"The period since the Good Friday Agreement in 1998 has seen a sustained decrease in violence and, at the same time, Northern Ireland has undergone a literary renaissance, with a fresh generation of writers exploring innovative literary forms. This book explores contemporary Northern Irish fiction and how the 'post'-conflict period has led writers to a renewed engagement with intimacy and intimate life. Magennis draws on affect and feminist theory to examine depictions of intimacy, pleasure and the body in their writings and shows how intimate life in Northern Ireland is being reshaped and re-written. Featuring short reflective pieces from some of today's most compelling Northern Irish Writers, including Lucy Caldwell, Jan Carson, Bernie McGill and David Park, this book provides authoritative insights into how a contemporary engagement with intimacy provides us with new ways to understand Northern Irish identity, selfhood and community."--

"The essays in this edited volume, written in English and French, tackle the intriguing problems of fear and safety by analysing their various meanings and manifestations in literature and other narrative media. The articles bring forth new, cross-cultural interpretations on fear and safety through examining what kinds of genre-specific means of world-making narratives use to express these two affectivities. The articles also show how important it is to study these themes in order to understand challenges in times of global threats, such as the climate crisis, and - to imagine a better future. The main themes of the book are approached from various theoretical perspectives as related to their literary and cultural representations. Recent trends in research, such as affect and risk theory, serve as the basis for the discussion. Many of the articles in the volume discuss apocalyptic and dystopian narratives that currently permeate the entire cultural landscape. Dystopian narratives do not only deal with future threats, such as totalitarianism, technocracy, or environmental disasters, but also suggest alternative ways of being and new hopes in the form of political resistance. The articles in the volume also draw from disciplines such as gender studies and trauma studies to examine the threats posed by collective fears and aggression on individuals' lives and propose ways of coping with fear. These themes are addressed also in articles analysing new adaptations of old myths that retell stories of the past."

This collection brings together for the first time literary studies of British colonies in nineteenth-century Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, South America, Southeast Asia, and the South Pacific Islands. Drawing on hemispheric studies, Indigenous studies, and southern theory to decentre British and other European metropoles, the collection offers a groundbreaking challenge to national paradigms and traditional literary periodisations and canons by prioritising southern cultural networks in multiple regional centres from Cape Town to Dunedin. Worlding the South examines the dialectics of literary worldedness in ways that recognise inequalities of power, textual and material violence, and literary and cultural resistance. The collection revises current literary histories of the 'British world' by arguing for the distinctiveness of settler colonialism in the southern hemisphere, and by incorporating Indigenous, diasporic, and south-south perspectives. "This collection brings together for the first time literary studies of British colonies in nineteenth-century Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, South America, Southeast Asia and the South Pacific Islands. Drawing on hemispheric studies, Indigenous studies and southern theory to decentre British and other European metropoles, the collection offers a groundbreaking challenge to national paradigms and traditional literary periodisations and canons by proposing a new literary history of the region that is predicated less on metropolitan turning points and more on southern cultural networks in multiple regional centres from Cape Town to Dunedin. With a focus on south-south interactions, southern audiences and southern modes of addressivity Worlding the South foregrounds marginal, minor and neglected writers and texts across a hemispheric complex of southern oceans and terrains. Adopting an ontological tradition that tests the dominance of networked theories of globalisation, the collection asks how we can better understand the dialectical relationship between the 'real' world in which a literary text or art object exists and the symbolic or conceptual world it shows or creates. By examining the literary processes of worlding, it demonstrates how art objects make legible homogenising imperial and colonial narratives, inequalities of linguistic power, textual and material violence and literary and cultural resistance. With contributions from leading scholars in nineteenth-century literary and cultural studies, the collection revises literary histories of the 'British world' by arguing for the distinctiveness of settler colonialism in the southern hemisphere and by incorporating Indigenous, diasporic and south-south perspectives." -- Back cover.

Das Buch hat die Darstellung deutsch-jüdischer Identität in ausgewählten Prosatexten des zeitgenössischen, deutsch-jüdischen Autors Maxim Biller zum Thema. Seit 1989 ist jüdisches Leben in Deutschland «sichtbarer» und heterogener geworden. Das liegt maßgeblich an der veränderten Selbstrepräsentation vieler jüngerer Juden. In und mit seinen Texten Der gebrauchte Jude (2009), Esra (2003), Die Tochter (2000) und seinen Kurzgeschichten (1990/1994) bricht Maxim Biller – der kontroverseste Vertreter der sogenannten Zweiten Generation – mit den Tabus, die den Diskurs über deutsch-jüdische Identität nach wie vor bestimmen. Wie, warum und mit welchen Effekten er das macht, analysiert die Autorin mithilfe von Michel Foucaults Diskurstheorie und Judith Butlers Theorie der Performativität.
