Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -'This excellent volume-the first book-length study in English on Despentes's writing-is rich, timely and insightful. Schaal's rigorous analysis contextualises Despentes's work carefully in relation to contemporary writing and thought, highlighting its intersections with gender theory, in particular. The book is the fruit of extensive knowledge of Despentes's work across several media and will be of interest to students and scholars in gender studies, literary studies and contemporary cultural studies.' (Professor Natalie Edwards, Head of the School of Modern Languages and Professor of Literature in French, University of Bristol) 'Schaal's academic treatment of Despentes's work manages to maintain the appealing edge of the author's approach while exercising impressive critical astuteness. The book is thoughtfully considered: from the Reflexivity and Positionality Statement that opens the book to the pedagogically minded vast bibliography at the end. Grrrl Writing will appeal to scholars and students interested in Despentes, French feminisms, political fiction, and women writers in an increasingly self-reflexive literary economy.' (Anne Brancky, Associate Professor of French and Francophone Studies, Vassar College)'Schaal offers us a very exhaustive study of Despentes's novels from Baise-moi to Cher connard. The author engages with all current criticism (in French and English) to demonstrate the evolution of the politics and aesthetics of protest that Despentes's novels perform. Questions of social vulnerability and fragility assigned by (sexual or racial) identities are at the center of Schaal's reflections. This book is a must-read if you want to undertake research on the author Despentes and the French feminist protest novel.' (Catherine Mavrikakis, Professor, Département des littératures de langue française, Université de Montreal)When Virginie Despentes (1969) published her provocative debut novel Baise-moi [Rape Me] in 1994, no one could have anticipated how she would gradually become a literary, feminist, and punk icon. This book is the first to adopt a holistic, interdisciplinary approach to Despentes's novels and evolution as an author. Using feminist, queer, literary, and punk theories, the book examines how Despentes has developed and refined her Grrrl writing in Baise-moi, Les Chiennes savantes [The Learned Bitches, 1996], and Les Jolies choses [Pretty Things, 1998]. The study specifically illustrates how her unique authorial politics, infused with punk, genre- and genderbending praxes, have provided an acerbic critique of a still largely heteropatriarchal French society. Despentes's Grrrl writing denounces how heteropatriarchy engenders and thrives on injustice and social inequities, but also how conventions at play in classic or populist literary genres can perpetuate oppression as well. 280 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Si le sonnet s'impose comme une forme fixe, très réglementée, force est de reconnaître qu'il existe maintenant sous plusieurs formes, plus ou moins fixes et parfois moins que plus, notamment dans le sonnet en prose. Le plan de texte métrique lui servant de définition ne constitue plus une norme. L'auteure a été amenée à réévaluer ce que peut être le sonnet contemporain, à partir d'un arrière-plan culturel très ancré. Elle a émis l'hypothèse que le sonnet constituait un genre défini par des propriétés communes d'ordre thématique, compositionnel et stylistique. L'ouvrage analyse des ensembles de sonnets (une vingtaine de titres de recueils), publiés ces vingt dernières années, pour mettre en évidence une typologie thématique¿: sonnets amoureux, sonnets tombeaux, sonnets tableaux et sonnets métalinguistiques ; il réfléchit ensuite aux enjeux de la versification, de la syntaxe et de la ponctuation. L'approche stylistique, et plus particulièrement poétique, permet d'interroger la singularité de telles ¿uvres et leur place dans le champ de la littérature contemporaine.…

They enjoyed success on concert and variety stages, in theatre and film, and in recordings, and were painted by Max Oppenheimer. Forced into exile by the Nazis' seizure of power, the group, consisting mainly of Jewish musicians, was initially able to continue to perform under difficult conditions in Europe, the Soviet Union and Japan, before temporarily finding a new home in Australia in 1937. The Second World War and internment ended their career. This comprehensive book on the subject, published for the first time in English, traces the fascinating artistic development and moving lives of the Weintraubs Syncopators. The accompanying website brings the versatile art of this jazz band to life in annotated audio and video files. 340 pp. Englisch.…

But was COVID such a historical event Has the COVID generation been born or have we reached a latent, multi-outcome state Although the pandemic and the heightened social reflection associated with it have subsided, its scientific, particularly sociological, lessons are far from complete. Within the framework of current generational logic in sociology, a key question arises: how did young people experience and navigate the three years defined by COVID, and will today's youth cohorts organically form a distinct generation The authors are youth researchers from several social sciences. The uniqueness of their research lies partly in its content: while it focuses on the Hungarian context, no comparable comprehensive study is known in the social sciences. It is also unique in methodology, employing a combination of focus groups, big data-based social listening techniques, and surveys. 276 pp. Englisch. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -In an increasingly interconnected world, the ideas of democracy, social justice, and human rights have become integral to the ideologies and operations of institutions at both national and global levels. India is frequently hailed as the largest democracy in the world because of its stable electoral system, which enables recurrent elections at all governmental levels. Nevertheless, in recent years, debates around democracy, social justice, and human rights in India have intensified, fueled by contentious issues such as gendered rights, caste marginalization, environmental justice, and the erosion of democratic norms. While India has made significant strides in certain areas, there is still much attention to be paid to address systemic inequalities, protect fundamental rights, and strengthen democratic institutions to ensure the inclusive and equitable development of all its citizens. In this context, this book proposes an integrated approach to further democratization through these endeavors. 258 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book delves into how migration is depicted through multilingual discourses, blending corpus linguistics and critical discourse analysis. Emerging from a colloquium at Jaume I University in Castellón (Spain), it links translation studies, migration, and discourse analysis, revealing migration as more than physical movement. It is a cultural, ideological process rooted in language. Through four sections, it examines migration's complexities: theoretical frameworks, multilingual political discourse, grassroots narratives, and methodological advances like MD-CADS. Key themes include ideological framing of concepts like 'diversity' and 'security,' the clash between global mobility and restrictive policies, and challenges such as climate-induced migration and digital misinformation. This work challenges dominant narratives, urging nuanced understanding of migration's global impact. 316 pp. Englisch.…

Neuware -Georges Pompidou and Edward Heath marked a milestone in the centuries-old relationship between France and the United Kingdom, one shaped by rivalries and mutual stereotypes but also strategic convergence, especially in times of crisis. They formed a 'Franco-British couple' at a time when the French president was assessing the transformation of the global economic and monetary system, and when the British Prime Minister was successfully convincing both Parliament and public opinion of the opportunity offered by the EEC for Britain to anchor itself within Europe.The fiftieth anniversary of Georges Pompidou's death and Edward Heath's departure from Downing Street, and the 120th anniversary of the Entente Cordiale (2024), naturally invite us to reflect on this historical turning point and its long-term consequences, particularly in light of archival materials recently made available at the French National Archives and the Weston Library in Oxford, which open up broad avenues for research.This volume brings together several articles by French and British specialists covering the various dimensions of the Franco-British relationship in Europe-from strategic cooperation to culture-while highlighting the evolution of the United Kingdom's political and economic situation.GPSR Kontakt, Harvestehuder Weg 42, 20149 Hamburg 226 pp. Englisch. …

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -España, gracias a su condición de crisol de civilizaciones y puente histórico y político entre culturas, ha ejercido sobre la literatura, el arte y la música europea un efecto exótico, lejano y profundamente inspirador. Desde una perspectiva interdisciplinar, esta colección de ensayos aborda los distintos perfiles temáticos, argumentales y musicales que el imaginario hispánico ha recibido en el patrimonio operístico europeo. El lector encontrará un apasionante viaje que transita desde la presencia de 'Don Quijote' en Inglaterra, la influencia española en las óperas tempranas de Händel o la popularidad de Sevilla como enclave operístico, hasta tragedias líricas como 'Sancia di Castiglia' de Donizetti, las raíces dramáticas españolas de 'Il trovatore' y 'Don Carlo' de Verdi, o la discutida y perdurable iconicidad de Carmen de Bizet. Por otro lado, la imagen de España en el teatro musical parisino del siglo XIX, su vinculación a un 'orientalismo' propio de la ópera italiana, la presencia de la mujer española o la dimensión colonial en el IV centenario de la llegada a América, constituyen, igualmente, aspectos extensos y controvertidos que convierten estas páginas en un retrato complejo y preciso de un país que supera las fronteras transpirenaicas para ser comprendido desde el corazón social de la ópera europea. 436 pp. Spanisch.…

Neuware -The fifteenth and sixteenth centuries saw a significant rhetorical shift that has long influenced French literature. In this period, poets began to describe themselves as orators. Their verse was addressed to various audiences, both real or fictional. It was judged on its eloquence, public utility, and ability to engage with contemporary concerns and events. This book endeavours to shed light on this unique moment of interplay between poetry and communication, through an interdisciplinary framework that draws on approaches from rhetoric, philology, and communication studies. Through eight case studies, this book explores a little-known history of French literature, from George Chastelain to Ronsard, including poets such as Guillaume Cretin, Jean Lemaire de Belges, Octovien de Saint-Gelais, Jean Molinet, Jean Bouchet, Nicaise Ladam and François Habert.GPSR Kontakt, Juan Ignacio Luca de Tena, 15, 28027 Madrid 196 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book explores the search for authenticity in the work of Jack Kerouac in the context of postwar American capitalism and the rise of the spectacle as a dominant mode of social mediation. It examines how Kerouac's experimental prose, spiritual inquiry, and relational aesthetics function as strategies of resistance to cultural homogenization, existential alienation, and hyper-individualism. Drawing from philosophy, anthropology, media theory, cognitive and evolutionary science, and narratology, the study traces how Kerouac reimagines American identity through encounters with the Other, esoteric forms of knowledge, and intersubjective experience. Combining close textual analysis with a broad interdisciplinary lens, it considers how Kerouac's liminal position-as both insider and outsider-enables a unique literary response to the anxieties of his time. By placing Kerouac in dialogue with thinkers such as Guy Debord, Jean Baudrillard, Friedrich Nietzsche, and C. G. Jung, this book sheds new light on the aesthetic, philosophical, and political dimensions of his work. 346 pp. Englisch.…

Neuware -Africa experienced direct and indirect foreign interventions since the continent's colonization by the Europeans in the nineteenth century. These interventions have had political, economic and social consequences for the continent and its people.

Neuware -This book gathers a wide range of ethnic-media crisis coverage case studies to construct a new crisis-time journalism model for ethnic media. By assessing the responses of ethnic news outlets to contemporary crises - such as the COVID-19 pandemic, events of racial injustice in 2020, environmental disasters, water contamination, and anti-Asian hate - these authors highlight the unique contributions of ethnic-media. Despite the multifaceted challenges facing ethnic news outlets serving four ethnic groups in the U.S. (African Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic/Latino Americans, and Native Americans/ Indigenous people) provided their communities with information and analysis during instances of crisis. This study therefore provides valuable insights into the strategies that ethnic news outlets can adopt to stay viable and relevant, especially during a future crisis.GPSR Kontakt, Juan Ignacio Luca de Tena, 15, 28027 Madrid 360 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This book presents a sobering account of contemporary America's anemic grasp of truth. It documents a variety of sources collectively contributing to a disturbing torrent of misconception and falsity. Unsurprisingly, much of the explanation for this truthless spate relates to money and power. None of this is new in the sense that America has always had a copious supply of fraudsters and con men. What is new, however, is the ubiquity of social media, which blurs the line between fact and fiction on a societal-wide basis. Given truth's status as the cornerstone of a society's legal, moral, and spiritual identity, the corrupting consequences are clear and devastating. Accordingly, author Michael Soupios argues that truth must never be approached in nominal terms: every viable culture must forcefully bear witness to it. Failure to do so allows all manner of BS to become 'credible'-including the counterfeit musings of hucksters and charlatans. This book will be essential reading for all those interested in the moral forces driving America's current crisis.GPSR Kontakt, Juan Ignacio Luca de Tena, 15, 28027 Madrid 118 pp. Englisch. …
