    Neben Literatur und Kunst ist es gerade der Film, in dem die Verschränkung von Stillstand und Dynamik ihren Ausdruck findet, die für die Kultur des osteuropäischen Raums nach 1945 so kennzeichnend ist. In seinen Bildern lässt der osteuropäische Film diese eigentümliche Zeitstruktur ästhetisch erlebbar werden und findet dabei zu jener Poetik der filmischen »Zeit-Bilder« von »toten Zeiten« in »leeren Räumen«, die der französische Philosoph Gilles Deleuze in seinen Filmstudien als Charakteristikum des künstlerisch und politisch avancierten Kinos nach 1945 beschrieben hat. An aus­gewählten Beispielen des osteuropäischen Films gehen die hier versammelten Beiträge diesem Phänomen nach. Vor dem Hintergrund aktueller Medialitätsfragen wird auch die Filmphilosophie von Deleuze diskutiert, die von Problemen sinnlicher Wahrnehmung beherrscht ist und um eine Überwindung der Semiotik ringt.

    Wie ein Mann zog sie in den Krieg und führte die Franzosen zum Sieg – so erzählen sowohl Chroniken, Briefe, Prozess­akten des 15. Jahrhunderts als auch Filme aus allen ­Abschnitten der Kinogeschichte von Jeanne d’Arc. Obwohl die Gender-­Konventionen spätmittelalterlicher Texte ebenso wie des Mainstream-Films bis gegen Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts eine ­kämpferische Heldin nicht vorsehen. Wie kann es sein, dass dennoch immer wieder von Jeanne die Rede ist? Ausgestattet mit Instrumenten aus dem Werkzeugkasten des Michel ­Foucault erkundet Morten Kansteiner die diskursiven Konstellationen, die einer Heldin Rückhalt geben: die Verehrung von Heiligen, Nationalhelden und Stars – Kontexte, die einer aktiven Frauenfigur wachsende Möglichkeiten bieten, aber auch spezifische Beschränkungen auferlegen.

    This book explores how classical and Shakespearean tragedy has shaped the temporality of crisis on the stage and in time-travel films and videogames. In turn, it uncovers how performance and new media can challenge common assumptions about tragic causality and fate. Traditional tragedies may present us with a present when a calamity is staged, a decisive moment in which everything changes. However, modern performance, adaptation and new media can question the premises of that kind of present crisis and its fatality. By offering replays or alternative endings, experimental theatre, adaptation, time travel films and videogames reinvent the tragic experience of irreversible present time. This book offers the reader a fresh understanding of tragic character and agency through these new media’s exposure of the genre’s deep structure. Rebecca Bushnell is the School of Arts and Sciences Board of Overseers Professor of English at the University of Pennsylvania, USA. She has written books on many different subjects, including prophecy in Homer and Sophocles, Renaissance tyrant plays, early modern humanist pedagogy, early English gardening books, and the genre of tragedy Preface -- Chapter 1. Time, Choice, and Consequences in Greek and Shakespearean Tragedy -- Chapter 2. Tragic Adaptation and Performance: Undoing the Play -- Chapter 3.

    In terms of migration, Italy is often thought of as a source country - a place from which people came rather than one to which people go. However, in the past few decades, Italy has indeed become a destination for many people from poor or war-torn countries seeking a better life in a stable environment. Graziella Parati's Migration Italy examines immigration to Italy in the past twenty years, and explores the processes of cultural hybridization that have occurred.Working from a cultural studies viewpoint, Parati constructs a theoretical framework for discussing Italy as a country of immigration. She gives special attention to immigrant literature, positing that it functions as an act of resistance, a means to talk back to the laws that regulate the lives of migrants. Parati also examines Italian cinema, demonstrating how native and non-native filmmakers alike create parallels between old and new migrations, complicating the definitions of sameness and difference.These definitions and the complexities inherent in the different cultural, legal, and political positions of Italy's people are at the heart of Migration Italy, a unique work of immense importance for understanding society in both modern-day Italy and, indeed, the entire European continent.

    Wie wird der Raum eines Films konstituiert? Dieses Buch geht diese Frage von den Grenzen des Films an, überträgt hierfür das Konzept 'Paratext' - von Gérard Genette anhand des Mediums Buch entwickelt - auf den Film und fragt nach den Rahmen des Erzählkinos. Wenn man Paratexte wie den Vorspann fokussiert, bricht die Einheit des Filmtextes auf und Innen- sowie Außenbezüge werden analysierbar. Im besonderen Blickpunkt steht das Konzept der 'Diegese', das den Erzählraum des Films bezeichnet. Vier Analysen post-klassischer Hollywoodfilme der 1990er Jahre führen das Zusammenwirken von Text und Paratext exemplarisch vor.

    Unter welchen Bedingungen kann Authentizität entstehen? Wie wird sie wahrgenommen und warum misst man ihr gegenwärtig so viel Bedeutung bei? Dieser Band fasst mit kritischem Blick die theoretischen Möglichkeiten und Begrenzungen ins Auge, die dem Authentizitäts-Konzept innewohnen. Die Beiträge aus unterschiedlichen geisteswissenschaftlichen Disziplinen bestimmen »Authentizität« als ästhetische wie lebenswirkliche Kategorie, die ihre Relevanz gerade aus einer paradoxen Wechselbeziehung zwischen Essenz und Konstruktion, zwischen Wahrhaftigkeit und Performanz bezieht. Somit liefert die theoretische Betrachtung der Authentizität ein sinnfälliges Beschreibungsmuster für die Epistemologie der Postmoderne - und stellt diese zugleich in Frage.

    1 Introduction: Feeling Men—Emotional Masculine Subjectivities, Ethics, and the Postpaternal -- Part I. Fathers and Sons: Mirroring, Lack, and Masculine Subjectivities -- 2 Narrative Ethics of Care: Folding Fathers, Gifts Given, Subjectivity beyond Mastery -- 3 Ethics of Creation: Copy of the Copy: Sons' Narratives of Feeling of Selfhood -- Part II. The Gentleman Deconstructed -- 4 Ethics of Honour: Post-Gentlemen's Narratives and Affects of Alterity -- 5 Ethics of Proximity: Lack and Dispossession -- 6 Conclusion: Masculinities of Feeling at Matrixial Borderspaces. “Mooney’s gendered approach to twentieth- and twenty-first-century male narratives demonstrates, through an impressively varied global range of authors, that the presumed monolith of Western culture—the Patriarchal Order—is fully porous. Just as something meaningful persists outside the significance of language, something uncanny, mythic, matrixial, operates with an affective power all around the presumably foreclosed fortress of the masculine subject. With admirable dexterity, Mooney blends affect studies, psychoanalysis and feminist narratology (to name only a few) into an astonishing anatomization of the anguished yearning between, among and beyond all the fathers and sons stuck in the amber of our totalized and totalizing understanding of ‘masculinity’.” --Garry Leonard, Professor of English, University of Toronto “The Making and Mirroring of Masculine Subjectivities is a broad-ranging taxonomy of masculinity as a relational and ethical phenomenon, exploring virtually every social and literary role a male character could be expected to assume in the modern and postmodern eras. So what, exactly, is Mooney doing here? Nothing less than reevaluating masculinity in global film and literature. She starts with the most obvious manifestation of patriarchal masculinity (paternity), but quickly juxtaposes it with that other classic masculine narrative pattern (the hero story) that appears to require its protagonist to be self-contained, independent, and all but unencumbered by filial ties. This is a book of remarkable ambition; even more remarkable is how well Mooney achieves what she sets out to do.” --Eliot Borenstein, Professor of Russian and Slavic Studies, New York University This book shows how diverse, critical modern world narratives in prose fiction and film emphasize masculine subjectivities through affects and ethics. Highlighting diverse affects and mental states in subjective voices and modes, modern narratives reveal men as feeling, intersubjective beings, and not as detached masters of master narratives. Modern novels and films suggest that masculine subjectivities originate paradoxically from a combination of copying and negation, surplus and lack, sameness and alterity: among fathers and sons, siblings and others. In this comparative study of more than 30 diverse world narratives, Mooney deftly uses psychoanalytic thought, narrative theories of first- and third-person narrators, and Levinasian and feminist ethics of care, creativity, honor, and proximity. We gain a nuanced picture of diverse postpaternal postgentlemen emerging out of older character structures of the knight and gentleman. Susan Mooney, professor of Comparative Literature at the University of South Florida, USA, is author of The Artistic Censoring of Sexuality: Fantasy and Judgment in the Twentieth-Century Novel (2008).

This book investigates the internationalization of Chinese culture in recent decades and the global dimensions of Chinese culture from comparative and interdisciplinary perspectives. It covers a variety of topics concerning the contemporary significance of Chinese culture in its philosophical, literary and artistic manifestations, including literature, film, performing arts, creative media, linguistics, translations and philosophical ideas. The book explores the reception of Chinese culture in different geographic locations and how the global reception of Chinese culture contrasts with the local Chinese community. The chapters collectively cover gender studies and patriarchal domination in Chinese literature in comparison to the world literature, explorations on translation of Chinese culture in the West, Chinese studies as an academic discipline in the West, and Chinese and Hong Kong films and performances in the global context. The book is an excellent resource for both scholars and students interested in the development of Chinese culture on the global stage in the 21st Century.

    Introduction -- Chapter 1 Memory and Complicity in The Spirit Level and Beowulf -- Chapter 2 When the National Frame of Memory is Insufficient: The Burial At Thebes -- Chapter 3 Elegies for Poets: “Breaking Bread with the Dead” -- Chapter 4 Transnational Memory in District and Circle -- Chapter 5 Family Memory in Human Chain and Aeneid VI -- Coda Remembering Heaney: Nationalist or “Portable” Monuments. Cultural Memory in Seamus Heaney’s Late Work considers the ways that memory functions in Heaney’s poetry. Joanne Piavanini argues that the shaping of collective memory is one of Heaney’s major contributions as a poet. Locating Heaney in a transnational literary sphere, this book argues that his late work isdefined by a type of cosmopolitanism openness: the work moves beyond national identity to explore multiple allegiances and identifications. Moreover, Piavanini demonstrates that memory is a helpful lens to look at Heaney’s late work, in particular, because of the interplay of past, present and future in these works: in the construction of a collective memory of the Troubles; in the use of the elegy to commemorate the passing of important contemporary poets; in his writing on events with transnational significance, such as 9/11; in the slippages between past and present in poems about his family; and through the literary afterlives of texts—specifically, his appropriation of canonical classical texts. Drawing on approaches and concepts from memory studies, Piavanini considers Heaney’s late work to develop an analysis of poetry as a vehicle of memory.

    Chapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: The Lady and Elaine: Medieval Literature and Victorian Adaptation -- Chapter 3: Singing Her Own Song: The Lady/Elaine in Music -- Chapter 4: "She hath a lovely face": The Lady/Elaine in Art -- Chapter 5: Patterns and Parody: The Lady/Elaine in Literature -- Chapter 6: Reading and Resisting: The Lady/Elaine in Young People's Literature -- Chapter 7: Desire and Art: The Lady/Elaine in Historical Fiction and Fantasy -- Chapter 8: Postscript. . This book investigates adaptations of The Lady of Shalott and Elaine of Astolat in Victorian and post-Victorian popular culture to explore their engagement with medievalism, social constructions of gender, and representations of the role of art in society. Although the figure of Elaine first appeared in medieval texts, including Malory’s Le Morte Darthur, Tennyson’s poems about the Lady and Elaine drew unprecedented response from musicians, artists, and other authors, whose adaptations in some cases inspired further adaptations. With chapters on music, art, and literature (including parody, young people’s literature, and historical fiction and fantasy), this book seeks to trace the evolution of these characters and the ways in which they reinforce or challenge conventional gender roles, represent the present’s relationship to the past, and highlight the power of art. .

Criminal Things: Sherlock Holmes’ Details of Detection and Their Neo-Victorian Revisions -- 10. The Sleight of Hand: Appearance and Disappearance of Things in Neo-Victorian Magic. Neo-Victorian Things: Re-Imagining Nineteenth-Century Material Cultures in Literature and Film is the first volume to focus solely on the replication, reconstruction, and re-presentation of Victorian things. It investigates the role of materiality in contemporary returns to the past as a means of assessing the function of things in remembering, revisioning, and/or reimagining the nineteenth century. Examining iterations of material culture in literature, film and popular television series, this volume offers a reconsideration of nineteenth-century things and the neo-Victorian cultural forms that they have inspired, animated, and even haunted. By turning to new and relatively underexplored strands of neo-Victorian materiality—including opium paraphernalia, slave ships, clothing, and biographical objects—and interrogating the critical role such objects play in reconstructing the past, this volume offers ways of thinking about how mis/apprehensions of material culture in the nineteenth century continue to shape our present understanding of things.

    Human-Human and Human-Animal Relations -- Gender and Diversity -- Aspects of Cultural Heritage -- Iconic Characters and Narratives -- Immersive Experience, Reflexive Engagement. Disney – This name stands not only for a company that has had global reach from its early days, but also for a successful aesthetic programme and ideological positions that have had great commercial success but at the same time have been frequently criticised. Straddling traditionalism and modernism, Disney productions have proven adaptable to social discourses and technical and media developments throughout its history. This volume brings together scholars from several European countries to explore various dimensions that constitute ‘Disney.’ In line with current media and cultural studies research, the chapters deal with human-human and human-animal relations, gender and diversity, iconic characters and narratives, Disney’s contribution to cultural and visual heritage, and transmedial and transfictional spaces of experience and practices of participation associated with Disney story worlds.

    1. Introduction -- 2. Synopsis -- 3. Cyberpunk Previsions and Literary Influences -- 4. The Frankenstein Riff -- 5. Architectures of Psyche, Power and Patriarchy -- 6. Speaking in Gutter Tongues -- 7. Coda. . In this comprehensive study of The Stars My Destination, D. Harlan Wilson makes a case for the continued significance of Alfred Bester’s SF masterwork, exploring its distinctive style, influences, intertextuality, affect, and innovation as well as its extensive metafictional properties. In Stars, Bester established himself as a son of the pulp-SF and high-modernist writers that preceded him and a forefather to the New Wave and cyberpunk movements that followed his lead. Wilson’s study depicts Bester as an SF insider as much as an outlier, writing in the spirit of the genre but breaking with the fixation on hard science in favor of psychological interiority, literary experimentation, and adult themes. The book combines close-readings of the novel with broader concerns about contemporary media, technoculture, and the current state of SF itself. In Wilson’s view, SF is a moribund artform, and Stars foresaw the inevitable science fictionalization of our benighted world. With scholarly lucidity and precision, Wilson shows us that Stars pointed the way to what we have (un)become. D. Harlan Wilson is an American novelist, playwright, editor, critic, and Professor of English at the Lake Campus of Wright State University, USA. He is the author of over 30 book-length works of fiction and nonfiction.

    1. Introduction -- 2. Mapping Horror -- 3. The Frontier -- 4. Domestic Horrors -- 5. Small Town Heterotopias -- 6. Urban Nightmares. This book provides a comprehensive reading of a space/place-based experience from the birth of the American horror genre (nineteenth century American Romanticism) to its rise and evolution in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Exploring a series of narratives, this study focuses on the role of space and place as key elements for successful articulation of horror. The analysis, therefore, employs different theoretical premises and concepts belonging to human geography, which, while being part of the larger discipline of geography, predominantly directs its attention towards the presence and activities of humans. By connecting such theoretical readings with the continuously evolving American horror genre, this book offers a unique insight into the academically unexplored trans-disciplinary spatially based reading of the genre. Marko Lukić is Associate Professor atthe English Department at the University of Zadar, Croatia, where he teaches courses onAmerican literature, gothic and horror genre, popular culture, and cultural theory. His research interests include American popular culture, human geography and spatiality in literature and film, and the contemporary horror genre. He is the Editor in Chief of [sic] – A Journal of Literature, Culture and Literary Translation, Conference Director of the international conference Re-Thinking Humanities and Social Sciences, and the co-founder of the Centre for Research in Social Sciences and Humanities.

Soviet and Post-Soviet References to Hamlet on Film and Television. Allusions to Shakespeare haunt our contemporary culture in a myriad of ways, whether through brief references or sustained intertextual engagements. Shakespeare’s plays and motifs have been appropriated in fragmentary forms onstage and onscreen since motion pictures were invented in 1893. This collection of essays extends beyond a US-UK axis to bring together an international group of scholars to explore Shakespearean appropriations in unexpected contexts in lesser-known films and television shows in India, Brazil, Russia, France, Australia, South Africa, East-Central Europe and Italy, with reference to some filmed stage works. Alexa Alice Joubin is founding Co-Director of the Digital Humanities Institute and Professor of English, Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies, Theatre, East Asian Languages and Literatures, and International Affairs at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., USA. Her latest book is Shakespeare and East Asia (2021). Victoria Bladen teaches literary studies and adaptation at the University of Queensland, Australia. Her latest book is The Tree of Life and Arboreal Aesthetics in Early Modern Literature (2021).

In this way, the book brings a sophisticated analysis rooted in disability studies to the examination of amputation as a signifier and as a material reality.” —Sarah E. Chinn, Hunter College, CUNY, USA Amputation in Literature and Film: Artificial Limbs, Prosthetic Relations, and the Semiotics of “Loss” explores the many ways in which literature and film have engaged with the subject of amputation. The scholars featured in this volume draw upon a wide variety of texts, both lesser-known and canonical, across historical periods and language traditions to interrogate the intersections of disability studies with social, political, cultural, and philosophical concerns. Whether focusing on ancient texts by Zhuangzi or Ovid, renaissance drama, folktales collected by the Brothers Grimm, novels or silent film, the chapters in this volume highlight the dialectics of “loss” and “gain” in narratives of amputation to encourage critical dialogue and forge an integrated, embodied understanding of experiences of impairment in which mind and body, metaphor and materiality, theory and politics are considered as interrelated and interacting aspects of disability and ability.

Not only is this book indispensable for courses on Arab cinema, it will undoubtedly prompt new routes of inquiry for researchers, teachers, and viewers alike." — Peter Limbrick, University of California-Santa Cruz, USA “Cinema of the Arab World fills gaps in the literature and re-envisions the ways in which Arab cinema has been looked at previously. It succeeds by avoiding conforming to the stereotypical molds that guide some scholarship about the region. The mix of established scholars as well as young researchers, and the inclusion of different philosophical and critical theories and methodologies, make this book indispensable to anyone interested in understanding contemporary Arab cinema. Highly recommended." — Orayb Najjar, Northern Illinois University, USA This volume engages new films and modes of scholarly research in Arab cinema, and older, often neglected films and critical topics, while theorizing their structural relationship to contemporary developments in the Arab world. The volume considers the relationship of Arab cinema to transnational film production, distribution, and exhibition, in turn recontextualizing the works of acknowledged as well as new directorial figures, and country-specific phenomena. New documentary and experimental practices are referenced and critiqued, while commercial cinema is covered both as an industrial product and as one of several instances of contestation. The volume thus showcases the breadth and depth of Arab film culture and its multilayered connections to local conditions, regional affiliations, and the tendencies and aesthetics of global cinema.

Streaming from the Past: Magical Realism as Postmodern Fairy Tale, Dana Del George. The Palgrave Handbook of Magical Realism in the Twenty-First Century examines magical realism in literatures from around the globe. Featuring twenty-seven essays written by leading scholars, this anthology argues that literary expressions of magical realism proliferate globally in the twenty-first century due to travel and migrations, the shrinking of time and space, and the growing encroachment of human life on nature. In this global context, magical realism addresses twenty-first century politics, aesthetics, identity, and social/national formations where contact between and within cultures has exponentially increased, altering how communities and nations imagine themselves. This text assembles a group of critics throughout the world—the Americas, Europe, Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and Australia—who employ multiple theoretical approaches to examine the different ways magical realism in literature has transitioned to a global practice; thus, signaling a new stage in the history and development of the genre. .

    Chapter One. Who Knows, Who Cares, and Why Bother -- Chapter Two. H(a)unting the Archives -- Chapter Three. Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Lesbian Sex* *But Only in Historical Fiction -- Chapter Four. Tomboys and Indians -- Chapter Five. Unsafe Seas for Women -- Chapter Six. The Usual Suspects -- Epilogue: Failing That, Invent. “With wit and verve, Linda Garber shows how lesbian historical fiction fills in the lacunae that the imagination craves—and that historians, limited to documented evidence, cannot produce... a wonderfully entertaining read." --Lillian Faderman, author of Surpassing the Love of Men, Odd Girls and Twilight Lovers, and To Believe in Women “Garber captures the urgent need we have to find our woman-loving selves in the past, in a crisp lesbian literary history full of pride, passion, and charm. At the same time, she calls to account the places where the work has been inauthentic. You'll finish Garber's book clutching a very long fiction reading list!” --Jewelle Gomez, author of The Gilda Stories “A study of the fascinating genre of lesbian historical fiction is long overdue, and Garber’s is insightful and highly readable.” --Emma Donohue, author of Room, The Pull of the Stars, Life Mask, and The Sealed Letter Novel Approaches to Lesbian History tells a tale about history and community in our allegedly post-identity era, examining contemporary novels that depict lesbian characters in recognizable historical situations. These imaginative stories provide a politically vital, speculative past in the face of a sketchy, problematic archive. Among the memorable characters in some 200 novels are pirates, cowgirls, and famous artists, ghosts and time travellers, immigrants and lovers. The best lesbian historical novels are conscientious and buoyant as they engage critical historiographical questions, but Novel Approaches also discusses the class and race biases that weigh on the genre. Some lesbian historical novels are based on archival evidence, others on conjecture or fantasy, but all convey the true fact that identity is elusive without a past, without which its future is nearly impossible. Linda Garber is the author of Identity Poetics: Race, Class, and the Lesbian-Feminist Roots of Queer Theory and Lesbian Sources: A Bibliography of Periodical Articles, and the editor of Tilting the Tower: Lesbians/Teaching/Queer Subjects. She is Associate Professor of Women's and Gender Studies at Santa Clara University, USA.

    Chapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: Devouring Shakespeare: Cuba, Cannibalism, and Caliban -- Chapter 3: Revolution, Repentismo, and Romeo and Juliet: Consuming Texts / Nourishing Community -- Chapter 4: Race and Revolution in Tomás González’s Othello adaptations: “of the cannibals that each other eat” -- Chapter 5: Ophelia Eats the Air: Consuming Voices in Piel de Violetas -- Chapter 6: Shakespeare as Cultural Bridge: Incorporating the Other. Shakespeare in Cuba: Caliban’s Books explores how Shakespeare is consumed and appropriated in Cuba. It contributes to the underrepresented field of Latin American Shakespeares by applying the lens of cultural anthropophagy, a theory with Latin American roots, to explore how Cuban artists ingest and transform Shakespeare’s plays. By consuming these works and incorporating them into Cuban culture and literature, Cuban writers make the plays their own while also nourishing the source texts and giving Shakespeare a new afterlife. Donna Woodford-Gormley is a Professor of English Literature at New Mexico Highlands University, USA. She has been researching and writing on Shakespeare in Cuba since 2004, and she has published several articles and book chapters on this subject.

The Work of Reading: Literary Criticism in the 21st Century is a sustained critical examination of the developments in the field of literary studies from the early 2000s onwards within the context of the systematic problems in the humanities. This volume analyzes the origins of the current methods—including New Historicism, empiricism, New Formalism, postcritique, and others—and posits alternatives to the present state of literary studies. At a time when many aspects of current methods show a desire to adopt values from other disciplines to solve internal crises, this volume advocates a renewed focus on questions of form by means of the praxis of aesthetic study, close reading, and other modes of engaging directly with literary texts.

    Preface (Pamela K. Gilbert) -- 1 How to Do Things with Surfaces: The Politics and Poetics of Victorian surfaces (Sibylle Baumbach and Ulla Ratheiser) -- 2 The Semantics of Surfaces: Victorian Panoramas and the Panoramic Gaze (Heidi Liedke) -- 3 Twinship and Tactile Anxieties in Wilkie Collins’s Poor Miss Finch (1872) (Wieland Schwanebeck) -- 4 Touching Skins, Spreading Stains: Contesting, Affirming and Penetrating Surfaces in the Work of Thomas Hardy (Felicitas Meifert-Meinhard) -- 5 Dickens’ Dirty Children (Franziska Quabeck) -- 6 Gothic Cloth: Textures of the Unknown (Sophia Jochem and Cordula Lemke) -- 7 Imperial Hauntings in the Durbar Room: Spurious Materiality in Neo-Victorian Biopics (Jan Rupp) -- 8 “Red-hot applications on their vile skins.” Ironic Transparency in Joseph Conrad’s The Secret Agent (Eike Kronshage) -- 9 Making Skin Legible: Surface and Symptomatic Readings of Victorian Culture (Monika Pietzrak-Franger) -- 10 Afterword (Kate Flint). This volume explores the politics and poetics of Victorian surfaces in their manifold manifestations. In so doing, it examines various cultural products ‘as they are’ and highlights the art of surface composition in the Victorian era as well as the socio-cultural ramifications of the preoccupation with the exterior. By closely reading the various surfaces materialising in Victorian literature and culture, the individual contributions explore the dialectics of surface and depth in Victorian (and Neo-Victorian) cultures as well as the legibility of surfaces. They look into the surfaces of literary narratives, paintings, and film but also into natural surfaces such as skin or bark. Each chapter foregrounds what is present rather than absent in a text, while also paying attention to the surfaces that become manifest on the diegetic level of the text, be they cloth, landscapes, or human bodies or faces.
