    This bilingual collection of essays celebrates Marko Pavlyshyn’s outstanding contribution to the study of modern and contemporary Ukrainian literature and culture. With its many methodological approaches and the variety of periods, authors and texts that it analyzes, the book reflects and builds on Marko’s willingness to modernize our understanding of Ukrainian literature as an instrument of communication between authors, readers and the nation from the late eighteenth century to the present day. Hopefully these essays will inspire readers and scholars to continue their journey through Ukrainian culture, in a context profoundly marked by the role of literary texts as agents of nation building and social evolution

  2. Diventare estranea e marginale: Rappresentazioni e autorappresentazioni del soggetto migrante in Fra-intendimenti (2010) di Kaha Mohamed Aden

    In a time where the political, social and media discourse represents the topic of migration and of flight as socially explosive subject, this article analyses how, in the short stories collected in Kaha Mohamed Aden’s Fra-intendimenti (2010), the migrant subject’s self-perception is formed by the stereotypes which their society of arrival cultivate, and how the real complexity experienced by the migrant subject is, at the same time, represented by a double referentiality. For this purpose, Edward Said’s reflections on the European and hegemonic construction of alterity and bell hooks’ intersectional approach which links race and gender will help, on the one hand, in highlighting the stereotypical perceptions of the society of arrival. On the other hand, Homi K. Bhabha’s concept of the Third Space, used to shed light on the dynamics of communication in migratory contexts, will contribute to the establishment of the complex reality experienced by the migrant subject. Thus, the reader is given the opportunity to change their own perception of reality. ; In un momento in cui il discorso politico, sociale e mediatico rappresenta il tema della migrazione e della fuga come socialmente esplosivo, questo articolo analizza come nei racconti di Fra-intendimenti (2010) di Kaha Mohamed Aden la percezione di sé del soggetto migrante venga formata dagli stereotipi che la società di arrivo proietta su loro e come, allo stesso tempo, si rappresenti la vera complessità della realtà vissuta dal soggetto migrante attraverso una doppia referenzialità. Da una parte si ricorrerà alle riflessioni di Edward Said sulla costruzione europea ed egemonica dell’alterità e all’approccio di bell hooks, che si focalizza sulle intersezioni tra race e gender, per evidenziare le percezioni stereotipe della società di arrivo; dall’altra, il concetto di «Terzo Spazio» sviluppato da Homi K. Bhabha per segnalare le dinamiche di comunicazione in contesti migratori contribuirà a mostrare la complessità della realtà sperimentata dal soggetto migrante. Così, il lettore o la lettrice ha la possibilità di cambiare la propria percezione della realtà.

    Shedding new light on the rich intellectual and political milieux shaping the divergent legacies of Joyce and Yeats, Empire’s Wake traces how a distinct postcolonial modernism emerged within Irish literature in the late 1920s to contest and extend key aspects of modernist thought and aesthetic innovation at the very moment that the high modernist literary canon was consolidating its influence and prestige.By framing its explorations of postcolonial narrative form against the backdrop of distinct historical moments from the Irish Free State to the Celtic Tiger era, the book charts the different phases of 20th-century postcoloniality in ways that clarify how the comparatively early emergence of the postcolonial in Ireland illuminates the formal shifts accompanying the transition from an age of empire to one of globalization.Bringing together new perspectives on Beckett and Joyce with analyses of the critically neglected works of Sean O’Faoláin, Frank McCourt, and the Blasket autobiographers, Empire’s Wake challenges the notion of a singular "global modernism" and argues for the importance of critically integrating the local and the international dimensions of modernist aesthetics

    Post-Mandarin offers an engaging look at a cohort of Vietnamese intellectuals who adopted European fields of knowledge, a new Romanized alphabet, and print media—all of which were foreign and illegible to their fathers. This new generation of intellectuals established Vietnam’s modern anticolonial literature.The term "post-mandarin" illuminates how Vietnam’s deracinated figures of intellectual authority adapted to a literary field moving away from a male-to-male literary address toward print culture. With this shift, post-mandarin intellectuals increasingly wrote for and about women.Post-Mandarin illustrates the significance of the inclusion of modern women in the world of letters: a more democratic system of aesthetic and political representation that gave rise to anticolonial nationalism. This conceptualization of the "post-mandarin" promises to have a significant impact on the fields of literary theory, postcolonial studies, East Asian and Southeast Asian studies, and modernist studies

    How do literature and other cultural forms shape how we imagine the planet, for better or worse? In this rich, original, and long awaited book, Jennifer Wenzel tackles the formal innovations, rhetorical appeals, and sociological imbrications of world literature that might help us confront unevenly distributed environmental crises, including global warming.The Disposition of Nature argues that assumptions about what nature is are at stake in conflicts over how it is inhabited or used. Both environmental discourse and world literature scholarship tend to confuse parts and wholes. Working with writing and film from Africa, South Asia, and beyond, Wenzel takes a contrapuntal approach to sites and subjects dispersed across space and time. Reading for the planet, Wenzel shows, means reading from near to there: across experiential divides, between specific sites, at more than one scale.Impressive in its disciplinary breadth, Wenzel’s book fuses insights from political ecology, geography, anthropology, history, and law, while drawing on active debates between postcolonial theory and world literature, as well as scholarship on the Anthropocene and the material turn. In doing so, the book shows the importance of the literary to environmental thought and practice, elaborating how a supple understanding of cultural imagination and narrative logics can foster more robust accounts of global inequality and energize movements for justice and livable futures

    This study consists of two parts. The first part offers an overview of feminism’s theory of differences. The second part deals with the textual analysis of poems about ‘mothering’ by women from India, the Caribbean and Africa. Literary criticism has dealt with the representation of ‘mothering’ in prose texts. The exploration of lyrical texts has not yet come. Since the late 1970s, the acknowledgement of and the commitment to difference has been foundational for feminist theory and activism. This investigation promotes a differentiated, ‘locational’ feminism (Friedman). The comprehensive theoretical discussion of feminism’s different concepts of ‘gender’, ‘race’, ‘ethnicity’ and ‘mothering’ builds the foundation for the main part: the presentation and analysis of the poems. The issue of ‘mothering’ foregrounds the communicative aspect of women’s experience and wants to bridge the gap between theory and practice. This study, however, does not intend to specify ‘mothering’ as a universal and unique feminine characteristic. It underlines a metaphorical use and discusses the concepts of ‘nurturing’, ‘maternal practice’ and ‘social parenthood’. Regarding the extensive material, this study understands itself as an explorative not concluding investigation placed at the intersections of gender studies, postcolonial and classical literary studies. Most of all, it aims at initiating a dialogue and interchange between scholars and students in the Western and the ‘Third World’. ; univerlag.uni-goettingen.de/handle/3/isbn-978-3-940344-42-7

    AIDS, Ebola und abstürzende Computer; Fremdkörper, Parasiten und Sleeper; Bio- und Cyberterrorismus, Tierseuchen und zuletzt SARS: Viren zirkulieren derzeit in verschiedensten Bereichen. Dabei erweist sich die Metaphorik des Wortes als ebenso grenzgängerisch und mutierend wie die konkreten Objekte. Sie wird bemüht, um Bedrohungsszenarien und grenzsichernde Maßnahmen durchzusetzen und dient gleichzeitig als Modell für Widerstand und subversive Selbstinszenierungen. Kein Zufall, dass sich die jüngste Mediendebatte um terroristische Gewalt erneut in diesen Mustern verfangen hat. Der Band "VIRUS!" untersucht die Auswirkungen der Bilder von riskanten Kontakten, Ansteckung und Unterwanderung – nicht nur auf die Herstellung der "harten Fakten" in Naturwissenschaften und Technik, sondern auch auf die Gestaltung der globalen Weltordnung. ; www.transcript-verlag.de/978-3-89942-193-4/virus/

    This paper investigates recent revisionist representations of the Middle Passage, enacted in the visual arts, literature, and pop music. Most of the texts I explore can be subsumed under the heading 'Afrofuturism,' an artistic and theoretical movement which has become a vital part of contemporary black diasporic (pop) culture. Afrofuturist artists turn to black history in order to recreate it in a markedly fantastic mode. Mixing up the imagery of the Middle Passage with contemporary experiences of displacement, migration, and alienation, they turn the project of recuperating the past into a futuristic venture.

    This essay correlates a postcolonial and a postmodern novel, Ben Okri’s The Famished Road and Ishmael Reed’s Mumbo Jumbo, on the basis of their concern with issues of spirituality and (African) magic. Both novels aim at reconciling ‘ancient’ African knowledge and ‘modem’ Western achievements rather than casting these conditions as mutually exclusive or radically oppositional. This reconciliation of modernity and magic, tradition and technology, reflects a more pervasive shift in popular culture to spiritual issues since the 1960s which affected postmodern and postcolonial writing like­ wise. In view of pervasive experiences of alienation and fragmentation, these new spiritualities gain special significance as they promise new ways of meaning production and orientation.

    This paper is structured as a dialogue with a variety of texts. Through an interdisciplinary and intersectional approach, it will examine possible ways in which bodies are classified and framed -that is, constructed- as abnormal, deviant, and/or infirm, and their connection with categories such as exile, torture, and laceration. The intention is to rethink the meaning of the body and corporealities both as a space shaped by power and resistance. To think of these bodies, which appear to be defeated, as a space of firmness, obstinacy, rebellion, and resistance. The objective is to examine these constructions in order to generate new ways of thinking, looking, and feeling with and about the body in the reflective, creative, and meaning-making processes. As well as, on the basis of this research, to question the field of humanities and its methods of work. A genealogical methodology will be used to detect certain relevant points or events. Therefore, the aim here is not to draw a chronological line of events and reach a predefined objective, but to highlight (and reveal) moments, which are presented as an articulation of elements and which contain the capacity to provoke changes, reflections, and new researches. The authors to be discussed are: Cristina Peri Rosi: Cristina Peri Rosi, Txus García, Alejandra Pizarnik, Rita Segato, Juan Gelman and Jaques Derrida. ; El presente trabajo se articula partiendo de un diálogo con diversos textos. Mediante un enfoque interdisciplinario e interseccional se examinarán posibles formas en que los cuerpos son clasificados y definidos -es decir construidos- como anormales, desviados y/o enfermos y su vínculo con categorías como exilio, tortura y desgarramiento. La intención es repensar el sentido del cuerpo y las corporalidades no solo como un espacio normado por el poder sino también resistente. Pensar estos cuerpos, al parecer derrotados, como territorio de firmeza, obstinación, rebelión y resistencia. El objetivo es interrogar estas construcciones para generar nuevas ...

    White Teeth is a realistic and comic family saga about the intertwined lives of three families of different ethnic affiliations. The novel spans the twentieth century, connecting the colonial past in Jamaica and India with the postcolonial present in London. In this metahistorical novel, narrative comments, the characters’ unreliable versions of the past, and the twisted plots develop an ironic comedy of history characterized by repetition as a farce. Both first-generation and second-generation immigrants struggle for recognition. However, they develop different strategies in constructing their positions and identities through assimilation, transcultural hybridization, or the delimitation of their cultures in opposition to the permissive and capitalist Western society. The cosmopolitan and multicultural metropolis becomes the site of intercultural conflicts and transcultural blending. ; www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/9783110369489/html
