Описание: The book explores representations of modern technology in contemporary science fiction for young people. It exposes the anti-technological bias existing within a genre usually associated with celebrating technology, and suggests that this bias is a form of resistance to the changing face of childhood and technology`s contribution to this change.

Описание: It is by now almost a cliche that the flight and expulsion of Germans from east-central Europe at the end of the Second World War was a taboo topic in the German Democratic Republic. According to this claim, the Socialist Unity Party (SED) suppressed reference to flight and expulsion so as not to upset its socialist neighbors. This book shows that such a view does not hold up to serious scrutiny. While the topic may not have been addressed in the realm of politics or official commemoration, it was picked up again and again in literature, particularly fiction. Representations of flight and expulsion were by no means restricted, as some have asserted, to Christa Wolf's novel Kindheitsmuster: Niven's study documents around one hundred novels and short stories published in the GDR that address flight or expulsion. He argues that in the 1950s and early 1960s GDR fiction included many refugee figures. The predominant emphasis was on their integration under socialism rather than their experience of flight and loss of home; nevertheless, flight and to a lesser degree expulsion were depicted, as was their impact on individuals. They continued to be portrayed in the late GDR and in post-unification east Germany. Flight and expulsion were subject to a developing literary discourse in the GDR, a discourse that this book explores.

Описание: The book provides an original investigation of the double trope as a central area of Dicken`s writings in their relation to Victorian culture, using this examination of the double to shed light on such issues as urban space and imperialism in the Victorian era.
Concurrent with increasing scholarly attention toward national children's literatures, Contemporary English-language Indian Children's Literature explores an emerging body of work that has thus far garnered little serious critical attention. Superle critically examines the ways Indian children's writers have represented childhood in relation to the Indian nation, Indian cultural identity, and Indian girlhood. From a framework of postcolonial and feminist theories, children's novels published between 1988 and 2008 in India are compared with those from the United Kingdom and North America from the same period, considering the differing ideologies and the current textual constructions of childhood at play in each.
Broadly, Superle contends that over the past twenty years an aspirational view of childhood has developed in this literature-a view that positions children as powerful participants in the project of enabling positive social transformation. Her main argument, formed after recognizing several overarching thematic and structural patterns in more than one hundred texts, is that the novels comprise an aspirational literature with a transformative agenda: they imagine apparently empowered child characters who perform in diverse ways in the process of successfully creating and shaping the ideal Indian nation, their own well-adjusted bicultural identities in the diaspora, and/or their own empowered girlhoods.

Описание: Looking across the cultural landscape of the twenty-first century, its literature, film, television, comic books, and other media, we can see multiple examples of what Shelley S. Rees calls a “changeling western,” what others have called “weird westerns,” and what Michael K. Johnson refers to as “speculative westerns”—that is, hybrid western forms created by merging the western with one or more speculative genres or subgenres, including science fiction, fantasy, horror, and alternate history.
Speculative Wests investigates both speculative westerns and other speculative texts that feature western settings. Just as “western” refers both to a genre and a region, Johnson’s narrative involves a study of both genre and place, a study of the “speculative Wests” that have begun to emerge in contemporary texts such as the zombie-threatened California of Justina Ireland’s Deathless Divide (2020), the reimagined future Navajo nation of Rebecca Roanhorse’s Sixth World series (2018–19), and the complex temporal and geographic borderlands of Alfredo Véa’s time travel novel The Mexican Flyboy (2016). Focusing on literature, film, and television from 2016 to 2020, Speculative Wests creates new visions of the American West.

Описание:
En France comme en Grande-Bretagne, la fin du XIXe si?cle semble hant?e par les formes destructrices ou malveillantes de la f?minit?, que la figure de Salom? incarne d’une mani?re omnipr?sente et contradictoire. La danseuse fatale ne peut pourtant se comprendre que comme l’image invers?e d’une f?minit? bienveillante et ?difiante qui favorise, par son aptitude au sacrifice, le passage d’une ?re ? l’autre.
L’auteur montre comment, sous la plume de Jean Lorrain, de Marie Corelli, de Henry Rider-Haggard ou de Ren?e Vivien, des silhouettes mythologiques, bibliques, typiques ou historiques invitent ? nuancer l’omnipr?sence de la femme fatale dans le second dix-neuvi?me si?cle et ? interroger la notion m?me de fatalit?. Alors que le XIXe si?cle touche ? sa fin, les repr?sentations de la f?minit? bienveillante sont convoqu?es pour donner corps ? des d?sirs sym?triques, parfois inqui?tants de similitude, ? ceux incarn?s par la hantise salom?enne.
Dans cet ouvrage, la Vierge Marie, ?ve, Lilith, l’androgyne, la religieuse, Jeanne d’Arc, Marie-Madeleine, Sapho ou encore Hypatie sont ?tudi?es de mani?re ? d?senclaver la D?cadence de ses orni?res th?matiques. Au miroir de la f?minit? bienveillante, la fin de si?cle des h?ritiers de Baudelaire et du Cardinal Newman est ici ?tudi?e comme une p?riode de transition o? s’exerce une tension entre fascination pour la chute et r?ve de construction.
