O conjunto busca delinear um mapa dos modos como se configura, nas últimas décadas, a ficcionalização do passado histórico. Seus contornos são flexíveis, por vezes esfumaçados. Assim como os ficcionistas que elegem o interstício entre a ficção e a história como campo privilegiado não se mostram preocupados em marcar as fronteiras entre as áreas, também os estudiosos que se dedicam à modalidade romanesca daí resultante buscam tirar partido da pluralidade dos métodos históricos e da abrangência da ficção contemporânea.

O Cânone Visual apresenta uma investigação das belas-artes sob o ponto de vista da teoria do discurso. No campo dos estudos da linguagem, atualmente, o conceito de “discurso” mostra-se complexo e multifacetado: constitui-se de um modo de produzir sentido que se materializa em diversos sistemas de signos, como a língua, as imagens, os gestos, etc. Nesta obra, investiga-se como as artes plásticas estão a serviço dos discursos, ora para reafirmá-los, ora para refutá-los. A partir de Michel Foucault, que refletiu intensivamente sobre a dimensão discursiva que atravessa os textos e as imagens, este livro aprofunda a discussão sobre o sentido do cânone visual ocidental sob as perspectivas teórica, epistemológica e analítica.

Dostoevsky attached introductions to his most challenging narratives, including Notes from the House of the Dead, Notes from Underground, The Devils, The Brothers Karamazov, and “A Gentle Creature.” Despite his clever attempts to call his readers’ attention to these introductions, they have been neglected as an object of study for over 150 years. That oversight is rectified in First Words, the first systematic study of Dostoevsky’s introductions. Using Genette’s typology of prefaces and Bakhtin’s notion of multiple voices, Lewis Bagby reveals just how important Dostoevsky’s first words are to his fiction. Dostoevsky’s ruses, verbal winks, and backward glances indicate a lively and imaginative author at earnest play in the field of literary discourse.

Australia has been seen as a land of both punishment and refuge. Australian literature has explored these controlling alternatives, and vividly rendered the landscape on which they transpire. Twentieth-century writers left Australia to see the world; now Australia's distance no longer provides sanctuary. But today the global perspective has arrived with a vengeance. In Contemporary Australian Literature: A World Not Yet Dead, Nicholas Birns tells the story of how novelists, poets and critics, from Patrick White to Hannah Kent, from Alexis Wright to Christos Tsiolkas, responded to this condition. With rancour, concern and idealism, modern Australian literature conveys a tragic sense of the past yet an abiding vision of the way forward. Birns paints a vivid picture of a rich Australian literary voice - one not lost to the churning of global markets, but in fact given new life by it.
