Описание: Evil is a salient component of End? Sh?saku’s writing. Questions surrounding evil haunted the writer as a student of French literature, having discovered the works of Western authors like Fran?ois Mauriac and Georges Bernanos. It is around the problem of evil that End? would create his most renowned novels and the cross-cultural dimensions of the questions he posed on the nature of evil would make him one of the most widely translated Japanese authors.
This study offers new insight into the intellectual and artistic development of the author by focusing on a lesser known yet significant body of work: his essays and critical texts. The book is, on the one hand, an attempt to follow the path of thinking delineated by End? Sh?saku himself and, on the other, a methodological approach to literary studies based on the application of selected categories of Paul Ric?ur’s hermeneutics. Thus, the book accentuates the problem of subjectivity and personhood in End?’s works, ultimately exploring the question, Who is the one who asks about evil?

Описание:

This timely volume, inspired by the work of Umberto Eco, features applications of semiotic theories and methodological frameworks to a vast array of texts, genres and practices within contemporary semiosphere. Exploring the interplay of language, image and sound, contributors discuss the structural and functional properties of signs, along with motivations behind them and implications they have for the meaning-making process, identity, ideology, and the politics of representation.

The volume is an outcome of the SIVO «Signum-Idea-Verbum-Opus» project initiated by Umberto Eco’s keynote address during his visit at the University of ??d? in 2015. It is also a continuation of theoretical explorations which can be found in «Current Perspectives in Semiotics: Signs, Signification, and Communication», published simultaneously by Peter Lang.

Описание:

The book centres around the topic of subjectivity and self-representation in contemporary Japanese literature and offers a new approach to the genre of shish?setsu (the I-novel).

It reassesses the works of Dazai Osamu, ?e Kenzabur?, End? Sh?saku, Murakami Haruki, and of the translingual writers - Mizumura Minae, Hideo Levy, Tawada Y?ko - to expose the wide-ranging treatment of personal experiences, and the intricate relations between the characters, the narrator, and the writing persona.

In the context of world fiction and autobiography theories, the book investigates literary and linguistic challenges in expressing the “self.” The shish?setsu are explored as stories of constructing identities between cultures, languages, literary canons, and testimonies of untranslatability of the self.

Описание: This volume draws on issues and cases from more than 20 countries to provide empirical evidence and theoretical insights into why discourse matters. Covering a wide range of concepts and topical issues, contributors from media studies, journalism, and linguistics address the following key questions: Why and how does discourse matter pertaining to identity in a mediatized world? Who makes discourse and identity matter, for what reason, in what way, and with what consequences?
The volume provokes a new proposition that it is necessary to go beyond the safe havens of disciplinary strongholds with familiar terminology, methodology, and questions to address future inquiries into discourse and identity from a combination of linguistics and journalistic media studies.
