Abstract

Depuis les cartes anciennes qu’il a consultées et copiées jusqu’aux nombreux plans de géomètre qu’il a dessinés en tant qu’arpenteur professionnel, les cartes abondent dans les archives et la documentation de Thoreau. L’arpenteur vagabond s’intéresse à ces documents longtemps négligés par la critique et au rôle que cette familiarité avec le geste cartographique a joué dans le travail de l’écrivain. Ce parcours de l’ensemble de son œuvre montre que Thoreau, tout en mesurant parfaitement les limites et le biais idéologique de l’entreprise cartographique, y voyait aussi un outil irremplaçable de clarification et de mise au jour de phénomènes (humains et non humains) habituellement invisibles. Dans ses textes sur la nature comme dans ses essais plus explicitement politiques, la langue vagabonde et « extravagante » de Thoreau trouve ainsi dans les cartes un allié inattendu qui permet une redistribution polémique des spatialités et la mise en place d’un nouveau régime de visibilité. Henry David Thoreau’s legacy is not only literary but cartographic, including numerous maps long neglected by critics– from the plans he drafted as a professional surveyor, to the ancient charts he copied in the library at Harvard University. The Surveyor and the Saunterer examines the role that these maps played in Thoreau’s work as a writer. While he was aware of their geographic limitations, and the ideological bias involved in map-making, Thoreau was nevertheless drawn to them as a unique clarification tool, capable of revealing phenomena that would otherwise remain invisible. In his writings on nature, as well as in his more political essays, Thoreau’s “extravagant” and sauntering mind finds an unexpected ally in cartography, allowing him to conduct a controversial redistribution of spatiality, and explore a new system of visibility.

Abstract

Apartheid and Beyond is a major contribution to the study of South African literary culture. It offers elegant readings of Coetzee, Gordimer, Fugard, Tlali, Dike, Magona, and Mda, focusing on the intimate relationship between place, subjectivity, and literary form revealed in their work. It also explores the way apartheid functioned in its day-to-day operations as a geographical system of control, exerting its power through such spatial mechanisms as residential segregation, bantustans, passes, and prisons. Though in the first instance concerned with literary texts, Apartheid and Beyond also meditates on crucial historical processes like colonial occupation, the creation of black townships, migration, forced removals, the emergence of informal settlements, the gradual integration of white cities, and efforts at land reform. Cumulatively, the six essays in this book tell the story of the transformation of apartheid's landscapes of oppression into the more ambiguous landscapes of contemporary South Africa: landscapes of tourism and leisure, of crime and privatized security, of uncontrolled urbanization and persistent poverty. Barnard's methodologically eclectic writing draws on the work of major European and U.S. theorists like Foucault, De Certeau, and Jameson, as well as important African intellectuals like Mbembe, Ramphele, and Ndebele. It also takes literary figures seriously as theorists of space in their own right. Apartheid and Beyond is both an innovative account of an important body of politically-inflected literature and an imaginative reflection on the socio-spatial aspects of the transition from apartheid to democracy.

Abstract

The midwestern pastoral is a literary tradition of place and rural experience that celebrates an attachment to land that is mystical as well as practical, based on historical and scientific knowledge as well as personal experience. It is exemplified in the poetry, fiction, and essays of writers who express an informed love of the nature and regional landscapes of the Midwest. Drawing on recent studies in cultural geography, environmental history, and mythology, as well as literary criticism, The Midwestern Pastoral: Place and Landscape in Literature of the American Heartland relates Midweste

Abstract

Always the focal point in modern times for momentous political, social and cultural upheaval, Berlin has continued, since the fall of the Wall in 1989, to be a city in transition. As the new capital of a reunified Germany it has embarked on a journey of rapid reconfiguration, involving issues of memory, nationhood and ownership. Bertolt Brecht, meanwhile, stands as one of the principal thinkers about art and politics in the 20th century. The 'Street Scene' model, which was the foundation for his theory of an epic theatre, relied precisely on establishing a connection between art's functioning

Abstract

This groundbreaking volume of critical essays revolving around the concept of resurgence maps the modes of conservation, transformation, and invention of the literary, visual, and cultural expressions which Jane Urquhart's singular voice has brought about on the Canadian but also international scene. Taking resurgence as the informing principle of investigation, the volume as a whole focuses on the rewriting and reconstruction of the past, on the modalities of its resurfacing or of its erasure. It raises questions about the explicit or implicit ideological repercussions of such concealment and disclosure, such rupture and resilience. Through the prism of this concept, through surveys, close textual scrutiny and comparative analyses, the book explores Urquhart's discursive practices, the way they hinge on intertextuality or citation, at the same time as upon intratextuality or self-citation. It brings to the fore the extratextual and metatextual quality of her writing together with the transmediality, the transcoding or intersemioticity which characterize the interaction between literature and the visual arts in her fictional and poetic works. The volume engages with Urquhart's entire literary oeuvre, opening with a thoughtprovoking, previously unpublished address by Urquhart herself and concluding with a discussion with the author. Special emphasis has been given to A Map of Glass, with the third chapter entirely dedicated to its specific or comparative examination, but her collections of poetry and the other five novels have also garnered single or comparative critical attention from the present contributors. From The Whirlpool to A Map of Glass, the uncanny array of Urquhart's resurgent colours makes us see «through the power of the written word» that there is a genuine mystery in art and a real place for wonder. It is the resurgence of such innermost forces, in the creative and critical landsca
