  • Funny Girls
    Michelle Ann Abate
    For several generations, comics were regarded as a boy's club--created by, for, and about men and boys. In the twenty-first century, however, comics have seen a rise of female creators, characters, and readers. While this sudden presence of women and girls in comics is being regarded as new and noteworthy, the observation is not true for the genre's entire history.Throu...

  • Thinking Cinema with Proust
    Patrick ffrench
    How can Proust’s A la recherche du temps perdu prompt us to re-imagine the cinema?

    Clementina Osti
    Literary prizes are nothing if not controversial. Criticised for the selection — or rejection — of authors, texts and jury members, attacked for their economic impact on the cultural scene and for their influence within the publishing world, they paradoxically benefit from ever growing success, their number increasing exponentially every year. In this broad-ranging study, Cleme...

    If I have been a vagabond, and have never been able to root myself in any one place in the world, it is because I have no early memories of any one sky or soil.

    Paul Celan (1920-1970) is perhaps the most widely read of modern German-language poets, and yet his reputation has been constructed on a small body of primary texts. Thomas C. Connolly seeks to destabilize canonical readings of Celan’s work by exploring the sous-oeuvre, the marginalized or unauthorized parts of a work that are traditionally eclipsed. These include fragments fro...
