In Memoriam Professor Mihaela Irimia: “Solemnest of industries”
Clinging to Flesh: Embodied Experience in Contemporary Women’s Dystopias
In much contemporary speculative fiction by women, the cyborgization of the body is metaphoric rather than physical, suggesting ambivalence toward artificial enhancements and reproduction. Drawing on the recent material turn in feminism, this essay analyzes representations of the agency of matter and the interdependencies of nature and culture that shape women’s experiences and thus help envision alternative futures. Rather than replicate patriar…
Flying Machines and Time Experiment in Kazuo Ishiguro’s “Bewilderment Trilogy”
The three novels of Kazuo Ishiguro’s mid-career illustrate their author’s quest for narrative forms that can express the temporal dimension of the human condition in Modernity. The need to discover the causes of trauma and work through its effects organises the narrative along intersecting trajectories, juxtaposing anticipation and retrospection with the linear logic of the evolution from childhood to adulthood, from ignorance to experience, and …

Reading Kazuo Ishiguro’s “Bewilderment Trilogy” as Bildungsromane
In this essay, Kazuo Ishiguro’s “Bewilderment Trilogy” is read as a series of Bildungsromane that test the limits of that genre.

The Romance of Reading (in) Academic Fiction
The Discourse of Self-Representation in Literary Studies in 1980s Romania
The Discourse of Self-Representation in Literary Studies in 1980s Romania Ana-Karina Schneider (bio) Romania's relationship to literatures in the English language has been interestingly complex. Traditionally, Romania has had an affinity to French and German, not English; nevertheless, Transylvanian collectors purchased books in English as early as the 18th century,1 and the first translation to be published after Romania adopted Latin script in …
Literary studies in Romania before and after 1989
In comparative terms, after the strict cultural policies and censorship of the communist regime, the literature and literary studies of post-communist Romania would seem to be almost completely free of the political. This article investigates the complex ways in which various aspects of the study and reception of English literature - from the practice of teaching English, through textbooks, to literary translation - reflect the evolution of the r…
Skin as a Trope of Liminality in Anne Enright's The Gathering
Of the many figurations of liminality and disjunction in Anne Enright’s 2007 novel The Gathering, skin is possibly the most complex trope. As it demarcates and safeguards the protagonist Veronica Hegarty’s elusive sense of self while she traverses a period of mourning, skin recuperates the immediacy of its anatomical function of holding her in, but it also acquires metaphoric value, denoting an inside-outside dialectic that defines both interpers…
