In Haunting Encounters, Joanne Lipson Freed traces the narrative strategies through which certain works of fiction forge connections with their readers across boundaries of difference. Freed uses the idea of haunting-an intense, temporary, and transformative encounter that defies rational understanding-as a metaphor for the kinds of ethical relationships that such works cultivate with their readers across boundaries of difference. Freed points out how such works as Toni Morrison's Beloved, Leslie Marmon Silko's Ceremony, and Arundhati Roy's The God of Small Things strike a delicate balance between empathy and alterity. Their engaging narratives, Freed argues, bring unfamiliar characters and distant settings to life for readers who encounter them as "other," but they also highlight the limits of fiction, holding in check the impulse to colonize another's experience with one's own. Haunting Encounters is a sensitive and perceptive application of theory to real-world concerns. It draws together the fields of postcolonial fiction and narrative ethics and suggests original modes of engagement between readers and books that promise new ways of looking at the world.Ghosts in literatureAmerican fiction21st centuryHistory and criticismAmerican fiction20th centuryHistory and criticismGhost storiesHistory and criticismSupernatural in literatureCommonwealth fiction (English)21st centuryHistory and criticismTransnationalism in literatureDifference (Philosophy) in literatureMemory in literaturePsychic trauma in literatureCommonwealth fiction (English)20th centuryHistory and criticismGhosts in literature.American fictionHistory and criticism.American fictionHistory and criticism.Ghost storiesHistory and criticism.Supernatural in literature.Commonwealth fiction (English)History and criticism.Transnationalism in literature.Difference (Philosophy) in literature.Memory in literature.Psychic trauma in literature.Commonwealth fiction (English)History and criticism.813/.0873309Freed Joanne Lipson1983-1720386MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910809915603321Haunting encounters4118993UNINA02815nam 2200661Ia 450 991081930350332120200520144314.01-119-96774-01-280-58999-X97866136198221-119-96699-X1-119-96700-7(CKB)2670000000169488(EBL)877208(OCoLC)819593226(SSID)ssj0000659203(PQKBManifestationID)11378390(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000659203(PQKBWorkID)10694678(PQKB)10546112(MiAaPQ)EBC877208(DLC) 2015299005(Au-PeEL)EBL877208(CaPaEBR)ebr10546598(CaONFJC)MIL361982(EXLCZ)99267000000016948820111108d2012 uy 0engur|||||||||||txtccrTransparent oxide electronics[electronic resource] from materials to devices /Pedro Barquinha ...

It is essential for touch display panels, solar cells, LEDs and antistatic coatings. The book describes the concept of transparent electronics, passive and active oxide semiconductors, multicomponent dielectrics and their importance for a new era of novel electronic materials and products. This is followed by a short history of transistors, and how oxides have revolutionized this field.
