Serbian writer Danilo Kis was preoccupied with man's dehumanization in a mechanized, totalitarian world. His dazzling fiction established him as one of the most artful and eloquent authors of postwar Europe. In this first collection of his non-fiction, Kis displays the dynamic, sensitive, and insistently questioning approach to the dilemmas of the modern world that distinguishes his novels and stories and confirms his reputation as one of the most important voices of our time.

As always, particularly in poetry, those in Diaspora were considered by the native as second-hand poets! Or even worse, as the third hands poets! Or even nephews of Nobody’s Deity! As a consequence of such misunderstanding, I’ve decided to call myself as proto-poet! Let's see now, in which class I will be categorized and perhaps laid down and obviously will I be humiliated, will I be forgotten and useless crucified! I will accept upon alter of the poetical art, all of these disgracing, coming from my comrades, with the hope of revenge through a better poetry… Proto-poet through Homo Poeticum

Noemi Marin analyzes famous writers from the area as critical intellectuals and exiles in order to explore the role of rhetoric and identity in writers' own experiences during the long history of communism. Along with examinations of discursive relationships among power, culture and resistance in works by George Konrad, Andrei Codrescu, and Siavenka Drakulic before and after the fall of communism, Marin proposes specific dimensions for a rhetoric of exile pertinent to communist Eastern and Central Europe. After the Fall shows how critical works on identity, culture, and communist history by the writers studied aid in reconstituting a rhetoric of dissidence, identity, and legitimation in the public discourse of a changing Europe. The book offers a unique perspective on the complex contexts of political transition, in which competing public discourse on freedom and democracy intersect with totalitarian regimes, unsettled societies, and issues of resistance.

…The hardest duty for a novelist, or journalist, or for a poet or better says, a proto-poet, is to use a harsh fight and challenge through word and wordage against the original word itself… …Our Species Sapiens has been hit by many crises and shortages, by concentric circles of insufficiency and boasted inflationary cycles, of un-numerable rows of deficiencies, by multiple difficulties and vulnerabilities, and is trying now, to regain its spirit through technology and science, through philosophy and ideology, through theology, teleology and poetry, and subsequently, through the engagement into the triad of Encyclopedism, Conceptologism and Videologism… …It is our BEING INTO AGORRA a Poetry?... a Philosophy?... a synthesis of the two?... Or a Supra-synthesis of all different determinants of abstract area of human in coming, of human in becoming and of the same human in overcoming, of human-to-be, of human-to-becoming and human to-overcoming?... Would be possible a renaissance of our Species, still called Sapiens for many, or Homo Bipedismus – Culture Evolution by myself, through literature? Through novel? Through prose? Through poetry? Through a philosophy of all, to the hope of regaining its basic function of Sapientological Utilitarism through education and learning?... …We are out of Latin space of the Eastern Europe, but in contact and reciprocity with German culture, Magyar culture, Hebrew culture, Slavonic culture, and through extension with all Sapientological cultures and civilizations, of all times, and of all latitudes and of all longitudes… Encylopaedist through Sapientologist

This book is the first to deal with documentary aesthetic practices of the post-war period in Eastern Europe in a comparative perspective. The contributions examine the specific forms and modes of documentary representations and the role they played in the formation of new aesthetic trends during the cultural-political transition of the long 1960s. This documentary first-hand approach to the world aimed to break up unquestioned ideological structures and expose tabooed truths in order to engender much-needed social changes. New ways of depicting daily life, writing testimony or subjective reportage emerged that still shape cultural debates today.

George Orwell argued that one of the four great motives for a prose writer was the desire ‘to push the world in a certain direction, to alter other people’s idea of the kind of society that they should strive after’. This book contains exciting new work by established and emerging scholars that explores political literature over the last century and a half. It shows how, from The Communist Manifesto to the dystopian future of Margaret Atwood’s Oryx and Crake, writers have attempted to alter people’s ideas, not always successfully. Eighteen chapters deal with a global array of writers and topics, from 1890s Australian bohemians and the anti-Peronism of Argentina’s Julio Cortázar to Aris Alexandrou’s Greek utopia and the harsh modern Zimbabwe of Yvonne Vera’s The Stone Virgins. Other contributors critically examine the sexual politics of nineteenth century aestheticism, Theodor Adorno and Cultural Studies, Paul Auster and the altermodern, Yeats’s poetry, Celan and the Holocaust, the postmodernism of former-Yugoslavia’s Dubravka Ugrešić, or the socialism of Australian Jean Devanny. Whether through informed studies of poetry and politics in Heidegger, Richard Marsh’s gothic novel The Beetle, how Thomas Pynchon and Don DeLillo deal with 9/11, the cultural politics of child abuse in Christos Tsiolkas’s The Slap, or how the German politician Joschka Fischer lost weight, readers will be stimulated by a collection that shows political literature’s continuing ability to inform, enrage and engage readers from around the world.

What does it mean to be human? Humanism has mostly considered this question from a Western perspective. Through a detailed examination of a vast literary tradition, Hamid Dabashi asks that question anew, from a non-European point of view. The answers are fresh, provocative, and deeply transformative. This groundbreaking study of Persian humanism presents the unfolding of a tradition as the creative and subversive subconscious of Islamic civilization. Exploring how 1,400 years of Persian literature have taken up the question of what it means to be human, Dabashi proposes that the literary subconscious of a civilization may also be the undoing of its repressive measures. This could account for the masculinist hostility of the early Arab conquest that accused Persian culture of effeminate delicacy and sexual misconduct, and later of scientific and philosophical inaccuracy. As the designated feminine subconscious of a decidedly masculinist civilization, Persian literary humanism speaks from a hidden and defiant vantage point-and this is what inclines it toward creative subversion. Arising neither despite nor because of Islam, Persian literary humanism was the artistic manifestation of a cosmopolitan urbanism that emerged in the aftermath of the seventh-century Muslim conquest. Removed from the language of scripture and scholasticism, Persian literary humanism occupies a distinct universe of moral obligations in which "a judicious lie," as the thirteenth-century poet Sheykh Mosleh al-Din Sa'di writes, "is better than a seditious truth."
