Описание: Across fiction, journalism, ethnography, and history, William T. Vollmann’s oeuvre—which includes a "prostitution trilogy," a septology (Seven Dreams) about encounters between first North Americans and European colonists, and a more than three-thousand-page philosophical treatise on violence—is ambitious as it is dazzling. Conversations with William T. Vollmann collects twenty-nine interviews, from early press coverage in Britain where his career first took flight, to in-depth visits to his writing and art studio in Sacramento, California. Throughout these conversations, Vollmann (b. 1959) speaks with candor and wit on such Subjects as grief and guilt in his work, his love of guns and his experience of war, the responsibilities of the artist as witness, the benefits of looking out into the world beyond the confines of one’s horizon, the limitations of what literature can achieve, and how we can speak to the future. Bringing to the fore several expanded, unpublished, and hard-to-find interviews, this volume offers a valuable Set of perspectives on a uniquely rewarding and sometimes overwhelming writer. On the road promoting his books or in a domestic Setting, Vollmann comes across as reflective and humane, humble in his craft despite deep dedication to his uncompromising vision, and ever armed with a spirit of mischief and capacity to shock and unSettle the reader.

Описание: The unchanging role of woman in early Gothic narratives parallels the status of American women, even after the Revolution. Twentieth century Gothic works offer inclusion to previously silent voices, including immigrant writers with their own cultural traditions. The 21st century unleashes the zombie horde - the latest incarnation of the voracious American.

Описание: Harry Potter has given the critical study of popular culture quite an extraordinary platform for exploring the nature of human identity across cultures and around the world. Potter Studies is rapidly developing into a vibrant, interdisciplinary collection of scholars from a wide range of university and non-university environments. This intersection, between the multidisciplinary study of identity and Harry Potter as a cultural artifact is where this collected volume finds its home.Issues surrounding race, class, gender, sexual orientation, and personal virtue, both in the wizarding world and in our own real world, are introduced and examined here. The ways in which these issues manifest in the practices of fans, fandom cultures, and real-world schools and businesses are also interrogated. Ultimately, this collection of essays should provide an extensive and varied array of meanings, contexts, and connections to and/or around identity issues for both scholars and non-scholars who can see our world mirrored in that of Harry Potter.

Описание: High, clear, autumn sky" is a phrase often used to symbolize peace in Korea. When it appears in the first sentence of Hwang Sunwon's famous story "Cranes," included in the first volume of Azalea, it implies a contrast between the tragedy of the Korean War and the tranquility of the sky. Last winter in South Korea air pollution often reached such dangerous levels that the government warned people to stay indoors. Last year, peace in Korea seemed imminent, thanks to cooperation between Trump and Kim, but now, with the subsequent failure of talks, that expectation has diminished. Still, perhaps because of that failure, it is very noisy in front of Seoul Station or at Gwanghwamun Square these days, where people gather every weekend to make their opinions known. This clamor can be seen as expressing Korea's disorder, or it can be seen as evidence of Korea's eagerness for change. Social energy in Korea is still very high. The same goes for Korean literature. Recently, the number of translated Korean literary works and the quality of those translations have increased greatly. The Tale of Hong Gildong , initially introduced in Azalea 6 (2013), was published as a Penguin Classic in 2016. It is welcome news that this year Dream of Nine Clouds , first excerpted in Azalea in 2014, has joined the same prestigious series. The Writer in Focus in the current issue of Azalea is Kim Kyung-uk. His works, known for being inspired by movies and popular culture, fluctuate between virtual worlds and the real world. How the media environment shapes and is shaped by the Internet-technology generation of Korea is the timely and compelling theme of his writing. Azalea 12 is rich in novels, and all five of these works will draw readers into the heart of current issues facing Korea. Three of these stories have won the GKL translation award. It is expected that the winners of this award will contribute greatly to the globalization of Korean literature in the near future.

Описание: As becomes more and more apparent, Korea and Korean cultural and literary practices have been open and engaged for centuries. Korea was part of the complicated, dangerous, and demanding world during the Koryo dynasty when Mongol conquest or the threat of it had unfurled from Korea to Vienna. (And as they say still in Vienna, Wien bleibt Wien; Vienna stays Vienna.) Peter Lee in this issue presents an extraordinarily full account of the cultural context of the Koryo songs that have come down to us, through a variety of travelways, to register their voices from a time when even in Korea there was not a cell phone to be found anywhere.What was Korea, Japan, or life like in the twentieth century under Japanese colonial rule? John Frankl has been pursuing that and other questions in his studies and translations of the proto-modernist writer/artist/flâneur Yi Sang. There is something poignantly as well as literally expressive to be found in the scene when Yi Sang the essayist discounts all famous sites in the Japanese capital city as he stands taking a satisfying break at a public toilet. In an old story, a policeman whacks a fellow on the shoulder who was urinating against an alley wall, and points at the sign. “See that? Sobyon kumji! Urination forbidden!” The old fellow laughs and points, reading the sign in the opposite order: “Chigom pyonso: Right now, a toilet.” In the same earthy and direct manner, Yi Sang the writer, artist, and individual reversed the cultural readings of Korea’s colonized state.The present gathering also includes examples of contemporary Korean fiction and poetry, and the reincarnation of Kubo the Novelist from the widely known 1934 fictional work “A Day in the Life of Kubo the Novelist,” but in a new form and magazine medium as Kubo the Film Critic, a witty out-take on Korea’s current-day film culture.To be able to tell the story, and sing or say the poem, are signs of a culture’s freedom, even within the close confines of political or cultural norms imposed from outside. For all its didactic purposes, the example of “The Sky,” the 1937 children’s story by Hyon Tok, still gives us voices and events that in turn afford a palpable sense of the life of that time. Just as Peter Lee has done with the details of Koryo life and culture that frame the Koryo songs, this issue’s other stories and poems likewise give the reader a lively sense of Korea’s 20th and 21st century literature and culture.The astonishingly vivid images in Choi Ho-Cheol’s cartoons deserve their own eloquent praise. One might note the vivid detail, the extraordinary depth, the range and active participation in life by all the figures in the pictures, the sweep of the landscape, from house porch to landmark skyscraper, and suggest that the same range, the same array of vivid details, the same sense of an exuberantly vital cultural community are to be found in all the work of our current issue. We owe thanks to the managing editor for once again assembling such a repast, as well as to the writers, translators, artists, and other participants in this lively issue.

Описание: Current studies in disciplinarity range widely across philosophical and literary contexts, though seldom have those studies engaged with the Victorian origins of modern disciplinarity. Victorian Culture and the Origin of Disciplines adds a crucial missing link in that history.
