Funny Dostoevsky: New Perspectives on the Dostoevskian Light Side
Paperback / softback. New. <p><b>Tapping into the emergence of scholarly comedy studies since the 2000s this collection brings new perspectives to bear on the Dostoevskian light side.</b><br /><br /> <i>Funny Dostoevksy</i> demonstrates how and why Dostoevsky is one of the most humorous 19th-century authors even as he plumbs the depths of the human psyche and the darkest facets of European modernity. The authors go beyond the more traditional categories of humor such as satire parody and the carnivalesque to apply unique lenses to their readings of Dostoevsky. These include cinematic slapstick and the body in <i>Crime and Punishment</i> the affective turn and hilarious and deadly impatience in <i>Demons</i> and ontological jokes in<i> Notes from Underground </i>and <i>The Idiot</i>.<br /><br /> The authors – coincidentally all women including some of the most established scholars in the field alongside up-and-comers – address gender and the marginalization of comedy culminating in a chapter on Dostoevsky's "funny and furious" women and explore the intersections of gender and humor in literary and culture studies.<br /><br /><i>Funny Dostoevksy</i> applies some of the latest findings on humor and laughter to his writing while comparative chapters bring Dostoevsky's humor into conjunction with other popular works such as Chaplin’s <i>Modern Times</i> and Lin-Manuel Miranda's <i>Hamilton</i>. Written with a verve and wit that Dostoevsky would appreciate this boldly original volume illuminates how humor and comedy in his works operate as vehicles of deconstruction pleasure play and transcendence.</p> paperback

Jane Eyre in German Lands: The Import of Romance 1848–1918
Paperback / softback. New. Lynne Tatlock examines the transmission diffusion and literary survival of <i>Jane Eyre</i> in the German-speaking territories and the significance and effects thereof 1848-1918. Engaging with scholarship on the romance novel she presents an historical case study of the generative power and protean nature of Brontë’s new romance narrative in German translation adaptation and imitation as it involved multiple agents from writers and playwrights to readers publishers illustrators reviewers editors adaptors and translators. Jane Eyre<i> in German Lands </i>traces the ramifications in the paths of transfer that testify to widespread creative investment in romance as new ideas of women’s freedom and equality topped the horizon and sought a home especially in the middle classes. As Tatlock outlines the multiple German instantiations of Brontë’s novel—four translations three abridgments three adaptations for general readers nine adaptations for younger readers plays farces and particularly the fiction of the popular German writer E. Marlitt and its many adaptations—evince a struggle over its meaning and promise. Yet precisely this multiplicity repetition redundancy and proliferation combined with the romance narrative’s intrinsic appeal in the decades between the March Revolutions and women’s franchise enabled the cultural diffusion impact and long-term survival of <i>Jane Eyre</i> as German reading. Though its focus on the circulation of texts across linguistic boundaries and intertwined literary markets and reading cultures Jane Eyre<i> in German Lands</i> unsettles the national paradigm of literary history and makes a case for a fuller and inclusive account of the German literary field. paperback

Kazuo Ishiguro Against World Literature
Paperback / softback. New. <p><b>A study of how Kazuo Ishiguro’s novels respond to and represent the world through characters that are profoundly limited in their understanding of the systems that bind them.</b><br /><br />How has a writer known principally for his contained domestic novels come to represent the most dynamic elements of world literature In <i>Kazuo Ishiguro Against World Literature</i> Chris Holmes expands our understanding of how world literature engages with the most pressing crises of the 20th and 21st centuries by examining Ishiguro’s fascination with characters who are profoundly constrained in their ability to understand global systems to which they are subject. Rather than following the established pattern of so-called global novels which crisscross the planet exhibiting a knowing cosmopolitanism Ishiguro’s fictional engagement with the world comes principally in the form of characters who are cut off from the global systems that abuse them. <br /><br />By examining the ways in which Ishiguro foregrounds the in-process thinking of those who fail to comprehend their place in the flow of politics culture and ideas Holmes positions Ishiguro as the great chronicler of everyday lives and as such prepares a mode of reading world literature that questions the assumptions for how we live and think with others when each of us is deeply limited.</p> paperback

Literature and the Making of the World: Cosmopolitan Texts Vernacular Practices
Paperback / softback. New. This open access book positions itself at the intersection of world literature studies literary anthropology and philosophical critiques of ‘world’ and ‘globe’ concepts. Doing so it investigates how literature imagines and shapes worlds for its readers through linguistically specific cosmopolitan-vernacular dynamics both at the level of textual engagement and on a material level of textual production and circulation. Moving from textual analyses in Part One – ‘Worlds in Texts’ – to combined analyses of texts media and agents in the literary field in Part Two – ‘Texts in Worlds’ – the concerns of these nine chapters range from multilingualism genre and style to material forms such as the little magazine or the scrapbook archive and finally to activities such as travel as a writing profession and literary promotion. With this focus on practice – which geographically engages with Constantinople China Russia western Europe North America southern Africa and India – contributors demonstrate methodologically how world literature studies can bring the empirically specific detail to bear on global modes of analysis. It is precisely through such a dual optic that the world-making capacity of literature becomes apparent. <i>The eBook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 3.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.</i> paperback

Music City and the Roma under Communism

Against this backdrop the book engages with musician Stefan Dymiter known as Corroro as the leader of his own street band: unwelcome in the public space by the authorities merely tolerated by others but admired by many passers-by and respected by his peer Romain musicians and international music stars. It emphasizes the role of Romani musicians in Krakow in shaping the soundscape of the city while also demonstrating their collective and individual strategies to adapt to the new circumstances in terms of the preferred performative techniques repertoire and overall lifestyle. paperback

Our Two-Track Minds: Rehabilitating Freud on Culture
Hardback. New. While many of Freud’s original formulations have required either revision or rejection and replacement with newer models his cultural books such as<i> Civilization and Its Discontents </i>and <i>Totem and Taboo</i> though extremely influential in the early part of the 20th century<i></i> have more recently been either neglected or else dismissed as long-outdated fantasies. Robert A. Paul shows that Freud's ideas in these books and his thinking on how human society is possible given the unpromising materials out of which it is constructed i.e. human beings can appear in a different and more favorable light when viewed through the lens of contemporary anthropology cultural studies and evolutionary theory. hardcover

Pacific Literatures as World Literature
Paperback / softback. New. <i>Pacific Literatures as World Literature</i> is a conjuration of trans-Pacific poets and writers whose work enacts forces of “becoming oceanic†and suggests a different mode of understanding viewing and belonging to the world. The Pacific past and present remains uneasily amenable to territorial demarcations of national or marine sovereignty. At the same time as a planetary element necessary to sustaining life and well-being the Pacific could become the means to envisioning ecological solidarity if compellingly framed in terms that elicit consent and inspire an imagination of co-belonging and care. The Pacific can signify a bioregional site of coalitional promise as much as a danger zone of antagonistic peril. With ground-breaking writings from authors based in North America Japan Taiwan Korea Hawaii and Guam and new modes of research – including multispecies ethnography and practice ecopoetics and indigenous cosmopolitics – authors explore the socio-political significance of the Pacific and contribute to the development of a collective effort of comparative Pacific studies covering a refreshingly broad ethnographically grounded range of research themes. This volume aims to decenter continental/land poetics as such via long-standing transnational Pacific ties re-worlding Pacific literature as world literature. paperback

Pearl Jam and Philosophy
Paperback / softback. New. The first scholarly discussion on the band <i>Pearl Jam and Philosophy</i> examines both the songs music and lyrics and the activities live performances political commitments of one of the most celebrated and charismatic rock bands of the last 30 years. The book investigates the philosophical aspects of their music at various levels: existential spiritual ethical political metaphysical and aesthetic. This philosophical interpretation is also dependent on the application of textual and poetic analysis: the interdisciplinary volume puts philosophical aspects of the band’s lyrics in close dialogue with 19th- and 20th-century European and American poetry. Through this widespread philosophical examination the book further looks into the band’s immense popularity and commercial success their deeply loyal fanbase and genuine sense of community surrounding their music and the pivotal place the band holds within popular music and contemporary culture. paperback

Re-storying Mediterranean Worlds: New Narratives from Italian Cultures to Global Citizenship
Paperback / softback. New. This book invites readers to think of Mediterranean cultures as interconnected worlds seen in light of how they evolve disappear are reborn and perpetually transform. This perspective intends to build bridges between the Northern and Southern coasts of the sea in order to broaden and deepen our understanding of current evolutions in Mediterranean worlds at the cultural literary artistic and geopolitical levels. As Paul Valéry suggested we can consider this plural space from the perspective of the intense cultural economic and human exchanges which have always characterized the <i>Mare Nostrum</i>. We can also consider Mediterranean worlds within an open enactive process deeply exploring their evolution between nature and culture examining the natural environment and the transforming relationships between humans and non-humans. The writers and researchers in <i>Re-storying Mediterranean Worlds</i> call for a dialog between the two coasts in order to connect what has been broken. In this volume they highlight an intercultural and creolized conscience traversing the Mediterranean worlds – including Italian French and Tunisian cultures but also migrations from to and within the region – and transcending any idea of communitarian withdrawal. These essays express the urgent need to shift from an understanding of migration as suffering to the notion that mobility is an unalienable right building foundations for a new idea of global citizenship. paperback

Realism: Aesthetics Experiments Politics
Paperback / softback. New. Realism seems to be everywhere both as a trending critical term and as a revitalized aesthetic practice. This volume brings together for the first time three aspects that are pertinent for a proper understanding of realism: its 19th-century aesthetics committed to making reality into an object of serious art; the experiments with and against realism by 20th-century modernist postmodernist or magical realist writing; and the politics of realism especially its ambitions to map the complex realities produced by global capitalism and climate catastrophe. This juxtaposition of aesthetics experiments and politics unsettles the entrenched opposition between realism and experimental literature that tends to ignore the fact that realism by virtue of its commitment to a changing material and social world cannot be but continuously experimenting. The innovative chapters of this book address some of the pressing questions of literary and cultural studies today like the complex relation between historical materialism and new materialisms between science and art or the different aesthetic and political affordances of making systemic analyses against depicting the specificity of the local. Some of the chapters deal with classically realist authors such as George Eliot Émile Zola and Joseph Conrad to gauge the aesthetic radicalism of their diverse realist projects. Others investigate the experimental engagements with realism by authors such as B.S. Johnson J.M. Coetzee or Rachel Cusk. Yet others analyze the politics of realism found in contemporary anglophone novels by writers like Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie David Mitchell or Rohinton Mistry. The readings assembled here are a testament to the diversity of literary realisms from the 19th 20th and 21st centuries and to the ongoing controversies surrounding definitions and deployments of “realism.†paperback
