War and Literature: Looking Back on 20th Century Armed Conflicts
This comprehensive volume analyzes the radical change in the nature of armed conflicts and in the way they are narrated and represented. Ever since the First World War has changed war itself, rendering meaningless the very vocabulary of war in terms such as "battle", "front", "non-combatant", "open city" and "hero", new words, new approaches, new theories and new texts had to be invented. The enemy became invisible: Submarines, tanks, mines, gas, long-range artillery, and airplanes made this war different from all the other that came before. A hundred years after the beginning of this terrible war, it is now time to recall different representations of the armed conflicts of the 20th century. The articles in this collection analyze representations of the Canudos Civil War in Brazil, the First World War, the Second World War, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the colonial wars in Africa, and the war in Afghanistan, aiming to understand how war and the telling of war have changed during the most murderous hundred years in the history of mankind.
Revisiting 20th Century Wars
The collection at hand is a subjective, but representative selection of articles in German and English on the representation of bellicose acts in modern times. The wide range of wars treated in these essays begins with the Canudos Civil War in the Brazilian state of Bahia in 1896-97. The various articles include new perceptions and interpretations of the First World War, the Spanish Civil War of 1936-39, the Holocaust, the Second World War, the Korean War, the wars in the former Portuguese colonies of Africa, and the Balkan Wars of the last decade of the 20th century, and close with the current war in Afghanistan, which began in 2001. The wars discussed, although having different origins, su...
The Labyrinth of Love
This book studies the various narrative shades of love in twentieth-century Latin American fiction. It examines writings by Isabel Allende, Roberto Arlt, García Márquez, and Mario Vargas Llosa. The author provides a close textual reading of each novel and discusses how humans make sense of their lives through love. He shifts the focus of these writings from political violence and historical disillusionment to the illusion of love. An important contribution to Latin American literary criticism, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of literature, history, Latin American literature, philosophy, ethics, aesthetics, comparative literature, and sociology.
Von Madrid in den Himmel
Fachbuch aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich Romanistik - Hispanistik, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: In der vorliegenden Arbeit soll am Beispiel Madrids die Bedeutung des Problems Großstadt in der modernen spanischen Literatur untersucht werden. Der Schwerpunkt der Arbeit liegt auf der Analyse von Romanen, die in der Zeit nach dem Bürgerkrieg entstanden sind, und deren Handlung vorwiegend im Madrid dieser Zeit spielt. Ausgewählt wurden bekanntere zeitgenössische Autoren, die lange Jahre in der spanischen Hauptstadt verbracht haben oder dort noch leben und somit als profunde Kenner der Stadt gelten können. Werke ausländischer Schriftsteller oder von Spaniern im Exil wurden nicht berücksicht...
Von Alterität, Anthropophagie und Missionierung. Der Einfluss der Jesuiten auf die kulturelle Identität Brasiliens in der Kolonialzeit (1549-1711)
Die Frage nach der eigenen Identität besitzt in Brasilien eine besondere Brisanz und wird seit dem 19. Jahrhundert sehr kontrovers diskutiert, ohne dass bislang ein allgemeiner Konsens darüber erreicht worden wäre. Die Brasilianer definieren sich selbst oftmals über eine auf der unterschiedlichen ethnischen Herkunft beruhende Alterität. Von außen dagegen wird die Bevölkerung Brasiliens tendenziell so gesehen, dass sich ihre Gemeinsamkeiten in der portugiesischen Sprache, der Begeisterung für Karneval, Samba und Fußball sowie dem Besitz immenser natürlicher Ressourcen erschöpfen. Wenig Beachtung auf der Suche nach den Wurzeln Brasiliens wurde bisher der Literatur in der Kolonialzeit und hier vor allem dem Beitrag der Jesuitenmissionare bei der Entstehung einer kulturellen Identität gewidmet. Volker Jaeckel analysiert in seiner Studie ein Kapitel der brasilianischen Kulturgeschichte unter dieser Perspektive, wobei er auch wertvolle Anregungen zu einer weitergehenden Beschäftigung mit der Thematik gibt.
Jordaens
16 essays by a group of internationally acclaimed authors help contribute to a clearer perception of the complex facets of Jacob Jordaens' oeuvre -- and moreover to distinguish it from the works of Rubens, van Dyck, and his contemporaries. The title "Genius of Grand Scale" refers to the spectrum from history to genre as well as to Jordaens' preference for large formats. The greatness of the artist Jacob Jordaens needs to be emphasized, since even though he outlived Rubens for four whole decades, he was never able to escape from under his shadow. By reference to iconographic and iconological studies, single works are identified and presented in a broad review and the long, in many aspects fragmentary reception of his artistic work also forms a large part of the interpretations presented here. Furthermore, technical examinations of paintings assist in defining more precisely how they were generated.This overdue volume presents essential reading for anyone interested in Jacob Jordaens.
"There It Is": Narratives of the Vietnam War
This book provides a critical survey of the literature on the Vietnam War and is intended both for academic and general readers. Earlier works of this kind constantly recycled criticism of a half-dozen of the same works. In this study, the aim was to discuss a much greater number of works, including a few that have never been discussed. To appeal to non-academic readers, Lit-Crit jargon was kept to a minimum, and parallels with earlier works of war literature, especially those of the two world wars, were established.
Global South Modernities
Global South Modernities: Modernist Literature and the Avant-Garde in Latin America examines the seminal influence that Latin American writers had on the style, subject matter, and ideology of literature in the Global South from 1900 to the late 1930s. Gorica Majstorovic challenges the historical and racial logic of interwar Latin American literary studies by introducing the solidarity relations between the global decolonial movements and placing anti-imperialism, Blackness, and indigeneity at the center of decolonial analysis. Following Mignolo, de Sousa Santos, and Cheah, the texts under analysis subvert the processes of European colonial worlding and show modernity itself as pluralized. D...
