Przewóz

Andrzej Stasiuk

Przewóz

Gorący czerwiec 1941 roku. Jasne księżycowe noce, niskie bagienne łąki, cienisty sad i zimna żyła rzeki, która podzieliła świat na pół. Na jednym brzegu Niemcy, żelazny wąż czołgów, ciężarówek, maszyn. Na drugim Rosjanie. Pośrodku wiejski przewoźnik, który z jednego brzegu na drugi wozi nocą każdego, kto zapłaci. Żydowskie rodzeństwo, które w drodze do wyśnionej Ziemi Obiecanej, chowa się w stodole tuż obok kałuż świńskich wnętrzności. Chłopcy z partyzantki, wierzący jeszcze, że wojna jest...

Simpson and Christopher Darden have all been accused of being an Uncle Tom during their careers. How, why, and with what consequences for our society did Uncle Tom morph first into a servile old man and then to a racial epithet hurled at African American men deemed, by other Black people, to have...

On the Horizon of World Literature

Emily Sun

On the Horizon of World Literature

On the Horizon of World Literature compares literary texts from asynchronous periods of incipient literary modernity in different parts of the world: Romantic England and Republican China. These moments were oriented alike by “world literature” as a discursive framework of classifications that connected and re-organized local articulations of literary histories and literary modernities. World literature thus provided—and continues to provide—a condition of possibility for conversation between...

Other Tudors: Henry VIII's Mistresses & Bastards

Forget everything you thought you knew about Henry the Eighth. While Henry VIII has frequently been portrayed as a womanizer, author Philippa Jones reveals a new side to his character. Although he was never faithful, Jones sees him as a serial monogamist: he spent his life in search of a perfect woman, a search that continued even as he lay dying. This book brings together for the first time the 'other women' of King Henry VIII. When he first came to the throne, Henry VIII's...

Who Is a Muslim?

Maryam Wasif Khan

Who Is a Muslim?

Who Is a Muslim? argues that modern Urdu literature, from its inception in colonial institutions such as Fort William College, Calcutta, to its dominant iterations in contemporary Pakistan—popular novels, short stories, television serials—is formed around a question that is and historically has been at the core of early modern and modern Western literatures. The question “Who is a Muslim?,” a constant concern within eighteenth-century literary and scholarly orientalist texts, the English...

Fate of the Flesh

Daniel Juan Gil

Fate of the Flesh

In the seventeenth century the ancient hope for the physical resurrection of the body and its flesh began an unexpected second life as critical theory, challenging the notion of an autonomous self and driving early modern avant-garde poetry. As an emerging empirical scientific world view and a rising Cartesian dualist ontology transformed the ancient hope for the resurrection of the flesh into the fantasy of a soul or mind living on separately from any body, literature complicated the terms of...

Now What?

Now What?

Now What? is an innovative exploration of artworks and films that return to radical histories subject to erasure or otherwise lost or occluded over time. The moments returned to—the Cuban Revolution, Chile’s 1973 coup d’état , the ambiguous 1989 “revolution” in Romania, and the mayhem surrounding the Red Army Faction in 1970s West Germany—stand as historical watersheds, foundational and precipitate moments in the history of radical politics. Delving into these key historical moments by way of...

Shell-Shocked

A biting, funny, up-to-the-minute collection of essays by a major political thinker that gets to the heart of what feminist criticism can do in the face of everyday politics. Stormy Daniels offered a #metoo moment, and Anderson Cooper missed it. Conservatives don’t believe that gender is fluid, except when they’re feminizing James Comey. “Gaslighting” is our word for male domination but a gaslight also lights the way for a woman’s survival.Across two dozen trenchant, witty reflections, Bonnie...
