Описание:
Nina, a drifter from southern Spain comes to London in search of experience, only to find that the strangest of stories is hiding in her father's loft in Almer?a...
A playfully concocted, fast-paced novel committed to the irresistible pleasure of reading, both a celebration and a critique of our relationship to objects (from fetishes, to curios, to commodities, to objectum sexuality, to our becoming cyborgs through our addiction to technology), "Philosophical Toys" travels through different times, countries and experiences as chance leads Nina to encounter time and again the enigmatic nature of things, which end up transforming her into that most rare of species: a female philosopher.
Witty and elegiac, "Philosophical Toys" takes the reader on a tour of fetishism, late capitalist culture, Bu?uels films, psychoanalysis, Alzheimer's disease, as well as the avatars of belonging to two cultures, an experience increasingly shared by a myriad of expatriates.

Описание: A moving exploration of families facing death, in the voices of those affected in one rural corner of Portugal.
Описание: Extending the study of post-9/11 literature to include transnational perspectives, this book explores the ways in which contemporary writers from Europe as well as the USA have responded to the attacks on the World Trade Centre and the ensuing 'war on terror.' Transatlantic Fictions of 9/11 and the 'War on Terror' demonstrates the ways in which contemporary fiction has wrestled with anxieties about national and international security in the 21st century.
Reading a wide range of novels by such writers as Amy Waldman, Michael Cunningham, Fr d ric Beigbeder, Ian McEwan, JosephO'Neill, Moshin Hamid, Jos Saramago, Ricardo Men ndez Salm n, J.M. Coetzee and Salman Rushdie, Susana Ara jo explores how the rhetoric of the 'war on terror' has shaped recent representations of the city and how "security]? discourses circulate transatlantically and transnationally. By focusing not only on 9/11 but also on the way subsequent events such as the wars in Afghanistan and in Iraq are represented in fiction, this book demonstrates how notions of "terror+? and "insecurity+? have been absorbed, reworked or critiqued in fiction. Ara jo examines to what extent transatlantic relations have reinforced or challenged new fictions of "white western middle class captivity.+?
