    "Based on his provocative and popular New York Times op-ed, The Man They Wanted Me to Be is both memoir and cultural analysis. Jared Yates Sexton alternates between an examination of his working class upbringing and historical, psychological, and sociological sources that examine the genesis of toxic masculinity and its consequences for society. As progressivism changes American society, and globalism shifts labor away from traditional manufacturing, the roles that have been prescribed to men since the Industrial Revolution have been rendered as obsolete. Donald Trump's campaign successfully leveraged male resentment and entitlement, and now, with Trump as president and the rise of the #MeToo movement, it's clearer than ever what a problem performative masculinity is. Deeply personal and thoroughly researched, The Man They Wanted Me to Be examines how we teach boys what's expected of men in America, and the long term effects of that socialization--which include depression, suicide, misogyny, and, ultimately, shorter lives. Sexton turns his keen eye to the establishment of the racist patriarchal structure which has favored white men, and investigates the personal and societal dangers of such outdated definitions of manhood"--

The Apartheid Era: The Trust in Maps and Guns; Introduction to the Texts; Emptied Landscapes (?) Modern-day Namibian history has largely been shaped by three major eras: German colonial rule, South African apartheid occupation, and the Liberation Struggle. It was, however, not only military conquest that laid the cornerstone for the colony, but also how the colony was imagined, the "dream" of this colony. As a tool of discursive worldmaking, literature has played a major role in providing a framework in which to "dream" Namibia, first from outside its borders, and then from within. In Fictioning Namibia as a Space of Desire, Renzo Baas employs Henri Lefebvre's city-countryside dialectic and reworks it in order to uncover how fictional texts played an integral part in the violent acquisition of a foreign territory. Through the production of myths around whiteness, German and South African authors designed a literary space in which control, destruction, and the dehumanisation of African peoples are understood as a natural order, one that is dictated by history and its linear continuation. These European texts are offset by Namibia's first novel by an African, offering a counter-narrative to the colonial invention that was (German) South West Africa Technologies of Conquest and Domination(De)Constructing the White Male Explorer; 5.

    This is the first book-length study of one of the most prominent and prolific Latino academics, Ilan Stavans. He has written extensively on Latino culture, Jewish culture, dictionaries, immigration, language, Spanglish, soccer, translation, travel, selfies, and God. The Restless Ilan Stavans surveys his interests, achievements, and flaws while he is still in the midst of an extraordinarily productive career. A native of Mexico who became a U.S. citizen, he is an outsider to both the Chicano community that often resents him as an interloper and the American Jewish community that he, who grew up speaking Yiddish in Mexico City, often chides. The book examines his unlikely rise to prominence within the context of the spread of multiculturalism as a seminal principle within American culture. A self-proclaimed cosmopolitan who rejects borders, Stavans is both insider and outsider to the myriad of subjects he approaches

    "Contemporary ideas about race are often assumed to be products of specific locales and histories, and yet we find versions of the same ideas about race across countries and cultures. How can we account for this paradox? In The State of Race, Sze Wei Ang argues that globalization has led to new ways of using racial stereotypes as shorthand for complex social relations in disparate national contexts. Literature then provides a key to understanding these tropes and the role that race has played in shoring up state power since World War II. In an era marked by global economic dependence the nation-state has only become more rather than less central to organizing social life. It does so, Ang argues, via notions and tropes of race that cast human and cultural differences in morally charged terms. Focusing on a series of Asian American and Malaysian texts, Ang tracks the significance of two figures in particular--the model minority and the communist spy. Appearing in novels, politics, and popular culture, these tropes anchor powerful narratives about race, global capital, and state sovereignty. In exploring how two countries that seem not to have much in common--the U.S. and Malaysia--nonetheless share very similar ways of conceptualizing race, Ang sheds light on an emerging global story of value, that is to say, a story of who does and does not have value, in both ethical and economic senses of the term, in the eyes of the state"-- Moral Exemplarity: Morality as Racial Pedagogy -- Moral Deficiency: The Political Uses of Tropes -- Tropes of Insecurity: State Competition and Racial Anxiety -- Tropes of Security: The Global American Dream.

    "In Make It the Same, Jacob Edmond argues that literary change in our age of globalization and digital media is best understood as the process of reframing, remediating, and recontextualizing existing literary and artistic works as opposed to privileging "innovative" or "original" works. Edmond examines how writers over the past fifty years have employed appropriation and media technologies -- tape recorders and typewriters (carbon copies), the Internet and machine-based writing -- as a way to develop new modes of creation and distribution. In looking at examples from a wide range of literatures - Caribbean, Soviet, American, and Chinese - Edmond reveals how copying practices in contemporary poetry have drawn on existing material to challenge and undermine cultural authority by questioning the privileging of conventional understandings of originality. While recognizing the liberatory potential of these practices, Edmond also considers how, in recent years, these practices have been seen to reinforced certain social and racial hierarchies"-- Introduction : the copy as global master trope -- Postcolonial media : Kamau Brathwaite's reel revolution -- The art of Samizdat : Dmitri Prigov, Moscow concpetualism, and the carbon-copy origins of new media poetics -- Making waves in world literature : Yang Lian and John Cayley's networked collaboration -- Shibboleth : the border crossings of Caroline Bergvall, performance writing, and iterative poetics -- Copy rights : conceptual writing, the Mongrel Coalition, and the racial logic of digital media -- Chinese rooms : the work of poetry in the age of global languages, machine translation, and automatic estrangement -- Recapitulations : repetition and revolution in world poetry.

    "Knitting the Fog is a memoir of ten-year-old Claudia, a young Guatemalan girl, whose mother leaves for the United States to escape domestic abuse and pursue economic prosperity. When her mother returns three years later, she and her sisters begin a month-long journey to El Norte.

    Death in modern theatre offers a unique account of modern Western theatre, focusing on the ways in which dramatists and theatre-makers have explored historically informed ideas about death and dying in their work. It investigates the opportunities theatre affords to reflect on the end of life in a compelling and socially meaningful fashion.0In a series of interrelated, mostly chronological, micronarratives beginning in the late nineteenth century and ending in the early twenty-first century, this book considers how and why death and dying are represented at certain historical moments using dramaturgy and aesthetics that challenge audiences' conceptions, sensibilities, and sense-making faculties. It includes a mix of well-known and lesser-known plays from an international range of dramatists and theatre-makers, and offers original interpretations through close reading and performance analysis. -- Front Matter; Dedication; Contents; List of figures; Acknowledgements; Chronology; Introduction: Stages of mortality; Beyond the veil: sensing death in symbolist theatre; Fantastical representations of death in First World War drama; The absurd drama of modern death denial; Theatres of catastrophe after Auschwitz and Hiroshima; The drama of dying in the early twenty-first century; Conclusion: Unending; References; Index

Moving beyond previous scholarship on game theory, game monographs, and period and regional studies on games, this volume analyzes a range of artistic and literary works produced in England, Scotland, Italy, France, and Germany, which used the game topos to illuminate special themes. In essays dealing with chess, playing cards, dice, gambling, and board and children's games, scholars show how games not only functioned as recreational pastimes, but were also used for demonstrations of wit and skill, courtship rituals, didactic and moralistic instruction, commercial enterprises, and displays of status. Offering new iconographical and literary interpretations, these studies reveal how game play became a metaphor for broader cultural issues related to gender, age, and class differences, social order, politics and religion, and ethical and sexual behavior

    Representations of shapeshifters are prominent in medieval culture and they are particularly abundant in the vernacular literatures of the societies around the North Sea. Some of the figures in these stories remain well known in later folklore and often even in modern media, such as werewolves, dragons, berserkir and bird-maidens. Incorporating studies about Old English, Norse, Latin, Irish, and Welsh literature, this collection of essays marks an important new contribution to the study of medieval shapeshifters.00Each essay highlights how shapeshifting cannot be studied in isolation, but intersects with many other topics, such as the supernatural, monstrosity, animality, gender and identity. Contributors to this volume come from different intellectual traditions, embracing a multidisciplinary approach combining influences from literary criticism, history, philology, and anthropology
