"Jane Eyre, written by Charlotte Brontë and first published in 1847, has been translated more than five hundred times into over sixty languages. Prismatic Jane Eyre argues that we should see these many re-writings, not as simple replications of the novel, but as a release of its multiple interpretative possibilities: in other words, as a prism. Prismatic Jane Eyre develops the theoretical ramifications of this idea, and reads Brontë's novel in the light of them: together, the English text and the many translations form one vast entity, a multilingual world-work, spanning many times and places, from Cuba in 1850 to 21st-century China; from Calcutta to Bologna, Argentina to Iran. Co-written by many scholars, Prismatic Jane Eyre traces the receptions of the novel across cultures, showing why, when and where it has been translated (and no less significantly, not translated - as in Swahili), and exploring its global publishing history with digital maps and carousels of cover images. Above all, the co-authors read the translations and the English text closely, and together, showing in detail how the novel's feminist power, its political complexities and its romantic appeal play out differently in different contexts and in the varied styles and idioms of individual translators. Tracking key words such as 'passion' and 'plain' across many languages via interactive visualisations and comparative analysis, Prismatic Jane Eyre opens a wholly new perspective on Brontë's novel, and provides a model for the collaborative close-reading of world literature. Prismatic Jane Eyre is a major intervention in translation and reception studies and world and comparative literature. It will also interest scholars of English literature, and readers of the Brontës."--Publisher's website.

Thomas Bernhard, one of the most significant post-war European writers, continues to fascinate. The twenty essays in this bilingual volume offer new readings of the Austrian writer's works via three interconnected strands: language, history and subjectivity. In Austria, Bernhard was often viewed as an enfant terrible. Yet after his death in 1989, he has increasingly undergone what novelist Alexander Schimmelbusch calls a 'Mozartisation'. Against this background, the volume refocuses attention on Bernhard's works themselves, underlining why these continue to be subversive and compelling. The essays in this volume address Bernhard's creative linguistic interventions; his theatrical verve; his literary persona; and his response to the traumatic historical legacy which continues to shape Austrian subjectivities long after 1945.

Gompertz leert ons via kunst met een nieuwe, frisse blik naar de wereld om ons heen te kijken ? zowel voor degene die zich voor het eerst in kunst gaat verdiepen als voor de doorgewinterde museumbezoekerKunstenaars kijken aandachtig om zich heen naar de wereld. De meesten van ons reppen zich van de ene plek naar de andere en lopen bijna overal aan voorbij. Door onze grote vertrouwdheid met onze omgeving nemen we zelden nog de moeite om bij dingen stil te staan. We zijn verblind geraakt.De beroemde kunstkenner Will Gompertz neemt je in Je weet niet wat je ziet mee in de hoofden van kunstenaars en laat je hun unieke manier van kijken ontdekken. In zijn enthousiaste, aantrekkelijke stijl vertelt hij onder andere hoe Frida Kahlo pijn toont, hoe John Constable wolken observeert, hoe Rembrandt ons naar onszelf laat kijken en hoe David Hockney ons leert kleur in de natuur te zien. Zowel de oude meesters als de moderne kunstenaars openbaren voor ons een wereld waar we meestal aan voorbijgaan.Zo leer je niet alleen meer van kunst, maar je gaat ook beter kijken. Je ogen worden geopend zodat je weer ziet wat je miste: hoe bedwelmend mooi en overrompelend de alledaagse wereld kan zijn.https://www.standaardboekhandel.be/p/je-weet-niet-wat-je-ziet-9789029096003

"Although the idea of a collective audience for art--an 'art public'--is highly significant in the art world, this is the first book to enquire into the actual history of the art public. This book explores both written and pictorial evidence of its behaviour, and disentangles the connections between art production, the expectations of the audience and a work's reception. Two aspects shape the narrative: first, the transformation of the audience from passive recipient to active agent; and second, the mockery of the audience by satirists such as George Cruikshank, Thomas Rowlandson, Honoré Daumier and many others. This sweeping account moves from the Greek artist Apelles to Leon Battista Alberti and Leonardo da Vinci, and from Oscar Wilde to film stars, art tourists and leading art museums and galleries worldwide"--
