ref. B9798765110997Paperback / softback. New. An examination of Spanglish Portuñol and Judeo-Spanish literatures that builds on sociolinguistic understandings of the intersections of language nation and identity to develop the theoretical frameworks of “linguistic labor” and “literary doulas.” Connecting the metaphor of labor to the human life cycle Remy Attig introduces the notion of literary doulas. These doulas accompany a community as a body of literature is born akin to the doula as midwife or in the case of Judeo-Spanish writes the language as a form of linguistic palliative care for a community whose historical language is facing imminent death the death doula. Presenting three case studies of Spanglish Portuñol and Judeo-Spanish the first part of Linguistic Labor and Literary Doulas places the emergence of these languages in their respective geographies and contexts. Attig discusses the work of authors and literary doulas including Susana Chávez-Silverman Gloria Anzaldúa Fabián Severo and Matilda Koén-Sarano. The framework of linguistic labor relates the creation of a literary corpus in an undervalued or stigmatized language context to other forms of domestic or gendered labor often the responsibility of women and queer people. In the second part of the book Attig places these literatures and theories in discussion with emerging scholarship in translinguistics queer theories and translation studies. By applying the notion of translinguistics to useful case studies that challenge traditional understandings of the frontiers between languages Linguistic Labor and Literary Doulas models productive ways that we can discuss real-world linguistic practices as valuable aspects of culture and identity. paperback
ref. B9798765122754Paperback / softback. New. A representative overview of some of the most pressing concerns in contemporary literary criticism in South Africa demonstrating literary form's shaping power in the interpretation of politically contentious content. Rather than pressing literature into the service of a political cause or programme this study's purpose – its politics of interpretation – is to open literature to the potential of human experience in both the personal and the public life. The society of focus – South Africa – is a society of political contestation. Instead of prioritizing the what of contestation however Michael Chapman explores contestation through the how of the literary work. In sharp transactions between an intransitivity of form and a compulsion to communicate the book elucidates an ethics of aesthetics in J. M. Coetzee and Nadine Gordimer and the best of modernism and the worst of modernism in Roy Campbell’s poetry. It also asks: Can Themba’s ‘style’ of the shebeens in the 1950s be re-visited in a contemporary context of gender-based abuse Why or how are Ellen Kuzwayo and Mtutuzeli Matshoba writing in the ‘struggle’ years of the 1970s simultaneously less than artists and more than artists Has the interpretative frame of the ‘postcolonial’ best served fiction after apartheid What language of interpretation best releases the voices of contemporary women’s poetry: a poetry which in its play on identities and identifications looks both inwards to its locality and outwards to the globe Alert to both South Africa’s colonial past and its assertions of today Literary Transactions in South Africa pursues the challenge of interpreting a literature of disjuncture between Africa and the West or the South and the North. paperback
ref. B9798765122129Paperback / softback. New. An intersectional investigation of identity formation in Marcel Proust’s magnum opus. As metonyms for broader categories such as class sexuality and ethnicity the three most discussed identity groups in Proust’s À la Recherche du Temps Perdu – snobs inverts and Jews – prove to be deeply intertwined and perplexing representations. Attentive to these interwoven complexities Proust's Snobs Inverts and Jews examines the novelist’s exploitation of classification systems as a means to subvert the notion of a fixed identity. To illustrate Proust’s challenges to a social order that restricts our perceptions of identity Adeline Soldin addresses the inconsistencies and friction surrounding the portrayal of these key figures in his seven-volume novel. Many scholars have recognized that the narrator’s formative journey in La Recherche leads to disillusionment and increased mockery of his fellow characters. Soldin contends however that Proust does not merely deride characters’ behavior but rather interrogates their diverse motivations and tendencies thereby exposing the performative nature of identity. Proust's Snobs Inverts and Jews draws on Judith Butler's theories of performativity to illustrate Proust’s precocious portrayal of identity in La Recherche as an elusive unattainable idea that characters pursue yet consistently fail to establish. Ultimately the enigmatic and anonymous narrator models fluidity and promotes fantasy and imagination to compensate for the limitations imposed on individuals by social and linguistic conventions. paperback
ref. B9798765109168Paperback / softback. New. The most current multidisciplinary and multivocal engagement with Sade’s enduring influences on modernism and the philosophical need for continued analysis of his work and the questions it raises. From Lacan to Dalí through Simone de Beauvoir Beckett Horkheimer Burroughs Pasolini Foucault Deleuze up to Žižek the Marquis de Sade’s influence and impact on modernism and modern thinking is hard to measure. Understanding Sade Understanding Modernism presents its readers with a chance to reflect on the importance of this radical oeuvre from different perspectives. Contributors examine Sadean literature and thought through some of its main texts including 120 Days of Sodom History of Juliette The Crimes of Love and Philosophy in the Boudoir in a series of comparative essays that not only examine Sade’s influence in French European and American thought but also critique it in the context of some of modern philosophy’s most relevant subjects: ecology nature universalism and the links between ethics and aesthetics. The final section identifies key concepts and notions within Sade's corpus in a series of entries offering context and a discussion of their relevance for current thought. paperback

ref. B9798765119433Paperback / softback. New. This study bridges the chronological divide between the Romantic era and the first six decades of the 20th century interpreting John Cowper Powys 1872–1963 as a major under-recognized contributor to the cultural transmission of Romanticism. Kim Wheatley’s John Cowper Powys and the Afterlife of Romanticism uncovers the surprising extent to which this multi-faceted Modernist-era author reworked key concerns of the Romantic poets. Wheatley shows how Powys’s prose rewritings of Romantic poetry contribute to the story of the posthumous life of Romanticism especially its environmental legacy. In particular the book expands our understanding of the early 20th-century reception of William Wordsworth and John Keats. Wheatley argues that Powys anticipates and presciently interrogates recent revisionary critical approaches to the Romantics primarily materialist eco-critical approaches and therefore invites a fresh environmentalist criticism open to the transcendental and the supernatural. Chapters range across Powys’s extensive oeuvre investigating his treatment of Wordsworth and Keats in his works of fiction autobiographical writings popular philosophical books and essays of literary appreciation including his Autobiography 1934 his four major Wessex novels – Wolf Solent 1929 A Glastonbury Romance 1932 Weymouth Sands 1934 and Maiden Castle 1936 – and his later Welsh historical novels Owen Glendower 1941 and Porius 1951. Wheatley demonstrates how Powys uniquely combines sense-based nature-worship the leveling of animate and inanimate and care for disabled human beings along with mystical and magical themes into an all-encompassing ecological vision more capacious than any imagined by the Romantics themselves. paperback

ref. B9798765125021Paperback / softback. New. The Emprise of Poetry analyzes the insidious entwinement of anti-Americanism and antisemitism in modern and contemporary German culture through the writings of one of its most acclaimed literary figures: Dresden native Durs Grünbein 1962-. Michael Eskin offers an unprecedented view of the American-cum-Jewish discontents at the heart of modern and present-day German culture through the exemplary lens of the work of Durs Grünbein the most widely translated and globally honored living German poet and the only one to have been hailed as the Berlin Republic’s “most qualified contemporary candidate for the office of German national poet.” Yet as Eskin outlines Grünbein’s work contains a paradoxical and tension-filled twofold self-construction: as an idiosyncratically ‘American’ poet and Ezra Pound’s vociferously philosemitic heir who merely happens to be writing in German as it were conjoined with an avidly anti-American German poet who writes emphatically and not always savorily as a German and a self-proclaimed heir to the legacies of Celan and Kafka – most notably on matters American and Jewish. Against the foil of these tensions Eskin traces and documents postwar German high culture’s persisting inability to purge itself of ideological toxins that leach into the mainstream from centuries-old prejudices and antagonisms revolving around Germany’s love-hate bond with America as well as its ostensibly enduring suspicion and antipathy toward Jews. Eskin’s deep dive into the ‘American’ Grünbein’s apparent philosemitism coupled with the German Grünbein’s antisemitically-inflected anti-Americanism reveals the fault lines underlying the complex and contradictory legacies and contexts of postwar German culture. paperback
ref. B9798765106518Paperback / softback. New. Writing the Mountains reconsiders the role of mountains in German language fiction from 1800 to the present and argues that in a range of texts from E.T.A. Hoffmann’s “Die Bergwerke zu Falun” 1819 to Elfriede Jelinek’s Die Kinder der Toten 1995 and beyond mountains serve as dynamic spaces of material change that generate aesthetic and narrative innovation. In contrast to dominant critical approaches to the Alpine landscape in literature in which mountain ranges often features as passive settings or which trace the influence of geographical and geological sciences in literary productions this study argues for the dynamic role in literature of presumably rigid mineral structures. In German-language fiction after 1800 the counter-intuitive topology of rocky mountain ranges and unfathomable subterranean depths of the Alpine imaginary functions as a space of exception which appears to reconfirm and radically challenge the foundations of Enlightenment thought. Writing the Mountains reads the mountain range as a rigid yet permeable liminal space. Within this zone semiotic orders are unsettled as is the division between organic and inorganic between the human and the other. paperback
