Confronting Universalities
The universe is expanding, the world has gone global, and the US has launched a crusade to export the universal right to democracy to every part of the world. Under the circumstances, it is hardly surprising that the concept of universality is making a remarkable comeback in aesthetic and political theory. The meaning of the world, however, seems more contested than ever. Some denounce it as the ideological guise of particular interests, others as the conceptual equivalent of totalitarianism. But a growing number maintain that universality is an indispensable notion for any genuinely critical aesthetics and politics. Confronting Universalites consists of 12 contributors that examine how cont...
Exploring Text and Emotions
Exploring Text and Emotions investigates the functions, values and effects of emotions in literature and the arts, fostering the affective turn in textual theory and analysis. Fifteen essays on various art works analyse how modern fiction, drama, theatre, poetry and film, as well as Greek tragedy, succeed in both expressing and suggesting a vast and nuanced array of emotions while provoking affective responses in readers and spectators. The volume focuses on the exemplary way in which literature and the arts act upon our minds and have a strong impact on our understanding of aesthetic, political and moral values, challenging, shaping and transforming culture. The volume also intends to show how seminal writers and works have anticipated contemporary theories of emotions and can contribute to their growth. Linking formal, aesthetic and cultural-studies approaches, and combining the latest developments in the affective sciences with the close reading of texts, the volume puts forward a new direction for the study of literature, arts, media and culture.
World Literature, World Culture
In a global age where people, goods and cultural products transcend the boundaries of geography and temporality as never before, it is only natural that literary and cultural studies turn their attention to Goethe's nineteenth-century notion of a Weltliteratur. Offering their own Twenty-First Century perspectives - across generations, nationalities and disciplines - the contributors to this anthology explore the idea of world literatue for what it may add of new connections and itineraries to the study of literature and culture today. Covering a vast historical material from witness accounts of the fall of Constantinople to Hari Kunzru's contemporary representations of multicultural London, ...
Narratology in Practice
Narratology in Practice draws on various cultural domains to explain the ways in which theory illuminates the presence of narrative.
Mastering Emotions
Mastering Emotions examines the interactions between slaveholders and enslaved people, and between White people and free Black people, to expose how emotions such as love, terror, happiness, and trust functioned as social and economic capital for slaveholders and enslaved people alike.
A Comparative Literary History of Modern Slavery - The Atlantic World and Beyond
Approaching slavery as an affective as well as an economic practice, contributions consider how, across a historical period stretching from the 16th century to the present and across regions, languages and genres ranging from poetry and the novel to travel literature and correspondence, the range of emotions that it generated are represented.
Verden pa fransk
I 2007 blev der i den franske avis Le Monde optrykt et lille, men betydningsfuldt manifest med titlen For en verdenslitteratur pa fransk. Bag manifestet stod 44 franskskrivende forfattere, en af dem nobelprisvinderen i litteratur J.M.G. Le Clezio. De onskede at gore op med opfattelsen af, at fransksproget litteratur kun kunne udga fra Paris.For Paris er nok hovedstad i Frankrig, men ikke centrum for hele den fransksprogede verden. Den frankofone verden strAekker sig takket vAere Frankrigs fortid som kolonimagt ud over hele kloden. Det er derfor, at haitanske Dany Laferriere skriver pa fransk om sit hjemland, og af samme grund, at Kateb Yacine og Yasmina Khadra bruger fransk til at fortAelle ...
Staging Slavery
This international analysis of theatrical case studies illustrates the ways that theater was an arena both of protest and, simultaneously, racist and imperialist exploitations of the colonized and enslaved body. By bringing together performances and discussions of theater culture from various colonial powers and orbits—ranging from Denmark and France to Great Britain and Brazil—this book explores the ways that slavery and hierarchical notions of "race" and "civilization" manifested around the world. At the same time, against the backdrop of colonial violence, the theater was a space that also facilitated reformist protest and served as evidence of the agency of Black people in revolt. Staging Slavery considers the implications of both white-penned productions of race and slavery performed by white actors in blackface makeup and Black counter-theater performances and productions that resisted racist structures, on and off the stage. With unique geographical perspectives, this volume is a useful resource for undergraduates, graduates, and researchers in the history of theater, nationalism and imperialism, race and slavery, and literature.
Nye franske verdener
IndholdsfortegnelseSeriens redaktorPressen skrevOm bogenFransk litteratur ligner ikke sig selv. Konfronteret med globaliseringens forandringer har fransk kultur og litteratur de seneste 30 ar vAeret i en dyb krise, der har tvunget politikere, intellektuelle og forfattere til at skrive en ny fransk litteratur. En, der kan trAede i stedet for den, der i arhundreder har defineret den franske republik.I Nye franske verdener viser Mads Anders Baggesgaard, adjunkt og verdenslitterat ved Aarhus Universitet, hvordan den franske litteratur i dag eksisterer og fornyer sig pa globale betingelser. I bogen folger han krisens spor pa tvAers af historiske forandringer, litterAere traditioner, det globale bogmarked og en splittet fransk kulturpolitik, mens han trAekker trade mellem litteraturen og det franske samfund, Jonathan Littells Les Bienveillantes og Sarkozy, Michel Houellebecqs Soumission og terrorangrebene i Paris. Aktuelle forfattere reflekterer globaliseringens udfordringer og forandringer i deres vAerker, men hvordan kan vi i dag, sporger forfatteren, overhovedet skrive litteraturhistorie?
