Sport literature is never just about sport. The genre’s potential to explore the human condition, including aspects of violence, gender, and the body, has sparked the interest of writers, readers, and scholars. Over the last decade, a proliferation of sport literature courses across the continent is evidence of the sophisticated and evolving body of work developing in this area. Writing the Body in Motion offers introductory essays on the most commonly taught Canadian sport literature texts. The contributions sketch the state of current scholarship, highlight recurring themes and patterns, and offer close readings of key works. Organized chronologically by source text, ranging from Shoeless Joe (1982) to Indian Horse (2012), the essays offer a variety of ways to read, consider, teach, and write about sport literature.
This anthology is an exciting new collection of Korean fiction in translation from the early years of the twentieth century that demonstrate the political and ideological divides that Koreans experienced during this time.

Автор: Jeff E. Long Название: Stories from the Samurai Fringe: Hayashi Fusao`s Proletarian Short Stories and the Turn to Ultranationalism in Early Showa Japan ISBN: 1939161908 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781939161901 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 26710.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: A cultural history of writer and literary critic Hayashi Fusao's (1903-1975) tenkō experience, Stories from the Samurai Fringe examines Hayashi's tenkō (ideological conversion) through a close reading of his proletarian short stories. Tracing Hayashi's move from "romanticizing" to "defining" to "remembering" the proletarian literature movement and its participants in his proletarian fiction, this study argues for a far more personal and political rationale for Hayashi's subsequent turn to ultranationalism. Stories from the Samurai Fringe concludes with a consideration of Hayashi's tenkō experience, first, within the historiographical context of the early Shōwa years (1926-1937), and then within the trans-war setting of Hayashi's reemergence as a proponent of wartime nationalism.
