Описание:
In Life Is Elsewhere, Anne Lounsbery shows how nineteenth-century Russian literature created an imaginary place called "the provinces"—a place at once homogeneous, static, anonymous, and symbolically opposed to Petersburg and Moscow. Lounsbery looks at a wide range of texts, both canonical and lesser-known, in order to explain why the trope has exercised such enduring power, and what role it plays in the larger symbolic geography that structures Russian literature's representation of the nation's space. Using a comparative approach, she brings to light fundamental questions that have long gone unasked: how to understand, for instance, the weakness of literary regionalism in a country as large as Russia? Why the insistence, from Herzen through Chekhov and beyond, that all Russian towns look the same? In a literary tradition that constantly compared itself to a western European standard, Lounsbery argues, the problem of provinciality always implied difficult questions about the symbolic geography of the nation as a whole. This constant awareness of a far-off European model helps explain why the provinces, in all their supposed drabness and predictability, are a topic of such fascination for Russian writers—why these anonymous places are in effect so important and meaningful, notwithstanding the culture's nearly unremitting emphasis on their nullity and meaninglessness.
Описание: "It's not for us I'm afraid " various: For the very first time, fresh from the Isle of Wight, Mark brings you a collection of stories that simply weren't considered good enough - from the slush piles sent toppling across the world to the 15 minute theatre rejected twice by radio four... Mark has collected together the unsung hero's of his archives - the one's that might have made it; nearly made it and could have made it... The story too complex for interzone; the classic he was inspired to write while a rat was chewing through boiler cables at his home . A-nd a host of re-worked last ditch internet friendly sagas... Finally placed in a nice book that takes up less space than a hard-drive..stories that were considered: better placed elsewhere

For what or whom would you sacrifice your life? Why would you lay down the most precious gift you have been given? For what greater being, purpose, ideal, or calling would you choose to bleed out in the jaws of beast, take a bullet, hang crucified, jump in the way of a juggernaut, or await the injection that will stop your heart?
Here are fifteen tales of men and women who love their lives and those around them and would rather die than betray that which they hold sacred. Welcome to No Greater Love: Martyrs of Earth and Elsewhere.

Mine is a very strange business. I specialize in the discovery and disclosure of stories considered far too outlandish for traditional publication. It has been my life's work to seek out narratives of a phantasmal or fantastic nature. This book contains some of the more unusual accounts that I have collected over the years. You will find horror between these pages, certainly, but there is something else as well, something far stronger: hope. The purpose of this book is not to frighten but to hearten. There are those of us who battle against the great darkness of this world, but we are few, like candles in the abyss, so I seek to inspire more to action. Our work is difficult but our motto is simple...
Do Good. Fight Evil. Repeat.

Challenging the commonly held perception that immigrants' lives are shaped exclusively by their sending and receiving countries, Here, There, and Elsewhere breaks new ground by showing how immigrants are vectors of globalization who both produce and experience the interconnectedness of societies--not only the societies of origin and destination, but also, the societies in places beyond. Tahseen Shams posits a new concept for thinking about these places that are neither the immigrants' homeland nor hostland--the "elsewhere." Drawing on rich ethnographic data, interviews, and analysis of the social media activities of South Asian Muslim Americans, Shams uncovers how different dimensions of the immigrants' ethnic and religious identities connect them to different elsewheres in places as far-ranging as the Middle East, Europe, and Africa. Yet not all places in the world are elsewheres. How a faraway foreign land becomes salient to the immigrant's sense of self depends on an interplay of global hierarchies, homeland politics, and hostland dynamics. Referencing today's 24-hour news cycle and the ways that social media connects diverse places and peoples at the touch of a screen, Shams traces how the homeland, hostland, and elsewhere combine to affect the ways in which immigrants and their descendants understand themselves and are understood by others.
