Während der Aufklärung rückt der Mensch ins Zentrum des wissenschaftlichen Interesses. Wie aber schlägt sich diese neue Menschenkunde in der ,schönen' Literatur nieder? Und wie lassen sich ihre Perspektiven für ein Verständnis literarischer Texte nutzen? Die zweite, überarbeitete Auflage des Studienbuchs bietet, auch durch Verweise auf den Reader "Grundlagentexte", einen umfassenden Überblick über die literarische Anthropologie. Pressestimmen zur ersten Auflage:"Kaum einer hat sich beständiger in die [anthropologische Debatte des 18. Jahrhunderts in der Germanistik] eingemischt als Alexander Kosenina, der nun eine vornehmlich an Studenten adressierte Einführung zu diesem Komplex vorlegt. In kurzen Kapiteln stellt Kosenina [...] die einschlägigen theoretischen Texte ebenso vor wie die Auswirkungen auf die verschiedenen literarischen Gattungen oder den Niederschlag in diskursiven Feldern wie Traum oder Wahnsinn." Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, 15. Dezember 2008 "Die Einführung in die ,methodische Perspektive' der Literaturanthropologie ist anregend zu lesen und gut an Beispielen." Ronald Schneider in: ekz - Informationsdienst, 3/2009 "Verfolgt wird hier ein stringentes Konzept, das mit wichtigen Autoren und Texten der Literatur des 18. und 19. Jahrhunderts bekannt macht, sich aber nicht mit der statischen Darbietung von Wissen begnügt, sondern Einsichten und Lernprozesse provozieren und befördern möchte. Dies jedoch - und hier liegt die wohl größte Stärke des Buchs - in einer Weise, die unaufdringlich dazu verführt, Texte neu, anders und überhaupt zu lesen. Die Sprache, die Alexander Kosenina hierfür gefunden hat, wird auch eine nichtakademische Leserschaft gern zu diesem Buch greifen lassen. Das ist ein seltener Glücksfall." Jan Standke in: IASLonline, 08. September 2009 "Obwohl als Studienbuch konzipiert und natürlich bestens geeignet wegen der Kürze der Darstellung, zeugt diese Quelle von besonderer Kompetenz durch die Auswahl und Darstellung des Materials. Für Studierende bietet deshalb Alexander Košeninas ,Literarische Anthropologie' unter der Prämisse der Neuentdeckung des Menschen eine konzise Einführung ins Thema - für all diejenigen, die davon ausgehend weiterlesen und denken möchten, einen wertvollen Anstoß."Bettina von Jagow in: Jahrbuch Literatur und Medizin, 3 (2009) "Alexander Kosenina legt mit ,Literarische Anthropologie. Die Neuentdeckung des Menschen" ein unverzichtbares Studienbuch vor, das auch für das Selbststudium sehr geeignet ist."Susan Mahmody in: literaturkritik.de, Nr.7 (Juli 2009)

This collection suggests that the disciplines of literature and anthropology are not static entities but instead fluid sites of shifting cultural currents and academic interests. The essays conclude that the origins, sources, and intersections of the two disciplines are constantly being revised, and reconceived, leading to new possibilities of understanding texts.The authors address the ways in which the language of social science fuses with that of the literary imagination. The essays fit excellently with the current interest in interdisciplinary studies and challenge students to see text

Het verhaal van Don Juan is in de loop der eeuwen vanuit heel verschillende oogpunten beschreven. Waar men aanvankelijk vond dat iemand met zo’n levenswandel niet beter verdiende dan te branden in de hel, wordt hij vanaf 1800 juist geprezen om zijn bovenmenselijke vasthoudendheid en het niet aflatend zoeken naar een absoluut ideaal. En het verhaaltype verandert mee: de actie wordt vervangen door bespiegeling. In Tussen verlangen en verlies analyseert en interpreteert D.G. van der Steen de Don Juan-verhalen van Hoffmann, Lenau, Musset en Gautier. Een belangrijke rol is daarin ook weggelegd voor muziek, vrijheid, literatuur, architectuur en, bovenal, de mens.

Recent insights into the nature of representation and power relations have signaled an important shift in perspective on anthropology: from a fieldwork-based "science" of culture to an interpretive activity bound to the discursive and ideological process called "text-making." This collection of essays reflects the ongoing cross-fertilization between literary criticism and anthropology. Focusing on texts written or influenced by anthropologists between 1900 and 1945, the work relates current perspectives on anthropology's discursive nature to the literary period known as "Modernism.".The essays, each demonstrating anthropology's profound influence on this important cultural movement, are organized according to discourse type: from the comparativist text of Frazer, to the ethnographies of Boas, Benedict, Mead, and Hurston, and on to the surrealist experiments of the College de Sociologie. Meanwhile the book's orientation shifts from essays that approach anthropology from the vantage points of literariness and textual power to those that contemplate what bearing the junction of cultural theory and anthropology can have upon present and future social institutions.In addition to the editor, contributors include Vincent Crapanzano, Deborah Gordon, Richard Handler, Arnold Krupat, Francesco Loriggio, Michele Richman, Marty Roth, Marilyn Strathern, Robert Sullivan, John B. Vickery, and Steven Webster.Originally published in 1990.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

In Modernism, Romance and the Fin de Siècle Nicholas Daly explores the popular fiction of the 'romance revival' of the late Victorian and Edwardian years, focusing on the work of such authors as Bram Stoker, H. Rider Haggard and Arthur Conan Doyle. Rather than treating these stories as Victorian Gothic, Daly locates them as part of a 'popular modernism'. Drawing on work in cultural studies, this book argues that the vampires, mummies and treasure hunts of these adventure narratives provided a form of narrative theory of cultural change, at a time when Britain was trying to accommodate the 'new imperialism', the rise of professionalism, and the expansion of consumerist culture. Daly's wide-ranging study argues that the presence of a genre such as romance within modernism should force a questioning of the usual distinction between high and popular culture.
