Existence, Historical Fabulation, Destiny

Existence, Historical Fabulation, Destiny by A-T. Tymieniecka
English | PDF (True) | 2009 | 443 Pages | ISBN : 1402098014 | 5.3 MB

Surging from the ontopoietic vital timing of life, human self-consciousness prompts the innermost desire to rise above its brute facts. Imaginatio creatrix inspires us to fabulate these facts into events and plots with personal significance attempting to delineate a life-course in life-stories within the ever-flowing stream – existence.

History and Speculative Fiction

History and Speculative Fiction by John L. Hennessey
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 (2024 Edition) | 295 Pages | ISBN : 3031422341 | 5.5 MB

This book demonstrates that despite different epistemological starting points, history and speculative fiction perform similar work in “making the strange familiar” and “making the familiar strange” by taking their readers on journeys through space and time. Excellent history, like excellent speculative fiction, should cause readers to reconsider crucial aspects of their society that they normally overlook or lead them to reflect on radically different forms of social organization. Drawing on Gunlög Fur’s postcolonial concept of concurrences, and with contributions that explore diverse examples of speculative fiction and historical encounters using a variety of disciplinary approaches, this volume provides new perspectives on colonialism, ecological destruction, the nature of humanity, and how to envision a better future.

Chronotropics: Caribbean Women Writing Spacetime

Chronotropics: Caribbean Women Writing Spacetime by Odile Ferly, Tegan Zimmerman
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 318 Pages | ISBN : 3031321103 | 7.5 MB

This book deconstructs androcentric approaches to spacetime inherited from western modernity through its theoretical frame of the chronotropics. It sheds light on the literary acts of archival disruption, radical remapping, and epistemic marronnage by twenty-first-century Caribbean women writers to restore a connection to spacetime, expanding it within and beyond the region. Arguing that the chronotropics points to a vocation for social justice and collective healing, this pan-Caribbean volume returns to autochthonous ontologies and epistemologies to propose a poetics and politics of the chronotropics that is anticolonial, gender inclusive, pluralistic, and non-anthropocentric.

Poetics, Ideology, Dissent: Beppe Fenoglio and Translation

Poetics, Ideology, Dissent: Beppe Fenoglio and Translation by Valentina Vetri
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 261 Pages | ISBN : 3031299078 | 5.5 MB

This book examines the translations carried out by Italian novelist Beppe Fenoglio, one of the most important Italian writers of the twentieth century. It stems from the acknowledgement that Beppe Fenoglio’s translations have not been examined in the political, cultural and ideological context in which they were produced, but have been dismissed as a purely linguistic exercise. The author examines Fenoglio’s translations as culturally and ideologically informed artistic expressions, in which Fenoglio was able to give voice to his dissent towards the mainstream ideology and poetics of his times, often choosing authors and characters with whom he identified, such as Shakespeare, Milton and Marlowe. The interaction between the theories of Translation Studies, Literary Theory and Adaptation Studies foregrounds the centrality of the role of the translator, showing how Fenoglio’s ideology and poetics were clearly visible both in the selection of the texts he translated and in his translation strategies.

Maritime Mobilities in Anglophone Literature and Culture

Maritime Mobilities in Anglophone Literature and Culture by Alexandra Ganser, Charne Lavery
English | PDF EPUB | 2023 | 262 Pages | ISBN : 3030912744 | 7.7 MB

This edited collection explores various aspects of how oceanic im/ mobilities have been framed and articulated in the literary and cultural imagination. It covers the entanglements of maritime mobility and immobility as they are articulated and problematized in selected literature and cultural forms from the early modern period to the present. In particular, it brings cultural mobility studies into conversation with the maritime and oceanic humanities. The contributors examine the interface between the traditional Eurocentric imagination of the sea as romantic and metaphorical, and the materiality of the sea as a deathbed for racialized and illegalized humans as well as non-human populations.

Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment": A Reader's Guide (Cultural Syllabus)

Dostoevsky's "Crime and Punishment": A Reader's Guide (Cultural Syllabus) by Deborah A. Martinsen
English | February 22nd, 2022 | ISBN: 164469784X, 1644697831 | 134 pages | True EPUB | 5.43 MB

Crime and Punishment: A Reader's Guide focuses on narrative strategy, psychology, and ideology. Martinsen demonstrates how Dostoevsky first plunges the reader into Raskolnikov's fevered brain, creating sympathy for him, and she explains why most readers root for him to get away from the scene of the crime. Dostoevsky subsequently provides outsider perspectives on Raskolnikov's thinking, effecting a conversion in reader sympathy. By examining the multiple justifications for murder Raskolnikov gives as he confesses to Sonya, Dostoevsky debunks rationality-based theories. Finally, the question of why Raskolnikov and others, including the reader, focus on the murder of the pawnbroker and forget the unintended murder of Lizaveta reveals a narrative strategy based on shame and guilt.
