Description

Product Description Heroes and heroic discourse have gained new visibility in the twenty-first century. This is noted in recent research on the heroic, but it has been largely ignored that heroism is increasingly a global phenomenon both in terms of production and consumption. This edited collection aims to bridge this research void and brings together case studies by scholars from different parts of the world and diverse fields. They explore how transnational and transcultural processes of translation and adaptation shape notions of the heroic in non-Western and Western cultures alike. The book provides fresh perspectives on heroism studies and offers a new angle for global and postcolonial studies. About the Author Barbara Korte is Professor of English Literature at the University of Freiburg and principal investigator at the Freiburg Collaborative Research Center on Heroes, Heroizations and Heroisms. Simon Wendt is Professor of American Studies at the University of Frankfurt. Nicole Falkenhayner is Senior Lecturer in British Literary and Cultural Studies and principal investigator in the Collaborative Research Center on Heroes, Heroizations and Heroisms at the University of Freiburg.
