Characters and Plots in the Fiction of Kate Chopin
A feminist before such a term was created and most famous for The Awakening, the controversial Kate Chopin was also the author of a second novel, At Fault, as well as numerous short stories. This reference book begins with a brief introduction to Kate Chopin's varied background and her fictional work. A chronology traces the main events of her private and professional lives. Hundreds of alphabetically arranged entries follow, summarizing the plots of her novels and short stories, identifying her fictional characters, and relating them to her own experiences, to her family members and to her friends. Many entries include bibliographical citations.
The Awakening and Other Writings
Critically acclaimed as Kate Chopin’s most influential work of fiction, The Awakening has assumed a place in the American literary canon. This new edition places the novel in the context of the cultural and regional influences that shape Chopin’s narrative. With extensive contemporary readings that examine historical events, including the hurricanes that frequently disrupt life in Louisiana, this edition will contextualize The Awakening for a new generation of readers.

Women and Autonomy in Kate Chopin's Short Fiction
Women and Autonomy in Kate Chopin's Short Fiction offers close readings of some thirty stories - Chopin's most significant short works - the majority of which have never received analytical scrutiny. These works, predominantly grim, portray the difficulties women confront as they seek autonomy in a social framework that typically constrains them whether they are married, in the midst of courtship, or seeking to live independently. This groundbreaking book makes it apparent that Chopin's short fiction is no less significant than her famous novel, The Awakening, and that her stories also provide a valuable context for that work.
Claire Pentecost
Claire Pentecosts »Notizen aus dem Untergrund« geben sonderbares und transdisziplinäres Wissen über den pflanzlichen Boden, seine Vorlieben und Bewohner preis. Wir lernen Vergessenes und Neues über die Herstellung von Kompost, die Wiederbelebung toten Bodens, bakterielle Moleküle, die kollektiv Signale produzieren, oder über die radikale Nähe zweier Organismen durch das Leben eines unverdauten Organismus im Inneren eines anderen. In ihrer untergründigen Kritik, die sie mit Zeichnungen »innerer Welten« illustriert, denkt die Künstlerin und Aktivistin Pentecost über die Bedrohung der gemeinschaftlichen Identität und der Träume menschlicher Subjekte im Kapitalismus nach. Dieses »Umgraben«, Analysieren und Mischen agrikultureller, ökologischer und molekularer Mikro-Prozesse vor dem Hintergrund aktueller sozio-politischer Entwicklungen lässt neue Ideen zur konfliktreichen Wechselbeziehung von »Natur« und Ökonomie keimen. Claire Pentecost (*1956) ist Künstlerin und Autorin; sie lebt in Chicago. Sprache: Deutsch/Englisch
The Cambridge Companion to Kate Chopin
Although she enjoyed only modest success during her lifetime, Kate Chopin is now recognised as a unique voice in American literature. Her seminal novel, The Awakening, published in 1899, explored new and startling territory, and stunned readers with its frank depiction of the limits of marriage and motherhood. Chopin's aesthetic tastes and cultural influences were drawn from both the European and American traditions, and her manipulation of her 'foreignness' contributed to the composition of a complex voice that was strikingly different to that of her contemporaries. The essays in this Companion treat a wide range of Chopin's stories and novels, drawing her relationship with other writers, genres and literary developments, and pay close attention to the transatlantic dimension of her work. The result is a collection that brings a fresh perspective to Chopin's writing, one that will appeal to researchers and students of American, nineteenth-century, and feminist literature.
Kate Chopin and Catholicism
This book explores the Catholic aesthetic and mystical dimensions in Kate Chopin’s fiction within the context of an evolving American Catholicism in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Through a close reading of her novels and numerous short stories, Kate Chopin and Catholicism looks at the ways Chopin represented Catholicism in her work as a literary device that served on multiple levels: as an aesthetic within local color depictions of Louisiana, as a trope for illuminating the tensions surrounding nineteenth-century women’s struggles for autonomy, as a critique of the Catholic dogma that subordinated authenticity and physical and emotional pleasure, and as it pointed to the distinction between religious doctrine and mystical experience, and enabled the articulation of spirituality beyond the context of the Church. This book reveals Chopin to be not only a literary visionary but a writer who saw divinity in the natural world.

Computational Models of Argument
The investigation of computational models of argument is a rich and fascinating interdisciplinary research field with two ultimate aims: the theoretical goal of understanding argumentation as a cognitive phenomenon by modeling it in computer programs, and the practical goal of supporting the development of computer-based systems able to engage in argumentation-related activities with human users or among themselves. The biennial International Conferences on Computational Models of Argument (COMMA) provide a dedicated forum for the presentation and discussion of the latest advancements in the field, and cover both basic research and innovative applications. This book presents the proceedings ...
