Neighbours And Strangers: Literary And Cultural Relations In Germany, Austria And Central Europe Since 1989 (Book Review), Kathrin Bower Apr 2015

Neighbours And Strangers: Literary And Cultural Relations In Germany, Austria And Central Europe Since 1989 (Book Review), Kathrin Bower

Kathrin M. Bower

In this collection of fifteen papers inspired by a 2002 conference held in Salford, England, the reader will find wide variations on the broadly stated theme of neighbors and strangers in the European context. Pulling together the diversity of essays is the main problem with the volume and one that the editors have done little to alleviate in their haphazard introduction. While they allude to the unification of Germany as the impetus and point of departure for the anthology, they offer no coherent argument for the selection and sequence of the essays included in the book. The reader is left …

Fabulating Romania: Review Of Filip Florian’S Little Fingers And Alta Ifland’S Elegy For A Fabulous World, Ania Spyra Oct 2014

Fabulating Romania: Review Of Filip Florian’S Little Fingers And Alta Ifland’S Elegy For A Fabulous World, Ania Spyra

Ania Spyra

In 2007 the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Romania launched a public image campaign in an effort to create a new brand for the country, a brand that would build a positive image, rather than only counteract – defensively – negative stereotypes. An advertising agency created the new brand by merging the words fabulous and spirit into “fabulouspirit” – a word, which ended up sounding better in Romanian than it does in English even though it was intended for an Anglophone audience. The campaign encountered so much criticism that despite the plans to implement it over several years, the word …


Unsettling The Bildungsroman: Reading Contemporary Ethnic American Women's Fiction, By Stella Bolaki., Ania Spyra Oct 2014

Unsettling The Bildungsroman: Reading Contemporary Ethnic American Women's Fiction, By Stella Bolaki., Ania Spyra

Ania Spyra

Stella Bolaki gives us in Unsettling the Bildungsroman a useful review of the rich corpus of Bildungsroman scholarship already existing, invoking Franco Moretti, Iris Marion Young, Bonnie Hoover Braendlin, Martin Japtok, Rosemary Marangoly George, Pin-chia Feng, and many others. In order to situate her own intervention in this field, she goes back to early definitions of the traditional Bildungsroman, which saw radical individualism and upward mobility as the most desired end of the Bildung’s trajectory.

Carl F. Craver And Lindley Darden: In Search Of Mechanisms: Discoveries Across The Life Sciences, Stuart Glennan Jul 2014

Carl F. Craver And Lindley Darden: In Search Of Mechanisms: Discoveries Across The Life Sciences, Stuart Glennan

Stuart Glennan

Carl Craver and Lindley Darden are two of the foremost proponents of a recent approach to the philosophy of biology that is often called the New Mechanism. In this book they seek to make available to a broader readership insights gained from more than two decades of work on the nature of mechanisms and how they are described and discovered. The book is not primarily aimed at specialists working on the New Mechanism, but rather targets scientists, students and teachers who are looking for a broad, philosophically and historically informed image of discovery in the life sciences.
