Abstract

Recounting past events is intrinsic to the storytelling function, as most fiction assumes the past tense as the natural means of narrating a story. Few narratives draw attention to this process, yet others make the act of remembering a primary part of the narrative situation. Ranging in its focus from poetry to novels, autobiographical memoirs and biopics - from the ostensibly fictional to the implicitly real - this volume discusses the extent to which such fictional acts of remembering are also acts of rewriting the past to suit the needs of the present. How seamlessly does experience yield t

Abstract

« L'Auteur » demeure une notion problématique qui émerge lentement dans l'histoire, qui reste indécise, recule, disparaît. Auctor, il est d'abord celui qui augmente, accroît, puis le garant de l'œuvre que le génie humain ajoute à la création. Il est aussi celui qui, par son œuvre, détient l'autorité. Aujourd'hui, la notion d'auteur reste mouvante et polysémique, incontournable et protéiforme, et c'est bien imprudemment qu'on avait annoncé naguère « la mort de l'auteur ». Reste toujours l'œuvre qui, en tant que création de forme originale, définit son auteur. C'est cette problématique de « l'auteur » de textes littéraires qui est soumise ici aux points de vue d'historiens de la littérature, de critiques littéraires, de juristes, d'une bibliothécaire, d'un éditeur et d'un psychanaliste.

Abstract

"Authors in Court : Scenes from the Theater of Copyright examines a series of famous English and American law cases in which a prominent author or artist sues or is sued for copyright infringement. Each chapter is an exploration of the drama of authorship as it has played out on the stage of the law. Some authors strut their roles. Napoleon Sarony, for example, the celebrated New York photographer whose landmark Supreme Court case established copyright protection for photography, was fond of marching along Broadway in the 1880s costumed in a red fez and high-top campaign boots. Others, the reclusive J. D. Salinger, for example, enact their dramas precisely by shrinking from attention. Through vivid portraits of these and other figures, including Daniel Defoe, Alexander Pope, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Ann Nichols, and Jeff Koons, Authors in Court provides a narrative of two mutually interacting institutions, authorship and the law, as they develop over the course of some three hundred years of cultural and legal history. In the process, the study exposes evolving tensions between gentility and commerce, gender and professionalism, and privacy and publicity. It demonstrates how the resolution of controversies involving allegations of infringement frequently depends upon informed literary and critical analysis, and that this in turn depends upon grappling with difficulties inherent in the very notion of intellectual property"--Publisher's information.

Abstract

Japanese writer Haruki Murakami has achieved incredible popularity in his native country and world-wide as well as rising critical acclaim. Murakami, in addition to receiving most of the major literary awards in Japan, has been nominated several times for the Nobel Prize. Yet, his relationship with the Japanese literary community proper (known as the Bundan) has not been a particularly friendly one. One of Murakami’s central and enduring themes is a persistent warning not to suppress our fundamental desires in favor of the demands of society at large. Murakami’s writing over his career reveals numerous recurring motifs, but his message has also evolved, creating a catalogue of works that reveals Murakami to be a challenging author. Many of those challenges lie in Murakami’s blurring of genre as well as his rich blending of Japanese and Western mythologies and styles—all while continuing to offer narratives that attract and captivate a wide range of readers. Murakami is, as Ōe Kenzaburō once contended, not a “Japanese writer” so much as a global one, and as such, he merits a central place in the classroom in order to confront readers and students, but to be challenged as well. Reading, teaching, and studying Murakami serves well the goal of rethinking this world. It will open new lines of inquiry into what constitutes national literatures, and how some authors, in the era of blurred national and cultural boundaries, seek now to transcend those boundaries and pursue a truly global mode of expression.

Abstract

This book breaks through formalistic traditions to propose a new generic structure analytical framework for academic writing. The integrated approach, taking lessons from cognitive linguistics and structuralism, offers a foundation for establishing research and pedagogy that can promote diversity and inclusion in academia. The simplicity of the flexible structure analytical model proposed by Sawaki enables the user to analyse diverse instances of genre. Further innovation is made in the analysis of generic structure components by integrating George Lakoff and Mark Johnson’s metaphor analysis method, so that the model can account for cultural and ideological patterns that structure our abstract thinking. Using these integrations, the author has established a structure analytical model that can take into account linguistic, cognitive, and pragmatic aspects of genre. Researchers in the fields of linguistics, discourse studies, cultural studies, education, and English for Academic Purposes will be able to use this model to identify whether an atypical instance in academic texts is a result of the writer’s individual failure or a failure to understand diversity in academic writing.

"Circulating Literacy" speaks to, and connects, the topics of rural studies, gender, literacy sponsorship and identity, and professionalization, arguing for value in the study of periodicals as education tools"--
