Tropes and Territories: Short Fiction, Postcolonial Readings, Canadian Writings in ContextMcGill-Queen's Press - MQUP, 26 Eki 2007 - 384 sayfa Tropes and Territories demonstrates how current debates in postcolonial criticism bear on the reading, writing, and status of short fiction. These debates, which hinge on competing definitions of "trope" (motif vs rhetorical turn) and "territory" (political or aesthetic), lead to studies of space, place, influence, and writing and reading practices across cultural divides. The essays also explore the character of diasporic writing, the cultural significance of oral tale-telling, and interconnections between socio/political issues and strategies of style. |
