Vendeur : ANTIQUARIAT FÖRDEBUCH Inh.Michael Simon, Eckernförde, Allemagne
Etat : Gut. 420 S. guter Zustand, engl. sprachig, Einband leicht berieben, Schutzumschlag leicht berieben. Zum Buch: Inhalt: Das Buch bündelt 17 Essays und Rezensionen aus drei Jahrzehnten literaturtheoretischer Debatten. Abrams setzt sich darin kritisch mit Strömungen wie dem New Criticism, dem New Historicism, dem Strukturalismus und der Dekonstruktion auseinander. [1, 2] Die vier poetischen Theorien: Abrams ordnet literarische Theorien in vier Grundtypen ein: mimetisch (Nachahmung der Realität), pragmatisch (Wirkung auf das Publikum), expressiv (fokussiert auf den Autor) und objektiv (das Werk als autonomes Objekt). [1] Humanistischer Standpunkt: Als traditioneller Humanist verteidigt Abrams die Auffassung, dass Texte menschliche Dokumente mit einer bestimmbaren Bedeutung sind. Er wendet sich in berühmten Essays wie "The Deconstructive Angel" entschieden gegen radikale poststrukturelle Ansätze (wie jene von Jacques Derrida), die eine stabile Textbedeutung leugnen.
