The project examines texts by eight authors across the colonial, postwar and post-9/11 eras – Olaudah Equiano, Sake Dean Mahomet, Henry Callaway, R.C. Temple, Amos Tutuola, G.V. Desani, Tsitsi Dangarembga and Aravind Adiga – in order to map different strategies of selfhood across four fields of literature: autobiographical life writing, folk anthology, postwar fabulism, and contemporary realism. Drawing on historical analysis, psychological inquiry, comparative linguistics, postcolonial criticism and social theory, this book responds to a renewed emphasis on the narrative strategies and creative choices involved in a literary construction of the self. Threaded through this investigation is an analysis of the effects of globalization, or the intensification of intercultural and dialogic complexity over time. | | 出版日期 | Book 2023 | | 关键词 | Life Writing; Literature and Postcolonial Studies; Literature and Cultural Studies; Globalization and L | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-27605-7 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-031-27607-1 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-031-27605-7 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
