Die Existenz einer politischen, teilweise im Geheimen agierenden Polizei war in nachträglichen Bewertungen des napoleonischen "Modellstaats" auf deutschem Boden für ehemalige Untertanen besonders relevant. Von der Forschung wurde zwar bisher die Diskrepanz zwischen Anspruch und Wirklichkeit der französischen Politik im Satellitenstaat ausgiebig bedacht, nicht aber die Rolle der staatlichen Polizei. Bei der vorliegenden Studie stehen die Akteure im napoleonisch regierten, aber selbstverwalteten Königreich Westphalen im Fokus - und damit das Aufeinandertreffen der Untertanen und Machtvollzieher im lokalen Raum. Zwang und Eigeninteresse, soziale Hintergründe, nationale Zugehörigkeit und Geschlecht prägten die Herrschaftsverhältnisse und Herrschaftspraktiken und deren emotionale Aufladung.

Hannah Arendt's The Human Condition, first published in 1958, considers the importance of worldy existence. She states: "with word and deed we insert ourselves into the human world."2 She then warns that, "A life without speech and without action...is literally dead to the world; it has ceased to be a human life because it is no longer lived among men."3 Speaking and acting allow us to appear before others and facilitate our life in a world made and inhabited by others who speak and act as well. Therefore, following Arendt, we might say that, to deny someone the ability to appear would be to deny his or her life among others.

English Women's Spiritual Utopias, 1400-1700: New Kingdoms of Womanhood uncovers a tradition of women's utopianism that extends back to medieval women's monasticism, overturning accounts of utopia that trace its origins solely to Thomas More. As enclosed spaces in which women wielded authority that was unavailable to them in the outside world, medieval and early modern convents were self-consciously engaged in reworking pre-existing cultural heritage to project desired proto-feminist futures. The utopianism developed within the English convent percolated outwards to unenclosed women's spiritual communities such as Mary Ward's Institute of the Blessed Virgin and the Ferrar family at Little Gidding. Convent-based utopianism further acted as an unrecognized influence on the first English women's literary utopias by authors such as Margaret Cavendish and Mary Astell. Collectively, these female communities forged a mode of utopia that drew on the past to imagine new possibilities for themselves as well as for their larger religious and political communities. Tracking utopianism from the convent to the literary page over a period of 300 years, New Kingdoms writes a new history of medieval and early modern women's intellectual work and expands the concept of utopia itself.

This book examines the intersection of music and temporality in British literature of the long nineteenth century, arguing the temporal multiplicity of music as the most dynamic way to subvert mimetic bias. Temporally vexed sound spaces rupture the narrative, transgressing the hegemonic structures to which it is subject.

In Antisemitism and the White Supremacist Imaginary: Conflations and Contradictions in Composition and Rhetoric, Mara Lee Grayson calls attention to the complicity of academic institutions and the discipline(s) of rhetoric, composition, and writing studies in the simultaneous perpetuation and denial of anti-Jewish racism. Despite the persistence of antisemitism and Christian hegemony in the United States and its academic institutions, and despite a growing body of antiracist and anti-oppressive scholarship, antisemitism remains largely unaddressed in disciplinary scholarship, curricula, and pedagogy. This book begins to fill that gap by exploring how the rhetoric through which Jewish identity is conceptualized and weaponized by the white supremacist imaginary essentializes Jewish identities and obscures the racist aims and character of antisemitism. Drawing upon rhetorical analysis, personal narrative, and original phenomenological research, Grayson highlights how deeply embedded antisemitic ideologies impact the lived experiences of Jewish teachers, students, and scholars, and perpetuate white supremacy. This book illuminates the experiential, rhetorical, historical, political, and racial dynamics of antisemitism, exposes the limitations of existing discourses of whiteness and (anti)racism, and gestures toward a future in which, through more nuanced and productive discourse, we can better support Jewish educators and students and better engage Jewish members of the discipline as accomplices in antiracism. "I take this book personally. Grayson's theoretical framework, historical overview, personal anecdotes, and phenomenological research locate antisemitism nestled in the heart of the white supremacist imaginary. I felt such sadness, anger, and pain reading this book-recognizing myself as a Jew in its stark reflection-and yet her words also charge me, explicitly in my Jewishness, with the urgent need to join others in imagining a more just world through cooperative action and frank dialogue. It's a powerful and vibrant contribution to our field."-Eli Goldblatt, Co-Author, with David Jolliffe, of Literacy as Conversation: Learning Networks in Urban and Rural Communities "In this timely and important monograph, Dr. Grayson adroitly explains the impact of antisemitism not only for rhetoric, composition, and writing scholars and students but also our contemporary moment. In lucid and engaging prose, she unpacks thousands of years of history and tropes, making this book a must-read for anyone engaged in antiracist work."-Janice W. Fernheimer, Zantker Professor of Jewish Studies, Professor of Writing, Rhetoric, and Digital Studies, University of Kentucky

A Publishers Weekly Top 10 Memoir of the Season<BR><BR>The work of a lifetime from the Tony Award-winning, bestselling author of The Vagina Monologues-political, personal, profound, and more than forty years in the making.<BR><BR>The newest book from V (formerly Eve Ensler), Reckoning invites you to travel the journey of a writer's and activist's life and process over forty years, representing both the core of ideas that have become global movements and the methods through which V survived abuse and self-hatred. Seamlessly moving from the internal to the external, the personal to the political, Reckoning is a moving and inspiring work of prose, poetry, dreams, letters, and essays drawn from V's lifetime journals that takes readers from Berlin to Oklahoma to Congo, from climate disaster, homelessness, and activism to family.<BR><BR>Unflinching, intimate, introspective, courageous, Reckoning explores ways to create an unstoppable force for change, to love and survive love, to hold people and states accountable, to reckon with demons and honor the dead, to reclaim the body, and to see oneself as connected to a greater purpose. It reimagines what seems fixed and intractable, providing a path to understand one's unique experience as deeply rooted in the world, to break through one's own boundaries, and to write oneself into freedom.

Sabemos, desde el comienzo de los tiempos, que el regreso es imposible. Bien sea porque los lugares nunca esperan por nadie, bien porque aquel que regresa ya no es el mismo, la idea de volver se antoja una fascinante quimera, seductora como un hechizo pero al fin y al cabo irrealizable. El presente libro analiza los modos diversos en los que el tema del regreso ha sido y es abordado en la literatura hispanoamericana contemporánea. Por medio de estudios concretos de obras de carácter narrativo, poético y teatral, y dentro de un marco cronológico que abarca un siglo, se pone de manifiesto la relevancia del regreso desde distintas perspectivas (viajes, exilios, migraciones, visitas forzadas y reencuentros con familiares o amigos, entre otros) y en respuesta a distintos interrogantes.

Als Orte der literarischen Moderne gelten meist nur die Großstädte Paris, London, Berlin oder Wien. Das vorliegende Buch zeigt, dass auch abseits der Metropolen avancierte und sozial engagierte Literatur möglich war. Dazu wird die Mährische Moderne eingehender vorgestellt, eine Autorengruppe zu Beginn des 20. Jhs., die zwar innerhalb der Habsburger Monarchie agierte, aber aufgrund ihrer geographischen Lage auch die poetischen Innovationen des deutschen Kulturraums integrierte. Daraus entstand eine eigenständige Literatur zwischen Wiener Moderne und konsequentem Naturalismus. Neben ästhetischen und narrativen Aspekten kommen dabei zwei Themenschwerpunkte zur Sprache, die den transitorischen Prozess der Moderne diskursiv mitbestimmten: Die Krise der Familie und der nationale Konflikt.

Die Studie ist innerhalb der Literaturdidaktik im Schnittbereich von Lese-, Biographie- und Bildungsforschung angesiedelt und befasst sich mit der Entwicklung individueller Werthaltungen gegenüber dem Lesen.Die Dynamik von lesebezogenen Deutungsmustern wird anhand eines echten Längsschnittes vom Beginn des Leistungskurses Deutsch bis zum Studienanfang rekonstruiert. Hierzu werden narrative Interviews mit acht Informant*innen mittels der sozialwissenschaftlichen Hermeneutik analysiert und kontrastiert.Ersichtlich wird die Veränderbarkeit von Deutungsmustern in einer prägenden biographischen Übergangsphase sowie die zunehmende Trennung von privaten und institutionellen Lesewerthaltungen. Zudem scheint die Schule keinen dauerhaft prägenden Einfluss auf lesebezogene Werthaltungen zu haben.

La ficción criminal de Dolores Redondo ha sido traducida a treinta y seis idiomas, ha resultado nominada dos veces al prestigioso CWA International Dagger de la Crime Writers' Association y su última entrega, La cara norte del corazón, ganó el Grand Prix des lectrices de Elle (2021). Las tres primeras novelas de la inspectora Salazar ya cuentan con su correspondiente versión cinematográfica y la cuarta entrega se convertirá en serie de televisión de la mano de Heyday Films, la productora de las películas de Harry Potter. Este fenómeno cultural debe mucho a las mujeres que, como autoras o como personajes, fueron capaces de transformar la historia de la ficción criminal, pero la clave de su éxito literario resulta incluso más profunda. Este libro explora las características principales de la ficción criminal de Dolores Redondo, creadora de historias que transcienden la resolución de crímenes y hablan de la vida misma, enmarcándola no sólo como heredera de un género renovado por las grandes escritoras de los años ochenta y noventa en EE.UU, sino también de otros escritores y escritoras nacionales e internacionales, de psicólogos, de forenses criminalistas, de antropólogos, de expertos en victimología y de estudiosos de la religión, lo cual refuerza el carácter híbrido del género, dando lugar a unas novelas que se pueden calificar de criminales metafísicas con tintes góticos.

An arresting and one-of-a-kind memoir about the alternately exultant and harrowing trip growing up as a Black child desperate to create a clear reality for herself in this countryWritten in a distinctive voice and filled with personality, humor, and pathos, Fruit Punch is a memoir unlike any other, from a one-of-a-kind millennial talent. Growing up in Dallas, Texas, in the nineties and early 2000s, Kendra Allen had a complicated, loving, and intense family life filled with desire and community but also undercurrents of violence and turmoil. “We equate suffering to perseverance and misinterpret the weight of shame,” she writes. As she makes her way through a world of obscureness, Kendra finds herself slowly discovering outlets to help navigate growing up and against the expected performance of being a young Black woman in the South—a complex interplay of race, class, and gender that proves to be ever-shifting ground.Fruit Punch touches on everything from questions of beauty and how we form concepts of ourselves—as a small rebellion, young Kendra scratched a hole into every pair of stockings she was forced to wear—to what it means to grow up in her great uncle’s Southern Baptist church—with rules including “No uncrossed ankles” and “No questions.” Inflected by a powerful sense of place and touched by poetry, Fruit Punch is a stunning achievement—a memoir born of love and endurance, fight or flight, and what it means to be a witness, from a blisteringly honest and observant voice. 

Este volumen reúne trece artículos firmados por investigadores del ámbito de las literaturas ibéricas, procedentes de distintas universidades del Estado Español y de los Estados Unidos. Todos ellos se centran en la literatura del escritor vasco Kirmen Uribe, cuya obra goza de un considerable impacto internacional, ya que ha sido ampliamente traducida. Se trata de la primera obra colectiva dedicada al estudio del trabajo literario de Uribe, y, a pesar de que su novelística sea el principal objeto de análisis de los artículos que contiene este volumen, también se incluyen trabajos que versan sobre sus libros de poesía, la literatura infantil y juvenil o estudios más generales sobre la poética del escritor. El compendio de artículos se inaugura con un interesante texto de Uribe, titulado "Manual de desobediencia", donde explica su actitud en torno al propio quehacer literario y los principios que han regido su andadura hasta el momento.

A witty, inspiring reckoning with the ancient Greek and Roman myths and their legacy, from what they can illuminate about #MeToo to the radical imagery of Beyoncé.<BR><BR>The picture of classical antiquity most of us learned in school is framed in certain ways -- glossing over misogyny while omitting the seeds of feminist resistance. Many of today's harmful practices, like school dress codes, exploitation of the environment, and rape culture, have their roots in the ancient world.<BR><BR>But in Antigone Rising, classicist Helen Morales reminds us that the myths have subversive power because they are told -- and read -- in different ways. Through these stories, whether it's Antigone's courageous stand against tyranny or the indestructible Caeneus, who inspires trans and gender queer people today, Morales uncovers hidden truths about solidarity, empowerment, and catharsis.<BR><BR>Antigone Rising offers a fresh understanding of the stories we take for granted, showing how we can reclaim them to challenge the status quo, spark resistance, and rail against unjust regimes.

Bei der Beschäftigung mit der Allgäuer Literatur gibt es Nachholbedarf - sie ist im Unterschied zu anderen Sparten des kulturellen Lebens vergleichsweise schlecht erschlossen und vernetzt. Dasselbe gilt für die Repräsentation des Allgäus als Literaturregion in der Literaturwissenschaft und der Literaturgeschichte. Dieser auf eine Tagung in Sonthofen im Allgäu zurückgehende Band möchte das Allgäu als literarische Region ins Bewusstsein rücken. Mit der Tagung wurde bereits eine kulturpolitische Akzentuierung vorgenommen. Der vorliegende Band nimmt die wissenschaftliche Einordnung der Literatur des Allgäus vor und versteht sich als Startpunkt der Erstellung einer fundierten Literaturgeschichte des Allgäus.

This book aims to illuminate the unique character of Grandes¿s major postmillennial novels by examining the heretofore unexamined themes of perpetrator and gender memory, as well as reconceiving her representation of the memory of victimhood.

This new work sets six important texts (two full texts and four novel extracts) in the context of Rosa Mulholland's writing career, and the cultural context of the time. Mullholland's writing reflects a creative tension between issues of class, gender, religion, land politics, the presentation of the Irish peasantry, Irishness and Victorianism.Rosa Mulholland was an important figure in late nineteenth-century Irish fiction writing. She was the author of dozens of novels, short stories and critical pieces.She came from a Catholic, upper middle class family, married a prominent historian and through her sister was related to the Russell family. Their most prominent members were Matthew Russell JS, editor of the Irish Monthly, and Lord Russell of Killowen, Lord Chief Justice of England.The book is organised in such a way as to give a representative selection of Mulholland's writings in terms of genre (short story, novel extract, essay), theme (famine; middle-class women's aspirations; religion; feminism and the land war; women and ethical decision making; gender and economics; publishing and patriotism) and chronology (1864 to 1908).Interest in Mulholland has been greatly aided by the recovery in feminist literary criticism. She is now regarded as an important figure and this work provides an introductory access to her work to students and scholars.

El presente estudio es un intento por determinar el valor histórico de Adán Buenosayres (1948) de Leopoldo Marechal, una de las novelas más paradigmáticas de la literatura argentina del siglo XX. La obra es un ejemplo de cómo la vanguardia persiste en el género narrativo tras su primera eclosión y, a su vez, cómo se concilia con el nacionalismo hispano-católico que se configura durante los años treinta en el país. Adán Buenosayres es un punto de inflexión porque constituye una novela vanguardista refundacional de la patria; es por ello que esta investigación replantea las relaciones teóricas entre nacionalismo y vanguardia, así como propone una nueva perspectiva del valor histórico de esta obra en la literatura argentina y en su canonización nacional.
