And while some critics have derided the explosion of memoir as exhibitionistic and self-aggrandizing, literary theorists are now beginning to look seriously at this profusion of autobiographical literature. Informed by literary, scientific, and experiential concerns, How Our Lives Become Stories enhance...

Een nieuw verhaal over betekenisvol samenleven
2024 || Paperback || Kees Klomp || De Geus
Soms lijkt het of de wereld zoals we die kenden voor onze ogen ineenstort. Volgens betekeniseconoom Kees Klomp is dat terug te voeren op één en dezelfde crisis. Eentje die zich niet buiten ons afspeelt, maar binnen in ons. In onze kapitalistische samenleving proberen we existentiële spanningen te dempen door materiële verlangens te bevredigen. Onze economie is eigenlijk één groot copingmechanisme. Het is tijd voor een samenleving die aan onze immateriële behoeftes tegemoetkomt. Met e...

Literary Theory / 2nd edition
An Introduction
2008 || Paperback || Terry Eagleton || John Wiley and Sons Ltd
A quarter of a century on from its original publication, Literary Theory: An Introduction still conjures the subversion, excitement and exoticism that characterized theory through the 1960s and 70s, when it posed an unprecedented challenge to the literary establishment. Eagleton has added a new preface to this anniversary edition to address more recent developments in literary studies, including what he describes as "the growth of a kind of anti-theory", and the idea that literary theory has ...

FRAUEN LITERATUR
Abgewertet, vergessen, wiederentdeckt
2024 || Paperback || Nicole Seifert || Kiepenheuer & Witsch
Nachdem Nicole Seifert mehrere Jahre lang ausschließlich Literatur von Frauen gelesen hat, ist klar: Die vielbeschworene »Qualität« ist nicht das Problem. Im Gegenteil: Wir verpassen das Beste, wenn wir in unseren Bücherregalen nicht endlich eine Frauenquote einführen.
Banal, kitschig, trivial - drei Adjektive, mit denen das literarische Schaffen von Frauen seit Jahrhunderten abgewertet wird. Während Autoren tausende von Seiten mit Alltagsbeschreibungen füllen und dafür gefeiert wer...
