Abstract

The study develops a new theoretical approach to the relationship between two media (jazz music and writing) and demonstrates its explanatory power with the help of a rich sampling of jazz poems. Challenging the mimetic approach to intermediality, this book promotes a cognitive metaphor model that allows readers to discover the innovative ways poets translate "melody," "tempo," and other musical elements into figurative expressions.

Abstract

Dieses Buch untersucht, wie und unter welchen Bedingungen die 'Fremde' zunächst in einer konkreten Begegnung erfahren und anschließend schreibend und lesend konstruiert, also in Texten verfügbar gemacht und im Rezeptionsprozess erneut hergestellt wird. Dabei werden auch Fragen nach den Bedingungen, Spielräumen und Grenzen des Fremdverstehens reflektiert. Im Mittelpunkt der Untersuchung stehen exemplarisch deutschsprachige Texte über Japan, u. a. von Bernhard Kellermann, Max Dauthendey und Gerhard Roth. Herausgearbeitet und analysiert werden auf inhaltlicher, sprachlicher und formaler Ebene insbesondere die Strukturen und Tradierungen sowie die Musterbildungen, in denen sich die Konstruktionen der 'Fremde Japan' vollziehen. Einen ersten Schwerpunkt der Untersuchung bilden die japanbezogenen Werke Bernhard Kellermanns. Anhand der Textsorte Brief wird dann eine spezifische Form des Schreibens aus und über Japan genauer fokussiert. Die Untersuchung der Komponenten 'Lesen' und 'Schrift' als inhaltliche Elemente der Texte zeigt abschließend, inwiefern 'Lesen' als Metaphernkomplex und als Wahrnehmungshaltung die Grundfigur der Fremdbegegnung bildet, und wie die 'fremde Schrift' als 'unlesbar' konstruiert und funktionalisiert wird.

Abstract

This study documents the historical and religious meaning of battle death in the desert regions of India and Pakistan. It offers new insights into the religious symbolism underlying martial ideals and identity politics with an analysis of heroic and epic genres and the literary-historical processes that lead to the deification of warrior-heroes in South Asia. By describing the different degrees of narrative importance that poets attached to battle-death, the author suggests new ways of interpreting the region's warlike past.

Abstract

Hoe echt is de historische roman? In hoeverre geeft hij een beeld van het verleden? Kan dat wel in een fictionele tekst? Wat is trouwens ‘een beeld’ van het verleden? In welk verleden speelt de historische roman? Kunnen romangenres wel relevant van elkaar worden gescheiden? En die postmoderniteit, hoe zit die in de historische roman? Dit is een handboek-bij-uitstek voor al wie écht kennis wil maken met het genre historische roman, in zijn caleidoscopische verscheidenheid, voor wie wil weten wat –zin en onzin- commentatoren en critici hebben gezegd en voor wie een eigen geluid wil horen. Uiteraard is dit ook en aangewezen naslagwerk voor wie informatie wenst over een van de behandelde romans of de daarin optredende historische figuren.

Abstract

S’interrogeant sur une pratique à la fois littéraire et politique, les auteurs de cet ouvrage ont envisagé les différentes facettes de l’éloge adressé à un Prince, qu’il s’agisse d’un empereur romain ou d’un roi de France. Sont ainsi proposées, pour une période qui va de l’Antiquité au temps des Lumières, des réflexions sur les aspects théoriques du genre épidictique et ses textes fondateurs, ainsi que des synthèses sur le fonctionnement de l’éloge, sa pratique et son rôle dans la cité. Un fil directeur unit ces approches diverses : l’intérêt pour un fait politique et littéraire intemporel mais changeant, qui ouvre la voie à des interrogations sur la force de la rhétorique.

Abstract

Against the long-standing and prevalent belief that Mesopotamian Flood traditions came from very early time in Mesopotamian cultural history, this book argues that the traditions emerged relatively late in Sumerian traditions. Through a systematic examination of the relevant cuneiform sources Y.S. Chen charts the evolution of the Flood traditions.

Abstract

While many people see ‘home’ as the domestic sphere and place of belonging, it is hard to grasp its manifold implications, and even harder to provide a tidy definition of what it is. Over the past century, discussion of home and nation has been a highly complex matter, with broad political ramifications, including the realignment of nation-states and national boundaries. Against this backdrop, this book suggests that ‘home’ is constructed on the assumption that what it defines is constantly in flux and thus can never capture an objective perspective, an ultimate truth. Along these lines, Unreliable Truths offers a comparative literary approach to the construction of home and concomitant notions of uncertainty and unreliable narration in South Asian diasporic women’s literature from the UK, Australia, South Africa, the Caribbean, North America, and Canada. Writers discussed in detail include Feroza Jussawalla, Suneeta Peres da Costa, Meera Syal, Farida Karodia, Shani Mootoo, Shobha Dé, and Oonya Kempadoo. With its focus on transcultural homes, Unreliable Truths goes beyond discussions of diaspora from an established postcolonial point of view and contributes with its investigation of transcultural unreliable narration to the representation of a g/local South Asian diaspora.

Abstract

"Authors not only create artworks. In the process of creating, they simultaneously bring to life their author personae. Approaching this phenomenon from an interdisciplinary point of view, Sonja Longolius develops a concept of 'performative authorship' by examining different strategies of becoming an author. In regard to the notion of her concept, this work offers a critical and comparative analysis of the works of Paul Auster, Candice Breitz, Sophie Calle, and Jonathan Safran Foer. Specifically, Auster/Calle and Breitz/Foer form a generational pair of opposites, enabling a discussion of postmodern and post-postmodern artistic strategies of 'performative authorship'."--Publisher description.

Abstract

It has always been thought difficult, if not impossible, to define what the philosophy of Carlyle was. Ever since the publication of Sartor Resartus in 1833-1834, the view that Carlyle had a theistic conception of the universe has been defended as well as opposed. At a time, therefore, when Carlyle's work as a whole is being reappraised, his philosophy should first and foremost be dealt with. Carlyle's life-philosophy is based on the inner experience of a process of 'conversion', which set in with an incident that occurred to him at Leith Walk, Edinburgh. This study - which settles the

Abstract

This study describes in detail the development of Coleridge's attitude to nature as it is reflected in his poetry. It analyses the different stages of Coleridge's search for a meaningful relation to nature from an uncritical adoption of the eighteenth century conventions in his early poetry to a projectionist view in his poems of 1802. It offers challenging new readings of some of Coleridge's major poems like 'The Ancient Mariner' and 'Dejection: an Ode', and tries to rehabilitate some minor ones, like 'The Picture'. Attention is also paid to his relation with Wordsworth. It discusses in detai
