Genetic Criticism in Motion
Genetic criticism investigates creative processes by analysing manuscripts and other archival sources. It sheds light on authors’ working practices and the ways works are developed on the writer’s desk or in the artist’s studio. This book provides a cross-section of current international trends in genetic criticism, half a century after the birth of the discipline in Paris. The last two decades have witnessed an expansion of the field of study with new kinds of research objects and new forms of archival material, along with various kinds of interdisciplinary intersections and new theoretical perspectives. The essays in this volume represent various European literary and scholarly traditions discussing creative processes from Polish poetry to French children’s literature, as well as topical issues such as born-digital literature and the application of forensic methodology to manuscript studies. The book is intended for scholars and students of literary criticism and textual scholarship, together with anyone interested in the working practices of writers, illustrators, and editors.
Genetic Criticism
This book introduces genetic criticism as a reading strategy which investigates the origins and development of texts over time. Using case studies including Samuel Beckett and Ian McEwan, Van Hulle discusses the concrete and more abstract dimensions of this approach.
Nine Moons
From the daring Peruvian essayist and provocateur behind Sexographies comes a fierce and funny exploration of sex, pregnancy, and motherhood that delves headlong into our fraught fascination with human reproduction. Women play all the time with the great power that’s been conferred upon us: it’s fun to think about reproducing. Or not reproducing. Or walking around in a sweet little dress with a round belly underneath that will turn into a baby to cuddle and spoil. When you’re fifteen, the idea is fascinating, it attracts you like a piece of chocolate cake. When you’re thirty, the possibility attracts you like an abyss. Gabriela Wiener is not one to shy away from unpleasant truths or ...
A Comparative History of the Literary Draft in Europe
Literary drafts are a constant in literatures of all ages and linguistic areas, and yet their role in writing processes in various traditions has seldom been the subject of systematic comparative scrutiny. In 38 chapters written by leading experts in many different fields, this book charts a comparative history of the literary draft in Europe and beyond. It is organised according to eight categories of comparison distributed over the volume’s two parts, devoted respectively to ‘Text’ (i.e. the textual aspects of creative processes) and ‘Beyond Text’ (i.e. aspects of creative processes that are not necessarily textual). Across geographical, temporal, linguistic, generic and media boundaries, to name but a few, this book uncovers idiosyncrasies and parallels in the surviving traces of human creativity while drawing the reader’s attention to the materiality of literary drafts and the ephemerality of the writing process they capture.
Digital Encounters
To understand the creative fabric of digital networks, scholars of literary and cultural studies must turn their attention to crowdsourced forms of production, discussion, and distribution. Digital Encounters explores the influence of an increasingly networked world on contemporary Latin American cultural production. Drawing on a spectrum of case studies, the contributors to this volume examine literature, art, and political activism as they dialogue with programming languages, social media platforms, online publishing, and geospatial metadata. Implicit within these connections are questions of power, privilege, and stratification. The book critically examines issues of inequitable access and data privacy, technology’s capacity to divide people from one another, and the digital space as a site of racialized and gendered violence. Through an expansive approach to the study of connectivity, Digital Encounters illustrates how new connections – between analog and digital, human and machine, print text and pixel – alter representations of self, Other, and world.
Digital Scholarly Editing
This book provides an up-to-date, coherent and comprehensive treatment of digital scholarly editing, organized according to the typical timeline and workflow of the preparation of an edition: from the choice of the object to edit, the editorial work, post-production and publication, the use of the published edition, to long-term issues and the ultimate significance of the published work. The author also examines from a theoretical and methodological point of view the issues and problems that emerge during these stages with the application of computational techniques and methods. Building on previous publications on the topic, the book discusses the most significant developments in digital textual scholarship, claiming that the alterations in traditional editorial practices necessitated by the use of computers impose radical changes in the way we think and manage texts, documents, editions and the public. It is of interest not only to scholarly editors, but to all involved in publishing and readership in a digital environment in the humanities.

Narrativas de la violencia en el ámbito hispánico. Guerra, sociedad y familia
En el auge del «humanismo», siguen surgiendo nuevas formas de violencia y nuevas formas de abordarlas en la literatura. No es solo el sexo de las violencias, las relaciones sexo-genéricas en plena encrucijada de cambios de sus construcciones culturales, las que añaden nuevas variables a este ya de por sí problemático campo. También lo son las nuevas modalidades de guerra, el terrorismo, las violencias sociales vinculadas al narcotráfico y un largo etcétera, dando lugar a nuevas denominaciones, como la acuñada por Cavarero: «horrorismo». Todas ellas añaden novedad a las disquisiciones terminológicas de antaño, exigiendo innovación en el abordaje, actualización de herramientas...
Filosofía y literatura
El exceso de voluntad de verdad que protagonizó buena parte de la historia de nuestro pensar convirtió la literatura y sus géneros en subordinados de lujo de una racionalidad huérfana, solitaria y deshumanizante. Esta crisis se refleja muy especialmente en la quiebra de las fronteras entre verdad y mentira, sujeto y objeto, realidad y ensoñación o esencia y apariencia. La pregunta acerca de lo que somos y de lo que es el mundo, propia del filosofar, exige, para obtener una respuesta satisfactoria, recuperar el diálogo entre nuestros dos grandes instintos que bien pueden comprenderse en las figuras del filósofo y del poeta. Nuestra convicción es recobrar este diálogo para mantener vivo un verdadero filosofar, es decir, una forma de hacer filosofía que asuma nuestro pathos trágico. Este libro quiere ser lugar de encuentro entre filósofos y estudiosos de la literatura, y pretende superar la rigidez de las disciplinas. Un pensar que reconoce la literatura y sus géneros como lugar privilegiado para la encarnación de las principales perplejidades y encrucijadas ontológicas.
