Carnivalizing Difference
Author: Peter I. Barta
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1134697627
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
It has seemed at times that there is no neutral territory between those who see Bakhtin as the practitioner of a kind of neo-Marxist, or at least materialist, deconstruction and those who look at the same texts and see a defender of traditional, liberal humanist values and classical conceptions of order, a conservative in the true sense of the term. Arising from a conference under the same title held at Texas Tech University, Carnivalizing Difference seeks to explore the actual and possible relationships between Bakhtinian theory and cultural practice. The introduction explores the changing configurations of our understanding of Bakhtin's work in the context of recent theory and outlines how that understanding can inform, and be informed by, culture both ancient and modern. Eleven articles, spanning a wide range of periods and cultural forms, then address these issues in detail, revealing the ways in which Bakhtinian thought illuminates, sometimes obfuscates, but always challenges.

It waits in dark corners. In your closet. Under your bed. It hides in the cellar. Waiting, waiting until you least expect— Mick Winters spent three summers as a child with his aunt in a small, rural town, where everyone is your neighbor. He hasn’t been back in twenty years. But when his aunt passes and leaves her house to him with the note “and you know why,” he finds the old town exactly the way he remembers.

What once lurked in the dark, hiding, only to disappear again if you looked closely, is now more powerful than ever before. And no longer content to lure its victims in. Or to simply scare the hell out of them. Certain the bizarre deaths in town are tied to his arrival, Mick sets out to fight his childhood fears. Only now, they have a face…

Madame Bovary on Trial
Author: Dominick LaCapra
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 1501720023
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 215
Book Description
In 1857, following the publication of Madame Bovary, Flaubert was charged with having committed an "outrage to public morality and religion." Dominick LaCapra, an intellectual historian with wide-ranging literary interests, here examines this remarkable trial. LaCapra draws on material from Flaubert’s correspondence, the work of literary critics, and Jean-Paul Sartre’s analysis of Flaubert.
