Crossing Boundaries: Thinking Through Literature - Julie Scanlon & Amy Waste (Ed.)

Sheffield Academic Press | 2001 | ISBN: 1841272329 | 224 pages | PDF | 11,5 MB

An eclectic collection of studies ranging through nineteenth and twentieth-century literature, performance, music and film and provoking theoretical and critical reflections.
This eclectic collection interrogates boundaries with reference to nineteenth and twentieth-century literature, performance, music and film from a diverse range of critical and theoretical perspectives. The authors probe the issue of negotiating boundaries in their innovative and imaginative investigations of science in Dickens, Eliot and Pater; narrative in Hawking and Weinberg; Bakhtin and the feminization of translation; lesbian romance by Jeanette Winterson; transitional females in migrant postcolonial fiction; pedagogy in South Africa; materiality and hypertext; the semiotic and money in Jay Mclnerney; the role of cliche in Beckett; music in Wim Wenders; the 'real' in fiction, theory and performance; creative and academic writing; politics and aesthetics. Original contributions by Terry Eagleton and Sally Shuttleworth support this volume's exciting challenge to established boundaries and help to make it a scintillating and thought-provoking read.
