Sea and coast – in texts from antiquity to the present mostly seen as mere spaces of transit and division between geographical places – are hotly contested topographical phenomena, which instigate the designation of highly semanticized cultural spaces in imagination and everyday practice. Literature has always been a central agent of the maritime cultural imaginary through the initiation and negotiation of competing versions of coast and sea. This anthology offers international research on historically specific functions of maritime spaces as historicized places, where national and individual identities, cultural exchange, a globalized economy, and ‘the technical sublime’ are dramatized. The essays focus on literature from Shakespeare through British literary history to David Dabydeen, Yann Martel, and Australian author Stephen Orr, but also on film (James Cameron, Danny Boyle), cartography, and historiographical accounts of Irish migration or Caribbean piracy in the late 17th century. They enlarge the field of ‘Hermeneutical Sea Studies’, an only recently established area of Cultural Studies. The book is targeted at an academic audience, while retaining a high level of appeal for any reader who is interested in popular culture. As the anthology combines theoretical approaches with practical case studies, it is suitable for courses at university level, both graduate and undergraduate.Spatial Practices18.Sea in literatureSea storiesHistory and criticismSea in literaturefastSea storiesfastCriticism, interpretation, etc.fastElectronic books.Sea in literature.Sea storiesHistory and criticism.Sea in literature.Sea stories.809/.9332162Horatschek Anna-Margaretha983971Rosenberg Yvonne1977-983972Schäbler Daniel983973NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910467926903321Navigating cultural spaces2246759UNINA04207nam 2200637Ia 450 991013976120332120200520144314.01-282-25936-997866122593640-470-47887-X0-470-47888-8(CKB)1000000000793111(EBL)456033(OCoLC)441892244(SSID)ssj0000306473(PQKBManifestationID)11925036(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000306473(PQKBWorkID)10298347(PQKB)10208767(MiAaPQ)EBC456033(Au-PeEL)EBL456033(CaPaEBR)ebr10325859(CaONFJC)MIL225936(PPN)152523286(EXLCZ)99100000000079311120081212d2009 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrPolyphosphazenes for biomedical applications[electronic resource] /edited by Alexander K AndrianovHoboken, N.J.
