Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Trolling began long before the internet. This accessible history traces the ancestry of its textual and rhetorical strategies, by looking at literature from ancient Greece to the 1980s. Trolling is the most controversial genre of writing to have risen to prominence in the 21st century, with far-reaching consequences for its writers and readers alike. But it is too often regarded as a technological problem, confined to the internet. This book takes a very different approach: it regards trolling as a cultural problem with a long and venerable literary history.Taking in the contrarianism of Lord Byron, the wit of Oscar Wilde, insult trading in Shakespeare, Jonathan Swifts disaster trolling, Martin Luthers dissemination of heresy through a public discussion forum, the grotesquely misogynistic abuse hurled in Archilochuss poetry, the taunting provocations of avant-garde manifestos, and not forgetting public humiliations in Beowulf, David Rudrum demonstrates that trolls rhetorical shenanigans are neither new nor unvanquishable. Traces the literary and rhetorical ancestry of trolling. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. For more than a decade now a steadily growing chorus of voices has announced that the postmodern literature, art, thought and culture of the late 20th century have come to an end. At the same time as this, the early years of the 21st century have seen a stream of critical formulations proclaiming a successor to postmodernism. Intriguing and exciting new terms such as remodernism, performatism, hypermodernism, automodernism, renewalism, altermodernism, digimodernism and metamodernism have been coined, proposed and debated as terms for what comes after the postmodern. Supplanting the Postmodern is the first anthology to collect the key writings in these debates in one place.The book is divided into two parts: the first, The Sense of an Ending, presents a range of positions in the debate around the demise of the postmodern; the second, Coming to Terms with the New, presents representative writings from the new isms mentioned above. Each of the entries is prefaced by a brief introduction by the editors, in which they outline its central ideas, point out the similarities and/or differences from other positions found in the anthology, and suggest possible strengths and limitations to the insights presented in each piece.
