Espai i memòria: Barcelona en la novel·la catalana contemporània (Rodoreda-Bonet-Moix-Riera-Barbal)
En els darrers cent anys Barcelona ha estat l’escenari de l’acció d‘una abundant narrativa escrita en català i en d’altres llengües europees. D’entre aquest ric repertori de relats. Barbara Luczak ha seleccionat un conjunt de novel·les contemporànies en llengua catalana en què l’espai, així com la imatge que n’és fruit a través de l’elaboració artística, resulta particularment rellevant per entendre el passat i el present de la metròpoli catalana. En aquest sentit, les lectures que s’hi ofereixen permeten descobrir i caracteritzar algunes formes i funcions de la representació de l’espai barceloní en la narrativa escrita als segles XX i XXI per Mercè Rodored...

Silent Film and the Formations of U.S. Literary Culture
Silent Film and the Formations of U.S. Literary Culture: Literature in Motion argues that the emergence of motion pictures constituted a defining moment in U.S. literary history. Author Sarah Gleeson-White discovers what happened to literary culture-both popular and higher-brow—when inserted into the spectacular world of motion pictures during the early decades of the twentieth century. How did literary culture respond to, and how was it altered by, the development of motion pictures, literature's exemplar and rival in narrative realism and enthrallment? Gleeson-White draws on extensive archival film and literary materials, and unearths a range of collaborative, cross-media expressive and industrial practices to reveal the manifold ways in which early-twentieth-century literary culture sought both to harness and temper the reach of motion pictures.
Mercè Rodoreda
This annotated bibliography of one of the best-known Catalan authors selects and comments on 198 critical narrative works, including nine biographical studies. It provides a detailed analysis of the critical perspectives which have been used to analyze Rodoreda's works, referring the reader to the bibliographical entries which best illustrate certain theoretical approaches or themes.
Theory of Racelessness
This book presents a skeptical eliminativist philosophy of race and the theory of racelessness, a methodological and pedagogical framework for analyzing "race" and racism. It explores the history of skeptical eliminativism and constructionist eliminativism within the history of African American philosophy and literary studies and its consistent connection with movements for civil rights. Sheena M. Mason considers how current anti-racist efforts reflect naturalist conservationist and constructionist reconstructionist philosophies of race that prevent more people from fully confronting the problem of racism, not race, thereby enabling racism to persist. She then offers a three-part solution for how scholars and people aspiring toward anti-racism can avoid unintentionally upholding racism, using literary studies as a case study to show how "race" often translates into racism itself. The theory of racelessness helps more people undo racism by undoing the belief in "race."
Re-Thinking Agency
The book explores the multi-faceted nature of contemporary reflections on agency, focusing on various discursive practices that shape the posthumanist approach to the relationship between the human and non-human world from a planetary perspective. The chapters delve into critical human-animal studies, examine new non-anthropocentric identity constructs, and offer analyses that reinterpret meanings through semiotic inversions and challenge static cultural patterns. The book concludes with discussions on decolonization practices that aim to liberate agency from oppressive systems, particularly those dominated by imperial phallogocentrism.
