Free Download An Innocent Abroad: Lectures in China by J. Hillis Miller, Fredric Jameson
English | 2015 | ISBN: 0810132583 | 339 pages | PDF | 1.47 Mb
Since 1988, J. Hillis Miller has traveled to China to lecture on literary theory, especially the role of globalization in literary theory. Over time, he has assisted in the development of distinctively Chinese forms of literary theory, Comparative Literature, and World Literature. The fifteen lectures gathered in An Innocent Abroad span both time and geographic location, reflecting his work at universities across China for more than twenty-five years. More important, they reflect the evolution of Miller's thinking and of the lectures' contexts in China as these have markedly changed over the years, especially on either side of Tiananmen Square and in light of China's economic growth and technological change. A foreword by the leading theorist Fredric Jameson provides additional context.

Free Download Dying Abroad: The Political Afterlives of Migration in Europe
English | 2023 | ISBN: 100928858X | 254 Pages | PDF | 8 MB
On any given day, the remains of countless deceased migrants are shipped around the world to be buried in ancestral soils. Others are laid to rest in countries of settlement, sometimes in cemeteries established for religious and ethnic minorities, where available. For immigrants and their descendants, perennial questions about the meaning of home and homeland take on a particular gravitas in death. When the boundaries of a nation and its members are contested, burial decisions are political acts. Building on multi-sited fieldwork in Berlin and Istanbul - where the author worked as an undertaker - Dying Abroad offers a moving and powerful account of migrants' end-of-life dilemmas, vividly illustrating how they are connected to ongoing political struggles over the stakes of citizenship, belonging, and collective identity in contemporary Europe.
