Описание:
“The contributors to the volume, coming from different areas of the Humanities
and Social Sciences, address several timely and important issues that
bring together richly diverse perspectives and advance current debates in
a range of fields, by carefully decoding literary texts covering a large timespan,
as well as political discourse, the discourse of advertising, the discourse
of education, and transpersonal discourse.”
—Professor Arleen Ionescu, Shanghai Jiao Tong University
Every transdisciplinary study on voyage and/or emotion will offer new
insights into the multifarious facets of these two concepts. Taking a sociolinguistic
turn, this volume prompts the audience to cross the borders of a
variety of genres in order to discover new strands of thought. While the first
part highlights the multiple facets of the voyage as initiatory journey, as a
quest for an existence code, as a spiritual passage that the traveller experiences
in search for the Self or for the Other, the second part of the volume
seeks to address the temporality and spatiality of emotions, the ideological
dimension of the public and private space, outlining at the same time the
perception of the voyage as an intercultural and interlinguistic exchange.

Описание: American Fiction in Transition is a study of the observer-hero narrative, a highly significant but critically neglected genre of the American novel. Through the lens of this transitional genre, the book explores the 1990s in relation to debates about the end of postmodernism, and connects the decade to other transitional periods in US literature. Novels by four major contemporary writers are examined: Philip Roth, Paul Auster, E. L. Doctorow and Jeffrey Eugenides. Each novel has a similar structure: an observer-narrator tells the story of an important person in his life who has died. But each story is equally about the struggle to tell the story, to find adequate means to narrate the transitional quality of the hero's life. In playing out this narrative struggle, each novel thereby addresses the broader problem of historical transition, a problem that marks the legacy of the postmodern era in American literature and culture.

Описание:
This collection of new essays seeks to define the unique qualities of female heroism in literary fantasy from Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings in the 1950s through the present. Building upon traditional definitions of the hero in myth and folklore as the root genres of modern fantasy, the essays provide a multi-faceted view of an important fantasy character type who begins to demonstrate a significant presence only in the latter 20th century. The essays contribute to the empowerment and development of the female hero as an archetype in her own right.
