Download or read book Samuel Beckett and the Politics of Aftermath written by James McNaughton and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-08-08 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Samuel Beckett and the Politics of Aftermath explores Beckett's literary responses to the political maelstroms of his formative and middle years: the Irish civil war and the crisis of commitment in 1930s Europe, the rise of fascism and the atrocities of World War II. Archive yields a Beckett who monitored propaganda in speeches and newspapers, and whose creative work engages with specific political strategies, rhetoric, and events. Finally, Beckett's political aesthetic sharpens into focus. Deep within form, Beckett models ominous historical developments as surely as he satirizes artistic and philosophical interpretations that overlook them. He burdens aesthetic production with guilt: imagination and language, theater and narrative, all parallel political techniques. Beckett comically embodies conservative religious and political doctrines; he plays Irish colonial history against contemporary European horrors; he examines aesthetic complicity in effecting atrocity and covering it up. This book offers insightful, original, and vivid readings of Beckett's work up to Three Novels and Endgame.

Download or read book Tense Future written by Paul K. Saint-Amour and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-02 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We know that trauma can leave syndromes in its wake. But can the anticipation of violence be a form of violence as well? Tense Future argues that it can-that twentieth-century war technologies and practices, particularly the aerial bombing of population centers, introduced non-combatants to a coercive and traumatizing expectation. During wartime, civilians braced for the next raid; during peacetime they braced for the next war. The pre-traumatic stress they experienced permeates the century's public debates and cultural works. In a series of groundbreaking readings, Saint-Amour illustrates how air war prophets theorized the wounding power of anticipation, how archive theory changed course in war's shadow, and how speculative fiction conjured visions of a civilizational collapse that would end literacy itself. And in this book's central chapters, he shows us how Ford Madox Ford, Robert Musil, James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, and other interwar modernist writers faced the memory of one war and the prospect of another, some by pitting their fictions' encyclopedic scale and formal turbulence against total war, others by conceding war's inevitability while refusing to long for a politically regressive peace. Total war: a conflict that exempts no one, disregarding any difference between soldier and civilian. Tense Future forever alters our understanding of the concept of total war by tracing its emergence during the First World War, its incubation in air power theory between the wars, and above all its profound partiality. For total war, during most of the twentieth century, meant conflict between imperial nation states; it did not include the violence those states routinely visited on colonial subjects during peacetime. Tacking back and forth between metropole and colony, between world war and police action, Saint-Amour describes the interwar refashioning of a world system of violence-production, one that remains largely intact in our own moment of perpetual interwar.

Download or read book Joyce and the Perverse Ideal written by David Cotter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-08-21 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Representations of masochism - both overt and oblique - permeate the work of James Joyce. While a number of critics have noted this, to date there has been no sustained and focused analysis of this trope in his writings. David Cotter argues that such an examination is key to understanding the meanings and messages of Joyce's work. Adding further dimensions to moral, political and aesthetic considerations in the novels and stories - particularly Ulysses - this book provides a comprehensive account of masochistic elements in James Joyce's work. Cotter draws upon psychoanalytic theory and social history to illustrate the subversive power of perversity in the literature of the modern period. This edition first Published in 2003. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.
Download or read book Irish Urban Fictions written by Maria Beville and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-01 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection is the first to examine how the city is written in modern Irish fiction. Focusing on the multi-faceted, layered, and ever-changing topography of the city in Irish writing, it brings together studies of Irish and Northern Irish fictions which contribute to a more complete picture of modern Irish literature and Irish urban cultural identities. It offers a critical introduction to the Irish city as it represented in fiction as a plural space to mirror the plurality of contemporary Irish identities north and south of the border. The chapters combine to provide a platform for new research in the field of Irish urban literary studies, including analyses of the fiction of authors including James Joyce, Roddy Doyle, Kate O’Brien, Hugo Hamilton, Kevin Barry, and Rosemary Jenkinson. An exciting and diverse range of fictions is introduced and examined with the aim of generating a cohesive perspective on Irish urban fictions and to stimulate further discussion in this emerging area.
Download or read book Victorian Literature in the Looking Glass of Psychology written by Melinda Gorgan and published by Ethics International Press. This book was released on 24-11-08 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Victorian Literature in the Looking Glass of Psychology is an interdisciplinary study that observes the changes in literary character construction throughout the Victorian Age. Pursuing the epistemologically altered character construction over the years from the beginning to the end of the Victorian era, the book covers a range of titles that demonstrate that the progress of psychology, was responsible for the way the workings of the mind were understood. It addresses the changes that characters underwent in the fifty years passing from Jane Eyre to Dracula. The influence of psychology on literature is tracked step by step through the Victorian age, starting with Charlotte Brontë's Bildungsroman and Dickens’s realism, and ending with the inward turn, the focus on the psychological mechanisms of the individual, in Henry James, Robert Louis Stevenson, Oscar Wilde, and Bram Stoker. For scholars interested in an up-to-date critical approach to Victorian literature, focusing on interdisciplinarity, discourse negotiations, and psychosynthetic literary analysis, the book will be a valuable reference source.
Download or read book Translation and Literary Studies written by Marella Feltrin-Morris and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By nature a transdisciplinary area of inquiry, translation lends itself to being investigated at its intersection with other fields of study. Translation and Literary Studies seeks to highlight the manifold connections between translation and notions of gender, dialectics, agency, philosophy and power. The volume also offers a timely homage to renowned translation theorist Marilyn Gaddis Rose, who was at the forefront of the group of scholars who initiated and helped to institutionalize translation studies. Inspired by Gaddis Rose’s work, and particularly by her concept of stereoscopic reading, the volume is dynamically complementary to the burgeoning contemporary field of global comparative literature, underscoring the diversity of critical literary thought and theory worldwide. Arranged thematically around questions of translation as literary and cultural criticism, as epistemology, and as poetics and politics, and dealing with works within and beyond the Western tradition, the essays in the volume illustrate the multi-voiced spectrum of literary translation studies today.
