THE Narrative READER THE Narrative READER The Narrative Reader provides a comprehensive survey of theories of narrative from Plato to post-structuralism. The selection of texts is bold and broad, demonstrating the extent to which narrative permeates the entire field of literature and culture. It shows the ways in which narrative crosses disciplines, continents and theoretical perspectives, and is a long overdue and welcome addition to the field. The Narrative Reader will fascinate students and researchers alike, providing a much needed point of entry to the increasingly complex field of narrative theory. Canonical texts are combined with texts which are difficult to get hold of elsewhere, and new translations and introductory material. The texts cover many crucial issues and topics including: • formalism • structuralism • responses to narratology • narrative and sexual difference • psychoanalysis • race • phenomenology • history • deconstruction Part III is designed to guide the student reader through the texts, including a helpful chronology of narrative theory, a glossary of narrative terms and a checklist of narrative theories. Selected authors include: Plato, Aristotle, E. M. Forster, Walter Benjamin, Mikhail Bakhtin, John Berger, Claude Lévi-Strauss, Jonathan Culler, Roland Barthes, Umberto Eco, Jean-François Lyotard, Laura Mulvey, Barbara Hernstein Smith, Jacques Derrida, Paul Ricoeur, Fredric Jameson, Edward Said, Shoshana Felman, Henry Louis Gates, Jr, Homi K. Bhabha. Martin McQuillan is lecturer in cultural theory and analysis at the University of Leeds. His other books include Deconstructing Disney (1999) with Eleanor Byrne, and the co-edited collection Post-Theory: New Directions in Criticism (1999).

  • The City Anthology: Definition of a Type
    Marven, L 2020 The City Anthology: Definition of a Type. Modern Languages Open, 2020(1): 52 pp. 1–30. DOI: https://doi.org/10.3828/mlo.v0i0.279 ARTICLE The City Anthology: Definition of a Type Lyn Marven University of Liverpool, GB [email protected] This article uses a corpus of over one hundred and fifty Berlin literary anthologies from 1885 to the present to set out the concept of a ‘city anthology’. The city anthology encompasses writing from as well as about the city, and defines itself through a broad sense of connection to the city rather than thematic subject matter as such. This article uses the example of Berlin to set out the unique traits of the city anthology form: the affective connection between authors, editors, readers, texts and the city; diversity of contributors and literary content; and a tendency towards reportage. It further uses the corpus to identify four key types of city anthology – survey, snapshot, retrospective and memory anthology – and to argue for a functional rather than formal definition of the anthology. Finally, Berlin anthologies challenge precepts of that city’s literary history in two key ways: in mapping different historical trajectories across the nineteenth to twenty-first centuries, and in particular countering the focus on the much better known city novel. The often-overlooked city anthology thus constitutes a specific form of city literature as well as anthology. As a literary manifestation – not just a representation – of the city, city anthologies inhabit a border space between literary geographies and urban imaginaries with the potential to open up an affective dimension in urban studies.

  • Australian Anarcha-Punk Zines: Poststructuralism in Contemporary Anarchist and Gender Politics
    Australian Anarcha-Punk Zines: Poststructuralism in Contemporary Anarchist and Gender Politics Author Nicholas, Lucy Katherine Published 2006 Thesis Type Thesis (Masters) School School of Arts, Media and Culture DOI https://doi.org/10.25904/1912/2826 Copyright Statement The author owns the copyright in this thesis, unless stated otherwise. Downloaded from http://hdl.handle.net/10072/367436 Griffith Research Online https://research-repository.griffith.edu.au Australian Anarcha-punk Zines: Poststructuralism in contemporary anarchist and gender politics. Lucy Katherine Nicholas BA (Hons) Politics and Society with Combined Studies, University of Gloucestershire Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts, Griffith University. Date of Submission: September 2005 Abstract This thesis describes and analyses the politics of the Australian DIY anarcha-punk scene and the ethos of the culture’s participants. Eschewing the orthodox sub-cultural approach which situates “punk” within a structuralist hegemony / resistance paradigm, the thesis uses participant observation and textual analysis techniques to understand the role played by zines (hand made publications) in fostering the intellectual and ethical capacities needed to participate in the Australian DIY anarcha-punk scene. The zines, in their deviation from classical anarchism, often invoke concepts of power and “the political” analogous with those of poststructuralist theory, yet DIY anarchist politics also diverge from poststructuralism. I therefore address DIY anarchist politics by questioning the significance of these inconsistencies with Theory. In doing so I am led to suggest that the zines may be more usefully approached as elements in the ethico- political practice of DIY anarchism, which nonetheless draws on the “conceptual vocabulary” of much poststructuralism, as well as other theoretical approaches.

  • Film Adaptation As the Interface Between Creative Translation and Cultural Transformation
    The Journal of Specialised Translation Issue 29 – January 2018 Film adaptation as the interface between creative translation and cultural transformation: The case of Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby Katerina Perdikaki, University of Surrey ABSTRACT Adaptation is prominent in many facets of the creative industries, such as the performing arts (e.g. theatre, opera) and various forms of media (e.g. film, television, radio, video games). As such, adaptation can be regarded as the creative translation of a narrative from one medium or mode to another. This paper focuses on film adaptation and examines its role in cultural production and dissemination within the broader polysystem (Even-Zohar 1978a). Adaptation has been viewed as a process which can shed light on meaningful questions on a social, cultural and ideological level (cf. Casetti 2004; Corrigan 2014; Venuti 2007). Nevertheless, an integrated framework for the systematic analysis of adaptations seems to have remained under-researched. The paper puts forward a model for adaptation analysis which highlights the factors that condition adaptation as a process and as a product. In this way, adaptation is studied as a system monitored by economic, creative and social agendas which nevertheless transforms the communicating vessels of the literary system and the film industry. To illustrate this, the paper discusses how the two systems and various creative and socioeconomic considerations interlace in the latest film adaptation of The Great Gatsby (Luhrmann 2013). It concludes on the benefits of a holistic approach to adaptation. KEYWORDS Film adaptation, translation, polysystem, paratexts, creative industries, The Great Gatsby. 1. Introduction Adaptations play a crucial part in the contemporary creative industries.

  • Re-Contextualization and Representation of Folk Art in Advertising
    Re-contextualization and Representation of Folk Art in Advertising Dr. Manash Pratim Goswami Associate Professor, Dept. of Media and Communication, Central University of Tamil Nadu ([email protected]) Dr. Soubhagya Ranjan Padhi Professor, Dept. of Sociology & Social Anthropology, Indira Gandhi National Tribal University ([email protected]) Abstract: Although art and advertising are ideologically distant apart, yet they share a close and entwined relationship. Art imitates life and advertising imitates art to persuade. Advertising connects diverse and disconnected pieces of art to create semantic meaning in a message. The magic of an image with dots and lines can create powerful impact in an advertising message with a potential to influence people. The idea of appropriation of art or elements of art have been in practice for a long time. Advertising campaigns often re-contextualise popular imageries to influence people. The re- contextualization and representation of art, culture, motifs, patterns and designs of painting often help communicating advertising message effectively and lucidly. The current study focuses on investigating the appropriation of cultural characteristics and elements of folk-art and paintings to re-contextualise the creative expression of artists to communicate advertising messages. The study makes a qualitative analysis of ‘GE Works’- the advertising campaign of General Electric (GE) launched a decade ago, which recontextualised and represented four distinct and colourful Indian folk-art forms. Keywords: Appropriation, Recontextualization, Representation, Folk-art and Painting, Advertising. Introduction Art and advertising, although separated by ideological notions, share a close and intertwined relationship. Art is a commentary presented to be appreciated for its beauty or emotional power (Oxford University Press, n.d.) and advertising persuades, influences and convinces the individual for something.

Hillis Miller’s professional career as a teacher and scholar of literature, philosophy and critical theory has spanned well over fifty years now. He is, according to Edinburgh University Press, “the single most significant North American literary critic of the twentieth century.” He has published twenty-seven books and countless articles, edited collections and book chapters. Hillis holds honorary degrees as Doctor of Letters from the University of Florida, Doctor of Humane Letters at Bucknell University, and Doctor Honoris Cause at the University of Zaragoza. He is also Honorary Professor of Peking University and past president of the Modern Language Association.

  • Papers of Surrealism, Issue 8, Spring 2010 1
    © Lizzie Thynne, 2010 Indirect Action: Politics and the Subversion of Identity in Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore’s Resistance to the Occupation of Jersey Lizzie Thynne Abstract This article explores how Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore translated the strategies of their artistic practice and pre-war involvement with the Surrealists and revolutionary politics into an ingenious counter-propaganda campaign against the German Occupation. Unlike some of their contemporaries such as Tristan Tzara and Louis Aragon who embraced Communist orthodoxy, the women refused to relinquish the radical relativism of their approach to gender, meaning and identity in resisting totalitarianism. Their campaign built on Cahun’s theorization of the concept of ‘indirect action’ in her 1934 essay, Place your Bets (Les paris sont ouvert), which defended surrealism in opposition to both the instrumentalization of art and myths of transcendence. An examination of Cahun’s post-war letters and the extant leaflets the women distributed in Jersey reveal how they appropriated and inverted Nazi discourse to promote defeatism through carnivalesque montage, black humour and the ludic voice of their adopted persona, the ‘Soldier without a Name.’ It is far from my intention to reproach those who left France at the time of the Occupation. But one must point out that Surrealism was entirely absent from the preoccupations of those who remained because it was no help whatsoever on an emotional or practical level in their struggles against the Nazis.1 Former dadaist and surrealist and close collaborator of André Breton, Tristan Tzara thus dismisses the idea that surrealism had any value in opposing Nazi domination.
