    This open access book offers innovative and wide-ranging responses to the continuously flourishing literary phenomenon of autofiction. The book shows the insights that are gained in the shift from the genre descriptor to the adjective, and from a broad application of "the autofictional" as a theoretical lens and aesthetic strategy. In three sections on "Approaches," "Affordances," and "Forms," the volume proposes new theoretical approaches for the study of autofiction and the autofictional, offers fresh perspectives on many of the prominent authors in the discussion, draws them into a dialogue with autofictional practice from across the globe, and brings into view texts, forms, and media that have not traditionally been considered for their autofictional dimensions. The book, in sum, expands the parameters of research on autofiction to date to allow new voices and viewpoints to emerge.

    “In this book, editors Ganser and Lavery and an impressive roster of contributors bring bracing critical insight to the study of oceanic forms of capacious movement and brutal constraint. Attentive to the decolonial, ecological, aesthetic, and socio-political dimensions of both blue humanities and mobility studies, this volume brings particular urgency and freshness to terraqueous cultural study.” —Hester Blum, Penn State University, USA “By emphasizing the reciprocal nature of the relationship between mobility and the ‘deep blue,’ this collection does much more than show how the often-Eurocentric rhetoric of transoceanic exchange was mobilized as a metaphorical or material resource. Rather, it also demonstrates the crucial intersectionality of multiple discourses around race, gender, nationality, coloniality, economy, markets, accessibility, pollution, and extraction, while simultaneously opening up and exploring intellectually rich avenues of inquiry.” — Jens Klenner, Assistant Professor, Bowdoin College, USA This open access 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. Alexandra Ganser is Professor of North American Studies at the University of Vienna, Austria, where she also heads the interdisciplinary Research Platform “Mobile Cultures and Societies.” Charne Lavery is Lecturer in the Department of English at the University of Pretoria and Research Fellow on the Oceanic Humanities for the Global South project based at WISER, University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa.

    'Frauke Matthes probes themes of difference, desire and cultural (dis-)location in contemporary German fiction, illuminating the ambivalent and varied realities of masculinity in compelling readings of texts by five prominent male authors. With its welcome emphasis on writers who are culturally 'other' to a hegemonic German mainstream, the study diversifies and deepens critical perspectives on lived and imagined masculinities within the wider landscape of global neoliberal ecocidal capitalism.'--Caitríona Ní Dhúill, Professor of German, University College Cork, Ireland The complex nexus between masculinity and national identity has long troubled, but also fascinated the German cultural imagination. This has become apparent again since the fall of the Iron Curtain and the turn of the millennium when transnational developments have noticeably shaped Germany's self-perception as a nation. This book examines the social and political impact of transnationalism with reference to current discourses of masculinity in novels by five contemporary male German-language authors. Specifically, it analyses how conceptions of the masculine interact with those of nationality, ethnicity, and otherness in the selected texts and assesses the new masculinities that result from those interactions. Exploring how local discourses of masculinity become part of transnational contexts in contemporary writing, the book moves a consideration of masculinities from a "native" into a transnational sphere. Frauke Matthes is Senior Lecturer in German at the University of Edinburgh, UK. She is the author and co-editor of several books and articles on contemporary German-language writing, masculinities in literature, and transnational and world literature. .

    This book analyses the impact of economic informality on the novel form across the modern world-system, looking specifically at works by Antonio de Almeida, Machado de Assis, Dany Laferrière, Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o, Nadine Gordimer, and Masande Ntshanga. It sees the representation of informal economies as a structural homology of world-literature. In chapters on the figure of the agregado in the nineteenth-century Brazilian novel; sex work in Haitian fiction; the politics of the informal economy in the post-apartheid South African novel; and Ngugi's representation African occult economies, Josh Jewell explores the relationship between the rise of improvised economic activity-and its consolidation under neoliberalism in postcolonial nations-and literary form. He shows how informal economies can be grasped as locations of strategy and improvisation whose subjects must shift constantly between officialdom and underground networks; between the realms of the licit and illicit. This produces highly heterogenous narratives oscillating between different tones and registers (unserious and tragic), social spaces (working-class and elite), and conceptions of reality. By comparing the various situated aesthetics of informality, this book instrumentalises the Warwick Research Collective's compelling but nebulous idea of a world-literature that "variously registers" a "singular modernity". Josh Jewell is a resident scholar in the Humanities Institute at University College Dublin, Ireland. His research analyses the relationship between labour and literary form in world-literature. His current postdoctoral research project focuses on representations of labour which falls outside of direct market mediation--such as domestic labour and peasant agriculture--in South Africa, Brazil, the Caribbean, and the European periphery.

    This handbook offers a comprehensive survey of the growing field of literary age studies and points to new directions in scholarly research. Divided into four sections, the volume reflects the current conversations in the field: intersections and intersectionalities, traveling concepts, methodological innovations, and archival inquiries. It encompasses the spectrum of critical approaches that literary age studies scholars employ, from environmental studies and postcolonial theory to critical race theory and queer studies. While close reading continues to be a mainstay of literary criticism, the handbook highlights alternative tools and routes in both data elicitation and analysis. The final part of the book shows the burgeoning interest in the field from literary scholars across historical periods, extending the scope of literary age studies beyond contemporary texts. This is an essential reference work for advanced students and scholars of literary studies, gerontology, age/aging studies, interdisciplinary studies and cultural studies.

    Wenngleich der Forschungsstand, wenn es sich um die intendierte Textaussage des Musil'schen Œuvre handelt, durch das Fehlen einer Opinio communis gekennzeichnet ist, tritt die vorliegende Studie den Beweis an, dass eine ebensolche freizulegen ist. In Musils Opus magnum laufen die konzeptionellen Fäden zusammen, die bereits in seinem ersten Roman angelegt sind. In seiner trieb-teleologischen Skepsis beschäftigte ihn die Realisierbarkeit eines neuen Menschentypus - eines Mannes ohne Eigenschaften -, dessen Zweck darin bestanden hätte, dem Zueilen auf den großen Weltuntergang etwas von seiner Dynamik zu nehmen und möglichen Großkonflikten so vorzubeugen. Denn die Freud'sche Triebskepsis, die Musil früh zu eigen war, wurde zu seinem treuen weltanschaulichen Begleiter und gewann von Werk zu Werk an geschichtlicher Schärfe. Der Autor Gernot Wimmer lehrt Neuere deutsche Literatur und Komparatistik an der Universität Wien. Er hat zu Kafkas Romanfragment Der Verschollene promoviert. Seine Arbeitsschwerpunkte sind Neuere deutsche Literatur und Weltliteratur.

    This book explores the significant textual relationship between Mary and Percy Shelley and the early works of the Brontë siblings. Through a detailed examination of the Shelleyan narrative accessible to the Brontës from their childhood to their final novels, this study argues for a fresh perspective on the Brontës' engagement with the Shelleys in both their juvenilia and later seven novels. In this respect, the book considers the Brontës as readers rather than exclusively as writers, viewing them as a product of the early nineteenth-century literary marketplace which maintained affinities to Romanticism. Reading, rewriting, and appropriating the textual Shelleys was a fundamental vein stemming the Brontës' writing from childhood, with Mary epitomising the model for what the sisters would eventually become: the female novelist. Julie Elizabeth Young is an alumna of the University of Cambridge, currently working as independent researcher. As a teaching affiliate, she has taught undergraduate students at the University of Nottingham. She has also undertaken professional archival research in British universities, in archives at the Brontë Parsonage Museum, and in an archive in Paris.

    This book offers a new critique of selfhood in Romantic literature. In the past, Romanticism has been seen as an individualistic movement, with writers believing in the 'centrality' of the self. Challenging this prevailing view of Romanticism and the modern self, this study unveils an alternative tradition of Romantic writing in which the self is fragile, degenerate, non-existent - or in a word, contingent. It combines philosophy, intellectual history, literary studies and digital humanities and takes a transnational approach both in its coverage of philosophical thought and literature, including case studies from England, Ireland, Scotland and colonial Australia, with examples from American and European works as well. The book also uses innovative digital techniques such as text analysis, sentiment mining and network analysis to enrich the exploration of text and context. It covers all major genres of Romantic writing: fiction (realist novels), poetry (the sonnet), non-fiction prose (biography) and drama (gothic tragedy). Providing a new framework for understanding the contingent self, this book is of interest to scholars and students of Romantic literature, philosophy of the self and digital humanities. Michael Falk is Senior Lecturer in Digital Studies in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Melbourne, Australia. He is a literary scholar and programmer, whose work considers how computing can expand the study of literature, and how literature can expand the study of computing. His work appears in the Oxford Encyclopedia of Literary Theory, Interdisciplinary Science Reviews, Frontiers in AI and Robotics, the John Clare Society Journal, and elsewhere. Romanticism and the Contingent Self is his first book.

    Offering comparative and interdisciplinary approaches to Natalia Ginzburg, this volume situates Ginzburg's works within major critical discourses to articulate innovative readings and mobilize further lines of inquiry. The first section, "World Literature and World Making," uses translation practices, world literature, and transnational studies to theorize the growing popularity of Ginzburg. The second section, "Female Bodies, Voices, and Gazes," draws on gender and queer studies, speech act theory, intersectional feminism, and media studies to begin to address gaps in Ginzburg scholarship. The last section, "Identity, Topography, and Forms," approaches Ginzburg through the lenses of trauma studies, topography, novel and essay studies, and Jewish identity. Natalia Ginzburg's Global Legacies both makes available in English important Italian research and builds on significant international discourses. In bridging Italian and Anglophone scholarship, the volume engages students and scholars of Comparative and Italian literature, world literature, and women's writing, as well as general readers of Ginzburg. Stiliana Milkova Rousseva is Associate Professor of Comparative Literature and Italian at Oberlin College, USA. She is the author of Elena Ferrante as World Literature (2021) and of numerous scholarly articles on Italian, Russian, and Bulgarian literatures. Saskia Elizabeth Ziolkowski is Associate Professor of Romance Studies at Duke University, USA and affiliated faculty in German and Jewish Studies. She is the author of Kafka's Italian Progeny (2020), the winner of the 2020 AAIS Book Prize for Literary Studies.

    Grounded in world-systemic analysis, this book revisits the literary and social implications of 'tragedy' in relation to global narratives about Africa and within fiction by writers from the continent. It argues that working through the full complexity of 'tragedy' helps to identify and challenge plots that depict Africa as reaching a tragic impasse. Instead, reconsidering tragedy allows for further, related interventions including the implications of narratives of development, the argument for formally engaging with literary texts that present challenging material, reformulations of African political and cultural agency, and the possibilities to be found in utopian thinking. It claims that contemporary fiction helps to scrutinise the familiar big picture of Africa and create space for discussions about wider political and historical commonalities between the continent and the rest of the world. As such, the novels discussed in this study are not simply 'about' Africa: these fictional narratives position Africa as a central actor within the global history of late capitalism. Amy Rushton is Senior Lecturer in English at Nottingham Trent University, UK. They have over a decade of teaching experience and have published numerous articles on African literature, neoliberalism, and contemporary cultural representations of mental distress. Amy is currently Chair of the Board for the National Survivor User Network (NSUN).

    Das vorliegende Buch ist ein neuer, komparatistisch angelegter Versuch über Friedrich Schlegels Konzept der ,Universalpoesie'. Dieser Kernbegriff der Früh-Romantik wird mittels der von Schlegel der Bibel entliehenen Paulinischen Dichotomie von ,Geist' und ,Buchstaben' erörtert. Mit seiner romantischen Poetik polemisiert Schlegel vor allem gegen das, was er die europäische ,Geisteskrankheit' nennt. Gemeint ist die ,Buchstabenkunst', die entweder durch leeres Formspiel, wie dies bei der französischen Neoklassik der Fall ist, oder, wie bei den Engländern, durch die Verfolgung rein materieller Zwecke gekennzeichnet sei. In beiden Fällen fehle es, so Schlegel, an dem echt ,Geistigen', d. h. an etwas ,Apriorischem', das der reinen Empirie gegenüberstehen soll. Die vorliegende Arbeit integriert in ihrem Herangehen eine historische und eine hermeneutische Position. Der Akzent liegt auf dem zunächst zu erledigenden ,rekonstruktiven' Schritt. Sodann werden Möglichkeiten diskutiert, Schlegels Position als Schritte hin zu einem existenzialphilosophischen Verständnis von Sprache und Kunst zu lesen, so, wie es dann bei Nietzsche, Heidegger und Gadamer entfaltet wird. Die Autorin Yiyun Lu hat an der Freien Universität Berlin promoviert. Ihre Forschungsschwerpunkte liegen in deutscher Philologie und vergleichender Literaturwissenschaft. Derzeit forscht sie als Postdoc an der Peking Universität und leitet ein Projekt zur Mythenrezeption an der Berlin University Alliance. .

    Conflicts engages Hebrew and Arabic literature to critically reassess the concept of conflict, both in Palestine-Israel and in general. Drawing on a diverse archive, ranging from the 1930s to the present and from prose and poetry to film and television, it reveals indigenous literary concepts that better theorize the region's antagonisms and mediations, its colonial technologies and anticolonial practices.

    This book compares the interrelationship of Irish writer James Joyce's literary works and specific Nordic literature in translation, employing an onomastic and etymological framework. It elucidates the importance of these frequent Scandinavian associations and how they inform and shape his literary work. The development of Joyce's work shows a sustained interest in contemporary Nordic and Old Norse medieval literature. By analysing Joyce's works and paratexts alongside a cross-section of important texts - Dubliners (1907) with Hans Christian Andersen's "Lykkens Kalosker" ("The Goloshes of Fortune") and "Den Lille Havfrue" ("The Little Sea Maid"), Exiles (1914) with Henrik Ibsen's When We Dead Awaken (1899), and specific medieval writing (Old Norse sagas and poetry) with Joyce's critical essays and later works, including Ulysses and Finnegans Wake - this book shows that Joyce's use of Nordic material in his writing constitutes a more extensive set of connections than previously thought. Dr Mary Lawton is an independent scholar based in Cork, Ireland. She obtained her PhD at University College Cork and is the 2024 O'Donnell Fellowship holder in Irish Studies. .

    This book presents a systematic elaboration on Chinese literature and its criticism, with special reference to introducing the predominant role of idea-image. The author holds that image takes on a central position in Chinese literature. Chinese literature is composed of idea-images that depict the scenery and express the emotions in perfect harmony, conveyed through literary language, reflecting the unique aesthetic sensibilities and the creative consciousness of Chinese people. It is created by Chinese literati with an emotion-centered soul, who experience nature and society with a mode of comprehension rooted in sensibility, yet not confined to it. Drawing from the traditional Chinese culture and incorporating the creative expression of Chinese literati, the author expounds systematically on Chinese literature's basic features and living spirit which are centered on the idea-image. Furthermore, the author discusses the transitional patterns observed in both highbrow and vernacular Chinese literature. Embracing a modern research perspective, the author not only provides insights into traditional literature but also sheds light on its contemporary relevance. This endeavor unveils the unique values inherent in Chinese literature at a profound level, thereby offering invaluable insights into the essence and spirit of Chinese literary tradition. Zhu Zhirong is professor in the Department of Chinese Language and Literature at East China Normal University, and Changjiang Distinguished Professor appointed by the Ministry of Education of China.

    This creative writing textbook introduces students to ecofiction: narrative writing that focuses on the environment. Also known as 'climate fiction' or 'cli-fi', an increasing number of short story writers, novelists and pioneers of emerging forms such as interactive fiction are taking up the call to develop their own creative responses to the climate crisis. This guide explores a cross-section of genres and ways of writing about our world, as well as the ethical and technical challenges involved. It offers a discussion of classic and contemporary texts, literary criticism and creative writing exercises. The book covers a broad range of themes and styles of writing, from works that engage with nature and landscape writing to those that take a more activist approach to climate change. With an awareness of the Global South and the subaltern, the framing of the Anthropocene, wilderness and nature writing is challenged. Each chapter offers a new perspective on ecofiction for the creative writer, with reading suggestions and connections to other writers and texts, and writing activities. Designed for upper-level undergraduate and postgraduate writing modules on the environment, the book is also suitable for independent writers looking to expand their skillset. Featuring 20 interviews with ecofiction authors: Ana Filomena Amaral, Austin Aslan, Denise Baden, David Barker, TC Boyle, Lynn Buckle, Adam Connor, Michelle Cook, Julie Carrick Dalton, April Doyle, Anna Holmes, Somto Ihezue, RB Kelly, Gill Lewis, Anne Mordell, Anthony Nanson, Midge Raymond, Manda Scott, Mary Woodbury, John Yunker. 'An extensive and enthusiastic guide into the wild and varied worlds of eco-fiction.' --James Canton, Director of Wild Writing MA, University of Essex, UK.

    Feministische Literatur- und Kulturkritik erforscht interdisziplinäre Verbindungen zwischen Kulturanthropologie, Geographie, Psychologie und feministischer Literaturkritik, um einen theoretischen Rahmen für Raumkritik zu entwickeln. Anhand des im Buch entwickelten Rahmens der räumlichen Gynokritik werden ausgewählte Texte aus fünf verschiedenen Genres - Kurzgeschichte, Roman, Film, Zeichentrickfilm und OTT-Serie - analysiert, die von Frauen verfasst wurden. Die in dem Buch behandelten Autorinnen bilden eine transnationale Gemeinschaft von Frauen, die gemeinsame Anliegen in Bezug auf Geschlecht, Umwelt, Technologie und soziale Hierarchien teilen. Es handelt sich um eine geografisch und sprachlich vielfältige Gruppe aus Indien, Uruguay, Spanien, Argentinien und den USA. Das Buch bietet ein immenses Potenzial für eine vergleichende Studie zu zahlreichen Aspekten, von denen sich die vorliegende Arbeit auf die Behandlung des Themas Raum konzentriert und zeigt, dass räumliche Logik und Grammatik wesentliche Elemente der feministischen Praxis sind. Das Buch offenbart das ungeprüfte Potenzial der Praxis der Schöpferinnen, die zugeschriebenen Zentren, um die herum die sozialen Arrangements strukturiert sind, zu destabilisieren, zu dezentrieren und zu zerstören. Darüber hinaus bietet das Buch wertvolle Analyseinstrumente, die die Literaturtheorie, die vergleichenden Kulturwissenschaften, die vergleichende Literaturwissenschaft, die Geschlechterforschung, die feministische Kritik und die interdisziplinären Geisteswissenschaften bereichern. Es ist ein unverzichtbares Hilfsmittel für Studierende und Lehrende in diesen Studienbereichen, das es ihnen ermöglicht, Texte aus einer neuen Perspektive zu betrachten. Die Übersetzung wurde mit Hilfe von künstlicher Intelligenz durchgeführt. Eine anschließende menschliche Überarbeitung erfolgte vor allem in Bezug auf den Inhalt.

    This Open Access book, Crisis and Legitimacy in Atlantic American Narratives of Piracy: 1678-1865, examines literary and visual representations of piracy beginning with A.O. Exquemelin’s 1678 Buccaneers of America and ending at the onset of the US-American Civil War. Examining both canonical and understudied texts—from Puritan sermons, James Fenimore Cooper’s The Red Rover, and Herman Melville’s “Benito Cereno” to the popular cross-dressing female pirate novelette Fanny Campbell, and satirical decorated Union envelopes, this book argues that piracy acted as a trope to negotiate ideas of legitimacy in the contexts of U.S. colonialism, nationalism, and expansionism. The readings demonstrate how pirates were invoked in transatlantic literary production at times when dominant conceptions of legitimacy, built upon categorizations of race, class, and gender, had come into crisis. As popular and mobile maritime outlaw figures, it is suggested, pirates asked questions about might and right at critical moments of Atlantic history.

    Far from teleological historiography, the pan-European perspective on Early Modern drama offered in this volume provides answers to why, how, where and when the given phenomena of theatre appear in history. Using theories of circulation and other concepts of exchange, transfer and movement, the authors analyze the development and differentiation of European secular and religious drama, within the disciplinary framework of comparative literature and the history of literature and concepts. Within this frame, aspects of major interest are the relationship between tradition and innovation, the status of genre, the proportion of autonomous and heteronomous creational dispositions within the artefacts or genres they belong to, as well as strategies of functionalization in the context of a given part of the cultural net. Contributions cover a broad range of topics, including poetics of Early Modern Drama; political, institutional and social practices; history of themes and motifs (Stoffgeschichte); history of genres/cross-fertilization between genres; textual traditions and distribution of texts; questions of originality and authorship; theories of circulation and net structures in Drama Studies.

    Der Film ist heute als Kunstform anerkannt; das Kino hat sich als Institution etabliert. Gemeinsam haben sie mit ihren medialen und darstellerischen Möglichkeiten früh auf andere Künste gewirkt - insbesondere auf die Bildende Kunst und die Literatur. Der Impuls einer ästhetischen und ideologischen Abgrenzung spielt dabei eine ebenso große Rolle wie der Versuch, filmische Verfahren zu übertragen. Derartige ästhetische Transfers geschehen nicht nur als medieninterne Analogie, sondern auch als bewusste Übernahme bestimmter ästhetischer Prinzipien und Verfahren.Wie Film und Kino mit ihren spezifischen Mustern in Kunst und Literatur reflektiert werden können, verhandelt der durchgängig zweisprachige Band (deutsch/französisch) aus einer interdisziplinären, intermedialen und kulturgeschichtlichen Perspektive. Movies and films in the mirror of literature and the arts - treated inter-disciplinarily and inter-medially.
