THE (IL)LOGICS OF POSTMODERN HUMOR
Plantea el acercamiento teórico de las prácticas literarias humorística y postmoderna buscando una explicación al hecho recurrente de la aparición de ejemplos humorísticos en la literatura norteamericana postmoderna. La aproximación teórica se complementa con el análisis de textos literarios concretos, donde la interpretación crítica cobra nuevas dimensiones cuando se lleva a cabo desde el prisma del humor.
THE VOICE AND THE VOID
The Voice and the Void es una monografía sobre la justificación o legitimización de la referencialidad del lenguaje. Se parte de la supuesta falta de legitimidad de la representación lingüística mediante una reflexión sobre casos extremos de irrepresentabilidad--tales como los discursos humorístico, religioso, científico y filosófico--a lo largo de la historia para llegar a la crítica postmoderna y discutir dicha falta de legitimidad aplicando una lógica basada en la doble negación implícita a la legitimación de la referencialidad lingüística.
Edgar Allan Poe across Disciplines, Genres and Languages
This collection of essays, which rediscovers Edgar Allan Poe’s not forgotten lore, comprises a two-headed scholarly body, drawing from communication and linguistics and literature, although it also includes many other academic offshoots which explore Poe’s labyrinthine and variegated imagination. The papers are classified according to two main domains, namely: (I) Edgar Allan Poe in Language, Literature and Translation Studies, and (II) Edgar Allan Poe in Communication and the Arts. In short, this book combines rigour and modernity and pays homage, with a fresh outlook, to Poe’s extra-ordinary originality and brilliant weirdness which prompted renowned authors like James Russell Lowell and Howard P.

Poe’s weird tales are alive in a manner that few others can ever hope to be.”

The Lovecraftian Poe
H.P. Lovecraft, one of the twentieth century’s most important writers in the genre of horror fiction, famously referred to Edgar Allan Poe as both his “model” and his “God of Fiction.” While scholars and readers of Poe’s and Lovecraft’s work have long recognized the connection between these authors, this collection of essays is the first in-depth study to explore the complex literary relationship between Lovecraft and Poe from a variety of critical perspectives. Of the thirteen essays included in this book, some consider how Poe’s work influenced Lovecraft in important ways. Other essays explore how Lovecraft’s fictional, critical, and poetic reception of Poe irrevocably ch...
Proceedings of the Arctic Biodiversity Workshop
"The Arctic Biodiversity Workshop had two distinct programs. The first was to determine interest and need for a biodiversity study in the Arctic, while the second discussed the joining of the longitudinal and latitudinal NaGISA transects with a transect that would cross the North Pacific/Bering Sea at the Aleutian Islands."--P. 1.
