Book SynopsisThis book reviews the cross-disciplinary debate sparked by renewed interest in Elinor Glynâs life and legacy by film scholars and literary and feminist historians and offers a range of views of Glyn's cultural and historical significance and areas for future research.Elinor Glyn was a celebrity figure in the 1920s. In the magazines she gave tips on beauty and romance, on keeping your man and on the contentious issue of divorce. Her racy stories were turned into films â most famously, Three Weeks (1924) and It (1927). Decades on the âIt Girlâ remains in common currency, defining the sexy, sassy and alluring young woman. She was beloved by readers of romance, and her films were distributed widely in Europe and the Americas. They were viewed by the judiciary as scandalous, but by others - Hollywood and the Spanish Catholic Church - as acceptably conservative. Glyn has become a peripheral figure in histories of this period, marginalized in accounts of the youth-centred âflapper eraâ. This book features scholarship by Stacy Gillis, Annette Kuhn, Nickianne Moody, Caterina Riba and Carme SanmartÃ, Lisa Stead, Karen Randell, and Alexis Weedonand includes, translated for the first time, the intertitles for MÃrton Garas, 1917 film of Three Weeks, HÃrom hÃt by Orsolya ZsuppÃn.The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Women: A Cultural Review.

Book SynopsisThis book encourages further conversation on the expanding circle in World Englishes, offering a detailed look at China English' through the academic writing of Chinese students at a British university.The volume seeks to blur the simplistic binary of Chinglish', a broad term often understood to encompass grammatical or lexical errors or seemingly unnatural' expressions, and China English', which the authors articulate here as its own variety, as evidenced in language use marked by predictability. The research framework begins with analysing student essays in one program at the University of Manchester, predominantly made up of Chinese students. In highlighting recurring features and supported by online surveys of the students, the authors demonstrate how China English' displays the systematicity in grammar and lexis observed in varieties of English. In focusing on academic writing, a genre which bears prominence in assessment, the book raises key question

Book SynopsisThis is both the first systematic introduction to Discourse Studies for students and scholars of social movements and a study of discourses on the European refugee crisis, by leading theorist, Teun A. van Dijk.Concrete examples of different kinds of discourse are vital for the study of social movements because their activities are not limited to such well-known forms of contention as marches, occupations or strikes, but also daily discursive activities, such as meetings, assemblies, interviews, press conferences, manifestos, pamphlets, banners, graffiti, websites, blogs, social media posts and everyday talk.This book proposes that empirical analyses of these discourses should go beyond the popular but vague notion of frameand engage in more detailed and explicit analyses of the text and talk of social movements.This is a much-needed introduction to the most important structures of discourse and a detailed theoretical account of the notion of solidarity defining the RefTrade Review"What a wonderful book! A timely resource for researchers working in both discourse analysis and social movement studies. Van Dijk does what he has always done, showing us clear ways to throw light on the identities, norms, values, emotions and ideologies that can be buried in communication. Notably for the times in which we live, this is a highly optimistic book, which foregrounds what has been, and is being, achieved in the name of openness, equality, rights and compassion."Professor David Machin, Institute of Corpus Studies and Applications, Shanghai International Studies University, China"In this enormously valuable introduction to the field of discourse studies, Teun van Dijk reviews diverse approaches for studying talk in movements, showing just what each can contribute to our understanding of key dynamics of mobilization. In the process, he extends his masterful work on the language of power and the language of resistance to that of solidarity. A signal contribution."Francesca Polletta, Chancellor's Professor of Sociology, University of California, Irvine "Written by a legend of the Critical Discourse Analysis tradition, this is a majestic piece of scholarship that reframes the field of social movement research from the perspective of text and discourse. Offering a systematic framework for the study of social movement communication as well as an insightful analysis of the argumentative structures of contemporary discourse on refugees, this is indispensable reading for scholars not only in Linguistics and Social Movement Studies but also across the humanities and the social sciences." Prof. Lilie Chouliaraki, Chair in Media and Communications in the Department of Media and Communications, LSE"Thirty years ago, sociologists and political scientists brought the concepts of frames and framing to the field of social movement and protest research, and soon these ideas became the dominant ways of talking about cultural, ideational, and discursive influences. Teun A. van Dijk’s new book, Social Movement Discourse, offers a linguist’s critique of this corpus from the standpoint of discourse, text, and cognition. Importantly, his discourse-analytic perspective directs attention to the empirical grounding of framing approaches in talk, text, and speech situations. Now in the 2020s, as methods of big-data analyses are poised to transform the study of movement discourses, van Dijk’s monograph offers a critical look that can inspire new generations of researchers interested in the words, meaning, interpretation, and discursive contexts of social movements." Hank Johnston, Professor of Sociology and Editor, Routledge Series on Social Movements"Much more than an introduction to discourse analysis for social movement scholars, this extremely useful book, written by a most influential scholar in the field, provides stimulating discussions on how the study of style, rhetoric, argumentation, grammar, genre, and semantic enriches our understanding of texts and talks in contentious politics."Prof. Donatella della Porta, Founding Dean of the Faculty of Political and Social Sciences, Director of Centre of Social Movements Studies, Director of the PhD Program in Political Science and Sociology"Van Dijk’s ability to make discourse analysis socially relevant, unequalled knowledge of the field and exemplary conceptual clarity combine to make this book both a compelling account of the constitutive role of discourse in contemporary social movements and an outstanding compendium of discourse analytical theories and methods."Theo van Leeuwen, Professor of Language and Communication at the University of Southern Denmark"There exists no one better than Teun van Dijk who combines the analytical brilliance and detailed empirical analysis to deconstruct the intricate workings of social movements. In this outstanding monograph, the case in point is the ‘Refugees Welcome Movement’ 2015/16. Van Dijk embeds his comparative qualitative analysis in a sophisticated theoretical socio-cognitive framework which emphasizes the salient role of discourse when studying social movements. This book is a must-read for scholars and graduate students in the Social Sciences alike, who are interested in understanding and explaining the success (and failures) of glocal grassroot campaigns in European liberal democracies."

Book SynopsisBy drawing on multiple examples from healthcare, religion, service encounters and poetry, Lionel Wee presents rich insights into the use of automation in communication through a posthumanist lens.As communication becomes increasingly automated, the use of automation creates significant conceptual challenges for ideologies about language, beliefs about the nature of language, as well as assumptions about the roles that interpretation, anthropomorphism, and folk theories of mind play when language is used in communication. This book unravels the ideological implications of automation in communication and provides a new theoretical ground to address the major issues raised by automation. Wee discusses the importance of thinking carefully about how we identify and distinguish the roles of speaker and hearer. He also argues that we re-evaluate our understanding of the relationship between language and community.This book will be vital to students interested in studying the

Book SynopsisThe first of two hardcover volumes collecting the major nonfiction by the father of American literature: more than 150 letters, essays, and speeches selected to showcase the dazzling range of his interests and passions. An Everyman's Library Original. Whether crossing the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans or blazing through Europe and the Americas, Twain turned his trademark wit, candor, and acerbic sarcasm on all his experiences. We can trace his personal evolution through his ambition-filled missives home to Missouri after moving out West to be a fledgling reporter, his raucous stories of navigating a steamboat down the Mississippi, his romantic-turned-elegiac sentiments for his wife, Livy, and, later in life, his darker reflections on the ills of society. Often too outrageous not to be true, Twain’s real-life adventures added to his enduring legend, while his clear-eyed view of humanity has provided an unmatched blend of entertainment and moral integrity for generations of readers.

In the public sphere, he is embroiled in controversy over foreign affairs, race, religion, education, social policy, the state of culture, the fate of the novel.

Here Andrea di Robilant re-creates with sparkling clarity this surprising, years-long relationship, during which Adriana inspired a man thirty years her senior to complete his great final work.   Hemingway used Adriana as the model for Renata in Across the River and into the Trees, and continued to visit Venice to see her; when the Ivanciches traveled to Cuba, Adriana was there as he wrote The Old Man and the Sea.

The headnotes are also outstanding …' Paul Remley, University of Washington, SeattleReview of previous edition: 'Marsden has done a masterful job of glossing and annotating the texts in the Reader … he gets the level of annotation just right for a university-level student of the subject. I admire his headnotes very much for the amount of material he manages to convey in a relatively short space … I think that this book will be very easy to teach from. The number of texts that he offers in the book is remarkable and admirable … in addition, the careful level of glossing and annotation of some difficult texts means that a teacher can assign a much wider range of texts than usual in an introductory course …' Katherine O'Brien O'Keeffe, University of Notre DameReview of previous edition: 'Marsden's Reader is traditional … The preliminaries offer sensible and succinct observations on such matters a as punctuation, spelling variation, and emendation (admirably kept to a minimum except for the Colloquy) … [His] convenient and thought-provoking rough categorization brings to the front of his reader two groupings that could prompt teachers of Old English to think out their courses anew.'

Book SynopsisThis collection of essays explores laughter, humor, and the comic from a psychoanalytic perspective. Edited by two leading practicing psychoanalysts and with original contributions from Lacanian practitioners and scholars, this cutting-edge volume proposes a paradigm swerve, a Freudian slip on a banana peel. Psychoanalysis has long been associated with tragedy and there is a strong warrant to take up comedy as a more productive model for psychoanalytic practice and critique. Jokes and the comic have not received nearly as much consideration as they deserve given the fundamental role they play in our psychic lives and the way they unite the fields of aesthetics, literature, and psychoanalysis. Lacan, Psychoanalysis and Comedy addresses this lack and opens up the discussion.Table of ContentsIntroduction Patricia Gherovici and Manya Steinkoler; Part I. The Laughing Cure: 1.

Book SynopsisA comprehensive introduction to Old Norse-Icelandic eddic poetry, written in accessible terms and featuring the latest research on poetics. It foregrounds the poetry's role in transmitting Scandinavian myths from the Viking Age and its value in the study of pre-Christian religions, as well as the poetry's influence on later writers.Trade Review'Once again, Larrington has stepped up to the plate, with her co-editors Judy Quinn and Brittany Schorn, to provide this very welcome compendium of scholarly commentary, not on the whole of the mythology, but on the medieval Icelandic poetry in which it is recorded - poetry of the kind that was used by Snorri as the basis for his first in the line of many prose retellings … The volume as a whole will encourage many readers in a renewed engagement with these wonderful poems, preferably in the original language, and make them realize how much deeper and richer these 'sources' are than even the best modern retelling.' Judith Jesch, The Times Literary Supplement'… a skillfully edited book that will serve the intended purpose to present a wide range of contemporary eddic studies to researchers and students. It is interesting to read such diverse approaches to a single area of Old Norse studies, and it is fascinating to see proponents of oral theory juxtaposed with advocates of New Philology in a single book.' Lukas Rösli, Scandinavian Studies'Calling into question previously established categorizations, including the binary classification system of Old Norse poems into either skaldic or Eddic, the book provides the opportunity to discuss poems that have rarely been thought of as Eddic alongside those that are standard exemplars.'

Book SynopsisThe history of ideas has played a central role in Russia's political and social history. Understanding its intellectual tradition and the way the intelligentsia have shaped the nation is crucial to understanding the Russia of today. This history examines important intellectual and cultural currents (the Enlightenment, nationalism, nihilism, and religious revival) and key themes (conceptions of the West and East, the common people, and attitudes to capitalism and natural science) in Russian intellectual history. Concentrating on the Golden Age of Russian thought in the mid-nineteenth century, the contributors also look back to its eighteenth-century origins in the flowering of culture following the reign of Peter the Great, and forward to the continuing vitality of Russia's classical intellectual tradition in the Soviet and post-Soviet eras.
