Romanticism'S Other Minds - Poetry, Cognition, And The Science Of Sociability

de Savarese John Savarese

39,68€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In <i>Romanticism’s Other Minds: Poetry, Cognition, and the Science of Sociability</i><i>,</i> John Savarese reassesses early relationships between Romantic poetry and the sciences, uncovering a prehistory of cognitive approaches to literature and demonstrating earlier engagement of cognitive approaches than has heretofore been examined at length. Eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century writers framed poetry as a window into the mind’s original, underlying structures of thought and feeling. While that Romantic argument helped forge a well-known relationship between poetry and introspective or private consciousness, Savarese argues that it also made poetry the staging ground for a more surprising set of debates about the naturally social mind. From James Macpherson’s forgeries of ancient Scottish poetry to Wordsworth’s and Coleridge’s <i>Lyrical Ballads, </i>poets mined traditional literatures and recent scientific conjectures to produce alternate histories of cognition, histories that variously emphasized the impersonal, the intersubjective, and the collective. By bringing together poetics, philosophy of mind, and the physiology of embodied experience—and with major studies of James Macpherson, Anna Letitia Barbauld, William Wordsworth, and Walter Scott—<i>Romanticism’s Other Minds</i> recovers the interdisciplinary conversations at the heart of Romantic-era literary theory.

Capturing Mariposas - Reading Cultural Schema In Gay Chicano Literature

de Bush P. Doug Bush

39,68€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 <div>Gay Chicano/Latinx literature often holds an intensely personal meaning for its readers, sometimes being the first artistic expression encountered that affirms their own identity as a double minority in a world that is frequently hostile to both. Nevertheless, much of the academic discourse surrounding this body of literature has overlooked how critical audience reaction can be in this inherently political genre, instead seeing the power of a work as resting within the piece itself.<br> <br>In <i>Capturing Mariposas: Reading Cultural Schema in Gay Chicano Literature</i>, Doug P. Bush looks at the book as only the beginning, considering how this literature has the power to bring understanding to disparate groups, speak truth about repressed sexuality and repressive communities, and recast traditional spaces as ones of inclusion, all through the idea of the cultural schema. Integrating elements of narratology and cognitive studies of literature, the cultural schema speaks to how these authors challenge, reaffirm, and transform commonly held experiences of gay Chicanos—or potentially any audience who reads their works. Focusing on twenty-first-century writers such as Manuel Muñoz, Rigoberto González, and Alex Espinoza, Bush examines the cultural schema of their works and then moves toward a more holistic discussion of the publishing and political implications of this genre. In addition to Bush’s important scholarship, the book includes extensive interviews with the authors themselves.<br> </div>

Shaming Into Brown - Somatic Transactions Of Race In Latina/O Literature

de Fetta Stephanie Fetta

39,68€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 <div>In <i>Shaming into Brown: Somatic Transactions of Race in Latina/o Literature</i>, Stephanie Fetta asserts that our bodies are fundamental to how we live and how we make meaning. Anchored by two psychoanalytic theories, bioenergetic analysis developed by Alexander Lowen and affect theory put forth by Silvan Tomkins, Fetta examines Latinx fiction to draw attention to the cultural role of the intelligent, emotional, and communicative body—the soma—in relation to shame. She argues that we bring the soma—the physical, emotive, and social register of our subjectivity—to the text as we do to our lives,proposing that the power of racialization operates at the level of somatic expression and reception through habituated, socially cued behaviors that are not readily subject to intentional control.<br>Fetta examines shame beyond individual experiences, looking at literary renderings of the cultural practice of racial shaming that are deeply embedded into our laws, hiring practices, marketing strategies, and more. Grounding her analysis in the works of Gloria Anzaldúa and Cherríe Moraga, <i>Shaming into Brown</i> focuses on exposing the underpinnings of racialized shame and does so through analyzing "scenes of racialization" in prominent works by authors such as Junot Díaz, Sandra Cisneros, and Oscar Zeta Acosta.<br> </div>

Permissible Narratives - The Promise Of Latino/A Literature

de Gonzalez Christopher Gonzalez

47,63€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 <div>In his groundbreaking new study, <i>Permissible Narratives: The Promise of Latino/a Literature</i>, Christopher González examines the difficulties Latina/o writers face in writing beyond the narrow expectations of U.S. readership in the stories they tell. González argues that a constrained conception of the possibilities of storytelling by and about Latinos diminishes the development and progression of narrative form. Through an examination of Latina/o writers against the <i>a priori</i> mode of engaging with nonethnic literature in the United States, González explores the limitations and challenges Latina/o authors have confronted via the shaping power of their narratives to reach a sustainable audience.<br> <br>Bringing together cultural critique, memory, narratology, cognition, and comprehension, González examines Latina/o authors—such as Oscar "Zeta" Acosta, Gloria Anzaldúa, Piri Thomas, Giannina Braschi, Gilbert Hernandez, Sandra Cisneros, and Junot Díaz—investigating how they successfully, and sometimes unsuccessfully, use the expansive canvas of narrative form to capture the imaginations of an open-minded readership. <i>Permissible Narratives </i>highlights both the inequitable accessibility of narrative devices and, crucially, the daring of Latina/o authors to nurture a readership to afford the same literary deference to them that is so often afforded to white, male, straight authors. <br> </div>

Literatures Of Liberation - Non-European Universalisms And Democratic Progress

de Mangharam Mukti Lakhi Mangharam

47,63€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 <div>The postcolonial spread of democratic ideals such as freedom and equality has taken place all over the world despite the widespread cultural differences that would seem to inhibit such change. In her new book, <i>Literatures of Liberation</i>: <i>Non-European Universalisms and Democratic Progres</i><i>s, </i>Mukti Lakhi Mangharam questions how these "universalisms" came to be and suggests that these elements were not solely the result of Europe-based Enlightenment ideals. Instead, they also arose in context-specific forms throughout the world (particularly in the Global South), relatively independently from Enlightenment concepts. These translatable yet distinct cognitive frameworks, or "contextual universalisms," as she argues, were central to the spread of modern democratic principles in response to the relentless expansion of capital.<br> <br>In this way, she posits that these universalisms reconceptualize democratic ideals not as Western imports into precolonial societies but as regional phenomena tied to local relations of power and resistance. In charting these alternative democratic trajectories, Mangharam examines oft-overlooked regional and vernacular literary forms and provides a fresh approach to current theorizations of postcolonial and world literatures.<br> </div>

Affective Ecologies - Empathy, Emotion, And Environmental Narrative

de Alexa Weik Von Mossner

48,96€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 <div><i>Affective Ecologies: Empathy</i><i>, </i><i>Emotion, and Environmental Narrative</i> explores our emotional engagement with environmental narrative. Focusing on the American cultural context, Alexa Weik von Mossner develops an ecocritical approach that draws on the insights of affective science and cognitive narratology. This approach helps to clarify how we interact with environmental narratives in ways that are both biologically universal and culturally specific. In doing so, it pays particular attention to the thesis that our minds are both embodied (in a physical body) and embedded (in a physical environment), not only when we interact with the real world but also in our engagement with imaginary worlds.<br> <br>How do we experience the virtual environments we encounter in literature and film on the sensory and emotional level? How do environmental narratives invite us to care for human and nonhuman others who are put at risk? And how do we feel about the speculative futures presented to us in ecotopian and ecodystopian texts? Weik von Mossner explores these central questions that are important to anyone with an interest in the emotional appeal and persuasive power of environmental narratives.<br> </div>

Passion For Specificity - Confronting Inner Experience In Literature And Science

de Caracciolo Marco Caracciolo e Hurlburt Russell Hurlburt

47,63€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 <div>In an analytical yet increasingly intimate conversation, <i>A Passion for Specificity:</i><i>Confronting Inner Experience in Literature and Science</i> investigates the differences between experience as conveyed in literature and experience as apprehended through scientific method. Can experiences be shared? How much do language and metaphor shape experiential reports? Where is the dividing line between a humanistic and a scientific approach to experience? In a series of exchanges, Marco Caracciolo and Russell Hurlburt demonstrate that those are necessarily personal issues, and they don’t flinch—they relentlessly examine whether Caracciolo’s presuppositions distort his understanding of reading experiences and whether Hurlburt’s attachment to the method he invented causes him to take an overly narrow view of experience. Delving ever more personally, they aim Hurlburt’s experience sampling methods—beeping people to discover what was in their stream of inner experience at the moment immediately before the beep—at Caracciolo’s own experiences, an exercise that puts Caracciolo’s presuppositions to the test and leads him to discover things about experience (his own and literature’s) that he had thought impossible.<br> <br><i>A Passion for Specificity</i>, with its personal revelations, unexpected twists, and confrontational style, reads like an epistolary novel, but it is a serious exploration of ideas at the heart of literature and science. It is a thoughtful attempt at advancing the emerging "cognitive humanities," clarifying a number of core issues in the cross-pollination of literature, psychology, philosophy, and consciousness science.<br> <br><br> </div>
