    In Thomas Mann's War, Tobias Boes traces how the acclaimed and bestselling author became one of America's most prominent anti-fascists and the spokesperson for a German cultural ideal that Nazism had perverted.Thomas Mann, winner of the 1929 Nobel Prize in literature and author of such world-renowned novels as Buddenbrooks and The Magic Mountain, began his self-imposed exile in the United States in 1938, having fled his native Germany in the wake of Nazi persecution and public burnings of his books. Mann embraced his role as a public intellectual, deftly using his literary reputation and his connections in an increasingly global publishing industry to refute Nazi propaganda. As Boes shows, Mann undertook successful lecture tours of the country and penned widely-read articles that alerted US audiences and readers to the dangers of complacency in the face of Nazism's existential threat. Spanning four decades, from the eve of World War I, when Mann was first translated into English, to 1952, the year in which he left an America increasingly disfigured by McCarthyism, Boes establishes Mann as a significant figure in the wartime global republic of letters

PINKSTER , H.S. VERSNEL , D.M. SCHENKEVELD , P. H. SCHRIJVERS and S.R. SLINGS. This book examines the meaning of justice or dike in the political poems of Solon from a new interpretative perspective. The first two chapters argue that neither standard historical nor literary treatments have provided an adequate foundation for understanding Solon’s dike . The main defect lies in an inability to connect Solon’s concrete political work with his poetic perceptions. The book’s central proposal is that the polis idea, from new classical archaeology, provides an objective standard for an interpretation of Solon’s dike , which remedies this defect. The third chapter sets forth the polis idea, which becomes the measure for an examination, in the final two chapters, of Solon’s view of dike . The book thus exhibits an interdisciplinary approach to Archaic poetry

Negotiating Afropolitanism brings together scholars in African studies from across the world in order to critically examine the representations, transgressions, disruptions, and/or redrawings of borders and spaces in contemporary African literature, culture and folklore. The essays collected here offer innovative and fresh critical perspectives on postcolonial themes within contemporary Africa. Individually they investigate such themes as identity, diaspora, hybridity, translation, the space between, textual frontiers, translocation and multilocalities, migration, nomadology, polylingualism, and multiculturalism. Together they map the rich terrain of culture, literature and folklore in contemporary Africa, from the works of writers such as Idris Chraibi, Wole Soyinka, Ben Okri, E. B. Dongala, Calixthe Beyala, Patrice Nganang, Nuruddin Farah and Abdulrazak Gurnah, to those of Pepetela, Goretti Kyomuhendo, Jamal Mahjoub, Yusuf Dawood, M. G. Vassanji, and J. M. Coetzee, as well as Afrophone oral artists and radio performers. This volume will be of interest to anyone with an interest in African studies, postcolonialism, cultural and literary studies

    Preliminary Material -- Acknowledgements -- Introduction -- Equilibrium and Utility: Measures of Desire -- Spectacles of Consumption: Art and the Industrial Exhibitions -- Baudelaire’s Salon de 1846 and the Education of the Bourgeois Viewer -- Baudelaire after 1848: Towards a Cosmopolitan Aesthetic -- Products of Desire in Les Fleurs du mal -- A Subjectivity of Things: Le Spleen de Paris -- Afterword -- Works Cited -- Index. Ideological debates about economics and aesthetics raged hotly in nineteenth-century France. French political economy was taking shape as a discipline that would support free-market liberalism, while l’art pour l’art theories circulated, and utopian systems with aesthetic and economic agendas proliferated. Yet, as this book argues, the discourses of art and literature worked in tandem with market discourses to generate theories of economic and social order, of the model of the self-individuating and desiring subject of modernity, and of this individual’s relationship to a new world of objects. Baudelaire as a poet and art critic is exemplary: Rather than a disaffected artist, Baudelaire is shown to be a spectator desirous of both art and goods whose sensibilities reflect transformations in habits of perception. The book includes chapters on equilibrium and utility in economic and aesthetic theory, on the place of the aesthetic in press coverage of the industrial exhibitions, on the harmonic theories of Baudelaire’s early art criticism, aimed at a bourgeois audience, on Baudelaire’s radical cosmopolitanism learned through viewing “objects” on display at the Universal Exhibition of 1855, and on Les Fleurs du Mal and Le Spleen de Paris , where language makes visible the traits of a new material world

The 13 essays presented here shed new light on the role of panegyric in the western and eastern Roman Empire in the late antique world. Introductory chapters give an overview of panegyrical theory and practice, followed by studies of major writers of the early empire and the anonymous Panegyrici latini . The core of the volume deals with prose and verse panegyric under the Christian Roman Empire (4th-7th century): key themes addressed are social and political context, the 'hidden agenda', and the impact of Christianity on the pagan tradition of the panegyric, including the portrayal of patriarchs and holy men

Janssen , H. Pinkster , H.W. Pleket , C.J. Ruijgh and P.H. Schrijvers. This is the first thematic study of Statius' Thebaid to be published in monograph form in English in the past twenty years. It examines in detail the thematic design and intent of the Thebaid and considers the question of its contemporary relevance. The book focuses on the central theme of power — how it is exercised on the supernatural and human levels and the consequences of its pursuit and abuse in terms of the human condition. An ensuing discussion explores the political undercurrents of the epic. This discussion is in four main parts: (1) 'Use and Abuse of Supernatural Power'; (2) 'Pursuit and Abuse of Monarchal Power'; (3) 'Consequences of the Abuse of Power'; and (4) 'Political Relevance to Contemporary Rome'. The views expressed represent a fundamental departure from previous studies and constitute a critical reassessment of the Thebaid . The provision of translations makes the book accessible to the Latinless reader

    This book brings together ten contributions from French and foreign specialists whose research and work focus on contemporary Spanish-language literature. They analyse the ways in which certain historical events, violence, memory, and political activism find their way into the narrative device in order to make it politically singular. They explore these relationships in a variety of ways, from an interdisciplinary perspective, at the crossroads of literature, philosophy, cinema and contemporary history. Ce volume qui inaugure la collection Saxifrages interroge et met en relation aussi bien les champs de la poétique, du politique et de l’éthique que le travail de la fiction. Car la fiction, à l’instar de la métaphore vive, désocculte les structures profondes de la réalité auxquelles nous sommes reliés en tant que mortels (Ricœur) et élabore un système d’évidences sensibles qui donne à voir l’existence (Rancière). Le constat d’un retour au réel – voire à une certaine forme de réalisme – dans la littérature contemporaine des dernières décennies réactualise ces réflexions et approches du travail de la fiction et des images en tant qu’objets esthétiques capables de faire sens et de réinventer notre imaginaire politique (Didi­ Huberman). Comment la littérature procède-­t-­elle lorsqu’elle n’est plus censée refléter comme le miroir stendhalien la réalité ? Comment traiter le politique faufilé dans la fiction lorsqu’il ne s’agit plus de le représenter « simplement » ? Car lire le politique, en traquer les traces qui se glissent entre les failles et fissures d’un champ social ou artistique pour œuvrer de l’intérieur en craquelant – comme le font les forces faibles des saxifrages – les systèmes clos et « parfaits », c’est appréhender cette faculté de faire sens, de fictionner. On trouvera réunies ici dix contributions de spécialistes français et étrangers dont la recherche et les travaux portent sur la littérature hispanophone contemporaine. Ils analysent les manières dont certains événements historiques, la violence, la mémoire, l’engagement se faufilent dans le dispositif narratif pour le singulariser politiquement. Ils explorent ces rapports sous des aspects les plus divers, dans une perspective interdisciplinaire, à la croisée de la littérature, la philosophie, le cinéma, l’histoire contemporaine.
