    "Contemporary African American and Black British Women Writers: Narrative, Race, Ethics brings together British and American scholars to explore how, in texts by contemporary black women writers in the U. S. and Britain, formal narrative techniques express new understandings of race or stimulate ethical thinking about race in a reader. Taken together, the essays also demonstrate that black women writers from both sides of the Atlantic borrow formal structures and literary techniques from one another to describe the workings of structural racism in the daily lives of black subjects and to provoke readers to think anew about race. Narratology has only recently begun to use race as a category of narrative theory. This collection seeks both to show the ethical effects of narrative form on individual readers and to foster reconceptualizations of narrative theory that account for the workings of race within literature and culture"--

    Franklin Delano Roosevelt famously declared that "the greatest duty of a statesman is to educate." The central claim of 'Why Moralize upon It?' is that it is not only statesmen who can help educate a democratic citizenry, but also novelists and filmmakers. This book's title is drawn from Melville's Benito Cereno. Near the end of this novella, after he has put down a rebellion of enslaved Africans, the American captain Amasa Delano claims that "the past is passed," and thus there is no need to "moralize upon it." Melville suggests, though, that it is crucial for Americans to critically examine American history and American political institutions; otherwise, they may be blind to the existence of injustices which will ultimately undermine democracy. Danoff argues that novels and films play a crucial role in helping democratic citizens undertake the kind of moral reflection that they must engage in if they are to not only preserve their political community, but also render it "forever worthy of the saving," as Abraham Lincoln put it

Coda: And Beyond? -- Works Cited -- Index This study traces the connection of infinity and Levinasian ethics in 21st-century fiction. It tackles the paradox of how infinity can be (re-)presented in the finite space between the covers of a book and finds an answer that combines conceptual metaphor theory with concepts from classical narratology and beyond, such as mise en abyme, textual circularity, intertextuality or omniscient narration. It argues that texts with such structures may be conceptualised as infinite via Lakoff and Núñez’s Basic Metaphor of Infinity. The catachrestic transfer of infinity from structure to text means that the texts themselves are understood to be infinite. Taking its cue from the central role of the infinite in Emmanuel Levinas’s ethics, the function of such ‘fictions of infinity’ turns out to be ethical: infinite textuality disrupts reading patterns and calls into question the reader’s spontaneity to interpret. This hypothesis is put to the test in detailed readings of four 21st-century novels, David Mitchell’s Cloud Atlas, Jeanette Winterson’s The Stone Gods, Ian McEwan’s Saturday and John Banville’s The Infinities. This book thus combines ethical criticism with structural aesthetics to uncover ethical potential in fiction

    From ninjō to the ninjōbon : toward the licentious novel -- Questioning the idealist novel : virtue and desire in Nansō Satomi hakkenden -- Translating love in the early Meiji novel : ninjōbon and yomihon in the age of enlightenment -- Historicizing literary reform : shōsetsu shinzui, translation, and the civilizational politics of ninjō -- The novel's failure : Shōyō and the aporia of realism and idealism -- Ninjō and the late Meiji novel : recontextualizing Sōseki's literary project. "Nineteenth-century Japanese literary discourse and narrative developed a striking preoccupation with ninjō--literally 'human emotion,' but often used in reference to amorous feeling and erotic desire. For many writers and critics, fiction's capacity to foster both licentiousness and didactic values stood out as a crucial source of ambivalence. Simultaneously capable of inspiring exemplary behavior and a dangerous force transgressing social norms, ninjō became a focal point for debates about the role of the novel and a key motor propelling the dynamics of narrative plots. In Licentious Fictions, Daniel Poch investigates the significance of ninjō in defining the literary modernity of nineteenth-century Japan. He explores how cultural anxieties about the power of literature in mediating emotions and desire shaped Japanese narrative from the late Edo through the Meiji period. Poch argues that the Meiji novel, instead of superseding earlier discourses and narrative practices surrounding ninjō, complicated them by integrating them into the new cultural and literary signifiers brought about by Western translation. He offers close readings of a broad array of late Edo- and Meiji-period narrative and critical sources, examining how they shed light on the great intensification of the concern surrounding ninjō. In addition to proposing a new theoretical outlook on the significance of emotion, Licentious Fictions challenges the divide between early modern and modern Japanese literary studies by conceptualizing the nineteenth century as a continuous literary-historical space"--

    Difficulty, ethical teaching, and the yearning for transformation in Wittgenstein's Tractatus and twentieth-century literature -- Wittgenstein's puzzle: the transformative ethics of the Tractatus -- The everyday's fabulous beyond: nonsense, parable, and the ethics of the literary in Kafka and Wittgenstein -- Woolf, Diamond, and the difficulty of reality -- Wittgenstein, Joyce, and the vanishing problem of life -- A new life is a new life: teaching and transformation in Coetzee's Childhood of Jesus. "This innovative critical study reinterprets Ludwig Wittgenstein's philosophy for the study of modernist and contemporary literature and brings Wittgenstein into literary conversations around problems of difficulty, ethical instruction, and the yearning for transformation. Central to Karen Zumhagen-Yekple͹'s book are her critical readings of key modernist texts by Franz Kafka, Virginia Woolf, and James Joyce. Throughout, Zumhagen-Yekplé brings to bear an interpretive framework that she derives from Wittgenstein's gnomic "Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus" (first published in English in 1922, the "annus mirabilis" of modernism), which she treats not as a theory of logic or metaphysics but as a complex mock-theoretical puzzle. The book's final chapter turns to recent fiction by J. M. Coetzee, a living author conscious of his debts both to Wittgenstein and his modernist literary precursors. This book will interest students of literary modernism, Wittgenstein, and the interconnections between fiction and ordinary language philosophy"--

    "Die vorliegenden Untersuchungen beantworten die Frage, wann sich einem fiktionalen Text eine "Moral" zuschreiben lässt. Unter "Moral" wird dabei die Aufforderung verstanden, fiktionale moralische Urteile für wahr zu halten. Solche Aufforderungen werden im vorliegenden Band aus moralischen Urteilssätzen abgeleitet. Diese werden als Suchbefehle verstanden. Und es wird erörtert wie die Befolgung dieser Befehle nach Massgabe utilitarischer Zweckmässigkeitsüberlengungen zum Befund der "Moral" fiktionaler Texte führen kann. Es soll gezeigt werden, dass entsprechende Befunde es nicht nur erlauben, fiktionale Texte zu identifizieren. Als Anleitung zur Gewinnung solcher Befunde wollen die hier unternommenen Bemühungen auch zur rationalen Diskussion der moralischen Beurteilung fiktionaler Werke beitragen." -- Back cover

    Part 1. The Point of Reading -- Justice and Literature; Part 2. Bonds of Justice -- Pity and the Moral Role of Sadness -- Fallen Angels; Coda; Appendix: Compassion and Pity. "Literature and justice are entwined in many other ways. Ancient Greek tragedies are underpinned by discontinuities between human nomos and a more binding dike. Comedies often depend upon justice: the braggart being exposed and shamed, the overly-witty being humbled, the self-assured being rattled. Love plots, too, mobilize justice - as when a true lover suddenly shines, causing a false one to evaporate. The list goes on. When literature gives voice to the marginalized, when it destabilizes power-structures, when it creates imaginary alternatives, when it denaturalizes norms or exposes oppression, the experiences that go into its writing, reading, and interpreting are framed by justice. Conversely, when literature cooperates with the limiting of others, when it belittles oppression, deepens stigmatization, offers entertaining escapism when more committed agency is called for, its shortcomings are failures in relation to justice"--

    "Contemporary African American and Black British Women Writers: Narrative, Race, Ethics brings together British and American scholars to explore how, in texts by contemporary black women writers in the U. S. and Britain, formal narrative techniques express new understandings of race or stimulate ethical thinking about race in a reader. Taken together, the essays also demonstrate that black women writers from both sides of the Atlantic borrow formal structures and literary techniques from one another to describe the workings of structural racism in the daily lives of black subjects and to provoke readers to think anew about race. Narratology has only recently begun to use race as a category of narrative theory. This collection seeks both to show the ethical effects of narrative form on individual readers and to foster reconceptualizations of narrative theory that account for the workings of race within literature and culture"--

    This study traces the connection of infinity and Levinasian ethics in 21st-century fiction. It tackles the paradox of how infinity can be (re-)presented in the finite space between the covers of a book and finds an answer that combines conceptual metaphor theory with concepts from classical narratology and beyond, such as mise en abyme, textual circularity, intertextuality or omniscient narration. It argues that texts with such structures may be conceptualised as infinite via Lakoff and Núñez’s Basic Metaphor of Infinity. The catachrestic transfer of infinity from structure to text means that the texts themselves are understood to be infinite. Taking its cue from the central role of the infinite in Emmanuel Levinas’s ethics, the function of such ‘fictions of infinity’ turns out to be ethical: infinite textuality disrupts reading patterns and calls into question the reader’s spontaneity to interpret. This hypothesis is put to the test in detailed readings of four 21st-century novels, David Mitchell’s Cloud Atlas, Jeanette Winterson’s The Stone Gods, Ian McEwan’s Saturday and John Banville’s The Infinities. This book thus combines ethical criticism with structural aesthetics to uncover ethical potential in fiction

    "Literature and justice are entwined in many other ways. Ancient Greek tragedies are underpinned by discontinuities between human nomos and a more binding dike. Comedies often depend upon justice: the braggart being exposed and shamed, the overly-witty being humbled, the self-assured being rattled. Love plots, too, mobilize justice - as when a true lover suddenly shines, causing a false one to evaporate. The list goes on. When literature gives voice to the marginalized, when it destabilizes power-structures, when it creates imaginary alternatives, when it denaturalizes norms or exposes oppression, the experiences that go into its writing, reading, and interpreting are framed by justice. Conversely, when literature cooperates with the limiting of others, when it belittles oppression, deepens stigmatization, offers entertaining escapism when more committed agency is called for, its shortcomings are failures in relation to justice"--

    "Nineteenth-century Japanese literary discourse and narrative developed a striking preoccupation with ninjō--literally 'human emotion,' but often used in reference to amorous feeling and erotic desire. For many writers and critics, fiction's capacity to foster both licentiousness and didactic values stood out as a crucial source of ambivalence. Simultaneously capable of inspiring exemplary behavior and a dangerous force transgressing social norms, ninjō became a focal point for debates about the role of the novel and a key motor propelling the dynamics of narrative plots. In Licentious Fictions, Daniel Poch investigates the significance of ninjō in defining the literary modernity of nineteenth-century Japan. He explores how cultural anxieties about the power of literature in mediating emotions and desire shaped Japanese narrative from the late Edo through the Meiji period. Poch argues that the Meiji novel, instead of superseding earlier discourses and narrative practices surrounding ninjō, complicated them by integrating them into the new cultural and literary signifiers brought about by Western translation. He offers close readings of a broad array of late Edo- and Meiji-period narrative and critical sources, examining how they shed light on the great intensification of the concern surrounding ninjō. In addition to proposing a new theoretical outlook on the significance of emotion, Licentious Fictions challenges the divide between early modern and modern Japanese literary studies by conceptualizing the nineteenth century as a continuous literary-historical space"-- From ninjō to the ninjōbon : toward the licentious novel -- Questioning the idealist novel : virtue and desire in Nansō Satomi hakkenden -- Translating love in the early Meiji novel : ninjōbon and yomihon in the age of enlightenment -- Historicizing literary reform : shōsetsu shinzui, translation, and the civilizational politics of ninjō -- The novel's failure : Shōyō and the aporia of realism and idealism -- Ninjō and the late Meiji novel : recontextualizing Sōseki's literary project.

    "Terry Pratchett's writing celebrates the possibilities opened up by inventiveness and imagination. It constructs an ethical stance that values informed and self-aware choices, knowledge of the world in which one makes those choices, the importance of play and humor in crafting a compassionate worldview, and acts of continuous self-examination and creation. This collection of essays uses inventiveness and creation as a thematic core to combine normally disparate themes, such as science fiction studies, the effect of collaborative writing and shared authorship, steampunk aesthetics, productive modes of "ownership," intertextuality, neomedievalism and colonialism, adaptations into other media, linguistics and rhetorics, and coming of age as an act of free will. In all Pratchett's constructed worlds and narratives-from Discworld, to the science-fictional flat planet of Strata, from a parody of Conan the Barbarian's Cimmeria to the comedically apocalyptic Good Omens-questions of identity, community, and the relations between self and other are constantly examined, debated, and reshaped. Pratchett's worlds thus become ethical worlds: fantasies in which language always matters, stories resonate with the past and the future, and choices emphasize the importance of compassion and creation."--
