Blood Narrative is a comparative literary and cultural study of post-World War II literary and activist texts by New Zealand Maori and American Indians—groups who share much in their responses to European settler colonialism. Chadwick Allen reveals the complex narrative tactics employed by writers and activists in these societies that enabled them to realize unprecedented practical power in making both their voices and their own sense of indigeneity heard. Allen shows how both Maori and Native Americans resisted the assimilationist tide rising out of World War II and how, in the 1960s and 1970s, they each experienced a renaissance of political and cultural activism and literary production that culminated in the formation of the first general assembly of the World Council of Indigenous Peoples. He focuses his comparison on two fronts: first, the blood/land/memory complex that refers to these groups' struggles to define indigeneity and to be freed from the definitions of authenticity imposed by dominant settler cultures. Allen's second focus is on the discourse of treaties between American Indians and the U.S. government and between Maori and Great Britain, which he contends offers strong legal and moral bases from which these indigenous minorities can argue land and resource rights as well as cultural and identity politics. With its implicit critique of multiculturalism and of postcolonial studies that have tended to neglect the colonized status of indigenous First World minorities, Blood Narrative will appeal to students and scholars of literature, American and European history, multiculturalism, postcolonialism, and comparative cultural studies.

Описание: The aim of this project is to provide a sustained analysis of the concept of ‘self’ in Statius’ Thebaid. It is this project’s contention that the poem is profoundly interested in ideas of identity and selfhood. The poem stages itself as a metapoetic exploration of the difficulties for a belated epicist in finding a place in the literary canon; it shows the impossibility of squaring large-scale epic poetics with small-scale, finely-wrought Callimacheanism; it reflects the violent disjunction between Statius’ authorial pose as a poet without power and the extreme violence of his poetics; it opens up the intricacies of constructing original, coherent characters out of intertextual, exemplary models. The central tenet of the project is that Statius in the Thebaid stages his own 'death', but does so that his poem may live. This book is intended for an academic audience including undergraduate and graduate students as well as specialists in the field. Although the project will be of primary importance to readers of Flavian literature, it will also be of interest to those who study intertextuality and characterisation in Roman literature more generally, selfhood and identity in Roman literature and culture and the reception of Roman literature.

Описание: This volume draws together eleven essays by scholars of the Hebrew Bible, New Testament, Greco-Roman religion and early Judaism, to address the ways that conceptions of identity and otherness shape the interpretation of biblical and other religiously authoritative texts.
The contributions explore how interpreters of scriptural texts regularly assume or assert an identification between their own communities and those described in the text, while ignoring the cultural, social, and religious differences between themselves and the text's earliest audiences. Comparing a range of examples, these essays address varying ways in which social identity has shaped the historical contexts, implied audiences, rhetorical shaping, redactional development, literary appropriation, and reception history of particular texts over time. Together, they open up new avenues for studying the relations between social identity, scriptural interpretation, and religious authority.

Описание: Albert Henrichs’ important and wide-ranging work on the Greek god Dionysos is well known to classical philologists and to all those interested in Greek culture and its modern reception. Fifteen fundamental studies of the most fascinating and compelling of Greek gods are reprinted in this third volume of his Collected Papers, together with a comprehensive index making the riches of Henrichs’ scholarship more readily accessible. The volume will thus become a basic work of reference. The papers are organised in four groups dealing with the identity and nature of Dionysos; his myths, cults, and iconography; maenads and maenadic ritual; and modern reception and understanding of Dionysos and the Dionysiac. Among the papers included are “Changing Dionysiac Identities,” “Myth Visualised: Dionysos and His Circle in Sixth-Century Attic Vase-Painting,” “Between Country and City: Cultic Dimensions of Dionysos in Athens and Attica,” “Der rasende Gott: Zur Psychologie des Dionysos and des Dionysischen in Mythos und Literatur,” “Dionysische Imaginationswelten: Wein, Tanz, Erotik,” “Greek Maenadism from Olympias to Messalina,” and “Loss of Self, Suffering, Violence: The Modern View of Dionysos from Nietsche to Girard.”

Описание: This book was the winner of the 2011 Peter Lang Young Scholars Competition in German Studies. The author demonstrates the centrality of topography for confronting the past in this study of the work of Ingeborg Bachmann and Thomas Bernhard, who engage with the Austrian repression of its traumatic historical legacy.
Описание: This book, first published in 1987, examines the elements that constitute the French identity through the experience of the Second World War - a constant point of reference, a landmark to which the collective consciousness returns again and again.
