Celebrates Brigid Brophy’s life’s work, its diversity, originality and achievement

Includes previously unpublished written and illustrated material by Brophy
Contributions from leading literary scholars, biographers, creative writers and activists
This book explores all aspects of Brophy’s literary career, alongside contributions on animal rights, vegetarianism, anti-vivisectionism, humanism, feminism and sexual politics, not only celebrating Brophy’s eclectic achievements but fully reflecting them.

This book presents the rhetorical means of creating discourses about a writer and examines how the critic’s viewpoint mediated via rhetoric tropes interplays with cultural institutions and their rules (newspaper criticism, university, schools). It eventually shows the place of literature in culture and the workings of cultural memory. The book studies rhetorics, discourse, and social psychology applied to cultural institutions. In this respect, it offers a completely innovative approach and method. The author also provides an exemplary study of the famous Polish modernist poet and writer Miron Bia?oszewski, and presents a detailed guide and an account of his way towards becoming a major figure in Polish culture.

Описание: One of the most penetrating and sympathetic explorations ever undertaken by one writer into the mind of another, Prancing Novelist is far more than a simple tribute or work of research. Prancing Novelist is not only a monument to Firbank, but is also a showcase for Brophy`s own uproarious prose, not to mention her genius for telling good stories.

Описание: Looking closely at nineteenth-century texts and twentieth-century novels written by African American women about antebellum America, Resistance Reimagined highlights examples of black women’s activism within a society that spoke so much of freedom but granted it so selectively. This book introduces readers to types of resistance that differ from the militancy and violence often associated with activism, and it confronts expectations about what African American literature can and should be.Regis Fox analyzes the work of authors including Anna Julia Cooper, Elizabeth Keckly, Harriet Wilson, and Sherley Anne Williams. Connected by their intellectualism, these thinkers are astutely attuned to the areas of American society that notions of liberalism and progress do not reach. The world they portray in their work is built on philosophical contradictions, legal paradoxes, and incoherent social practices that support white supremacy. Fox shows how these women use their writing to protest antiblack violence, reject superficial reform, call for major sociopolitical change, and challenge the false promises of American democracy.
Описание: Written during the Italian winter of 1930, The Blue Spill is an unfinished detective novel written by Ezra Pound – the leading figure of Modernist poetry in the 20th century – and his long-time companion Olga Rudge. Published for the first time in this authoritative critical edition, the novel reflects Pound’s voracious reading of popular fiction as it echoes and parodies such writers as Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers and P.G. Wodehouse. Based on the original manuscripts of the novel, this critical edition includes annotation and textual commentary throughout. The book also includes critical essays exploring the contexts of the work, from the dynamics of artistic collaboration to the growing popularity of detective fiction at the beginning of the 20th-century and Pound’s wider experiments in multimedia artistry. Taken together this unique publication sheds new light on the relationship between the literary avant-garde and popular culture in the Modernist period.

Описание: Forschungsinitiativen zum Thema Avantgarde und Moderne nehmen in der europaischen Forschungslandschaft weiterhin zu. Die experimentellen Literaturen und die Kunste in Europa zwischen ca. 1850 und 1950 und ihre Nachwirkungen sind als Lehr- und Forschungsbereiche an den europaischen Forschungsinstitutionen und in den Lehrplanen heutzutage nicht mehr wegzudenken. Avantgarde und Moderne haben sich in den letzten Jahrzehnten zu unterschiedlichen, aber mehrfach miteinander verzahnten Forschungsgebieten entwickelt. Innerhalb der franzosischen und deutschen akademischen Welt bleibt der Sammelbegriff „modernism" weniger gelaufig – „die (klassische) Moderne" und „modernite" fungieren hier als nahe liegende Aquivalente zu demjenigen, was im internationalen Kontext als eine zeitliche und raumliche Ko-Okkurenz kunstlerischer Ausdrucksformen und asthetischer Theorien namhaft gemacht werden kann, die ungefahr zwischen 1850 und 1950 angesiedelt werden kann. Auf ahnliche Weise entfaltet die Bezeichnung „Avantgarde" eine Reihe haufig widerspruchlicher Konnotationen. Fur manche bedeutet die Avantgarde den radikalsten experimentellen Bruch der Kunste und Literaturen mit den Darstellungs- und Erzahlkonventionen des 19. Jahrhundert: Im fruhen zwanzigsten Jahrhundert zeugen davon Avantgardebewegungen wie Futurismus, Expressionismus, Dada und Surrealismus, d.h. Stromungen, die als die „heroische" Phase der Avantgarde bezeichnet werden konnen. Fur andere gehort die Avantgarde zu einer kulturellen und konzeptuellen Ordnung, die sich weitgehend von der 'modernistischen' unterscheidet oder sogar abhebt: Die avantgardistischen Experimente ab den funfziger Jahren des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts kommen in dieser Hinsicht weitgehend ohne modernistische Begleiterscheinung aus. Die Buchreihe Studien zur Europaischen Avantgarde und Moderne mochte der Kompliziertheit der unterschiedlichen europaischen Forschungstraditionen gerecht werden und strebt danach, die breite linguistische, terminologische und methodologische Vielfalt abzudecken. Anhand einer zweijahrlichen Sammlung von Beitragen in englischer, franzosischer und deutscher Sprache mochte die Reihe nicht nur die franzosisch-, deutsch- und englischsprachigen, sondern auch die nord-, sud-, zentral- und osteuropaischen Ergebnisse der Avantgarde- und Moderne-Forschung einbeziehen. Die Reihe sammelt die neuesten und ertragreichsten Beitrage zur Forschung und widmet sich der Erforschung der gesamten europaischen Avantgarde und Moderne, ihrer Vorlaufer und ihrem Nachklang im Laufe des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts. Die Studien zur Europaischen Avantgarde und Moderne fordern die interdisziplinare und intermediale Erforschung experimenteller Asthetiken und Poetiken und setzen es sich zum Ziel, das Interesse an den kulturellen Zusammenhangen und Kontexten der Avantgarde und der Moderne in Europa anzuregen. Beitrage werden internationalen Experten zur anonymen Begutachtung vorgelegt. Chefredakteure: Sascha Bru (Leuven University) und Peter Nicholls (New York University).

Описание:
There is a new form of design practice within the contemporary fashion industry which is active in complex forms of social commentary and critique. While fashion in the modernist era has shown signs of criticism and subversion, these were either in the form of subcultures or perversions, such as punk or BDSM styling. Today, however, these genres have been absorbed into the fashion industry itself, meaning that "critical fashion" is now far from limited to the subcultures from which it came. This book explores this new space for criticism within the popular fashion sphere to demonstrate how designers are disrupting conventions, challenging beliefs and stirring change from within the system itself.
Critical Fashion Practice considers a range of contemporary designers across the globe, from the US to Japan, whose conceptual designs embody this critical language, including case studies such as Rei Kawakubo's deconstructive silhouettes for Comme des Garcons and Walter Van Beirendonck's sadomasochistic menswear collections, amongst other key players such as Miuccia Prada, Vivienne Westwood and Viktor & Rolf. Arguing that the rise of critical fashion coincides with a noticeable decline in the criticality of art, Geczy and Karaminas go beyond slotting fashion into previously established art theories. Conceiving a new cultural role for fashion that affords insight into identity, class, race, sexuality and gender, this book shows how fashion can not only reflect and comment on, but can also be a part of social change.

Описание:
Far from teleological historiography, the pan-European perspective on Early Modern drama offered in this volume provides answers to why, how, where and when the given phenomena of theatre appear in history.
Using theories of circulation and other concepts of exchange, transfer and movement, the authors analyze the development and differentiation of European secular and religious drama, within the disciplinary framework of comparative literature and the history of literature and concepts.
Within this frame, aspects of major interest are the relationship between tradition and innovation, the status of genre, the proportion of autonomous and heteronomous creational dispositions within the artefacts or genres they belong to, as well as strategies of functionalization in the context of a given part of the cultural net.
Contributions cover a broad range of topics, including poetics of Early Modern Drama; political, institutional and social practices; history of themes and motifs (Stoffgeschichte); history of genres/cross-fertilization between genres; textual traditions and distribution of texts; questions of originality and authorship; theories of circulation and net structures in Drama Studies.
The Dionysian – an impetus towards abandon, intoxication and creativity, but also chaos, death and dissolution – captured the imagination of both Gabriele D’Annunzio and Thomas Mann, two authors whose work otherwise seems antithetical. Both admired Friedrich Nietzsche and engaged with his iconic yet enigmatic idea of the «Dionysian» in their depictions of writers and artists. Like many of their own fictional characters, D’Annunzio and Mann appear to have been drawn towards this idea and its significance in an artistic context. In their novels and short stories, both portray writers and artists who rely on the precarious form of creativity that results from interactions with the Dionysian. This book argues that the portraits of the artist offered by D’Annunzio and Mann, and the depictions of creativity found within these portraits, demonstrate that these two giants of European literature were more alike than has hitherto been acknowledged – and more alike than they would perhaps have liked to think.
This book was the winner of the 2016 Early Career Researcher Prize in German Studies, a collaboration between the Institute for German Studies at the University of Birmingham and Peter Lang.
