Автор: Austin James F. Название: Proust, Pastiche, and the Postmodern or Why Style Matters ISBN: 1611486920 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781611486926 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 13332.00 р. Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ.
Описание: In this book, Austin argues against the traditional critical view that minimizes Proust`s practice of pastiche-the imitation of a writer`s style-and that considers it a simple exercise of mastering the predecessor. Instead, this work establishes pastiche as a powerful, ubiquitous practice central to Proust`s entire oeuvre.

Описание:
By exposing the theory of romance to the romance of theory, Diane Elam explores literature's most uncertain, least easily definable and most tenacious genre, assessing its implications for both feminism and the understanding of history.
Arguing for a parallel between postmodernism's divided relation to modernism and romance's difficult stance towards realism, Romancing the Postmodern, first published in 1992, not only highlights how postmodernism questions our assumptions about historical time, it also reintroduces the figure of woman to the theory of both history and literature.

Описание: We celebrate Jane Austen as the mother of the English realist novel, but have you ever wondered why she insists on giving her mature heroines the `perfect happiness` that can only be realized in the romance?

Описание: Asks readers to consider Jane Austen`s happy endings as a `prophetic` rather than merely `illusory` answer to the contradiction that feminine subjectivity represents for history. It has a happy ending for the feminine subject. But that would be against all the empirical odds.
Traditional critics of film adaptation generally assumed a) that the written text is better than the film adaptation because the plot is more intricate and the language richer when pictorial images do not intrude; b) that films are better when particularly faithful to the original; c) that authors do not make good script writers and should not sully their imagination by writing film scripts; d) and often that American films lack the complexity of authored texts because they are sourced out of Hollywood. The 'faithfulness' view has by and large disappeared, and intertextuality is now a generally received notion, but the field still lacks studies with a postmodern methodology and lens.Exploring Hollywood feature films as well as small studio productions, Adaptation Theory and Criticism explores the intertextuality of a dozen films through a series of case studies introduced through discussions of postmodern methodology and practice. Providing the reader with informative background on theories of film adaptation as well as carefully articulated postmodern methodology and issues, Gordon Slethaug includes several case studies of major Hollywood productions and small studio films, some of which have been discussed before (Age of Innocence, Gangs of New York, and Do the Right Thing) and some that have received lesser consideration (Six Degrees of Separation, Smoke, SmokeSignals, Broken Flowers, and various Snow White narratives including Enchanted, Mirror Mirror, and Snow White and the Huntsman). Useful for both film and literary studies students, Adaptation Theory and Criticism cogently combines the existing scholarship and uses previous theories to engage readers to think about the current state of American literature and film.

Описание: The zombie, popular culture`s undead darling, shows no signs of stopping. But as it deliberately conquers pop culture, zombies also adapt to suit our needs and, perhaps more importantly, our desires. This work presents examinations of the romantic zombie, for better or worse, as the newest inductee to the Hall of Paranormal Lovers.

Описание: Why is Shrek one of the greatest selling DVDs of all time? Why are shampoo advertisements based on Sleeping Beauty? Why is it that the same simple stories keep being told? This study attempts to explain why fairy tales keep popping up in the most unexpected places and why the best storytellers begin their tales with `once upon a time`.
Описание: This volume suggests that reading and writing about literature are ways to gain an ethical understanding of how we live in the world. It sets out to show through a reading of stories from the Bible, that violence imposed on gender, race and the body-politic are not new to the postmodern world.
