Transcultural Imaginaries<br />
History and Globalization in<br />
Contemporary Canadian Literature<br />
2012. ca. 224 Seiten. (Anglistische<br />
Forschungen, Band 428)<br />
Geb. ca. € 35,–<br />
isbn 978-3-8253-6035-1<br />
Ersch.-Termin: April 2012<br />
What impact do global interconnectedness<br />
and migrations have on our<br />
imagination? How do contemporary<br />
writers make use of history to<br />
express these changes? Do increasing<br />
planetary complexities lead to new<br />
constructions of identities? Transcultural<br />
Imaginaries traces answers<br />
to these questions by presenting<br />
an interdisciplinary perspective on<br />
recent Canadian literature written<br />
in English. The study offers a tour<br />
d’horizon of various interrelated<br />
socio-cultural issues and theoretical<br />
contexts: it examines postmodern<br />
and postcolonial trends in the genre<br />
of historical fiction in Canada, as<br />
well as theories on globalization<br />
and approaches to cultural plurality<br />
(multi-, inter-, and transculturalism).<br />
The study also sketches possible<br />
parameters for the analysis of transcultural<br />
features in literary texts.<br />
These parameters – Space, Place,<br />
and Time; Voices and Perspectives;<br />
Transfer, Exchange, and Resistance<br />
– are applied to a variety of texts<br />
by authors such as Dionne Brand,<br />
Michael Ondaatje, Madeleine Thien,<br />
George Elliott Clarke, and Thomas<br />
King.<br />

The Scientist as God<br />
A Typological Study of a Literary<br />
Motif, 1818 to the Present<br />
2012. 263 Seiten. (Anglistische Forschungen,<br />

Ersch-Termin: Febrauar 2012<br />
Ever since the publication of Mary<br />
Shelley’s Frankenstein, in which<br />
the protagonist desires to “pour a<br />
torrent of light into our dark world”<br />
by assuming the role of creator, writers<br />
have been fascinated with the<br />
motif of the scientist as God – that<br />
is, of the scientist who seeks to rival<br />
God by engaging in such projects as<br />
creating life, resurrecting the dead,<br />
and freeing humans from sin. The<br />
present study explores the scientistas-God<br />
motif in a wide range of literary<br />
texts, spanning different genres<br />
(fiction, drama), periods (Romantic<br />
to Postmodern), and national literatures<br />
(British, American, Canadian).<br />
The study takes a predominantly<br />
typological approach, distinguishing<br />
and examining the principal modes<br />
of representing the godlike scientist.<br />
These include cautionary tragedies<br />
about scientific hubris, feminist comedies<br />
of creaturely self-fashioning,<br />
and probing allegories of divine<br />
failure.<br />
