Abstract

This book proposes a critical reevaluation of antipoetry, nueva canción, and third cinema in relation to decolonial theory and contemporary aesthetic inquiries. A prime objective of the book as a whole is to bring these separate art forms into dialogue with each as collectively contributing to an archive of decolonial art forms.

The absent man : the narrative craft of Charles W. Chesnutt

Abstract

In The Absent Man, Charles Duncan attributes Chesnutt's uneasy position to a remarkable narrative subtlety that shields Chesnutt's personal views from the reader. "Her Virginia Mammy," for example, might initially be read as a sentimental love story or as an endorsement of miscegenation, but it is also an incisive satire of white readers and their complacent views on race identity. In The Conjure Woman Chesnutt divides the narrative duties between a white businessman and an ex-slave to generate a vibrant and convincing cultural dialogue. The first book-length study to explore the impact of Charles Chesnutt's sophisticated, innovative narrative, The Absent Man will provoke renewed discussion and appreciation of his work as a source of today's potent tradition of African-American fiction.

Abstract

The British Aesthetic Tradition: From Shaftesbury to Wittgenstein is the first single volume to offer readers a comprehensive and systematic history of aesthetics in Britain from its inception in the early eighteenth century to major developments in Britain and beyond in the late twentieth century. The book consists of an introduction and eight chapters, and is divided into three parts. The first part, The Age of Taste, covers the eighteenth-century approaches of internal sense theorists, imagination theorists and associationists. The second, The Age of Romanticism, takes readers from debates over the picturesque through British Romanticism to late Victorian criticism. The third, The Age of Analysis, covers early twentieth-century theories of Formalism and Expressionism to conclude with Wittgenstein and a number of views inspired by his thought.
