Genealogy and Literature By:Lee Quinby Published on 1995 by U of Minnesota Press ( DOWNLOAD NOW ) Traditionalists insist that literature transcends culture. Others counter that it is subversive by nature. By challenging both claims, Genealogy and Literature reveals the importance of literature for understanding dominant and often violent power/knowledge relations within a given society. The authors explore the ways in which literature functions as a cultural practice, the links between death and literature as a field of discourse, and the possibilities of dismantling modes of bodily regulation. Through wide-ranging investigations of writing from England, France, Nigeria, Peru, Japan, and the United States, they reinvigorate the study of literature as a means of understanding the complexities of everyday experience.

The History in Literature By:Herbert Lindenberger Published on 1990 by Columbia University Press ( DOWNLOAD NOW ) Herbert Lindenberger was one of the first literary critics to call for some kind of return to historical thinking in literary criticism. His ten essays cover canon formation, the historical status of genres, and the ways that art and criticism are embedded within institutional frameworks. Lindenberger argues that, |what we label 'historical' assumes strikingly different shapes in different historical situations| and that present shape empowers new kind of knowledge. He writes, |We may well discover that our century-old form of organization within the humanities no longer fits the type of knowledge we are producing.| The lively and topical essays of The History in Literature demonstrate Lindenberger's capacious and diverse knowledge, his incisive wit, and his formidable critical skills.
