The book centres around the topic of subjectivity and self-representation in contemporary Japanese literature and offers a new approach to the genre of shish?setsu (the I-novel).
It reassesses the works of Dazai Osamu, ?e Kenzabur?, End? Sh?saku, Murakami Haruki, and of the translingual writers - Mizumura Minae, Hideo Levy, Tawada Y?ko - to expose the wide-ranging treatment of personal experiences, and the intricate relations between the characters, the narrator, and the writing persona.
In the context of world fiction and autobiography theories, the book investigates literary and linguistic challenges in expressing the “self.” The shish?setsu are explored as stories of constructing identities between cultures, languages, literary canons, and testimonies of untranslatability of the self.

Описание: This volume draws on issues and cases from more than 20 countries to provide empirical evidence and theoretical insights into why discourse matters. Covering a wide range of concepts and topical issues, contributors from media studies, journalism, and linguistics address the following key questions: Why and how does discourse matter pertaining to identity in a mediatized world? Who makes discourse and identity matter, for what reason, in what way, and with what consequences? The volume provokes a new proposition that it is necessary to go beyond the safe havens of disciplinary strongholds with familiar terminology, methodology, and questions to address future inquiries into discourse and identity from a combination of linguistics and journalistic media studies.

This timely volume, inspired by the work of Umberto Eco, features applications of semiotic theories and methodological frameworks to a vast array of texts, genres and practices within contemporary semiosphere. Exploring the interplay of language, image and sound, contributors discuss the structural and functional properties of signs, along with motivations behind them and implications they have for the meaning-making process, identity, ideology, and the politics of representation.
The volume is an outcome of the SIVO «Signum-Idea-Verbum-Opus» project initiated by Umberto Eco’s keynote address during his visit at the University of ??d? in 2015. It is also a continuation of theoretical explorations which can be found in «Current Perspectives in Semiotics: Signs, Signification, and Communication», published simultaneously by Peter Lang.
Автор: Justyna Weronika Kasza Название: Hermeneutics of Evil in the Works of Endo Shusaku: Between Reading and Writing ISBN: 3034318391 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783034318396 Издательство: Peter Lang Рейтинг: Цена: 66430 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Evil is a salient component of End? Sh?saku’s writing. Questions surrounding evil haunted the writer as a student of French literature, having discovered the works of Western authors like Fran?ois Mauriac and Georges Bernanos. It is around the problem of evil that End? would create his most renowned novels and the cross-cultural dimensions of the questions he posed on the nature of evil would make him one of the most widely translated Japanese authors. This study offers new insight into the intellectual and artistic development of the author by focusing on a lesser known yet significant body of work: his essays and critical texts. The book is, on the one hand, an attempt to follow the path of thinking delineated by End? Sh?saku himself and, on the other, a methodological approach to literary studies based on the application of selected categories of Paul Ric?ur’s hermeneutics. Thus, the book accentuates the problem of subjectivity and personhood in End?’s works, ultimately exploring the question, Who is the one who asks about evil?
The book explores intra-EU mobility of Polish families as seen by the migrants themselves. The author analyses in what way mobility has influenced their choices regarding if, when and where to have and raise their children. She evaluates how the family dynamics have affected their decisions regarding long-term settlement. The analysis is based on narrative biographic interviews with Polish migrants in Great Britain and Italy. A recurring experience of migrants in the UK was that work and welfare conditions improved their families’ quality of life, allowed them to fulfil desired fertility, and offered better prospects for the future. The opinions on welfare conditions in Italy were more critical, however it also offered long-term stability to the ones who had been struggling to survive in Poland.

Автор: Kuzniar Weronika Название: Nation & Race ISBN: 1517253322 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781517253325 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 51550 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: Book number four, last in the "Black Wolf" tetralogy, is by far the largest of the set. It is astounding in its scope and thoroughness. Ms. Kuzniar surveys, analyzes, and synthesizes -- as in the first book -- an awesome array of both primary and secondary evidence to give this installment its scholastic character.Unlike most scholarly texts dealing with racial anthropology and race relations, this book is fun, factual, and readable. Ms. Kuzniar turns complicated arguments, ideas, and excerpts into layman's terminology, so that ALL readers can understand what the scholars have said, and are now saying, about Nazism and racism.This book is packed with facts and intriguing anecdotes to keep the reader interested. Also much appreciated is the author's ability to place Nazi Germany within the broader context of Western history, thought, and process, as opposed to portraying them as a "freakish" deviation, as is so common.The book ends with a fascinating recollection of the author's battles with "Axis History Forum" trolls and Norwich University censurers, so that her readers can appreciate not only what she went through personally to publish and promote this thesis, but the serious and growing assault on free speech and free thought in America today.On the Web: https: //blackwolftetralogy.wordpress.com

The book is an outcome of the SIVO Signum-Idea-Verbum-Opus project initiated by Umberto Eco’s keynote address during his visit at the University of ??d? in 2015.
