions and Revisions

Robinson Crusoe and His Doubles

The volume is uniquely located at the inter disciplinary crossroads of Performance Stud ies and transnational American Studies. As both a method and an object of study, perfor mance deepens our understanding of trans national phenomena and America’s position in the world. The thirteen original contribu tions make use of the field’s vast potential and critically explore a wide array of cultural, po litical, social, and aesthetic performances on and off the stage. They scrutinize transna tional trajectories and address issues central to the American Studies agenda such as rep resentation, power, (ethnic and gender) iden tities, social mobility, and national imaginar ies. As an American Studies endeavor, the vol ume highlights the cultural, political, and (inter)disciplinary implications of perfor mance.

Or the Uses of Ideal Worlds The book focuses on different uses of the con cepts of utopia, dystopia, and anti-utopia. The author analyses literature, cinema, and rock music, as well as scientific and legal motifs in utopian fiction. He also considers the func tions of Jewish characters in early modern utopias and looks at the utopian aspects of sci entific claims of literary and cultural theories. Utopian models are also applied to the prac tice of literature (socialist realism) and cur rent socio-political affairs. Among the texts and films discussed are «Utopia», «New Atlan tis», «Gulliver’s Travels», «Memoirs of Signor Gaudentio di Lucca», «Nineteen Eighty-Four», «A Minor Apocalypse», «Lord of the Flies», and «Even Dwarfs Started Small».

The English Robinsonade of the Eighteenth Century The book is a study of the eighteenth-century English robinsonade, also known as desert is land or castaway narrative. It discusses the pre-history of the genre, the complex multilevel semantics of «Robinson Crusoe», its role in introducing a new mode of meaning for mation combining the conventions of the travel narrative, Providence book, and spir itual autobiography, as well as its functioning as a genre model for later authors. Another important subject is the subsequent process of robinsonade’s simplification by the grad ual elimination of religious meanings and foregrounding the exciting adventures of the protagonists, turning it into a genre of chil dren’s literature.

Variation and Change in Aberdeen English

Production of Emotions

Medicine Matters in Five Comedies of Shakespeare

A Sociophonetic Study

Perspectives and Functions

From the Renaissance Context to a Reading of the Plays

This book is the first major sociophonetic work on the urban accent of Aberdeen in North-East Scotland. The study shows how the accent has changed following the large-scale immigra tion from other parts of Scotland and the UK since the 1970s. It is rooted in a dialect contact framework and based on sociolinguistic in terviews with a stratified sample of 44 Aber donians. The study uses an innovative method to assess the importance of the individual speaker in innovating and conserving the lo cal accent. Based on six phonological varia bles, it shows how the traditional variants are replaced or marginalised, supraregional forms gain ground and strongly marked forms typ ical of Glaswegian or London English are added to the local feature pool.

The essays of this collection are, each in their own way, an attempt to address the central ity of emotions in literary and cultural pro duction in a variety of genres, from medieval moralities to contemporary novels, from Eng lish Romanticism to film studies. Emotions are understood as mobile forms or forces, crossing between subjects and locations. The interdisciplinary and diverse nature of this collection reflects the view that emotions are interpersonal and forever slipping beyond our grasp. Yet, in thinking about emotion, we dis cover unexpected confluences. The contribu tions in this volume are grouped in five areas which reflect larger categories and provide a valid platform for interpretation of emotions: dynamics of modern culture, history, social sciences, interpersonal contexts, and imagi nation.

The book examines the presence of medicine matters in Shakespeare’s The Comedy of Errors, Love’s Labour’s Lost, The Two Gentlemen of Verona, The Taming of the Shrew, and The Merry Wives of Windsor, and documents how the theme of medicine can acquire particular importance for the interpretation of the plays: namely, it matters. Andrea A. Conti provides information on certain aspects of the medi cal context of the Renaissance, effecting the essential connections with previous and sub sequent periods and furnishing the necessary background for the understanding of the state of the art of medicine at the time. Luisa Ca maiora presents a close reading of the come dies, and identifies for each a specific and dom inant medical facet, then proposed as a struc tural key for the analysis of the plays. The medical motifs enucleated determine the crit ical perspective for the discussion of the dra matic characters and events and for the inter pretation of the overall meaning and signifi cance of the single works. Features and references related to the sphere of medicine, identified in the comedies, are also commented upon and examined in the context of this medical reading of the plays.

Literary Creativity and the Older Woman Writer A Collection of Critical Essays Literary studies and their associated critical theories offer a refreshing viewpoint from which humanist-oriented studies of ageing may be re-conceptualized, and an integrated view of ageing and gender can be developed. The present volume builds on the work of sem inal authors in the field of literary gerontol ogy, while it also elaborates on important the ories that age-critics have developed in the broader field of cultural gerontology, to pre sent the experience of ageing, and old age in particular, as a creative phase of the life course that completes the older person’s identity and, specifically, that of the older woman. As a con trast to stereotypical views of ageing women that are still sustained in both gerontological and social domains, the essays in this collec tion focus on the works of eleven women writ ers whose careers were or have been prolonged into their old age, and whose later literary cre ativity reveals fascinating aspects about both the complex, contradictory, and enriching ex perience of growing older, and especially of doing so as an artist and as a woman.

Only Connect E. M. Forster’s Legacies in British Fiction

Serious Fiction

Since Forster’s death in 1970, many British novelists and film directors have acknowl edged and even claimed the influence of the novelist of the English soul (in Woolf’s terms) and of a renewed faith in both human rela tionships and a quintessentially British lib eral-humanism. After the ethical turn at the end of the twentieth century, British litera ture today seems to go back even more dras tically to the figure of the individual human being, and to turn the narrative space into some laboratory of a new form of empower ment of the other’s political autonomy. It is in this context that the references to Forster are more and more frequent, both in British fic tion and in academia. This book does not only aim at spotting and theorising this return to Forster today. Rather we endeavour to trace its genealogy and shed light on the successive modes of the legacy, from Forster’s first novel, Where Angels Fear to Tread (1905) onwards, to the novelisation of Forster himself by Damon Galgut. How can the principle of connection, of correspondences and echoes, which in formed Forster’s private life and approach to writing so much, equally characterise the aes thetic and political influence of his œuvre?

J.M. Coetzee and the Stakes of Literature Serious Fiction explores the novels of J.M. Coet zee, in dialogue with key works of the Euro pean literary tradition and several contem porary masterworks of world literature, in or der to flesh out an ethico-aesthetic ideal for the contemporary novel. «Serious» refers back to the Aristotelian definition of tragedy to re vive a certain communal, political-ethical task of the artwork; «fiction,» also referring back to Aristotle and the subsequent poetic tradi tion, stresses the element of play in the art work in contrast to the seriousness of the world of daily survival, business, and life. Following post-Enlightenment thinkers from Schiller and Arnold to Leavis and Auerbach, as well as more contemporary literary theorists, the ar gument maintains a delicate balance between seriousness as a sort moral criterion of liter ary assessment and playfulness as a neces sary stage in the creation of any artwork, add ing the formal and epistemological obliga tions of the realist novel as the dominant literary genre of the long nineteenth century. Coetzee is presented as a contemporary model of serious fiction writing, balancing elements of realism and play/imagination, tragedy and the prosaic, aesthetic semi-autonomy and eth ical responsibility. Major works by Coetzee are discussed – Waiting for the Barbarian, Life & Times of Michael K., Disgrace, Diary of a Bad Year – as well as other of his works, fictional and non-fictional, along with important tra ditional and contemporary works by Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Joyce, Kakfa, and Beckett as well as Imre Kertész, W.G. Sebald, Eimear McBride, Cormac McCarthy, Jiang Rong, and others.

Lost in Transnation

Therapy Through Faёrie

John Berryman

Alternative Narrative, National, and Historical Visions of the Korean American Subject in Select 20th-Century Korean American Novels

Therapeutic Properties of Fantasy Literature by the Inklings and by U. K. Le Guin

Centenary Essays

This volume examines the engagement with national histories, citizenship, and the larger transnational contexts in the narrative plot lines in selected twentieth-century Korean American novels. Critics have often expected, or even demanded, that the Korean American novel present the ideal and coherent Ameri can citizen-subject in a linear bildungsroman plotline. Many novels—Younghill Kang’s East Goes West, Theresa Hak Kyung Cha’s Dictee, Chang-rae Lee’s A Gesture Life, to name a few— do deal with the idea of an «American iden tity,» however, they consistently problema tize such identification through multiple and conflicting national memories, historic eras, and geopolitical terrains. The novels are typ ically set in contemporary America, but they often refer either to the regional context and era of Japan’s colonization of Korea (1910–1945) or the Korean War (1950–1953). The novels’ characters are «lost in transnation,» contex tualizing the multiple and multiply-interre lated national contexts and time periods that have formed immigrants and Korean Ameri cans in the twentieth century.

This book argues that the fantasy fiction rooted in J. R. R. Tolkien’s concept of Faёrie, as repre sented by the fantasy works of the Inklings and of U. K. Le Guin, has certain psychother apeutic properties. Faёrie’s generic ‹ethos› seems to draw on ‹moral imagination› and on logos (meaning and word), which informs its secondary worlds and encourages a search for an unconditional sense of life, against the postmodern neo-nihilistic aporia. The book postulates an applicability of logotherapy (‹therapy through meaning›, developed after WW2 by Victor Frankl,) to the workings of Faёrie, whose bibliotherapeutic potential rests on its generic marks, identified by Tolkien as Fantasy, Recovery, Escape (breaking free from incarcerating meaninglessness), Consolation, and (cathartic) Eucatastrophe.

Drawing on the proceedings of two confer ences organized to celebrate the centenary of John Berryman’s birth in 2014, John Berryman: Centenary Essays provides new perspectives on a major US American poet’s work by crit ics from Ireland, the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States. In addition to new read ings of important aspects of Berryman’s de velopment – including his creative and schol arly encounters with Shakespeare, Milton, Wordsworth and W. B. Yeats – the book gives fresh accounts of his engagements with con temporaries such as Delmore Schwartz and Randall Jarrell. It also includes essays that ex plore Berryman’s poetic responses to Mozart and his influence on the contemporary Irish poet Paul Muldoon. Making extensive use of unpublished archival sources, personal reflec tions by friends and former students of the poet are accompanied by meditations on Ber ryman’s importance for writers today by awardwinning poets Paula Meehan and Henri Cole. Encompassing a wide range of scholarly per spectives and introducing several emerging voices in the field of Berryman studies, this volume affirms a major poet’s significance and points to new directions for critical study and creative engagement with his work.

Irish Studies and the Dynamics of Memory Transitions and Transformations Irish Studies and the Dynamics of Memory pre sents the latest research from Irish studies scholars across a variety of disciplines, includ ing history, literature, theatre, photography and folklore, and generates new and challeng ing insights into the dynamics of cultural re membrance in Irish society. Featuring contri butions by leading researchers in the field such as Guy Beiner, Graham Dawson and Em ilie Pine, this collection demonstrates how the examination of Irish cultural legacies can illuminate our understanding of processes of identity formation, heritage policies, canon ization, musealization and the transgenera tional and transcultural inflections of the past. Investigating topics such as trauma, contested politics and commemorative practices, and exploring recent theoretical developments, the volume offers an interdisciplinary over view of the recent cross-fertilization between memory studies and Irish studies.

Narrative and Space

Arthur Hugh Clough

Across Short Story Landscapes and Regional Places

The Poetry of a Questioning Spirit

These eight texts deal with different perspec tives on the relation between the regional short story, modernism and space. Seven of them concentrate on short prose (the short story and chronicle) and one deals with the novel. Four of them consider canonical premodernist and modernist Anglo-American authors and the other four Portuguese rustic and modernist short story writers. Their com mon point of departure is the notion that the representation of the world cannot be sepa rated from its spatial context, and the effort to understand how space and landscape influ enced the structure of narratives and were represented in some of them, mainly in short fiction. They draw attention to the importance of the underestimated regionalist short prose narratives, essentially from a comparative lit erary perspective, but also considering cer tain aspects of their social and cultural con nections and dissonances.

This study traces the poetic development of Arthur Hugh Clough through a methodolog ical approach based on close readings of his most important works with separate chapters devoted to the three great poems of his ma turity: The Bothie of Toper-na-Fuosich, Amours de Voyage and Dipsychus. Attention is also given to the socio-cultural context and the re ligious and political debates which contrib uted in shaping Clough’s artistic and ideolog ical vision, particularly through the influen tial figures of Thomas Arnold, John Henry Newman and Ralph Waldo Emerson. That Clough remains to this day one of the most neglected nineteenth-century writers is all the more remarkable given the importance of his intellectual contribution to his times and his radical questioning of religious faith, tra ditional values and poetic norms.

Telling Terror in Contemporary Australian Fiction

Irish Identities and the Great War in Drama and Fiction

After the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, terrorism as a literary theme has flour ished in Australian literature. This book ex amines how terrorism as a theme has been represented in five exemplary novels and elab orates a distinctively Australian approach to the topic. The novels taken into consideration focus on strategies of fictionalisation rather than the actual violence or the threat of it. By doing so, the author argues, Australian liter ature provides a powerful antidote to the wide spread fear of a terrorist attack. Without com peting with media and political sciences, this book underlines the contribution literary stud ies can make to the expanding field of terror ism research.

The era of the First World War represents one of the most turbulent and divisive periods in twentieth-century Irish history. The war is closely connected to the violent path to Irish independence from Britain and, for more than a century, it has brought the complexity of the issue of Irish identity into sharp focus. This study shows how the disparate literary responses of Irish authors to the war and its problematic legacy offer intriguing insights into different concepts of Irish identity, spe cifically those long buried within Irish na tional and historical consciousness. The late re-discovery of these identities in Irish writ ing reveals a modern nation trying to come to terms with its polarised past, seeking a more integrative sense of national self for the twentyfirst century.

Spectrum of Emotions From Love to Grief The authors of this volume discuss the tangi ble need for a revision of the vocabulary of emotion used in literary criticism and culture studies. The articles offer a wide range of in terdisciplinary approaches to emotional states such as love, shame, grief, nostalgia and trauma. They demonstrate that the once stable concept of emotion disintegrates in the course of reevaluation and is replaced by such notions as affects, passions, feelings and emotions. This volume examines the representations of emo tion in drama, poetry and prose – from the anonymous Court of Love (ca. 1500) to Ali Smith’s How to Be Both (2014) – as well as in life writ ing, music, the visual arts and theology.

Frank Confessions

Ghosts – or the (Nearly) Invisible

The Metamorphoses of Lucretia

Performance in the Life-Writings of Frank McCourt

Spectral Phenomena in Literature and the Media

This book aims to redress the critical neglect of Frank McCourt’s life-writing, which has been dismissed all too frequently as «misery memoir» and deemed commercially driven or aesthetically and politically naïve. It reas sesses the life cycle of McCourt’s work, inves tigating the experiences that shaped his de sire to write and demonstrating a nuanced and multifaceted network of stimuli and ref erences. This new approach reimagines Mc Court’s work as a series of complex construc tions that are inherently performative in na ture (including the multiple identities that he assigns himself) and draw on recurrent cli chés and stereotypical characters formed from a medley of literary, theatrical, cinematic and popular performance traditions. The author uncovers reference points, intertexts and sources that McCourt appropriates from the Irish language tradition, storytelling, nation alistic songs, the popular music of New York City, the films of Hollywood, other memoirs, Joycean literature, melodrama and theatre. This dynamic has been recognized by other performance practitioners, and the book also explores how McCourt’s life-writing has in spired creative adaptations for stage and screen.

In this volume, ghost stories are studied in the context of their media, their place in his tory and geography. From prehistory to this day, we have been haunted by our memories, the past itself, by inklings of the future, by events playing outside our lives, and by our selves. Hence the lure of ghost stories through out history and presumably prehistory. Sci ence has been a great destroyer of myth and superstition, but at the same time it has cre ated new black boxes which we are filling with our ghostly imagination. In this book, litera ture from the Middle Ages to Oscar Wilde and Neil Gaiman, children’s stories, folklore and films, ranging from the Antarctic and Russia to Haiti, are covered and show the continuing presence of spectral phenomena.

The virtuous Roman matron Lucretia killed herself in 509 b. C. Her death is considered the cause of the Roman revolt against the Tar quins and the mainspring of the passage from the monarchic to the republican age. It is a myth about private and public dimensions: it tells about woman and revolution. Its themes, permanent features and variations are infi nite. The metamorphoses of Lucretia are in numerable. Nonetheless, she has always pre served her essence and profound meaning, thus confirming her strength and her being a true myth. Lucretia has crossed the centuries, she has been told, painted and sung by artists from 509 b. C. until today. She reached the Eighteenth Century, Italy, Great Britain and Germany and she met three great authors: Carlo Goldoni, Samuel Richardson and Got thold Ephraim Lessing. They chose her and de cided to tell her story, each in his own pecu liar manner. Goldoni wrote a dramma giocoso in musica, Lugrezia Romana in Costantinopoli, Richardson a novel, Clarissa or the History of a Young Lady and Lessing a bürgerliches Trauerspiel entitled Emilia Galotti. One myth, three authors, three different literary genres: this work would like to investigate and verify the connection among them and the meaning of it. The comparative analysis of the metamor phoses of Lucretia will disclose new concepts of private and public, of woman and revolu tion, sprung from an old but perpetual reviv ing myth.

Incarcerated Interactions A Theory-Driven Analysis of Applied Prison Communication Incarcerated Interactions: A Theory-Driven Analysis of Applied Prison Communication is an innovative, applied edited book that uses core interdisciplinary social science theories to analyze and describe the social psychology and sociology of communicative interactions amongst incarcerated individuals. Beginning with the fundamentals of human interactions, this edited volume allows scholars across a variety of disciplines (such as criminology, sociology, communication studies, social psy chology, anthropology, and economics) to be come familiar with and apply the core princi ples and the requisite terminology of human communication within a criminological con text. Each of the four sections of the text not only build upon the knowledge structures of previous chapters, but also function as standalone analyses and/or applications of extant scholarship within essential contexts. From a general discussion of core social science the ory to the specific application of that theory in a range of scholarly contexts, this book ad dresses relevant issues such as mental illness and wellness, the gendered experience of in mates, recidivism rates, violence, the crimi nogenic effect of incarceration and the largescale implications of prison gangs and their associated cultural influence, to name a few.

Becoming Fiction

Yellow Fever Years

Reassessing Atheism in Dürrenmatt’s «Stoffe»

An Epidemiology of NineteenthCentury American Literature and Culture

Becoming Fiction: Reassessing Atheism in Dürrenmatt’s Stoffe sets forth a clarification of the importance of Friedrich Dürrenmatt, modern Swiss dramatist, essayist, novelist and self-proclaimed atheist (1921–1990), and offers new insights into the ways in which his father’s vocation as a Protestant minister, along with Dürrenmatt’s own decision as a young man to pursue a career in writing rather than religion, shaped his world view and, in particular, made necessary a final, desperate attempt to fictionally recast his own life through revisions and amplifications of many of his earlier works when he created his final prose volume, Stoffe. Dürrenmatt devoted im mense energy in his writings to wrestling with his father’s God as a way of seeking self-iden tity. That perceived loss of his father’s esteem became the motor behind his works. After ear lier successes, the icy reception of his most ambitious play, Der Mitmacher, in 1976, left the author in such a frustrated state of disap pointment that he reached a point of linguis tic breakdown. This book contends that Dür renmatt’s loss of voice forced the author to a new kind of writing: a ‹re-turn› home. Becoming Fiction explores the damage caused by Dürrenmatt’s inability to express his most central beliefs through the outdated, decep tive modes of linguistic thought and tradi tion. Consequently, the book argues, at the point of that breakdown of rigid linguistic and theological concepts, a space was forced open, and the Stoffe reveal a Divine presence.

Exploring the nexus of American Studies and the Medical Humanities, this book examines the interdisciplinary interfaces between dis ease and American cultures and literatures. It traces the appropriation of yellow fever to legitimize the young nation and its embed dedness in discourses of race and gender from the late 18th until the end of the 19th century. Previously untapped textual and visual ar chives provide a heterogeneous base of ca nonical as well as previously disregarded works that are analyzed for yellow fever’s metaphor ical and actual potential of risk and crisis. As a literary history of yellow fever epidemics, it firmly establishes the ideological, socio-po litical, visual, and cultural processing of the disease, which figures as invasive, inexplica ble Other. Yellow Fever Years has received the Peter Lang Nachwuchspreis 2015.

Constructing Identity

Reflections

Continuity, Otherness and Revolt in the Poetry of Tony Harrison

Virginia Woolf and Her Quaker Aunt, Caroline Stephen

The author analyzes the multi-layered and multidimensional theme of identity construc tion recurring in Tony Harrison’s work from the seventies onwards looking at the way it evolved throughout the years. The book ex amines identity in the frame of the sociolog ical and philosophical thoughts of such think ers as Emmanuel Levinas and Zygmunt Bau man and in reference to the systematization proposed by Zbigniew Bokszański: identity as a state or process, identity as a continuity or change, and identity as a consequence of con formity or revolt.

This iconoclastic study compares the lives and works of Virginia Woolf and her Quaker aunt, Caroline Stephen, to suggest that Woolf was more deeply influenced by a sense of mysti cism than she was by her father’s atheism. An yone interested in Woolf, Quaker studies, Brit ish Modernism, Christianity, and women’s studies would find much here to challenge as sumptions.

Motherhood and Self-Realization in the Four Waves of American Feminism and Joyce Carol Oates’s Recent Fiction

Moving Toward Redemption

‹Slight Return›

Spirituality and Disability in the Late Writings of Andre Dubus (1936–1999)

Paul Muldoon’s Poetics of Place

The author examines motherhood and female self-realization in feminist discourse and Joyce Carol Oates’s recent fiction. While the first and second wave of feminism repudiated moth erhood, the third wave claimed the right to enjoy it. The present fourth wave is now re viving the reservations about motherhood of the first two waves. This book demonstrates how Oates’s writing reflects these shifts and how Oates takes up and transforms feminist standpoints in her work without writing con ventional feminist literature. Literary criti cism has only marginally dealt with Oates’s mother figures. Drawing on Gender Studies and, in particular, on the transnational rela tion between French and American feminism, this book fills this gap.

American short-story writer Andre Dubus (1936–1999) was a «writer’s writer.» His ac claimed collections of short stories and essays involve one or all of three thematic discourses— that of the Catholic Church as center of mean ing and value, the symbolic and healing power of rites and ritual on the human heart, and the ethical and spiritual dilemmas that drive human experience. «Like Chekhov’s,» reports the Village Voice, «Dubus’s best stories con tain the arc of a whole life in the language of specific moments.» Tobias Wolff summarized, «Andre Dubus is a master.» In 1986, however, Dubus lost the use of his legs when he at tempted to help a stranded motorist on the highway. The spiritual, physical and emotional suffering which ensued kept him from writ ing for a time but eventually led to his author ing 17 stories before his death in 1999. Moving Toward Redemption is a critical six-chapter study of these stories as they are united as capstones to his previous work, as they par ticipate in the Catholic cycle of sin, suffering and sacramentality, and as they individually address the various transformations of his life in the aftermath of the accident. Moving Toward Redemption is the only book on Du bus’s writing since Thomas Kennedy’s A Study of the Short Fiction (1988). It is designed for use in courses on short fiction, religion and liter ature, life writing, genre study, and disability studies. It suggests ways to negotiate the con flicts and tensions between Christian and sec ular approaches to disability studies.

This volume examines the relationship be tween poetic language and place in the work of Paul Muldoon. Through a close reading of the formal and stylistic aspects of his poems, the book explores the question of how poetry as an art form can be engaged to map the com plex exchanges between language and the ma terial, phenomenal, personal and social di mensions of our sense of place. In particular, it demonstrates how various forms of repeti tion and return, in language and memory, are crucial to Muldoon’s approach to place and landscape. Each chapter focuses on a specific aspect of the poet’s work: the naming of place; the genre of the long poem; poetry, music and nostalgia; and, finally, the place of poetry in the information age.

‹Inspiring a Mysterious Terror›

The Writing of Terrorism: Contemporary American Fiction and Maurice Blanchot

200 Years of Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu Best known for his Gothic masterpiece Uncle Silas and the vampire story Carmilla, Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu was a prolific writer whose extensive body of work included historical, sensation and horror novels, poems and bal lads, numerous stories of the supernatural, journalism and a verse-drama. While his name is well known to aficionados of the horror genre, much of his work still remains in the shadows. Indeed, despite his vampire creation, Carmilla, being the best-known female blood-sucker in the world, and despite an enormous scholarly and popular interest in the novella in which this character first appeared (an interest evi dent in the very large number of cinematic, tel evisual and even new media adaptations of the story), Le Fanu himself is almost completely unknown outside of the world of Irish Gothic scholarship, and most of his fiction remains difficult to obtain or is out of print. To celebrate the bicentenary of Le Fanu’s birth, this collec tion brings together established scholars and emerging researchers in order to shed new light on some of his less famous fiction and celebrate his influential contribution to the Gothic genre. The main aim of the collection is to read Le Fanu in the round, expanding the critical fo cus away from its current obsession with a small proportion of his work and taking ac count of the full extent of his writing, from his other Gothic novels, The Rose and the Key, Haunted Lives and A Lost Name, to his short sto ries and journalism. The collection also con siders Le Fanu’s relationship to Victorian Ire land and especially Dublin from a number of different angles, as well as addressing his sta tus as an ‘Irish’ writer of substance.

Terrorism has long been a popular subject for American fiction writers. This book argues that terrorism in 1990s novels by Paul Auster, Philip Roth, and Bret Easton Ellis serves as a key trope to interrogate the limits of writing and the power of literature. Based on the com plex literary and philosophical thought of Maurice Blanchot, this study deals with the writer’s terrorist temptation, language’s in vestment in violence, and literature’s negoti ation of radical alterity. Auster’s, Roth’s, and Elllis’s novels elucidate contemporary politi cal and economic developments as well as our cultural fear of, and fascination with, terror ism. The writing of terrorism can thus become the foundation of a different politics where, according to Maurice Blanchot, «there is no explosion except a book.»

«Autre»-Biography Poetics of Self in J. M. Coetzee’s Fictionalized Memoirs This study explores the poetics and politics of self in J. M. Coetzee’s «autre»-biographical works «Scenes from Provincial Life». The au thor provides a detailed analysis of Coetzee’s conception of self in his fictionalized mem oirs, as well as of philosophical, aesthetic and political implications of «autre»-biography. She reads these works as literary figurations of an estranged self, maintaining that they engage with deeply historical but also univer sal questions of the relation between self and power. Coetzee’s fictionalized memoirs, she argues, are thus not merely dramatizations of the inherent elusiveness of the self but a critique of systems and discourses of norma tivization and oppression.

From Individual to Collective Virginia Woolf’s Developing Concept of Consciousness This book argues that a profound shift can be found in the works of Virginia Woolf, from an early «pursuit of the individual» to a late «pur suit of the collective». Evidence for this shift is found both in the narrative modes she em ployed and the methods by which thought is represented in the works themselves, and in ideas and ruminations found in Woolf’s dia ries and essays. The stylistic analysis covers works from The Voyage Out (1915) to the post humously published Between the Acts (1941), and shows how several of the shorter pieces can be considered to be experiments with techniques that were fully employed in Woolf’s longer, major fictions. This shift arises from changes in Woolf’s concept of the conscious and unconscious over time, and the argument shows how she took deliberate steps to reflect these changes in her fiction. This framework provides key insights for new interpretations of her works.

Sectarian and Sexual Lines in Indian Writing in English

Angela Carter’s ‹Discourse of Delight› in her Fiction and Non-Fiction

This book offers a new, complex understand ing of Indian writing in English by focusing its analysis on both Indo-Pakistani Partition fiction and novels written by women. The au thor gives a comprehensive outline of Parti tion novels in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh written in English as well as an overview of the challenges of studying Partition litera ture, particularly English translations of Par tition novels in regional languages. Featured works include Salman Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children, Bapsi Sidhwa’s Ice-Candy-Man, Am itav Ghosh’s Shadow Lines, Meena Arora Nay ak’s About Daddy, and Sujata Sabnis’s A Twist in Destiny. The book then moves on to a study of novels by women writers such as Githa Har iharan, Kiran Desai, Anita Desai, and Arund hati Roy, exploring their perspectives on sex uality, the body, and the diaspora.

The book demonstrates the thematic unity underlying Angela Carter’s fiction and nonfiction. The author analyzes their interdepend ence and demonstrates how Carter’s texts per sistently examine existing theories of pleas ure from many different angles. In this way, Carter’s works enter into dialogue with nu merous pleasure connoisseurs, theorists as well as writers. The author determines the no tion of ‹pleasure› is both the key to account ing for the heterogeneity of Carter’s output, as well as the common denominator of all her diverse fascinations. This is an issue that re mains unaccounted for in criticism to date.

From Parchment to Cyberspace argues the case for studying high-resolution digital images of original manuscripts to analyze medieval lit erature. By presenting a rigorous philosoph ical argument for the authenticity of such im ages (a point disputed by digital skeptics) the book illustrates how digitization offers schol ars innovative methods for comparing man uscripts of vernacular literature—such as The Romance of the Rose or texts by Christine de Pizan—that reveal aspects of medieval cul ture crucial to understanding the period.

William T. Vollmann, «The Rifles»: A Critical Study This study of a novel by William T. Vollmann offers a port of entry into his fiction. Like other titles from his planned «Seven Dreams» col lection, The Rifles deconstructs the historical novel. Following in the steps of the nineteenthcentury English explorer John Franklin, the contemporary American character Subzero risks his life in the Arctic, looking for a way to transcend the history of colonization and his personal limitations. He ventures out on the permafrost of his memory, both private and collective, haunted by history as he revisits the Gothic genre. Deploying the poetry of an anachronistic errand into the white wilder ness of snow and ice, in the wake of Herman Melville’s Captain Ahab and Edgar Allan Poe’s Arthur Gordon Pym, the narrator plays with avatars of the author as an explorer, a histo rian, a cartographer and a sketch-artist to en counter otherness, whether Inuit women or men, or fellow travelers who exchange with the authorial figure in his search for mean ing. This critical analysis uses close-reading, ecocriticism, cultural studies and compara tive literature to examine an innovative novel of the post-postmodern canon, by one of the finest contemporary American authors.

This book explores environmental issues in Canada employing an interdisciplinary ap proach. It adopts several reading frameworks, encompassing the fields of literature, ecocrit icism, linguistics, tourism, social sciences, ar chitecture and geography. It investigates the keyword ‹green› from a multiplicity of per spectives, including the voice of Cree writer Louise B. Halfe/Sky Dancer. Thus, green should be seen as one of the main symbolic colours which define contemporary Canadian iden tity. Its six sections address intertwined is sues such as the preservation and annihila tion of the green landscape, the re-rooting of indigenous worldviews, the impact of Italian rural traditions in urban Canada, the influ ence of contemporary literary landscapes, the language of green in tourism and linguistics. At the end of the volume, Margaret Atwood’s recent writings are considered as playing a crucial role in the new consciousness of green Canada.

Cultural Hybrids of (Post) Modernism Japanese and Western Literature, Art and Philosophy Cultural Hybrids of (Post)Modernism starts from the premise that the literary-cultural milieu we live in is characteristically hybrid. To develop that premise, the present volume focuses on explaining the strong impact that Japanese culture, especially Japanese aesthet ics, bore on Western intellectuals, Modernist literary writers and artists from the second half of the nineteenth century onwards, and, conversely, the impact of Western modernity on Japanese cultural modernization from the Meiji Era onwards. Such intercultural contact has brought on a renewal of cultural formats that can be explained in terms of hybridity as regards both the aesthetic and the intellec tual production of the artists and thinkers from Japan and the West throughout the twen tieth century and to the present. The outcome of modernization was the creation of new cul tural standards in Japan and the West and, with it, new ways of understanding pedagogy and education, a reconceptualization of the Nation versus the individual, a redefinition of the role of women in modernizing society, also a revision of philosophical thought and a new approach to the role of linguistic signs in the production of meaning.

Geoffrey Hill

Hemispheric Encounters

The Drama of Reason Geoffrey Hill (1932–2016) was often hailed as one of the most important – and one of the most difficult – poets of his lifetime. This book is a timely investigation into a writer whose work seems simultaneously to invite analy sis and to refuse explanations of its sensuous, allusive language. It provides an introduction to Hill’s work for readers coming to it for the first time and offers an account of his poetics that will be of interest to his more experienced readers. Alongside many close readings of po ems spanning Hill’s long and varied career, the author brings to light findings from the Geoffrey Hill Archive in Leeds and investi gates the poet’s important critical writings. Hill’s often antagonistic engagement with the thought of other poets and philosophers sup plies the book’s structure. Coleridge, Eliot, F. H. Bradley and Ezra Pound are engaged by Hill in a dramatic contest over what the author claims is his visionary aim for poetry: the re alisation of the objective conditions of judge ment. Above all, Hill is presented as a quintes sentially modernist poet – at odds with mo dernity, and at the same time creating a language answerable to its rich, traumatic complexity.

The Early United States in a Transnational Perspective In the decades following the American Revo lution, literary and cultural discourses, but also American collective and individual iden tification were shaped by transatlantic rela tions and inter-American exchanges and con flicts. The way Americans defined themselves as a nation and as individuals was shaped by such historical events and social issues as the Haitian Revolution, the struggles for inde pendence in Spanish America, ties with Car ibbean slave economies, and rivalries with other colonial powers in the Americas. Con textualizing transatlantic and inter-Ameri can relations within a framework of the West ern Hemisphere, the essays collected in this volume discuss inter-American relations in the early United States, and in American, Eu ropean and Spanish-American writing of the period.

The Apology for Catholicism in Selected Writings by G. K. Chesterton This book focuses on G. K. Chesterton’s apol ogy for Catholicism in the context of his ep och. It shows how he portrays Catholicism as English and universal at the same time and thus seeks to put an end to its isolation from England’s mainstream culture. Organized around four thematic issues (transcendence, mystical materialism, valuation of the child like, and universality), the book illustrates Chesterton’s case for Catholicism as a case for romance and adventure, and as a challenge to modern modes of thought inimical to Catho lic Christianity.

The Colours of the Past in Victorian England

In Search of a Dream America

Evaluating Bilingual Education in Germany

The experience of colour underwent a signif icant change in the second half of the nine teenth century, as new coal tar-based syn thetic dyes were devised for the expanding textile industry. These new, artificial colours were often despised in artistic circles who fa voured ancient and more authentic forms of polychromy, whether antique, medieval, Re naissance or Japanese. However faded, ancient hues were embraced as rich, chromatic alter natives to the bleakness of industrial moder nity, fostering fantasized recreations of an idealized past. The interdisciplinary essays in this collec tion focus on the complex reception of the colours of the past in the works of major Vic torian writers and artists. Drawing on close analyses of artworks and literary texts, the contributors to this volume explore the mul tiple facets of the chromatic nostalgia of the Victorians, as well as the contrast between an cient colouring practices and the new sciences and techniques of colour.

Place in the Life Writing of Eastern European Immigrants This book explores immigrant life writing and examines the complex relationship between the America imagined in the dreams of wouldbe immigrants and their ability to establish connections to actual places in America. The authors discussed in the book (Vasily Aksy onov, Mary Antin, Eva Hoffman, Edward Li monov, and Miriam Potocky-Tripodi) come to North America from different places in East ern Europe and publish their books at differ ent times of the 20th century, but for all of them an attachment to the new place begins before emigration. The initial stages of this process are imaginative – learning and dream ing about America, visualizing it as an ideal place – and the immigrants’ encounter with their new country is mediated by this ideal ized image of America. Although some immi grant autobiographers profess an immediate bonding to American places, the texts exam ined in this book demonstrate that the pro cess of claiming a new place as one’s own is often rife with ambiguities and setbacks. Only by negotiating the gap between the dream and the encountered America can an immigrant begin to feel at home in the new place. At the same time, the bond to the home country can never be severed, and that rejected place be comes a reference point for comparisons or even a model for organizing the new environ ment. Briefly stated, immigrants maintain at tachments to multiple places – physical, im agined, and remembered.

CLIL Students’ General English Proficiency, EFL Self-Concept and Interest The author uses a theoretical account rooted in TEFL, language acquisition and educational psychology to provide the basis for the devel opment of a comprehensive model of language learning in CLIL. It incorporates prior knowl edge, EFL self-concept, interest in EFL classes, verbal cognitive abilities and contact to Eng lish. This model is used to estimate the effects of CLIL in the context of high-intensity pro grammes at German Gymnasien. The statisti cal evaluation of the quasi-experimental data from 1,000 learners proves the existence of large initial differences due to selection, prep aration and class composition effects. After two years, one finds no significant effects of CLIL apart from a minor increase in self-con cept, suggesting that the actual effects of CLIL have often been overestimated.

Gendered Masks of Liminality and Race Black Female Trickster’s Subversion of Hegemonic Discourse in African American Women Literature Shape shifters, purveyors of chaos, rules’ break ers, crude creatures and absurd figures, trick sters can be traced as recurrently transgres sive figures that do not wither away with time. Tricksters rove and ramble in the pages of lit erature; the canon is replete with tricksters who throw dust in the eyes of their dupes and end up victoriously. But what if the trickster is African American? And a female? And an African American female? This book limits the focus to this figure as delineated in the writings of: Zora Neale Hurston, Alice Walker, Audre Lorde and Toni Morrison. The black fe male trickster’s battles provoke unique strat egies of tricksterism. Her liminal positional ity is distinguished for she occupies myriad peripheries in terms of class, race and gender; in addition to her social oppressions, and car rying within a legacy of African spirituality and an excruciating history of slavery. The black female trickster subverts hegemonic discourse individualistically; through tricks, she emerges as a victim who refuses victimi zation, disturbs the status quo and challenges many conventions.

Negotiating Gender and Sexuality in Contemporary Turkey Turkey is often visualized as a modern nationstate having a perfect balance of Eastern and Western cultural mores and traditions within dominant ideological constructions and rep resentations, but on closer inspection, one can detect conflicts and contradictions within various texts – particularly in regards to de pictions of gender and sexual identity. Upon its foundation as a nation, Turkey embarked on a state-centered, elite-driven path toward modernization and Westerniza tion while also seeking to produce a monolithic culture. At the time, it was widely believed that Turkey could not rank among modern, West ern countries without the emancipation of women. As a result of the founding of the Re public and Turkey’s quest for a unified culture, women were granted a number of legal rights and enjoined to take up their place in the pub lic sphere. In recent years, this model of state-centered secular modernity and state feminism has come under intense scrutiny and criticism as Islam ists, Kurds, feminists, and others demand their claims for recognition and force a rethinking of current understandings of Turkish identity and subjectivity, specifically regarding gender and the place and role of women in society. These controversies, contradictions, and ambiguities are reflected in women’s lives and are waged by various factions over women’s bodies within ideological constructions of identity and this study seeks to examine these disjunctures and contradictions as reflected in modern Turkish literature and culture.

From Orientalism to Cultural Capital

Shame, Masculinity and Desire of Belonging

The Myth of Russia in British Literature of the 1920s

Reading Contemporary Male Writers

From Orientalism to Cultural Capital presents a fascinating account of the wave of Russo philia that pervaded British literary culture in the early twentieth century. The authors bring a new approach to the study of this pe riod, exploring the literary phenomenon through two theoretical models from the so cial sciences: Orientalism and the notion of «cultural capital» associated with Pierre Bourdieu. Examining the responses of lead ing literary practitioners who had a signifi cant impact on the institutional transmission of Russian culture, they reassess the mechan ics of cultural dialogism, mediation and ex change, casting new light on British percep tions of modernism as a transcultural artis tic movement and the ways in which the literary interaction with the myth of Russia shaped and intensified these cultural views.

This study considers male shame in contem porary writing by men, examining why shame is often considered a female emotion and therefore denied in men. The author’s com parative approach to the private experience of shame in novels by Hanif Kureishi, Philip Roth and Hubert Klimko-Dobrzaniecki dem onstrates the extent to which shame condi tions male behaviour, protecting the power ful hierarchies existing between different kinds of masculinities. Using different con ceptual analyses, the author exposes the dam aging nature of the culturally sanctioned de mand that men be «real men», which is often simply a call for violence. The book also ex amines shame more broadly as a means of so cial control, whether of women in patriarchal cultures or of people of different ethnic, sex ual and class identities. Treating shame as both an individual and a social emotion, the author draws on perspectives from scholar ship on shame in postcolonial, gender and feminist studies.

The main purpose of this volume is to look into a wide spectrum of artistic ventures which cross boundaries and challenge habitual thinking, consequently involving an ele ment of provocation. While it is true that not all great art is provocative, the most memo rable artefacts are these which have con founded our aesthetic expectations or stirred our moral imagination. However, as the turn of the millennium witnessed ever more shock ing artistic gestures of provocation, the ques tion arises if there are any limits to artistic freedom. The essays collected in this book of fer a truly interdisciplinary perspective and deal with creative acts of transgression from a broad range of fields: literature, theatre, vis ual art, film, anthropology, and others. This volume will appeal to readers interested in artistic and academic pursuits that are sub versive and irreverent.

Joseph Conrad ingeniously buried images from Polish literature and culture into his works. Once recognized, these references alter the accepted meanings of the texts. In an inter view that was published in Kuryer Polski (in the then Polish city of Ostrawa, now in the Czech Republic) on 26 August 1915, Conrad himself declared about the nineteenth-cen tury Polish poets: «Krasiński, Mickiewicz and Słowacki. Their words are everything for me. I was raised and formed by them.» Yet, the Pol ish sources deeply rooted in Conrad’s works have been scantily acknowledged and hardly explored, although notable intertextual the orists have argued that the ultimate under standing of the text comes from the intertext(s). The first part of this book analyzes Conrad’s first novel, Almayer’s Folly, and four of his greatest works: Lord Jim, Nostromo, The Secret Agent and Under Western Eyes. Unearthing the cache of Polish references in these works en hances our intellectual and aesthetic appre ciation of Conrad as an artist par excellence. The signs recall literary and artistic works as well as aspects of social behavior, as Kristeva and Riffaterre explain. Bloom provides addi tional insight regarding the writer’s struggle to supersede his predecessors. The second part of the book looks at two autobiographical works: A Personal Record and A Familiar Preface.

Parody was a crucial technique for the satirists and novelists associated with the Scriblerus Club. The great eighteenth-century wits (Alex ander Pope, John Gay, Henry Fielding, Laurence Sterne) often explored the limits of the ugly, the droll, the grotesque and the insane by mocking, distorting and deconstructing mul tiple discourses, genres, modes and methods of representation. This book traces the conti nuity and difference in parodic textuality from Pope to Sterne. It focuses on polyphony, inter textuality and deconstruction in parodic gen res and examines the uses of parody in such texts as «The Beggar’s Opera», «The Dunciad», «Joseph Andrews» and «Tristram Shandy». The book demonstrates how parody helped the modern novel to emerge as a critical and ar tistically self-conscious form.

Irish Diasporic Narratives in Argentina

Studies in the Translations of Juan Ramón and Zenobia Jiménez

A Reconsideration of Home, Identity and Belonging Departure from Ireland has long occupied a contradictory position in Irish national dis course, alternately viewed as exile or betrayal. This book analyses how departure, as well as notions of home, identity and return, is ar ticulated in the narratives of three members of the Irish diaspora community in Argentina: John Brabazon’s journal The Customs and Habits of the Country of Buenos Ayres from the year 1845 by John Brabazon and His Own Adventures; William Bulfin’s series of sketches for The Southern Cross newspaper, later published as Tales of the Pampas (1900) and Rambles in Eirinn (1907); and Kathleen Nevin’s fictional mem oir, You’ll Never Go Back (1946). The book ex amines the extent to which each writer up holds or contests hegemonic constructions of Irishness, as well as exploring how they nego tiate the dual identity of emigrant and poten tial returnee. Each of the three writers, to var ying degrees, challenges the orthodox posi tionings of the Irish diaspora subject as backward-looking and the Irish emigrant as bound to the national territory. Furthermore, they construct multiple subject positions and contradictory notions of Irishness: national, essentialist and homogeneous versus trans national, diverse and plural. Ultimately, their writings contribute to a rich and nuanced re imagining of the Irish emigrant identity.

The translations by Juan Ramón Jiménez, first resident of the Caribbean to win the Nobel Prize for Literature, have been neglected, likely because many of them were published under the name of his wife, Zenobia Camprubí Aymar, along with many of his poems. Close analysis of the style, along with personal letters and diaries, reveals his significant participation in these works. The translations were a cru cial source of psychological and financial sup port during the long exile from Spain after the Civil War. Other elements in the process were the Nobel-winners Rabindranath Tagore, William Butler Yeats, and André Gide. Inter textual incorporations from Shakespeare, the King James Bible, Rubén Darío, and Ezra Pound are noteworthy, as Juan Ramón and Zenobia maneuvered between the Symbolist and Im agist poetic movements, experimenting with different theories of translation, from Dryden to Jakobson. As Jiménez constantly revised his own work, hitherto unpublished annota tions prove important to understanding this journey.

Literary and cultural forays into the contemporary This book offers a collection of essays in liter ary and cultural studies. The articles explore a wide range of distinct problems and texts with the aim to question the already known and to interrogate the realms of ethics, liter ature, history and cultural identities. The con tributors not only revive the meanings and values as they were lived at the time of creat ing the specific works, but also point to the ways in which these meanings continue to function for contemporary readers.

Identity Trouble

The Early Modern Stage-Jew

Fragmentation and Disillusionment in the Works of Guy de Maupassant

Heritage, Inspiration, and Concepts – With the first edition of Nathaniel Wiburne’s «Machiavellus»

Images of The Apocalypse in African American Blues and Spirituals

In this book, Eva Yampolsky explores the ques tions of identity, illusion and suicide in the works of Guy de Maupassant. Utilizing a historical con text which stimulated numerous social, tech nological and scientific transformations and de velopments during the 19th century, Dr. Yam polsky identifies two defining aims. Firstly, she examines the various figures of the double, and the relation between self-perception and social norms. She seeks to show the complex and of ten conflicting relation between the individual and society, and more specifically the attempts and frequent failures to manipulate, control and embody a unique definition of self. This diver gence between the social norms, such as class, profession, gender and honor, and the charac ters’ notion of self is what drives the narrative. Secondly, Eva Yampolsky analyzes the conse quent psychological turmoil, madness and even suicide of many Maupassantian characters. This book draws on the social, political and economic revolutions that redefined the individual. New forms of visual representation and communi cation, namely with the invention of photogra phy and the developments of the press, bring forth questions of authenticity, doubling, and a new distinction between private and public spheres. Finally, the birth of psychiatry at the turn of the 19th century and the emergence of new disciplines, such as sociology and psycho analysis, inscribe passions, illusions and suicide in new discursive and disciplinary frameworks. These transformations and developments are pervasive and, in many cases, explicit in Mau passant’s work, influences that have aided and nourished the literary analysis of his texts.

This book investigates the contemporary con ceptions of the Jewish figure on the Elizabe than and Jacobean stage. Taking on what has been said about Shakespeare’s Shylock and Marlowe’s Barabas in the last centuries, the author analyses seven other, largely ignored plays to enhance the image we have today of the early modern stage-Jew. In tracing the im age of Jewish figures in medieval literature and in early modern travel reports, the foun dation of the Elizabethan idea of ‹Jewishness› is laid out. Further, the author challenges some arguments which have become axio matic over time, such as the notion of the redhaired, hook-nosed comical villain. The book also contains a first edition of the Latin uni versity play «Machiavellus» by Nathaniel Wiburne, accomplished by Michael Becker and Saskia Zinsser-Krys.

Destruction in this Land This book explores the recurrence of Apoca lyptic motifs and imagery in blues and spir ituals recorded by blues musicians. It looks at the ways in which Black Americans portray Apocalypse ideas about the Last Judgement from the Book of Revelation. It also focuses on how literary themes in spirituals and blues depict the destruction of the world, death, Christian judgement, heaven and catastrophic events in personal lives of African Americans that result in loss. Selected blues lyrics and texts of spirituals show the persistence of these themes. The book was written with a broad potential audience in mind especially among those interested in religion, eschatol ogy, spirituals, blues and African American studies.

Navid Kermani

Jessica Macauley

Forces of Ambiguity Life, Death, Disease and Eros in Thomas Mann’s «Der Zauberberg»

Navid Kermani – author, journalist and aca demic – is one of the most prominent public intellectuals in Germany today. Kermani has been at the forefront of recent debates about Islam and its role in Germany’s political, so cial and cultural life. Instead of emphasizing the differences between ethnic affiliations and religious beliefs, Kermani questions the West ern notion of a clear dividing line between Is lam, Christianity and Judaism, highlighting instead their affinities. In addition to his po litical essays, Kermani’s travel journalism in troduces western audiences to diverse Mus lim societies in the world and his fiction pro vides accessible meditations on first love, contemporary music, death and friendship. This is the first volume of criticism in English dedicated to Kermani’s varied work. The book features an extensive interview with the au thor, a reproduction in German and English of Kermani’s famous 2014 Bundestag speech and a collection of critical essays on Kerma ni’s writing. The essays, by major scholars in the field, cover issues such as gender, religion, cosmopolitanism, mystical experiences, and the power of the liberal arts in a time of neo liberal distraction.

Thomas Mann’s novel Der Zauberberg (1913– 1924) illustrates a change in the author’s con ceptions of life, death, disease and Eros fol lowing World War I. Set in a Swiss tuberculo sis sanatorium, the novel’s main protagonist, Hans Castorp, comes into contact with three pedagogic figures who each represent a dif ferent attitude towards these themes. The hu manist Settembrini, for example, affirms life but is repulsed by Eros, disease and death; the Jesuit ascetic Naphta glorifies erotic suffering and death while denying life; and the coffee magnate Peeperkorn celebrates life and Eros – yet to a pathological extent. This book relies on intertextual theory to examine the rela tion of these conceptions of life, death, dis ease and Eros within the novel to the thought of Novalis, Arthur Schopenhauer, Friedrich Nietzsche and Sigmund Freud. Exploring the dialogic clash of their conceptions together with the sociological implications of their work, this author investigates how the rela tionships between Der Zauberberg and the in tertexts influence the reader’s interpretation of the nature of life, death, disease and Eros as well as the effect they have on the culture depicted in the novel.

How does the experience of travel transform culture over time? This question is at the heart of this book, which brings together two main areas of scholarship: the cultural analysis of German literature and film and the emerging field of mobilities studies, which places move ment and travel at the centre of human expe rience. The author grounds her analysis in two main concepts or ways of being: dwelling, or remaining in one place, which connotes sta bility, groundedness and permanence; and mobility, or travel to other destinations, which connotes movement, change and uncertainty. Travel Texts and Moving Cultures provides a comparison of travel writing from two signifi cant periods of global social change: historical (1770–1830) and contemporary (1985–2010). The study includes literature such as Georg Forster’s A Voyage Round the World (1777), which recounts the young German scientist’s journey to New Zealand with Captain Cook; Erich Loest’s Zwiebelmuster [Blue Onion] (1985), which exposes the travel desires of East Germans before the Wende via a semi-autobiographical narrator; and Bern hard Schlink’s Die Heimkehr [Homecoming] (2006), which recontextualises and deconstructs Hom er’s Odyssey in the present moment through a son’s search for his father. Whereas a culture founded on mobilities and a desire for travel emerges in the historical period, the contempo rary period reveals an increasingly mobile world in which travel is regarded as a human right.

Andreas Dresen

Evelyn Grill’s «The Antwerp Testament»

Andreas Dresen is a leading European film maker whose œuvre now spans three decades and includes some of the most acclaimed Ger man films of recent times, such as Halbe Treppe (Grill Point, 2002), Sommer vorm Balkon (Sum mer in Berlin, 2005) and Halt auf freier Strecke (Stopped on Track, 2011). The essays collected in this volume by leading scholars from the USA, UK and Ireland place him in the tradi tion of auteur cinema while emphasising his roots in the pre-1990 film industry of DEFA in the GDR. Dresen works with an established team of performers, technicians and script writers, uses improvisation and non-profes sional actors, and makes music and song an integral component of many of his films. He is a scholar-filmmaker who pushes at the boundaries of his chosen modes and genres (documentary, neo-realism, films about films or literary adaptation); he is socially commit ted, casting a Brechtian eye on interpersonal encounters in neoliberal environments; and he is always interested to tell universal sto ries from the localities he knows best, the working-class milieus of Germany’s east.

Translated and with an Afterword by Jean M. Snook The Antwerp Testament is Evelyn Grill’s long est book to date and her most complex. It shows those who were damaged and dislocated by World War II rebuilding their lives on two con tinents. The male protagonist, Ulrich, a Ger man who was seriously wounded in the war, has the misfortune of marrying into a British family that practices psychological warfare. But the sinister plots devised by humans pale in comparison to the bitter blows dealt by fate. Rife with irony, replete with doubling, this cleverly constructed novel will occupy your thoughts for a long time after you have fin ished reading it. Despite dire events, the novel is not devoid of humor. Grill has fun with it, right down to the leitmotivs: white lilies and yellow roses. The theme of correspondence runs through the novel. It is the topic of Ul rich’s lengthy doctoral dissertation, and the means through which he keeps in touch with friends and relatives who fled Nazi Germany and settled in Toronto and New York, the means through which their stories continue. By co incidence, and correspondence, the transla tor knew and remained in contact with the main character for 34 years.

Sharing Perspectives on EnglishMedium Instruction English is increasingly used as a medium of instruction in European higher education not only in northern countries, but also in the Eu ropean ‹south›. This volume is fruit of a pro ject which was carried out in a public univer sity based in the north-east of Italy with the aim of delivering professional development for university lecturers engaged in EMI. It be gins with an overview of the European con text, the Italian context, and some of the ar guments against the indiscriminate spread of English as a medium of instruction in higher education. The volume then focuses on the microcontext of the university, giving voice to the various stakeholders in EMI. These in clude researchers, lecturers, administrative staff, those involved in professional develop ment and students. The central part of the vol ume presents the views and experiences of twelve EMI lecturers from a range of academic disciplines. In sharing these perspectives on EMI, the volume hopes to stimulate critical dialogue and research on the many issues in volved in this aspect of internationalisation in higher education institutions.

Semantics for Translation Students Arabic–English–Arabic This book is an introduction to semantics for students and researchers who are new to the field, especially those interested in Arabic– English translation and Arabic–English con trastive studies. The book first presents key concepts in semantics, pragmatics, semiotics, syntax and morphology and gradually intro duces readers to the central questions of se mantics. These issues are then analysed and discussed in conjunction with the act of trans lating between Arabic and English. Seeking a balance between theoretical developments and empirical investigation, the book thus provides both a systematic overview of se mantics and an application in the field of Eng lish and Arabic contrastive semantics, hence offering a resource for students and teachers of Arabic–English translation.

Navigating Maritime Languages and Narratives New Perspectives in English and French The book collects scholarly essays in the fields of English and French maritime terminology and sea literature. It focuses on the linguistic, literary and cultural exploration of the sea, considering new directions for research in the vast domain of «thalassology». Structured into two sections, which reflect its two main areas of enquiry (terminological and literary) and cultural standpoints (Anglophone and Francophone), the collection breaks new ground in approaching the study of the sea from dif ferent perspectives and through the use of novel methodological tools. In particular, the theoretical framework and working instru ments of corpus linguistics are recurrently applied, not only to the investigation of con temporary maritime terminology but also to the interpretation of literary and musical texts, thus combining quantitative and qualitative analysis. Indeed, interdisciplinarity and dial ogism inform the volume, which invites its readers to set sail on a journey across differ ent disciplinary and linguistic seas, and to ex plore the protean nature of maritime termi nology and imagery.

Second language acquisition in complex linguistic environments Russian native speakers acquiring standard and non-standard varieties of German and Czech Russian-speaking immigrants residing in the Czech Republic or Germany are faced with the challenge of acquiring the Slavic (Czech) or Non-Slavic (German) language of the new en vironment. This process is influenced by their native language. The volume empirically anal yses the acquisition of a related language com pared to that of a non- or distantly related one and explores how the non-homogeneous lan guage of the new environment – situation of diglossia in the Czech Republic, diaglossia in Germany – influences this acquisition. It ad ditionally examines the impact of several so ciolinguistic factors on L2 acquisition, espe cially age.

Evaluation in media discourse European perspectives Despite the apparent novelty and fluidity of the media today, there is strong evidence that patterns are emerging which both reflect and extend the evaluative paradigms previously observed in the print and broadcast media. In this complex scenario, discourse analysis of fers a rich and varied methodology for under standing the different types of evaluation con veyed through media texts and the way these project, reflect and develop their relationships with their audience. The chapters in this vol ume draw on a variety of analytical tools, in cluding appraisal analysis, argumentation theory, multimodal approaches and corpus linguistics, to address the issue of evaluation in media discourse. The theoretical underpin ning for these chapters ranges from corpusinformed discourse studies, through critical discourse analysis and semio-communicative approaches, to Bakhtinian perspectives. Al though the chapters are all in English, the scope of the volume is broadly European, cov ering aspects of the British, Spanish, Dutch and German media in their traditional and online manifestations, as well as contrastive studies.

Literary Retranslation in Context

Languaging in and across Communities: New Voices, New Identities

The present study examines the interrelation between literary texts, their successive re translations and the corresponding histori cal, social and cultural backgrounds that in form these versions. In the case of each text, the authors analyse both the external factors (sociohistorical circumstances, publishing context, authors, translators, etc.) and the in ternal ones (text analysis, translation proce dures or strategies) that influence this inter relation. The book also considers how the de cision to retranslate a literary work may be due not only to the commercial criteria estab lished by publishers, but also to external de velopments in the historical, cultural or so cial environment of the target culture, or to an evolution in the poetic and aesthetic con siderations of the translations themselves, since translational activities and approaches change and evolve over time. Consequently, the procedures inherent in translation may influence the reception and perception of the original text in the target culture. Finally, the book explores how the retranslations of a work of literature may even change the image of an author and the perception of his or her work that has been established by previous trans lations.

Studies in Honour of Giuseppina Cortese The title of this volume intentionally echoes that of a landmark issue of Textus on «Languaging» in and across Human Groups, edited by Gi useppina Cortese and Dell Hymes in 2001, since the notion of ‹languaging› seems to capture most effectively the essence and the continu ity in the life and work of Giuseppina Cortese, to whom the book is dedicated. It brings to gether contributions by a number of distin guished scholars that shed new light on cur rent developments in this dynamic area of dis course analysis, especially taking into account recent research and emerging insights on speech communities and communities of practice. The sections in the volume are designed as main threads of a new investigation into ‹lan guaging›. The first, entitled Languaging Awareness, deals with recent findings in applied lin guistics, exploring key topics in language acqui sition, language learning and teaching and the changing role of the media. The second section, Languaging Identity, prioritizes the theme of the construction of identity in text and talk within a linguistic and languaging framework. The third section, Languaging Community, explores the notion of community, of the lifeworld and the textworld emanating from a variety of domains, closely inspecting contemporary events and showing, on a continuum with Cortese’s ap proach, how memory of the past gives depth of meaning to a discourse analysis that is geared to linguistic and textual awareness.

Early Bilingualism and Multilingualism Parents’ and Caregivers’ Attitudes and Observations The author investigates the development of children raised bilingually or multilingually. Parents and caregivers completed a question naire, providing information on 36 children growing up with two or more languages. Their responses indicate that bilingual and multi lingual children usually develop as well as their monolingual peers, and sometimes even better. Some drawbacks of early bilingualism or multilingualism, such as a slight delay in the onset of speech production or asymmet rical language competences, are compensated for by several benefits of early acquisition of two or more mother tongues and early con tacts with two or more cultures.

Language − Literature − the Arts: A Cognitive-Semiotic Interface

Corpus-based Approaches to Translation and Interpreting From Theory to Applications

The book offers an interdisciplinary discus sion of the cognitive-semiotic interface be tween language, literature, and the arts, with a special focus on creativity and imagination. It brings together international contributors suggesting a wide range of innovative per spectives on the correlation between verbal discourse and creative artefacts. The book re veals the specificity of such phenomena as parallax, transparency, corporeal imagina tion, and multimodality. Alongside interpret ing artistic texts, the contributors search for cognitive and semiotic manifestations of creativity in political and everyday discourse.

Corpus-based translation studies have come a long way since they were introduced in the last decade of the 20th century. This volume offers a balanced collection of theoretical and application-orientated contributions which establish novel trends in the area of corpusbased translation and interpreting studies. Most of the theoretical contributions report on studies related to translation universals such as simplification, explicitation, normal isation, convergence or transfer. The applica tion-orientated contributions cover areas as diverse as corpus-based applied research, train ing, practice and the use of computer-assisted translation tools.

Current Issues in Italian, Romance and Germanic Non-canonical Word Orders Syntax – Information Structure – Discourse Organization This volume aims at offering an up-to-date survey on non-canonical word orders and their interplay with information structure and dis course organization. The contributions ana lyze different non-canonical syntactic struc tures (fronting, inversion, dislocations, and cleft constructions), focusing on Italian alone or on Italian in a contrastive perspective with one or more Romance (French, Romanian, Por tuguese, Spanish) and/or Germanic (English and German) languages. The authors tackle the main issue of the volume from a variety of perspectives and by relying on different theoretical frameworks. At the same time, they all offer a fine-grained description of the structures analyzed on the basis of a solid em pirical foundation.

Multilingualism and English in Twenty-First-Century Europe

The Reference of Natural Kind Terms

Recent Developments and Challenges This book aims to tackle one of the most con troversial and important linguistic, educa tional and societal debates in contemporary Europe. English is growing rapidly within, and spreading across, an increasing number of ar eas of society. This development is influenced by actions taken by national and suprana tional decision-makers, as well as global forces outside the control of any one state or politi cal union. Europe’s founding principle of re specting and fostering diversity and equality of cultures and languages is being affected by the growing role of English across European countries, creating a de facto linguistic hier archy and consequently a potential cultural hierarchy. The essays collected here aim to ex amine existing debates and stimulate further discourse on the nurturing of multilingual ism in Europe and the concomitant acquisi tion of English. By bringing together contri butions focusing on multiple European coun tries and regions by researchers from a variety of linguistic and cultural backgrounds, this volume presents a snapshot of the current re lationship between multilingualism and Eng lish and explores the challenges generated by this situation.

This book deals with the main proponents of the causal and descriptivist reference theo ries on natural kind terms. The two main types of contemporary reference theories on natu ral kind terms are the causal and the descrip tivist theories. The author analyzes the main versions of these two types of theories and claims that the differences between them are not as great as it is usually assumed. He al leges that the ostensive reference fixing and reference borrowing theories should be de scriptive-causal, and he also adduces that the relation of kind-identity depends on the views on kind-identity and thus involves descrip tive elements. This book is an important con tribution to the debate on reference in con temporary philosophy of language and lin guistics.

Essays and Studies in Middle English

CIUTI-Forum 2015

9th International Conference on Middle English, Philological School of Higher Education in Wrocław, 2015 This volume is a selection of papers presented at the 9th International Conference on Mid dle English held at Wyższa Szkoła Filologiczna (Philological School of Higher Education) in Wrocław, Poland, from April 30 to May 3, 2015. The contributors cover a wide range of topics in the area of language and literature. The lin guistic papers constitute the majority of con tributions and focus on problems from pho nology to grammar, semantics and pragmat ics. The literary contributions discuss various aspects of Middle English texts.

Pillars of Communication in Times of Uncertainty The speakers of the 2015 edition of the Forum all showed a particular interest in interdisci plinary research and training. The represent atives of translation industry, international and national entities and organisations, pro fessional associations, trainers and research ers offered deep insights into their everyday work, displaying all the problems encountered and solutions found. One of the main themes was also the Silk Road Project and its multi faceted approaches – linguistic, cultural and economic – with all its drawbacks, pitfalls and challenges. In the section Transnational Pri vate Public Partnerships the speakers stressed the importance of a global network of quality oriented partners. Interdisciplinary highlights were speakers from other disciplines who ad dressed in their speeches problems concern ing world economy and science, which are of vital importance to all major actors.

Le plurilinguisme et le monde du travail / Plurilingualism and the Labour Market Entre besoins, défis et stratégies / Language needs, challenges and strategies Far from being a utopia, plurilingualism in business companies is a complex reality and provides measurable resources. The contribu tions in this volume show that language users spontaneously look for solutions other than English only to communicate effectively in the workplace. Since different types of company have different language needs, the authors suggest diverse language strategies and im plementations. One section is devoted to best practices: companies present their experience in addressing language issues in the work place.

Norm-Focused and CultureRelated Inquiries in Translation Research Selected Papers of the CETRA Research Summer School 2014 This volume collects selected papers written by young translation scholars who were CE TRA 2014 participants. This book analyses the heterogeneity of translational norms, diver sity of cultures and the challenges of intercul tural transfer. The authors analyze a wide ar ray of source texts, from the translations of contemporary prose and audiovisual prod ucts into Brazilian, Japanese and Swedish, to renderings of texts more distant in time, such as the Bible and «Golestân» written in medi eval Persian. The book also concentrates on selected meta-level issues, such as the integ rity of the discipline and its language, as well as the development of translation competence. The norm-focused and culture-related frame work offers considerable research potential for Translation Studies.

Bilingual Landscape of the Contemporary World The concept of bilingualism has been analyzed for a very long time. Its definitions range from native-like competence in two languages to a minimal proficiency in a second language. Hence one might question why no consensus has been reached in this matter. The authors of this volume imply that there exists a num ber of theoretical and methodological diffi culties raised by older definitions. The notion of bilingualism has to be investigated from different perspectives reflected by the dimen sions each individual intends to diagnose. The aim of the book is to review critically the state of the art in the field of bilingualism. The vol ume reveals the details of empirical studies conducted by scholars from Europe, America and Australia. It depicts a truly interesting spectrum of research topics starting with the educational aspects of bilingualism, such as: bilingual acquisition, bilingual parenting methods and bilingual kindergartens, to re veal various issues of sociolinguistics and even bilingual literature.

On Invectives in Natural Language: A Panchronic Study of English Synonyms of ‹Skinny›/‹Fatty› The author researches selected synonyms of ‹skinny› and ‹fatty› in the history of the Eng lish language from the perspective of cogni tive linguistics. The method employed in grouping the analytical material has been dic tated by the nature of the processes of seman tic change. The author subdivided the quan tum of the analysed lexical items into the fol lowing type-groups: zoosemy (animal metaphor), foodsemy (food metaphor), plan tosemy (plant metaphor), metonymy, reifica tion, eponymy, onomatopoeia, rhyming slang and varia. Surveying a collection of English dictionaries the author makes an attempt to determine the status of a given synonym in present-day English.

Grammatical Collocations of Verbs and Prepositions

Analysing English as a Lingua Franca in Video Games

This book presents empirical research of gram matical collocations of the type: verb and the prepositions «of» and «to». It is based on com parisons of English and Czech sentences con taining verbs and prepositions that are fol lowed by the object. The author creates Eng lish–Czech verbal prepositional counterparts and groups on the grounds of the similar se mantic, syntactic features. She identifies the features that are the same for each verb group and generalizes them. The book determines trends and tendencies for verbs when they collocate with a certain preposition.

Linguistic Features, Experiential and Functional Dimensions of Online and Scripted Interactions

Robert Kiełtyka • Agnieszka Uberman (eds.)

Evolving Nature of the English Language Studies in Theoretical and Applied Linguistics

This book examines the English Lingua Franca (ELF) uses in a corpus of online and scripted video-game interactions. While research gen erally explores the playful and technological aspects of computer-mediated communica tion, this study focuses on the strategies of cooperation, language simplification and au thentication, lexical creativity and meaning negotiation that are generally activated within the «community of practice of gamers» to fa cilitate cross-cultural conversations. The scripted exchanges, instead, are examined by means of the ALFA Model (Analysis of Lingua Franca in Audiovisual texts), which is devised to enquire into the extent to which the nonnative participants’ language variations are part of the multimodal actualisation of the cognitive construct of «non-native speakers», to which authors resort in order to prompt specific reactions on the part of the receivers. Finally, since the participants’ turns in both online and scripted interactions are visually represented as written messages on screen, this research also contributes to the develop ment of the description of written ELF varia tions, so far not thoroughly explored in the literature.

This volume presents a collection of interdis ciplinary papers pertaining to the most thought-provoking problems in the areas of both theoretical and applied linguistics. The contributors focus on contemporary develop ments in morphological, semantic and prag matic theorizing. The contributions are also devoted to various aspects of the methodol ogy of teaching English as well as some intri cacies of translation.

A Unified and Integrative Theory of Language

Identifying Plosives in L2 English

English versus Slavic

The Case of L1 Cypriot Greek Speakers

Lexicon in a Morphological and Semantic Perspective

Language requires investigation within a broad framework, which can only be achieved if the elements studied belong to all realms of ver bal (and to some extent non-verbal) commu nication. Grammar is merely the systematized aspect of language: by drawing on data from oral communication in a number of languages – with its phonological, pragmatic and ges tural aspects – and taking into account palae ontology, anthropology, psychology and evo lutionary biology, it is possible to shed new light on the phenomenon of language, meant and designed for communication, and not merely grammar. This book explores why lan guage operates the way it does, why it is ac quired the way it is, how it evolved in the first place, and why it is that some phenomena in language are universal while others are not. The author also considers whether apparently separate defining properties of our species are in fact narrowly correlated aspects of one and the same biological reality, which converges in language. Finally, the book explores the possibility that language is both the reason and the effect of the intrinsic responsibility that we feel for our fellow beings, akin to that which in different contexts is called love for our neighbour, or altruism.

This volume presents the results of two tasks examining the acquisition of plosive voicing contrasts in L2 English by college students with Cypriot Greek (CG) backgrounds. The tasks focus on the different factors affecting plosive identification and the types of errors involving plosives. With respect to the first is sue, the phonetic perception of plosives turns out to be better in voiceless consonants com pared to their voiced counterparts, thus pro viding evidence for the importance of the voic ing contrast factor. With respect to the second issue, the results point to the same direction since it appears that L2 users performed sig nificantly better in voiceless plosives. It is also indicated that they were able to perceive voiced plosives but they treated such instances as a /nasal+voiced plosive/sequence (prenasalised plosives). Therefore, the overall results seem to agree mostly with the speech perception approach suggesting that voiced plosives are realised differently in CG while the difficul ties of the L2 CG users with plosives seem to be attributed to VOT differences between the L1 and the L2.

This book offers a collection of papers pertain ing to the most thought-provoking problems in the areas of theoretical and contrastive lin guistics. The contributions are devoted to cur rent developments in morphological and se mantic theorizing. The contrastive analyses conducted by the authors examine the struc ture of English and selected Slavic languages.

Motivating the Symbolic

The Translation Equivalence Delusion

Towards a Cognitive Theory of the Linguistic Sign The book outlines a new approach to the study of motivation in language, which is firmly rooted in the paradigm of cognitive linguis tics, but it is developed in critical (and con structive) dialogue with classical theories in semiotics: Ferdinand de Saussure’s structural linguistics and Charles S. Peirce’s model of the sign. The author’s proposal hinges upon the Peircean distinction between iconic, indexi cal, and symbolic signs, but the classical ty pology is reinterpreted within the framework of cognitive linguistics. The approach does not seek to «categorize» different linguistic expressions into one of the three Peircean types, but attempts to capture the dynamic ity of meanings in terms of iconicity, indexi cality, and conventionality. The book presents an analysis of selected vocabulary and mor phosyntactic structures of English.

Meaning and Translation Almost everything that one claims about mean ing is likely to be questioned or disputed. Trans lation studies also abound in numerous con troversies. However, there is no doubt that translations entail a transfer of meaning, even if the exact sense of the word «meaning» re mains vague. The same applies to the term «translation equivalence». This book is an at tempt to cope with conceptual, terminologi cal, theoretical, and practical difficulties re sulting from this nebula of issues. Numerous examples of translated legal, religious and ar tistic texts are provided to substantiate the claim that translation equivalence, except in the most trivial sense of the term, is indeed a delusion. The book is addressed to all those persons who are interested in mutual relations between semantics and translation studies.

From Motion to Emotion Aspects of Physical and Cultural Embodiment in Language This volume has its origins in an international conference on emotions organized by the Pol ish Association for the Study of English and held at the University of Wrocław in April 2015. In the course of the conference, it became clear that emotions are productively explored with relation to motion for the reason that emotion(s) and motion(s) constitute profoundly inter twined dimensions of physical and cultural embodiment reflected in language. The rela tionship between motion(s) and emotion(s) became the underlying theme of this volume, which comprises nineteen contributions pre senting exploratory and applicative accounts of (e)motion(s) situated in topical research areas of linguistic theory, second language ac quisition, and translation studies.

The Age of Translation Early 20th-century Concepts and Debates The collection of essays by eleven TS research ers focuses on translation in the first half of the 20th century, a period of political and so cial turmoil in Europe. The collection concen trates mainly, though not exclusively, on the Iberian Peninsula, addressing relevant ques tions, such as censorship and dictatorial re gimes, power, war, the role of women in soci ety. It seeks to shed new light on the concepts, debates and practices of the time, as well as to showcase both translatedness in its many guises (translation, adaptation, pseudotrans lation) and its conspicuous absences. The con tributors discuss, in different ways and using various methodologies, the omnipresence of translation in «the age of the extremes».

Visions and Revisions Studies in Theoretical and Applied Linguistics The papers reflect on «visions» and «revisions» of selected theoretical and applied linguistic issues. Methodologically, they all reflect and contribute to the polarization between formand substance-oriented approaches that are typically identified with, respectively, struc tural and functional paradigms. The diversity of standpoints exemplified and the divergence of operational tools employed make the vol ume a representative spectrum of the on-go ing developments in how language is concep tualized and analyzed as both an abstract en tity and as a medium of communication, language teaching and learning included. For this reason, the readers will find as much of structural considerations as of functional re flections and practical applications.

CALL for Openness This volume explores multiple dimensions of openness in ICT-enhanced education. The chapters, contributed by researchers and academic teachers, present a number of exem plary solutions in the area. They involve the use of open source software, innovative tech nologies, teaching/learning methods and tech niques, as well as examine potential benefits for both teachers’ and students’ cognitive, be havioural and metacognitive development.

The Politics of Dubbing

Ethnolinguistics, Cultural Change and Early Scripts from England and Wales

Sociolinguistics of Moroccan Arabic

Film Censorship and State Intervention in the Translation of Foreign Cinema in Fascist Italy During the late 1920s and the 1930s, the Ital ian government sought various commercial and politically oriented solutions to cope with the advent of new sound technologies in cin ema. The translation of foreign-language films became a recurrent topic of ongoing debates surrounding the use of the Italian language, the rebirth of the national film industry and cinema’s mass popularity. Through the analysis of state records and the film trade press, The Politics of Dubbing explores the industrial, ideological and cul tural factors that played a role in the govern ment’s support for dubbing. The book outlines the evolution of film censorship regulation in Italy and its interplay with film translation practices, discusses the reactions of Musso lini’s administration to early Italian-language talkies produced abroad and documents the state’s role in initiating and encouraging Ital ians’ habit of watching dubbed films.

The study presents a chronotope of linguistic and cultural changes that took place in Eng land and Wales between the 4th and 8th cen turies. It encompasses the areas of South Wales and Eastern England and describes the cul tural practices of preliterate Anglo-Saxon and Celtic speech communities and their adapta tion of runic, ogham and Latin scripts. The study is based on the concepts of anthropo logical linguistics, ethnography of communi cation and discourse analysis. It incorporates 23 selected ogham- and Latin-inscribed stones from Wales, and 10 rune-inscribed everyday objects from England. The presented inscrip tions were designed as text occurrences with well-planned, graphical content distribution, intentionally placed in the public space to in crease the range of their potential audience.

New Topics This book focuses on Moroccan sociolinguis tic dynamics of change. Its aim is to analyse the changing contemporary situation of Mo roccan Arabic as a local language and linguis tic resource. Starting with a critical sociolin guistic overview of language policy in Mo rocco, the book aims to respond to the following questions: How do new linguistic practices in Morocco contribute to a restruc turing of the Moroccan linguistic field? Will the new local multilingual practices, specifi cally the use of Moroccan Arabic in writing and other communicative modalities, play an important role in the social and political em powerment as well as the standardisation of this linguistic variety? Finally, the book ex amines current attempts to achieve a stand ardisation of the written variety of Moroccan Arabic, and how these attempts are influenced by a number of factors, including political, ideological and obviously sociolinguistic dy namics of change.

Challenging Boundaries in Linguistics Systemic Functional Perspectives Linguistics, like any discipline, is full of bound aries. However, in nature, as Ruqaiya Hasan points out, there are no clear cut boundaries. The participants of the 42nd International Sys temic Functional Congress held at RWTH Aachen University addressed and challenged the no tion of boundaries in linguistics in many cre ative ways. Twenty-one of the papers presented at the congress are collated in this volume. The six sections cover topics that challenge theo retical notions and stances, and explore his torical, interpersonal and lexicogrammatical boundaries as well as those between languages and in language development. The volume pre sents a state of the art overview of systemic functional linguistic theorising with exten sions into other theoretical frameworks.

A Course in Applied Linguistics for Arab EFL/ESL Students

Reconsidering Early Bilingualism

A Course in Applied Linguistics for Arab EFL/ ESL Students has been developed keeping in view the academic needs of native-Arabic speakers learning English as a second/foreign language. The book in the process of under standing how students acquire second lan guage, sheds some light on how children ac quire their first language. It reviews the obser vations of theorists on Contrastive Analysis, Error Analysis and Interlanguage as main fac tors that influence learners’ performance. Some examples from real performance of Arab EFL/ESL learners are discussed and analyzed. The book reviews the observations of linguists and psychologists on the role of extrinsic and intrinsic non-linguistic factors that affect SLA. The book also gives good consideration of the views of experts on the efficacy of strategy training. At the end of each chapter, there are study questions to provide an opportunity for the readers to test their proficiency. Similarly, projects are also added for the students to practice. A list of references is added at the end of each chapter for further reading. The book has a rich Glossary to provide students with definitions of the most important terms.

A Corpus-Based Study of Polish Migrant Children in the United Kingdom This book investigates the language of PolishEnglish bilingual children raised in the United Kingdom and their Polish monolingual coun terparts. It exemplifies the lexico-grammat ical knowledge of both groups and uses cor pus-based grammatical inference in order to establish the source of the impediment of the minority language of the bilingual group. The author applies the methodology of corpus lin guistics and narrative analysis to study the language of young bilinguals. He presupposes the caveat that a child-type competence ex ists and can be contrasted with an adult-type competence. He uses a variety of corpus fre quency measures to compare the specific sty lometric features of bilingual child narratives and their monolingual counterparts. The book focuses on how bilingual and monolingual language differs in areas such as the lexicon, morphosyntax, and semantics.

Defining collocation for lexicographic purposes From linguistic theory to lexicographic practice This volume aims to promote a discussion on the definition of collocation that will be use ful for lexicographic purposes. Each of the pa pers in the volume contains addresses in de tail one or more aspects of three main issues. The first issue concerns, on the one hand, the boundaries between collocations and other word combinations, and the way in which lex icographers convey classifications to diction ary users. The second issue is the possibility, or even necessity, of adapting the definition of collocation to the objectives of different types of dictionaries, taking into account their specific micro- and macro-structural proper ties and their users’ needs. The third issue con cerns the methods for collocation extraction. In order to tailor the definition of collocation to the actual dictionary function, it is neces sary to develop hybrid methods relying on corpus-based approaches and combining data processing with criteria such as native speak ers’ evaluation and contrastive analysis.

Studies on Language Norms in Context This book deepens the insight into the setting and monitoring of language norms in differ ent contexts. One focus lies on institutional contexts, in which the authors examine stand ardization, language policy and the imple mentation of usage norms. In the context of language learning, the authors investigate cognitive strategies of L2 norm construction by initial learners, L2 norms in grammars as well as interactional norms regulating teacher behavior. Finally, the volume theoretically ex plores the nature of discourse norms and ex amines their management and metadiscur sive formulation in a variety of communica tive activities and genres. Contributions to the volume are predominantly in English, some in German.

Linguistic Change in Galway City English A Variationist Sociolinguistic Study of (th) and (dh) in Urban Western Irish English This volume is a novel approach to the cor pus-based variationist sociolinguistic study of contemporary urban western Irish English. Based on qualitative data as well as on linguis tic features extracted from the Corpus of Gal way City Spoken English, this study approaches the major sociolinguistic characteristics of (th) and (dh) variability in Galway City Eng lish. It demonstrates the diverse local patterns of variability and change in the phonetic re alisation of the dental fricatives and estab lishes a considerable degree of divergence from traditional accounts on Irish English. This volume suggests that the linguistic stratification of variants of (th) and (dh) in Galway correlates both with the social stratification of the city itself and with the stratification of speakers by social status, sex/gender and age group.

The Global World and its Manifold Faces Otherness as the Basis of Communication The Global World is a pivotal formula in pre sent-day «Newspeak». The book’s leitmotif – if it is true that the faces of today’s global world are manifold – is that language opens to the other, that the word’s boundaries are the mul tiple boundaries of the relation to others, of encounter among differences. Otherness logic is in language and life. The aim is to evidence how, contrary to implications of the newspeak order, new worlds are possible, critical linguis tic consciousness is possible – a «word revo lution» and pathway to social change. The method is «linguistic» and concerns the lan guage and communication sciences. But to avoid that the limits of the latter influence our perspective on «the global world and its man ifold faces», this method is located at the in tersection of different scientific perspectives. As such it pertains to «philosophy of language», but in dialogue with the science of verbal and nonverbal signs, today «global semiotics», therefore it is also «semiotic». And given that how to understand «the global world» is not just a theoretical issue, but concerns how we relate to others, to differences in all their forms and aspects, the method proposed with this book is also «semioethic».

Lexicon of Common Figurative Units Widespread Idioms in Europe and Beyond. Volume II The book continues the work of Widespread Idioms in Europe and Beyond (2012) and also brings new insights into the similarities of the European languages. Using comprehensive data from 78 European and some non-Euro pean languages, another 280 «widespread id ioms» have been analyzed in terms of their distribution and origins. They are arranged according to their source domains (for exam ple, performing arts, sports, history, war, tech nology, money, folk belief, medical skills, ges tures, and nature). Among them are very mod ern layers of a common figurative lexicon, including quotes of personalities of recent times. Thorough research on the sources of these idioms goes beyond the entries in rele vant reference works and brings new and un predictable results. All of the data in this book adds new knowledge to the fields of language and culture. We now know which Europe-wide common idioms actually constitute a «Lexi con of Common Figurative Units» and which chronological and cultural layers they may be assigned to. The question about the causes of the wide spread of idioms across many lan guages now can partly be answered.

Vanishing Languages in Context

Opera Surtitling as a Special Case of Audiovisual Translation

Ideological, Attitudinal and Social Identity Perspectives This volume grew out of the 36th International LAUD Symposium, which was held in March 2014 at the University of Koblenz-Landau in Landau, Germany. There is general consensus among language experts that slightly more than half of today’s 7,000 languages are un der severe threat of extinction even within fifty to one hundred years. The 13 papers con tained in this volume explore the dramatic loss of linguistic diversity, why this matters, and what can be done and achieved to docu ment and support endangered languages es pecially in the context of an ever increasing globalized world. The issue of vanishing lan guages is discussed from a variety of method ologies and perspectives: sociolinguistics, lan guage ecology, language contact, language policy/planning, attitudes and linguistic ine qualities.

Towards a Semiotic and Translation Based Framework for Opera Surtitling Despite the growing interest in various trans lation activities, there is still a potentially vast area of research. The statement may be true for opera surtitling, which was introduced in the nineteen eighties and has been used in opera companies worldwide ever since. This book aims to offer a theoretical framework for opera surtitling, based on several factors, in cluding the semiotics of opera, relevance the ory, or fundamental rules of audiovisual trans lation. The author provides a more illuminat ing insight by means of practical research into surtitling in Poland, which proves that surti tling is not as simple a task as it may seem, de manding a multimodal and multifaceted anal ysis of an audiovisual complex and requiring a constant struggle to guarantee optimal rel evance of the surtitled performance.

Interdisciplinarity in Translation Studies Theoretical Models, Creative Approaches and Applied Methods The present volume collects a number of works that draw on some of the most relevant disci plines in Translation Studies. All the papers are written in either English or French, and have been grouped into four sections devoted to illustrate the type of interdisciplinary ap proach adopted in each of the areas of trans lation under study. The papers draw on differ ent theoretical models and borrow various re search methods from neighbouring disciplines. But they all share the common aim of gain ing further insight into translation as a text product, a cognitive process, a profession and a teaching field. Works such as the volume pre sented here contribute to foster collaboration both at an interdisciplinary and international level. The conclusions and implications from these papers may bring us a step closer to un derstand not only translation and interpret ing, but also other communication, cognitive and social processes involved in translating. Their shared enterprise may promote the sort of cooperation and teamwork needed to shape the different interdisciplinary inquiries into a common research agenda of the type needed to have data and results finally converging into a unified theory.

Telos and Object

Metalinguistic Perspectives on Germanic Languages

Backness Distinction in Phonology

European Case Studies from Past to Present

A Polish Perspective on the Phonemic Status of «y»

In what ways has language been central to con structing, challenging and reconfiguring so cial and political boundaries? This volume traverses space and time to explore the con struction of such boundaries. Focusing on the ways that language functions as an inclusive and divisive marker of identity, the volume includes case studies on Scandinavia, the Neth erlands, Belgium and Luxembourg. It also ex plores the northern and southern borderlands of present-day Germany as well as the city of Cologne and the surrounding Ruhr area. The chapters critically engage with focused ac counts of past and present language situa tions, practices and policies. Taken as a whole, the volume stresses the importance of stud ying metalinguistic perspectives as a means of enabling detailed analyses and challeng ing generalizations.

This book discusses the phonological conse quences of the backness distinction in high vowels. It focuses on a single-phoneme ap proach which does not recognize the exist ence of the vowel y. The author demonstrates that the role of y is crucial for the analysis of Polish palatalization. If y is recognized as a separate phoneme, then the processes receive a straightforward account in Lexical Phonol ogy and Optimality Theory, the two frame works used in the study. On the other hand, the absence of y leads to unwarranted excep tionality and entails an extensive use of dia critics or lexical constraints. The analyses show, however, that the lack of y is empirically unfeasible and requires segment indexation, a solution unheard of in phonology.

The relation between sign and object as a teleological relation in the semiotics of Charles S. Peirce The semiotics of Charles S. Peirce is conceived as an essential part of a comprehensive philosophical outlook. The study of signs is carried on for its bearing on the knowledge of reality; therefore the relation of signs to objects is the core concern of Peirce’s semiotics. This study looks at this question on the background of Peirce’s philosophical system, individuating in the theories of reality and of knowledge the key issues which allow a philosophically grounded definition of the sign-object rela tion. The concepts of teleology and of final cause reveal themselves to be the essential conception which emerges from these two issues. The underlying teleological tendencies in the use of signs justify their gnoseological reliableness.

Video Game Translation and Cognitive Semantics

Heteroglossia Online

Twentieth-Century Borrowings from German to English

The book concentrates on video game trans lation from the perspective of cognitive se mantics. One of its objectives is to assert that translators’ knowledge of cognitive seman tics can affect translation, i.e. decoding the sender’s mental states and evoking particu lar mental states in the target language recip ient. The work is interdisciplinary and draws on such fields as games studies, cognitive se mantics, and translation studies. It also as pires to complete gaps in the scientific research on video games, systematize the knowledge of localization, and ascertain the role played by translators in the localization process. The research material consists of eight video games which belong to different genres, and the in vestigated English video game texts cover al most 3000 standard pages.

Translocal Processes of MeaningMaking in Facebook Posts

Their Semantic Integration and Contextual Usage

The nature of communicative practices today, particularly in the context of digitalized me dia, has revealed that earlier paradigms on language contact do not prove to be fully sat isfactory. Based on 1,507 Facebook posts of German university students participating in the Erasmus exchange program, the analysis aims at exploring how posters draw on their entire repertoire of local and «translocal» se miotic resources in interactions among speak ers with diverse language backgrounds. The students under examination participate in actual processes of meaning-making by re fashioning the semiotic potential of various features. As a result, the interlocutors create heteroglossic and polycentric posts to decol lapse collided and fuzzy contexts and to ne gotiate potentially large and multiple audi ences.

While there are plenty of studies on the im pact English has exerted on the German lan guage, the reverse contact situation has been relatively neglected. This monograph sets out to shed light on the German influence on the English lexicon in the twentieth century. It provides the first systematic appraisal of the semantic integration and contextual usage of the words adopted from German in the past few decades. The results presented in this study are based on the evaluation of a comprehen sive lexicographical corpus of 1958 twentieth century German borrowings retrieved from the Oxford English Dictionary Online. The pre sent-day usage of the borrowings is illustrated with linguistic documentary evidence col lected from a wide range of English language corpora.

Multiliteracies, Discourses and Identities The Multiliteracy Practices of Chinese Children in Britain This book explores the everyday reading and writing experiences of children from Chinese families living in Britain. Using an ethno graphic approach, the author presents in-depth case studies of three migrant children, all of whom received some education in mainland China before moving to Britain. The theoret ical framework is based on the New Literacy Studies approach and the author introduces a new conceptual and analytical term: the «Lit eracy Events Network». The study investigates the links between the children’s social do mains, identities and multilingual practices, exploring the power relations in which they are embedded and the ways they perceive themselves as they engage in literacy activi ties that connect their lives in Britain with China. The findings indicate that the children are not passive participants in the process of migration. Mediated by their parents and friends, they take part in a wide variety of lit eracy activities across multiple social settings, both online and offline. The book provides valuable insights into the uses and meanings of literacy for these children and opens up av enues for further research into the experi ences of Chinese communities in Britain.

Sociolinguistic Transition in Former Eastern Bloc Countries Two Decades after the Regime Change This volume offers empirical perspectives on the current sociolinguistic situations in for mer Eastern Bloc countries. Its seventeen chap ters analyse phenomena such as language choice, hierarchies and ideologies in multi lingualism, language policies, minority lan guages in new legal, educational, business and migratory contexts, as well as the position of English in the region. The authors use various methodological approaches – including sur veys, discourse analyses, descriptions and analyses of linguistic landscapes, and ethnog raphy – in order to deal with sociolinguistic issues in eight countries and seven regions, from Brandenburg, Germany, in the West to Sakhalin, Russia, in the East.

Comparative Law for Legal Translators One of the central challenges facing transla tors of legal texts is the ability to fully under stand the requirements of the various legal systems worldwide. In this respect, compara tive law plays an important role in legal trans lation, as it allows for the identification of similarities and differences among legal systems. While the practice of legal translation requires an excellent knowledge of comparative law for the linguistic transfer to be successful, educational institutions do not usually train their students in how to make the most of compar ative law in the translation of legal texts or how to rationally solve the problems arising from the differences that inevitably exist be tween legal systems. After emphasizing the importance of comparative law in the field of legal translation, this volume focuses on the main concepts that characterize some of the most relevant legal systems in the world and puts theory into practice by offering some ex ercises on comparative law applied to trans lation. This volume will be of interest to the growing number of students, teachers, pro fessionals and researchers working in the field of legal translation.

Philosophy and Logic of Predication

From Philosophy of Fiction to Cognitive Poetics

This book investigates philosophical and for mal approaches to predication. The topics dis cussed include Aristotelian predication, a con ceptualist approach to predication, possible formalizations of the notion, Fregean predi cates and concepts, and Meinongian predica tion. The contributions discuss the approaches proposed by Aristotle and Frege, as well as the division of classes into a hierarchy of orders. They reanalyze the traditional notions, and offer new insights into predication theory. This book contributes to contemporary de bates on predication and predicates in the phi losophy of language.

Studies collected in this volume investigate selected issues in contemporary philosophy of language and philosophy of literature. In dividual authors concentrate on philosophy of fiction and discuss fictional worlds and fic tional characters. They also present different approaches to translation theory, and meta phor theory (both classical and conceptual). Other chapters address the issues of figura tiveness and poetic language, apply the prin ciples of cognitive poetics to analyse differ ent types of texts, and provide cognitive ap proaches to abstraction in visual and verbal art, also to the categories of similarity and dif ference in perception and language. The ana lysed authors include Wallace Stevens, Rae Ar mantrout, Ernest Hemingway and David Lodge.

A Mosaic of Misunderstanding: Occident, Orient, and Facets of Mutual Misconstrual The book investigates relations between the ‹East› and ‹West› which have been forming and evolving from the Enlightenment until the present times. On the basis of material covering a selection of American, British and Turkish literature, as well as examples of West ern Orientalist painting and musical (oper atic) illustrations of analysed issues, the study aims to usher in a deeper and more nuanced understanding of post/colonial phenomena and their broader socio-cultural implications. The work attempts to accentuate the reso nances and dissonances between various arts and disciplines, with the view to illuminating the organic nature of both inter- and intracultural relationships. The rationale behind such an orientation in research and method ology has not been to arrive at a final eclectic perspective, but rather, to promote a more comprehensive and diverse approach towards the ‹Other.›

Phonology, its Faces and Interfaces The papers collected in this volume examine selected aspects of the interaction of phonol ogy with phonetics, morphosyntax and the lexicon in a variety of languages including Korean, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Brit ish English, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, Dutch and Hawaiian. In order to approach the role and ways of expressing extraphonological in formation in phonology, the international contributors adopt different methods of analysis (data gathering, experiments, theoretical discussions), couched in various theoretical frameworks (such as Optimality Theory and Government Phonology), which reveal both the multifarious faces and interfaces of mod ern phonological research.

Beyond the Limits of Language Apophasis and Transgression in Contemporary Theoretical Discourse The book explores the way in which apophatic discourse of negative theology has illumi nated contemporary critical theory. It dem onstrates the significance of apophasis both in Jacques Derrida’s search for a «new lan guage», responsive to singularity and alterity, and in the analyses of the experience of trans gression, developed by Maurice Blanchot, George Bataille and Michel Foucault. Follow ing Derrida’s understanding of negative the ology as a transgressive concept that tran scends the linguistic, historical and religious contexts from which it arises, the book proves that apophasis is not merely a discourse on language restricted to one theological tradi tion, but should be viewed as a mode of dia logue and openness, essential to all responsi ble thinking.

Bilingual Advantages

Two Thousand Zhuang Proverbs from China with Annotations and Chinese and English Translation

Rhetoric, Discourse and Knowledge

Contributions of Different Bilingual Experiences to Cognitive Control Differences Among Young-adult Bilinguals The question whether bilingualism is linked to benefits in cognitive control (executive functions) is intensely debated among lin guists. While some studies come to the con clusion that bilingual individuals consistently outperform their monolingual counterparts on tasks involving cognitive control, other studies argue that there is no coherent evi dence showing that bilingual advantages ac tually exist. This opposing view results from two inadequately investigated perspectives, namely the complexities of bilingualism and the multifaceted nature of cognitive control. This publication combines these two per spectives and presents a new approach to wards the analysis of bilingual advantage. It discusses the results of a combined analysis of both specific bilingual experiences and spe cific aspects of cognitive control.

China is home to one of the largest and oldest societies in the world, and presently contains fifty-six ethnic groups. Among them is the Zhuang, the largest of the minority popula tions, which partakes in a very long history of preliterate oral traditions. This volume pre sents an introduction to Zhuang language and culture in Zhuang proverbs. The two thousand proverbs explored in this text bear the weight of Zhuang history and culture, and embody the wisdom collected from publications, manuscripts, and the speeches of the people who live in Zhuang villages. These proverbs are grouped into nine sections: Truths; Morality; Family; Everyday Life; Social Life; Labor; Na ture; Customs; and Politics. Together, they form an essential distillation of the Zhuang history, tradition, philosophy, and most im portantly, its legacy. This accessible introduc tion – which includes translations in Zhuang Pinyin letters, Mandarin, and American Eng lish for each proverb – provides an important corpus for the study of the Zhuang ethnic group by scholars, students, and others who are interested in Zhuang language, culture, folklore and oral traditions, and proverbs.

The authors of this volume explore rhetorical and discursive strategies used to negotiate and establish legitimate knowledge and its disciplinary boundaries, to make scientific knowledge interesting outside academic set tings as well, and to manage (c)overt knowl edge in different social and political contexts. The volume focuses on the cultural concept of knowledge society, examining diverse lin guistic means of knowledge transmission from the perspective of the complex interplay be tween knowledge and persuasion. The con tributors discuss both sociological and philosophical issues, as well as textual processes in different genres that aim to communicate knowledge.

Explorations in Cognitive Semiotics This volume constitutes the first anthology of texts in cognitive semiotics – the new trans disciplinary study of meaning, mind and com munication that combines concepts and meth ods from semiotics, cognitive science and lin guistics – from a multitude of established and younger scholars. The chapters deal with the interaction between language and other se miotic resources, the role of consciousness and concepts, the nature of metaphor, the specificity of human evolution and develop ment, the relation between cognitive semiot ics and related fields, and other central topics. They are grouped in four sections: (i) Metatheoretical perspectives, (ii) Semiotic devel opment and evolution, (iii) Meaning across media, modes and modalities, (iv) Language, blends and metaphors.

English ‹Joyful› Vocabulary – Semantic Developments The book offers a novel exploration into the semantic development of English terms con cerning the concept of ‹joy› («bliss», «cheer», «delight», «dream», «game», «gladness», «glee», «joy», and «mirth»). The analysis, carried out within the framework of cognitive and his torical linguistics, employs the notions of cog nitive domains, profiling, and categorisation. The author adopts a panchronic perspective, according to which language reflects the way speakers experience the world. This allows her to provide a new insight into the intrinsic nature of semantic change.

Algerian Literature

Mário de Sá-Carneiro, A Cosmopolitan Modernist

A Reader’s Guide and Anthology The only up-to-date and comprehensive text and reader of Algerian literature available in English, Algerian Literature: A Reader’s Guide and Anthology offers the reader a historical and critical overview of the literature from the early twentieth century to the present, introduces Al gerian authors, and provides selections from a wide range of their writings, many translated here for the first time. It begins with an over view chapter that charts the evolution of Alge rian literature and puts it in its proper histori cal context, followed by five thematic chapters: decolonization and cultural affirmation, the War of Independence, modernization and its discontents, emigration, and history. The chap ters begin with introductions on the themes un der discussion and the selections are preceded by biographies of the authors, as well as detailed summaries of the larger works from which they are extracted. Finally, each chapter concludes with a bibliography and sources for readers seek ing additional information and insight. The se lections included in Algerian Literature: A Reader’s Guide and Anthology have been carefully chosen to reflect the richness and diversity of Algerian literature. Accordingly, they are ex tracted from various literary genres: novels, plays, and poems. Furthermore, they are from works that belong to different literary move ments: realism, modernism, and postmodern ism. The variety and the outstanding quality of the selections, along with the superb introduc tions, summaries, and biographies make Algerian Literature: A Reader’s Guide and Anthology an ideal text for courses in Algerian, Franco phone, and world literature courses.

Although he committed suicide at the age of twenty-five, Mário de Sá-Carneiro left behind a rich corpus of texts that is inventive, play ful, even daring. The first collection in Eng lish to be dedicated to his work, this volume brings together scholars from Portugal, Bra zil, and the USA to reassess Sá-Carneiro’s con tribution to Portuguese and European Modernism(s). In the book, established re searchers and younger scholars delve into the complexities and paradoxes of his work, ex ploring not only the acclaimed novella Lucio’s Confession, but also his poetry, short fiction, and correspondence. Each essay engages in the necessary task of placing Sá-Carneiro’s work in a wider literary and artistic context, bringing back to his texts the creative energy of early twentieth-century Europe. Plural in their methods, the essays propose multiple lenses through which to tackle key aspects of Sá-Carneiro’s œuvre: his aesthetic and artis tic influences and preoccupations; his nego tiations/performances of identity; and the ways in which his work emerges in dialogue with other Modernist authors and how they in turn engage with his work. Though he is sometimes overshadowed by his more famous friend and artistic comrade, Fernando Pessoa, this collection shows just how much one misses, if one overlooks Sá-Carneiro and other writ ers of the Orpheu generation.

Italy’s Other Women

Women Growing Up through LifeWriting in the Luso-Hispanic World

Improvisation and Complexity – Translated by Anna Grazia Cafaro and Melina Masterson

Gender and Prostitution in Italian Cinema, 1940–1965

Women have often chosen to tell their secrets, confide their dreams and express their deep est and most intimate thoughts in diaries, let ters and other forms of life-writing. Although it is well established as a genre in the Anglo phone and Francophone traditions, there has been very little publication of life-writing in the Hispanic and Lusophone worlds and even less scholarly criticism has appeared. This col lection of essays is the first volume to focus on the variety of women’s life-writing in the Luso-Hispanic world. The authors analyse women who have written or expressed their sense of identity through diaries, autobiogra phies, biographies, memoirs, travel writing and poetry, as well as forms of visual art, ex amining how they represent themselves and others. The volume brings together critics and academics working in Europe and the Amer icas who are engaging with the work of women from different countries, produced in loca tions ranging from a sixteenth-century con vent to a twenty-first-century kitchen. The book responds to a range of different literary genres as well as reaching beyond literature to analyse women’s self-representation through painting, drawing and collage.

Have you ever prepared a discourse by heart and then found out that, when the moment arrives, surprise and uniqueness of hic et nunc are inevitable? No matter how much you pre pare a text, it will need improvisation to be used on a stage or in the street. But, what is the limit between improvisation and tech nique, experience and training? Can we sci entifically measure the improvisation of a text? This work aims to investigate in which dimension art meets science and how it hap pens. Artists need to discover new conceptual instruments that contribute to the probing of the laws of matter, social existence, and the human mind. The rigorous and fascinating trip that Anna Grazia Cafaro proposes to cap ture the sense, function, and nature of the ac tor’s improvisation is a splendid and a unique example of a «new alliance» between art and science, predicted forty years ago by the sci entist Ilya Prigogine and the philosopher Isa belle Stengers. Thanks to the application of Chaos Theory to the theatrical processes, at tempted here for the first time, the actor and the performance are analyzed as «complex dynamic systems» like a cell, in which, para doxically, chaos and order coexist and main tain the system in balance; the continuous passages from chaos to order, create the nec essary tension and energy that allows the spec tator to build his own meaning.

In the period 1940 to 1965 the female prosti tute featured in at least ten per cent of all Ital ian-made films, but she cast her shadow over many more. With reference to the changing social and film industrial context, this book explains why the figure of the female prosti tute was so prevalent in Italian cinema of this period and offers a new account of her onscreen presence. It shows that the prostitutes that populate Italian cinema are much more than simply ‹tarts with hearts› or martyr fig ures. Via the constant reworking of the pros titute trope across genres, the figure takes us to the heart of many ideological contradic tions in postwar Italian cinema and society: these include the entanglement of rhetoric about political truth with the suppression of postwar guilt and shame, fears about racial contamination, and a preoccupation with nonnormative forms of masculine behaviour and desire. The book also shows how the female prostitute is important to Italian national cin ema as a ‹borderline identity›, used to estab lish, but also destabilize, the hegemony of re spectable femininities. It is precisely through her borderline condition, this book argues, that the prostitute ‹haunts› gender, sometimes policing it, but more often than not problem atizing its very construction.

Gender and Sexuality in Mozambican Literature

Poetry, History and Philosophy in the Writings of Perse, Césaire, Fanon and Glissant

Nina Bouraoui, Autofiction and the Search for Selfhood

This is the first book to provide a comparative exploration of the gendered and sexual body in Mozambican literature, engaging with the work of six authors spanning different gener ations, styles and aesthetics. The study begins by providing a detailed and innovative sur vey of the dynamics of gender, sexuality and power in the Portuguese colonial and Mozam bican post-independence contexts, from the nineteenth century to the turn of the millen nium. This initial investigation provides the sociohistorical backdrop for in-depth analy ses of representations, uses and subversions of the body in poetry and prose fiction by José Craveirinha, Noémia de Sousa, Lília Momplé, Ungulani Ba Ka Khosa, Paulina Chiziane and Suleiman Cassamo. Using a wide and interdis ciplinary range of theoretical frameworks, the book offers a fresh and creative new perspec tive on Mozambican history, political life and literary output.

The essays collected in this volume study the poetry and thought of four major Francophone Caribbean writers: Saint-John Perse, Aimé Cé saire, Frantz Fanon and Édouard Glissant. In a context where identity was a question, an original conception of subjectivity appeared, as the end point rather than the origin of a process which was inseparably poetic and po litical. It entailed an aesthetics of dispersion or errance, rather than belonging. This vol ume thus questions the traditional teleolog ical narrative of negritude as ‹renaissance› or ‹awakening›. A careful look at the birth of dif ferent negritude movements shows the com plexity of this history and explains Fanon’s philosophical and political critique of the no tion. These writers’ astonishingly rich produc tion rests on original aesthetic ideas and philosophical reflections which the vagaries of his tory and displacement, and their comparison with major metropolitan literary movements, had masked. Fanon’s thought is at the heart of the book, but this volume also traces the important debates these authors had with the major French thinkers of their time, notably Bergson, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty and Deleuze.

The motif of the ‹identity quest› features strongly in much contemporary French wom en’s writing, but nowhere more so than in the work of Nina Bouraoui. Author of numerous books since 1991 and winner of the 2005 Prix Renaudot, Bouraoui persistently explores the question of self-expression in her work, ex perimenting with a variety of self-represen tational modes and emphasising the impor tance of language to the construction of her sense of self. Considering the textual identi ties produced through Bouraoui’s work in the period 1999–2011, this book examines how self-referential writing can represent a cru cial act of resistance to a number of contem porary problems, including race, gender and social isolation. Using the work of Monique Wittig and Judith Butler to theorise the trans formative potential of the literary text, the author proposes autofiction as a uniquely un restricted space, which for writers such as Bouraoui may provide the only medium through which to formulate a coherent and manageable sense of self.

The Entrenchment of the «unus alterum» Pattern

Montaigne and the Art of Free-Thinking

Borges and Western Philosophy Borges gained his first lessons in philosophy from his father while still a young boy – an in timate home schooling that grew into a longterm obsession. Its ubiquitous presence in his thought and writing has made him one of the most distinctive literary philosophers in the West, expressing itself in a wide-ranging ar ray of fictional essays, metaphysical parables, philosophical poetry, and multifaceted liter ary artifacts. In contrast to the prevailing per ception of Borges as a «dogmatic sceptic» for whom philosophy serves solely aesthetic or rhetorical purposes, this volume proposes a novel approach for understanding Borges as an intellectual, together with an interpretive structure for comprehending his work, based on a systematic examination of the complex relations between literary writing and West ern philosophy in his œuvre. Offering a read ing of selected Borgesian texts in the light of the Western philosophers of whom he is most enamoured, and analyzing the way in which philosophical theories underpin his texts, it illustrates the fundamental tension of Borges’ writing as a manifestation of what he calls the «intellectual instinct.»

Four Essays on Latin and Old Romance Reciprocal Constructions In this book, the author presents that although various Old Romance grammars can be traced back to the common Latin ancestor, the func tional domain of reciprocity shows divergent paths of development. In this regard, each of the languages have worked up their unique solutions, with grammatical and semantic mechanisms underlying their diversity.

Education, religion, scepticism, politics, friend ship, sex, and style – Montaigne’s major themes are revealed here in the making of a text that practises freedom of thought by putting it to the test. This is an audacious close reading of the Essays and a demonstration of how Mon taigne’s great book continues to speak to the present.

The Wine Goblet of Hāfez

Luigi Ghirri and the Photography of Place

Balzac’s Cane

A Comparative Study of the Influence of Hāfez on the Fifteenth-Century Classical Persian Poet Jāmī In this innovative book, Bahman Solati pre sents a comparative study of Hāfez, an inter nationally renowned poet in the West, par ticularly in Germany, France, and the Anglo phone world for the past 250 years, and his influence on the fifteenth-century classical Persian poet Jāmī. Having played a key role on the stage of world literature and poetry, pre sent available studies in the West suffer from a dearth of good research works on Hāfez. This text aims to fill this gap, including coverage of commentaries, critical studies, and compi lations of Hāfez’s Divān, juxtaposing them with works and poetry of Jāmī to evaluate the influence of Hāfez on this fifteenth-century mystic and poet. Comprehensive notes and an extensive bibliography are added bonuses of the book. Devotees of Persian literature and those of Persian-speaking countries (Iran, Af ghanistan, Tajikistan) will find this text of par ticular interest, as will academics interested in Persian poetry and literature. The useful ness of this research alone for students and scholars alike is of itself enough to make this book worth adding to any library.

Interdisciplinary Perspectives The photographer Luigi Ghirri (1943–1992) was one of the most significant Italian artists of the late twentieth century. This volume – the first scholarly book-length publication on Ghirri to appear in English – introduces his photographic and critical work to a broader audience and positions Ghirri as a key voice within global artistic debates. It breaks new ground by approaching Ghirri’s œuvre from a wide range of interdisciplinary perspectives, in order to take account of the breadth of his interests, the variety of his projects and the far-reaching impact of his work as a practi tioner, writer, theorist and curator, both in the field of photography and beyond. Draw ing on different approaches from disciplines including art history, theory of photography, literary and cultural studies, architecture, car tography, and place and landscape studies, the essays in the volume show how Ghirri rede fined contemporary photography and helped shape the «spatial» or «landscape» turn in Italy and further afield.

Translated with an Introduction by Marta L. Wilkinson Balzac’s Cane is an English translation of Del phine de Girardin’s 1836 novella, La Canne de M. de Balzac, which centers around a protagonist named Tancred Dorimont, a brilliant young man plagued by his devastating good looks. In a social context in which appearance is everything, it seems for several chapters that beauty will break, rather than make, this young man’s fortune. One evening as Tancred seeks to forget his problems by spending an evening at the opera, he observes M. de Balzac and learns the secret to this famous author’s ability to know the innermost secrets of all walks of life with such detail and intimacy; M. de Balzac’s cane, a famously hideous walking stick, has the power to render the bearer in visible. A deal, which straddles the line be tween a favor and blackmail, is worked out be tween these two men and the cane comes into Tancred’s possession. With this tool Tancred is able to overhear state secrets, make his for tune, and then set his sights upon finding a woman truly worthy of his love. Voyeurism, surveillance, courtship, feminism, author ship, and the vanishing distinction between public and private lives are all raised in this novella. This work will be a useful text in ei ther French literature or comparative survey courses due to its examination of contempo rary nineteenth-century life, social organiza tion and morals, its parody of bildungsroman and romance novels, and its combination of genres: several lengthy poems are an essen tial part of the novella’s text.

Pets and their Couples

Intergenerational Language Use and Acculturation of Turkish Speakers in Four Immigration Contexts

Chardin, Charrière, Bernardin de SaintPierre, and Marivaux Baroque novels focus on the psychology of love, while love in the context of nature is the subject of the pastoral genre. Introducing animals to such texts proves unexpectedly chal lenging. The inclusion of pets in the artistic representation involves a reversal of scale and various modes of comedy, including socio-po litical satire. At a time when some writers fan tasize that children can be born of a humananimal couple, or question the degree of free will and physiological determinism influenc ing human or animal actions, scientific and philosophical enquiries threaten to reduce the whole animated world to a physiology akin to one of automatons. It is a criticism levied by the sentimentaires against the libertines. Eventually, the study must be initiated with the monitoring of the modulated and varia ble conceptions of the persons constituting a «couple» and the status of the «pet».

Immigrant integration dominates the social, political, and scientific agendas of immigrantreceiving countries. Integration requires mu tual co-ordinated efforts of both the host and immigrant groups. This book presents a macro level perspective on language maintenance, shift and acculturation orientations of Turk ish immigrants in major immigration con texts, namely, Australia, France, Germany, and the Netherlands. The findings show a close re lationship between the integration ideology, policies and practices of the receiving socie ties and the acculturation outcomes of immi grants. Intergenerational differences in lan guage use and choice as well as acculturation orientations of Turkish immigrants in the four national contexts have serious implications for policy makers and researchers.

Studies on Socialist Realism The Polish View This anthology presents a selection of texts on Polish socialist realist literature, written from the early 1980s to date. They depict a compre hensive picture of this literary phenomenon: starting from its holistic interpretations, through detailed analyses of the poetics of lit erary and political texts and a presentation of specific, also untypical embodiments of this artistic doctrine, to descriptions of the func tioning of the institutions of literary life un der socialist realism. All the texts in this an thology share a historically and culturally de termined general methodological perspective, representing a combination of the Polish ver sion of structuralism in literary studies – on the descriptive plane – with the anti-commu nist attitude on the plane of evaluation of pre sented phenomena.

Narrating the Passions New Perspectives from Modern and Contemporary Literature The passions are at the heart of human expe rience. Literature, which foregrounds human experience, captures the complexity of the passions more acutely than the generaliza tions of theory. This collection of essays by leading comparatists acknowledges the time less and ever-changing presence of the pas sions in literary texts and responds to multi ple and changing contexts. Through the anal ysis of well-known and less familiar works, the contributors to this volume explore some of the universal experiences of human pas sion: romantic love, seduction, parental affec tion, child-like wonder, obsession, indigna tion, melancholic apathy. A methodological concern links the different sections of the vol ume: is it possible to trace the vicissitudes of human passion through time and space? This question finds a response in the comparative approach, which captures the complexity of human passions through different periods and cultures. Comparative literary analysis, in combination with philosophical, psycho logical, sociological and psychoanalytic in quiry, enables the contributors to this volume to map some of the passions that have been fascinating writers for thousands of years and that continue to shape our stories and our lives.

The Monstrous World

Cultural Realities in the Poems of Ashok Vajpeyi

Corporeal Discourses in Phlegon of Tralles’ «Mirabilia»

This book is a hermeneutic analysis of the main poetic spaces in the work of Ashok Va jpeyi, a poet and a critic recognized among the eminent contemporary Hindi writers. The four parts of the book are devoted to major anthropological questions, instrumental for the poet who – while searching for the prin ciple of unity with the world – causes language to become an extension of existence. The au thor shows how, by combining both the In dian and Western cultural traditions, Vajpeyi locates his poetry «between civilizations», where it remains a self-contained projection of discourse taking the form of original and engaging patterns of poetic communication. The book portrays a significant case of the cul tural encounter of East and West in the mod ern globalized world.

Revenants, oracular heads, hermaphrodites, sex-changers, human-animal children, mul tiple pregnancies, births, body features … This is just a sample of subjects that Phlegon of Tralles explored in the 2nd century AD in his «Mirabilia». This study identifies the common motifs of Phlegon’s text and determines his criterion of selection: using the cultural cat egory of «monster», it argues that Phlegon ex clusively collected stories of either hybrid crea tures or human «record-breakers» with re spect to scale, size and multiplicity of their corporeal features. In this light, the «Mira bilia» appear to be a book on monsters and the monstrous that corresponds with a gen eral fondness for marvels and oddities dur ing the Roman imperial period.

Comparative Becomings Studies in Transition The comparative gesture performs both the act and the question of transition between the terms compared. Understood as an intercul tural practice, comparative literature may thus also be understood as both a transitive and a transnational process, creating its own object and form of knowledge as it identifies and analyses lines of relation and exchange between literary cultures. When navigating between languages, the discipline becomes critically engaged with the possibility and methods of such navigation. Interdisciplinary and intermedial versions of comparative stud ies likewise centre around transitions that may themselves remain under-analysed. This collection of essays, with contribu tions ranging from medieval literature to digital humanities, seeks to illuminate and inter rogate the very diversity of comparative situ ations, with their attendant versions of comparative discourse. The volume as a whole thereby reflects, however fragmentedly, a field of study that is itself faced with the reality of transition. As both a thematic and formal con cern in comparative work, transition emerges, within any historical period or other configuration in which it is charted and analysed, as key to the renewed relevance of comparative literary scholarship and study today.

Henry Totting of Oyta: Three Sermons of a Late Medieval Intellectual De passione Domini – De assumpcione beate Virginis Marie – De nativitate Iohannis Baptiste The book presents Henry Totting of Oyta (d. 1397), a late medieval intellectual who was ac tive in Erfurt, Prague, Paris, and Vienna. In spite of the fact that he is a well-known figure, the majority of his works remain unedited in manuscripts. The authors analyse and provide the first editions of three of his sermons: On the Passion, On the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and On the Nativity of John the Baptist. Totting wrote each of them at a differ ent point in his career, for a different audience and in a different style. They contribute to our knowledge about late medieval devotion and illustrate the transformation of late medieval intellectual life in Central Europe.

Persisting in Folly

Postcolonial Slavic Literatures After Communism

Russian Writers in Search of Wisdom, 1963–2013 The theme of foolishness has long occupied an unusually prominent place in Russian cul ture, touching on key questions of national, spiritual, and intellectual identity. In litera ture, the figure of the fool – and the voice of the fool – has carried additional appeal as an enduring source of comic and stylistic inno vation. Never has this appeal been stronger than in the past half-century, whether as a re action to the «scientific atheism» and official culture of the late-socialist era, or as a response to the intellectual and moral disorientation that accompanied the collapse of the Soviet Union. Persisting in Folly traces three contrast ing phases within this period: the «praise of folly» that underpins acknowledged samiz dat masterpieces by Venedikt Erofeev, Yuz Aleshkovsky, and Sasha Sokolov; the scepti cal appraisals of the Russian cult of the fool offered in the 1980s by Viktor Erofeev and Dmitry Galkovsky; and the legacy of this con flicted tradition in post-Soviet prose. By com bining close readings with a rich comparative and contextual framework, this book charts a new path through recent Russian literature and offers a wide-ranging consideration of the causes and consequences of Russian writers’ enduring quest for wisdom through folly.

How postcolonial are the literatures of post communist countries such as Poland, Russia, and Ukraine? Are they postcolonial on the level of sociopolitical conditions, postcolonial modes of representation, or of a (post-)colo nial mind? The contributors consider and re spond to the heuristic questions and to the claim for accuracy which purports that Slavic literatures after communism are indeed post colonial – in a no more metaphorical way than the «classic» cases of postcolonial literatures, whose postcoloniality can be traced to the co lonialism of overseas empires. The contribu tions to this volume deal with the exploration of literary representation and hence of post colonial textuality.

Manea’s aes thetics is seen also as an Eastern European ethics, significant for the writer’s status while living and working under the Communist cen sorship in a totalitarian state and in the global context of World literature.
