Monstrous manifestations: Realities and the Imaginings of the Monster
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2013. Monstrous manifestations: Realities and Imaginings of the Monster presents an enlightening collection of inter-disciplinary research on the multifarious incarnations of the monster. Exploring the fears, hopes and concerns of contemporary and bygone times alike through the literary, cinematic, artistic, cultural and political metaphor of the monstrous, this volume will be of interest to both the expert and the amateur monster aficionado. Encompassing a variety of theoretical frameworks, Monstrous manifestations illuminates the monsters lurking in studies of gender, media and literature, as well as of religions and popular culture. Consorting with witches, vampires, shape-shifters, clones and hybrids, and acquainting with killers, deformed creatures and beings undefined, the authors daringly stalk the monsters coming out of their traditional lairs and colonising the new and constantly expanding social, cultural, psychological and political spaces, inviting the reader to journey with them as they venture into the monster’s terrain.
Global Matters
As the pace of cultural globalization accelerates, the discipline of literary studies is undergoing dramatic transformation. Scholars and critics focus increasingly on theorizing difference and complicating the geographical framework defining their approaches. At the same time, Anglophone literature is being created by a remarkably transnational, multicultural group of writers exploring many of the same concerns, including the intersecting effects of colonialism, decolonization, migration, and globalization. Paul Jay surveys these developments, highlighting key debates within literary and cultural studies about the impact of globalization over the past two decades. Global Matters provides a ...
Blood in the Moonlight
Director and screenwriter Michael Mann is the creative force behind such movies as Last of the Mohicans and Ali. Markedly reticent, Mann prefers that his personal background remain an enigma, but his disparate films contain clear and consistent messages. One of Mann's focuses is on the Information Age. He addresses the nature of modern communication, its use to manipulate and coerce, and the resultant subjugation of truth. The perils inherent in modern technology and communication stand in stark contrast to the power of symbolic and oral exchange, the trusted medium of Mann's protagonists. This critical exploration of the films of Michael Mann examines his recurring focus on the nature of mo...
Monstrosity from the Inside Out
Emerging from darkness, daring to take form and become something more than the Other, monsters stalk these pages, shifting form in true monstrous fashion as they inhabit literature and film, history and parallel communities modelled after our own. They become enmeshed in popular music, run rampant through cities, take androgynous form to rally for their own identities, their own futures, and their own families, and they hold up mirrors while we are caught shattering our sense of Self. Both the past and the future are rich fodder for the evil that monsters do, and from freak show to homunculus to serial killer to cyborg, they remind us that they are never far from sight - and that we cannot look away even if we wish to. Monstrosity from the Inside Out takes as the paradox that monsters are simultaneously impossible and very much a part of what it means to be human.
The Flouting of Point of View in Faulkner and Durrell
El libro presenta una re-evaluación del término 'punto de vista' en la novela que incluye un resumen de la evolución de la figura del narrador desde Lubbock hasta recientes estudios de narratología y pragmática literaria. En la parte práctica se rastrean los narrators, focalizers y reflectors en Absalom, Absalom! de William Faulkner y The Alexandria Quartet de Lawrence Durrell para demostrar cómo los autores construyen sus argumentos mediante una constante agresión a la máxima de relevancia, o mediante flouting of point of view.
Postcolonial Travel Writing
With its inclusion of original essays challenging the view of travel writing as a Eurocentric genre, this book will stand as a benchmark study of future inquiries in the field. It will revitalize the critical debate, sparking a much needed rethinking of a vibrant and highly popular but also volatile genre that has seen many changes in recent years.
