Living with Religious Diversity in Early-Modern Europe
Current scholarship continues to emphasise both the importance and the sheer diversity of religious beliefs within early modern societies. Furthermore, it continues to show that, despite the wishes of secular and religious leaders, confessional uniformity was in many cases impossible to enforce. As the essays in this collection make clear, many people in Reformation Europe were forced to confront the reality of divided religious loyalties, and this raised issues such as the means of accommodating religious minorities who refused to conform and the methods of living in communion with those of different faiths. Drawing together a number of case studies from diverse parts of Europe, Living with...
Literature and Geography
In a period marked by the Spatial Turn, time is not the main category of analysis any longer. Space is. It is now considered as a central metaphor and topos in literature, and literary criticism has seized space as a new tool. Similarly, literature turns out to be an ideal field for geography. This book examines the cross-fertilization of geography and literature as disciplines, languages and methodologies. In the past two decades, several methods of analysis focusing on the relationship and interconnectedness between literature and geography have flourished. Literary cartography, literary geography and geocriticism (Westphal, 2007, and Tally, 2011) have their specificities, but they all agr...
Desired States
Desired States challenges the notion that in some cultures, sex and sexuality have become privatized and located in individual subjectivity rather than in public political practices and institutions. Instead, the book contends that desire is a central aspect of political culture. Based on fieldwork and archival research, Frazier explores the gendered and sexualized dynamics of political culture in Chile, an imperialist context, asking how people connect with and become mobilized in political projects in some cases or, in others, become disaffected or are excluded to varying degrees. The book situates the state in a rich and changing context of transnational and localized movements, imperialist interests, geo-political conflicts, and market forces to explore the broader struggles of desiring subjects, especially in those dimensions of life that are explicitly sexual and amorous: free love movements, marriage, the sixties’ sexual revolution in Cold War contexts, prostitution policies, ideas about men’s gratification, the charisma of leaders, and sexual/domestic violence against women.
Cixous after / depuis 2000
The essays in Cixous after/depuis 2000, edited by Hall, Chevillot, Hoft-March, and Peñalver Vicea, center on the events from 2000 to 2015 that mark Hélène Cixous’s life and writing: the donation of her archives to the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, her return to Algeria, the death of her friend Jacques Derrida, the 40th anniversary of her essay “Le Rire de la Méduse,” and finally, of greatest import in her work of the 21st-century, the last years and death of her mother Eve. The essays explore an important movement in Hélène Cixous’s oeuvre as it shifts its focus not away from questions of the body, language, difference, and sexuality, but to include a broader engagement wi...
La literatura comparada, una disciplina hospitalaria
Este libro se propone ser tanto una reflexión sobre la literatura comparada tanto como un instrumento teórico y práctico para su estudio. Después de explicar por qué la literatura comparada es una disciplina hospitalaria, abierta y muy actual, que proporciona siempre un encuentro atento y complejo con diferentes formas de la alteridad, el libro abarca cinco capítulos. El primero, teórico, analiza las definiciones, problemas fundamentales, orígenes, evolución y tendencias actuales de la disciplina. Los demás constan de una parte teórica y otra práctica de comentarios comparados. El segundo capítulo está dedicado a temas, mitos, motivos. El tercero se centra en la relación entre...
Quaderni del Dottorato in scienze documentarie, linguistiche e letterarie. 2. Prismi
Lo scopo di questi Quaderni è in primo luogo quello di documentare e condividere l'esperienza didattica e scientifica del Dottorato di ricerca in Scienze documentarie, linguistiche e letterarie che ha sede presso l'Università La Sapienza di Roma. La prima sezione è dedicata ad aprire qualche "finestra" sull'attività didattica svolta nel Dottorato, in parte condivisa e in parte rivolta specificamente a singoli curricula, e sempre attenta sia alla dimensione della discussione, del dibattito, sia al respiro internazionale. Nella seconda sezione trova spazio invece una selezione di contributi, di dottorandi in corso e dottori che hanno conseguito il titolo negli ultimi due o tre anni, che illustrino nel loro complesso l'ampio orizzonte tematico delle ricerche portate avanti nel Dottorato. Alcuni dottorandi, inoltre, hanno collaborato alla redazione del volume, arricchendo anche in questo modo la loro esperienza. Inoltre si è ritenuto opportuno includere, come terza sezione, un repertorio delle ricerche e delle relative tesi di Dottorato, che prosegue e integra quello già pubblicato nel primo volume di Prismi.
Visiones literarias y lingüísticas del paisaje urbano
La ciudad está en nosotros tanto como nosotros en ella. Las visiones que ofrece este volumen se construyen sobre la materia literaria y lingüística de esa realidad, con aspectos sustanciales de lo que se ha considerado conceptualmente su paisaje, de ahí el título general: Visiones literarias y lingüísticas del paisaje urbano. Su contenido consta de dos partes, relativas al imaginario, los espacios de ficción y los ámbitos lingüísticos y, posteriormente, a la poética, los géneros y la constructividad literaria. Si el espacio es un universal que transita nuestra cultura desde los vestigios homéricos y sus "Prados asfódelos", como se subraya desde el comienzo del libro, asimismo,...
