Описание: Since the appearance of Bakhtin`s famous study of Rabelais and popular culture, Rabelais`s writings have been a major focus of debate in literary and cultural criticism. Jerome Schwartz draws on both sides of the historical/formalist debate in this new reading of the four authentic books of Rabelais`s Gargantua and Pantagruel.

Описание: Through a series of case studies spanning the bounds of literature, photography, essay, and manifesto, this book examines the ways in which literary texts do theoretical, ethical, and political work. Nicole Simek approaches the relationship between literature, theory, and public life through a specific site, the French Antillean islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique, and focuses on two mutually elucidating terms: hunger and irony. Reading these concepts together helps elucidate irony’s creative potential and limits. If hunger gives irony purchase by anchoring it in particular historical and material conditions, irony also gives a literature and politics of hunger a means for moving beyond a given situation, for pushing through the inertias of history and culture.

Описание: This book seeks to clarify the concept of irony and its relation to moral commitment. Frazier provides a discussion of the contrasting accounts of Richard Rorty and Soren Kierkegaard. He argues that, while Rorty`s position is much more defensible and thoughtful than his detractors acknowledge, it is surprisingly more parochial than Kierkegaard`s.
