Grouped into four sections, the articles (1) focus on how fictional texts resist the dynamics of history by consciously rewriting it; (2) explore how texts resist the readers' desire to witness an authentic act of origin and instead perform the past's resistance against recovery; (3) describe cultural institutions and their rhetoric of resistance against mainstream views that nevertheless has potential for productive resistance go unused; and (4) offer new approaches to literary texts that are usually read as resisting a specific ideology but can be shown to resist in a more complex way. The 'resisting texts' in these studies include works by Thomas Bernhard, António Botto, Daniil Charms, Allen Ginsberg, Toni Morrison, Octavio Paz, W.G. Sebald, and Virginia Woolf.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peter Lang D","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47813483167895,"sku":"9783899751956","price":5837.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783899751956.webp?v=1778336304","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/resisting-texts-exploring-positions-in-a-complex-relationship-9783899751956","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
