Discourses Nations Identities (10 results)

Condition: New. In English.

Hardback. Condition: New. The third volume of the collected papers of the ICLA congress "The Many Languages of Comparative Literature" includes contributions that focus on the interplay between concepts of nation, national languages, and individual as well as collective identities. Because all literary communication happens within different kinds of power structures - linguistic, economic, political -, it often results in fascinating forms of hybridity. In the first of four thematic chapters, the papers investigate some of the ways in which discourses can establish modes of thinking, or how discourses are in turn controlled by active linguistic interventions, whether in the context of the patriarchy, war, colonialism, or political factions. The second thematic block is predominantly concerned with hybridity as an aspect of modern cultural identity, and the cultural and linguistic dimensions of domestic life and in society at large. Closely related, a third series of papers focuses on writers and texts analysed from the vantage points of exile and exophony, as well as theoretical contributions to issues of terminology and what it means to talk about transcultural phenomena. Finally, a group of papers sheds light on more overtly violent power structures, mechanisms of exclusion, Totalitarianism, torture, and censorship, but also resistance to these forms of oppression. In addition to these chapters, the volume also collects a number of thematically related group sections from the ICLA congress, preserving their original context.…

Issued without a dust jacket. -- A comparative literature panorama of how language shapes identity and nationhood across war, migration, and censorship - from World War I, the Spanish Civil War, and the Partition of India to exophony in Turkish‑German and francophone writing, rhizomatic memory, and the languages of biography - showing how linguistic practice becomes a site of political struggle and cultural reinvention. -- This comparative literature collection maps how language mediates identity and nation‑making across war, migration, and censorship. Chapters analyze discourse around the First World War, the Spanish Civil War, and the Partition of India, and probe mechanisms of exclusion and ideological control from post‑Revolutionary France and 19th‑century Mexico to Soviet Georgia and Communist Romania. A second cluster examines hybridity, exophony, and code‑switching in Turkish‑German and francophone writing (e.g., Zafer Senocak, Terézia Mora, Assia Djebar, Tahar Ben Jelloun) and in North American contexts (Spanglish, Canadian popular culture; diasporic authors such as Amy Tan and Maxine Hong Kingston). Other chapters rethink cultural memory through the rhizome and explore distinctive linguistic milieus, including modernist ethnographies of "Brazil‑language" (a modernist national‑language concept). The volume also interrogates the languages of life‑writing - from Virginia Woolf to nonhuman life‑writing and the curriculum vitae - and representations of otherness across media (disability on stage, women athletes in sports media, dynamics of otherness in Israeli society). Bringing together literary, cultural, and historical analysis, the book offers a multifaceted account of how language becomes the site where individual and collective identities are articulated, contested, and reimagined. Of interest to scholars of comparative literature, cultural studies, memory studies, and media studies. …
