[Introduction To] Why Is English Literature? Language And Letters For The Twenty-First Century, Thomas Paul Bonfiglio Jan 2013

[Introduction To] Why Is English Literature? Language And Letters For The Twenty-First Century, Thomas Paul Bonfiglio

Bookshelf

Why is English synonymous with literature in the United States? At the turn of the twentieth century, literature courses were taught in the original language, and English did not signify literature any more than did French, Italian, or other modern languages. Fifty years later, English had colonized literature, and non-English literatures became configured as "foreign language study." This timely and important intervention into an on-going debate shows how the multilingual population of American faculty and students became progressively more monoglot, as did the configuration of literary studies. Thomas Paul Bonfiglio locates these changes within the anti-immigration, xenophobic, anti-labor, mercantile, militarist, …


[Introduction To] Couched In Death: Klinai And Identity In Anatolia And Beyond, Elizabeth P. Baughan Jan 2013

[Introduction To] Couched In Death: Klinai And Identity In Anatolia And Beyond, Elizabeth P. Baughan

Bookshelf

In Couched in Death, Elizabeth P. Baughan offers the first comprehensive look at the earliest funeral couches in the ancient Mediterranean world. These sixth- and fifth-century BCE klinai from Asia Minor were inspired by specialty luxury furnishings developed in Archaic Greece for reclining at elite symposia. It was in Anatolia, however—in the dynastic cultures of Lydia and Phrygia and their neighbors—that klinai first gained prominence not as banquet furniture but as burial receptacles. For tombs, wooden couches were replaced by more permanent media cut from bedrock, carved from marble or limestone, or even cast in bronze. The rich archaeological …


[Introduction To] Aprendices, Fabriqueras Y Obreros: El Trabajo Industrial En La Narrativa Argentina Del Siglo Xx (1930-2007), Karina Elizabeth Vázquez Jan 2013

[Introduction To] Aprendices, Fabriqueras Y Obreros: El Trabajo Industrial En La Narrativa Argentina Del Siglo Xx (1930-2007), Karina Elizabeth Vázquez

Bookshelf

El tema central de este libro es la relación entre trabajo, literatura y cultura tal como ésta aparece representada en las figuraciones literarias del trabajo industrial. No obstante, la propuesta analítica de la autora va más allá de los aspectos narratológicos de los textos estudiados e indaga el conjunto de discursos socioculturales y políticos sobre la historia argentina de los últimos setenta años con los cuales los discursos literarios y críticos han estado en continuo diálogo. Las experiencias de ascenso social, el ingreso masivo de las mujeres al mercado de trabajo, la incorporación de los asalariados al escenario político, el …


[Chapter 1 From] The Faithful Scribe: A Story Of Islam, Pakistan, Family, And War, Shahan Mufti Jan 2013

[Chapter 1 From] The Faithful Scribe: A Story Of Islam, Pakistan, Family, And War, Shahan Mufti

Bookshelf

A journalist explores his family’s history to reveal the hybrid cultural and political landscape of Pakistan, the world’s first Islamic democracy. Shahan Mufti’s family history, which he can trace back fourteen hundred years to the inner circle of the prophet Muhammad, offers an enlightened perspective on the mystifying history of Pakistan. Mufti uses the stories of his ancestors, many of whom served as judges and jurists in Muslim sharia courts of South Asia for many centuries, to reveal the deepest roots—real and imagined—of Islamic civilization in Pakistan.

More than a personal history, The Faithful Scribe captures the larger story of …


Historia Y Proyectos: Un Análisis Del Silencio En Lengua Madre De María Teresa Andruetto, Karina Elizabeth Vázquez Jan 2013

Historia Y Proyectos: Un Análisis Del Silencio En Lengua Madre De María Teresa Andruetto, Karina Elizabeth Vázquez

Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications

Publicada en el año 2010, la novela Lengua madre, de la escritora cordobesa María Teresa Andruetto, ofrece otro relato sobre la última dictadura argentina, que pone de relieve el problema de la complicidad civil e indirecta con la política represiva sistemática. El rasgo formal que distingue a la novela de Andruetto dentro de la amplia y heterogénea serie literaria sobre el pasado reciente es que el silencio no es ni una estrategia narrativa para decir lo político, ni el mecanismo mediante el cual lo indecible del horror se hace presente. En Lengua madre, el silencio es, paradójicamente, el …
