    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).

    Introduction -- “[T]he rightful due of a successful man”: Claiming Desert in Almayer’s Folly and An Outcast of the Islands -- “A Manifestation of a Deep, Inborn Inherited Instinct”: Instabilities of Self-Making in Lord Jim -- Nostromo’s Great Expectations -- “[E]ntitled to Undisputed Success”: Professional Being vs. Doing in The Secret Agent -- The Moral Work of Affirming Inheritances in Under Western Eyes and Victory. This book focuses on the complex relationships between inheritance, work, and desert in literature. It shows how, from its manifestation in the trope of material inheritance and legacy in Victorian fiction, “inheritance” gradually took on additional, more modern meanings in Joseph Conrad’s fiction on work and self-making. In effect, the emphasis on inheritance as referring to social rank and wealth acquired through birth shifted to a focus on talent, ability, and merit, often expressed through work. The book explores how Conrad’s fiction engaged with these changing modes of inheritance and work, and the resulting claims of desert they led to. Uniquely, it argues that Conrad’s fiction critiques claims of desert arising from both work and inheritance, while also vividly portraying the emotional costs and existential angst that these beliefs in desert entailed. The argument speaks to and illuminates today’s debates on moral desert arising from work and inheritance, in particular from meritocratic ideals. Its new approach to Conrad’s works will appeal to students and scholars of Conrad and literary modernism, as well as a wider audience interested in philosophical and social debates on desert deriving from inheritance and work.

Chapter 4: How Traditional Chinese Fiction Entered World Literature Anthologies -- 6. Chapter 5: Researching Traditional Chinese Fiction in the English-speaking World: Translations and Critiques of Jin Ping Mei. 7. Conclusion. . This book develops interdisciplinary and comparative approaches to analyzing the cross-cultural travels of traditional Chinese fiction. It ties this genre to issues such as translation, world literature, digital humanities, book culture, and images of China. Each chapter offers a case study of the historical and cultural conditions under which traditional Chinese fiction has traveled to the English-speaking world, proposing a critical lens that can be used to explain these cross-cultural encounters. The book seeks to identify connections between traditional Chinese fiction and other cultures that create new meanings and add to the significance of reading, teaching, and studying these classical novels and stories in the English-speaking world. Scholars, students, and general readers who are interested in traditional Chinese fiction, translation studies, and comparative and world literature will find this book useful. Junjie Luo is Associate Professor of Asian Studies at Gettysburg College, USA. His essays on translation and transnational studies of traditional Chinese literature have appeared in Comparative Literature Studies, Perspectives: Studies in Translation Theory and Practice, ISLE, and Translation Quarterly, as well as in the edited volumes Historic Engagements with Occidental Cultures, Religions, Power (2014) and Philosophy as World Literature (2020).

    This volume approaches literary representations of post and neocolonialism by combining their readings with respective theoretical configurations. The aim is to cast light upon common characteristics of contemporary texts from around the world that deal with processes of colonization. Based on the epistemic discourses of postimperialism/postcolonialism, globalization, and world literature, the volume’s chapters bring together international scholars from various disciplines in the Humanities, including Comparative Cultural Studies, Slavic, Romance, German, and African Studies. The main concern of the contributions is to conceptualize an autonomous category of a world literature of the colonial, going well beyond established classifications according to single languages or center-periphery dichotomies. Target Groups Lecturers and students of English, Slavic and German Philologies as well as Comparative Literature Specialists in Comparative and Cultural Studies, Postcolonial Studies and World Literature Studies Contents Literary History of the Colonial World Literature and Postcolonialism African Literatures and Afropolitanism Literary Traffic Transculturality The Editor Elke Sturm-Trigonakis is Professor of Comparative Literature at the Aristotle University in Thessaloniki/Greece and author of monographs and volumes concerning the concept of new Weltliteratur. Her research interests include (multilingual) world literature, postcolonialism, the picaresque novel, urban and crime fiction, and knowledge systems in the Humanities.

    1. Introduction -- 2. Wordsworth, Humphry Davy, and the Forms of Nature -- 3. Quotation and the Rhetoric of Experiment -- 4. Words and Things in the Periodical Press -- 5. Tennyson’s Sounds -- 6. Mathilde Blind: Rhythm, Energy, and Revolution -- 7. Hardy’s Measures. Poetical Matter examines the two-way exchange of language and methods between nineteenth-century poetry and the physical sciences. The book argues that poets such as William Wordsworth, Mathilde Blind, and Thomas Hardy identified poetry as an experimental investigation of nature’s materiality. It also explores how science writers such as Humphry Davy, Mary Somerville, and John Tyndall used poetry to formulate their theories, to bestow cultural legitimacy on the emerging disciplines of chemistry and physics, and to communicate technical knowledge to non-specialist audiences. The book’s chapters show how poets and science writers relied on a set of shared terms (“form,” “experiment,” “rhythm,” “sound,” “measure”) and how the meaning of those terms was debated and reimagined in a range of different texts.

    Das Problem und seine Hintergründe -- Vorgehensweise & Analysemethoden -- Die Untersuchung der Leser: „Lebensgeschichte ist Lesegeschichte“ -- Die Literaturperspektive -- Medientheorien Revisited -- Schlussfolgerung & Ausblick. . Obwohl jeder Lebensbereich von digitalen Prozessen durchdrungen ist, scheint sich die Mehrheit der Deutschen bezüglich der Tätigkeit Lesen gegen digitale Alternativen zu wehren. Das gedruckte Buch genießt weiterhin wesentlich stärkere Beliebtheit als das eBook. Das erscheint verwunderlich, da sich doch das gesamte Kommunikationsverhalten auf digitale Geräte ausgelagert hat. Was also liegt dahinter? Wieso gibt es in digitalen Zeiten immer noch gedruckte Bücher? Bisherige Untersuchungen des gedruckten Buchs konzentrierten sich primär auf seine mediale Zukunft, da diese durch die Digitalisierung bedroht schien. Janina Krieger untersucht in dieser Arbeit stattdessen die Vergangenheit aus drei Perspektiven, um Erkenntnisse über die Gegenwart gewinnen zu können. Während andere Studien stets eine Methode wählten und diese meist dem quantitativen Vorgehen zugehörig waren, werden hier drei Subjekte identifiziert, die mit unterschiedlichen Methoden untersucht werden und in ihrer Kombination eine Antwort auf die Forschungsfrage liefern können: die Konsumenten von Literatur (die Leser), die Literatur selbst (ausgewähltes Genre ist der Roman) sowie die Medientheorien des 20. Jahrhunderts, die sich mit dem Medienwandel bereits auseinandergesetzt haben. Die Autorin Janina Krieger hat an der Universität Mannheim im Fach Germanistische Literatur- und Medienwissenschaft promoviert.

    Einleitung -- Leben -- Werke -- Kontexte -- Wirkung. Der Wiener Publizist Karl Kraus (1874–1936) war eine zentrale Figur der europäischen Moderne. Sein monumentales Werk umfasst nicht nur Essays, Aphorismen, Gedichte und Dramen, erschienen großteils auf den tausenden Seiten seiner Zeitschrift Die Fackel, sondern auch hunderte Vorlesungen, Radiosendungen, Plakatkampagnen und Rechtsfälle. Er prägte seine Zeit ebenso, wie sie ihn prägte, etwa in dem Antikriegsdrama Die letzten Tage der Menschheit und der Dritten Walpurgisnacht, seiner frühen Analyse des Nationalsozialismus. Die Kraus’sche Medienkritik, sein präzises Sprachdenken und aufklärerischer Witz haben das kritische Denken weltweit beeinflusst und zeigen bis heute, was es heißt, ein öffentlicher Akteur zu sein.

    1. Introduction -- 2. Janus-Faced Arguments: Beckett’s Interwar Essays and Other Self-Divided Defenses of Modernism -- 3. Impossible Anti-values: Beckett’s Postwar Writing and the Self-defeating Pursuit of Absolute Loss -- 4. Slippery Self-commentaries: Avant-garde Celebrity from Dream to Endgame -- 5. Staged Compromises: Anticipating Appropriation from Eleutheria to Havel to Catastrophe. 6. Re-targeting Modernist Failure. Samuel Beckett’s work is littered with ironic self-reflexive comments on presumed audience expectations that it should ultimately make explicable sense. An ample store of letters and anecdotes suggests Beckett’s own preoccupation with and resistance to similar interpretive mindsets. Yet until now such concerns have remained the stuff of scholarly footnotes and asides. Beckett’s Imagined Interpreters and the Failures of Modernism addresses these issues head-on and investigates how Beckett’s ideas about who he writes for affect what he writes. What it finds speaks to current understandings not only of Beckett’s techniques and ambitions, but also of modernism’s experiments as fundamentally compromised challenges to enshrined ways of understanding and organizing the social world. Beckett’s uniquely anxious audience-targeting brings out similarly self-doubting strategies in the work of other experimental twentieth-century writers and artists in whom he is interested: his corpus proves emblematic of a modernism that understands its inability to achieve transformative social effects all at once, but that nevertheless judiciously complicates too-neat distinctions drawn within ongoing culture wars. For its re-evaluations of four key points of orientation for understanding Beckett’s artistic ambitions—his arch critical pronouncements, his postwar conflations of value and valuelessness, his often-ambiguous self-commentary, and his sardonic metatheatrical play—as well as for its running dialogue with wider debates around modernism as a social phenomenon, this book is of interest to students and researchers interested in Beckett, modernism, and the relations between modern and contemporary artistic and social developments. Nick Wolterman is an independent scholar based in York, UK. He received his PhD in English and Related Literature from the University of York. .

They also examine the larger social and political stakes in articulating ideas of world literature in the intellectual interplay between philology, anthropology, law, and the ecohumanities.

This book examines organizations of consumerist economics, which developed at the turn of the twentieth century in the West and at the turn of the twenty-first century in China, in relation to modernist poetics. Consumerist economics include the artificial “person” of the corporation, the vertical integration of production, and consumption based upon desire as well as necessity. This book assumes that poetics can be understood as a theory in practice of how a world works. Tracing the relation of economics to poetics, the book analyzes the impersonality of indirect discourse in Qian Zhongshu and James Joyce; the impressionist discourses of Mang Ke and Ezra Pound; and discursive difficulty in Mo Yan and William Faulkner. Bringing together two notably distinct cultures and traditions, this book allows us to comprehend modernism as a theory in practice of lived experience in cultures organized around consumption. Tiao Wang is Associate Professor of English Language and Literature at the School of Foreign Languages, Harbin Institute of Technology, China. She has published 23 articles, 9 of which are in English, focused on American and European modernism.

    Einleitung -- Und welch ein Hochgenuß, so hinauszuziehen in Berg und Wald – Emotionen und Wildtiere in Ludwig Ganghofers Jagdgeschichten -- Hier ist immer was los – Ökologische Wildtierpoesie und Emotionen in Hermann Löns Tier- und Jagdgeschichten -- Felix Salten – Emotionen in einer tierlichen Lebensgeschichte -- Ich bin Mario, der Herr im Wald. Emotionen und Wildtiere in Waldemar Bonsels Mario und die Tiere (1928) -- Humanimale Emotionen bei Otto Alscher -- Synthese und Konklusion. Anhand von Werken von Ludwig Ganghofer, Hermann Löns, Felix Salten, Waldemar Bonsels und Otto Alscher, die zwischen 1900 und 1943 erschienen sind und in denen die Jagd zentral ist, widmet sich dieser Band der Rolle und der Darstellung von Emotionen in den Beziehungen zwischen Menschen und Wildtieren. Dabei wird die Überschneidung neuerer Emotionsforschung mit den Cultural and Literary Animal Studies erprobt. Es wird gezeigt, dass Wildtiere zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts im Zeichen von Wandel standen. Manche Texte spiegeln eine Abschwächung des Anthropozentrismus. Wildtiere werden verstärkt in ihrer Bedrohung sowie als individuelle Persönlichkeiten mit eigenen Ausdrucksmitteln dargestellt. Ihre subtile Gefühlswelt stellt die Exklusivität des Menschlichen in Frage. Hingegen mischt sich Ambivalenz unter die Emotionen von Jägern und Jagd. Hervorgehoben wird diese Tendenz durch das Aufzeigen narrativer Perspektivverschiebung zu den Tieren, der Poetisierung von Emotionen sowie materiell-semiotischer Mensch-Tier-Verknüpfungen. Über den historischen Rahmen der Textauswahl hinaus sensibilisiert dieses Buch für eine weitläufigere Reflexion über die Prekarität von Wildtieren unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der ethischen Dimension von Emotionen. Der Autor Stefan Hecht ist wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter der Forschungsgruppe Mondes germaniques et nord-européens an der Universität Straßburg.

    Einleitung: Der Anspruch der Literatur -- Das Leben (mit) der Sprache -- Philosophie als Bekenntnis. Cavells Wittgenstein -- Vom Drama der Anerkennung zur Tragödie der Theatralität -- Die Unheimlichkeit des Gewöhnlichen -- Gedanken Lesen -- Schweigen im Walde? Cavells Walden -- Stimme und Signatur des Denkens -- Die weibliche Stimme im Hollywood-Melodrama -- ‚Einmal ist kein Mal.‘ Hochzeit als Lebensform -- Schluss: ‚Reading (as if) for life.‘. Skeptizismus – das ist die Konfrontation des Menschen nicht mit der Unzulänglichkeit seines Wissens, sondern mit der Endlichkeit seines Lebens. Mit dieser Neu-Interpretation eines erkenntnistheoretischen Grundproblems hat der amerikanische Denker Stanley Cavell nicht nur der Philosophie, sondern auch der Literatur-, Kultur- und Medienwissenschaft neue Wege gewiesen. Die vorliegende Arbeit erschließt Cavells Werk in seinem systematischen Zusammenhang. Sie legt den Schwerpunkt auf seine Essays zur Literatur und trägt so dem eigentümlichen Begriff Cavells von der Philosophie als einer Praxis der engagierten Lektüre Rechnung. Cavells Arbeiten werden damit als inspirierender Beitrag zu einer Poethik der Lebensform gewürdigt.

    1. Introduction—The Invention of China in Early Modern England -- 2. Utopian Sinophilism in Early Modern England -- 3. “This Lov’d Golgotha”: The China Trade in Early Modern England -- 4. Aftershocks: Changing China -- 5. Conclusions and Reflections. The Invention of China in Early Modern England describes how several different English communities became aware of China. It begins by describing how early modern intellectuals used the utopian ideal of China to license all kinds of progressive innovation before chronicling how England’s growing commerce in southeast Asia radically changed China’s representation in the English discourse community. For the new community of English merchants proposing to trade in Chinese goods, China became the seminal example in the growing discourse community of English Orientalism. It was an absolute or arbitrary authoritarian state, associated with crooked business dealings, and cloaked in a rhetoric of secrecy and exclusion—a dangerous exception to the traditions, values, and identities of the emergent English speaking states. Finally, the book points out some of the ways that contemporary English language sources continue to represent this early modern English thought tradition, labelling the complexities of modern China with analytical vocabulary perhaps better suited to the pressing political anxieties of the seventeenth century. .

    1. Introduction: Terrorist Fiction, Terrorism Studies, and Postcritique -- 2. Conrad’s Anarchist Tales -- 3. The Secret Agent: Terrorists and Counterterrorists -- 4. Under Western Eyes: Revolutionists and Informers -- 5. Conclusion: Reading Conrad Now. “Drawing extensively on contemporary research in Terrorism Studies, Joyce Wexler sheds new light on Conrad’s understanding of the complications and contradictions of this controversial topic. She convincingly demonstrates that many of the disputes about how to read his works reflect disagreements about terrorism—and that more often than not Conrad was right, and his critics wrong. Teachers and students will find this a useful book for many reasons—for the information it provides about Terrorism Studies, for the perspectives it offers on Conrad’s relevance for issues of contemporary concern, for Wexler’s thorough, up-to-date accounts of the Conrad criticism, and for her sensible, detailed readings of often-taught texts.” --Paul Armstrong, Professor of English, Brown University, USA This book explores how the anarchist fiction of Joseph Conrad can help us understand terrorism today. Conrad undermines the popular view that terrorists are fanatics. He portrays anarchists and police as counterparts driven by the human desires for autonomy and affiliation, the need to control their own lives and to be part of a group. Postcritique encourages readers to consider the accuracy of such information, and research in Terrorism Studies confirms Conrad’s insights: his characters are more realistic and his political stance is more hopeful than critics have recognized. Joyce Wexler is Professor Emerita of English at Loyola University Chicago, USA. She is President of the Joseph Conrad Society of America. Her publications include Joseph Conrad and Postcritique (co-edited with Jay Parker), Violence Without God, Who Paid for Modernism, and Laura Riding’s Pursuit of Truth.

Living in Two Separate Worlds: The Feral Detective, The City and The City, and the Problem of Relativism -- 7. The United States of V, White, and Q. Truth to Post-Truth in American Detective Fiction examines questions of truth and relativism, turning to detectives, both real and imagined, from Poe’s C. Auguste Dupin to Robert Mueller, to establish an oblique history of the path from a world where not believing in truth was unthinkable to the present, where it is common to believe that objective truth is a remnant of a simpler, more naïve time. Examining detective stories both literary and popular including hard-boiled, postmodern, and twenty-first century novels, the book establishes that examining detective fiction allows for a unique view of this progression to post-truth since the detective’s ultimate job is to take the reader from doubt to belief. David Riddle Watson shows that objectivity is intersubjectivity, arguing that the belief in multiple worlds is ultimately what sustains the illusion of relativism.

    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.

    Chapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: Cognitive Grammar and Style -- Chapter 3: Creativity, Embodiment and Context -- Chapter 4: Proximity -- Chapter 5: Trauma -- Chapter 6: Blame -- Chapter 7: Revision -- Chapter 8: Conclusion. . This book presents a cognitive stylistic analysis of the writing of Siegfried Sassoon, a First World War poet who has typically been perceived as a poet of protest and irony, but whose work is in fact multi-faceted and complex in theme and shifted in style considerably throughout his lifetime. The author starts from the premise that a more systematic account of Sassoon’s style is possible using the methodology of contemporary stylistics, in particular Cognitive Grammar. Using this as a starting point, he revisits common ideas from Sassoon scholarship and reconfigures them through the lens of cognitive stylistics to provide a fresh perspective on Sassoon's style. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of stylistics, war poetry, twentieth-century literature, and cognitive linguistics. Marcello Giovanelli is Reader in Literary Linguistics and Head of English, Languages and Applied Linguistics at Aston University, UK. He teaches on undergraduate modules in stylistics, cognitive poetics and English literature and supervises doctoral students working on topics in cognitive stylistics. He has previously published on both the work of Siegfried Sassoon and on stylistic applications of Cognitive Grammar. .

In various ways, Chinese diasporic communities seek to connect and re-connect with their “homelands” in literature, film, and visual culture. The essays in Affective Geographies and Narratives of Chinese Diaspora examine how diasporic bodies and emotions interact with space and place, as well as how theories of affect change our thinking of diaspora. Questions of borders and border-crossing, not to mention the public and private spheres, in diaspora literature and film raise further questions about mapping and spatial representation and the affective and geographical significance of the push-and-pull movement in diasporic communities. The unique experience is represented differently by different authors across texts and media. In an age of globalization, in “the Chinese Century,” the spatial representation and cultural experiences of mobility, displacement, settlement, and hybridity become all the more urgent. The essays in this volume respond to this urgency, and they help to frame the study of Chinese diaspora and culture today.

Pulp Sexualities: Gender and American Popular Crime Fiction at Midcentury -- 4. Run Man Run: Black Urban Crime Fiction in the 1960s and 1970s -- 5. Nightmare Alleys: The Afterlives of Pulp Virility. This book interrogates the repertoire of masculine performance in popular crime fiction and cinema from the 1940s, 50s, and 60s. This critical survey of the back alleys of pulp culture reveals American masculinities to be unsettled, contentious, crisis-ridden, racially fraught, and sexually anxious. Libertarian in their sensibilities, self-aggrandizing in their sentiments, resistant to the lures of upper mobility, scornful of white collar and corporate culture, the protagonists of these popular and populist works viewed themselves as working-class heroes cast adrift. Pulp Virilities explores the enduring traditions of hard-boiled and noir literature, casting a critical eye on its depictions of urban life and representations of gender, crime, labor, and race. Demonstrating how anxieties and possibilities of American masculinity are hammered out in works of popular culture, Pulp Virilities provides a rich cultural genealogy of contemporary American social life. Arthur Redding is Professor of English at York University in Toronto, Canada, where he teaches American literature. He has written four books and numerous articles about such topics as anarchism and writing, the culture of the Cold War, contemporary gothic fiction, and American public intellectuals. .

It is extremely timely—responding to global crises of food security and concerns about the ecological sustainability of the neoliberal world food-system in the era of climate change. … This book will be a seminal text within the intersecting disciplines of food studies, world-literary criticism, and environmental humanities.” —Sharae Deckard, Lecturer in World Literature, University College Dublin, Ireland Literary and Cultural Production, World-Ecology, and the Global Food System marks a significant intervention into the field of literary food studies. Drawing on new work in world literature, cultural studies, and environmental studies, the essays gathered here explore how literary and cultural texts have represented and responded to the global food system from the late nineteenth century to the present day. Covering topics such as the impact of colonial monocultures and industrial agriculture, enclosure and the loss of the commons, the meatification of diets, the toxification of landscapes, and the consequences of climate breakdown, the volume ranges across the globe, from Thailand to Brazil, Cyprus to the Caribbean. Whether it is anxieties over imported meat in late Victorian Britain, labour struggles on Guatemalan banana plantations, or food dependency in Puerto Rico, the contributors to this volume show how fiction, poetry, drama, film, and music have critically explored and contributed to food cultures worldwide. Chris Campbell is Senior Lecturer in Global Literatures at the University of Exeter, UK. He is the co-editor of What is the Earthly Paradise? Ecocritical Responses to the Caribbean (2007) and The Caribbean: Aesthetics, World-Ecology, Politics (2016).

The Phone Centre, a Place to Call Home -- Chapter 4. Spaces of Residence and Transnational Microcosms in Postcolonial Italy -- Chapter 5. Rooms as homes: the bathroom and the bedroom as memory containers -- Chapter 6. Conclusion - At home, everywhere. This lucid and finely crafted book explores how migration has made ‘home’ a constantly evolving concept and how practices of home-making can extend through memory and imagination to include spaces as diverse as the call centre and the train station. Providing detailed new readings of a range of postcolonial texts in Italian, this book will be essential reading for all scholars and students who engage with cultural representations of migration. – Emma Bond, Reader, University of St Andrews, Scotland This is an inspirational book that provides a compelling analysis of how migration literature negotiates and reconceives notions of home. Giuliani brilliantly explores how domestic and public spaces are reconfigured in postcolonial literature, allowing us to grasp the complexity of the lived experiences of migrants. Giuliani’s engaging work offers an innovative perspective on migration culture; an essential reading for anyone interested in Postcolonial, Memory and Space Studies. – Simone Brioni, Associate Professor, Stony Brook University, USA This book examines the meaning of home through the investigation of a series of public and private spaces recurrent in Italian postcolonial literature. The chapters, by considering Termini train station in Rome, phone centres, the condominium, and the private spaces of the bathroom and the bedroom, investigate how migrant characters inhabit those places and turn them into familiar spaces of belonging. Home, Memory and Belonging in Italian Postcolonial Literature suggests “home spaces” as a lens to examine these places and the practices enacted by their inhabitants to feel at home. Drawing on a wide array of sources, this book focuses on the role played by memory in creating transnational connections between present and past locations and on how these connections shape migrants’ sense of self and migrants’ identity. Dr Chiara Giuliani is Lecturer in Italian Studies at University College Cork (Ireland). She researches different aspects of postcolonial literature, questions of home and identity, as well as the cultural representation of the Chinese community in Italy. She has published widely on these topics in academic journals and books.

    Critical analysis of the dramatisation of homosexuality in British fiction about the Second World War is noticeable only by its relative absence from the field. Whereas feminist literary criticism has broadened the canon of war fiction to include narratives by and about women, queer scholars have seldom focused on literary representations of homosexuality during the war. Natalie Marena Nobitz closes a glaring gap in the critical attention of four novels dealing with the disruption of gender roles and institutionalised heteronormativity: Walter Baxter's Look Down in Mercy (1951), Mary Renault's The Charioteer (1952), Sarah Waters' The Night Watch (2006) and Adam Fitzroy's Make Do and Mend (2012).

Epilogue: The Splitting of Red Hairs. A Vindication of the Redhead investigates red hair in literature, art, television, and film throughout Eastern and Western cultures. This study examines red hair as a signifier, perpetuated through stereotypes, myths, legends, and literary and visual representations. Brenda Ayres and Sarah E. Maier provide a history of attitudes held by hegemonic populations toward red-haired individuals, groups, and genders from antiquity to the present. Ayres and Maier explore such diverse topics as Judeo-Christian narratives of red hair, redheads in Pre-Raphaelite paintings, red hair and gender identity, famous literary redheads such as Anne of Green Gables and Pippi Longstocking, contemporary and Neo-Victorian representations of redheads from the Black Widow to The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and more. This book illuminates the symbolic significance and related ideologies of red hair constructed in mythic, religious, literary, and visual cultural discourse. Brenda Ayres, now semiretired, teaches online English courses for Liberty University and Southern New Hampshire University, USA. Sarah E. Maier is Professor of English and Comparative Literature at the University of New Brunswick Saint John, Canada. Ayres and Maier have coedited several collections of essays. The most recent are The Theological Dickens (2021), Neo-Victorian Madness: Rediagnosing Nineteenth-Century Mental Illness in Literature and Other Media (Palgrave Macmillan, 2020), Neo-Gothic Narratives: Illusory Allusions from the Past (2020), Animals and Their Children in Victorian Culture (2019) and Reinventing Marie Corelli for the Twenty-first Century (2019).

Jean-Jacques Tatier-Gourin, Université de Tours : Staging Revolutionary Choices and Expressing Personal Sentiments in the Memoirs by Louvet (1795). This book addresses the distinct representation of emotions in non-fictional texts of the long Eighteenth century (1600-1800), such as memoirs, autobiographies, correspondences or manuals of sociability. It argues that in personal writings passions and emotions may be differently expressed than in fiction. It is also comparatist in its approach, incorporating texts from cultures as diverse as English, French, Korean and Chinese, and themes through which various emotions are invoked, such as Buddhism, death, a re-imagined Hellenic antiquity or 18th century European “Orientalism”. This book is distinctive in its choice of genres (non-fictional), its period, and its cross-cultural approach. It will benefit those interested in exploring emotions as a historical and cultural product, and in enriching their knowledge of an emerging scholarly direction: studies in autobiography and memoirs, often insufficiently explored in earlier historical periods.
