Aesthetic Pleasure in Twentieth-Century Women's Food Writing / Alice L. McLean

Public ISBD Titre : Aesthetic Pleasure in Twentieth-Century Women's Food Writing : The Innovative Appetites of M.F.K. Fisher, Alice B. Toklas, and Elizabeth David Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Alice L. McLean, Auteur Editeur : Routledge Année de publication : 2013 Collection : Routledge Studies in Twentieth-Century Literature Importance : 208 p. Format : 22.9 x 15.2 x 1.3 centimetres (0.31 kg) ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-415-70331-4 Langues : Anglais Mots-clés : Women's Food Writing. Résumé : This book explores the aesthetic pleasures of eating and writing in the lives of M. F. K. Fisher (1908-1992), Alice B. Toklas (1877-1967), and Elizabeth David (1913-1992). Growing up during a time when women's food writing was largely limited to the domestic cookbook, which helped to codify the guidelines of middle class domesticity, Fisher, Toklas, and David claimed the pleasures of gastronomy previously reserved for men. Articulating a language through which female desire is artfully and publicly sated, Fisher, Toklas, and David expanded women's food writing beyond the domestic realm by pioneering forms of self-expression that celebrate female appetite for pleasure and for culinary adventure. In so doing, they illuminate the power of genre-bending food writing to transgress and reconfigure conventional gender ideologies. For these women, food encouraged a sensory engagement with their environment and a physical receptivity toward pleasure that engendered their creative aesthetic.

Charles Bukowski, Outsider Literature, and the Beat Movement / Paul Clements

Public ISBD Titre : Charles Bukowski, Outsider Literature, and the Beat Movement Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Paul Clements, Auteur Editeur : Routledge Année de publication : 2013 Collection : Routledge Studies in Twentieth-Century Literature Importance : 214 p Présentation : ill.,couv.en coul Format : 22.86 x 15.49 x 1.52 centimetres (0.43 kg) ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-415-80759-3 Langues : Anglais Catégories : LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:823 English fiction : novel Mots-clés : American  Literature  History  Language  Criticism Résumé : This book uses cultural and psycho-social analysis to examine the beat writer Charles Bukowski and his literature, focusing on representations of the anti-hero rebel and outsider. Clements considers the complexities, ambiguities, and contradictions represented by the author and his work, exploring Bukowski's visceral writing of the cultural ordinary and everyday self-narrative. The study considers Bukowski's apolitical, gendered, and working-class stance to understand how the writer represents reality and is represented with regards to counter-cultural literature. In addition, Clements provides a broader socio-cultural focus that evaluates counterculture in relation to the American beat movement and mythology, highlighting the male cool anti-hero. The cultural practices and discourses utilized to situate Bukowski include the individual and society, outsiderdom, cult celebrity, fan embodiment, and disneyfication, providing a greater understanding of the beat generation and counterculture literature.

The Epic Trickster in American Literature / Gregory E. Rutledge

Public ISBD Titre : The Epic Trickster in American Literature : From Sunjata to S(o)ul Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Gregory E. Rutledge, Auteur Editeur : Routledge Année de publication : 2013 Collection : Routledge Studies in Twentieth-Century Literature Importance : 324 p. Format : 22.9 x 15.2 x 2.3 centimetres (0.55 kg) ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-415-63692-6 Langues : Anglais Catégories : LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:821 English poetry Mots-clés : American  Literature Résumé : Just as Africa and the West have traditionally fit into binaries of Darkness/Enlightenment, Savage/Modern, Ugly/Beautiful, and Ritual/Art, among others, much of Western cultural production rests upon the archetypal binary of Trickster/Epic, with trickster aesthetics and commensurate cultural forms characterizing Africa. Challenging this binary and the exceptionalism that underlies anti-hegemonic efforts even today, this book begins with the scholarly foundations that mapped out African trickster continuities in the United States and excavated the aesthetics of traditional African epic performances. Rutledge locates trickster-like capacities within the epic hero archetype (the "epic trickster" paradigm) and constructs an Homeric Diaspora, which is to say that the modern Homeric performance foundation lies at an absolute time and distance away from the ancient storytelling performance needed to understand the cautionary aesthetic inseparable from epic potential. As traditional epic performances demonstrate, unchecked epic trickster dynamism anticipates not only brutal imperialism and creative diversity, but the greatest threat to everyone, an eco-apocalypse. Relying upon the preeminent scholarship on African-American trickster-heroes, traditional African heroic performances, and cultural studies approaches to Greco-Roman epics, Rutledge traces the epic trickster aesthetic through three seminal African-American novels keenly attuned to the American Homeric Diaspora: Charles Chesnutt's The Marrow of Tradition, Richard Wright's Native Son, and Toni Morrison's Beloved.
