Public ISBD Titre : History and Fiction : Writers, their research, worlds and stories Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Gillian, Polack, Auteur Editeur : Germany : Peter lang Année de publication : 2016 Importance : 191 p Format : 6.2 x 0.8 x 9.2 ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-3-0343-1981-2 Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 823 Fiction Résumé : Fiction plays a vital role in describing history and transmitting culture. How writers understand and use history can play an equally important role in how they navigate a novel. This book explores the nature of the author’s relationship with history and fiction – often using writers’ own words – as well as the role history plays in fiction. Focusing on genre fiction, this study considers key issues in the relationship between history and fiction, such as how writers contextualise the history they use in their fiction and how they incorporate historical research. The book also addresses the related topic of world building using history, discussing the connections between the science fiction writers’ notion of world building and the scholarly understanding of story space and explaining the mechanics of constructing the world of the novel. This book places the writing of fiction into a wider framework of history and writing and encourages dialogue between writers and historians.

Darko Suvin's paradigm-setting definition of SF as «the literature of cognitive estrangement» established a robust theory of the genre that continues to spark fierce debate, as well as inspiring myriad intellectual descendants and disciples. Suvin's centuries-spanning history of the genre links SF to a long tradition of utopian and satirical literatures crying out for a better world than this one, showing how SF and the imagination of utopia are now forever intertwined. In addition to the 1979 text of the book, this edition contains three additional essays from Suvin that update, expand and reconsider the terms of his original intervention, as well as a new introduction and preface that situate the book in the context of the decades of SF studies that Metamorphoses of Science Fiction [texte imprimé] / Suvin, Darko, Auteur . - Germany : Peter lang, 2016 . - 466 p ; 15.2 x 3.2 x 22.9 cm.

Policing in Colonial Empires : cases, connections, boundaries (ca. 1850-1970) / Blanchard, Emmanuel

Public ISBD Titre : Policing in Colonial Empires : cases, connections, boundaries (ca. 1850-1970) Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Blanchard, Emmanuel, Auteur Editeur : Germany : Peter lang Année de publication : 2017 Importance : 253 p. Présentation : couv. ill. en coll. Format : 22x15 cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-2-8076-0064-5 Langues : Anglais (eng) Langues originales : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : 363 Autres problèmes et services sociaux Résumé : Colonial security strategies and the postcolonial vestiges they left both in the global South and in former metropoles have recently attracted renewed academic attention. Policing in Colonial Empires is a collection of essays reflecting current, ongoing research and exploring the multifaceted dynamics of policing in colonial societies over the past two centuries. Spanning several continents and colonial contexts (some of them liminal or little-explored), the book examines the limits and legitimacies of the functioning of colonial policing. Addressing issues such as collaboration, coercion, violence, race, and intelligence, the collected works ask what exactly was colonial about colonial policing. Together, the contributors point out the complex nature of colonial law and order maintenance, and provide insights on histories that might reflect the legacies of its many variants.
