Springer Nature Switzerland AG Life Writing in the Posthuman Anthropocene
Book SynopsisLife Writing in the Posthuman Anthropocene is a timely collection of insightful contributions that negotiate how the genre of life writing, traditionally tied to the human perspective and thus anthropocentric qua definition, can provide adequate perspectives for an age of ecological disasters and global climate change. The volume’s eight chapters illustrate the aptness of life writing and life writing studies to critically reevaluate the role of “the human” vis-à-vis non-human others while remaining mindful of persisting inequalities between humans regarding who causes and who suffers damage in the Anthropocene age. The authors in this collection not only expand the toolbox of life writing studies by engaging with critical insights from the fields of posthumanism and ecocriticism, but, in turn, also enrich those fields by offering unique approaches to contemplate the responsibility of humans for as well as their relational existence in the posthuman Anthropocene.Trade Review“Life Writing in the Posthuman Anthropocene is a down-to-earth (quite literally) posthumanist account that substitutes speculative futurism for a much-needed socioecological sensitivity. Students of the aging process would be inspired by the ways in which their object is put into perspective … . The book would also benefit anyone interested in the intersection between environmental and biographical studies … .” (João Pedro Martinez Pinheiro, Anthropology & Aging, Vol. 44 (1), 2023)Table of Contents1.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Reformation Hermeneutics and Literary Language in
Book SynopsisThe expressive and literary capacities of post-Reformation English were largely shaped in response to the Bible. Faith in the Language examines the convergence of biblical interpretation and English literature, from William Tyndale to John Donne, and argues that the groundwork for a newly authoritative literary tradition in early modern England is laid in the discourse of biblical hermeneutics. The period 1525-1611 witnessed a proliferation of English biblical versions, provoking a century-long debate about how and whether the Bible should be rendered in English. These public, indeed institutional accounts of biblical English changed the language: questions about the relation between Scripture and exegetical tradition that shaped post-Reformation hermeneutics bore strange fruit in secular literature that defined itself through varying forms of autonomy vis-a-vis prior tradition.Table of ContentsChapter 1: Introduction: Reformation Hermeneutics and Literary Language in Early Modern England.- Part I: Reformation Hermeneutics and the Meaning of English.- Chapter 2: Biblical Authority and the Meaning of English in the More-Tyndale Polemics.- Chapter 3: The Roman Inkhorn: Literary and Religious Resistance to Latinism in the English Renaissance.- Part II: Reformation Hermeneutics and Sidneian Poiesis.- Chapter 4: Biblical Hermeneutics and Poiesis in Philip Sidney’s Apology and the Sidney Psalter.- Part III: Reformation Hermeneutics and Post-Petrarchan Poetics.- Chapter 5: Tradition and Tautology in Shakespeare’s Sonnets.- Chapter 6: Tradition and Invention in the Songs and Sonets and Sermons of John Donne.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Writing Ocean Worlds: Indian Ocean Fiction in
Book SynopsisThis book explores the Indian Ocean world as it is produced by colonial and postcolonial fiction in English. It analyses the work of three contemporary authors who write the Indian Ocean as a region and world—Amitav Ghosh, Abdulrazak Gurnah, and Lindsey Collen—alongside maritime-imperial precursor Joseph Conrad. If postcolonial literatures are sometimes read as national allegories, this book presents an account of a different and significant strand of postcolonial fiction whose geography, in contrast, is coastal and transoceanic. This work imaginatively links east Africa, south Asia and the Arab world via a network of south-south connections that precedes and survives European imperialism. The novels and stories provide a vivid, storied sense of place on both a local and an oceanic scale, and in so doing remap the world as having its centre in the ocean and the south.

Springer International Publishing AG Writing the Multicultural Experience
Book SynopsisThis textbook takes a new approach to teaching creative writing that centers the concerns of multicultural students. It focuses on the experiences of those who wish to write through their diverse identities, including ethnic, cultural, racial, national, regional, and international identity as well as gender identity, sexual preference, class position, and disability. Combining the study of culturally diverse literature with the process of writing, students are encouraged to engage with various texts and to use them to inspire their own work. Organized around a series of writing prompts and discussions of literary readings that address identity, place, perception, family, community, encounters, inheritance, and resistance, this book offers both writers and teachers a way to engage with the practice of writing from a multicultural perspective.Table of ContentsA DIVERSE APPROACH TO TEACHING CREATIVE WRITING How to Use This Book FOR TEACHERS: DESIGNING THE COURSE Creating the Classroom Class Size Class Level Confidentiality Workshop Style Reading Work Aloud Literature Discussion Literary Papers Creative Prompts Writing, Reading, and Responding In-class Writing Prompts Out of Class Writing and Reading in Class Out of Class Writing and Responding Portfolios Revisions Revision Notes Reflection Statement FOR STUDENTS AND TEACHERS: READINGS AND PROMPTS Time And Place And Ritual Introductory Material Identity Write About Your Name Write About Hair Write About Clothes Write About Physical Appearance Write About Food Write About Language Place Write About Home Write About Departure Write About the Loss of Place Write About Feeling Trapped Write About a Landscape Write About an Airport Perception Write About Being Misperceived Write About Stereotypes Write About a Political Event That Impacted You Write About Rejection Write About Hiding Yourself Write About Code Switching Family Write About Parent-Child Relationships Write About Parental Expectations Write About an Older Relative Write About the Loss of Someone Connected to Your Culture Write About Forbidden Relationships Write About Romantic Relationships Community Write About a Communal Cultural Experience Write About a Neighborhood Write About a School Experience Write About a Holiday Write About Class Position and Cultural Identity Write About Music Encounters Write About an Encounter with Someone of a Different Culture Write About an Interaction that Shifted Your Sense of Identity Write About Explaining Your Culture Write about Microaggressions Write an Argument in Dialogue Focusing on Culture Write About Travel Inheritance Write About the First Stories You Were Told Write About Your Origins Write About Returning to Homeland Write about Superstitions Write From a Photograph or a Series of Photographs Write a Letter/Poem Addressed to Children Resistance Write About Obstacles/Limitations/Restrictions Write About an Act of Resistance Write About an Object You’ve Held Onto Write About a Secret Write about Movement Write In Multiple Languages Self-Designed Assignment Approaches Write From Anger Write From Imagination Write From Humor Experiments/Innovations Form /Structure Narrative Perspective Main Characters Poetry and Prose Text and Visual Reflection: A Writer’s Identity WRITERS AND TEACHERS Chrystos: If Education Is Not Multicultural, It Isn't Education Susan Muaddi Darraj: The Curriculum: How I Learned to Be a Writer Balli Kaur Jaswal: Imaginary Homelands and Moveable Feasts: An Indian Diaspora Woman Writer’s Perspective David Mura: Questions of Race & Audience for BIPOC Writers Khaled Mattawa: The Eternal Gain that is Translation Rebecca Balcárcel: Loosening the Collars Lisa Suhair Majaj: A Mapmaker’s Journey T.J.

Springer International Publishing AG The Medial Afterlives of H.P. Lovecraft: Comic,
Book SynopsisMedial Afterlives of H.P. Lovecraft brings together essays on the theory and practice of adapting H.P. Lovecraft’s fiction and the Lovecraftian. It draws on recent adaptation theory as well as broader discourses around media affordances to give an overview over the presence of Lovecraft in contemporary media as well as the importance of contemporary media in shaping what we take Lovecraft’s legacy to be. Discussing a wide array of medial forms, from film and TV to comics, podcasts, and video and board games, and bringing together an international group of scholars, the volume analyzes individual instances of adaptation as well as the larger concern of what it is possible to learn about adaptation from the example of H.P. Lovecraft, and how we construct Lovecraft and the Lovecraftian today in adaptation. Medial Afterlives of H.P. Lovecraft is focused on an academic audience, but it will nonetheless hold interest for all readers interested in Lovecraft today.Table of ContentsPart 1.

Springer International Publishing AG The Famine Diaspora and Irish American Women's
Book SynopsisThe Famine Diaspora and Irish American Women’s Writing considers the works of eleven North American female authors who wrote for or descended from the Irish Famine generation: Anna Dorsey, Christine Faber, Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, Mother Jones, Kate Kennedy, Margaret Dixon McDougall, Mary Meaney, Alice Nolan, Fanny Parnell, Mary Anne Sadlier, and Elizabeth Hely Walshe. This collection examines the ways the writings of these women contributed significantly to the construction of Irish North-American identities, and played a crucial role in the dissemination of Famine memories transgenerationally as well as transnationally. The included annotated excerpts from these women writers’ works and the accompanying essays by prominent international scholars offer insights on the sociopolitical position of the Irish in North America, their connections with the homeland, women’s activities in transnational (often Catholic) publishing networks and women writers’ mediation of Ireland’s cultural heritage. Furthermore, the volume illustrates the generic variety of Irish American women’s writing of the Famine generation, which comprises political treatises, novels, short stories and poetry, and bears witness to these female authors’ profound engagement with political and social issues, such as the conditions of the poor and woman’s vote. Table of ContentsSection I: Irish American Women’s Activism (1880-1920).- 1. Fanny Parnell: The Songstress of the Land League.- 2. Mother Jones, Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, and Famine Memory.- 3.

De Gruyter Wordplay and Metalinguistic / Metadiscursive
Book SynopsisWordplay can be seen as a genuine interface phenomenon. It can be found both in everyday communication and in literary texts, and it can fulfil a range of functions – it may be entertaining and comical, it may be used to conceal taboo, and it may influence the way in which the speaker’s character is perceived. Moreover, wordplay also reflects on language and communication: it reveals surprising alternative readings, and emphasizes the phonetic similarity of linguistic signs that also points towards relations on the level of content. Wordplay unravels characteristics of literary language in everyday communication and opens up the possibility to analyze literary texts from a linguistic perspective. The first two volumes of the series The Dynamics of Wordplay therefore aim at bringing together contributions from linguistics and literary studies, focusing on theoretical issues such as basic techniques of wordplay, and its relationship to genres and discourse traditions. These issues are complemented by a series of case studies on the use of wordplay in individual authors and specific historical contexts. The contributions offer a fresh look on the multifaceted dynamics of wordplay in different communicative settings.

De Gruyter Intention and Interpretation: A Short History
Book SynopsisIntention plays a complex role in human utterances. The interpretation of literary texts is a strong case in point: for about two hundred years there have been conflicting views about whether, and how much, authorial intention should matter when professional readers interpret literature. These debates grew increasingly fierce during the post-World War II period, the landmarks of which were the notions of intentional fallacy and the death of the author. Seventy-odd years later, there is still no consensus in sight. What has always been neglected in the debates around authorial intention, however, is a reflection on the historical dimension of the debate and how historically bound each of the theoretical positions in the debate were. This book focusses precisely on the historical dimension of authorial intention, providing a systematic historical reconstruction of the importance ascribed to it in literary texts from Classical Greece to the present day, and including a chapter on authorial intention in jurisdiction and legal interpretation from a historical perspective. The book reconstructs a typology of the most important concepts of intention in interpretation for diachronic and synchronic use. At the same time it offers insights from a field-theoretical perspective into how literary studies as a discipline works over time and how notions of intention and interpretation help create forms of literary knowledge.

Springer International Publishing AG The BBC and the Development of Anglophone
Book SynopsisThis book is the first to analyse how BBC radio presented Anglophone Caribbean literature and in turn aided and influenced the shape of imaginative writing in the region. Glyne A. Griffith examines Caribbean Voices broadcasts to the region over a fifteen-year period and reveals that though the program’s funding was colonial in orientation, the content and form were antithetical to the very colonial enterprise that had brought the program into existence. Part literary history and part literary biography, this study fills a gap in the narrative of the region’s literary history.

Springer International Publishing AG The English Countryside: Representations, Identities, Mutations
Book SynopsisThis collection of essays examines representations of the English countryside and its mutations, and what they reveal about a nation’s, communities’ or individuals’ search for identity – and fear of losing it. Based on a pluridisciplinary approach and a variety of media, this book challenges the view that the English countryside is an apolitical space characterised by permanence and lack of conflict. It analyses how the pastoral motif is actually subverted to explore liminal spaces and temporalities. The authors deconstruct the “rural idyll” myth to show how it plays a distinctive and yet ambiguous part in defining Englishness/Britishness. A must read for both scholars and students interested in British rural and cultural history, media and literature.Table of Contents1. Introduction - David Haigron.- 2.

ibidem-Verlag, Jessica Haunschild u Christian Schon ′There It Is′ – Narratives of the Vietnam War
Book SynopsisThis book provides a critical survey of the literature on the Vietnam War and is intended both for academic and general readers. Earlier works of this kind constantly recycled criticism of a half-dozen of the same works. In this study, the aim was to discuss a much greater number of works, including a few that have never been discussed. To appeal to non-academic readers, Lit-Crit jargon was kept to a minimum, and parallels with earlier works of war literature, especially those of the two world wars, were established.Trade Review"The book 'There it is': Narratives of the Vietnam War is a fine result of years of research and dedication. Co-editor of works such as Literatura e guerra [Literature and War] (2010; Ed. UFMG); Revisiting 20th Century Wars: New Readings of Modern Armed Conflicts in Literature and Image Media (2012; ibidem); and War and Literature: Looking Back on 20th Century Armed Conflicts (2014; ibidem), Tom Burns, one of our main researchers in the field of studies of the relation of literature and war, gives the reader a competent critical study on the Vietnam War (1955-1975) through an analysis of a large number of both fictional and non-fictional narratives, including autobiographical works. This book is both a broad and detailed study of works in English and offers the reader the literary wealth of one of the principal armed conflicts of the 20th century." -Professor Elcio Cornelsen, Federal University of Minas GeraisTable of ContentsAcknowledgments; Introduction; Early Adventurers; Fictional History & Historical Fiction: The Fall of Diem; Advisors & Friendlies: Pro-War Novels; Advisors & Friendlies II: Ambivalent Warriors; Soldiers & Civilians; Combat Memoirs; Allegory; Combat Realism; Combat vs. Ideology; Deviations; Inventions: Fantasy & Metafiction; Correspondents; Ordinary People: Oral Memoirs; Vets: The Return of the Repressed; Bibliography; Primary Works; Secondary Works.

Book SynopsisDie vorliegende Studie stellt einen Versuch dar, Diskurse und Gedächtnismodi herauszuarbeiten, die der neueren Diskussion zur Kolonisation zugrunde liegen. Die Studie beantwortet die Frage, wie Kolonialismus in zeitgenössischen Erzählungen zur Kolonialzeit erinnert wird, d.h. in welchen Begriffen Literatur Bezug auf den Kolonialismus nimmt und zu welchem Zweck. Aus dem komparatistischen Vergleich geht hervor, dass die meisten Narrative, ob afrikanische oder europäische, zwar einen postkolonialen Blick auf die koloniale Vergangenheit (ent)werfen, der diskursive Standpunkt der Erzählungen aber weitgehend von dem historisch-kulturellen Gefüge abhängt, aus dem die Texte und deren Autor:innen stammen, wobei einzelne Texte sich über dieses gedächtniskulturelle Paradigma hinwegsetzen.The study represents an attempt to work out the discourses and modes of remembrance that underlie the recent discussion on colonization. It deals with the question of how colonialism is remembere

Book SynopsisThat the Internet is noonger a free and independent space is stating the obvious. But the repercussions, on the individual as well as society, are more serious than one can imagine.

In what is a close and upfront examination of man''s behaviour online, this book shows how the dark side of the Internet has not only got us all in its web, it has also fanned our dark side. From trolling, to body shaming to its destructive effects on our cognitive skills and relationships, the Internet has taken on ourives, making it a new age Frankenstein, beyond the control of existingaws and rules. Slave Technology is a must-read in the times of post-truth.

Underlining the ethico-political strand, Posthumanism: Politics of Subjectivity demonstrates how to imagine a posthuman socio-political subject that renounces claims to species supremacy and anthropocentric privilege via the categories of animality, object, technology and ecology.
