Book Description
"Ce volume constitue l'aboutissement du programme quadriennal intitulé "pouvoirs et contre-pouvoirs dans les sociétés, les littératures, les arts d'Amérique du nord". Rassemblant vingt-deux textes, dont cinq en anglais, il porte une interrogation sur la valeur et les effets des postures de résistance que manifestent des artistes, des écrivains, des mouvements politiques et sociaux aux États-Unis ... Nous envisageons l'ambiguïté de la résistance au pouvoir pour terminer sur les pouvoirs de l'ambiguïté comme stratégie esthétique, sémiotique, et politique. La plupart des écrivains, artistes et intellectuels convoqués dans les pages qui suivent revendiquent précisément l'entre-deux comme meilleur espace de résistance aux verrouillages dogmatiques. Loin donc de prétendre opposer une vérité à une autre, ils entendent déjouer toute prétention à imposer une vérité, en perturbant toute tentative de classement, en brouillant les catégories, défaisant les nomenclatures, transgressant les normes"--Page 4 of cover.

Ecology and Literatures in English
Author: Françoise Besson
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 152752339X
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 545
Book Description
In all latitudes, writers hold out a mirror, leading the reader to awareness by telling real or imaginary stories about people of good will who try to save what can be saved, and about animals showing humans the way to follow. Such tales argue that, in spite of all destructions and tragedies, if we are just aware of, and connected to, the real world around us, to the blade of grass at our feet and the star above our heads, there is hope in a reconciliation with the Earth. This may start with the emergence, or, rather, the return, of a nonverbal language, restoring the connection between human beings and the nonhuman world, through a form of communication beyond verbalization. Through a journey in Anglophone literature, with examples taken from Aboriginal, African, American, English, Canadian and Indian works, this book shows the role played by literature in the protection of the planet. It argues that literature reveals the fundamental idea that everything is connected and that it is only when most people are aware of this connection that the world will change. Exactly as a tree is connected with all the animal life in and around it, texts show that nothing should be separated. From Shakespeare’s theatre to ecopoetics, from travel writing to detective novels, from children’s books to novels, all literary genres show that literature responds to the violence destroying lands, men and nonhuman creatures, whose voices can be heard through texts.

Frank Zappa and the And
Author: Paul Carr
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317133153
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
This collection of essays, documented by an international and interdisciplinary array of scholars, represents the first academically focused volume exploring the creative idiolect of Frank Zappa. Several of the authors are known for contributing significantly to areas such as popular music, cultural, and translation studies, with expertise and interests ranging from musicology to poetics. The publication presents the reader with an understanding of the ontological depth of Zappa's legacy by relating the artist and his texts to a range of cultural, social, technological and musicological factors, as encapsulated in the book's title - Frank Zappa and the And. Zappa's interface with religion, horror, death, movies, modernism, satire, freaks, technology, resistance, censorship and the avant-garde are brought together analytically for the first time, and approached non chronologically, something that strongly complies with the non linear perspective of time Zappa highlights in both his autobiography and recordings. The book employs a variety of analytical approaches, ranging from literary and performance theory, 'horrality' and musicology, to post modern and textually determined readings, and serves as a unique and invaluable guide to Zappa's legacy and creative force.

Ecopoetics of Reenchantment
Author: Bénédicte Meillon
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1666910430
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 387
Book Description
Ecopoetics of Reenchantment: Liminal Realism and Poetic Echoes of the Earth tackles the reenchantment process at work in a part of contemporary ecoliterature that is marked by the resurfacing of the song of the earth topos and of Gaia images. Focusing on the postmodernist braiding of various indigenous and ecofeminist ontologies, close readings of the animistic and totemic dimensions of the stories at hand lead to the theorizing of liminal realism—a mode that shares much with magical realism but that is approached through an ecopoetic lens, specifically working an interspecies kind of magic, situating readers in-between human and other-than-human worlds. This book promotes a worldview based on relationships of reciprocity and symbiosis. It restores our capacity for wonder together with our sensitive intelligence. Liminal realism adopts a stance in-between scientific, mythical, and poetic worldviews as it calls attention to the soundscapes, odorscapes, feelscapes, and landscapes of the world. This monograph offers an original transdisciplinary and cross-Atlantic take on ecopoetics as it straddles the two academic worlds and sparks a conversation between artworks, theories, and studies emerging from the English-speaking world as well as from Francophone contexts. Entangling the materiality of language back within the flesh of the world, this book and the texts under study provide insight into the fundamentally sympoietic dimension of ecopoiesis.
