Описание: The National Endowment for the Humanities has funded two Summer Institutes titled "Reconsidering Flannery O'Connor", which invited scholars to rethink approaches to Flannery O'Connor's work. Drawing largely on research that started as part of the 2014 NEH Institute, this collection shares its title and its mission. Featuring fourteen new essays, Reconsidering Flannery O'Connor disrupts a few commonplace assumptions of O'Connor studies while also circling back to some old questions that are due for new attention. The volume opens with "New Methodologies", which features theoretical approaches not typically associated with O'Connor's fiction in order to gain new insights into her work. The second section, "New Contexts", stretches expectations on literary genre, on popular archetypes in her stories, and on how we should interpret her work. The third section, lovingly called "Strange Bedfellows", puts O'Connor in dialogue with overlooked or neglected conversation partners, while the final section, "O'Connor's Legacy", reconsiders her personal views on creative writing and her wishes regarding the handling of her estate upon death. With these final essays, the collection comes full circle, attesting to the hazards that come from overly relying on O'Connor's interpretation of her own work but also from ignoring her views and desires. Through these reconsiderations, some of which draw on previously unpublished archival material, the collection attests to and promotes the vitality of scholarship on Flannery O'Connor.

Описание: Flannery O'Connor is one of America's most unique Southern authors. Shortly after she began her writing career she was diagnosed with lupus. Despite her illness, O'Connor authored more than two dozen short stories and two novels. Her highly regionalized Southern Gothic stories often involve grotesque characters.
Literature critic and theologian Timothy J. Basselin consults O'Connor's life and work to illustrate the profound connections existing between the theme of the grotesque and Christian theology. O'Connor's own disability, Basselin argues, inspired a theology that leads readers toward greater recognition of God's activity in a sinfully grotesque world. By combining disability studies, literary critique, and theological reflection, Basselin discovers a new vision for approaching the disabled, the grotesque, and the other in society. Flannery O'Connor reignites O'Connor's own critiques of the modern affinity for perfection, self-sufficiency, and a clear separation between "good" and "bad.

Описание: What is a "Catholic" novel? This book analyses the fiction of Graham Greene in a radically new manner, considering in depth its form and content. Resting, as they have done, on the oppositions between secularism and religion, Sampson challenges their distinctions, arguing that Greene has a dramatic contribution to add to their methodological premises. Chapters on Greene's four "Catholic" novels and two of his "post-Catholic" novels are complemented by fresh insight into the critical importance of his non-fiction. The study paints an image of an inviting yet beguilingly complex literary figure.

Автор: O`Donnell Angela Alaimo Название: Radical Ambivalence: Race in Flannery O`Connor ISBN: 0823287653 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780823287659 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 27590.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Radical Ambivalence: Race in Flannery O'Connor is the first book-length study of O'Connor's attitude towards race in her fiction and correspondence. It is also the first study to include controversial material from unpublished letters that reveals the complex and troubling nature of O'Connor's thoughts on the subject. O'Connor lived and did most of her writing in her native Georgia during the tumultuous years of the Civil Rights movement. In one of her letters, O'Connor frankly expresses her double-mindedness regarding the social and political upheaval taking place in the U.S. with regard to race: "I hope that to be of two minds about some things is not to be neutral." Examination of her correspondence demonstrates that though O'Connor likely subscribed to the idea of racial equality, she was wary of desegregation, fearing the erosion of Southern culture and the disappearance of the code of manners that governed the relationships between African Americans and whites. This double-mindedness also manifests itself in O'Connor's fiction. Drawing on critical whiteness studies, Chapter 1 interrogates the concepts of race and whiteness O'Connor inherited and analyzes the ways in which O'Connor critiques the unjust racial practices of the South in her stories and other writings yet unconsciously upholds them. Chapter 2 explores O'Connor's ambivalence with regard to contemporary politics, analyzes her use of derogatory language to describe African Americans, and assesses the inconsistencies in her discussion of race in the stories and letters in light of speech act-theory. Chapter 3 considers the influence of theology and Catholicism on O'Connor's attitudes, demonstrating that O'Connor's radically theological vision and formation in a segregated Church shaped her ideas about race. Chapter Four takes its cue from Toni Morrison's Playing in the Dark and examines the complex role played by "Africanist" presence, represented by powerful black bodies, in the construction of white consciousness in O'Connor's stories. Chapter Five explores the theme of thwarted communion between the races that preoccupies O'Connor in her fiction and correspondence. The study concludes that O'Connor's race-haunted writing serves as the literary incarnation of her uncertainty about the great question of her era and of her urgent need, despite considerable reluctance, to address the fraught relationship between the races.
