Resistance In The ‘Oppressor’S Tongue’ - English-Language Welsh Writers And Spanish-Language Catalan Writers

by Catriona Coutts

~~32,21€~~ 28,99€ 10% OFF

 This volume presents a comparison of Welsh writing in English and Catalan writing in Spanish, and analyses the work of selected authors from each literature: Harri Webb, R. S. Thomas and Rhys Davies from Wales; Albert Sánchez Piñol and Eduardo Mendoza from Catalonia. From a resistance literature perspective, the author asks whether it is possible for a literature of national resistance to exist in a language that is not the national language. Traditionally, Welsh literature and Catalan literature have been defined as literatures written in Welsh or Catalan - while positions are shifting, the idea that there could be national resistance literature written in other languages remains novel. Resistance literature is not an approach previously applied to study either Welsh writing in English or Catalan writing in Spanish, and this book argues that the writings under consideration have produced varying degrees of ‘resistance literature’.

After Raymond Williams - Cultural Materialism And The Break-Up Of Britain

by Hywel Dix

46,38€ + 10% CARD

 After Raymond Williams: Cultural Materialism and the Break-Up of Britain has two broad aims. The first is to re-examine the concept of cultural materialism, the term used by Raymond Williams to describe his theory of how writing and other cultural forms relate to general social and historical processes. Using this theory, the second objective is to explore the material ways in which contemporary British writing participates in one particular political process - that of the break-up of Britain. The general trajectory of the book is a matter of superseding Williams: the early chapters are devoted to extrapolating Williams's materialist theory of cultural forms, while later chapters are concerned with applying this theoretical material to a series of readings of books and films produced in the years since his death in 1988. This volume provides a detailed account of some of the writing produced in Scotland and Wales in the years surrounding political devolution, and also considers the ways in which different subcultural communities use fiction to renegotiate their relationships with the British whole.

Embodying Identity - Representations Of The Body In Welsh Literature

by Harri Garrod Roberts

13,24€ + 10% CARD

 Since the time of Freud, some of the most radical innovators within critical theory have stressed the importance of the body and its representation to the constitution of subjectivity. This book explores some of the theoretical debates surrounding the body, and assesses its value as a critical concept, through an analysis of the body's representation both in Welsh literary texts in English, and discourse about Wales more generally. Combining psychoanalytic with more culturally orientated approaches to the body, the book offers an historically informed account of the body that analyses its role in the construction and contestation of identity at a cultural as well as individual level, contributing in a new and radical way to the rapidly expanding critical literature concerned with exploring the construction of identity in a Welsh cultural context.
