Transatlantic Literature and Transitivity 1780-1850 Subjects Texts and Print Culture

Transatlantic Literature and Transitivity 1780-1850 Subjects Texts and Print Culture

This book makes an important contribution to transatlantic literary studies and an emerging body of work on identity formation and print culture in the Atlantic world. The collection identifies the ways in which historically-situated but malleable subjectivities engage with popular and pressing debates about class slavery natural knowledge democracy and religion. In addition the book also considers the ways in which material texts and genres including for example the essay the guidebook the travel narrative the periodical the novel and the poem can be scrutinized in relation to historically-situated transatlantic transitions transformations and border crossings. The volume is underpinned by a thorough examination of historical and conceptual frameworks and prioritizes notions of circulation and exchange as opposed to transfer and continuance in its analysis of authors texts and ideas. The collection is concerned with the movement of people texts and ideas in the currents of transatlantic markets and politics taking a fresh look at a range of canonical and popular writers of the period including Austen Poe Crèvecoeur Brockden Brown Sedgwick Hemans Bulwer-Lytton Dickens and Melville. In different ways the essays gathered together here are concerned with the potentially empowering realities of the transitive circulatory and contingent experiences of transatlantic literary and cultural production as they are manifest in the long nineteenth century. | Transatlantic Literature and Transitivity 1780-1850 Subjects Texts and Print Culture

A Psychoanalytic Perspective on Reading Literature Reading the Reader

A Psychoanalytic Perspective on Reading Literature Reading the Reader

What are the unconscious processes involved in reading literature? How does literature influence our psychological development and existential challenges? A Psychoanalytic Perspective on Reading Literature offers a unique glimpse into the unconscious psychic processes and development involved in reading. The author listens to the 'free associations' of various literary characters in numerous scenarios where the characters are themselves reading literature thus revealing the mysterious ways in which reading literature helps us and contributes to our development. The book offers an introduction both to classic literature (Poe Proust Sartre Semprún Pessoa Agnon and more) and to the major psychoanalytic concepts that can be used in reading it – all described and widely explained before being used as tools for interpreting the literary illustrations. The book thus offers a rich lexical psychoanalytic source alongside its main aim in analysing the reader’s psychological mechanisms and development. Psychoanalytic interpretation of those literary readers opens three main avenues to the reader’s experience: the transference relations toward the literary characters; the literary work as means to transcend beyond the reader’s self-identity and existential boundaries; and mobilization of internal dialectic tensions towards new integration and psychic equilibrium. An Epilogue concludes by emphasising the transformational power embedded in reading literature. The fascinating dialogue between literature and psychoanalysis illuminates hitherto concealed aspects of each discipline and contributes to new insights in both fields. A Psychoanalytic Perspective on Reading Literature will be of great interest not only to psychoanalytic-psychotherapists and literature scholars but also to a wider readership beyond these areas of study. | A Psychoanalytic Perspective on Reading Literature Reading the Reader
