Sociological Theory Beyond the Canon - Vineeta Sinha - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Sociological Theory Beyond the Canon - Vineeta Sinha - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book expands the sociological canon by introducing non-Western and female voices, and subjects the existing canon itself to critique. Including chapters on both the ‘founding fathers’ of sociology and neglected thinkers it highlights the biases of Eurocentrism and androcentrism, while also offering much-needed correctives to them. The authors challenge a dominant account of the development of sociological theory which would have us believe that it was only Western European and later North American white males in the nineteenth and early twentieth century who thought in a creative and systematic manner about the origins and nature of the emerging modernity of their time. This integrated and contextualised account seeks to restructure the ways in which we theorise the emergence of the classical sociological canon. This book’s global scope fills a significant lacuna and provides a unique teaching resource to students of classical sociological theory.

Dancing on the Canon - S. Dodds - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Dancing on the Canon - S. Dodds - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Dancing on the Canon, now available in paperback for the first time, explores the vexed relationship between popular dance and value. In a critique of the Western art canon, it traces the shifting value systems that underpin popular dance scholarship and considers how different dancing communities articulate multiple and often paradoxical expressions of judgment, significance and worth through their embodied practice. Employing a cultural theory approach, it focuses on the choreographic content of neo-burlesque striptease in London and New York, the dance styles of British punk, metal and ska fans, and the vernacular dances of a British-Caribbean dancehall to interrogate how value is produced, negotiated and re-imagined. Yet this is not to assume that they are autonomous values untouched by the social frameworks in which they exist. Rather, the corporeal enunciations of value constructed by those engaged in popular dance forms are informed by a complex matrix of aesthetic, economic, political and social values already in circulation.

Shakespeare's Drama of Exile - J. Kingsley Smith - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Shakespeare's Drama of Exile - J. Kingsley Smith - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Exile defines the Shakespearean canon, from The Two Gentlemen of Verona to The Two Noble Kinsmen . This book traces the influences on the drama of exile, examining the legal context of banishment (pursued against Catholics, gypsies and vagabonds) in early modern England; the self-consciousness of exile as an amatory trope; and the discourses by which exile could be reshaped into comedy or tragedy. Across genres, Shakespeare''s plays reveal a fascination with exile as the source of linguistic crisis, shaped by the utterance of that word ''Banished''.

Holocaust Literature of the Second Generation - M. Vaul Grimwood - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Satire and Romanticism - S. Jones - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Satire and Romanticism - S. Jones - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This remarkable study of the constructive and ultimately canon-forming relationship between satiric and Romantic modes of writing from 1760 to 1832 provides us with a new understanding of the historical development of Romanticism as a literary movement. Romantic poetry is conventionally seen as inward-turning, sentimental, sublime, and transcendent, whereas satire, with its public, profane, and topical rhetoric, is commonly cast in the role of generic other as the un-Romantic mode. This book argues instead that the two modes mutually defined each other and were subtly interwoven during the Romantic period. By rearranging reputations, changing aesthetic assumptions, and re-distributing cultural capital, the interaction of satiric and Romantic modes helped make possible the Victorian and modern construction of ''English Romanticism''.

A Global Doll's House - Joanne Tompkins - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

A Global Doll's House - Joanne Tompkins - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book addresses a deceptively simple question: what accounts for the global success of A Doll''s House , Henrik Ibsen''s most popular play? Using maps, networks, and images to explore the world history of the play''s production, this question is considered from two angles: cultural transmission and adaptation. Analysing the play''s transmission reveals the social, economic, and political forces that have secured its place in the canon of world drama; a comparative study of the play''s 135-year production history across five continents offers new insights into theatrical adaptation. Key areas of research include the global tours of nineteenth-century actress-managers, Norway''s soft diplomacy in promoting gender equality, representations of the female performing body, and the sexual vectors of social change in theatre.

Anglo-Jewish Women Writing the Holocaust - P. Lassner - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Anglo-Jewish Women Writing the Holocaust - P. Lassner - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

In its rigorously researched analysis of Anglo-Jewish women writing the Holocaust, this book highlights the necessity of their inclusion in the evolving canon of modern British literature. Addressing the question of why the Holocaust is still being written, this study brings together Kindertransport writers, those of the Second Generation and those writers who have no personal or communal connection to the Holocaust but who have felt compelled to testify to the painful adaptations or betrayals of refugees by the nation which rescued so many. In her significant critical interpretations of memoirs, plays, poetry and novels, Lassner shows how these writers complicate theories of trauma and memory by using fantasy and the Gothic as a response to silence as well as to the historical and narrative relationship between endangered European Jews and Britain''s cultural and political responses to them.

Creatural Fictions - David Herman - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Creatural Fictions - David Herman - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This volume explores how twentieth- and twenty-first-century literary texts engage with relationships between humans and other animals. Written by forward-thinking early-career scholars, as well as established experts in the field, the chapters discuss key texts in the emergent canon of animal narratives, including Franz Kafka''s animal stories, Yann Martel''s The Life of Pi , Zakes Mda''s The Whale Caller , and others. The volume is divided into four main sections. Two period-focused sections center on modernism and on late-twentieth- and twenty-first-century fiction, while two further sections foreground the more general project of theory building in literary animal studies, examining interconnections among concepts of species, sexuality, gender, and genre. The volume also raises issues that extend beyond the academic community, including ethical dimensions of human-animal relationships and the problems of species loss and diminishing biodiversity.

Fairy Tale Queens - J. Carney - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Fairy Tale Queens - J. Carney - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Most of today''s familiar fairy tales come from the stories of Charles Perrault, the Brothers Grimm, and Hans Christian Andersen, but this innovative study encourages us to explore the marvelous tales of authors from the early modern period Giovanni Straparola, Giambattista Basile, Madame Marie-Catherine D''Aulnoy, and others whose works enrich and expand the canon. As author Jo Eldridge Carney shows, the queen is omnipresent in these stories, as much a hallmark of the genre as other familiar characteristics such as the number three, magical objects, and happy endings. That queens occupy such space in early modern tales is not surprising given the profound influence of so many powerful queens in the political landscapes of early modern England and Europe. Carney makes a powerful argument for the historical relevance of fairy tales and, by exploring the dynamic intersection between fictional and actual queens, shows how history and folk literature mutually enrich our understanding of the period.
