Nomadic Ethics in Contemporary Women's Writing in German
Explores nationality, gender, and postmodern subjectivity in the work of five German-speaking women writers who embody a "nomadic ethics." How can postmodern subjectivity be ethically conceived? What can literature contribute to this project? What role do "gender" and "nation" play in the construction of contemporary identities? Nomadic Ethics broaches these questions, exploring the work of five women writers who live outside of the German-speaking countries or thematize a move away from them: Birgit Vanderbeke, Dorothea Grünzweig, Antje Rávic Strubel, Anna Mitgutsch, and Barbara Honigmann. It draws on work by Rosi Braidotti, Sara Ahmed, and Judith Butler to develop a nomadic ethics, and e...

Opening Boundaries: Toward Finnish Heterolinational Literatures
Opening Boundaries: Toward Finnish Heterolinational Literatures is a part of our project, entitled "Toward a More Inclusive and Comprehensive Finnish Literature," conducted at the Finnish Literature Society (SKS) and the University of Tampere during 2018-2019. This cross-cultural collection of texts demonstrates the emergence and growth of new heterogeneous, multicultural and multilingual literatures within the Finnish literary canon. The anthology includes some literary outputs by twenty-four immigrant authors, living in Finland from sixteen different nationalities, and their works in ten different languages make this collection multilingual. However, for the sake of readability, the translation of some of their works in Finnish or English has been offered.

Die Auflösung
Der Verlust der Sprache im fremden Sprachraum und das Wiedergewinnen, auch Neuentdecken der eigenen Sprache im Fremden war schon früher das Thema ihrer Lyrik. Mit dem neuen Gedichtband bewegt sich Dorothea Grünzweig nun aber nicht nur formal im Neuland - auch ihre Themen sind drängender und eindringlicher geworden. Ihre Gedichte geben der existentiellen Erfahrung einer Generation, die man die mittlere Generation nennen könnte, den vielleicht gültigsten Ausdruck. Es ist die Erfahrung des Verlusts von Kindheit und Kindheitssprache, Krankheit und Tod der Eltern, der Verlust von Menschen, Tieren, Natur und Dingen. Es ist die Auflösung, die eine Ablösung ist.
Encyclopedia of World Writers, 1800 to the Present
In recent years, schools have started introducing more inclusive syllabi emphasizing the works and ideas of previously overlooked or underrepresented writers. Readers of all ages can now explore the rich contributions of writers from around the world. These writers have various backgrounds, and unlike most writers from the U.S. or the United Kingdom, information on them in English can be difficult to find. Encyclopedia of World Writers: 1800 to the Present covers the most important writers outside of the U.S., Britain, and Ireland since 1800. More than 330 insightful, A-to-Z entries profile novelists, poets, dramatists, and short-story writers whose works are anthologized in textbooks or ass...
The Essential Derk Wynand
Derk Wynand began to publish a cohesive body of work in the 1970s. Though his poems touch on aspects of daily life both public and private, Wynand is essentially a love poet dedicated to exploring all aspects of his theme: from initial attraction and sustained eroticism, the anxieties and constancies of gradually negotiated connection, the satisfying longueurs of fidelity, to the pleasures of the seemingly timeless domestic moment. A poet of sentiment rather than of sentimentality, he tests the mettle of his vocation in his nimble, unruffled handling of point of view and the poetic line. Whether Wynand sets his poetry in the snows of European folklore, the sunny climes of Portugal and Mexico or the rains of British Columbia, he adroitly maps the inscape of the human heart. The Essential Poets Series presents the works of Canada’s most celebrated poets in a package that is beautiful, accessible and affordable. The Essential Derk Wynand is the twenty-first volume in the increasingly popular series.
