Daiana Gârdan face parte dintr-o generație de tineri cercetători care preschimbă fața studiilor literare autohtone, practicând cea mai avansată formă de comparatism contemporan, în siajul World Literature. Autoarea are deja un profil remarcabil în cultura noastră academică, lucrând în câteva prestigioase proiecte de echipă, cu excelente rezultate în țară și în străinătate. Cartea ei despre subgenurile romanului modern deschide o perspectivă transnațională asupra unor subiecte până recent considerate exclusiv de literatură națională și insistă asupra urgenței de a localiza observația teoretică. Felul în care deconstruiește interpretări canonice, dar și clișee hermeneutice despre roman și modernitate, va obliga comparatismul românesc să reconsidere modurile în care înțelege romanul astăzi.

This volume is a collection of articles written by more than 40 scholars who work in the field of Arabic dialectology. All articles are revised versions of papers presented at the 9th Conference of the Association Internationale de Dialectologie Arabe (AIDA) held in Pescara in March 2011.

Inspired by an unorthodox archive--ranging from epic traditions in Akkadian and Sanskrit to folk art, paintings by Veronese and Tiepolo, and the music of the Grateful Dead--Dimock constructs a long history of the world, a history she calls "deep time." The civilizations of Mesopotamia, India, Egypt, China, and West Africa, as well as Europe, leave their mark on American literature, which looks dramatically different when it is remove...
