This book explores the nature of poetic reading using a creative approach to understanding Old Norse poetry. It considers lacunae in the history, criticism and scholarly translations of Old Norse poetry into English through a poetic enactment, an epic poem and its companion reader, demonstrating critical approaches to Old Norse poetry and poetics.
The poetic enactment analyses the complex relationship between historical gap and creative reader, the importance of the comprehension of literary objects as ideal or immutable, and the poetic construction of readable texts with particular reference to skaldic images. The poetic demonstration of scholarly approaches also raises a number of questions about poetic process and the role of composers, readers and historical contexts in Old Norse poetry. Analysing narrative-movement, diction, grammar, legend, the aural, the visual, authenticity, meaning and poetic objects as scripts, the author offers a theory of actual and virtual reading.
Описание: This provocative book addresses the ideological and political crisis of the Western left, and presents a radical critique of the current state of the Western left which puts discourse above class interest and politics of diversity above politics of social change.
Often, the story of encounters between Asia and the West has been told as one of success, of cross-fertilization, reciprocal stimulation and an exchange of commodities and knowledge. Yet, the history of East-West encounters is riddled with prominent examples of misunderstandings, ignorance, unrealistic expectations or unbridgeable cultural differences. Bringing together scholars working across Chinese Studies, Japanese Studies, English Studies and French Studies, this book presents new perspectives on such instances by theorizing epistemologies of failure. Providing examples from different periods and disciplines, it reveals how culturally informed expectations and biases, performative and linguistic practices and imaginative horizons specific to the cultures involved shape notions of failure and success. Case studies range from first encounters in the early modern period to contemporary novels and focus on actual or imaginary encounters between East Asia and Western European cultures.

Описание:
Die Schwerpunkte des 50. Bandes sind vielf?ltig und reichen von der Analyse einer Reihe literarischer Texte aus unterschiedlichen theoretischen Perspektiven ?ber die Bewertung des Sprachgebrauchs in verschiedenen soziopolitischen Kontexten bis hin zu Untersuchungen des DaF-Unterrichts und der DaF-Theorie in S?dafrika und anderswo. Literarische Werke von Uwe Timm, Joseph Roth, Dirk Fleck, Daniel Kehlmann, Sharon Dodua Otoo, Grete von Urbanitzky, Natascha Wodin und Mithu Sanyal werden aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven betrachtet. Die jeweiligen Beitr?ge ber?cksichtigen unter anderem, wie kulturelles und autobiografisches Ged?chtnis zum Ausdruck kommt. Postkoloniale Perspektiven und ?ko-Kritik bilden weitere Ans?tze, wie auch das Werk von Bruno Latour. Schlie?lich werden Genretypologien und auch die Herausforderungen der ?bersetzung analysiert. Der Sprachgebrauch in der Medienberichterstattung und in der Politik sowie eine vergleichende Untersuchung sprachlicher Weltanschauungen bilden die Beitr?ge zur Sprachwissenschaft.
The focus of the 50th volume is diverse, covering a spectrum from the analysis of a number of literary texts from a variety of theoretical perspectives, to the evaluation of language use in different socio-political contexts and examinations of DaF-teaching and theory both in South Africa and elsewhere. Literary works by Uwe Timm, Joseph Roth, Dirk Fleck, Daniel Kehlmann, Sharon Dodua Otoo, Grete von Urbanitzky, Natascha Wodin and Mithu Sanyal are examined from different perspectives. The respective contributions consider, among other things, how cultural and autobiographical memory is expressed. Postcolonial perspectives and ecocriticism represent further approaches, as does the work of Bruno Latour. Finally, genre typologies and the challenges of translation are analysed. Language use in media reporting and politics, as well as a comparative study of linguistic worldviews represent the contributions to language studies.

Описание:
In this book, first published in 1987, Professor Schleifer sets Greimas' work in its intellectual context and sets forth the development of his distinctive style of interpretation. Moreover, the author goes on to consider Greimas' work against the latest examinations of discourse in philosophy, depth psychology, and literary criticism. He tests Greimas' semiotic square against Derridean deconstruction, Lacanian psychoanalysis, and the literary analyses of Paul de Man.
This book will constitute an important and lucid survey of an often inaccessible critic, and will be of interest to students of literature.

Описание: What would happen if structures, forms, and other stand-alone entities thought to comprise our intellectual toolkit—words, meanings, signs—were jettisoned? How would a work written in a purportedly dead language, like The Iliad, or penned in a foreign tongue be approached if deemed legible without structures such as meaning-bearing signs or grammatical rules?
A New Philosophy of Discourse charts a novel course in response to these questions, coining an original concept of discourse, or talk!, that Joshua Kates presents as more fundamental than language. In Kates’ conception of discourse, writing and speech take shape entirely as events, situated within histories, contexts, and traditions themselves always in the making. Combining literary theory, literary criticism, and philosophy, to reveal a new perspective on discourse, Kates focuses on literary criticism, literary texts by Charles Bernstein and Stanley Elkin, and the philosophical writings of Stanley Cavell, Hans-Georg Gadamer, Donald Davidson and Martin Heidegger.
This ground-breaking study bridges the analytical/continental divide, by working through concrete problems using novel and extended interpretations with wide-ranging implications for the humanities.
