    As humans re-negotiate their boundaries with the nonhuman world of animals,inanimate entities and technological artefacts, new identities are formed and anew epistemological and ethical approach to reality is needed. Through twelvethought-provoking, scholarly essays, this volume analyzes works by a range ofmodern and contemporary Italian authors, from Giacomo Leopardi to ElenaFerrante, who have captured the shift from anthropocentrism and postmodernismto posthumanism. Indeed, this is the first academic volume investigating narrativeconfigurations of posthuman identity in Italian literature and film.

    Notes:

    ‘This volume of essays makes a powerful argument for the distinctiveness of theItalian contribution to contemporary debates on the posthuman. The contributorsto Posthumanism in Italian Literature and Film: Boundaries and Identity show howthe culture that gave the world modern European humanism has also producedsome of the most radical and searching critiques of what it is to be human in themodern and late modern age.’— Michael Cronin, Professor of French, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, andauthor of Eco-translation (2017)‘Brilliantly edited by Enrica Maria Ferrara, Posthumanism in Italian Literature andFilm expands the canon of posthumanist literary studies, enriching it withunexpected topics and voices. In a dazzling sequence of chapters on Leopardi,Pirandello, Elena Ferrante, Gianni Celati, Michelangelo Antonioni, and a numberof contemporary storytellers and filmmakers, the authors of this fascinating bookfollow the human as it emerges from a tangle of organic and inorganic substances,DNA and energy sources, mobile phones and microbes, technology and politics.An engaging read, it is yet another testimony to the established presence ofItalian culture on the scene of posthumanities.’— Serenella Iovino, Professor of Italian Studies and Environmental Humanities,University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USAAs humans re-negotiate their boundaries with the nonhuman world of animals,inanimate entities and technological artefacts, new identities are formed and anew epistemological and ethical approach to reality is needed.

    ‘Heather Ostman’s Kate Chopin and Catholicism is meaty, interesting, and provocative. It may change the way we all read this marvel of a writer.’ — Linda Wagner-Martin, Professor of English and Comparative Literature at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA, and author of Hemingway’s Wars: The Public and Private Battles (2017) ‘Heather Ostman’s Kate Chopin and Catholicism heralds an innovative methodology with rich possibilities for studies of Kate Chopin and American realism. As Chopin became immersed in the studies of Darwin, she drew away from practicing Catholicism. Ostman demonstrates how Chopin used Catholicism as a device to examine social issues and critique the schism between physical and corporeal pleasure. Ostman exemplifies how Chopin leveraged Catholicism to arrive at a revolutionary and unorthodox definition of mysticism and spirituality.’ — Kate O’Donoghue, Associate Professor of English, Suffolk County Community College, USA This book explores the Catholic aesthetic and mystical dimensions in Kate Chopin’s fiction within the context of an evolving American Catholicism in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Through a close reading of her novels and numerous short stories, Kate Chopin and Catholicism looks at the ways Chopin represented Catholicism in her work as a literary device that served on multiple levels: as an aesthetic within local color depictions of Louisiana, as a trope for illuminating the tensions surrounding nineteenth-century women’s struggles for autonomy, as a critique of the Catholic dogma that subordinated authenticity and physical and emotional pleasure, and as it pointed to the distinction between religious doctrine and mystical experience, and enabled the articulation of spirituality beyond the context of the Church. This book reveals Chopin to be not only a literary visionary but a writer who saw divinity in the natural world

    Transatlantic Literature and Culture After 9/11 asks whether post-9/11 America has chosen the 'wrong side of paradise' by waging war on terror rather than working for global peace. Analyzing transatlantic literature and culture, the book refocuses our view of Ground Zero through the lenses of imperial power and cosmopolitan exchange.

    This book revisits Jean Rhys’s ground-breaking 1966 novel to explore its cultural and artistic influence in the areas of not only literature and literary criticism, but fashion design, visual art, and the theatre as well. Building on symposia that were held in London and New York in 2016 in honour of the novel’s half-century, this collection demonstrates just how timely Rhys’s insights into colonial history, sexual relations, and aesthetics continue to be. The chapters include an extensive interview with novelist Caryl Phillips, who in 2018 published a novel about Rhys’s life, an account of how Wide Sargasso Sea can be read through the lens of the #MeToo Movement, a clothing line inspired by the novel, and new critical directions. As both a celebration and scholarly evaluation, the collection shows how enduring Rhys’s novel is in its continuing literary influence and social commentary.

    Ernest Hemingway: A Literary Life includes new research on the best-known of the posthumous publications: A Moveable Feast, 1964 (and the 2009 A Moveable Feast: The Restored Edition); Islands in the Stream, 1970; and The Garden of Eden, 1986. Linda Wagner-Martin provides background and intertextual readings—particularly of the way Hemingway’s unpublished stories ("Phillip Haines was a writer") and his fiction from Men Without Women and Winner Take Nothing interface with the memoir. The revised edition also highlights and provides background on Hemingway’s treatment of F. Scott Fitzgerald and Gertrude Stein, his life in Paris in the 1920s, and his connection to the poetry scene there—putting this in conversation with Mary Hemingway’s edits of A Moveable Feast. The new chapters also illuminate the reception of Islands in the Stream and a new way of understanding the role of gender and androgyny in The Garden of Eden. On a whole, the book draws from extensive archival research, particularly correspondence of all four of Hemingway’s wives.

    This book consists of a collection of essays by Mexican writer Elena Poniatowska in their first English translation, and a critical introduction. The highly engaging essays explore the lives of seven transformational figures for Mexican feminism. This includes Frida Kahlo, Maria Izquierdo, and Nahui Olin, three outstanding artists of the cultural renaissance of the early twentieth century, and Nellie Campobello, Elena Garro, Rosario Castellanos, and Pita Amor, forerunner writers and poets whose works laid a path for Mexican women writers in the later twentieth century. Poniatowska’s essays discuss their fervent activity, interactions with other prominent figures, details and intricacies about their specific works, their scandalous and irreverent activities to draw attention to their craft, and specific revelations about their lives. The extensive critical introduction surveys the early feminist movement and Mexican cultural history, explores how Mexico became a more closed society by the mid-twentieth century, and suggests further reading and films. This book will be of interest both to the general reader and to scholars interested in feminist/gender studies, Mexican literary and cultural studies, Latin American women writers, the cultural renaissance, translation, and film studies.

    Decolonial Approaches to Latin American Literatures and Cultures engages and problematizes concepts such as "decolonial" and "coloniality" to question methodologies in literary and cultural scholarship. While the eleven contributions produce diverse approaches to literary and cultural texts ranging from Pre-Columbian to contemporary works, there is a collective questioning of the very idea of "Latin America," what "Latin American" contains or leaves out, and the various practices and locations constituting Latinamericanism. This transdisciplinary study aims to open an evolving corpus of decolonial scholarship, providing a unique entry point into the literature and material culture produced from precolonial to contemporary times.

    "Buddenbrooks. Verfall einer Familie" (1901) legte den Grundstein für Thomas Manns außergewöhnliche Karriere als Schriftsteller und Repräsentant der deutschen Literatur und Kultur weltweit. Der Roman zählt nicht nur zu den nobelpreisgekrönten und meistgelesenen, sondern auch zu den meistinterpretierten Texten der deutschsprachigen Literatur. Das Handbuch bündelt die umfassende Forschung über den Roman und präsentiert neben der Entstehungs- und Rezeptionsgeschichte auch die zentralen Themen und Strukturen. Eingegangen wird nicht nur auf Familie, Ökonomie und Religion, sondern auch auf scheinbare Randthemen wie Essen und Trinken oder Elemente des Phantastischen. Zusätzlich eröffnet das Handbuch interpretatorische und literaturtheoretische Zugänge zum Text, von der Sozialgeschichte über Erinnerungs- und Gedächtnistheorien oder Weiblichkeits- und Männlichkeitskonstruktionen bis zur Wissenspoetologie Grundlagen -- Themen und Strukturen -- Zugänge -- Anhang

Meanings of Meat in Videogames, Tom Tyler This collection of essays centers on literary representations of meat-eating, bringing aesthetic questions into dialogue with more established research on the ethics and politics of meat. From the decline of traditional animal husbandry to the emergence of intensive agriculture and the biotechnological innovation of in vitro meat, the last hundred years have seen dramatic changes in meat production. Meat consumption has risen substantially, inciting the emergence of new forms of political subjectivity, such as the radical rejection of meat production in veganism. Featuring essays on both canonical and lesser-known authors, Literature and Meat Since 1900 illustrates the ways in which our meat regime is shaped, reproduced and challenged as much by cultural and imaginative factors as by political contestation and moral reasoning

Anhang Dieser Band präsentiert die Literatur des Ruhrgebiets zwischen 1960 und 2010, die hauptsächlich vor dem Hintergrund des industriellen wie kulturellen Strukturwandels der Region entstanden ist. In Abgrenzung zu mehr chronikalisch-personal angelegten Literaturgeschichten erschließt er diese Literatur anhand von Knotenpunkten, die jeweils eine wichtige Konstellation zum Ausgangspunkt haben und vielfach Anstöße für überregionale bzw. gesamtdeutsche Entwicklungen gebildet haben. Auf diese Weise kann der Band – über den konkreten Fall ‚Ruhrgebiet‘ hinaus – als Modell regionaler Literaturgeschichtsschreibung dienen

The Pugnacity and Speculation of Hope, or Why We Want a Better World -- 5. The Messianic Power of Fantasy in the Bible -- 6. Ernst Bloch’s Enlightened View of the Fairy Tale and Utopian Longing -- 7. The Utopian Function of Fairy Tales and Fantasy: Ernst Bloch the Marxist and J. R. R. Tolkien the Catholic -- 8. Kitsch, Colportage, and the Liberating Potential of Vor-Schein in Fairy Tales -- 9. Epilogue: Why Hope? This book provides a comprehensive introduction to and overview of the life and philosophy of Ernst Bloch. Bloch has had a strange fate in the English-speaking world. He wrote his famous three-volume opus, The Principle of Hope, while living in exile in the United States from 1938 to 1940. It was first published, however, in East Germany in the 1950s after he had returned to Europe and became a professor of philosophy at the University of Leipzig. Gradually, his other numerous works became better known and widespread in Europe and scholars in the US and UK started to take note of his works. Yet, he has still remained a somewhat neglected figure in the humanities. While this book does not set out to entirely rectify this neglect, it does offer readers an introduction to Bloch’s works and the opportunity to understand more about the importance of utopian thought. Through an exploration of some of Bloch’s more controversial communist leanings and relationship to the Soviet Union, a study of Bloch’s utopian quest, and even a comparison with J. R. R. Tolkien, this comprehensive study demonstrates just how interesting a figure Ernst Bloch really was, and how his philosophy of hope has laid the basis for secular humanism

    Zentraler Bestandteil der Erinnerungsdiskurse zum Ersten Weltkrieg sind jene Romane, Gedichte oder - historisch besonders wirkmächtig - Theaterstücke, die sich mit dem Kriegsgeschehen und dessen Auswirkungen auseinandersetzen. Der Band konzentriert sich auf die Verarbeitung des Kriegsgeschehens im deutschsprachigen und australischen Drama, weil dem Ersten Weltkrieg eine vergleichbar große Relevanz im jeweiligen Identitätsdiskurs zukommt, er aber gleichzeitig eine ganz unterschiedliche Akzentuierung erfährt. Die Weltkriegsdramatik erscheint vor diesem Hintergrund als idealer Gegenstand transnationaler komparatistischer Studien
