Di Leo J: Contemporary Literary and
Cultural Theory

Contemporary Literary and Cultural Theory

An Overview

Laura Hope and Philippa Kelly make use of first-hand interviews with directors, actors, designers, and critics, as well as their own experiences in the theatre, to open up feminist dramaturgy as a field of enquiry and performance possibility. Resisting dogma, the authors cast a critical eye on past and present practices as they argue for the feminist dramaturg's role in shaping a theatre company's sense of its production potential.

Bloomsbury Studies in Global Women’s Writing

The first extended examination into the structure of influence of Zora Neale Hurston's work on major Black women writers, an idea that has been widely accepted, this book explores Hurston's impact on such authors as Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, Toni Cade Bambara, Rita Dove, and Tracy K. Smith. Focusing specifically on the concept of desire as a liberatory idiom and as the highest expression of self-consciousness and personhood, Chielozona Eze delves into the ethical and social assumptions of Hurston's aesthetics and feminist visions and their manifestations in the works of the Black women writers who came after her. Through philosophical conceptions of desire, and zoning in on Hurston's Their Eyes were Watching God and its protagonist Janie Crawford, Eze unlocks crucial conceptual and analytic trajectories regarding debates on freedom, personhood and Black feminism, and how such rich interiority appears in key works by Black women. Surveying fiction including The Bluest Eye, Sula, Song of Solomon, and The Color Purple, and poetry collections such as Life on Mars, The Body's Question The Yellow House on the Corner, Thomas and Beulah, this book is a remarkable intervention with important implications for our times.

Eine Einführung

Märchen

"Exploring the fiction of Hâeláene Cixous, this open access book highlights the ideas of selfhood and transcultural belonging in her works, demonstrating their vital relevance to decolonial paradigms and the Anthropocene era. Examining Cixous's connection with Algeria, it foregrounds her reflections on colonial, patriarchal and nationalist othering and how her writing takes Echo as a guiding mythology of diffractive selfhood. Using a notion of 'transcultural ec(h)ology', it examines how Cixous performs selfhood within ecologies of cohabitation. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license on bloomsburycollections.com. Open access was funded by Utrecht University"--

Bloomsbury Studies in Critical Poetics

Focusing on the poetry and poetics of four pivotal authors, this book examines how experimental approaches to poetic form in the post-war United States actively intervened in and reframed period-defining questions surrounding the limits and possibilities of human agency.

Action and Form in Post-War U.S. Poetry

The Poetics of Agency

This book offers the first sustained analysis of the interactions between British writers, propaganda and culture from the Second World War to the Cold War. It traces the involvement of a series of major cultural figures in domestic and international propaganda campaigns and throws new light on the global deployment of British propaganda and cultural diplomacy in colonial and post-colonial theatres such as Cyprus, India and Sierra Leone. Chapters re-evaluate the propaganda work of prominent writers including Arthur Koestler and Dylan Thomas in the light of new archival research, study how organisations including the BBC, British Council and Ministry of Information engaged with new media forms, analyse cultural representations of propaganda service and investigate how British literature and culture was deployed and projected as a form of soft power across the globe. Featuring contributions from a variety of disciplines, including literary studies, visual culture, book history and radio history, this book brings together a constellation of established and emerging scholars to show the crucial role played in shaping and mediating the techniques and content of British information campaigns of the mid-twentieth century.

Bloomsbury Adaptation Histories

Noted scholar Imelda Whelehan looks at key adaptations released during this period and considers the impact of social change, film consumption and film tastes, as well as noting the most popular genres at this time. The latter part of the 20th century saw cinema becoming increasingly significant as an art-form, even while its status as 'art' was still openly contested. This installment in the Bloomsbury Adaptation Histories series discusses a rich and exciting period of cinema history: Hollywood in the latter stages of its golden age, releasing masterpiece adaptations such as It's A Wonderful Life (1946), The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948), The Third Man (1949), All About Eve (1950), Rear Window (1954), The Night of the Hunter (1955) and Vertigo (1958).

Viktor Shklovsky’s Involuntary Modernism

Palgrave Shakespeare Studies

“Hugh Grady is the most important US scholar to connect with and develop the UK cultural materialist project under the umbrella of presentism. An exemplary blend of philosophical depth and critical insight characterizes his writing. His explorations of Shakespeare’s relevance to us now feed back into an equally relevant understanding of early modern dramatists’ art. In this sense, Grady enacts a unique dialectic between Shakespeare and us. As such, his oeuvre comprises an exemplary intellectual wisdom. What makes the essays collected here both engaging and important are the diverse ways in which they extrapolate that wisdom.”&nbsp;– JONATHAN DOLLIMORE, Independent Scholar, UK“Hugh Grady’s luminous intelligence and generosity of spirit are everywhere present in this volume. We see them refracted in the incisive and humane essays that friends and colleagues have written to honor the many facets of his intellectual legacy. Politics,aesthetics, utopian dreaming, theoretical speculation, presentist methods, and deep historical knowledge -- Grady was committed to them all, and all appear in fascinating new combinations in this volume. It’s an impressive achievement, one worthy of the person it honors.”– JEAN HOWARD, Columbia University, USAThis edited collection of essays analyses the contributions that presentist theory and criticism have made to the field of Shakespeare studies in recent years while simultaneously highlighting the contributions of Hugh Grady to that intellectual endeavour. The book is comprised of eleven core chapters authored by a mix of renowned Shakespeare scholars and early career scholars in a global context, complemented by a Foreword, an interview with Hugh Grady, and an Afterword.EVELYN GAJOWSKI is Professor of English Emerita and Barrick Distinguished Scholar at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, USA. She has published five books on Shakespeare, including The Arden Research Handbook of Contemporary Shakespeare Criticism (2021); The Merry Wives of Windsor: New Critical Essays, co-edited with Phyllis Rackin (2015); and Presentism, Gender, and Sexuality in Shakespeare (Palgrave Macmillan, 2009). She serves as Series Editor of the Arden Shakespeare and Theory Series.&nbsp;
