Die Texte Friederike Mayröckers kreisen um die unhintergehbare Gebundenheit des sprechenden Subjekts an den Körper – dessen Kontingenz und Endlichkeit. Die vorliegende Untersuchung widmet sich Aspekten von Körperlichkeit in der Prosa Mayröckers unter Rekurs auf Ansätze der poststrukturalistischen Psychoanalyse, der Diskursanalyse und der Dekonstruktion. Die Auseinandersetzung mit Leiblichkeit in der Prosa der Autorin ist, so zeigt die Untersuchung, durch kulturell und historisch spezifische (Körper-)Normen präfiguriert, wie sie durch die verbalen und visuellen Texte Salvador Dalís, André Bretons, Max Ernsts, Paul Éluards oder Francis Bacons vermittelt werden, auf die Mayröckers Prosa (implizit und explizit) referiert. Als charakteristisch für diese Texte erweist sich, bei all ihrer Heterogenität, deren interdiskursive Relation zu dem von Jean-Martin Charcot geprägten Hysteriediskurs, der unter Rückgriff auf Foucault nicht als Effekt eines pathologischen Syndroms verstanden wird, sondern als eine kulturell kodierte Körpersemiotik, die auch ästhetische Konfigurationen aus der religiösen Ikonographie einschließt und an den Körpern der Texte Mayröckers als Verschränkung ›hysterischer‹ und ›mystischer‹ Ausdrucksformen sichtbar wird. Daß es sich bei diesen Körpern – entgegen einem dominanten Topos der Mayröcker-Forschung – nicht um geschlechtsneutrale Körper handelt, kann anhand der von Lacan formulierten Theorie der Intersubjektivität aufgezeigt werden.

Une lecture attentive de la poésie française de la Renaissance permet de découvrir, au sein de l'importante production de poèmes d'amour, de nombreux poèmes érotiques qui mettent en scène des corps dans leurs activités charnelles. Le présent ouvrage examine ce corps : quels en sont les critères de beauté ? De quelle manière est-il représenté ? Et au-delà du corps statique, on découvre le corps en action : les gestes de l'acte charnel, bien sûr, mais aussi les règles de morale qui dictent leur représentation, et comment tout ceci modèle la relation entre l'homme et la femme. Enfin, le contexte spatio-temporel de l'érotisme renaissant est révélé : quels sont les lieux privilégiés et quelle heure, quelle saison, quel âge sont préférés des amants, selon les poètes. Ce livre en arrive ainsi à dresser un portrait complet de l'activité du corps érotique.

This study fills a major gap of Carter's reception and enters into dialogue with current post-semiotical theories of the embodied subject by virtue of focusing on the dynamics of the meaning-in-process concomitant with the subject-in-process (Kristeva 1985) and the body-in-process. Through a corporeal narratological method-a close-reading interfacing of semioticized bodies in the text and of the somatized text on the body-I decipher how the ideologically disciplined, normativized-neutralized, 'cultural' body and its repressed yet haunting transgressive, corporeal, material 'reality' (are) (de)

This interdisciplinary book integrates the historical practices regarding material excrement and its symbolic representation, with special focus on fecopoetics and Chaucer's literary agenda. Filth in all its manifestations& material (including privies, dung on fields, and as alchemical ingredient), symbolic (sin, misogynist slander, and theological wrestling with the problem of filth in sacred contexts) and linguistic (a semantic range including dirt and dung)& helps us to see how excrement is vital to understanding the Middle Ages. Applying fecal theories to late medieval culture, Morrison concludes by proposing Waste Studies as a new field of ethical and moral criticism for literary scholars.

The stimulating mix of academics and practising poets that have contributed to this volume provides an unusual and illuminating integration of critical and creative practice and a vibrantly diverse approach to questions of poetry and sexuality. Each section of essays is complemented by poems which creatively illustrate or develop the theme with which the essays critically engage. Rather than being limited to a specific genre, tradition, time or place, this collection seeks to make a virtue of contrast, comparison and juxtaposition. The collection is arranged into sections that range broadly across the thematic ground of dichotomies, traditions and revisions, microscopic and macroscopic perspectives, women and embodiment, and the notion of play and performance. Positioning eighteenth-century tinkers ballads alongside medieval Hebrew lyrics and the Blues of Gorgeous Puddin’, or making Dionysus rub shoulders with Sharon Olds and Mrs Rochester provides new perspectives on familiar material and valuable insights into more obscure work and the nature of sensual poetry as a mode of expression. As the editors suggest, the essays and poems presented collectively argue that writings about sexuality are always already about the way poets see and represent our bodies, the world and poetic language itself.

In the history of ideas, the aesthetic categories of the sublime and the grotesque have exerted a powerful force over the cultural imagination. Ambiguous Subjects is one of the first studies to examine the relationship between these concepts. Tracing the history of the sublime from the eighteenth century through Burke and Kant, Wawrzinek illustrates the ways in which the sublime has traditionally been privileged as an inherently masculine and imperialist mode of experience that polices and abjects the grotesque to the margins of acceptable discourse, and the way in which twentieth-century reconfigurations of the sublime increasingly enable the productive situating of these concepts within a dialogic relation as a means of instating an ethical relation to others. This book examines the articulations of both the sublime and the grotesque in three postmodern texts. Looking at novels by Nicole Brossard and Morgan Yasbincek, and the performance work of The Women’s Circus, Wawrzinek illuminates the ways in which these writers and performers restructure the spatial and temporal parameters of the sublime in order to allow various forms of highly contingent transcendence that always necessarily remain in relation to the grotesque body. Ambiguous Subjects illustrates how the sublime and the grotesque can co-exist in a manner where each depends on and is inflected through the other, thus enabling a notion of individuality and of community as contingent, but nevertheless very real, moments in time. Ambiguous Subjects is essential reading for anyone interested in aesthetics, continental philosophy, gender studies, literary theory, sociology and politics.

Judith H. Anderson conceives the intertext as a relation between or among texts that encompasses both Kristevan intertextuality and traditional relationships of influence, imitation, allusion, and citation. Like the Internet, the intertext is a state, or place, of potential expressed in ways ranging from deliberate emulation to linguistic free play. Relatedly, the intertext is also a convenient fiction that enables examination of individual agency and sociocultural determinism. Anderson’s intertext is allegorical because Spenser’s Faerie Queene is pivotal to her study and because allegory, understood as continued or moving metaphor, encapsulates, even as it magnifies, the process of signification. Her title signals the variousness of an intertext extending from Chaucer through Shakespeare to Milton and the breadth of allegory itself. Literary allegory, in Anderson’s view, is at once a mimetic form and a psychic one—a process thinking that combines mind with matter, emblem with narrative, abstraction with history. Anderson’s first section focuses on relations between Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales and Spenser’s The Faerie Queene, including the role of the narrator, the nature of the textual source, the dynamics of influence, and the bearing of allegorical narrative on lyric vision. The second centers on agency and cultural influence in a variety of Spenserian and medieval texts. Allegorical form, a recurrent concern throughout, becomes the pressing issue of section three. This section treats plays and poems of Shakespeare and Milton and includes two intertextually relevant essays on Spenser.How Paradise Lost or Shakespeare’s plays participate in allegorical form is controversial. Spenser’s experiments with allegory revise its form, and this intervention is largely what Shakespeare and Milton find in his poetry and develop. Anderson’s book, the result of decades of teaching and writing about allegory, especially Spenserian allegory, will reorient thinking about fundamental critical issues and the landmark texts in which they play themselves out.
