Abstract

In this new contribution to Yale University Press's Why X Matters series, a distinguished writer and scholar tackles central questions of the discipline of writing. Drawing on his own experience with mentors such as John Updike, John Gardner, and James Baldwin, and in turn having taught such rising stars as Jesmyn Ward, Delbanco looks in particular at questions of influence and the contradictory, simultaneous impulses toward imitation and originality. Part memoir, part literary history, and part analysis, this unique text will resonate with students, writers, writing teachers, and bibliophiles

Abstract

Um 1800 wird das Paradigma individueller Autorschaft dominant und trägt entscheidend zum Verständnis von Literatur als Kunst bei. Es lässt indes die häufig kollaborativen Praktiken des Verfassens von Texten in den Hintergrund treten. Dieses Buch rekonstruiert den kollektiven Charakter von Literatur.0In der Literatur zwischen 1770 und 1840 setzen sich wichtige Neukonzeptionen durch: Autoren werden zu individuellen Schöpfern, die Werke ihr geistiges Eigentum und beide somit aufs Engste verbunden. Dennoch werden die vielfältigen Formen der Zusammenarbeit beim Schreiben und Korrigieren sowie beim Überarbeiten und Publizieren weiter gepflegt.0Dieses Buch bezieht diese beiden Ebenen in einer historischen Praxeologie systematisch aufeinander und macht jene Kollektivität sichtbar, die sich als Spezifik der Literatur um 1800 verstehen lässt. Anhand literarischer, philosophischer und juristischer Texte von Goethe, Schiller und Herder über die Frühromantik bis zum Text des ersten Urheberrechts wird das Spannungsverhältnis von kollaborativer Verfasserschaft und individueller Autorschaft erkundet.

Abstract

"The second edition of this seminal text in the field of autoethnography considers the development and establishing of a fast-moving discipline since the publication of the first edition. Seven of the original handbook chapters are revised; the rest are original contributions and exemplars from some of the most established scholars in the field. A substantially revised structure makes the thematic organisation easier to follow. Combining established scholarship with innovative new contributions, Handbook of Autoethnography will be of interest to all those teaching and studying graduate and undergraduate courses in autoethnography and qualitative research"

Abstract

"Häufig gelten die Pastoralbriefe als beleg dafür, wie sich die paulinische Tradition nach dem Tod des Paulus verflacht und unter den Bedingungen der Welt eingerichtet habe. Die Forschung ging lange davon aus, dass die drei Schreiben aus dr Feder eines einzigen Paulusschülrers stammten, der Paulus aus dem Grabe rufen und in die eigene Zeit hinein sprechen lassen wollte. Dieser Kommentar zeigt: Das stimmt so nicht. Liest man die Pastoralbriefe als drei unabhängige Schreiben verschiedener Autoren, dann stellt man fest: Jeder einzelne Brief bringt das Erbe des Paulus auf seine Weise zur Geltung, doch alle tun dies angemessen - zu unterschiedlichen Zeiten und für unterschiedliche Zielgruppen. Die drei Schreiben fühlen sich der Paulustradition verpflichtet und zeigen zugleich: Wer diesem Erbe treu bleiben will, muss es verändern."--

Abstract

"Shortlisted for the William Atheling Jr Award for Criticism or Review Fiction plays a vital role in describing history and transmitting culture. How writers understand and use history can play an equally important role in how they navigate a novel. This book explores the nature of the author's relationship with history and fiction - often using writers' own words - as well as the role history plays in fiction. Focusing on genre fiction, this study considers key issues in the relationship between history and fiction, such as how writers contextualise the history they use in their fiction and how they incorporate historical research. The book also addresses the related topic of world building using history, discussing the connections between the science fiction writers' notion of world building and the scholarly understanding of story space and explaining the mechanics of constructing the world of the novel. This book places the writing of fiction into a wider framework of history and writing and encourages dialogue between writers and historians"--

Abstract

Travel reports have shaped the emergence of early U.S. culture and its "geographical imagination" (David Harvey). Framing the Nation, Claiming the Hemisphere examines the trans-national imagination in travel reports by American authors written between 1770 and 1830. Its range is from John and William Bartram's pre-revolutionary travelogues and Jonathan Carver's exploratory report on his journey in the Great Lakes region (1778), to Olaudah Equiano's The Interesting Narrative (1789), to early nineteenth-century reports, such as Anne Newport Royall's Sketches of History, Life, and Manners, in the United States (1826) and William Duane's A Visit to Colombia (1826). The chapters of the monograph concentrate on writing about journeys to the North American 'interior', the Caribbean, Latin America, and Africa. The primary sources were written between the beginning of the struggle against British rule, following the end of the French and Indian War, and the beginning of Andrew Jackson's presidency. The decades between 1770 and 1830 were times of shifting colonial boundaries, nation-building, and emergent discourses of collective identification in North America. The study reads travel writing in the context of the identity-generating discourses of nation-building, imperialism, anti-colonialism, and cosmopolitanism. In contrast to scholarship that engages a notion of Americanness based primarily on 'domestic' outlooks and experiences such as westward expansion (the frontier), the study highlights the function of categories such as the outside world, neighboring nations, and colonial empires in the emergence of U.S. national literary imagination. How does a shift in focus from a discursive 'domestication' of North American space to an interest in the Othering of what lies beyond national borders affect the understanding of the emergent national self? These are the kind of questions that begin by seeing the transnational as a fundamental element of national emergence. The monograph ultimately works to demonstrate how travel writing - with very few exceptions - supports and affirms processes of nation-building. Thus, the national narrative evolves from representations of contact scenarios in North America, in the transatlantic world, and around the globe. Without ignoring the roles of national mythology, the analysis concentrates on the continual co-existence of fluid notions of both 'home' and 'abroad' in times of shifting geographical borders. From such a perspective, travel writing not only contributes to shaping the national imagination and its conceptions of superiority but is also complicit in territorial expansionism and its subjugation of conquered peoples and their respective cultural histories. The present study emphasizes the significance of accounts of non-voluntary movement that embrace captivity narratives, slave narratives, sailor narratives, and reports by individuals who had access to neither publishing nor public culture. Accounts by such authors have often been published posthumously, promoted by printers, professional authors, or scholars. The central focus of analysis, however, examines how American self-fashioning and self-positioning in the world appear in the travel writing of the period. The trans-national imagination engages in a symbolic construction both of the collective national 'Self' and of the outside world as the nation's 'Other.' Travel writing functions as a tool in the nation-building process of the United States: a tool that reflects the mindset of the time, a tool that imagines a national community, and a tool that shapes the mindset of a people. The study maintains that travel writing, as a literary format, negotiates the triangular relationship between American post-revolutionary nation-building, continued European colonial expansion in the Americas, and the ongoing existence of indigenous nations. Underlying each of the readings is a common thesis that travel writing defines and negotiates borders, limits, and territorial expansion, and that it does so within the parameters of nation-building.
