Felice D. Blake's Black Love, Black Hate: Intimate Antagonisms in African American Literature highlights the pervasive representations of intraracial deceptions, cruelties, and contempt in Black literature. Literary criticism has tended to focus on Black solidarity and the ways that a racially linked fate has compelled Black people to counter notions of Black inferiority with unified notions of community driven by political commitments to creative rehumanization and collective affirmation. Blake shows how fictional depictions of intraracial conflict perform necessary work within the Black community, raising questions about why racial unity is so often established from the top down and how loyalty to Blackness can be manipulated to reinforce deleterious forms of subordination to oppressive gender, sexual, and class norms.

Was der gerade im post-jugoslawischen Raum heute wieder diskursprägende 'nationale' Blick auf die Kultur verbirgt, das zeigt diese Untersuchung, in der kanonische Literatur aus dem 19. Jahrhundert auf ihre geopoetische Vielschichtigkeit hin betrachtet wird, wie sie für imperiale Räume typisch ist. Die imperialen Strukturen, wie sie den europäischen Raum politisch und kulturell über Jahrhunderte prägten, sind auch für die südslavischen Identitäts- und Gemeinschaftsentwürfe aus der Zeit der ,Entdeckung des Nationalen' von großer Bedeutung. Insbesondere die Literatur in ihrer Fähigkeit, Uneindeutiges, Überlagertes und Verschobenes mitzutransportieren, kann zeigen, wie sich das imperiale Moment vielschichtig und teilweise auch widersprüchlich in mentalen Karten, narrativen Konstruktionen von Eigen- und Fremdräumen, von Zentren und Peripherien, Grenz- und Kommunikationsräumen sowie von pluralen Identitäten niederschlägt. Eine geopoetische Betrachtung der Literaturen der Romantik jenseits des Nationalen eröffnet neue Perspektiven auf die jeweiligen nationalen Referenzepochen der heutigen Bosnier*innen, Kroat*innen, Montenegriner*innen, Serb*innen und Sloven*innen und legt die Grundlagen für eine transnational pluralistische Literaturgeschichtsschreibung im postjugoslawischen Raum.

La historia de las relaciones culturales entre Perú y España desde la época del Virreinato hasta la actualidad demuestra que el mar que separa los dos continentes no es tan ancho ni tan ajeno. La huella del Siglo de Oro o del Quijote en autores andinos contemporáneos, la presencia de Lorca en la literatura popular peruana, los avatares de Mario Vargas Llosa en la Península desde los años cincuenta, y de autores posteriores como Alfredo Bryce Echenique, Alonso Cueto, Fernando Iwasaki, Jorge Eduardo Benavides, etc., los paralelismos e influencias mutuas entre los poetas y músicos de las generaciones del fin del siglo XX a ambos lados del Atlántico, son algunos de los indicadores de una complicidad que no ha dejado de crecer con el paso del tiempo.

Russian-language edition: In Russia and America a perceived absence of literature gave rise to grandiose notions of literature's importance. This book examines how two traditions worked to refigure cultural lack, not by disputing it but by insisting on it, by representing the nation's (putative) cultural deficit as a moral and aesthetic advantage. Through a comparative study of Gogol and Hawthorne, this book examines parallels that seem particularly striking when we consider that these traditions had virtually no points of contact. Yet the unexpected parallels between these authors are the result of historical similarities: Russians and Americans felt obliged to develop a manifestly national literature ex nihilo, and to do so in an age when an unprecedented diversity of printed texts were circulating among an ever more heterogeneous reading public. Responding to these conditions, Gogol and Hawthorne articulated ideas that would prove influential for their nations' literary development: that is, despite the culture's thinness and deviation from European norms, it would soon produce works that would surpass European literature in significance.
