Description:

seria: Zeszyty Naukowe Uniwersytetu Zielonogórskiego. Seria Scripta Humana ; t. 12 ; The volume presents perceptive interpretations of the literary representations of culturally constructed American identities. The questions considered are: How do the writers` narratives challenge essentialist categories of race, gender, sex, and nation? What attitudes do the characters develop in relation to these categories? How do the writers envision the future development of American identities? ; What sorts of identities do their characters represent? What roles do space, ethnicity, politics, and social status play in the characters` (re)definition of their identity? What factors and circumstances encourage or impel the characters to reconsider themselves? What role do racial consciousness and gender consciousness play in the characters` development of identity? ; What choices do they make? How are post-colonialist, deconstructionist, psychoanalytical, and feminist approaches applicable in the analyses of literary representations of identity formation? What is the relationship between the sense of identity of individual writers and their attitudes towards their own literary practice? (from Introduction)
