    Zusammenfassung: This book presents Maingueneau’s notion of paratopia and its application to literary discourse. Unlike most discourse analysts, who pay little attention to literature, the author argues that a discourse analytical perspective allows us to challenge the usual separation between textual and contextual approaches to works. Considered as an impossible belonging, paratopia is a condition of possibility of literature, of the subjects who occupy a writer's position and of the use they make of language. To find their place as creators, writers must elaborate their own paratopia, they must give it shape and meaning. Their works must both construct a certain world and, through paratopic shifters, reflect and legitimise the conditions of their own appearance. Paratopia is an invariant of literature, but it takes different forms throughout history: writers draw on their paratopic potential to appropriate the resources made available to them by literary discourse in their own time. Today, the development of digital technologies and research on gender prompts us to take a different look at traditional forms of paratopia. The corpus includes canonical and recent texts, mainly from Western literature. It will be of interest to students and scholars in literary studies, discourse studies (discourse theory and discourse analysis), and sociology of culture. Dominique Maingueneau is Professor Emeritus of Linguistics at Sorbonne Université, France. His research focuses on discourse analysis

    Zusammenfassung: This book presents the first systematic study of the 100-year history of translation, research, reception, and influence of Central and Eastern European literature in China from the late Qing Dynasty to the end of the twentieth century. This study of Eastern European literature from the perspective of Sino-foreign literary relations is based on extensive research into the translation and reception of Central and Eastern European writers such as Milan Kundera, Sándor Petőfi, Henryk Sienkiewicz, Julius Fucik, and Bertolt Brecht. Since the late nineteenth century, the major Chinese writers have paid special attention to the literature of the marginalized Eastern European nations when they have to translate from translations since few of them understand Eastern European languages. The book seeks to identify what attracted the founders of new Chinese literature to Eastern European literature and to define its unique significance for the construction of modern Chinese literature.

    Zusammenfassung: Das weitere Erstarken rechter Parteien und die Corona-Pandemie haben zu politischen und wirtschaftlichen Konflikten in Frankreich geführt. Doch was sind die Hintergründe der aktuellen Situation, wie ist die französische Gesellschaft strukturiert, wie funktioniert das politische System? – Diese Einführung beschreibt die politischen, wirtschaftlichen, sozialen, kulturellen und mentalen Strukturen, die die gegenwärtige Situation der französischen Gesellschaft prägen und vermittelt ein grundlegendes Verständnis für unser Nachbarland. Ausführlich beschäftigt sich der Autor mit dem historischen Gedächtnis Frankreichs, den Medien, den Kulturinstitutionen sowie mit den für Frankreichs Kulturpolitik wichtigen Bezügen zu den frankophonen Staaten und Kulturen außerhalb Europas. – Für die fünfte Auflage wurde der Band umfassend aktualisiert und erweitert

    Zusammenfassung: Dieses Buch untersucht die Trennung von 'populärer' und 'ernsthafter' Kunst über einen Zeitraum von fast zwei Jahrhunderten, indem es eine ökonomische Perspektive mit soziologischen und historischen Einsichten kombiniert. Während die Grenzen zwischen etablierter Kunst und populärer Kunst immer durchlässiger werden, stellt Abbing Fragen wie: Wer profitierte von der Trennung? Warum ist Exklusivität in den etablierten Künsten so wichtig? Führte Exklusivität zu hohen Kosten, hohen Subventionen und hohen Preisen? Wurden und werden benachteiligte Gruppen vom Kunstkonsum und der Kunstproduktion ausgeschlossen? Wie wurde populäre Musik in der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts so erfolgreich? Warum bleibt der Kunstberuf trotz geringer Einkommen außergewöhnlich attraktiv für Jugendliche? Das Buch diskutiert auch die Entwicklung der Kunst im 21. Jahrhundert, indem es beispielsweise untersucht, wie die Plattformökonomie die Künste beeinflusst, ob sich die etablierten Künste der Unterhaltungsindustrie anschließen, und das aktuelle Maß an Vielfalt in der Kunst betrachtet. Aus der doppelten Perspektive des Autors als Künstler und Sozialwissenschaftler geschrieben, wird das Buch für Kulturökonomen und Akademiker sowie Künstler und allgemein kunstinteressierte Leser von Interesse sein. Hans Abbing ist ein bildender Künstler und Ökonom. Er ist auch emeritierter Professor für Kunstsoziologie an der Universität Amsterdam in den Niederlanden und unterrichtet im Masterstudiengang Kulturökonomie und Kulturelles Unternehmertum an der Erasmus-Universität Rotterdam, ebenfalls in den Niederlanden. Zuvor veröffentlichte er "The Changing Social Economy of Art" und "Why Are Artists Poor?" Die Übersetzung wurde mit Hilfe von künstlicher Intelligenz durchgeführt. Eine anschließende menschliche Überarbeitung erfolgte vor allem in Bezug auf den Inhalt. This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation

    Zusammenfassung: This book is a rip-roaring manifesto that re-claims ways to think about and do ‘leadership’. Colliding mobilities, neuro-queering, the arts and culture, critical leadership studies, social justice, creative pedagogy, futurity and Daoist cosmology for the first time, the book proposes ‘neuro-futurism’ as a beyond-colonial, heuristic change-making tool-kit for individuals and institutions. Celebrating the Dangerous, Demeaning and Dirty labour of Deviant/Defiant culture-workers often side-lined in (leadership) scholarship across 26 break-neck chapters and 40 images, this book challenges white-supremacist-cis-het-neuro-normative-capitalist-patriarchal forms of power and knowledge. Punchy, punching up and pulling no punches, it is a call to arms, feet, sole-soul, to co-create tables/houses/worlds that profit (neuro-)divergent people, planet, poetry and play. The deadline is 2050, so we’re running out of time. Are you ready for an extra-ordinary adventure? Kai Syng Tan (she/they) is an artist-academic-agitator and Associate Professor in Arts and Cultural Leadership at UK’s University of Southampton. She writes in her personal, hyperactive and tentacular capacity.

    Zusammenfassung: This book explores how Chicana literature often represents gender violence while simultaneously presenting strategies of survival in response. Adrianna M. Santos aims to contribute to a broader conversation concerning the intersections between Chicana literature and decolonial trauma theory, one which questions the colonial matrix of power and the universality of Western knowledge. Santos argues that Chicana survival narratives arise out of colonial wounds and form scars that both mark and protect the violated body. Cicatrix Poetics, Trauma and Healing in the Literary Borderlands proposes a “cicatrix poetics” that makes bold gestures toward healing and narrative/storytelling as survival. The book contends that the cicatrix fashioned through artistic expression is a necessary component for Chicana communities—not just to survive, but to thrive. The books presents several case studies that examine transformative narrativity and by theorizing the texts as survival narratives, social protest works that bring attention to violence and erasure, the chapters explore how literature can be an effective catalyst for both social change and personal transformation, an orientation towards freedom, liberation through love. Adrianna M. Santos is Associate Professor of English at Texas A&M University–San Antonio, USA, and advisor of the Mexican American Student Association. She has published in Aztlán, Chicana/Latina Studies, Shakespeare Bulletin and Latina Critical Feminism and is co-editor of The Bard in the Borderlands, and El Mundo Zurdo 8.

    Zusammenfassung: This book presents an in-depth analysis of Howard Goldblatt’s translation of Mo Yan’s Life and Death Are Wearing Me Out (L&D). It explores how Goldblatt translates the original novel under the influence of three major manipulative powers: poetics, ideology and patronage, as well as his own subjectivity (translator subjectivity), to achieve his objectives as a literary translator. The author analyses both the translation and its paratext to gain a more complete understanding of Goldblatt’s accomplishments, and examines how Goldblatt rewrites the original text under the influence of various patronage factors, such as the original author, publisher, editor, market expectancy, literary collaborator, and the target reader. This book provides a comprehensive picture of the production, reception and dissemination of Goldblatt’s translation, exposing the motivations behind his translation in full measure, and it will be of interest to students and scholars of Translation Studies, Comparative Literature and Literary Studies, and Chinese Culture and Literature. Hu Liu is lecturer at the School of Foreign Studies, West Anhui University, China. He completed his PhD in translation studies at the University of Sydney, Australia, from 2016 to 2021

The literary and artistic works investigated range in time from early indigenous rock art to contemporary literary representations of place. Bonnie Kime Scott participates in ongoing interdisciplinary discussions of ecocritical, feminist, postcolonial, post-humanist and place studies.

    Zusammenfassung: This open access book offers a concise overview of the theories constructed within the various human sciences around the theme of creativity as a symbolic capacity to link things together: it manifests itself when the individual endowed with a certain type of intelligence encounters cultural and social conditions that enable them to develop that capacity to the maximum, rather than inhibiting it or diverting it to other fields where it is doomed to failure. Even the most intimate of human expressiveness is considered as a result of an active social relationality. Social dimensions of creativity (evaluation, primary socialization, motivation, leadership) and “creative processes” (creative attitude, creative gesture, divergent thinking, problem-solving capacity, interdisciplinary approach, randomness, algorithmic creativity) are also analysed. The book concludes by evaluating the course taken in the light of the relational theory of society: the development of creativity cannot be conceived outside of self-other relations. This book is the result of a translation done with the help of artificial intelligence. The text has subsequently been revised further by a professional copy editor in order to refine the work stylistically. Pier Paolo Bellini is Associate Professor at University of Molise, Italy. His research focuses on the sociology of cultural and communicative processes, with a special interest in the characteristics of artistic communication and its intercultural potential. This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation

    Zusammenfassung: “Trauma, Memory, and the Lebanese Post-War Novel” marshals profound research into the fictional work of Rabee Jaber to undertake the first in-depth analysis of one of the most innovative contemporary literary voices. The book invites us all to situate ourselves within a post-war fiction that articulates a pressing criticism and envisions the important place of contemporary Arab literature in reflecting our global societies. – Liliana Gómez, University of Kassel, author of Archive Matter. A Camera in the Laboratory of the Modern Drawing on innovative methodologies and activating a literary-theoretical dialogue across disciplines, involving art and literature, critical theory and Arabic writing, the book contributes to a new approach to the war and postwar literature that connects debates in literary scholarship with those in art and anthropology. It particularly allows us to discover the potential of the Arabic literary text to inform theoretical models on loss and haunting beyond their context and articulation. – Barbara Winckler, University of Münster, co-editor of Arabic Literature – Postmodern Perspectives A first book-length study of Rabee Jaber’s work. Skilfully combining theoretical reflection, close reading of novels, and in-depth analysis of the narrative techniques used to convey a sense of trauma, while constantly tying it to the political-historical context, it opens up new avenues in the way it interrogates literature to talk about Lebanon's ‘invisible histories.’ It thus demonstrates how Arabic fiction contributes to the understanding and processing of traumatic events in post-conflict societies. – Barbara Winckler, co-editor of Arabic Literature – Postmodern Perspectives Writing the history of the civil war disappeared in Lebanon, as in many post-conflict societies, remains a very challenging task considering the ensuing controversial resolutions. In its close reading of three Lebanese novels by Rabee Jaber, this book follows a multidisciplinary approach to generate methods that contest the impossibility of writing the inaccessible history of those who had gone missing during the war. Dani Nassif holds a PhD in modern Arabic literature and culture and is currently adjunct lecturer at the University of Regensburg, Germany.

    Zusammenfassung: Placing Disability presents an international collection of personal essays that address the experience of disability in particular geographical locations. Each chapter engages the question of what it means to be disabled in a specific place, exploring issues of movement, work and play, community and activism, artistic production, love and marriage, access and social services, family and friendship, memory and aging—all informed by the places that people inhabit. The book is organized in terms of topographies and vistas, rather than being bound by the map, to emphasize the defining, constitutive effects of place. The authors included in Placing Disability hail from different countries, neighborhoods, climates, and landscapes; from various backgrounds and professions; from a range of disciplinary perspectives and strategies. They are trained as academics, literary critics, poets, students, public speakers, memoirists, educators, philosophers, administrators, and activists. Their essays refine our understanding of the complex dynamic between self and circumstance as they survey the impact of geographical region on their life experiences. This book is intended to be useful in creative-writing workshops, Disability Studies seminars, and classes on environmental literature, and to appeal to general readers of memoir as well as to scholars of contemporary body theory or the Anthropocene. Susannah B. Mintz is Professor of English at Skidmore College. Her books include the memoir Love Affair in the Garden of Milton (2021) and four scholarly volumes on disability and literature. She is also the co-editor of four collections of work on disability issues, including Disability Experiences (2019, with G. Thomas Couser). Gregory Fraser is Professor of English at the University of West Georgia. He is the author of four poetry collections, most recently Little Armageddon (2021), and co-author of two writing textbooks. Fraser’s poetry has appeared in journals including The New Yorker, The Paris Review, The Southern Review, and Ploughshares. He is the recipient of several awards, including grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Guggenheim Foundation

    Zusammenfassung: "Lucyna Krawczyk-Żywko’s ambitious study pursues the endlessly intriguing parallel textual lives of Sherlock Holmes and Jack the Ripper. The strange case that she sets out to solve is the extensive but neglected corpus of versus narratives: texts in which the great detective sets out to defeat the Whitechapel murderer. Krawczyk-Żywko convincingly reads these works as part of a rich textual constellation influenced by the overlapping Sherlockian and Ripperological culture texts. Her book’s focus will inevitably intrigue aficionados of Holmes and its insights into aspects of adaptation, neo-Victorianism and biofiction mean it will also appeal strongly to scholars in these areas." —Dr Chris Louttit, Radboud University, The Netherlands In versus narratives Sherlock Holmes is fighting or otherwise engaging Jack the Ripper. These texts pit the archetypal detective against the archetypal serial killer using established formulas as well as new narrative and generic features, a combination that results in their mass appeal among authors and audiences alike. The list of primary sources includes 120 titles – novels, short stories, plays, fanfiction, ‘Grand Game’ studies, movies, TV shows, video and board games – which are treated as a dialogic network of transfictional and transmedial texts. This study unpacks the versus corpus in its media dispersal by analysing Sherlock Holmes and Jack the Ripper as serial figures and culture-texts emphasising the increasing palimpsestousness of the former and the multidirectional polymorphousness of the latter, and tracing the overlapping Doylean culture-text. It also addresses the way character constellations are represented, negotiated, and fed back into the versus network, contextualising them within the coalescence of fact and fiction, Gothic and crime fiction frames, cultural memory, neo-Victorianism, and biofiction. Lucyna Krawczyk-Żywko is Assistant Professor at the Institute of English Studies, University of Warsaw, Poland. She coordinates the research group 'From Queen Anne to Queen Victoria' and initiated the Changing Narratives conference series. Her research combines neo-Victorian, crime fiction, and adaptation studies and focuses on the rewritings of Victorian villains and detectives

    Zusammenfassung: This book challenges the historical common sense that the American Revolution terminated in the birth of the United States. Prevailing narratives of the Revolutionary period rest on the assumption that the war ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1783. Yet from London to Philadelphia, and from the Six Nations’ trans-Appalachian homelands to the shores of Sierra Leone, the decades after the treaty’s signing roil with accounts that disturb the coherence of this chronological division. Insurgent Remains assembles a counter-archive of textual and visual materials—ranging from popular seduction tales and political cartoons to the writings of self-liberated African Americans—that furnishes alternative visions of revolutionary historical experience as an ongoing negotiation with violence and contingency. The book argues that the minor temporalities and political literacies registered in this archive cannot be accommodated by the progressive plot of nationalist history, in which the war figures as a contest of only two sides (Tory/Whig, British/American, Loyalist/Patriot). Instead, they become legible as “remains”: traces of attachments, modes of collective association, and unresolved struggles that bear insurgent political potential in their own right. Emma Stapely is Assistant Professor of English at the University of California, Riverside
