Описание: In At Penpoint Monica Popescu traces the development of African literature during the second half of the twentieth century to address the intertwined effects of the Cold War and decolonization on literary history. Popescu draws on archival materials from the Soviet-sponsored Afro-Asian Writers Association and the CIA-funded Congress for Cultural Freedom alongside considerations of canonical literary works by Ayi Kwei Armah, Ng?g? wa Thiong'o, Ousmane Sembène, Pepetela, Nadine Gordimer, and others. She outlines how the tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union played out in the aesthetic and political debates among African writers and intellectuals. These writers decolonized aesthetic canons even as superpowers attempted to shape African cultural production in ways that would advance their ideological and geopolitical goals. Placing African literature at the crossroads of postcolonial theory and studies of the Cold War, Popescu provides a new reassessment of African literature, aesthetics, and knowledge production.

Описание: A little girl on her summer vacation at her grandparents' rides a bicycle with her friend, a cat named Philippe, to the neighboring forest, thus embarking on an unexpected adventure. On this adventure, she meets fabulous characters: Rusalia, Boygen, also called the Great Detour, DallE, none other than Salvador Dali --now transmogrified into a new existence on the planet Trafalmadore, and even Steve Howe, guitarist of the progressive rock band Yes, and also her neighbor, the dog Geppetto, who receives a mysterious resemblance to Howe. Juli, DallE, and Steve climb together into the Pleiades, on the planet of the ineffable--Corianthe (with its moon Astarhe), where they briefly learn about its forms of relief, about the Alexandrian Sea of Slightly Rosy Amethyst, about the Corianthians and their customs, about the connection between the inhabitants of the planet and children on Earth, and about picomers--the primary forms from which earthly desires are born. There, Juli makes a wish and finds out about the elephant ladder. Her adventure lasts a whole day--by chance, exactly the day of the summer solstice ...

Описание: The book presents methods for the objective analysis of poetic language. Common objects of literary studies such as rhythm, semantic explications, interpretation and personal impressions are avoided. Only those properties of poetic texts are taken into account that could be quantified. The major chapters contain the analysis of phonic phenomena (frequency, euphony, assonance, alliteration, aggregation, rhyme), word properties (aspects of frequency, length, richness, word classes, sequences of word properties, characterisations). The synergetic control cycle is the result of the study of mutual links between properties. For all methods both statistical tests (evaluation, comparison), theoretical derivations (models), and examples are presented. The book is dedicated to the work of the famous Romanian poet Mihai Eminescu whose complete work was analysed, which made detailed illustrations of the method possible. The methods can be used mutatis mutandis for any language and text. It is the first comprehensive quantitative analysis of a poetic work.

Katherine Haldane Grenier uses published and unpublished travel accounts, guidebooks, and the popular press to examine the evolution of a false view of Scotland as untouched by nineteenth-century transformations.
