Taylor & Francis Genre
Book SynopsisThis second edition of John Frowâs Genre offers a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the area. Genre is a key means by which we categorize the many forms of literature and culture, but it is also much more than that: in talk and writing, in music and images, in film and television, genres actively generate and shape our knowledge of the world. Understanding genre as a dynamic process rather than a set of stable rules, this book explores: the relation of simple to complex genres the history of literary genre in theory the generic organisation of implied meanings the structuring of interpretation by genre the uses of genre in teaching. John Frowâs lucid exploration of this fascinating concept has become essential reading for students of literary and cultural studies, and the second edition expands on the original to take account of recent debates in genre theory and the emergence of digital genres.Table of ContentsIntroduction 1 Approaching genre Preliminary questions The situation of genre The performance of genre Classes and members 2 Simple and complex genres Simple forms: the riddle Generic complexity Citation and intertextuality 3 Literary genre theory Genre as taxonomy Presentational modes: Plato and Aristotle The natural forms Genres and modes Poetics and history 4 Implication and relevance The structural dimensions of genre Implication and presupposition Genre as schema Generic truths: Philosophy Generic truths: History 5 Genre and interpretation Reading genre The frame Generic cues Figures of genre 6 System and history Genre systems Synchrony and diachrony Genrification Emergent Genres Teaching genre

Taylor & Francis English with an Accent
Book SynopsisSince its original publication in 1997, English with an Accent has inspired generations of scholars to investigate linguistic discrimination, social categorization, social structures, and power. This new edition is an attempt to retain the spirit of the original while enriching and expanding it to reflect the greater understanding of linguistic discrimination that it has helped create. This third edition has been substantially reworked to include: An updated concept of social categories, how they are constructed in interaction, and how they can be invoked and perceived through linguistic cues or language ideologies Refreshed accounts of the countless social and structural factors that go into linguistic discrimination Expanded attention to specific linguistic structures, language groups, and social domains that go beyond those provided in earlier editions New dedicated chapter on American Sign LTrade ReviewThe third edition of English with an Accent presents an extraordinary new resource created from a time-honored classic, taking the pieces of the original and elegantly intersecting them with 21st-century language practice. The original material is still there; however, it has been rewoven to include a broader semiotic realm, a deeper representation of language variation across multiple modalities, a richer set of theoretical and methodological approaches, and a new coherence rooted in the fact that language variation is simultaneously arbitrary and powerfully meaningful. As such, this edition sets a new standard for the presentation and discussion of linguistic discrimination. Robin Queen, University of Michigan With crisp prose and cogent arguments, the authors recreate the eye-opening impact of English with an Accent in light of recent movements for social justice, crafting activities, exercises, and discussion questions that directly help readers engage in questions of how language socialization works and how it affects our personal lives as well as our society’s future. Kirk Hazen, West Virginia University Be prepared to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. This edition of English with an Accent hits home and will keep you engaged and engrossed in issues that society too often doesn’t understand in any meaningful and life-altering way. Well, the road to enlightenment is clearly provided here. Sonja Lanehart, University of Arizona Since its first publication, English with An Accent has inspired conversations that grapple with and challenge the ways people use language to recognize, categorize, and rank social differences. This latest version builds on this important foundation while providing significant updates to the coverage of topics and theory. Written in an engaging, provocative style, this new edition by Barrett, Cramer and McGowan is comprehensive and accessible. It will leave readers with greater insight into and critical awareness of the subtle role language variation plays in the maintenance of power today and the marginalization and on-going subordination of particular social groups, in the U.S. and elsewhere.

Taylor & Francis Discourse Analysis
Book SynopsisDiscourse Analysis provides an essential and practical introduction for students studying modules on the analysis of language in use. It explores the ways in which language is used and organised in written and spoken texts to generate meanings and takes into account the social contexts of production, and the social roles and identities of those involved. Investigating the ways in which language varies according to subject, social setting, and communicative purpose, this book examines various forms of speaking and writing, including casual conversation, speeches, parliamentary debate, computer-mediated communication, and mass media articles. It discusses topics including how we convey more than we actually say or write, the role of politeness and impoliteness in communication, and what makes texts cohesive and coherent. It also shows how particular aspects of discourse analysis can be assisted by corpus methods and tools.Taking students through a step-by-step gTable of

Taylor & Francis British Womens Travel to Greece 18401914
Beginning with the publication of the first Murray guidebook to Greece in 1840 and ending with Virginia Woolf''s journey to Athens, this book offers a genealogy of British women''s travel literature about Greece. Churnjeet Mahn recounts the women''s first-hand experiences of the sites and sights of antiquity, analyzing travel accounts by archaeologists, ethnographers, journalists, and tourists to chart women''s renderings of Modern Greece through a series of discursive lenses. Mahn''s offers insights into the importance of the Murray and Baedeker guidebooks; how knowledge of Greece and Classical Studies were used to justify colonial rule of India at the same time that Agnes Smith Lewis and Jane Ellen Harrison used Greece as a symbol of women''s emancipation; British women''s production of the first anthropological accounts of Modern Greece; and fin-de-siècle women who asserted their right to see and claim antiquity at the same time that the safety of the independent lady traveler was b

Taylor & Francis The Life and Works of Augusta Jane Evans Wilson
Book SynopsisOver the course of her 57-year career, Augusta Jane Evans Wilson published nine best-selling novels, but her significant contributions to American literature have until recently gone largely unrecognized. Brenda Ayres, in her long overdue critical biography of the novelist once referred to as the ''first Southern woman to enter the field of American letters,'' credits the importance of Wilson''s novels for their portrait of nineteenth-century America. As Ayres reminds us, the nineteenth-century American book market was dominated by women writers and women readers, a fact still to some extent obscured by the make-up of the literary canon. In placing Wilson''s novels firmly within their historical context, Ayres commemorates Wilson as both a storyteller and maker of American history. Proceeding chronologically, Ayres devotes a chapter to each of Wilson''s novels, showing how her views on Catholicism, the South, the Civil War, male authority, domesticity, Reconstruction, and race were botTable of ContentsContents: Preface; Introduction: the scented camellia: Augusta Jane Evans Wilson (1835-1909); 'A tale of the Alamo': Augusta Jane Evans (1835-1849) and Inez; From Marah to Beulah: Augusta Jane Evans (1850-1859) and Beulah; 'Niobe of nations': Augusta Jane Evans (1860-1863) and Macaria; St Edna: Augusta Jane Evans (1864-1866) and St Elmo; 'Until death us do part': Augusta Jane Evans Wilson (1867-1869) and Vashti; 'The barter of tears and smiles' Augusta Jane Evans Wilson (1870-1875) and Infelice; The 'brooding silence': Augusta Jane Evans Wilson (1876-1887) and At the Mercy of Tiberius; 'Venus in blue stockings: Augusta Jane Evans Wilson and intellectualism; Sheredity: Augusta Jane Evans Wilson (1888-1902) and A Speckled Bird; 'J'y suis, j'y reste' Augusta Jane Evans Wilson (1903-1909) and Devota; Bibliography; Index.

Taylor & Francis The Routledge Handbook to the Ghost Story
Book SynopsisThe Handbook to the Ghost Story sets out to survey and significantly extend a new field of criticism which has been taking shape over recent years, centring on the ghost story and bringing together a vast range of interpretive methods and theoretical perspectives. The main task of the volume is to properly situate the genre within historical and contemporary literary cultures across the globe, and to explore its significance within wider literary contexts as well as those of the supernatural. The Handbook offers the most significant contribution to this new critical field to date, assembling some of its leading scholars to examine the key contexts and issues required for understanding the emergence and development of the ghost story.Trade Review"An excellent introduction and overview of critical approaches to a genre often as odd as its spectral denizens.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Reflexivity in Language and Intercultural
Book SynopsisWith the impact of accelerated globalization, digital technologies, mobility, and migration, the fields of Applied Linguistics, Language, and Intercultural Education have been shifting. One shift in need of further exploration is that of systematic and coherent reflexivity in researching language and culture. This unique and timely book thus examines the significance of reflexivity as an integral process, particularly when researching the multifaceted notions of multilingualism and interculturality in education. It also contributes to current critical approaches to representations of languages and cultures in identity politics. As such, the authors offer innovative ways of engaging with reflexivity in teaching, learning, and research through multimodal and complex ways. The chapters span a diverse range of educational settings in Asia, Australia, Europe, and North America.Trade Review"The collection of chapters is valuable particularly because it emphasises that reflexivity should be seen as a dynamic and evolving notion that is applicable to all those involved in research and pedagogy and that can be applied positively to equalise power relationships and lead to greater centrality and legitimacy of the research participant or learner." - John Kullman, School of Language Studies and Applied Linguistics, Canterbury Christ Church University, EnglandTable of ContentsIntroduction Julie S.

Book SynopsisThis book explores the history and continuing relevance of melancholia as an amorphous but richly suggestive theme in literature, music, and visual culture, as well as philosophy and the history of ideas. Inspired by Albrecht DÃrerâs engraving Melencolia I (1514)âthe first visual representation of artistic melancholyâthis volume brings together contributions by scholars from a variety of disciplines.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Agency of Organizing
Book SynopsisWinner of the 2018 Outstanding Edited Book Award from the Organizational Communication Division of the National Communication AssociationThe Agency of Organizing explains why the notion of agency is central to understanding what organizations are, how they come into existence, continue to exist, or fade away, and how they function. Written by leading organizational communication scholars, the chapters in this edited volume present seven different theoretical perspectives on agency in the dynamics of organizing. Authors discuss how they conceptualize agency from their own perspective and how they propose to investigate agency empirically in processes of organizing by using specific methods. Through insightful case studies, they demonstrate the value of these perspectives for organizational research and practice.Trade Review"This book presents an exciting and diverse set of approaches to agency. If we understand agency as ‘making a difference’ in the way situations unfold, this volume will certainly have agency in stimulating and shaping new lines of research in the field of organizational communication."-Lars Thøger Christensen, Professor of Communication and Organization, Department of Management, Society and Communication, Copenhagen Business School"This is a wonderfully edited volume of thought-provoking essays on the topic of agency in and around organizations. For some time, some of the best theorizing in organization studies has in my view been coming from the organizational communication field, and here once again the leading figures in this tradition unpack, challenge, critique, and extend established notions of agency and agency theory within management and organizational research. They push and refine our thinking on agency in many ways. If you have an interest in understanding organizations and organizational life, you simply must read this collection!"-Joep Cornelissen, Professor of Corporate Communication and Management, Erasmus University and Associate Editor, Academy of Management Review"Do we make our own future or are we pawns set in motion by forces we cannot control? This is an age-old question to be sure. Many of the most popular theoretical perspectives that have emerged over the past several decades to confront it have suggested that the answer is, 'both.' Clearly, that is not a very satisfactory answer. The contributors to this book dive deep into discussions of agency to begin mapping out new ways to understand our capacity to act – which often happens in conjunction with a network of other actors. Together, these insightful chapters provide us new ways to understand these old questions in an era of rapid change."-Paul Leonardi, Duca Family Professor of Technology Management, University of California, Santa Barbara"After reading this text, I came away impressed with the treatment of agency in all of its performative, material, constrained, individual, and collective aspects. Although the contributors are all organizational communication scholars, any organizational scientist interested in pushing the boundaries of what agency means for organizations and its members should find this book to be a valuable resource."-Gail T. Fairhurst, Distinguished University Research Professor of Organizational Communication, University of Cincinnati"Agency, seen in terms of this volume, helps us see how the context-bound present moment becomes real in the organization. The illustrations here allow us to envision how seeing agency differently can open up new ways of understanding the organization and its consequences."-James R. Barker, Professor of Organizational Theory and Strategy and Herbert S. Lamb Chair in Business Education, Dalhousie University"Theorizing is a risky business; creativity and courage are needed. The chapters in Professor Boris H. J. M. Brummans’s edited volume exhibit both at full tilt. I recommend the book for the advanced and serious student of organizational communication and organization studies."-Ryan S.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Peter Pans Shadows in the Literary Imagination
Book SynopsisThis book is a literary analysis of J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan in all its different versions -- key rewritings, dramatisations, prequels, and sequels -- and includes a synthesis of the main critical interpretations of the text over its history. A comprehensive and intelligent study of the Peter Pan phenomenon, this study discusses the book's complicated textual history, exploring its origins in the Harlequinade theatrical tradition and British pantomime in the nineteenth century. Stirling investigates potential textual and extra-textual sources for Peter Pan, the critical tendency to seek sources in Barrie's own biography, and the proliferation of prequels and sequels aiming to explain, contextualize, or close off, Barrie's exploration of the imagination. The sources considered include Dave Barry and Ridley Pearson's Starcatchers trilogy, Régis Loisel's six-part Peter Pan graphic novel in French (1990-2004), Andrew Birkin's The Lost Boys serTrade Review'This excellent book is an important contribution to the documentation and critical interpretation of a literary myth, text and character that has transcended its authorial and textual origins and, as the author states, 'taken on a life of its own'.- Scottish Literary Review"Her analysis is compelling...

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Poems of Ben Jonson
Book SynopsisBen Jonson, who was with Shakespeare and Marlowe one of three principal playwrights of his age, was also one of its most original and influential poets. Known best for the country house poem To Penshurst' and his moving elegy On my First Son', his work inspired the whole generation of seventeenth-century poets who declared themselves the Sons of Ben'. This edition brings his three major verse publications, Epigrams (1616), The Forest (1616), and Underwood (1641) together with his large body of uncollected poems to create the largest collection of Jonson's verse that has been published. It thus gives readers a comprehensive view of the wide range of his achievement, from satirical epigrams through graceful lyrics to tender epitaphs. Though he is often seen as the preeminent English poet of the plain style, Jonson employed a wealth of topical and classical allusion and a compressed syntax which mean his poetry can require as much annotation for the modTable of ContentsChronological Table of Jonson’s Life Abbreviations THE POEMS POEMS 1597-1616 1 From The Case is Altered 2 From Thomas Palmer, The Sprite of Trees and Herbs 3 From Cynthia’s Revels 4 From Nicholas Breton, Melancholic Humours. 5 An Epistle to a Friend 6 From England’s Parnassus 7 [On Thomas Nashe] 8 From Love’s Martyr 9 Prologue, Songs and Poems from Poetaster 10 Ode 11 A Speech out of Lucan 12 From Hugh Holland, Pancharis 13 B.

Taylor & Francis The Poems of Andrew Marvell
Book SynopsisLittle known as a poet in his own time, Andrew Marvell (1621-78) was a patriotic politician and champion of religious toleration during the Restoration. Although long celebrated for the great love lyric, To His Coy Mistress, the last century has seen his wider reputation as a poet grow significantly, as readers have acclaimed not only his technical excellence, but the appeal of his verse to such themes as poetry and politics, alternative sexualities and the criticism of violent persecution. Nigel Smith presents an authoritative text of Marvell's poetry, accompanied by extensive annotations giving an unprecedented record of literary, philosophical and theological analogues and allusions. Local points of interpretation are addressed - using the many hundreds of publications devoted to Marvell's life and works - and Marvell's canon is re-appraised: some poems considered dubious hitherto are added, and others excluded. In a headnote to each poem, the reader will find theTrade Review"The more I read, the more fascinating it became... the poems now move with even more life than they did before. If you've ever been impressed by the beauty, intelligence and sly mystery of Marvell's work, you're really going to have to get this." - Nicholas Lezzard, The Guardian"His commentary is in many ways the best available on Marvell…On sources, Smith is highly informative..." - Times Literary Supplement"...detailed notes and careful annotations are of high order and form a scholarship of which any editor and publisher can be justly proud." - Contemporary Review"You could not get a more learned edition...

Taylor & Francis Ltd Jane Austen and Sciences of the Mind
Book SynopsisThe essays in this volume interpret Jane Austen's fiction through the lens of various sciences of the mind and brain, especially the cluster of disciplines implicated in the term cognitive science, including neuroscience, evolutionary biology, evolutionary and developmental psychology, and others. The field of cognitive literary studies has rapidly developed in the last few decades and achieved the status of an established (if still evolving) critical approach. One of the most popular authors to analyze from this perspective is Jane Austen. As numerous critics have noted, Austen was a keen observer of how the mind operates in its interactions with other minds, both when it functions successfully and when, as often happens, it goes awry, and her perceptions are often in synch with current neuroscientific and psychological research. Despite the widespread recognition of the special congruity between Austen's novels and cognitive science, however, no book has been devoted to this subjeTrade Review"Thanks to this new volume, cognitive literary studies has progressed one step further." - Inger S. B. Brodey, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill."Jane Austen and Sciences of the Mind richly reveals the power of cognitive literary studies, its need to embrace evolutionary perspectives, and the mutual benefits of integrating the arts, the humanities, and the sciences."- Brian Boyd, Evolutionary Studies in Imaginative Culture."Jane Austen specialists will, I'm sure, find in this book many insights into the novels and also much to interest them about the current state of cognitive science. Overall, the standard of the writing is high and the chapters by Nelles, Richardson, and Hogan are outstanding."- Alan Palmer, Review19.org.Table of ContentsIntroductionBeth Lau 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Cautionary Tales: Young People, Crime and
Book SynopsisJuvenile crime makes headlines. It is the stock-in-trade of politicians and pundits. But young people are also the victims of crime. They too have demands to make of the police. Drawing upon survey and interview research with 11 to 15 year-olds in Edinburgh, this book examines how crime impacts upon young people’s everyday lives. It reveals that young people experience far more serious problems as victims and witnesses of crime, than they cause as offenders. It shows that they report little of their experiences of crime to the police, and are left to find their own ways of managing risk, such as telling cautionary tales about dangerous people and places. The study concludes by examining young people's relations with the police, suggesting they are over-controlled as suspects and under-protected as victims.Trade Review’...an important and pioneering study in several different senses.’ L’Officier de Police ’This is a marvellous path-breaking study, which puts children as victims in a much clearer context than other work...’ British Journal of CriminologyTable of ContentsContents: Young people and the city; The victimisation of young people; Living with crime; Breaking the law, learning the rules; Young people and the police.

St Jerome Publishing Lexis and Creativity in Translation: A Corpus Based Approach
Book SynopsisComputers offer new perspectives in the study of language, allowing us to see phenomena that previously remained obscure because of the limitations of our vantage points. It is not uncommon for computers to be likened to the telescope, or microscope, in this respect. In this pioneering computer-assisted study of translation, Dorothy Kenny suggests another image, that of the kaleidoscope: playful changes of perspective using corpus-processing software allow textual patterns to come into focus and then recede again as others take their place. And against the background of repeated patterns in a corpus, creative uses of language gain a particular prominence.In Lexis and Creativity in Translation, Kenny monitors the translation of creative source-text word forms and collocations uncovered in a specially constructed German-English parallel corpus of literary texts. Using an abundance of examples, she reveals evidence of both normalization and ingenious creativity in translation. Her discussion of lexical creativity draws on insights from traditional morphology, structural semantics and, most notably, neo-Firthian corpus linguistics, suggesting that rumours of the demise of linguistics in translation studies are greatly exaggerated.Lexis and Creativity in Translation is essential reading for anyone interested in corpus linguistics and its impact so far on translation studies. The book also offers theoretical and practical guidance for researchers who wish to conduct their own corpus-based investigations of translation. No previous knowledge of German, corpus linguistics or computing is assumed.Table of ContentsLexis and Creativity in Translation: ContentsAcknowledgements Introduction1.

(Christine Pagnoulle, Perspectives) For practitioners, this book will be useful because it organizes a great deal of material about translation theory in a small space. For theoreticians, the book could be enlightening because it points out our lack of knowledge about so many aspects of translating.
