Evil after postmodernism: histories, narratives and ethics โดย Jennifer L. GeddesIn Evil After Postmodernism,six distinguished scholars address our understanding of evil in the light of postmodern thought, asking what might be lost in losing the concept of evil and what dangers might be incurred by continuing to use it. The essays in this volume are organized around three themes: the histories, narratives, and ethics of evil. In each section, the first essay illustrates theoretical difficulties thinking about evil faces in the postmodern age, while the second offers a constructive response to that difficulty. Contributors include Berel Lang, Larry D. Bouchard, Roger Shattuck, David B. Morris, Thomas Cushman, and Richard Kearney.
A Postmodern reader โดย Joseph P. Natoli,Linda HutcheonThese readings are organized into four sections. The first explores the wellsprings of the debates in the relationship between the postmodern and the enterprise it both continues and contravenes: modernism. Here philosophers, social and political commentators, as well as cultural and literary analysts present controversial background essays on the complex history of postmodernism. The readings in the second section debate the possibility - or desirability - of trying to define the postmodern, given its cultural agenda of decentering, challenging, even undermining the guiding
Cultural studies and the study of popular culture โดย John StoreyThis revised and fully updated version of John Storey's best-selling survey is an accessible introduction to the range of theories and methods that have been used to study contemporary popular culture. The book also provides a map of the development of cultural studies through discussion of its most influential approaches. Organized around a series of case studies, each chapter focuses on a different media form and presents a critical overview of the methodology for the actual study of popular culture. Individual chapters cover topics such as television, fiction, film, newspapers and magazines, popular music, and consumption (fan culture and shopping).
Intertextuality โดย Graham AllenNo text has its meaning alone; all texts have their meaning in relation to other texts. Since Julia Kristeva coined the term in the 1960s,intertextualityhas been a dominant idea within literary and cultural studies leaving none of the traditional ideas about reading or writing undisturbed. This book, the first full-length study of intertextuality in English, fills an important gap. Following all the major turns in the term's history, this handy guide clearly explains how intertextuality is employed in structuralist, post-structuralist, semiotic, deconstructive, reader-response, marxist, feminist and psychoanalytic theory. From the alternative origins of Saussurean linguistics and the work of Bakhtin the book traces the major directions of intertextual theory to the postmodern present.
Graham Allen's Intertextuality follows all of the major moves in the term's history, and clearly explains how intertextuality is employed in:
structuralism
post-structuralism
deconstruction
postcolonialism
marxism
feminism
psychoanalytic theory
With a wealth of illuminating examples from literary and cultural texts, including special examination of the World Wide Web, this book will prove invaluable for any students of literature and culture.

The memory of Tiresias: intertextuality and filmThe concept of intertextuality has proven of inestimable value in recent attempts to understand the nature of literature and its relation to other systems of cultural meaning. In The Memory of Tiresias, Mikhail Iamposlki presents the first sustained attempt to develop a theory of cinematic intertextuality.Building on the insights of semiotics and contemporary film theory, Iampolski defines cinema as a chain of transparent, mimetic fragments intermixed with quotations he calls "textual anomalies." These challenge the normalization of meaning and seek to open reading out onto the unlimited field of cultural history, which is understood in texts as a semiotically active extract, already inscribed.
Quotations obstruct mimesis and are consequently transformed in the process of semiosis, an operation that Iampolski defines as reading in an aura of enigma. In a series of brilliant analyses of films by D.W. Griffith, Sergei Eisenstein, and Luis Buuel, he presents different strategies of intertextual reading in their work. His book suggests the continuing centrality of semiotic analysis and is certain to interest film historians and theorists, as well as readers in cultural and literary studies.

Watching with The Simpsons: television, parody, and intertextuality โดย Jonathan GrayUsing our favorite Springfield family as a case study,Watching with The Simpsonsexamines the textual and social role of parody in offering critical commentary on other television programs and genres. In this book, Jonathan Gray brings together textual theory, discussions of television and the public sphere, and ideas of parody and comedy. As a study, including primary audience research, it focuses on howThe Simpsonshas been able to talk back to three of television's key genres - the sitcom, ads, and the news - and on how it holds the potential to short-circuit these genre's meanings, power, and effects by provoking reinterpretations and offering more media literate recontextualizations. Through examining television and media studies theory, the text ofThe Simpsons,and the show's audience, Gray attempts to fully situate the show's parodic humor within the lived realities of its audiences. In doing so, he further explores the possibilities for popular entertainment television -and particularly comedy- to discuss issues of political and social importance.
