Book Synopsis An Exploration of a New Poetic Expression Beyond Dichotomy by : Shin'ichiro Ishikawa
Download or read book An Exploration of a New Poetic Expression Beyond Dichotomy written by Shin'ichiro Ishikawa and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2004 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study attempts to re-evaluate Lawrence's poetry, which has often been read as a set of biographical documents or supplementary notes to his novels, as fully independent literary work in the light of post-modern critical theory. The author carefully examines how Lawrence needed to misread his precursors, the nineteenth-century Romantics, to establish himself as one of the modern poets. What separates his poetry from his precursors' is his self-consciousness as a modern poet. His search for radical freedom in language and his meta-poetic exploration of a new poetic expression make him a true pioneer of the "terra incognita" in English poetry.

Download or read book Exploring Identities. Challenging Dichotomies in Chosen Poems from Patience Agbabi’s "Bloodshot Monochrome" (2008) written by and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2024-08-20 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2024 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,7, University of Göttingen, language: English, abstract: In this paper, I will show how Agbabi’s poetry challenges traditional dichotomies, such as black/white, male/female, and traditional/contemporary by blurring the lines between them and emphasising the interconnectedness of not only the opposing ends, but also of the different continuums. To pursue this, in the following chapter I will establish a theoretical framework on intersectionality and Black feminism, that helps to conceptualise the interconnectedness of the aspects. Subsequently, chapter 3 contains the main analysis. At the beginning of that chapter, I will first give a few more relevant information on the author and then account for how I came to the specific binaries mentioned before. Based on this, the close readings will then follow in sub-chapters structured after the three main categories. Finally, I will draw a conclusion that puts the pieces back together. ‘Not everything is black and white.’ This proverb encapsulates the essence of Patience Agbabi’s poetry, particularly evident in her collection Bloodshot Monochrome. Agbabi is a British poet, performer, and writer that has recently gained more attention. Her approach to poetry is innovative and dynamic, often challenging limits of traditional forms and tackling sensitive topics ranging from racial issues to gender norms. Especially interesting is how many of these issues can be put into binary categories that Agbabi often addresses implicitly, occasionally even explicitly. Not only does she make use of such dichotomies, but she also disrupts conventional societal perceptions and encourages her reader to question them. In her works, she often brings up not only one category, race for instance, but several at the same time, covering a vast range of matters. By that, she illuminates the interconnectedness of them, showing how someone’s race should not and cannot be regarded isolated from gender or sexuality or other aspects that are part of identity.

This book was released on 2012-08-01 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Listening Up, Writing Down, and Looking Beyond is an interdisciplinary collection that gathers the work of scholars and performance practitioners who together explore questions about the oral, written, and visual. The book includes the voices of oral performance practitioners, while the scholarship of many of the academic contributors is informed by their participation in oral storytelling, whether as poets, singers, or visual artists. Its contributions address the politics and ethics of the utterance and text: textualizing orature and orality, simulations of the oral, the poetics of performance, and reconstructions of the oral.

Book excerpt: In Feeling as a Foreign Language, Alice Fulton considers poetry's uncanny ability to access and recreate emotions so wayward they go unnamed. Fulton contemplates topics ranging from the intricacies of a rare genetic syndrome to fractals from the aesthetics of complexity theory to the need for "cultural incorrectness." Along the way, she falls in love with an outrageous 17th century poet, argues for a Dickinsonian tradition in American letters, and calls for a courageous poetics of inconvenient knowledge.

Book Synopsis Exploring Second Language Creative Writing by : Dan Disney
Download or read book Exploring Second Language Creative Writing written by Dan Disney and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2014-06-15 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring Second Language Creative Writing continues the work of stabilizing the emerging Creative Writing (SL) discipline. In unique ways, each essay in this book seeks to redefine a tripartite relationship between language acquisition, literatures, and identity. All essays extend B.B. Kachru’s notion of “bilingual creativity” as an enculturated, shaped discourse (a mutation of the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis). Creative Writing (SL), a new subfield to emerge from Stylistics, extends David Hanauer’s Poetry as Research (2010); situating a suite of methodologies and interdisciplinary pedagogies, researchers in this book mobilize theories from Creativity Studies, TESOL, TETL, Translation Studies, Linguistics, Cultural Studies, and Literary Studies. Changing the relationship between L2 writers and canonized literary artefacts (from auratic to dialogic), each essay in this text is essentially Freirean; each chapter explores dynamic processes through which creative writing in a non-native language engages material and phenomenological modes toward linguistic pluricentricity and, indeed, emancipation.
Book Synopsis Migrants and Literature in Finland and Sweden by : Satu Gröndahl
Download or read book Migrants and Literature in Finland and Sweden written by Satu Gröndahl and published by Suomalaisen Kirjallisuuden Seura. This book was released on 2018-10-26 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Migrants and Literature in Finland and Sweden presents new comparative perspectives on transnational literary studies. This collection provides a contribution to the production of new narratives of the nation. The focus of the contributions is contemporary fiction relating to experiences of migration. The volume discusses multicultural writing, emerging modes of writing and generic innovations. When people are in motion, it changes nations, cultures and peoples. The volume explores the ways in which transcultural connections have affected the national self-understanding in the Swedish and Finnish context. It also presents comparative aspects on the reception of literary works and explores the intersectional perspectives of identities including class, gender, ethnicity, ‘race’ and disability. Further, it also demonstrates the complexity of grouping literatures according to nation and ethnicity. The case-studies are divided into three chapters: II ‘Generational Shifts’, III ‘Reception and Multicultural Perspectives’ and IV ‘Writing Migrant Identities’. The migration of Finnish labourers to Sweden is reflected in Satu Gröndahl’s and Kukku Melkas’s contributions to this volume, the latter also discusses material related to the placing of Finnish war children (‘krigsbarn’) in Sweden during World War II. Migration between Russia and Finland is discussed by Marja Sorvari, while Johanna Domokos attempts at mapping the Finnish literary field and offering a model for literary analysis. Transformations of the Finnish literary field are also the focus of Hanna-Leena Nissilä’s article discussing the reception of novels by a selection of women authors with an im/migrant background. The African diaspora and the arrival of refugees to Europe from African countries due to wars and political conflicts in the 1970s is the backdrop of Anne Heith’s analysis of migration and literature, while Pirjo Ahokas deals with literature related to the experiences of a Korean adoptee in Sweden. Migration from Africa to Sweden also forms the setting of Eila Rantonen’s article about a novel by a successful, Swedish author with roots in Tunisia. Exile, gender and disability are central, intertwined themes of Marta Ronne’s article, which discusses the work of a Swedish-Latvian author who arrived in Sweden in connection to World War II. This collection is of particular interest to students and scholars in literary and Nordic studies as well as transnational and migration studies.

Book Synopsis The Nation's Cause by : Elizabeth A. Marsland
Download or read book The Nation's Cause written by Elizabeth A. Marsland and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-11-12 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As we approach the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War, this timely reissue, first published in 1991, evaluates the function of poetry in wartime Europe, arguing that war poetry must be understood as a social as well as a literary phenomenon. As well as locating the work of well-known French, English and German war poets in a European context, Elizabeth Marsland discusses lesser-known poetry of the war years, including poems by women and the neglected tradition of civilian protest through poetry. Identifying shared characteristics as well as the unique features of each nation’s poetry, The Nation’s Cause affords new insight into the relationship between nationalism and the social attitudes that determined the conduct of war.

Book Synopsis Oral Epic Traditions in China and Beyond by : Chao Gejin
Download or read book Oral Epic Traditions in China and Beyond written by Chao Gejin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-31 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is the masterpiece of Chao Gejin, one of the best-known Chinese scholars of Epic studies, representing his most influential works on the change of the nature of the Epic across the twentieth century. The discussion ranges from Homeric and Indo-European epics to renewed discoveries of age-old African and Asian epics. The author details developments in research from Parry and Lord’s work on Serbo-Croat oral poetry to his own research on the Mongol heroic epic. The book traces the formation of theoretical systems such as Oral Formulaic Theory, Ethnopoetics and Performance Theory, and ends with the author’s explorations of the 20th-century Mongolian bard Arimpil’s singing of his native epic poetry. Using methods that previous scholars used to demonstrate the fundamentally oral nature of the Homeric epic, Chao brings to light the poetic richness of the still-living Mongol oral epic tradition. Students and scholars of epic studies, literature, folklore and anthropology will find this an essential reference.

Download or read book Poetry Into Song written by Deborah Stein and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-06-10 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Franz Schubert put Goethe's poem "Gretchen am Spinnrade" to music in 1814, he created a musical form that has captivated audiences ever since. In Poetry into Song, Deborah Stein and Robert Spillman challenge readers to seek a richer, more imaginative understanding of Lied - the nineteenth-century German art song. Written for students of voice, piano, and theory and for all singers and accompanists, Poetry into Song establishes a framework for the analysis of song based on a process of performing, listening, analyzing, and performing again. This unique approach emphasizes the reciprocal interaction between performance and analysis. Focusing on the masterworks, Poetry into Song features numerous poetic texts, as well as a core repertory of songs. Examples throughout the text demonstrate points, and end of chapter questions reinforce concepts and encourage directed analysis. While numerous books have been written on Lieder and German Romantic poetry, Poetry into Song is the first to combine performance, musical analysis, textual analysis, and the interrelation between poetry and music in a truly systematic, thorough way.
