Crossing Borders in Victorian Travel
How did Victorian travellers define and challenge the notion of Empire? How did the multiple forms of Victorian travel literature, such as fiction, travel accounts, newspapers, and poetry, shape perceptions of imperial and national spaces, in the British context and beyond? This collection examines how, in the Victorian era, space and empire were shaped around the notion of boundaries, by travel narratives and practices, and from a variety of methodological and critical perspectives. From the travel writings of artists and polymaths such as Carmen Sylva and Richard Burton, to a reassessment of Rudyard Kipling’s, H. G. Wells’s and Julia Pardoe’s cross-cultural and cross-gender travels, this collection assesses a broad range of canonical and lesser-studied Victorian travel texts and genres, and evaluates the representation of empires, nations, and individual identity in travel accounts covering Europe, Asia, Africa and Britain.
The Racialization of the Occult in Nineteenth Century British Literature
This book focuses on the representation of the practitioner of the occult in mid to late nineteenth-century British literature. The occult was a source of emotional support and scientific curiosity during this time of change and uncertainty because it seemed to offer answers to both spiritual and scientific questions through measurable, albeit unconventional, means. However, the occult was also viewed as a threat to British society, an assault on it values, and a fundamental danger to emerging scientific enterprise. By examining the ways in which the occult and its practitioners are represented in British novels from 1850-1900, this book traces the ways that the novels commented on, participated in, and contributed to the racialization of the occult that occurred throughout the nineteenth century in Britain. The representations of the occult characters in these novels interpreted and transmitted the social, political, economic, and scientific discourses about race in the nineteenth century to the reading public, as well as participating in the discourse surrounding race and the occult.
The Experience of Idling in Victorian Travel Texts, 1850–1901
This book brings together theories of spatiality and mobility with a study of travel writing in the Victorian period to suggest that ‘idleness’ is an important but neglected condition of subjectivity in that era. Contrary to familiar stereotypes of ‘the Victorians’ as characterized by speed, work, and mechanized travel, this books asserts a counter-narrative in which certain writers embraced idleness in travel as a radical means to ‘re-subjectification’ and the assertion of a ‘late-Romantic’ sensibility. Attentive to the historical and literary continuities between ‘Romantic’ and ‘Victorian’, the book reconstructs the Victorian discourse on idleness. It draws on an interdisciplinary range of theorists and brings together a fresh selection of accounts viewed through the lens of cultural studies as well as accounts of publication history and author biography. Travel texts from different genres (by writers such as Anna Mary Howitt, Jerome K. Jerome and George Gissing) are brought together as representing the different facets of the spectrum of idleness in the Victorian context.
Symbolism 2019
Special Focus editor: Natasha Lushetich Series editors: Rüdiger Ahrens, Florian Kläger, Klaus Stierstorfer Symbolism is cohesive. It gathers heterogeneity over time, across fields of human endeavor and systems of communication. Non-sequiturs, paradox and tautology, appear dissipative. Yet they are highly productive in reticular and fractal ways. Suffice it to look at the philosophical tautology of Parmenides’s kind, which suggests that being "is"; at the practice of the koan, which collapses dualistic thinking by way of incompatible propositions, such as "the Eastern hill keeps running on the water"; at logical paradoxes in which the operative logic is sabotaged by its own means, as in H...
Modern British Symphonies
Britische Sinfonien um 1900 können einerseits als Teil einer nationalen, spezifisch britischen (musikalischen) Moderne verstanden werden. Sie reflektieren demnach Identifikationsdiskurse der Jahrhundertwende. Andererseits sind sie Gattungsbeiträge im Rahmen einer internationalen Gemeinschaft von Komponisten und Komponistinnen. Das Buch fächert die Bedingungen für das Verfassen von Sinfonien am Übergang zum 20. Jahrhundert in England auf. Es geht von einem erweiterten Begriff einer musikalischen Moderne im internationalen Forschungskontext um Decentering Modernity aus. Anhand einzelner Werke – beispielsweise von Edward Elgar, Hubert Parry, Arthur Somervell oder Ralph Vaughan Williams – wird gezeigt, wie sich unterschiedliche Facetten der Moderne in kompositorischen Entscheidungen manifestieren. Dazu gehören landschaftlich und zeitlich gebundene Verweise ebenso wie selbstreflexive Konstruktionen. Damit ergibt sich im Rahmen einer globalgeschichtlichen Perspektive einerseits eine Neubestimmung der Moderne. Andererseits entsteht ein neues Bild der Gattungsgeschichte der Sinfonie. Das Buch versteht sich auch als grundlegender Beitrag zur Methodik musikalischer Analyse.

When Democracy Breaks
This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence. It is free to read on the Oxford Academic platform and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. Democracy is often described in two opposite ways, as either wonderfully resilient or dangerously fragile. Both characterizations can be correct, depending on the context. When Democracy Breaks aims to deepen our understanding of what separates democratic resilience from democratic fragility by focusing on the latter. The volume's collaborators--experts in the history and politics of the societies covered in their chapters--explore eleven episodes of democratic brea...
Bir Hikayem Var - Anılar / Birinci Kitap
“Gabriel Garcia Marquez, biyografisini kaleme alan Gerald Martin’e şöyle demiş: ‘Her birimizin üç ayrı hayatı vardır; kamusal, özel ve gizli hayatlarımız...’ Özel ile kamusal hayat ayrımının ziyadesiyle bilincinde oldum çünkü hayatım bu ikisi arasındaki gerginlik üzerinde şekillendi. Şimdi okumaya başlayacağınız anılarım da bu gerginliğin mihverinde yaşadıklarımın öyküsünden ibaret. Gizli hayatımın özel hayatımın ayrılmaz bir parçası olduğunu düşünüyor ve onu da ne kadarı mümkünse anlatmayı umuyorum.” İstanbul Nişantaşı’nda Nilüfer Hatun İlkokulu’yla başlayıp, oradan İngiliz Erkek Lisesi orta kısmına ve Robert Lis...
