Post-Empire Imaginaries? Anglophone Literature, History, and the Demise of Empires

Empires as political entities may be a thing of the past, but as a concept, empire is alive and kicking. From heritage tourism and costume dramas to theories of the imperial idea(l): empire sells. Post-Empire Imaginaries? Anglophone Literature, History, and the Demise of Empires presents innovative scholarship on the lives and legacies of empires in diverse media such as literature, film, advertising, and the visual arts. Though rooted in real space and history, the post-empire and its twin, the post-imperial, emerge as ungraspable ideational constructs. The volume convincingly establishes empire as welcoming resistance and affirmation, introducing post-empire imaginaries as figurations that connect the archives and repertoires of colonial nostalgia, postcolonial critique, post-imperial dreaming.

A look at the role that symbolism plays in the novel. In this case, as it is in many other great novels, we see that symbolism is used to enhance the mood and the atmosphere of the novel rather than adding anything of importance to the plot.

Vicent Garcia, poeta europeu

Si hi ha un període postmedieval similar al nostre d’avui en la història literària catalana en el qual els nostres escriptors -trencant radicalment amb una tradició ja obsoleta (com era la del cinc-cents en la seva major part)- es posen a l’alçada dels corrents literaris europeus, aquest és el període barroc (cf. Rossich 1984 ). El text que em proposo analitzar i comparar il·lustra perfectament aquesta circumstància
