réf. B9781501379338Paperback / softback. New. Afrosonic Life explores the role sonic innovations in the African diaspora play in articulating methodologies for living the afterlife of slavery. Developing and extending debates on Afrosonic cultures the book attends to the ways in which the acts of technological subversion experimentation and production complement and interrupt the intellectual project of modernity. Music making processes such as dub turntablism hip-hop dj techniques and the remix innovate methods of expressing subjecthoods beyond the dominant language of Western “Man” and the market. These sonic innovations utilize sound as a methodology to institute a rehumanizing subjectivity in which sound dislodges the hierarchical ordering of racial schemas. Afrosonic Life is invested in excavating and elaborating the nuanced and novel ways of music making and sound creation found in the African diaspora. paperback
réf. B9781501377051Paperback / softback. New. Beyond Safety argues that concerns about the ethical impossibility of individual safety in the face of risks with increasingly obvious global consequences alters representations of neoliberal contemporary life. As the climate crises in the Caribbean and Australia ongoing European refugee and American border crises and most recently anxieties about Coronavirus illustrate contemporary life is characterized by global connections that produce and reflect precarious outcomes and dangers. The ability to ignore risk or shift it to others underscores the fact that it is mitigable for particular segments of society while inescapable for others. Emily Johansen investigates depictions of global danger and safety in contemporary transnational fictional and popular texts—those characterized by a narrative or representational emphasis on border crossing and global interdependences. She demonstrates how these texts use risk to question and re-imagine the norms and practices of contemporary global citizenship. Beyond Safety thus brings together three of the central keywords of contemporary literary criticism of the last ten years cosmopolitanism precarity neoliberalism and shows how their intersection allows for a fuller conception of contemporary life and imagines a new global future. paperback
réf. B9781501374913Paperback / softback. New. Studies that connect the Spanish 17th and 20th centuries usually do so through a conservative lens assuming that the blunt imperialism of the early modern age endlessly glorified by Franco’s dictatorship was a constant in the Spanish imaginary. This book by contrast recuperates the thriving humanistic vision of the Golden Age celebrated by Spanish progressive thinkers writers and artists in the decades prior to 1939 and the Francoist Regime. The hybrid modern stance of the country in the 1920s and early 1930s would uniquely incorporate the literary and political legacies of the Spanish Renaissance into the ambitious design of a forward democratic future. In exploring the complex understanding of the multifaceted event that is modernity the life story and literary opus of Miguel de Cervantes 1547-1616 acquires a new significance given the weight of the author in the poetic and political endeavors of those Spanish left-wing reformists who believed they could shape a new Spanish society. By recovering their progressive dream buried for almost a century of incipient and full Spanish modernities Ana María G. Laguna establishes a more balanced understanding of both the modern and early modern periods and casts doubt on the idea of a persistent conservatism in Golden Age literature and studies. This book ultimately serves as a vigorous defense of the canonical as well as the neglected critical traditions that promoted Cervantes’s humanism in the 20th century. paperback
réf. B9781501369438Paperback / softback. New. Using cine-ethnomusicology as a focus Cineworlding introduces readers to ways of thinking eco-cinematically.

réf. B9781501374142Paperback / softback. New. This open access book explores literary works and practices – always existing in the dynamic relation between locations and orientations – in a series of carefully designed case studies. Explicitly expressed or implied manifesting itself sometimes as dislocation and disorientation the claiming of space by any symbolic means necessary is revealed as a constant effect of literary endeavors. In dialogue with geopolitics of culture sociology and anthropology attention to literary locations and orientations brings spatial particularity into the study of world literatures. These case studies demonstrate that four key terms cosmopolitan vernacular location orientation can frame analyses of very different types of literary acts and texts in the contemporary period allowing for distinctions that are not captured within the grids of other conceptual pairs like centre-periphery local-global postcolonial-metropolitan North-South. With this framing expressive practices in a wide range of regions – including Europe Africa the Middle East and the Pacific – are analysed in ways that bring out how spatiality is at stake in the cosmopolitan-vernacular dynamic.

réf. B9781501382390Paperback / softback. New. Lynne Tatlock examines the transmission diffusion and literary survival of Jane Eyre 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 in German Lands 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 Jane Eyre as German reading. Though its focus on the circulation of texts across linguistic boundaries and intertwined literary markets and reading cultures Jane Eyre in German Lands unsettles the national paradigm of literary history and makes a case for a fuller and inclusive account of the German literary field. paperback
réf. B9781501374197Paperback / 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.

réf. B9781501380853Paperback / softback. New. This book highlights the role of Romani musical presence in Central and Eastern Europe especially from Krakow in the Communist period and argues that music can and should be treated as one of the main points of relation between Roma and non-Roma. It discusses Romani performers and the complexity of their situation as conditioned by the political situations starkly affected by the Communist regime and then by its fall. 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
